Chapter 740 I'll send my greetings to the Demon King on behalf of Arthur
The two bosses, Satan, who guard the gates of the Demon King's chamber, also serve as the key to the mechanics.

The gate between the two Satans will only truly open when the player uses the "Cross" to kill them.

If two Satans are killed using a non-cross weapon, the player will be forcibly teleported to the fifth level, the lower level of the Demon King's Castle, under the influence of the "Cycle Curse". At the same time, all the monsters that have been killed along the way will be resurrected, including the Satan triplets. For players who have already gone through so much trouble to reach the end of the sixth level, this will be an ultimate torment.

Due to Christian issues, the American version changed "cross" to "shield with cross-shaped pattern," but there is essentially no difference.

Although Cheng Tian had previously used the simulated fire cross to turn the dragon into a roasted dragon, he was still cautious in this regard. He first obtained the cross from a hidden location, and then killed the two Satans one by one by controlling their health.

As expected, the cycle of curses was successfully broken.

Cheng Tian and Bazett exchanged a glance, then strode into the Demon King's chamber.

The Demon King's Chamber was remarkably spacious, possessing an indescribable simplicity. Only at the far end, directly opposite the main gate, stood a throne atop steps, requiring one to look up in awe. A tall demon with twin devil horns and a full purple beard reminiscent of Zhang Fei or Li Kui sat imposingly upon it, one hand supporting his chin, observing Cheng with a look of keen interest.

Demon King Astaroth.

To the left of his throne, there was also a princess with long purple hair, who was controlled by a Crimson Demon General who wore metal armor and whose combat power and status were clearly not low in the tribe.

In fact, the purple-haired princess was quite excited when the door opened, but when she saw that the person who came was not Arthur in his knight's armor, the light in her eyes visibly dimmed.

When she was attacked and kidnapped by Satan, the princess witnessed Arthur being severely injured. However, because she did not witness Arthur's death and could hear news of the Demon Village being gradually breached by unknown people during her captivity, she still retained a sliver of hope.

This fantasy was shattered when they saw Cheng Tian and the other person, whom they didn't recognize at all.

Arthur is not coming...

However, her sadness lasted less than five seconds before she was stunned by the sudden words of the stranger.

"Demon King, tell the truth... are you and this princess related by blood?"

Cheng Tian looked at the Demon King Astaroth with a serious expression and asked very clearly.

Not only did the princess look shocked, then her eyes filled with tears as if she had suffered some kind of endless humiliation, but even the Demon King was stunned on his throne, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Mr. Cheng had no malicious intent; he was simply very curious because the color scheme of the princess in the FC version was almost identical to that of the demon king.

Both of them had purple hair. The princess was still wearing a white dress, while the demon king, who should have been a symbol of darkness, was also dressed in pure white, from his top with a demon face painted on it to his seemingly one-piece lower body.

The Demon King was wearing a bright red trench coat, while the Princess wore an extra red vest over her upper body. Although the Famicom was an 8-bit machine, it already had its own unique features in color reproduction, so the similarity in color schemes between the Princess and the Demon King was, to some extent, intentional.

The Demon King's elaborate scheme to abduct the princess had only one purpose: to use her as a breeding ground to give birth to an outstanding offspring who possessed the bloodlines of both human and demon royalty, thus qualifying him to rule both the human and demon realms!

Believe it or not, this demon king is quite traditional. Not only does he have a "family concept," but he also knows how to force humans to accept the demon race through blood fusion.

Cheng Tian was naturally aware of this setting, but the highly similar color schemes of both sides still made him ask the question.

The Demon King was also shocked by Cheng Tian's extraordinary wisdom.

He did indeed send men to kidnap the princess in front of Arthur, but because Cheng Tian continued to push forward, bad news kept coming from Demon Village. In addition, the princess still had some hope, so the Demon King chose to delay until this critical moment, preparing to personally end the life of this human hero who dared to break in in front of the princess.

However, for the Demon King, who values ​​family, Cheng Tian's astonishing wisdom was simply a bit cloying, making his future union with the princess seem like some kind of incestuous affair...

However, just as the Demon King was about to say something, Cheng Tian shook his head to himself.

"Hey~~~ There's no point in asking this. You can explain it to Arthur yourself later."

Before the Demon King could fully grasp what "going to Arthur to explain" meant, a golden glow, like ripples on water, appeared behind Cheng Tian.

Then, starting with Balford's twin swords and ending with the End Eater, six or seven different types of melee weapons emerged from it.

However, in the blink of an eye, the number of weapons within the water ripples suddenly surged. But upon closer inspection, it became clear that these were phantom replicas of the weapons that appeared at the very beginning.

But the moment these phantoms appeared, the Demon King's gaze sharpened. Although their forms of expression were different, he still recognized them as Arthur's Knight Throw.

Among the human knights, Arthur, who excels in mid-range and long-range attacks and can use rare and fragile weapons as casting materials to create projectiles of the same attribute, is a rare breed among the many human knights who only wield longswords and lances.

Arthur was able to escape unscathed under the cover of the human knights by using ranged throwing techniques to distract them. He even managed to steal the map of the Demon King's castle, truly dispelling illusions and allowing the successor to appear before him...

So that's how it is. So these are the humans who inherited your will and techniques.

The moment the thought crossed the Demon King's mind, phantom weapons mixed with punitive arrows rained down on him.

The first to be hit, the Phantom Sword from the Devourer of the End, emitted an effect resembling the flow of ley line energy the instant the Demon King slammed it into the ground with his fist. Then—

boom!
