Since the brave warriors had dared to send themselves over as bait, the great demon king dared to directly take this bait.
He didn’t hesitate for a single second, coming out of the room like a fierce beast, who’d scented blood, as he spread his wings, flying low in the corridor and rushing directly towards the hacker, Universal Day!
“Waaaaaaah!” Universal Day’s scalp exploded instantly, and he screamed and ran, but he didn’t forget to input a command and turn into a ball.
Yes, a ball.
The ball rolled straight down the corridor and fled down the stairs without any pause at all, rolling and bouncing its way down the steps.
This way of escaping was actually faster than the great demon king with wings.
The audience was also confused, “Holy s.h.i.t, that works too??”
The paladin, Forgetting Worries was also confused at this time: Was Universal Day the black knight?
But, Forgetting Worries came back to his senses quickly and immediately turned to chase after the demon king.
His spear was actually able to delay Odin’s pursuit, but it wasn’t much help in the end.
Odin ignored the siege from the rest of the brave warriors, focusing on Universal Day the entire way and stabbing the ball back into Universal Day’s original form.
Universal Day didn’t try to continue escaping. He instead went all the way to the corridor where they’d set up traps earlier before finally being blocked by the great demon king!
The great demon king opened up his wings and smashed Universal Day against the wall, then took Forgetting Worries’s attack from behind and beat Universal Day to death in exchange for 30% of his own health.
Universal Day: Why me…? Died with everlasting regret.jpg
Public screen: “Hahahaha, what kind of enmity is there!? It’s like a blood feud as deep as the sea!”
“This is definitely revenge for the ‘domestic violence x5’ scene from earlier!!”
“Nothing else matters, and the war can be lost, but the banana must die, hahahahaha!”
After Universal Day had died, Odin turned around and flapped his wings––just now, Forgetting Worries had really been unhindered as he chased after him, and he’d stolen at least 15% of his health.
However, Odin still didn’t turn to kill Forgetting Worries. Instead, he chased after another brave knight.
Forgetting Worries rushed up to save the other party, but he hadn’t expected that the other party had already judged based on the situation that Forgetting Worries once again wouldn’t die! The demon king had already pa.s.sed over him three times. Universal Day was dead, so Forgetting Worries had to be the dark knight!
He then spared no effort to avoid getting close to Forgetting Worries!
But, he turned around and was immediately caught by the demon king, who’d been waiting for the rabbit to send itself over.
There was a profound smile at the corners of the demon king’s mouth as he tossed him up in mid-air. Forgetting Worries’s ‘rescue’ was useless as his teammate turned into a white streak of light.
The demon king still had a little over 20% of his health left. There were two brave knights still remaining: A trap master and the paladin, Forgetting Worries.
The trap master’s brain was full of k2018;It’s over, it’s over, I’m the only one left’ as he ran down the corridor, clapping like crazy as he ran!
“Crack, clap, clap, clap!”
The traps along the way were all activated one after another, forming a spectacular fireworks effect in the corridor.
Forgetting Worries roared sadly, “I’m not the black knight!!! We’ve all been tricked, neither me nor Universal Day are the black knight!!!”
No matter whether he was the black knight or not, the trap master was already unable to turn back. He ran all the way to the end of the corridor and prepared to fight back.
The demon king chased after him the whole way and was gradually slowed down by the traps, finally coming to a frozen stop at the end of the corridor.
The trap master and Forgetting Worries were both ready to rush up and kill the demon king, who was at critical health, but unexpectedly, the demon king used a dispelling skill on himself––
Dispel was a skill that belonged to the priest cla.s.s. It could remove certain negative states and control effects. The ice trap itself wasn’t a full control spell, so the effect disappeared completely after two dispels.
Forgetting Worries only had enough time to rush up and hit him twice before he was beaten down by the frenzied demon king’s wings. He did three and a half full rotations in the air and felt that his tears were spreading out through the air as they spilled: G.o.dd.a.m.nit!! If you have the ability, then kill me directly!! What do you mean by sending me flying every time!!?!
By the time he got back onto his feet, he saw that his last teammate had been captured by the demon king and had disappeared down the other end of the corridor.
There was no need to ask; he must be dead.
The demon king still had a little under 20% of his health, and there was a distinct slow state on his body. The brave warriors saw that there was a chance––this chance was all on Forgetting Worries, who was their last hope!
Forgetting Worries hefted his gun and was full of rage and righteous indignation as he rushed over.
There was a balcony at the end of the corridor of the castle. Outside the balcony was a cliff, and it was dozens of meters high. One could see an endless horizon from the balcony…
Forgetting Worries rushed out onto the balcony against the storm. Unexpectedly, the figure that he had aimed at wasn’t the demon king but rather just a cloak that fluttered in the wind. He flew out in a flash––the heavy rain and gloomy skies had affected his vision.
Forgetting Worries’s heart sank, and he turned around abruptly!
But, the real Odin had already jumped down from the balcony entrance, Song of Triumph calling out instantaneously and blocking Forgetting Worries’s holy spear.
If the two players had been balanced normally, there would probably be another wonderful one-on-one fight. Unfortunately, at this time, the great demon king’s stats were over five times that of Forgetting Worries’s. Forgetting Worries only felt a huge force slam into his hand, sending a shock all the way up his arm.
Odin was very calm as he took Forgetting Worries’s next attack. He used his higher volume of health to bully the other party, grabbing the tip of the gun and s.n.a.t.c.hing it away from Forgetting Worries just to toss it down the cliff.
Forgetting Worries: “……”
Public screen: “Alas, it’s over. The last seedling of hope… is gone.”
The rain was getting lighter now, but it was still blowing on the balcony.
The demon king opened up his pair of wings and completely cut off any possibility of escape from any angle.
Forgetting Worries looked at Odin.
Odin looked at Forgetting Worries.
Forgetting Worries looked at Odin and swallowed his saliva, then looked back behind him––towards the abyss where he would shatter to pieces if he fell.
His movements caused a piece of broken stone to fall into the darkness.
Forgetting Worries turned his head back and shivered a little as he shook his head. His eyes were full of helplessness and extreme entreaty: Can I not jump?
Odin looked at Forgetting Worries and flapped his wings: Do you want to jump on your own, or do you want me to slap you with my wings a fourth time?
Forgetting Worries looked at Odin.
Odin looked at Forgetting Worries and raised his chin proudly, giving an ultimatum.
……
They were both silent, but it left Forgetting Worries in tears.
A few seconds later, Forgetting Worries adjusted his breathing, stood straight, turned around, and tremblingly took the last step.
Wooosh––bang.
Forgetting Worries, down.
The audience was unsympathetic. They laughed themselves silly, and someone even left messages, “Hahaha, how pitiful! Watching it almost made me hard!”
After the entertainment match ended, n.o.body cared who had won or lost. However, it was a fact that the great demon king had won as one against many once again.
Once again, everyone had experienced the crushing ability of the demon king––when others played this demon king mode, it was the ten brave warriors beating up the demon king; when Odin played the demon king mode, it was one demon king chasing and killing all the brave warriors. And, these brave warriors weren’t ordinary brave worries but professional-level experts.
The audience expressed: “Trembling and quivering, there’s no way to really imagine what level Odin’s skill is really at.”
“I always felt that if Odin went to play PVE, there wouldn’t be any instance that would be hard for him…”
“Who exactly is the boss when Odin fights against the boss?”
“This reminds me of Representative-kun again! Five Representative-kuns scared away the great demon king, Odin, while one great demon king, Odin killed ten brave warriors… Then, the question now is: Who exactly was the black knight?”
“d.a.m.n, I was caught off guard, completely caught by surprise, and too lazy to defend… This question is the century-old question.”
The audience’s conversation topic had already gone completely off track while on the other side, the contestants in the stands were also muttering amongst themselves:
––Who the h.e.l.l was the black knight?
Everyone looked at each other, then looked over at the great demon king, Odin, who was standing to the side.
Odin was indifferent and showed no intention of answering their questions at all.
It was Forgetting Worries who spoke first, “So, we’ve all been tricked. I was not the black knight. Why did you all suspect me?”
The captain: “Universal Day wasn’t either… So, who exactly was it?”
The scene was awkwardly silent for a moment, then someone raised their hand.
Male commentator: “I… I was.”
Everyone: “…………”
For a moment, the brave warriors’ expressions turned fierce, scaring the male commentator into taking two steps back, hiding subconsciously behind Odin.
Odin was expressionless as he blocked the brave warriors’ gazes.
The captain called out to speak to the male commentator across this cold iceberg, “If I remember correctly, you were the second to die?!!”
The male commentator spoke weakly, “Yes. I also wanted to play a role, but who could’ve thought that the great demon king would be so cold-blooded, ruthless, and unreasonable? He came up and killed me right away…”
Forgetting Worries: “You had even shouted that you weren’t the black knight before you died.”
“I had also wanted to put on an act! Everything was ready for the stage. I was planning to fool you guys!” The male commentator was aggrieved too. “Yet as a result, the demon king covered my mouth and killed me!!!”
A moment later, Forgetting Worries was under a huge amount of pressure as he asked Odin, “You… Why did you even kill your own people? Or, did you not know that he was the black knight?”
Odin held out his finger and pointed at Forgetting Worries, then unexpectedly opened his mouth and explained, “You, your threat level is relatively high. There’s also your commander, who also needed to be dealt with first. However, the problem was that you’re relatively hard to deal with.”
Forgetting Worries and the Captain had been praised as being ‘relatively hard to deal with’ and actually felt a little flattered. Their professions were really ones that restrained a.s.sa.s.sins.
Odin then said, “If you can’t be killed in one go, then it’s better to split you up internally. The real black knight being around is a hidden danger, so it’s better to have the threat of the black knight play a role after his death.”
Male commentator: “……” Oh! It seemed like I was also a little useful?
Forgetting Worries sighed and covered his face, “……” As expected, he didn’t kill me on purpose, making it so that even jumping into the Yellow River wouldn’t be enough to wash my reputation clean… However, why do I still feel very happy?
––Of course, it was because Odin had praised him to his face. He was happy enough to die!
Everyone was very happy. The ones who remained until the end felt smart and sensitive; the ones who’d died early felt like they’d been treated with special attention by the great demon king, and they all had a sense of excitement thinking that they were skilled and valued by a big personage.
The audience watched the stage of contestants, who were all full of joy, and couldn’t help thinking, “So, Odin set up the trap right from the start and watched them jump in like dumplings?”
“Except for the domestic violence scene created by Universal Day that had surprised the demon king, he had been basically following his own script the whole time? Stunned.jpg!”
“I’ve never been able to feel the great demon king’s level of strategy + acting + strength at this level! The great demon king, Odin’s real stage should be in a 1vN battleground. Please come visit our PVE stage!”
“What’s more terrible is that they didn’t get angry after the game and were even coaxed by the demon king? Trembling and shivering!”
“… Why don’t you try looking at Odin’s face and see if you can get angry?”
“……” That made sense. There was nothing that could be said to that.
