The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

His child is still alive!

After searching the forest all day, he was almost ready to give up!

"Daddy!" Maggie cried out excitedly, wanting to rush forward, but her brother stood by her side and held her back.

Because at that very moment, dozens of arrows and flintlock guns were already aimed at her, and pairs of eyes were filled with terror.

"Wait, don't go over yet!" Andy whispered sharply, pulling his sister behind him, nervously watching the fellow villagers as though they were facing a great enemy.

Meanwhile, upon seeing his child being pointed at with guns, the man holding the firearm seemed to go mad and aimed his gun at the villagers beside him.

"That's my child! What the hell do you think you're doing?!"

The crowd became chaotic!

The villagers standing next to the man immediately lunged forward, scrambling for his weapon, struggling to wrest the firearm from his hands.

"Have you lost your mind?!"

"Put the weapon down now!"

"The ones who've lost their minds are you!" the man roared, gripping the firearm tightly and refusing to let go until he was knocked to the ground with the butt of a gun.

"No—!" Seeing her father knocked to the ground, Maggie let out a mournful cry, her eyes turning red.

"Calm down, Dave! That's a demon's illusion!"

Brook grabbed the man's collar forcefully, hoisted him up from the ground, and roared furiously, spitting with anger.

"These demons are flesh-eaters who leave nothing behind! Look at their rosy faces, and then look at your own! Does that look like someone who's been in the snow all day? Wake up! Your child is already dead!"

This was not just his belief but also the first reaction of everyone present.

Hearing the sound coming from the Translation Crystal, Shark East and West, flying behind the two children, suddenly revealed a surprised expression.

"I have this ability?!"

Maggie stared blankly at Uncle Brook who was roaring, her face full of sorrow.

She couldn't understand why the uncle who always had endless stories and used to wear a pumpkin head to make her and Andy laugh would turn into this figure more terrifying than a demon...

Right at this moment, an imposing voice suddenly floated out from behind the fence wall, descending above everyone outside the gate.

"What are you doing at the gate of my territory?"

At the same moment the voice fell, a cloaked figure appeared atop the fence wall without anyone noticing.

The man had deep purple hair, sharp and cold eyes, a face so chiseled it seemed almost inhuman, and a straight nose akin to a castle's spire.

The fluttering snowflakes seemed nonexistent to him; they vanished upon touching his shoulders, their whereabouts unknown.

The moment he saw that face, Brook felt every single hair on his body stand on end, an all-encompassing fear crawling through his being.

The intuition of a former adventurer told him that even with a hundred—or even a thousand—of himself, there was no chance of defeating the man before him!

This guy was terrifyingly powerful!

As the Lord Demon King suddenly appeared on the wall, the players' expressions varied. Some showed a look of mild amusement, some had eager anticipation, and others cried out in surprise.

"Holy crap!"

"We actually lured the Lord Demon King out!"

Andy and Maggie stared in awe at the man on the wall, their bewildered faces revealing a hint of fear, behind which lurked an unexpectedly deep sense of reverence.

Children's instincts are sometimes sharper than adults'.

From the way the surrounding undead and demons looked at the man, they could feel a genuine respect emanating from them.

There could only be one explanation for this—

That man was the leader of these demons! None other than the fabled Lord Demon King!

And simultaneously their savior, the one who provided them with the lifesaving magic potion...

Luo Yan stood on the fence wall, overlooking the refugees outside, particularly the ones fighting. His dignified face remained indifferent.

Initially watching from the shadows, amused, he hadn't intended to intervene, planning to let the players handle everything themselves. But alas, this crop of players had remarkably poor initiative, all of them simply eating popcorn and watching the drama unfold, waiting for the plot to advance on its own...

Seeing these desperate refugees about to recklessly throw themselves into the flames, he finally couldn't help but step in.

There was no other choice.

He just couldn't fully stop himself from acting human, and he had to admit that in this regard, he wasn't as ruthless as Reggie Dragon.

Looking at Luo Yan standing on the fence wall, the Holy Oak Village head, Pierre, gazed at him with fear, his lips trembling as he spoke.

"Who… who are you?"

He had actually already guessed; this figure before him was highly likely to be the undead mage who loomed over this region.

But what he hadn't anticipated was that the truth before him was even more shocking than he had imagined...

"Who am I?" Luo Yan chuckled softly, speaking with a slightly playful tone, "I am the ruler of this Demon King Territory. Take a guess, what am I?"

Pierre stared at him in shock, his fearful eyes gradually turning to horror as he instinctively stepped back a pace.

Not just the old village chief, but the surrounding villagers were no different—the fear on their faces slowly shifted to despair.

The Demon King!

The one standing before them was the Demon King!

They no longer had the strength to discern the authenticity of these words, leaving the fear to spread unchecked in their hearts.

...Brook gritted his trembling teeth, but for the sake of the villagers behind him, he mustered the courage to draw the short sword at his waist, holding it firmly in his hand.
