88: Demon? Could he be scarier than the Devil Lord?
Whoosh~
The kingdom's citizens and cabinet ministers in the square knelt down in droves in an instant.
"Demon Lord, this person is a murderer, an evil representative from hell. If this person is not eliminated, the kingdom will not have a single day of peace."
"For the kingdom, for the countless citizens."
"Please, Moon Queen, order the execution of this demon and restore peace and tranquility to our Moon Shadow Kingdom!"
The Minister of Political Affairs, Gregory, with his hair completely white, deep-set eyes, and a face full of wrinkles, spoke righteously, almost in tears, in an accusation that filled everyone in the square with righteous indignation.
"If the demon is not eliminated, the kingdom will not be at peace!"
"Please, Your Majesty, slay the demon!"
The kneeling citizens all bowed their heads.
But.
Chrono, who had been shouting the loudest, was now silent.
In the distance.
Mitsui Satoshi and his group of Sakura Country players were all dumbfounded.
Because...
Following the Moon Queen's voice, what appeared before everyone was the familiar Crystal Throne.
On the throne.
There were only two people in total.
The Moon Queen.
Mitsui Satoshi didn't recognize her.
But Demon Lord, he knew him.
"It's you!"
Mitsui Satoshi's eyes almost spat fire when he saw his enemy.
"Demon Lord, you still dare to appear, you scoundrel! Let go of the princess, kneel down and die at once!"
What princess?
Isn't that the Moon Queen?
Chrono suddenly awoke, his eyes full of disbelief, saying, "Your Majesty, Moon Queen, you... you are..."
An illusion?
I said the Moon Queen had fallen.
But Your Majesty, Moon Queen, you can't really have fallen, can you?
Chrono rubbed his eyes and looked again.
Her Majesty, the Moon Queen, who was usually calm, composed, and as aloof as the moon, was now radiating a sacred light, more beautiful and ethereal than ever before.
It's just...
That aloof aura was nowhere to be found.
Because.
Our Moon Queen was currently leaning shyly in a man's arms, like a young woman.
Chrono saw clearly and confirmed it.
But for a moment.
He didn't know whether to be happy that the Moon Queen had truly fallen, or angry that she had truly fallen.
Next to him.
The Minister of Political Affairs, Gregory, saw this scene and was so angry that his wrinkled face trembled as he said:
"Demon!"
"You truly are a demon!"
At the same time.
The Sakura Country players present also felt like they were going crazy.
"Is that... is that the Moon Queen?!"
"Impossible!"
"Yesterday he was holding the princess, how is he holding the Moon Queen today?"
"It must be fake, right?"
"This can't be real."
"Our Majesty, the aloof Moon Queen, how could she be held by a Huaxia person?"
"It must be fake, I don't believe it!"
At least half of the Sakura Country players present went mad, preferring to die than believe it was true.
As for the other half, their eyes were practically bleeding.
"Damn it!"
"I'm going to kill him, kill him!!!"
"Thunderstorm: Heavenly Lightning Flash!"
Mitsui Satoshi had lost his sanity. He chanted a spell, and lightning condensed in his staff.
But.
Before his magic could be cast, his own head exploded in the sky.
"Kill!"
"Demon Lord is a demon, no need to reason with him, kill him!!!"
All the Sakura Country players roared.
They had come to kill Demon Lord.
Among the four major guilds, almost all players who had no tasks and were near the Royal Capital came, if they could.
If it weren't for the crowded square, they wouldn't have been able to squeeze in.
The sheer number of Sakura Country players alone could have filled Star Moon Lake!
Lin Ye said nothing.
Phantom flashed to both sides, summoning a doppelganger.
An arrow rain...
Fell from the sky above the square without warning.
In an instant.
Thousands of arrows flew out.
Bang bang bang bang~
Anyone hit by an arrow was instantly pierced through and exploded on the spot.
Moon Shadow Kingdom had the most mages.
But most of the mages present today died on the spot, pierced by arrows before they could even deploy their magic shields.
- 1,370,000
- 1,320,045
- 2,771,100 Critical Hit!
.......
Terrifying damage.
All above a million.
But.
Neither the players nor the kingdom officials present had the presence of mind to care how terrifying the damage was.
Because.
The truly terrifying explosions had already spread through the crowd.
Boom boom boom!
Rings of void explosion shockwaves directly obliterated everyone within their range.
No one survived!
Even with a magic shield, it couldn't withstand the continuous explosions.
Death!
In just a few breaths.
More than half of the crowd in the sky had died.
And on the ground?
It was completely cleared.
The entire square was a bloody red, with no standing figures to be seen.
Neither players, nor citizens, nor officials, nor Magic Association members.
All annihilated!
No one survived.
Blood splattered across the sky.
Star Moon Lake, usually clear to the bottom and mirroring the sky like a mirror, was now bathed in a rain of blood.
The scene was so tragic.
Even Hutton, the Captain of the Royal Guards, who had seen battlefields before, felt a chill down his spine and broke out in cold sweat.
Buzz!
A magic barrier suddenly expanded before everyone.
Clang clang clang~
The furious arrow rain was finally blocked by the magic.
"Hah~ Hah!"
Chrono gasped for air.
Fear, astonishment, and panic appeared in his eyes simultaneously.
If it weren't for his equipment's automatic protection.
He would have died too.
The Demon Lord before him was not a demon... but more terrifying than a demon!
Demons kill indiscriminately.
He does too.
Demons kill countless people.
He kills even more.
Demons are reckless.
He...
If he isn't a demon, then what is he?!
Damn it~
Could he be an existence more terrifying than the demons of hell?
"Your Majesty, Moon Queen, please wake up and see what this demon is doing!?" Chrono roared.
The Moon Queen heard him, but only glanced lightly, coldly saying:
"When needed, you call me 'Moon Queen' so intimately."
"When not needed, you want to force me into slumber?"
"You, the Magic Association, are truly formidable~"
The Moon Queen hadn't thought to be on guard before, but that didn't mean she didn't know how to be. At this moment, even if the people here died, her eyes would not show the slightest hint of regret.
"Since my awakening, I have always felt that whether it was the cabinet, the council, or the subjects and the Magic Association, they were all the most standard 'insiders'."
"It was you who awakened me."
"We should have worked together to resist the crisis."
"But what happened?"
"Financial power was usurped, royal authority was usurped, and there was an inside job to assassinate the princess, and that wasn't even the end of it. Now you're even trying to force me out and force me back into slumber?"
After speaking.
The Moon Queen ignored him, only whispering to Lin Ye:
"Chrono is the vice-president of the Magic Association, and his strength is not bad. If you can't break through that large-scale spatial defense magic..."
I can't?
Lin Ye almost laughed in anger.
"Stop, it's not that I can't, it's just that I've run out of arrows, thank you."
Oh~
The Moon Queen nodded slightly with a half-smile, then extended her hand, her fingertips tapping in the air.
The next second.
The waters of Star Moon Lake flowed backward.
Moonlight bloomed, and moon essence condensed into frost.
The lake water merged with the moonlight, instantly solidifying into arrows.
[Frost Moon Arrow]
