Chapter Ch116 - Entertainment Match – Demon King 3
translator: xiin
editor: kara
The skies were gloomy, and the rain was accompanied by peals of thunder!
The side door to the old castle was suddenly opened, and a sorry figure directly leapt inside, startling the hacker, Universal Day, who was acting as a doorkeeper, into a shill scream, “Holy shit, are you a human or a ghost?!”
The humanoid figure slammed the side door shut, then turned to lift his hair off his face and reveal the paladin, Forgetting Worries’s handsome face––
Forgetting Worries looked frightened, “He’s following me... the demon king is following me!”
Universal Day was very cooperative and shivered before saying, “Don’t, don’t rush in. Let me disarm the trap first.”
At this moment, the audience on the public screen: “What the hell!? You guys have turned a normal and proper entertainment match into a ghost horror movie!”
A moment later, Universal Day disarmed all the traps that covered the entire front hall.
The front hall’s layout was very special. The door directly opposite led to the main hall. Curving around the main hall entrance were two spiral staircases that led to the second floor. In order to make room for the two-meter-high chandelier that hung from the second floor, the entire staircase had been hollowed out and could be seen through the railings.
Forgetting Worries was finally able to run into the safe zone. He gasped and said, “Old Friend and that other one... ah, in any case, it’s that male commentator, they’re both dead! Fortunately, my legs are long, and I was able to run inside!”
“......” Universal Day lowered his head to look at Forgetting Worries’s pair of legs. He thought for a moment, then said, “It seems that I can’t refute this?”
He reactivated the traps as he spoke. A magical pattern flashed quickly across each trap when they turned on, displaying their specific location, before everything was hidden once again.
Forgetting Worries stood to the side and pushed back his cape. The rain water trickled down to accumulate into a puddle on the floor as he said, “Is everyone in the castle? We should group up into a formation. Spreading out like this is too dangerous.”
Universal Day: “They’re all here.”
Right then, a thunderbolt suddenly struck outside the castle! In an instant, the flash of lightning illuminated a Forgetting Worries’s pale face!
Forgetting Worries trembled, “You, you shouldn’t scare me like that. How is anyone else here?”
As soon as his voice fell, he saw the huge floor clock that was to the side shift a little, and a shadowed face appeared on the left.
Then, the giant chandelier above their heads creaked and swayed, and another person hung themselves there upside down, saying, “Shh! Don’t expose your positions!”
So, the vase that had just grown feet silently shrank back into place, and the statue that had been about to move jumped expressionlessly back onto its base.
Forgetting Worries: “......”
Universal Day said, “Hey, have you forgotten that my skill is to change models? Setting up an ambush like this is a piece of cake.”
Forgetting Worries: “Are there any models left? Give me one, too.”
Forgetting Worries: “... I suddenly feel that being myself is great. Just let me be your bait.”
Universal Day gave him a big thumbs up for his fearlessness, then said, “Although you’re acting as bait, don’t walk around. The traps here are automatically triggered. If you’re too close, then you’ll go ‘boom!’... There are also a few traps that are voice-activated.”
Forgetting Worries: “Voice-activated?”
Universal Day chuckled, “Yes, it’s a voice activation model that I created. It’s a very simple mini program. As long as you clap your hands, the ice traps here will attack, creating a deceleration effect within a five-meter radius.”
After a while, Forgetting Worries’s body had basically been wrung dry like a dishcloth, and the rain had grown heavy again. However, the demon king still hadn’t come, and everyone was very anxious.
Another head appeared to the right of the huge pendulum clock and spoke to Forgetting Worries, “Come here for a moment.”
Forgetting Worries walked over, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, “Captain, do you have orders for me?”
The captain said, “We’ve already discussed a series of team-combo attacks, but we didn’t arrange a role for you. In a bit, if we start fighting, you don’t need to do anything. Just stay in the front row and use your body to protect your teammates. Don’t worry, I’ll be in front of you.”
Forgetting Worries was very moved by this. “Captain! Your spirit will last forever! After this competition is over, let me introduce my sister to you. She loves watching the sea with responsible men like you!”
The audience was immediately injected with chicken blood. They wanted to use a ‘pure 24k gold flag’ in support, but even before a single word could be sent out, the words were already deleted.
In the field, they could all hear the stained glass window in the front hall break with a loud crash!
All of a sudden, the colorful shards of glass formed strange shapes and shadows, allowing the cold wind and rain to sweep in and wrap around the hall.
Everyone’s spirit quivered. The first thing they could see was a pair of dark wings overlapping and spinning into the hall before abruptly opening wide. Protected between them was precisely the lord demon king, who was showing his ability to the fullest extent!
All the furnishings in the room buzzed and shook due to the strong cyclone-like winds.
“Plan––A––”
The captain’s shout hadn’t yet finished but the demon king was already headed straight for the most vulnerable bait––the hacker, Universal Day.
Events transpired faster than they could be described. A streak of magic light landed on Universal Day’s body, and he jumped up three feet into the air, charging up the stairs like a streak of smoke.
“Clap clap clap clap!”
Universal Day clapped frantically as he ran away!
The ice traps on the ground in the front hall activated with Universal Day’s voice-controlled command, and a cold current instantly enveloped the entire space.
The brave warriors, who enjoyed a 50% damage reduction when attacked by their teammates, bravely surrounded the lord demon king, taking advantage of the time when the latter’s dark wings were covered with a layer of dark blue frost due to the rain and traps, and his movement speed was abruptly slowed.
As a tank, the captain took the lead and held up his shield to defend against the demon king.
Although Odin’s movements had slowed down, his strength hadn’t lessened at all. Song of Triumph’s blade edge connected with the shield in an instant.
Following the ‘clang’ that rang out, the team captain felt a great force smash into him, directly forcing his arm aside––
The captain saw the cold light of Deep Silence flashing across his eyes and was just about to use a damage reduction skill to resist!
Right then!
From far away on the second floor, Universal Day shouted: “Captain––” and jumped up, drawing out a beautiful curve like a dolphin jumping out of the water as he flew towards a point in front of the captain’s body.
In this critical moment, he landed between the captain and the demon king!
The team captain whose inner heart was full of shock had completely forgotten to activate his skill!
Universal Day: “You have––to live on––!!”
His words hadn’t yet been finished when the demon king hit him with a wing, sending Universal Day five meters away.
Even before the captain could react, a dagger was inserted straight into his heart. Because he hadn’t used any life-saving skills, Song of Triumph followed up and took his life away.
The captain: “...???”
The captain of the brave warriors, pwned.
Universal Day had been slapped into the clock pendulum by a wing, directly smashing his teammate out of the model. The two of them clutched at each other as they rolled around in the corridor, shouting and yelling.
The demon king ended up facing the elemental dancer, Geng Chen, but Forgetting Worries didn’t disappoint, rushing up like a hero wanting to save the beauty. He used a bright holy mark to block the first move, then executed three and a half full turns in the air after being knocked away by a wing.
At this time, the other brave warriors all put in their best efforts as they executed ‘Plan A’ according to their captain’s will.
While the great demon king was still slowed, the trap master first activated the paralysis trap, initiating the first real control ability. A second later, the elemental dancer, Geng Chen, quickly followed up with a lightning spell, landing a second control ability. Immediately after that came another mage’s polymorph, and at the moment when the transformation was broken, a fourth control skill came––
They were all worthy of being professional players. Even if it was their first time cooperating together, the linkage between these control skills was perfect!
It added up to over five seconds of hard control. No matter what kind of player it was, they would only be able to wait it out. In theory, there was no way to avoid it at all.
And, five seconds was enough for the rest of them to smash out their most damaging combos!
As lightning, stormy winds, arrows, and blade lights converged together, the powerful air flow spread out directly from the center, and the demon king’s wings suddenly closed around him.
The hacker, Universal Day, looked at their enemy’s health bar from a distance and also activated his own skills. He reported very excitedly, “The demon king is half-dead!! There’s a chance, my fellow brothers!!!”
At this time, the public screen was constantly refreshing, “This combo is amazing!! It’s the first time in my life that I’ve seen such a cool scene! Geng Chen, Universal Day, Captain, Forgetting Worries... it’s a gathering of male gods and goddesses!!”
“PVP players are really different! Just this cooperation, it’s simply frightening that it’s their first time working together.”
“I don’t think it would be a problem for this group to head straight into a heroic instance.”
“No way, there’s so many of you all bullying my male god!!! Aaahhh, if you have the ability, then control my great demon king for another second so that I can go up and lick him!”
After one round of hard control skills, the first skill of the next round of control was relatively weak––it was Geng Chen’s ice wind technique.
The great demon king’s wings shook suddenly, breaking free from the shackles, and he burst out from the trap like a bolt of lightning––
When his figure could be seen again, he was holding Geng Chen’s throat in his right hand. He tossed her directly into a wall, and the dagger, Deep Silence flipped silently in his hand.
The demon king’s Flash had cast off everyone who’d been surrounding him. At this time, they were all beyond reach and could only watch as Geng Chen was killed against the wall, turning into a streak of white light.
At this time, the demon king’s health had fallen to the halfway point due to the long-ranged attacks from spells and arrows, but he had no intention of backing down for the time being. With a flick of his wings, he flew up to the second floor, blocking the field of vision for many of the brave warriors who were on the first floor.
At this time, there was a contestant standing on the second floor who’d been hanging off the chandelier earlier... a weak archer profession. He saw that the demon king was looking at him and jumped up three feet, using a skill to head towards the stairs and flee.
This floor plan was quite special. If he’d jumped down directly, there would be nowhere in the air from which he could have gained leverage, and he would definitely have ended up pinched to death in the air by Odin, the ‘Number 1 Angel of the A-League’. So, he’d cleverly chosen to head to the opposite stairwell so that the great demon king, who was already standing on the second floor, would have to go down the other stairway.
However, what he hadn’t expected was that the paladin, Forgetting Worries, who was on the ground floor, would rush up with his long gun to try and save him without another word!
The two of them ended up face-to-face while running at high speeds along the narrow stairs. They were about to bump into each other––
Forgetting Worries was anxious. He shouted:
“You left, me right!”
......
Half a second later.
The two of them knocked off 10% of each other’s health and tumbled down the stairs. They were both dazed for 1.5 seconds.
The great demon king was expressionless as he came down and took away the archer’s life.
