Xingtie, started with a guitar, and made a living by singing

This strength undoubtedly made the Demon King extremely arrogant.

He roared to the sky, and the pressure from his roar made almost all the monsters present tremble.

The rift inside the abyss cave also continuously spewed out creatures, which continuously joined the demon king's army. Under such a grand scene, even March 7 could not maintain that carefree mentality.

The enemy in front of us is very strong, at least at the same level as the Doommon that everyone has fought in the past.

Although the Demon King is often persecuted and even his demon generals look down on him, but from the perspective of the rules.

The Demon King is indeed a demon leader who can pose a great threat to the entire world, but he was often resurrected incompletely in the past, so he was killed by the hero like a mowing down of miscellaneous soldiers ten years ago.

But now, no one dares to underestimate Him anymore.

In order to vent his pent-up resentment, he quickly attacked everyone, and his huge body over a hundred meters long rushed down with great oppressive force.

Even with March 7's shield, no one had the intention of resisting head-on. They quickly dispersed and entered a tug-of-war phase.

The Demon King did not land on the ground. He knew very well where his advantages lay. In the absence of hand-to-hand combat conditions, it would be foolish to abandon his high-altitude advantage. So after a round of attack failed, he quickly raised his position and turned to the sky, ready to use thunder magic to kill the little ants below.

But, unfortunately——

The pioneers were not without anti-aircraft means. Ji Zi's railgun shot down the Demon King in just one blow.

Although it was still far from causing damage, most of the Demon King's gargoyle wings were actually destroyed, which gave the melee units Dan Heng, Xing, and Silver Branch Knight room to play.

The three have their own strengths. Dan Heng is responsible for fighting with the Demon King, Xing focuses on destroying parts, and the Silver Branch Knight is the main output.

They attacked randomly and caught the Demon King off guard, but he was not fighting alone after all. The Demon King's army soon surged like a tide, and it was only March Seven and Ji Zi who were able to hold them off temporarily.

March Seventh is an archer. Even with the blessing of the gods, he can kill one monster with one arrow, but he cannot withstand the large number of monsters.

She could only activate the Six Phases of Ice to freeze the monster tide, and then let Ji Zi's mechanical device be responsible for harvesting and cleaning up the mess.

The two of them had a difficult time handling it, but after the second railgun was fully charged, they completely eliminated a large number of miscellaneous soldiers with this one shot.

The battle on the Demon King's side has officially entered the second stage.

The horn mask covering the face split open, exposing the flesh and blood behind it, and the scales that were knocked off the earth dragon's body quickly fell off, and the flesh and blood evaporated, forming a half-bone and half-muscle armor. Even the gargoyle wings on the back split into four.

He changed his previous posture of standing on all fours and instead stood on two feet. The blood claws on both sides caused imaginary fluctuations just by brushing across the space.

"Feel the pain..."

His mind had been mostly eroded by the star core at this moment. He began to attack indiscriminately while muttering incomprehensible words.

A large number of monsters affected by the attack fled in all directions. Dan Heng and the Silver Branch Knight did not intend to take the attack head-on. Only Xing relied on his stubbornness and went alone to face the Demon King, who was hundreds of times smaller than him.

As expected, he was slapped away, the bat slipped out of his hand, and he opened his mouth and closed his eyes.

This made March Seven, who was looking down below, very anxious. However, just like the battle with Doommon in the past was being repeated, a line of sight followed the hole in the curtain that Jiko had pierced and descended here.

Logically speaking, the curtains set up by the gods weren't that fragile, but after Wendy, the expert negotiator, formed alliances with each one, they didn't bother to repair them. Instead, they took the initiative to let go of that spot, and only for a moment.

This planet, which had been forgotten for who knows how long, finally welcomed a glimpse of the Star God as promised in Elio's script.

Chapter 176: The Demon King, it seems!

When being knocked out, Xing lost consciousness briefly, but after opening his eyes, he found himself in outer space.

The invisible road of destiny stretches out beneath your feet, with a faint light flickering at its end.

This was not her first time here, so she quickly calmed down after the panic.

Nanook had glanced at her the last time he came here, who could it be this time?

Xing could only move forward alone until he met a strange chess piece.

It was a girl holding a sword, and her dress gave people the feeling of a brave warrior.

"..."

If I'm not mistaken, this should be the Brave Chess that those gods lost, but why is it here?

Xing didn't understand, but that didn't stop her from bringing the chess piece with her.

Every time she reaches a certain node, the Brave Chess will give her some of the memories about the previous generation of heroes.

There is a scene where a monster is killed by a sword, and there is a scene where a hasty march arrives at the city to provide support, only to find that the monsters have already slaughtered all the people.

And... the scene where the distant, high and mighty gods, with blurry faces, gave her oracles.

A brave person has the power to choose. She continues to believe in her own good fortune, in her determination to forge a new future and end the endless cycle of reincarnation.

Just, why?

She was just a village girl before she became a hero.

He knows nothing, and even his companions were assigned by God. Ever since he mastered the holy sword, he has been running around to save others.

In the end, even after she destroyed the Demon King, she was unable to fulfill her wish and return to her hometown.

"You, want me to help you with something?"

Xing asked the brave chess piece.

"Defeat... the Demon King... and end the war..."

Only such intermittent thoughts can be transmitted within the chess piece.

"Is this your own idea, or is it a mission imposed by the gods?"

As the story goes, where there is a Demon King, there will be a hero.

The Demon King destroys the world, while the Hero saves it. The two are inherently opposed, and there is no possibility of reconciliation.

"I don't know... but I can't just sit there and do nothing..."

The will of the brave is ignorant and pure.

Xing didn't know why she was so confident. She had been drifting in the universe for who knows how long, but she still hadn't forgotten to protect it.

She could feel in the game of Brave Chess that during the countless years in the past, she was only accompanied by endless loneliness and despair.

How did she keep her will unwavering in the face of such torture of being "brokenly sworn" by the gods and the desperate situation of witnessing the home she wanted to protect gradually withering away under the influence of the star core?

Perhaps he heard her inner voice, or perhaps it was because the road of destiny was about to reach the final node.

The game of Brave Chess emits a warm glow, like a little sun.

"—Because I am a hero."

Afterwards, the holy sword belonging to the brave appeared in front of Xing.

"Please hold me and save the world."

Xing did not ask why it was him, or why not his companions.

Just like since she landed on this planet, at first glance she seemed to be just passively following everyone's pace, but she had never missed a single battle.

More silent than Danheng, more passionate than March 7, and more hardworking than Wendy.

She did everything she could within her ability.

Because of this, the person who will appear here and meet the hero must be Xing. She reached out and touched the amber-like light.

At that moment, a gaze filled with a hint of passion and approval fell on her.

The air was filled with the warmth of the forge, mixed with the smell of lime, and the majestic Amber King offered His protection.

The holy sword was thus sublimated, with star-like patterns on it, luxurious and holy.

"Great... He recognized you..."

Such a joyful message was faintly conveyed from the holy sword.

at the same time.

At the moment when the Demon King shot out the star, a ray of blazing fire lotus like starlight remained between his claws.

"——Brave!"

That power would never be forgotten even if He were to be crushed to ashes a hundred times.

Almost the next moment after sensing the hero's aura, the Demon King entered a state of rage. The skeleton surrounding his body further mutated, and even the flesh and blood face under the mask was burned out at this moment, leaving only the coldness and nothingness like the starry sky.

He spread his bat wings that covered the sky and moved at such a high speed that even his afterimage could not be caught. Before the gray-haired girl landed on the ground, he appeared right above her and smashed down with both arms like a hammer.

Accompanied by a loud "bang!", a figure flew out backwards.

But it wasn't a star. It was the Demon King. His face, like the starry sky, was expressionless, but anyone could sense the astonishment in it—

With a hiss, blood spurted out from the broken arms like a torrent.

It was a smooth and flat incision, cut right at the elbow.

The person who did all this simply clasped the holy sword in his hands, his messy grey hair blown away by the torrent of light, and a hint of seriousness on his face, which had always been expressionless in the past.

"——Backup hidden energy activated."

Two huge claws lay across its feet, and the star-like flames devoured them in an instant, leaving not even a trace of embers.

"Wow, has even Xing activated his hidden power?!"

March 7th covered her mouth in surprise, very shocked.

"It seems that she has gained the attention of the Star God again."

Ji Zi is better than her. After all, she is knowledgeable and has dealings with the Black Tower. She knows more about the Star God than ordinary people.

However, she still subconsciously looked towards the Silver Branch Knight, and he also noticed it at this moment.

There was also a hint of surprise on his face, but it quickly turned into genuine joy.

He felt sincerely honored to witness such a "fateful" moment.

Whether it was the man wielding the sword or the holy sword, both contained souls as resilient and shining as stars.

Only Dan Heng came to Xing silently and formed a two-person team with her to face the Demon King together.

After that extremely brief moment of astonishment, the broken ends of the Demon King's arms quickly squirmed, and then claws shaped like the cold starry sky stretched out again.

At a speed far exceeding that of just now, almost like teleportation, it appeared before the two of them. A blood-red lightning snake as thick as a tree branch crossed its claws and gathered together.

There is no doubt that once its violent energy fluctuations are unleashed, the entire battlefield will be transformed into a bright red scorched earth.

Xing held her breath and concentrated. Although she had never used a greatsword before, she felt as if she had wielded it countless times. It was a feeling of her mind blending with the holy sword.

She aimed at the weakest point of energy, and the holy sword broke through the Demon King's defense and slashed towards his neck.

Dan Heng also lowered his eyes slightly, and while avoiding the first wave of attacks, he took advantage of the situation to stir up the clouds. The dual colors of blue mist and red were stirred from behind the tip of the gun. The airflow stirred his sleeves and made a rustling sound, and the target was directly aimed at the heart of the Demon King.

If this combined attack had been carried out by the Troll King we had fought before, he would probably not even be able to react and would be beheaded instantly and his heart would be destroyed.

However, the Demon King abruptly cut off the thunder magic he was about to release, and used his arms to block it, while his star-like claws grabbed two weapons each.

Xing and Danheng looked at each other and then nodded at the same time.

A blazing lotus of fire ignited on the holy sword and quickly invaded along the arm of the Demon King, while Dan Heng stirred the cloud in time and then pulled it out.

The Demon King immediately leaned back to avoid the tip of the Cloud-Striking Spear. At the same time, the bones on his ribs extended like his upper body, wrapping around his left and right arms to form a huge bone blade.

He spun his body like a top, creating a small hurricane on the spot. He just forced the two people back, but his eyes flashed, and a large piece of ice crystals shot out from behind him.

Even Mimiya took the time to shoot a few tree bud arrows at her, looking weak and pitiful.

If it was the original Demon King, he might have paid some attention to it, but now that he has been strengthened by the star core.

He didn't even bother to look, but simply raised his arms and held the bone blades in front of him like a shield. Then, the sound of "bang bang!" continued to pierce his ears.

The surface of its bone blade was also covered with layers of frost, and the tree bud arrows took root and quickly formed into huge carnivorous plants that attempted to devour it whole.

However, the bone blade only needed one twist to cut the entire plant in half.

Although the attack of Sanyueqi and Mimiya only delayed for a while, it also successfully bought time for Xing and Danheng to attack again.

“Po Jun——!”

By activating the light waves on the holy sword through Xing, the Demon King was distracted by it, while Dan Heng launched an attack in his blind spot.

"It's now!"

The former cut across the waist, while the latter launched a surprise attack on the weak parts, with swift and sharp attacks.
