"Oh, Kazuma, you actually have some hidden tricks up your sleeve? Show them to that demon king and let him know how powerful we are!"
"Alright, watch closely, ~breathe~breathe~, goodbye!"
Aqua, who had expected Kazuma to use some kind of ultimate move, was stunned as she watched Kazuma's retreating figure. She was just abandoned like that.
"Ugh, damn it, wait for me!"
Aqua followed after him in a flash, running and crying as she loudly complained about how utterly inhumane this was.
Mo Li wasn't in the mood to play with them right now; Eris's demonization was about to be completed.
The skeptical believers still tried to help the goddess, but as soon as they got close, they were tainted by the demonic aura and began to attack the surrounding buildings and residents in a frenzy.
The time was ripe, and Mo Li revealed his true form, his demonic aura sweeping across the entire area.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Mo Li approached Eris, extended his hand, and loudly announced:
"From this day forward, Eris will be a member of my Demon King's army!"
The believers below the stage trembled as they looked at Mo Li’s familiar face. Some knelt on the ground begging for mercy, while others even fainted on the ground.
"That's... the Demon King—!!!"
"Run, everyone! The Demon King is coming!"
"Eris is a traitor! What kind of goddess is she? She's a complete fraud!"
"So that's how it is! Defeat Eris! Defeat the Demon King!"
Gradually, the adventurers gathered together, but none of them dared to take the first step.
The Demon King's reputation is simply too great; even a Sword Saint and a Grand Magister couldn't defeat him, so how could these adventurers possibly possibly be able to?
Mo Li looked at the group of timid adventurers in front of him, a slight smile playing on his lips. He raised his hand and released a burst of demonic flame.
The flames instantly illuminated the sky, and at that very moment, an urgent report came from within the capital city:
"Demon King's Army Attack Alert! Demon King's Army Attack Alert! A group suspected to be the Demon King's army has begun appearing on the plains near the capital. Knights, prepare to attack!"
"This Demon King's army is enormous. All adventurers in the capital are requested to join the battle. High-level adventurers, please assemble in front of the royal city immediately!"
Chapter 320 Kazuma Sato, beaten to death by kobolds
The sound of the amplified magic device resounded throughout the entire capital. The Demon King's army was attacking the city, which meant that the Demon King's army had broken through the Southern Empire's defenses and was heading straight for the capital.
Upon hearing the sound, Mo Li's lips curled up slightly, and he pulled Eris along as they entered the Divine Might Space.
The adventurers below, seeing the Demon King disappear, sat down on the ground, back to back, their backs already soaked with sweat.
He was panting heavily, looking like he had just survived a disaster.
Mo Li arrived at the outskirts of the capital and saw that the city gates were already filled with well-organized, heavily armed knights and numerous adventurers.
Everyone crowded together; Mo Li wouldn't miss such a good opportunity.
"MetatronArtelif: Angel of Annihilation!"
The floating cannons behind Mo Li were arranged together to form a crown-shaped cannon barrel.
Some adventurers looked up and noticed this movement, and immediately shouted:
"The Demon King and Eris have appeared! Everyone be careful!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a thick yellow laser beam shot towards the assembly point.
With a loud "boom," a large hole was blasted into the ground, killing all the adventurers and knights within the area.
Some of the great mages who had realized what was happening gathered together, raised their staffs, and formed a transparent protective wall.
870 At the same time, the number of Demon King Points in Mo Li's body began to rise wildly, indicating that the attack just now had provided him with a lot of Demon King Points.
Since the enemy already had defenses, Mo Li didn't stay any longer. Instead, he brought Eris into the Demon King's army.
Saber, Esdeath, Najenda, Susanoo, Kotori, Tohka, Origami, Miku, Kurumi, Galadriel, Nia, Wiz, and all their family members gathered together.
Mo Li looked out at the endless army of demon kings, waved his hand, and shouted a command:
"All troops—move out!"
"For the Demon Lord, kill them all!!!"
The Demon King's army clashed with the hastily assembled army of the capital, and the great battle had begun.
On the capital side, perhaps to encourage the knights and adventurers, nobles led by Dustinis also gathered in front of the city.
What they didn't know was that the proud Duke Dustinis had already defected to the Demon King's army.
Just then, a figure appeared on the balcony of the royal city; it was the princess of this country—Alice.
Alice, dressed in royal armor with a long sword at her waist, slowly opened her arms.
"Brave adventurers, the future of the nation is in your hands. The goddess Eris has betrayed us, and now only we ourselves can protect the capital."
"I hereby declare in the name of the royal family that all Eris cults within the territory are hereby abolished, Eris will no longer be used as currency, and all statues of the goddess Eris shall be toppled..."
"Great believers, I know you are angry because of the goddess's betrayal. Now is the time for you to vent your anger. Your enemies are ahead. Conquer them!"
"Ooh o ...
Alice's speech completely condemned Eris as part of the Demon King's army, and also ignited the anger of all the believers.
The collapse of faith meant that Eris had lost her right to be a goddess.
The sacred aura was constantly dissipating, replaced by the aura of demons and the power of evil.
Mo Li glanced at Eris, who had undergone a transformation beside her, chuckled softly, and said to her:
"Congratulations, Eris, you have finally become the new demon."
"Why...why did you..."
"This is just one of the punishments, Eris. I'll teach you a lesson when we get back to the Demon King's Castle!"
After hearing Mo Li's words, Eris's face darkened, as if there was nothing left in the world for her to cherish.
As the first goddess Mo Li subdued, he had many questions to ask her.
But for now, let's shift our attention to the battlefield.
Yoshino, Esdeath, and Wiz, three masters of ice, directly transformed a portion of the terrain into an ice field.
The three seemed to be competing with each other, and began a frenzied slaughter on the battlefield.
"Charge! My servants, Ice Knights, crush the enemy!"
"Ice Magic, Crystal Ice Coffin!"
"Divine Armor - Fourth Form: Ice Puppet (Zadkiel)!"
Mo Li had been worried that Yoshino would go easy on him, but it seems he was overthinking it; she had no such concerns at all.
The others also activated their combat mode, sending countless corpses flying with a single strike.
The Demon King Points have already surpassed the 100,000 mark and are still increasing at a frenzied rate.
Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out on the battlefield, followed by a violent explosion.
"I am Megumin, the foremost archmage of the Crimson Demon Clan, in the name of fire, Explosion!"
With a single burst of magic, the Demon King's army suffered heavy losses.
Its power is even greater than before; it seems that Megumin's strength has increased again after being reincarnated as a demon.
Furthermore, Megumin is no longer limited to using Explosion Magic only once; she now has enough magic power to cast a second and a third spell.
Just as Huihui was about to unleash her Explosion Magic again, Youyou arrived in front of her and stopped her.
"Youyou, are you still going to help that demon king?"
“That’s right, Huihui. Mr. Mo Li is the only person who doesn’t look down on me. He was the first person to ask to be friends with me. He was the first person to give me confidence. No matter what decision he makes, I will always support him!”
"You idiot, you've been completely brainwashed by him. In that case, I won't hold back."
"Come on, Megumin, my formidable rival, lose to me once again!"
Before Megumin could cast her Explosion spell, Yoyo cast a teleportation spell first, bringing Megumin to a valley.
Here they can express themselves freely without affecting others.
Mo Li nodded to himself as he watched Youyou and Huihui disappear. Although he didn't care about the lives of those demon king soldiers, they were still his subordinates, and he couldn't just watch them die.
"Waaaaaah, Kazuma, help me! I'm going to be eaten! Waaaaaah!"
"You idiot, don't come any closer! Lead them away, you bastard!"
Kazuma shouted loudly as he ran away, afraid of being implicated by Aqua.
Because of Aqua's ability to attract the undead, some low-level demons have been chasing after her everywhere.
Mo Li had envisioned a battle between a demon king and a hero, but before he could even appear on the battlefield, Kazuma had already been killed by the kobolds.
That's right, those low-level kobolds who were ganged up on and beaten to death.
Mo Li's face twitched. He covered his forehead and sighed helplessly. This year's heroes are really weak.
However, quite a few high-level adventurers led their knightly orders in a counterattack against the Demon King's army.
However, it was clear that Mo Li's retinue was stronger and defeated the attacking knights.
"Where is Eris? Charge! Kill this deceitful witch!"
"Charge! Defeat Eris! Defeat the Demon King!"
A group of Eris cultists suddenly appeared on the battlefield, their eyes filled with rage, and launched an attack on Eris in the sky, their multicolored magical attacks illuminating the heavens.
Eris's eyes were filled with sorrow, and she thought that being killed by the cultists was a good thing.
Unfortunately, a tornado suddenly rose from the ground, blocking all the incoming magical attacks.
"Hmph, the main characters always make their appearance at the last minute, right, Yuzuru!"
"Point it out. Yagyuuya isn't the main character at all; the main character should be Yuzuru!"
"Ah, I would never let you have something like that, Yuzuru!"
"Definitely. Kaguya lacks the talent to be the protagonist; only Yuzuru is the most suitable."
Chapter 321 The Artifact for Body Swap, Alice's Decision
The battle continued into the night, and Mo Lidu was somewhat surprised by the strength of the royal army's resistance.
They had hoped to take over the capital in one fell swoop, but now it seems that was a bit of an overstatement.
The royal capital is not like Axel; the adventurers here are all of very high level, and with the cooperation of the knights, they have been able to defend against wave after wave of attacks from the Demon King's army.
Watching the Demon King's army retreat, the adventurers breathed a sigh of relief, their physical exhaustion instantly washing over them.
They were able to withstand the Demon King's army's attack entirely because the King and Prince led the main force back to reinforce them.
Although the king's main force was being pushed back at the front, they showed considerable perseverance in the defensive battle. Coupled with the superhuman abilities of the reincarnated members in the team, they finally made it through the long day.
Mo Li was truly surprised to find that there was someone in the adventurer's party who could fight on par with Tohka, Artoria, and other familiars.
According to the whispered tales, these people were reincarnated from Japan by Aqua, and each of them possesses a cheat-like artifact. Some of them have been in this other world for even longer than Mo Li.
This was something Mo Li had never considered: these people weren't heroes, but they were even more troublesome than Sato Kazuma.
I didn't want to use my trump card, but you guys cheated first.
Therefore, Mo Li summoned his strongest warriors, Mio Takamiya and Mayuri, to the battlefield.
At the same time, the list of reincarnated individuals was handed over to Night Raid, led by Akame, to carry out the decapitation plan.
That night, the Night Raiders concealed themselves and infiltrated the capital in their own ways.
As for the battle between Youyou and Huihui, Huihui ultimately lost due to insufficient magic power and was captured by Youyou. She was taken back to the Demon King's army and imprisoned by Moli.
Wangdu, conference room.
Since the king was wounded in battle, the command responsibility was handed over to Prince Jedis.
A group of adventurers gathered in the conference room, including the resurrected Kazuma and the dazzling Aqua, while Princess Alice stood behind Jedis.
"Thank you all for your great help today. If it weren't for you all, the Southern Empire would probably have already fallen into the hands of the Demon King. Jedis thanks you all!"
"No, no, no, it was Prince Jedis's skillful command that enabled us to withstand the Demon King's army's attack!"
"Yeah, yeah, today was really exhilarating! Even the Demon King is nothing special!"
