Chapter 357: Chapter 255: Super Rare Trait [Demon King]! Demigod Battle

"Tch!"

Vivian caught Su Xuan’s gaze and immediately put on an angry expression.

No matter how much time had passed, she could never forget the psychological torment Su Xuan had once put her through, so she naturally held no goodwill toward him.

Su Xuan, however, paid Vivian’s hostility no mind, as his gaze was fixed on a man who had just arrived.

The man was tall, over two meters in height, and dressed in lavish noble attire. On his head sat a black crown that shimmered with a strange light.

A peculiar scar on his square, stern face was especially conspicuous. It didn’t seem to be a mark left by battle, but rather... a symbol?

’Is that Prince Tyres?’ Su Xuan recognized the man’s identity at a glance.

In the entire Star Kingdom, Tyres’s combat prowess was second only to the Demigod Level Star Knight, and he himself was just one step away from the Demigod realm.

"His aura is terrifying..."

Shen Siqi wore a frightened expression upon seeing Prince Tyres.

The surrounding Players also revealed wary expressions. Prince Tyres’s fierce appearance and the terrifying aura he exuded filled them with fear.

For Su Xuan, however, Prince Tyres didn’t have much of an impact, aside from a strange feeling of revulsion welling up inside him.

"Hm?"

Suddenly, Prince Tyres’s gaze fell upon Su Xuan. Though it was only for a brief moment, Su Xuan could clearly feel an intense, oppressive force.

He grew inwardly vigilant. ’Why would Prince Tyres notice me?’

’Could he have already figured out that I was the one who abducted Viora? Or that I killed one of his Star Knights?’

But after just a single glance, Prince Tyres withdrew his gaze and continued toward the high platform where Vivian stood.

"Uncle Tyres." Vivian greeted him as he approached. While her face held the respect befitting a junior, her cold eyes betrayed obvious hostility.

"Hmph."

Prince Tyres only grunted coldly in response before turning to stand with a group of royal nobles. His expression remained stern and indifferent, as if he cared nothing for his surroundings.

Once all the important figures had arrived, Princess Vivian cast her gaze over the sea of people below.

She cast a spell, allowing her voice to clearly reach the ears of every single person. "Welcome, everyone, to the Star Kingdom. You are here to witness this final moment..."

After a lengthy speech, she finally arrived at the main event.

A smile graced Princess Vivian’s lips as she announced loudly, "And now, please welcome our Star Knight—Arimos!"

As her voice faded, a man encased head-to-toe in armor slowly emerged from the depths of the Imperial Palace.

His appearance immediately captured everyone’s attention, and countless eyes turned to him.

The man’s build wasn’t imposing; in fact, he seemed rather slight, standing only about 1.6 meters tall. The armor he wore wasn’t ornate, either—it was just an ordinary set of Law Enforcement Knight armor, covered in so many scars that it looked as though it might shatter at any moment.

Furthermore, in sharp contrast to the fierce and intimidating aura of Prince Tyres, this Star Knight’s presence felt remarkably gentle and world-weary.

If Prince Tyres was a towering mountain, then this Star Knight was a deep and unfathomable ocean, its bottom impossible to glimpse.

Everyone present was stunned by the Star Knight’s profound power; only a handful of individuals remained calm and composed.

"He looks so strong!"

"Man, it would be so great if my Guild had a Demigod."

"You’re daydreaming. Even A-Level Guilds don’t have a Demigod!"

"It’s still too soon. We probably won’t see a Demigod Level powerhouse emerge from the Adventurer’s Guilds for another year or two."

"What, are those Demigods bored? You think they’d join a Guild just for kicks?"

"..."

The Players chattered excitedly, their curiosity and enthusiasm for the Demigod Level Star Knight before them reaching a fever pitch.

Meanwhile, the envoys from various nations all, without exception, showed deep reverence upon witnessing this Demigod Level powerhouse.

In their respective kingdoms, every Demigod was a pivotal figure—not only a symbol of national prosperity and stability, but also an absolute power that struck fear into the hearts of other nations.

"There’s something wrong with his aura."

Lucia whispered the reminder in Su Xuan’s ear.

Su Xuan immediately grew alert and asked, "What is it?"

Lucia paused for a moment, then used Spiritual Magic to send her voice to Su Xuan. "I can sense it... his Fire of Life is about to go out. I’m afraid he doesn’t have much time left."

"?"

Upon hearing Lucia’s words, Su Xuan’s expression turned grim. His gaze shifted back to the Demigod Level Star Knight.

If a Demigod’s life was coming to an end, it would undoubtedly mean that the nation he protected would face decline—perhaps even utter destruction.

However, it seemed Lucia was the only one present who had noticed something was amiss with the Star Knight.

Just then, Princess Vivian’s voice rang out once more.

"In the name of the Star~ I beseech your power!"

She raised her hand and said earnestly, "We implore you to act and defeat the great enemy from the Abyss!"

"As you command."

The Star Knight gave a simple reply, and his entire body began to shimmer with an orange-red magical aura.

He then soared into the air, drew the sword from his waist, and swung it nonchalantly toward the sky.

The next second, the sky itself seemed to be torn asunder by the blow. A veil was pulled back, revealing the scene hidden behind it.

A Demon Cave a hundred meters tall appeared before everyone’s eyes. It was surrounded by a thick, dark fog, in which flashes of blue lightning occasionally arced, giving it a sinister air.

The sight plunged the crowd into an immediate silence, their breathing growing ragged.

They had never imagined that the final Demon Cave would appear in the skies above the Star Kingdom’s Royal City.

Strangely, however, the inside of the Demon Cave was empty. There was no sign of any Demons.

There was only a blue throne, sitting silently and emitting a profound blue glow.

"Where’s the Demon King?"

"Why can’t I see him?"

"Did he hear Knight Arimos was coming and get so scared he ran back to the Abyss?"

"Hahaha! That makes sense!"

"..."

The crowd’s discussion was a mixture of mockery and confusion at the unexpectedly empty Demon Cave.

However, amidst the clamor, the throne deep within the Demon Cave suddenly erupted with dazzling blue lightning. As if alive, the bolts of the Thunder Element rapidly converged and intertwined, coalescing in an instant into the form of a massive Demon.

Its skin was a deep, spectral blue, and two curved horns jutted from its head. Its face was twisted and ferocious—to say it had sharp teeth and fangs was an understatement of its terrifying visage, enough to make anyone shrink back in fear!

And the very moment the Demon King appeared, information about it popped up in Su Xuan’s vision:
