Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 464
Chapter 462 The Demon King’s Change
Transformation. The unicorn transformed into a horned woman and knelt before Jiang Li.
“To answer the gods, now that the Demon King has transformed, I’ve been defeated in battle and have sought refuge here. I’ve driven away the Hydra, the nine-headed snake. If you’re looking for it, it’s on the lower level.”
The unicorn felt a greater sense of oppression from Jiang Li than from the Demon King.
She couldn’t grasp Jiang Li’s identity, but addressing him as a god was not wrong.
Seeing the unicorn’s respectful treatment of Jiang Li, Lance and the others were stunned. The priest took this opportunity to use his strongest healing skill, restoring everyone’s mobility.
This was the limit of the priest’s abilities.
“I’m not interested in the nine-headed monster. On the contrary, you, as the number one under the Demon King, should know a lot.”
“I dare not hide anything from the gods. I was once the strongest of the Demon King’s subordinates, but now I’m only second.”
“With your strength, you’re second. It seems the number one is very strong.”
“I accept defeat with all my heart.” The unicorn recalled the previous battle with fear. It was a crushing defeat, and he had no chance to fight back.
Lance used his appraisal skill and saw the unicorn’s data panel with a shudder.
Health, mana, mental power, attack power, defense… these stats were terrifying. The ancient dragon and the three-headed dog of hell combined weren’t even half of it.
And there were so many extremely rare skills.
Even if the unicorn claimed to be the Demon King, Lance would believe it.
Seeing such a demon, they didn’t just run away. How dare Underwood and his men fight? Are they tired of living?
Lance walked up to Underwood and showed a look of pity. If Jiang Li hadn’t arrived, these people would have died under the unicorn’s attack.
“Don’t you know how to analyze enemy intelligence before a fight? Do you think all Legendaries are similar?”
“I’ve told you before, don’t trust Underwood’s explosive skills. They’re unstable and not invincible,”
Lance asked calmly, but to Underwood and the others, it was a heavy dose of irony.
Especially the newly recruited magician, who had replaced Lance but couldn’t do the same.
Underwood lowered his head in shame, because his arrogance had nearly led to the team’s annihilation.
The female archer asked with interest, “What were you thinking in the first place? Kick Lance out?”
The team members were silent. They called themselves the Brave Squad, and after half a day, Lance appeared before them in a Brave suit. The irony was so strong that they wanted to find a hole to hide in.
“Lance, can you join our team again? I’ll give you the captaincy. Let’s improve together and defeat the Demon King.” Underwood felt that no matter how strong Lance was, he needed the support of his teammates. He couldn’t defeat the Demon King alone.
Lance shook his head gently. “I’ve already been kicked out. I have nothing to do with the Brave Squad anymore.”
Lance looked at Jiang Li. “Besides, defeating the Demon King…is no longer our priority.”
As he saw Jiang Li, Lance also saw the humanoid unicorn crawling on the ground, which inevitably led to another question.
If the unicorn was second only to the Demon King, then who was first, and how powerful was the Demon King? Could humans, equipped with four sets of armor, truly defeat the Demon King?
And how could humans be so unaware of the Demon King’s succession?
Isn’t there always only one Demon King? I’ve never heard of a succession.
“The Demon King has changed?”
the unicorn replied respectfully, “Yes. About two years ago, a new Demon King suddenly appeared and killed the old Demon King. In the Demon Tribe, the strong are respected, and whoever is the strongest is the Demon King.”
“After the new Demon King took the throne, he had no interest in invading the three tribes. He spent all day playing in the Demon Tribe, appearing and disappearing like a ghost. No one could grasp the whereabouts of the new Demon King. Just like that, the new Demon
King disappeared soon after taking the throne.” “The Demon King has appeared again recently, and he is followed by a strange Demon General. The Demon General should be a Frost Giant. It is so powerful that it is indescribable. I even think that this Demon General is more powerful than the old Demon King.” “
After I fought with the Demon General, I saw the gap between us. I felt disheartened and came here to be quiet, and then I met you.”
“What does the new Demon King look like?”
“I don’t know. The new Demon King is always shrouded in black fog, and it is unclear which branch of the Demon Tribe he belongs to. Perhaps the Demon Tribe’s first general who followed the new Demon King knows what the new Demon King looks like.”
“After I take the Crown of Heroes, I’ll go congratulate the new Demon King.” Jiang Li felt that demonic affairs were more complicated than he had imagined.
“How much do you know about the relationship between the gods and the demon kings?”
“Nothing. The old demon king never mentioned it.”
“What about the formation in the dungeon?”
“What formation?” The unicorn looked bewildered.
Seeing Jiang Li’s disappointment, the unicorn quickly explained, “I’m a loner and don’t like to stir up trouble. I’m just a casual acquaintance with the other demons. I have no interest in their secrets, so I haven’t sought to understand them.”
The brave team returned to the surface to recuperate. Jiang Li took the unicorn, Lance, and the female archer to the final floor.
To demonstrate his worth, the unicorn preempted Jiang Li’s attack and shattered the puppet.
“This is the Crown of Heroes. Please examine it, our Lord God.” The unicorn presented the crown,
a crown woven from golden olive branches.
Just when Lance thought Jiang Li would toss the Crown of the Brave to him as usual, Jiang Li tossed the Crown of the Brave with interest, not intending to give it to Lance.
“This Crown of the Brave is interesting. Once you wear it, someone will control your spirit. It’s more like a puppet crown than a crown of the brave.”
The unicorn cried out, “Can this thing control the mind?”
The unicorn had also heard the gods’ prophecy that a brave man would appear and defeat the devil.
“The brave’s weapon will control the brave man in turn? Who would do this?” Lance couldn’t believe it.
“Who knows? It could be a god, a devil, or a third force.”
“Since we can’t find the gods for the time being, we can go to the Demon King’s City to meet the new Demon King and find out the truth.”
The female archer covered her ears, her expression changed drastically: “The Demon King is not in the Demon King’s City, he appeared in our Elf Forest!”
“This is impossible! The new Demon King has never left the Demon Territory.”
“We elves are connected by blood, and messages can be transmitted through blood. The Elf Queen just sent a message to all the elves, saying that the Demon King appeared in the Elf Forest, shouting for the God of Elves to come out, and next to
him was a menacing demon general. The Queen asked us elves outside not to come back.” Jiang Li’s understanding of the elves was wrong. Lance explained to Jiang Li: “The elves are a race that is arrogant to the outside world and united internally. Blood is one of their symbols of internal unity and can convey messages to the entire tribe.” “
Merciful God, I beg you to save our elves.”
The female archer made a gesture to kneel down in front of Jiang Li.
Jiang Li stopped her: “I was originally looking for the Demon King. Your information saved me from making a wasted trip to the Demon King’s City. I should thank you.”
“Get up.”
The female archer said gratefully: “You are indeed a kind and great god.”
