Roaming through the world of Doraemon

Da Xiong stared at the figure in the mist. Judging from the outline, it didn't look like a demon. Demons usually act in groups, and the few demons that act alone have irregular bodies. There was no such thing as a human-shaped demon.

It wasn't until the figure in the fog ran into Nobita that he could see who it was.

Miyako?

Nobita frowned, somewhat puzzled. Had Miyako ended the battle so quickly? And she even ran up from the other side of the mountain.

"It's Miyako! I'm so glad you're alright!" Doraemon almost burst into tears when he saw who it was, thinking he would never see Miyako again.

Miyako's forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat, and her clothes were somewhat tattered, revealing her incredibly white skin and a large, mysterious area around her chest, which gave off an inexplicable allure.

"Miyako, did you defeat the demon army so quickly?" Doraemon asked.

“Yes… I’ve wiped out half of the demon army, but if we continue to drag this out, it will be a losing proposition. I have no choice but to retreat temporarily, leaving my clone there. If we just dodge, I think we can hold out for a while longer.” Miyako took a deep breath and said slowly.

Nobita was relieved to see that Miyako was alright. "It's good that she's alright. Let's go straight to the Heroes' Cemetery."

After saying that, the three of them walked towards the golden mist ahead.

But as they got closer to the golden mist, Nobita found his legs to feel as heavy as lead, and eventually he could barely move.

"Could this be the barrier of the Heroes' Graveyard?" Miyako murmured, a glint of light flashing in her eyes.

"Hero Barrier? Narniadis left it behind? No wonder it's so difficult to walk now." Doraemon took out the pressure lift and adjusted the pressure in the vicinity back to normal before approaching the place where the Demon World Journey was placed.

At the very top of the Tomb of Heroes, a stone platform protruded, upon which rested a scroll. However, when Da Xiong reached out to grab it, an invisible force sent him flying.

Touching his numb buttocks, Nobita was somewhat puzzled. The power of this nodule was simply too great; it had directly sent him flying. However, Nobita still gained something from this experience. The spiritual energy of this nodule was structured the same as the spiritual energy of this Hero's Tomb, except that it had an added restriction. It was still possible to force the nodule to open using his own spiritual energy.

"What should we do...? The barrier is just too powerful." Miyako said dejectedly, "If it had been any later... Dad might have been in danger."

"Don't worry... there will definitely be a way," Doraemon comforted, his face full of helplessness.

"I have a way, watch me." Da Xiong walked to the edge of the Demon Realm, his eyelids lowered, and his mental power began to surge out like a tidal wave, impacting the knot. However, the knot was much stronger than he had imagined.

Under normal circumstances, even if Nobita's mental strength is twenty times stronger than that of a normal person, he still wouldn't be able to break through it, because this is not something that can be stopped by being twenty times stronger.

But at this moment, it was as if someone had pried open a hole in the top of the entire Heroes' Cemetery with an axe. All the spiritual energy in the world was drawn in and poured into this hole, as if endless spiritual energy was repeatedly impacting the nodules.

As the number of impacts increased, cracks began to appear in the nodule. Once cracks appeared, it was only a matter of time before the 917 nodule broke open.

A confident smile curved Da Xiong's lips. He took a deep breath and increased the amount of mental energy he poured into the opening. To break through quickly, he had to push his mental energy to its limit. However, this was also a test for Da Xiong. If his mental energy became too strong for him to control, he would suffer a backlash.

However, after a close call, the nodules were finally destroyed by Nobita's attack.

Nobita collapsed to the ground. Such an overload of mental energy was a test for both his body and mind. If his mental energy was not strong, he would be crushed instantly.

As the knot broke, the spiritual power of the entire mountain gradually weakened. This was because Nobita had used up all the spiritual power of the mountain in order to destroy the knot. It was a last resort to obtain the Demon Realm Journey. If there hadn't been a knot, the Demon Realm Journey would have been obtained by the Great Demon King long ago.

"Ah...that's great, Nobita, you're amazing!!" Doraemon's voice rose several decibels. As the knot disappeared, the golden mist also dissipated, leaving only an ancient scroll lying quietly on the stone platform.

Chapter Thirty-Seven: Lunar Balance

"Is this... the journey through the Demon Realm?"

Miyako held the ancient scroll in her hands and examined it carefully, a cunning glint in her eyes.

"Haha... I finally got it." Just then, Miyako's appearance began to gradually become ferocious, and her body began to change, turning into a snake with two venomous snakes coiled on her hair.

"What!!!" Doraemon was immediately startled. How could Miyako be Medusa, or rather... Medusa disguised as Miyako? And wasn't Medusa chased away by Miyako and Nobita long ago?

"Haha, didn't expect that, did you...? I captured your Miyako a long time ago. If you hadn't broken this barrier, I wouldn't have been able to obtain the Demon Realm Journey!" Medusa said smugly, flicking her tongue. "Now... you're at your wits' end, and now I'm here to take your lives!"

"Speak!" Medusa said, as the two snakes on her head unleashed a sharp ray.

However, Nobita had already experienced this ray when it was far away in the forest. As long as it touched a little, it would turn into stone. This is what makes Medusa so powerful.

Nobita's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile. He wasn't panicked. From the moment he first saw Miyako, he had been puzzled. If Miyako was going to fight those scumbags from the Demon Legion, even if she could win, it would still take time, right? Even if she had enough time... how did Miyako run up the mountain so fast? Was she flying?

But if they flew, they would definitely be spotted by the flock of blood crows in the sky. Nobita and Doraemon flew at extremely low altitudes to avoid those demons in the sky. However, it seems that Miyako reached the top of the mountain faster than he did. And how did she know that he would be here in such a thick fog?

There's something fishy going on here. Nobita noticed this from the beginning, but he pretended not to say anything, wanting to see who this Miyako really was. But he didn't expect her to be Medusa. It seems he hasn't learned his lesson from last time.

Nobita immediately used his mental power to create a protective shield in front of him, blocking all the attacks.

"How is this possible... How do you still have magic power?!" Medusa exclaimed in shock. Wasn't Nobita just so weak that he collapsed? The mental energy required to untie this knot was unprecedentedly huge. How could he still have mental energy now!

"Hehe, you always have to hold back, especially against you despicable demons. How could I possibly use up all my spiritual power? I'll at least save some to deal with you, won't I?" Nobita didn't want to hold back at this moment, because in the original story, Medusa was Miyako's mother. However, in order to cure Miyako's illness, she made a deal with a demon and fell into the demon world.

Da Xiong chanted a spell, and a spark appeared from his fingertip. Then, the sparks surged out wildly, like a roaring torrent that instantly raised the temperature of the world. Wherever the flames touched, everything was burned to charcoal.

Medusa frowned sharply, her pupils shrinking to pinpoints. The area covered by the flames was too large; even if she wanted to dodge them, she would have to pay a heavy price.

But at that moment, Nobita used his teleportation ability, which he had practiced at home, to rush to Medusa's feet and snatch the Demon World Journey from her hands in one swift motion.

Medusa had to face raging flames while also trying to reclaim the Demon Scroll, but since she couldn't create a clone to do both at the same time, she had no choice but to sacrifice herself for the greater good.

Driven by fear of death or by instinct, Medusa chose to avoid the deadly flames, but the flames still struck her, though they cleaved her vitals. Otherwise, if she had chased after Nobita, she would have been engulfed by the flames.

Medusa let out a wail and gave up the fight. Wounded, she knew that the best course of action was to flee. Clutching her abdominal wound, she disappeared from Nobita's sight at lightning speed.

"Nobita, are you alright? Miyako... how could this be..." Doraemon rushed over, his face full of disappointment. He had finally managed to see Miyako, but her true form was Medusa. Miyako had been captured and her fate was unknown. Just thinking about it was enough to make him sad.

"It should be fine. Now that we have the Demon World Chronicle, we should have a way to defeat the Demon King. We can go and rescue Miyako and her uncle later." Nobita took a deep breath and opened the ancient Demon World Chronicle. There weren't many inscriptions on it, just a picture of a moon emitting moonlight, and the demons under the moon being reduced to ashes by the moonlight.

Could it be that the moon can restrain demons? That should be possible, but if we're going to deal with the Demon King, then what can moonlight do?

Nobita couldn't help but wonder. There were no more hints on the scroll, but that was enough for him. There's always a way out.

"Let's go straight to the Demon Realm now. Medusa should bring Miyako back to the Demon Realm too, and we'll rescue them together!" Nobita's eyes burned with fierce fighting spirit. He absolutely couldn't let demons rule the Earth.

"Go straight to the Demon Realm Star?" Doraemon looked somewhat surprised, then took out two gadgets, Gai, from his pocket.

"Silkworm cocoon wrapper!"

Doraemon tied the silk thread in his hand to his body and then started spinning violently. The cocoon automatically adhered to Doraemon's body, covering every inch of his skin, making him look like a white mummy.

"What...is this for?" Nobita couldn't help but ask, as he didn't seem to recognize this gadget.

"This cocoon is very hard. It would be very dangerous to go to the Demon Realm. Wrapping myself in it will provide more protection. Besides, cocoons can keep you warm. Who knows if the Demon Realm is another Arctic!" Doraemon wrapped Nobita in the cocoon.

The bamboo dragonfly is too slow to fly to the Demon Realm Star, so let's just take a rocket.

Then Doraemon took out a small rocket that was two meters long from his pocket.

"Quick, get on, we're off!" Doraemon took the lead, and after Nobita got on, the rocket suddenly burst into flames and shot off in an instant, so fast that it was difficult for the naked eye to catch it.

Chapter Thirty-Eight: Rescue

Nobita and Doraemon rode a rocket, breaking through the atmosphere and arriving in space.

In this magical world, the universe has air, a concept that Nobita finds quite strange.

"Nobita, look at that moon...it's so beautiful." Doraemon exclaimed, gazing at the enormous moon half-hidden behind the Earth. The moon in the magical world shone like a dazzling diamond, its gentle light like a guiding light in the darkness of the universe.

"Moonlight... Demon Realm Star".

Nobita gazed at the other side of Earth, where the moonlight couldn't reach. A huge black planet was rapidly approaching Earth, its black flames like the hem of Death's robe, sharpening its blades menacingly towards Earth.

"Then... let's charge!"

"I said softly, my voice full of determination," Da Xiong said.

"Are you ready?" Doraemon asked without hesitation.

Da Xiong nodded.

The rocket, like a lone boat adrift in the universe, emitted a faint light. As it approached the Demon Realm Star, the light grew dimmer and dimmer, until it was finally swallowed up by endless black flames.

　917 After entering the Demon Realm Star, Nobita felt dizzy and the rocket exploded due to the high temperature. Nobita and Doraemon were unharmed because of the protection of the cocoon. Their bodies were falling rapidly, and the high temperature generated by the fall gradually penetrated the silk and touched their skin.

Nobita and Doraemon are now so dizzy from the impact of the fall that they can hardly cast any magic spells, let alone stabilize themselves.

"Hang in there... Nobita... We're almost at the bottom!!"

Nobita vaguely heard Doraemon shouting in his ear.

The cocoons on the two people's bodies began to burn away, but at the last moment, the cocoons still played a crucial role.

Doraemon saw the white snow beneath his feet and quickly rummaged through his pockets. Due to the force of the impact, he managed to pull out the bamboo copter at the last moment before it touched the ground. Doraemon hurriedly placed the bamboo copter on his and Nobita's heads, fearing that if he was too late, the two would be smashed to pieces.

"(agff) Thank goodness... thank goodness." Thanks to the bamboo copter, Doraemon stabilized himself in the air, patted his belly, and took a deep breath. He almost died!

Nobita was almost knocked unconscious by the impact; if Doraemon hadn't given him his bamboo copter at the last moment, he probably would have been in heaven by now.

"We've arrived in... the Demon Realm!" Nobita said slowly, looking around at his surroundings.

In the original storyline, Nobita was supposed to go to the Demon World with Miyako, Gian, and Suneo, but due to the timeline, only Nobita and Doraemon arrived at the Demon World.

The loss in combat effectiveness was more than just a small amount.

This is not the time for lamenting.

Nobita suddenly saw a dark mass of demons in the distance and quickly pulled Doraemon to hide in a cave. This must be a one-star demon army. It turns out that in the story, the demon army would come here to patrol around at this time. It seems that what he thought was right.

"Tsk tsk... Look at this stuff... It must have been left behind by humans." A one-star demon from the demon legion, riding a dragon, said, looking at the charred silk in his hand.

"Haha, humans actually dare to come into the Demon Realm? Aren't they just courting death?" another demon quipped.

"They're... a race on the verge of extinction, and they still want to fight to the death? It's utterly ridiculous!"

The demons weren't too worried about humans coming to their world, because it was their home turf, and defeating them was practically impossible!

"Search...search them out, and then...eat them!!" the one-star demon said confidently.

The demon army then launched a thorough search.

Nobita frowned. It seemed that the timeline and reality were somewhat different; these demons were intelligent, independent individuals.

"Nobita... come with me!" Doraemon suddenly produced a pair of gloves that looked like a mole's, and then he started digging into the ground with both hands.

Nobita quickly followed Doraemon and went inside.

Led by Doraemon, the two managed to escape the demons' search area. As soon as Nobita and Doraemon emerged from the mud, they saw the demon army flying overhead, seemingly heading back to the demons' stronghold.

It is not too late.

Nobita and Doraemon put the bamboo copter on their heads and secretly followed the demon army until the demon army flew to a huge island. Only then did Nobita and Doraemon change their course.

Nobita, who had just landed on land, looked at the huge castle in the distance and felt a headache coming on. Forcing his way in was out of the question.
