Chapter 850: Gotcha

Chapter 850 -835: Gotcha

The werewolf’s claws were incredibly sharp, and the tips of the claws unleashed wind blades, slicing through the stones, shattering them.

However, when the wolf claws swept over the Demon King, his figure shattered like a bubble, merely an illusion.

Norris snapped out of his surprise upon suddenly seeing Karen and shouted anxiously, “That’s the Demon King, you’re no match! Run and tell the boss!”

But Karen didn’t run at all. Missing her target didn’t stop her; she charged directly in front of Norris.

“What doesn’t the boss know? There’s no need for me to tell! You’re the one who needs saving!” Karen said, swinging her wolf claws again, tearing apart the slime binding Norris, freeing him.

“Werewolf…” The Demon King’s voice came from above the two, containing a hint of nostalgia.

Unfortunately, this nostalgia did not buy them any time, as the magic power in the air began to gather in the Demon King’s palm.

“Run!”

Karen shouted, and Norris didn’t hesitate to turn and run.

He knew in his heart that the Demon King was not an opponent they could contend with together; stalling for time and waiting for the boss to rescue was their only way out.

However, Norris had just taken two steps when he noticed Karen hadn’t run.

She stood her ground, her already tall body further expanding, with claws and fur growing, transforming into a massive humanoid beast.

The werewolf’s frenzy!

Accompanied by a wolf’s howl, Karen shattered the ground, leaping into the sky, pouncing directly at the Demon King in mid-air.

Seeing this, all the rational choices Norris had considered before were thrown out the window. He forcibly stopped his escape and turned to charge in that direction.

He couldn’t leave a friend to fight while he ran away alone.

However, in just a few seconds late due to running and turning back, the outcome was decided over there.

Karen was engulfed in the air, with no way to dodge the air cannon directly smashing into the ground.

“Karen!” Norris spread the wings he was still not skilled at using, as magic power gathered in his chest.

But he couldn’t manage to take off.

[Stop]

Norris froze in the stance of about to fly up, forced to a halt.

[Status: Charm]

[Xiaonuo, your spiritual resistance is really high, but we’ve spent too much time together…]

Norris didn’t care about how his spiritual defense was breached; he just asked with difficulty, “Why?”

[For my soul, didn’t you know?]

[I just chose the path more likely to achieve the purpose, that’s all.]

“I thought… we were partners…” Norris’s eyes were filled with sorrow and disappointment.

The pages of the yellow-covered book stopped flipping. After a long silence, new words appeared.

[There’s no such thing as partners… You were too naive.]

The Demon King descended, reaching out to take the yellow-covered book from Norris’s hands.

“It seems I’ve made things difficult for you,” the Demon King said, looking at Norris who glared at him, yet didn’t get angry or strike, “Actually, it’s okay to let go; they are not important.”

[No need]

[Lord Demon King, you need me to store souls, this small talent is at your disposal]

[Let’s start now, perhaps ending sooner is not a bad thing for them]

The Demon King nodded, without further words, and flicked his fingers, shooting two streams of water that pierced through the foreheads of Karen and Norris.

Norris fell to the ground, sensing his life rapidly fading, clearly realizing he was about to die.

Strangely, he felt no pain at all. Was this perhaps some small mercy from the Demon King?

In his final moments, he didn’t look at the Demon King or the yellow-covered book again, but looked at Karen not far away.

Karen was also looking at him.

“I’m sorry, Karen…”

The huge and terrible wolf claw slowly reached out, placed in front of Norris.

The silver youth gave an apologetic smile, reaching out to grasp it.

“I’ve got you this time…” At this moment, Karen’s face showed a satisfied expression.

As everything quieted down, two new pages with golden edges grew out from the spine of the yellow-covered book and pressed together.

…

Several minutes later, Louisa, clad in magic crystal armor, arrived here with a team of elites.

Her battle armor was embedded with plenty of S-Class demon crystals, ready to be activated at any moment.

Behind her were some subordinates wearing the latest imitation magic crystal armor. However, their armor had significantly fewer nodes for embedding demon crystals, and instead of S-Class, they were A-Level demon crystals.

They had teleported urgently to the edge of the destroyed fungal mat, but obviously, they were a bit late.

Only the corpses of Norris and Karen remained here, and through a Puki from the team, Lin Jun could tell at a glance that their souls were no longer in their bodies.

Looking at Norris’s corpse, a gloominess appeared in Louisa’s eyes.

“Boss, is it…”

“It can only be something the Demon King did,” Puki looked up at the sky with its mushroom hat, “he must have flown over, avoiding ground surveillance! Important areas need more aerial Puki reconnaissance in the future.”

Little Pig nodded, then said, “I’ll speed up the search for the Demon King and mobilize the other races!”

However, Puki raised a tentacle and said, “No need, though he came silently, the teleportation had a magic power fluctuation!”

Currently, Lin Jun’s fungal mat almost covered the entire world.

Just now, Lin Jun sensed an extremely subtle abnormal magic power fluctuation from the dwarves’ Molten Fire Dungeon.

Not in the Underground City, no, probably hiding in the seal, evading previous searches until now!

Lin Jun was already coordinating with the dwarves to prepare to open the seal.

Seeing that the boss already had plans, Little Pig said no more and looked at the corpses of Norris and Karen.

“Boss, they…”

“Don’t worry, I have plans too!”

…

In the deep area of Pujie Dungeon, in a cave with a lake.

Several diving Puki jumped out of the lake, laboriously dragging out a carefully carved tombstone with more than ten tentacles.

They chose a spot, set up the tombstone, and dug a pit a few meters deep in front of it.

Soon, they teleported over the bodies of Karen and Norris.

The tombstone left by Old Dylan was finally used, and it was joint burial!

After burying the bodies left by Norris and Karen, Lin Jun planted several colorful glowing mushrooms next to the tombstone as decoration.

When there’s time, Old Dylan, Pink Puki, and the others can come to offer incense, though it doesn’t mean much since the souls are gone.

…

Just as Lin Jun finished arranging the grave, the [Spiritual] on the panel suddenly flickered.

The Demon King was connecting with the Pilot’s Seat again?

Or was he deliberately using this way to initiate a conversation?

Regardless, Old Deng had just broken his things, so Lin Jun had no reason not to go meet him.

Even though no attacks could be performed within the Pilot’s Seat, exchanging some trash talk would be good.

[Spiritual Trigger of Virtue]

In the next moment, Lin Jun’s consciousness arrived in a blank room.

With a thought, a door appeared.

Pushing the door open, it led to a white corridor with numerous doors on both sides, and a silhouette stood at the opposite end of the corridor.

Surprisingly, it wasn’t the Demon King, but the previous Hero who disappeared with the Demon King for months – Link.

Another Old Deng.
