They assassinated a local lord, they assassinated a group of lords, and then what?
The result was that only a group of elite warriors leveled up, while humanity as a whole did not make much progress.
She could almost see a terrifying future—
The hero grew stronger and stronger until the demons discovered that there was such a powerful race in the world.
Meanwhile, the demon army was pressing in, and humanity was powerless to fight back.
In the end, all of humanity was wiped out, leaving only the brave to eke out a living on a desolate land.
1. This is probably not the first time she's thought about something like this.
Lu, rather than saying... she often feels confused about these things.
The goal he wanted to achieve was too great, while he himself was so insignificant.
The current campaign against demons is no longer as simple as defeating a group of goblins.
After a year of hard work, her strength was only barely enough to deal with the minor nobles on the border of the demon race.
The heroes are currently conducting operations around the demon realm's borders. I guess the demon realm will soon become aware of the existence of humans.
An Yi sat silently beside him.
He seemed to see Lycorina, whom he knew in his past life, sitting here with the same worry, troubled about the future of humanity.
How did the saintess who led all of humanity to the end of the war ultimately manage to survive to that point?
An Yi had no idea.
In his past life, he was just a lone traveler. From his perspective, the heroes just inexplicably went very far.
In a war with almost no chance of victory, they managed to go all the way to the end, until the eve of victory.
Whether or not the Demon King was ultimately defeated is not important; what matters is that being able to reach the Demon King's castle is incredible in itself.
Humanity's current territory, when placed on a world map, is actually just a small piece of land in the very corner of the map.
If you cut it with scissors, you'll only get a small triangle.
Annie firmly believes that Lycorina can lead humanity to the end, but thinking about it that way, it really can be called a miracle.
"Never mind, there'll always be a way, right? There's no use thinking about it now," Lycorina said to herself.
"First of all, we need to improve the overall strength of the heroes."
"To the demons, what we're doing is nothing more than petty squabbles," An Yi said.
Actually, he also had something that made him uneasy, but if he were to give advice, it would be to continue what he was doing now.
The demon race rarely pays attention to humans; the death of one or two border nobles is nothing out of the ordinary for the demon race.
"But then, many demon lords were killed in different directions as well, right?"
"With so many lords killed, the demons surely wouldn't have missed it," Lycorina retorted.
"Hmm...that's true." An Yi nodded gently.
Although the death of one or two lords is nothing to the demon race, the result of a large number of warriors going on expeditions is that border lords die in droves.
The situation in Sanhe is different from that in his previous life.
In the previous life, heroes fought for three to five years, while lords were killed sporadically and irregularly, which was something that would happen naturally among the demons.
Liu is because the demon race needs to challenge lords in order to become lords themselves.
Gifted demons will emerge, and demon nobles will grow old; naturally, a portion of demon lords will be eliminated each year.
"I'm thinking about something..."
Licorina turned her golden eyes to An'i, her gaze intense;
The group was inspired by An Yi.
The inspiration I got from 'Dragon Messenger' and 'The Hunter'...
Exactly, could we disguise ourselves as demons and create a large organization known to the demons under the guise of 'hunting lords'?
They pretended to be a wicked 'demon organization' to avoid attracting the attention of the demon high command.
Just like the 'Dragon Messenger,' let's become a 'demon organization' that strikes fear into the hearts of demons!
An Yi nodded: "That's feasible."
There was barely any hesitation.
Yes, the current situation is different from the previous life, so we must make different decisions now.
It has to be said, this tactic is indeed feasible!
Without much discussion, they decided to return to human territory and reconsider their options.
One night passed, and the next day...
The heroes left Golden Lantern City and arrived at the small city opposite the Empire of Hope, slowly making their way out of the city.
This is the city where they first learned the demon language.
With Shingu carrying Blazer on his back, the three members of the Fighting Heroes team walked through the city, as if they had returned to the day they first entered the Demon Realm.
The heroes also have many memories of this place.
They walked almost the entire city, for an unknown amount of time, before finally returning to the city gate through which they had initially infiltrated.
The city gates were heavily guarded; it was no longer possible for them to swagger out from there.
After only a brief glance, the heroes turned back and headed towards the abandoned building they had once occupied.
Before the heroes could proceed, two pitifully small "demons," one tall and one short, walked toward them, seemingly heading in the opposite direction.
Two figures draped in black robes were not given much attention by the heroes, who only glanced at them briefly.
An Yi saw it too, and wondered if it was some kind of high-magic-powered demon cub, until...
His gaze met that of the slightly taller, petite figure.
hum-
Time stood still.
Time truly stood still; everything became frozen.
"Oh!"
Suddenly, the head of one of the heroes at the front of the group exploded!
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!!"
In An Yi's view, the heads of the heroes exploded one after another like watermelons, splattering blood everywhere!
The Halberd Warriors Squad, the Dragon Warriors Squad, the Sky Warriors Squad, and the Fighting Warriors Squad!
Next came Layton, Milco, and then Lycorina, who was standing next to him!
At last……
"wrong."
【see through】
In the blink of an eye, everything returned to normal.
This is an illusion.
"Hmph~~ It doesn't work on you~~? And you seem to know me~~."
What's going on? I don't know any humans like you!
Chapter 280 Sacred Technique: Ten Thousand Swords Return to One! (4k)
"Oh!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The same scene unfolded in the eyes of all the heroes.
The heroes around him, one by one, had their heads explode as they approached, until the explosion hit the closest comrade. He watched as his teammates, who had faced life and death together, died so easily in an instant.
Until... everything went black before my eyes.
[Death Hallucination]
This magic makes the recipient believe they are facing real death.
At the same instant, all the heroes lost their divine light and fell into a deeper illusion.
Only An Yi, in the blink of an eye, escaped the illusion.
This is a rather advanced form of mental magic. Even An Yi in his prime in his previous life would be momentarily disturbed by this magic.
The illusions of the world cannot shake the [Sword Heart], but that doesn't mean that top-tier mental magic can't even take effect.
All related magic must be applied first before it can be "seen through".
It's just that the low-level methods are seen through too quickly, so using them is no different from not using them at all.
Those affected by magic will not actually die, but until other heroes remove the negative status, they will believe they are already dead, thus becoming like a vegetable.
Unable to think or respond to the outside world.
The more resilient a warrior is, the faster they will recover from negative conditions, but...
The group of warriors around me, who are barely over level 300, may be trapped in the [Illusion of Death] forever until they are removed by a skill similar to [Purification].
"What's going on? I don't know any humans like you."
Have we met somewhere before? When you saw me, your eyes were different from the other heroes'.
"Ugh~ How disgusting~~" came the girl's voice.
At that moment, An Yi felt that the worst thing she had ever done in her life was to glance at the other person unintentionally on this street.
He recognized the face.
He is the strongest demon under the Demon King, the second Demon King in strength among demons—
Little devil!
