I have a hero simulator

"You will scream in my lantern." The Blood Moon Demon squeezed out words one by one, floating close to the ears of the Demon Lord Artemaeus: "Demon Lord, death and suffering are great. Come, return to my lantern."

“Ahhhh——!!”

The frightened Demon King Artemaeus ran backwards desperately without looking back, his heavy breathing pounding his lungs. He became unconscious after inhaling a large amount of black mist.

However, as Artemaeus continued to run, he noticed that the lords of the dead riding on war horses appeared on both sides at the same time. The Shadow Island monsters, like Hecarim, swung chains and hammers to hit Artemaeus on the back of the head, then tied his legs and feet to the horses' hooves and dragged him back while sparks flew on the ground.

Demon Lord Artemaeus screamed and scratched the ground, leaving several finger marks, and was quickly caught and brought before the Soul Chain Warden.

"No matter where you flee, death will not change. But before that, you have to pass through my hands."

0 ...... .......

As Shen Yuan spoke, he stretched out his hand towards the neck of Demon Lord Artemaeus.

Will the devil also be afraid?

It would seem so. His fear seemed no different from that of ordinary people; he was also afraid of unknown beings that were more terrifying than himself.

Evil god.

At this moment, in the eyes of the Demon Lord Artemaeus, Shen Yuan was no different from the terrifying "evil god".

Unspeakable, all-consuming fear.

It instantly swept through the consciousness of Demon Lord Artemaeus, and then he found that his spirit body was separated from the pale ghost figure like an evil god in front of him. His soul strangely turned into a small point of light and was sucked into the lantern with terrible gravity like a black hole. Finally, he was imprisoned in a painful prison, looking at the huge "face".

It was not until this moment that Demon Lord Artemaeus realized that he was "dead".

And became Thresh's toy.

has it ended?

No! The claustrophobic oppression filled the mouth, nose, and throat of the Demon King Artemaeus.

What awaited him was a terrifying and insatiable hunger, an endless hunger that seemed to pull more souls into darkness.

Then the cacophony of notes was deafening—a million tortured souls screaming, tossing and turning in shared agony.

This is the black mist.

The soul of Demon Lord Artemaeus and these tortured souls were trapped in the lantern, suffering from hunger, burning pain and other tortures, which gradually wore away his mind. If he saw other living creatures, he would desperately reach out to grab those living creatures like the vengeful spirits.

The reason for capturing those creatures is like grasping at the only lifeline. The living are afraid of these resentful spirits, while these spirits long for the living to take them away from this hell.

This is the Soul Chain Warden.

Only the strongest souls can escape his clutches, and only those with unfinished business can earn his admiration.

This is also why, once the "Soul Guiding Lantern" is released, the evil spirits fight desperately to please Thresh and beg him not to lock them in the lantern again.

In this "lantern prison", no soul can withstand the torture. Once they are transformed, they will become the most loyal ants.

"Ah~ Such a sweet, tragic tone."

Thresh (Shen Yuan) held a lantern and squinted his eyes to observe the ghosts inside. He saw the demon king he had imprisoned being bullied by other resentful spirits.

But he was also confused in his heart.

How come a guy who calls himself the Demon King suddenly appears, and his combat power is so weak, only around level 80 in this world.

It's even worse than the ghost monsters I summoned.

Forget it, leave him alone.

Next, we need to distort this world and complete the mission of [Phase 1] as soon as possible.

......

The difficulty level of the Exfolia world is B.

Because the danger level of Demon Lord Artemaeus, who has not yet received the protection of the "Evil God", is only B-level, but Shen Yuan, as the Crimson Moon Thresh, is above S-level.

Therefore, the world's assessment was not accurate, so much so that the gods and even the underworld received wrong information.

It was only natural that the Demon King was killed instantly.

The reason for killing the Demon King was simply because this guy looked at him one more time.

(PS: In the original novel, before reincarnation, Shen Yong was reckless at first, but later, after learning his lesson, he became overly cautious.) 3.

Chapter 326: Brave? This guy has some tricks up his sleeve!

The world of "Exfolia".

——In the King’s Palace in the great country of Taman.

Human supremacy is prevalent in this country, and it is in absolute hostility with the Orc Country.

At some point, the great nation of Tamain sensed that the "Orcs" were beginning to stir. The Beast King Grantreo sent the Beast Demon Brunogeos to lead a group of Orcish soldiers to attack the nearby kingdoms. Even the recent "Villager Massacre on the Night of the Blood Moon (done by Thresh)" was suspected to be a revenge by the Orcs.

The forces in this world can be roughly understood as: the Demon King is at the head, and the Four Emperors are wreaking havoc.

The Demon King is dead, killed instantly by Thresh's Q skill.

After all, it is a B-level world. The strength of the Demon King is not strong, but he has power close to that of a demigod. At least he can easily destroy a country.

It's roughly on par with the average Old Deus from "No Game No Life," but not as powerful as the God of War, Artosh. If Artosh were a Demon King, his threat level would be "S" rank.

In the world view of "Cautious Hero", the S-class Demon King possesses the power to explode stars.

Therefore, it is normal to kill B-level minions in one hit, just like the toad in the jungle.

In addition to the "Beast King" Grantreo, the other four emperors include the leader of the Machine King Corps - "Machine King" Oxelio, and the "Grudge King" - Ceremonica.

The "Beast King" is the most powerful among them, so after the Demon King was killed, the Beast King became the strongest force.

In contrast, the great kingdom of Tamain knew that they could not withstand the attack of one of the Four Emperors. So after sensing the world crisis, the representatives of the kingdom believed that it was God's will for them to summon the "Hero".

Just like that, after a short meeting and discussion, the king gave the order to start the magic circle to summon heroes from another world.

"Oh oh oh!!"

"This powerful aura..."

"Did you make it!"

In the palace, bursts of exclamations were heard. After connecting with this plane, a "traveler" from Earth finally arrived.

"My dear hero, please save this world!!"

The excited and rising voices suddenly stopped after the light faded.

Then they seemed to be stunned, looking at the two people who appeared in the magic summoning circle.

"Hmm? Hero?"

Ryuuguuin Seiya turned his gaze, and then he realized that he was in a large magic circle in a palace. Dozens of magic chanters around him cast spells together, and a portal to another world opened behind him.

"Ah...huh? Two, two people?"

When these court magicians raised their heads, they were stunned and looked inside with surprise.

First up is Seiya Ryuuguuin. He is about 1.89 meters tall, with sharp eyes and a heroic face under his black hair. He is just wearing a modern T-shirt and jeans. The style of his outfit is a bit weird, but it is understandable.

But the key point is that there is a beautiful woman behind him.

She had short orange hair, a faint smile on her face, and a look full of confidence and arrogance. She glanced at the people around her, then spoke in a condescending manner.

"As a goddess, let me explain. First, I'm in a hurry, so I'll keep it short... Mortal, I sense that your world is facing an unprecedented crisis. Anyway, without further ado, the brave Ryuuguuin Seiya and I are here to save you. I hope you will obey all the commands of this goddess."

Aliadoya was too lazy to talk too much nonsense and appeared directly in front of the human.

It stands to reason that goddesses rarely take the initiative like this.

But now that she appeared, all humans, whether they were kings or court magicians, knelt down in excitement and shock, shouting the name of the goddess.

"Ah...should I kneel down too?!"

At this time, the princess of the great country of Taman, 'Tiana', a girl with shining golden hair, looked ahead with stars in her eyes. After realizing that the atmosphere was not right, she also knelt down like her father.

"? What's wrong with this group of people?"

Ryuuguuin Seiya tilted his head and looked at them in confusion.

Then he turned around and looked at the goddess Aliadoya, as if asking: Who are you?

"Human, you may call me Lady Ariadoa. Also, I am the goddess who summoned you."

Faced with a world of B-level difficulty, Ariadoya had no reason to waste time preparing the hero in advance, so she directly summoned the hero to the humans in the other world, and then began to introduce herself.

"Your next mission is to destroy this world's 'Demon King,' rescue those in distress, and prevent the world from falling into the hands of the evil god. To this end, I will assist you throughout your efforts. If you have any questions, please ask them all at once. I'll take this opportunity to explain everything to you."

Ariadoya looked at Seiya Ryuuguuin with a smile, and the latter immediately frowned.

"No. Take me home."

Seiya Ryuuguuin was very straightforward and refused directly.

"Ah... there's no going back."

Aliadoya's face darkened, her expression stiff, but she continued smiling as she said, "If we fail to complete the mission, neither you nor I can return to our original place. This is the rule of the divine realm. I hope you can cooperate. Secondly, aren't they also your fellow humans?"

"And... Ryuguuin Seiya, what's your reply? Wait... the portal is about to close, what are you going to do?"

While Ariadoa was muttering to herself, Ryuuguuin Seiya had already retreated to the vicinity of the portal.

It was obvious that he wanted to escape.

"Tsk."

Seiya Ryuuguuin didn't want to participate in this mission of saving the world. He just wanted to go home, so he ignored this veteran goddess with an "arrogant" attitude.

So what if you are a goddess? Is this the attitude to ask for help?

slip away.

Unfortunately, Ariadoa would not allow Seiya Ryuuguuin to escape like this, and directly closed the portal, leaving him empty-handed.

"Didn't I tell you? No one can leave until the mission is completed! And, I'm not kidding! I really am a goddess! Humans of Earth, please give me a little face!"

Aliadoya said anxiously.

Her attitude began to soften. Usually, a hero would feel flattered when meeting a goddess, but the guy in front of her had an expression on his face that said, "I don't know you, don't come near me."

"So, why are you looking for me to be the hero? It's so troublesome. Also, who are we going to fight? What abilities are you going to give me? Where are the enemies? How many are there? When are we going?"

Ryuuguuin Seiya seemed to realize that he couldn't go back, so he asked unhappily.

"this......"

Ariadoa turned to look at the king and his entourage. The king and the court magicians came to their senses and quickly looked up and spoke.

"Um...with all due respect, Mr. Brave, why don't you go to the Sage Village first to obtain information about the Demon King and the artifact...?"

The king asked weakly.

"No need for that kind of thing."

Ryuguuin Seiya pointed at the goddess Ariadoa beside him and said, "Isn't she still here? Can a goddess be weaker than a demon king? Stop talking nonsense and tell me where it is so I can finish the fight and go home soon."

"fight......"

Aliadoya didn't know how to complain. This was not a child's fight.

Secondly, being praised as being more powerful than the Demon King naturally made Ariadoa very happy, but she shook her head: "No, I'm good at sealing magic, and I can't directly participate in the battle. I suggest you find a few teammates to form a team and then go to defeat the Demon King."

After all, it is a B-level world. According to the previous process, Ariadoa is preparing to assign a four-person team to the brave Ryuuguuin Seiya: a shield warrior, a healer, a magician, and a swordsman.

The standard shield warrior and milk demon are complete.

"We can just build that kind of thing along the way."

Ryuguuin Seiya didn't refuse, but he didn't plan to go find the Demon King right away. Instead, he said, "First, find a nearby monster stronghold to level up. Then, gather intelligence along the way, break into the Demon King's castle, and take the Demon King's head."

Just like in the Dragon Quest game, although it is the first time for Seiya Ryuuguuin to be a hero, he has played many such games before, so he has unprecedented confidence.

However, there is still a gap between games and reality.

Besides, can you complete the game on one life, even on the easiest difficulty?

"All right!"

Ariadoya nodded helplessly. What Seiya Ryuuguuin said was not wrong.

No matter what preparations you make in the end, you must start by killing monsters and upgrading. It is most beneficial to raise the level of the hero in the shortest time.
