Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!

"Don’t forget, your enemy is not just me.

To defeat the Demon King, I’ve gathered quite a few companions.

Step by step, I’ve come this far.

Even if I don’t understand magic, there are those among my companions who can make up for this aspect.

They have unraveled your magic through various knowledge.

A scenario like ’base explosion, escaping in panic’ is better spared."

Yang Yu smiled proudly for his companions.

On this Demon King City, there are still many demons who haven’t evacuated, as well as adventurers fighting against the Evil Dragon.

If Lux really blew up the entire Demon King City, they would inevitably be involved, leading to rivers of blood.

Stopping Lux before the magic takes effect is the best result.

If it were Yang Yu at the beginning, he might indeed have let Bai Jin and the others not interfere too much, just to experience the base explosion scenario and see if he could achieve something to face an even more explosive battle afterward.

But now, it’s time to bring this battle to an end.

Regardless of the means, Yang Yu ultimately defeated Lux, destroying his plan.

After several attempts, Lux still couldn’t prevent the magic power from dispersing, the magical vortex in the sky turned into smoke and vanished without a trace.

Lux was indescribably dejected, his bitterness fully displayed on his face:

"Why?

Why...

Why! Why! Why!

Why did my painstakingly prepared plan for so long end up like this?

Why, with such a strong will, would I lose at your hands?

I clearly did everything the best I could, but why, in the end, didn’t I see the expected outcome.

...This is all too unfair.

Why, what gives you the right..."

Gripping his forehead, Lux kept roaring, and eventually, tears streamed down; he couldn’t accept this result.

His first half of life was like a puppet, trying to resist but facing such an outcome...

Behind Lux, Yongfang Chunlan carefully placed her hand on his head, comforting his wounded heart.

Yang Yu slowly replied:

"There’s no reason.

In the end, I won, that’s all.

In some dark-themed stories I know.

The villain’s decades of effort can be completely destroyed by the protagonist in an instant.

You ended up defeating the Demon King who had been preparing for a hundred years and became the new Demon King.

He prepared for so long, wasn’t he supposed to fail?"

Yang Yu wasn’t boastful; instead, he appeared somewhat helpless, wordlessly telling of this world’s cruelty.

It’s just, Yang Yu represents the cruel side.

Precisely because he recognized this cruelty, Yang Yu didn’t become complacent for thinking of a special plan to win, nor did he belittle his opponent.

Whether it’s the Demon King, Lux, or other enemies, they must have tried their best in their own ways.

They deserve respect.

The Devil King’s Power around Lux gradually materialized into blue smoke. As a Spiritual Body, he couldn’t freely use the Devil King’s Power; without a vessel, the Devil King’s Power gradually left Lux’s side and returned to where it belonged.

If no one pulled these Devil King’s Power back, it could take decades, even centuries, for this magic power to travel from this world to another.

Lux didn’t try to retain these Devil King’s Power.

He no longer had the leisure nor the need for it.

Before Yang Yu pierced his body, Lux used magic power to create a rough framework for himself, which allowed him to act.

Most Spiritual Bodies can’t exist without a medium, and Lux is no exception.

Having left the Holy Sword, left Vorquis’s body, Lux’s cheating-like magic to maintain his existence method will soon fail.

After the magic fails, Lux will be like most Spiritual Bodies, gradually diffusing, wandering randomly.

If during his soul wandering, no one attempts to summon his soul back, Lux will disperse eternally into the world like most Spiritual Bodies, becoming ordinary magic power.

Lux had already sacrificed his entire body for the Holy Sword to fully absorb his soul.

No one can use his remains to summon back his soul.

Disappearing from Yang Yu’s sight also means his complete end.

There was no fear in Lux’s eyes, as the Luka Teachings he believed in stated that Death is also part of life.

If no matter what he did, he couldn’t recover his life, then smilingly facing his Death would also be a choice.

"My time is running out.

I originally planned to have a grand finale, passing my memory to the next Demon King.

Telling him, no matter how difficult, he must eliminate the Goddess’ Apostle.

But now, it seems there’s no need for that.

The Devil King’s Power will ultimately end up in your hands.

If possible, I hope you can, before liberating the goddess, take a good look at the history recorded in the Nine-Life Cat Demon Kingdom.

I hope all of your promises to me are true.

If the goddess has truly deceived you, I hope you bear the responsibility to completely defeat her.

If you can use strategy to defeat me, I’m sure you have ways to deal with the goddess.

If after I dissipate, I still retain any awareness, I’ll watch your actions closely."

Lux’s attitude changed from before.

Though his heart was still unsettled, what would happen next wasn’t something he could control.

Facing Lux’s smile, Yang Yu also showed a sincere smile: "Even if you don’t say, I will act.

Thanks to the treasures you left behind, my companions and I made it here, to have a worthy match with you."

Lux sneered: "I don’t know if this counts as hoisting a stone to smash my own foot?

Companions...they are indeed very important.

I don’t regret creating those Underground Mazes.

About time."

Lux glanced behind at Yongfang Chunlan, his body becoming increasingly transparent.

Yang Yu hurriedly said: "I say, don’t rush to leave. Perhaps among the arriving adventure group, there might be Spiritual Ability Users, you can find ways to hold on.

If you’re worried, I can take you along to see the goddess..."

Before Yang Yu could finish, Lux refused:

"No need.

If you need to comfort someone, it’s not just me who needs it.

Instead, it should be to comfort the creators of this Magic World."

"Saying such words.

Actually, you just don’t want to see what you’ve held onto being broken by another possibility, right?"

Yang Yu’s words didn’t receive a reply, as Lux and Yongfang Chunlan beside him slowly vanished, along with the Devil King’s Power, disappearing to unknown places.

Yang Yu and Gao Yuanyi’s task panel finally displayed the words [Task Complete].

The final battle at the Demon King City concluded with Yang Yu and his companions achieving final victory.
