The Demon King is unfathomable

Chapter 283 Fell Down Again

The night was as dark as ink, and the firelight reflected the fragmented outline of Assam city.

And right above this burning scorched earth, the towering Dragon Temple, which was as majestic as a mountain, suddenly trembled violently, and then slowly rose into the air in full view of everyone.

There is no support.

There was no trace of magic either.

The huge pyramid seemed to be held up by an invisible hand, rising inch by inch.

The thick and solid granite base exudes a sacred and irresistible majesty, towering above the entire city of Assam, like a giant's slowly raised foot, making the eyes of those who gaze at it reveal expressions of fear and shake in fear.

Large pieces of rocks fell from the sky, hitting the Ankylosaur lizardmen below, causing them to run away in panic, dodging and fleeing everywhere.

"Hahahaha!"

Looking at the flames that were getting farther and farther away and the stunned and terrified faces in the flames, Holy King Izzy, standing on the top of the temple, laughed arrogantly and wantonly, as if the entire city of Assam was under his feet.

"Ugly bug! Shameless traitor! Are you scared now?"

This is the last resort given to him by his ancestors—

When a disaster of national destruction strikes the Holy Armor Dragon Kingdom and everything is irreversible, all that is needed is to sprinkle the blood of the Pal family on the seal on the top of the temple, and let his noble and pure "blood of the descendants of the Dragon God" fill the mark on the altar, so as to lift the ancient seal imposed on the temple and awaken the terrifying power that the Dragon God has infused into the blood of the Pal family, thereby bringing down divine punishment on the enemies of the Pal family!
The firelight illuminated the crazy smile on Izzy's face. Looking at the enemies who were about to be destroyed and those servile tribesmen, he felt extremely happy in his heart.

Although the tragic situation in Assam City made him feel sad, such a small loss was nothing.

The entire city of Assam is his palace. Those who walk here are nothing more than slaves serving him and offering sacrifices to the Dragon God. And outside the holy lake there are endless slaves and sacrifices available!
As long as we can drive away these demons that have set foot on the continent of Janna, let alone one palace, we can build ten, a hundred... or even a thousand!

He can rebuild it too!

It just takes some time at most.

Izzy admired the flames rising into the sky with pride, and the temple rising into the sky flew higher and higher, until the edge of the granite steps under his feet almost overlapped with the outline of the entire city of Assam.

As the saying goes, it's lonely at the top. Even though he was full of passion and anger at the moment, he couldn't help shivering as the evening wind became colder and colder.

Izzy swallowed and looked into the distance, and suddenly found that his height was already level with the peak of the Stairway to the Sun Mountains!
Now, not only Assam City, but even the outline of the holy lake gradually disappeared at the edge of the granite steps, so that the sea level on the other side of the mountain came into his sight... and the Assam City under his feet became smaller and smaller, almost shrinking to a palm-sized dot on the tranquil lake surface, and could not even be seen from his position.

Izzy was a little panicked.

Maybe he shouldn't have flown up to the sky with the temple, but that amount of time didn't seem to be enough for him to run down from the top of the pyramid.

He cleared his throat, opened his arms to face the whistling evening breeze, and spoke in a powerful tone.

“Dragon God… Since you have answered my prayers, please punish those demons and sinners! I think this height is enough to demonstrate your majesty!”

Stop flying!

The Dragon God did not respond.

They just kept elevating the temple dedicated to him.

Is it that the spell is wrong?
Izzy wrinkled his scales and changed his words, saying the same thing again.

However, the Dragon God seemed not to hear it, and there was no change at all. He even vaguely felt that the temple was flying faster and faster!
The temperature around was getting colder and colder. The flame on the candlestick had long been extinguished, and a thin layer of frost had condensed on the bronze utensils and stone steps.

Feeling the increasingly biting cold and the increasingly biting wind, the smile on Izzy's lips finally froze. And his originally arrogant pupils gradually showed a hint of hesitation, and even panic that he didn't know what to do.

Then?

The seal on the altar has been activated, but the ancestral teachings of the Pal family did not tell him what to do next, nor did they tell him how to control this divine power that could move mountains and fill the sea.

Just when Izzy was at a loss, a strong wind suddenly blew.

The sudden gust of air blew Izzy over in an instant, and he tumbled down the steep granite steps, knocking out his two front teeth and nearly knocking him unconscious.

He stretched out his hand in a hurry, and after several bumps and bruises, he finally grabbed the fangs under the dragon god statue, and barely avoided falling from the temple that rose into the air.

"No - damn it!"

Looking at the night sky hanging just beyond his feet, Izzy was filled with fear, and his heart almost jumped out of his throat.

At this moment, he had no time to care about the people on the ground. He let out incoherent screams and curses, and his voice sounded almost like begging for mercy.

"Your Majesty, the Dragon God, you have already flown high enough!"

"Please—quickly, stop it!"

……

On the other side, thousands of feet below!

The towering Dragon Temple soared into the sky beyond everyone's expectations, and what was even more unexpected was that after the palace flew up, it disappeared, just like a kite with a broken string, flying farther and farther towards the dark night sky. In just a few minutes, it disappeared into the clouds, and not even its shadow could be seen.

The sky seemed to have no end...

In the streets and alleys of Assam City, the remaining Ankylosaur Lizardmen all looked up blankly in the direction where the pyramid disappeared, their bodies stiff, their tails taut, and for a moment they even forgot to breathe.

"what is that?"

"Could it be that Lord Dragon God has answered our prayers?!"

"But... why did He move the temple away?!"

No one can answer.

Even the Holy Blood Warriors who had previously forced the Demon King's Army to be the saviors, even the most eloquent priest in the city, did not know how to explain this bizarre situation for a moment.

That menacing look...

It seemed that it was just to scare the Demon King's army.

However, looking at the calm expression of the demon king riding on the back of the spider, it seems that even this only function has to be questioned.

Standing under a fallen tree, an Ankylosaur soldier couldn't help swallowing and said timidly.

"…His Majesty, has he forgotten how to get down?"

The armored dragon soldier next to him heard it and quickly grabbed him.

"Shh! Don't talk nonsense, maybe... there is a backup plan!"

As for what the back-up plan is, he doesn't know either.

Now only the lonely evening breeze can save their dignity.

Some smart lizardmen had already begun to waver in their hearts. They had just mustered up a little courage, but were crushed by this inexplicable operation.

Is this really a miracle?
or--

Is the great Dragon God really on the side of His Majesty the Holy King?
no one knows.

……

On the street next to the "old site" of the Dragon Temple, Zel stood in the dust and rubble, his old face having long lost its former dignity and composure.

A few minutes ago, he almost rolled and jumped down from the stone steps in panic, so he was not carried up to the sky by the rising Dragon Temple.

He didn't know why he did this.

Logically speaking, as he was extremely pious, he should have regarded this as a blessing, but he still jumped down instinctively.

Looking at the Dragon Temple that almost disappeared into a dot in the air, his lips trembled, his throat tightened, and he could hardly breathe.

"Your Majesty the Holy King...what are you doing?"

He could probably guess that His Majesty must have used the holy blood to activate the seal on the altar, but he never expected the final result of making the entire Dragon Temple fly.

Why did the Parr family regard this as their final trump card?

Is there any point in doing this?

All the Ankylosaur Lizardmen couldn't figure it out.

Whether they are the nobles and priests in the core power circle, or the cannon fodder and slaves who are excluded from the core of power.

Unlike these bewildered lizardmen, the players standing in Assam City were quite excited.

Especially those guys who were cursing the shit planner for playing tricks and letting NPCs snatch all the MVPs away the previous second, now started shouting "666!" and "Awesome!"

"Fuck, the budget is going to explode!"

"What funding? Isn't this just a matter of adjusting the numbers in the background by the idiot planner?"

"Is this something that can be done by adjusting the values?!"

"Awesome! This CG is awesome!"

"Hey, luckily I recorded the screen, I'll edit it into a PV when I get back to show off!"

"Is the boss battle coming up?!"

"Hurry up!!!"

The players were noisy and chattering, some were discussing the direction of the plot, and some were eagerly preparing for the BOSS battle.

Perhaps it was because their reactions were too relaxed, so that after seeing their reactions, some lizardmen even began to suspect whether it was the work of the Demon King's army, and then turned their awe-inspiring gazes to the Demon King standing behind them.

Especially Thea and Niema.

They were from the Sand Ridge Clan and also participated in this military operation of revenge, and they followed closely behind the Demon King's central army.

Looking at the demon king sitting expressionlessly on the back of the underground spider, Xia couldn't help but reveal a glimmer in his eyes, and Nima's expression was even more admiring, as if he were a god, and he wanted to kowtow to him.

A miracle happened to them again!

At this moment, Xia was extremely grateful for the wisdom of Her Majesty the Queen, which allowed them to stand in the most correct position at the first time, instead of joining forces with the Ankylosaur insects.

otherwise--

The fate of the Sand Ridge Clan will probably be even worse than that of the Ankylosaur Clan. After all, they don't have endless cannon fodder to waste.

At this moment, Luo Yan didn't know that the lizardmen from various tribes standing behind him directly blamed him for the pyramid that took off on the spot.

To be honest, he was also confused. The surprise in his heart was no less than that when he was in the Lord's Mansion of Black Wind Castle, watching the arrogant Elder Zakro die under his silver-level spell.

However, as an experienced demon king, he did not show any surprise on his face. He just calmly watched the temple disappear into the night sky.

anyway……

The world divided by the "Great Barrier" should theoretically be a place similar to the subspace. The walls that isolate the world should not only be around it, but also in the sky.

So if this guy keeps flying upwards, will he fly into outer space or hit the air wall... Luo Yan couldn't help but fall into thought.

Standing next to Luo Yan, Thanos swallowed slowly and asked in a trembling voice.

"Your Majesty, is this... arranged by you?"

He had previously suggested to temporarily avoid the attack, but the Demon King ignored him. Then he watched the towering temple fly higher and higher until it flew into the clouds and disappeared.

Looking at the calm expression on Luo Yan's face, although he felt it was absurd, there was only one explanation left -

In order to establish his authority among the surrendered Ankylosaurs, the Demon King directly used his mysterious divine power to wipe the spiritual totem of the Ankylosaurs from the ground!

This kind of thing is not impossible.

After all, in this world, besides extraordinary powers, there is also power beyond the extraordinary!

Not only Thanos, the Shadow Lord, but also Blancia, the Thorn Lord, looked at the temple disappearing in the night sky, their beautiful eyes filled with astonishment and shock.

She had never seen any extraordinary person who could raise a palace as majestic as a mountain into the clouds with the power of magic alone!

That was a miracle that took tens of thousands of Lizardman slaves countless days and moons to complete... Just looking at what happened just now, let alone Elder Zakro, I'm afraid even the mysterious vampire who ambushed Zakro in Black Wind Castle couldn't do it!
As for how she knew it was Luo Yan who did it, the reason was very simple.

It was not just because of a woman's sixth sense, but also because of the nonchalant expression on Luo Yan's face, which she was so familiar with.

When Elder Zakro tried his best but still couldn't win and ended up dead downstairs in Black Wind Castle Manor, the devil's face had the same expression...

Hearing Thanos' question, Luo Yan glanced at him and said lightly.

"No."

Thanos' expression froze, but he said nothing. He just lowered his head again, his expression even more respectful than before.

As expected of the Demon King—

It's really unfathomable!

"..." Looking at the expression on Thanos' face, Luo Yan knew that this guy probably misunderstood something, but explaining it again would only make it more obvious, so he didn't bother to say more.

It's not an important thing anyway.

What he wanted to know now was what the pyramid flying into the sky was like.

Time passed minute by minute, and there was no sound in the sky. The invisible pressure that enveloped the entire Assam city seemed to disappear without anyone noticing.

The lizardmen who were looking up at the sky had so many sore necks, but they did not see any new changes in the night sky.

High Priest Zell moved his head, sighed and was about to give up when suddenly a grain of sand fell on his nose.

His brow twitched and his eyes narrowed slightly.

This is……?
There was a faint low roar in the air, like muffled thunder rolling across the night sky.

Zel suddenly looked up at the sky, his expression suddenly changed!
I saw a meteor suddenly appear in the sky, instantly piercing through the thick clouds and rushing towards the ground!

That was the Dragon Temple that had risen into the air earlier!
Although its structure has completely disintegrated, the high-speed airflow and pressure difference have squeezed the huge granite bricks together.

Due to the extremely fast speed, the grease on the brick and stone surface was ignited, dragging tens of thousands of tangled flames in the night sky, which looked like a falling sun from a distance!

The granite pyramid that the Ankylosaurs had been building day after day for thousands of years was now returning like lightning. It was like a javelin thrown by the Dragon God himself, tearing everything apart with rage and thunder, and fiercely smashing into the heart of Assam City!

"Demon Lord, be careful!"

Arakdo cried out, and quickly touched the ground with his front legs, trying to dig a cover on the spot.

Sarah stepped forward and stood in front of Luo Yan, but just as she raised the dagger, Luo Yan grabbed her collar and pulled her back into his arms and made her sit down.

"Rock wall!"

The thick rock wall rose from the ground, but Luo Yan remained calm and kept pointing the magic wand in his hand like a baton conducting a symphony.

"Skin of Steel!"

"Swift Wind!"

"Frost Armor!"

"..."

As a top student at the Demon King Academy, he was proficient in dozens of different status magics, and had applied basically all the buffs that could be applied to himself.

And just when he recited the fifth spell, the huge palace had already crashed into the center of Assam City like an asteroid falling from high orbit!

"boom--!"

The deafening roar was like the roar of tens of thousands of giant dragons, instantly depriving everyone present of their hearing. It was followed by a shock wave far more terrifying than dragon breath, sweeping across the entire street in an instant!
Houses destroyed!
The city walls were knocked down!
That was a natural disaster!

The baptism of three thousand rockets is nothing compared to this - no matter the killing or destruction, it is not even a hair compared to the "asteroid" that hit the ground!
The boiling smoke and air waves were like a tsunami rolling on the ground, engulfing the entire city of Assam in just a few breaths. The power that had nowhere to vent even condensed upwards into the shape of a mushroom cloud!

A huge rock swept across and hit the rock wall summoned by Luo Yan. Both of them shattered and turned into fragments that were swept away by the violent airflow.

Luo Yan held down the frozen Sarah with one hand, and quickly cast another spell with his right hand holding the magic wand, thus blocking the horrific aftermath!

The earth shook for a full ten seconds, and then fell into an indescribable silence.

When the dust settled, Luo Yan released Sarah, who was frozen in fear, and looked around, only to see that the fire burning in the city had been extinguished.

However, in contrast, the entire Assam was almost razed to the ground, and there was not even a single intact building left nearby...

A skull rolled to Luo Yan's feet. The soul fire in the skull was still burning, and the skull's chin was still trembling and cursing.

"Damn it... I knew it... the dog planner had no good intentions..."

Luo Yan: “…”

Not far away, there was another noise from the rubble, and Thanos pushed aside the rubble with an embarrassed look on his face and stood up.

Looking at his miserable look, Luo Yan couldn't guess for a moment whether this guy was really caught off guard or was just acting on the spot.

"Master Demon! Are you okay?"

"I'm very good."

Looking at Thanos with a concerned look on his face, Luo Yan replied indifferently, and then turned his gaze to Blancia who was standing firmly with the help of the black vines.

She had just used vines to reinforce the rock wall, but perhaps because of this she neglected to defend herself, and was hit on the chest, and a large piece of white was torn from her jet-black dress, but it was soon sewn up by tiny thorns.

"Your Majesty... next time you use such divine power, could you tell me in advance, so that I can at least be prepared." Blancia looked at Luo Yan with a resentful look on her face, bowed gracefully and said.

"I said it wasn't me."

Regardless of whether these two idiots believed it or not, Luo Yan threw down these words and then told them to do their best to rescue the survivors of the aftermath of the explosion. Then he urged the almost hard Arakdo under him and walked towards the center of Assam City.

The Lizardmen had decent physical attributes, and the Ankylosaurs were particularly good at defense, so there were surprisingly quite a few survivors.

Many of the guys flew out more than ten meters away and hit the wall heavily, but they were still able to move after shaking. If they were humans, they would have been dead.

However, the closer Luo Yan walked to the city center, the fewer surviving lizardmen there were. When he reached the center of the explosion, there was only one unconscious lizard lying on the messy street, and the surrounding area was filled with bloody corpses and rubble.

Maybe he had some magical item to protect him, the guy holding the bone staff still had a breath left.

Because he would have something to ask later, Luo Yan casually threw a healing spell over and pulled him back from the brink of death.

Looking at the demon king riding on the back of the spider, the high priest Zel Tua opened his mouth, unable to utter a word. After a moment, he knelt on the ground trembling.

"Greetings...Your Majesty the True Dragon."

"Call me Demon King."

Glancing at this spineless guy with contempt, Luo Yan patted Arakdo's head, stopped this stupid spider who couldn't control his mouth when he saw a bug, and signaled it to continue moving forward.

The center of the explosion was carved into a deep sunken pit, like the crater of an extinct volcano.

After passing through thick fog and rugged rocks, Luo Yan finally arrived at the center of the collapsed palace. However, everything that came into his sight made him stunned.

In the center of the crater, there was a silver-white spindle-shaped structure about ten meters long, quietly embedded in the messy granite pestle.

Its shell is made of some unknown metal, and the surface glows an odd silver color in the firelight. It looks neither like bronze nor steel... and certainly not like any material that should be used in this era.

What’s even more bizarre is that after such a violent impact, there isn’t even a single scratch left on its shell!
What made him particularly unbelievable was——

He couldn't even feel the slightest fluctuation of magical elements on it!

“…This doesn’t seem like the inheritance of the Parr family.”

Luo Yan muttered to himself, turned over and jumped off Arakdo's back, stepped into the slowly burning fire, and came to the silver-white structure that was out of tune with the surroundings.

The minimalist structure was out of tune with the surrounding broken stone pillars and fractured dragon reliefs. This thing could never have been made by the Holy Armor Dragon Kingdom, which was still playing with bronze and stone!

Sarah followed Luo Yan closely, looking at the silver structure with fear, her right hand tightly holding the dagger, ready to pull it out at any time.

However, unlike Sarah, there was not much fear in Luo Yan's eyes, only shock and excitement that could not be described in words.

He stretched out his right hand and gently touched the silver-white metal. He actually felt a hint of coolness from it that was completely different from the surroundings.

"What on earth is this?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a low dragon voice came from in front of him -

"Identity scanning...Verification failed..."

Luo Yan: “…”

Authentication failure is ok.

For a moment, Luo Yan didn't know whether he should be shocked by the dragon language echoing in his ears, or surprised by the extremely shocking fact in front of him.

Although I don't know what function this thing has, but all signs seem to indicate that -

The legendary Dragon God is actually an alien? !

And it is suspected to come from a civilization with a very high level of technology!
The huge amount of information was difficult for him to digest for a while, but when he thought of Lint Isaac's identity as a time traveler, the sudden appearance of an alien did not seem so difficult to accept.

Just as Luo Yan was thinking about how to open the giant egg in front of him, a trembling voice suddenly came from behind him.

He saw the old lizardman whom he had rescued earlier limping towards him and handing over the bone staff in his hand.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

“Try this.”
