Chapter 912 The first opponent

The adventurers were obviously very excited to be able to break through the maze. After a short rest and gathering, they all set off and headed towards the Demon King's City.

 “Thank you so much, Iron Warrior.”

Walking beside Duanmuhuai was a dwarf warrior and the president of the Adventurers Association in the dungeon. The commission to break through the maze was given by him. Originally, the dwarf warriors had been mentally prepared to wait for hundreds of years, but they did not expect that one day they would actually be able to break through.

“Speaking of which, is this really good? It’s not like there are still two months until the snow melts, so it would be too hasty to set off now.”

 “You don’t know, Iron Warrior.”

 Hearing Duanmuhuai's question, the dwarf warrior also became emotional.

"In fact, the Demon King has figured out our rules a long time ago. Indeed, it is relatively easy for us to act during the snow melting period. But because of this, the Demon King will always disperse the scattered areas before the snow melting period. The Demon King’s armies from all over the place are summoned back.”

 “Is this kid so afraid of death?”

I have to say that Duanmu Huai was quite surprised when he heard this.

"After all, demons can fly. For us, the long distance is nothing to the demons. So every time during the snow melting period, when the adventurers arrive at the Demon King's City after all the hard work, they wait. What is there is the demon king's army ready to go. To be honest, it is definitely not easy to win in this situation."

Of course.

 “But this time it’s different.”

As he spoke, the dwarf warrior tightened his grip on the battle ax in his hand.

"This time it has not yet reached the snow melting stage, which means that the Demon King will not summon the Demon King's army to come back to deal with it. In this way, we have a high chance of defeating the Demon King! Although there are only one hundred and fifty adventurers here, ...For us, this is the best opportunity!”

indeed.

Duanmuhuai nodded silently and glanced at the adventurers behind him. These people were able to come to the North, and their strength was unquestionable. It might be exaggerated to say that one horse can defeat a thousand, but it should be easy to kill a hundred people. After all, this is to defeat the Demon King, the being who has created the most profound difficulties for mankind in this world. Without enough courage, wisdom and strength, it will be in vain.

 Of course, the most important thing is...

 “Magic is so easy to use.”

Looking at the old magician walking in front, Duanmuhuai sighed silently, you know, this is the north, it is snowing all the time, and the snow on this road has almost reached the shoulders of ordinary people.

 The reason why they were able to move forward so quickly was all because of the magic that the old magician in front of them had at the bottom of the box—the magic that could blow away the snow.

　　Hey, when I was in school, I wanted to have this magic. It was a waste of time.

Looking at the clean ground under his feet, Duanmuhuai wanted to cry.

 This is the first time I have seen such practical magic, and Andu doesn’t know how to do it.

 “But why do those little devils also come?”

Duanmu Huai frowned and looked behind him. In addition to the adventurers, he could also see some young people in their teens. Judging from their immature skills, this group of newcomers was just novices.

 Is this going to be used as cannon fodder?

“After all, it is everyone’s dream to defeat the Demon King. Since they are willing to try, let them follow.”

 The dwarf warrior seemed very calm.

"One more person sometimes means more strength. Of course, compared to other adventurers, these brats may be less experienced, but at least they have enough courage to fight the Demon King's army - after all, at this time, we I no longer have the qualifications to be picky.”

 “Okay… maybe that’s right.”

Shrugging his shoulders, Duanmuhuai raised his head again and looked at the Demon King's City not far away. Of course, looking at the mountain is like running to death. It's like when you look at the mountain that seems to be right in front of you, but when you walk towards it you find that it is still far away from you. Although at the moment it seems that as long as you climb over another mountain, you can reach the Demon King's City.

 But in fact, according to the auspicious detection, this distance is not short.

Moreover, the closer they get to the Demon King's City, the more danger there is. From the time they set out until now, they have encountered many attacks from monsters, and even attacks from dragons. Of course, in front of these battle-hardened adventurers, these monsters themselves did not pose much of a threat. But there are also some people who are unlucky enough to be killed by these monsters.

Not to mention that in order to reach the Demon King's City as quickly as possible, the entire team of adventurers is now almost speeding up on a forced march...

 “Wait, things have changed!”

However, at this moment, Fulian, who was not far behind, suddenly shouted.

“I noticed a powerful magic reaction, it’s not a monster, it’s... no, it’s so fast, be careful!”

Before Fulilian could finish her words, a huge man with long horns appeared in front of them. He clenched his fist and punched Duanmu Huai who had no time to dodge. Chest.

 “Boom————!”

A huge wave of air suddenly erupted, blowing all the surrounding adventurers away. Some even screamed and fell off the cliff. Even the dwarf warrior standing next to Duanmuhuai was blown away by this powerful blow. It flew out and disappeared into the crowd like a thrown baseball.

Only Duanmu Huai still stood where he was, while Zhen Jiling and Ojisi were also sitting firmly on his shoulders, as if they were not affected at all.

 Then Duanmuhuai lowered his head, looked at the opponent's fist hitting his chest, and then raised his head. “That’s it? You haven’t eaten?”

"really interesting."

Facing his own blow being blocked, the demon on the opposite side didn't seem to care. On the contrary, he showed an interested gaze and stepped back again to distance himself from Duanmu Huai.

“I didn’t expect to meet a warrior like you. It seems that I have something to play with this time.”

As he spoke, the demon man stared at Duanmuhuai.

"I am the great demon Levale, and I am also a warrior. According to human classification of demons, I should be considered a 'general'. But to a warrior, these titles are meaningless. Since you can If you catch my blow, you have already demonstrated your ability, so please sign up, warrior."

 “What? Levale?!”

　　Hearing the other party’s self-reported name, the adventurers behind them couldn’t help but be surprised.

“He is one of the Seven Bengxians, the blood-stained army **** Levale?”

To adventurers, the name of the Seven Bengxians is naturally familiar, especially the blood-stained army **** Leviale, who is a well-known fighting madman among the demons. No matter where there is fighting, he will be there. He destroyed countless human towns and earned the title of Blood-Stained War God with his extremely powerful fighting power.

Despite the commotion, these adventurers did not retreat. On the contrary, dozens of adventurers dressed as warriors soon raised their weapons and faced the demons in front of them. Behind them, monks and magicians also Ready for battle.

For a moment, the atmosphere became extremely tight and tense. Although every adventurer was prepared to die in the process of defeating the Demon King, they suddenly encountered one of the Seven Bengxians without warning. It was indeed beyond their expectations.

But facing these adventurers, Levale didn't care. He just stared at Duanmuhuai with a confident smile.

"To be honest, I originally came here just to see what was going on with the previous anomaly. I didn't expect to meet so many adventurers - you finally broke through the maze? This is really unexpected. Outside."

"What?!"

Hearing what Levale said, almost most of the adventurers were shocked. You must know that the reason why they hurried on was to avoid letting the demons guess where they came from. But I didn't expect that the other party actually knew their origins a long time ago?

 Sure enough.

 Compared to other adventurers, Duanmu Huai sneered. In fact, he had already guessed that there was something wrong here. Just like what Duanmu Huai said to the brave team before, it is said that this maze is clearly used to resist the invasion of demons, but why is there a demon guard placed at the end of the maze?

Who is this maze guarding against?

In addition, when Fulilian said that the water mirror demon once appeared in the heroic legend of Sage Avici, Duanmuhuai almost guessed what was going on.

the reason is simple.

 Because the so-called Demon King is actually the sage Avici.

The omniscient and omnipotent sage in myths and legends was, after all, afraid of death, and made a contract with the subspace to become a fallen heretic of the Demon King.

 “Come and name yourself, warrior.”

Livale didn't care at all about the reactions of the adventurers around him. He just stared at Duanmuhuai with a fanatical smile on his face.

“Be proud, the person standing in front of you is the strongest warrior among the demons.”

Facing the gaze of everyone, Duanmuhuai snorted softly.

“The strongest warrior of the Demon Clan? Qibeng Xian? How dare you, a waste like you, bark in front of me? The same goes for Aura before. Do the Demon Clan always have arrogant genes?”

 “Hiss……!”

Hearing Duanmuhuai's even more arrogant answer, everyone gasped, but Leviale smiled slightly.

"Oh, Aura, speaking of which, Aura is indeed dead. Was it you who killed her? That would be more interesting..."

As he spoke, Levi stretched out his hand, and soon, a warhammer appeared in Levi's hand.

"Since you are the one who can kill Aura, you are obviously qualified to fight me..."

 “But you are not qualified to fight with me.”

Duanmu Huai just held his arms and stared coldly at the demon in front of him.

 “In fact, you are dead.”

 “What are you talking about……”

Levale didn't finish what he said, because the next moment, his head exploded with a "pop" sound, and then the tall body of the headless demon shook back and forth for a moment, and then fell heavily to the snow and turned into ashes. For pieces of black shadow gradually disintegrate and disappear.

“The Qibengxian is only of this level.”

 It was only then that Duanmuhuai looked back.

“In my imagination, smashing your head in is no harder than smashing a watermelon, idiot.”

 Then he said coldly.
