63: Chapter 63 Slaying the Demon King

"You walked out of the border, and the next day you saw the so-called Demon Race."

"A race similar to those in Western fantasy novels."

"White skeletons with eerie green ghost fire burning in their eye sockets, carrying rusty iron swords and bone spears, stepping with silent footsteps, like a moving graveyard under the moonlight."

"Looking at them, you couldn't help but think of a term: skeleton soldiers."

"There are three skeleton soldiers in front of you, and according to your judgment, they are roughly at the Innate Early Stage Realm."

""Hello." You said this while looking at the skeleton soldiers in front of you."

"The skeleton soldiers had no expression on their faces, simply holding the blades in their hands and slashing at you."

"It seems they cannot communicate, you thought to yourself as you easily dodged the skeleton soldiers' attacks."

"The three skeleton soldiers swung their blades at you like pre-programmed routines."

"Your expression was relaxed, dodging the attacks of the three skeleton soldiers as if dancing."

"These three skeleton soldiers only had such ordinary attacks and no other skills; although you felt they were at the Innate Realm, they had no combat techniques."

"Immediately after, you stepped back slightly, spiritual power condensed in your hand, and you aimed at one of the skeleton soldiers, but the Goddess Magic Circle had no reaction."

"It seems the Goddess is indeed racist."

"Thinking this, you shot a condensed Qi bullet of spiritual power at the skeleton soldier, which exploded with a bang, leaving not even ashes behind."

""pure white!""

"A long sword emerged from your palm, its blade as white as the moon, glowing with a cold light."

"You touched pure white, feeling the cold blade, and the Goddess Magic Circle still had no reaction."

"You wondered if pure white would disappear after the remaining two skeletons died."

"You stepped forward and swung your sword horizontally."

"The two skeleton soldiers immediately lost their Life Qi, and a pile of white bones scattered on the ground."

"You touched pure white, and the long sword still did not disappear."

"You tried to use the spiritual power in your body again; as soon as the spiritual power condensed in your hand, the Goddess Magic Circle immediately emitted light again."

"What kind of ridiculous setting is this, you couldn't help but think."

"Helpless, you sighed; at least pure white could still be used."

"You looked at the map and kept walking towards the Demon Kings Castle; along the way, you encountered the Devil King's army and destroyed them casually."

"You initially thought these skeletons were just one type of the Demon Race, but now it seems that the so-called Demon Race is just these skeletons, and that Devil King must be a big skeleton."

"Along the way, you also encountered many refugees; their country must have been destroyed by the Devil King's army, and their faces were covered in dust, but they were lucky to at least still be alive. You saw more corpses along the way, with countless bugs crawling on them."

"Under a giant rock, you heard a child's crying."

"The surroundings were full of corpses, with knife marks on their necks, presumably all killed by the Devil King's army."

"These children seemed to have hidden under the giant rock and escaped death."

"You pushed the giant rock away, and there was a small space underneath."

"Inside were five children."

"Four children had blood on their mouths, gnawing on another child, and the crying was coming from this child."

"There were some white bones around, so it seems there were more than five children in the beginning."

"You bit your lip while looking at them."

"You subconsciously reached out your hand, Spiritual Qi gathered in your palm, and the Goddess Magic Circle on your neck did not activate."

"Why, Goddess, do you not even consider them human?"

"The four children raised their heads at the same time to look at you, and they saw the brightest light of their lives."

"The crying stopped."

"You continued walking towards the Demon Kings Castle."

"Three months later, you finally arrived at the foot of the Demon Kings Castle."

"The black castle stood on the mountaintop, even more massive and oppressive than you had seen from a distance. The walls towered into the clouds, and the black giant stones were covered with dark red patterns, spreading like blood vessels to every corner of the castle."

"It was very quiet here, as quiet as a tomb."

""The big skeleton lives in a tomb, which is quite fitting." You couldn't help but think."

"Along the way, you encountered large-scale skeleton legions a total of four times, and the strongest skeleton among them was at the Martial Saint Late Stage Realm."

"However, it was only at the Martial Saint Late Stage Realm; in your opinion, any Martial Artist at the Martial Saint Early Stage Realm could fight five such skeletons alone."

"You looked at the gate of the Demon Kings Castle in front of you."

"A gust of cold wind blew by, and without spiritual power to protect your body, you felt some chill."

""Boom!""

"The gate of the Demon Kings Castle opened with a bang, making a violent sound."

""Why are you welcoming my arrival?" You looked at the huge gate and walked in without the slightest hesitation."

"Inside the door was a long corridor, with strange characters carved on both sides, composed of twisted lines and weird symbols, and some parts seemed to have been deliberately erased, leaving only blurred traces."

"Although you couldn't understand the characters on the wall, you could understand the murals on the wall."

""Goddess." You muttered to yourself while looking at the murals."

"The young girl in the mural looked somewhat familiar, and you only then remembered seeing her in the main hall of the Falun Kingdom; she was the naked girl painted on the dome of the hall, but she was clothed here."

"The first scene of the mural depicted: a black-skinned creature enslaving humans, with the Goddess watching from the side."

"The second scene was: the Goddess drew a Formation and summoned a Hero."

"The third scene was: the Hero and the Goddess fought side by side, leading humans to victory. The head of that black-skinned creature was chopped off and rolled into the dust. Humans cheered, the Goddess smiled, and the Hero raised his long sword high."

"The fourth scene was a bit blurry, as if it had been deliberately erased, but you could vaguely see people arguing, someone kneeling, and someone drawing a sword."

"The fifth scene was the same, but not as thoroughly erased as the fourth; you could roughly see the Goddess in great pain, clutching her chest and kneeling on the ground."

"The sixth scene was: the Goddess was wearing no clothes, placed on a cross, and the Hero was lighting a fire underneath, as if to burn the Goddess to death."

"The seventh scene, which was also the last one, was: the Hero ascended the throne and became the new Devil King."

"The last scene was the largest, using an extra wall."

"You stood in front of the last mural, looking up at that huge wall."

""Why would the Hero turn against the Goddess?" Looking at the Hero about to ascend the throne in the mural, you couldn't help but think."

"This content was probably hidden in the third and fourth scenes, but unfortunately, it was no longer clear."

""It doesn't matter, it has nothing to do with me.""

"You continued walking through the corridor and finally reached the end."

"You pushed the door open."

"Behind the door was a huge hall. The dome was so high you couldn't see the top, and eerie blue flames burned on the surrounding walls, illuminating the entire space. In the center of the hall, there was a throne."

"A huge skeleton sat on the throne, which appeared to be the Devil King."

"Martial Saint Peak Realm."

"Looking at this skeleton, you felt."

"Then there is nothing to be afraid of. It's just a Martial Saint Peak Realm; you could crush it with one hand."

""You... have come!" The big skeleton raised its staff, the green fire in its eye sockets flickered, and its voice was hoarse and low, as if it came from underground."

""It can even talk!" You looked at him and also raised pure white in your hand."

"This was the first time you had seen a talking skeleton on your journey."

"Must say, as expected of the Devil King, it really is different."

""The Third Realm, the Third Realm!" The Devil King looked at you and shook his head: "But we are the same kind of people, hahaha!""

"After speaking, the green eyes in front of the Devil King dimmed."

"The Devil King's skeleton frame still maintained a sitting posture, and the staff was still held in its hand, but there was no breath left."

""Dead?" You were a little confused; although you could kill the opponent in one move, you really couldn't understand why the opponent committed suicide in front of you."

"You walked to the front of the Devil King's throne. From this angle, you could see a huge Formation carved on the floor in the center of the hall."

"It looks like a teleportation type Formation."

"This Devil King must have also been summoned by the Goddess, so you roughly guessed the reason for the final falling out with the Goddess."

"You took the Devil King's skull off the skeleton frame."

"The bone was heavy and cold to the touch, with a trace of dim green still remaining in the eye sockets. You put it in your backpack, preparing to take it back to the Falun Kingdom."

""Lorne, I hope the condition you mentioned that can let me go back is true!" You looked at the Formation in the Devil King's hall and muttered to yourself."
