Seven Gods Guardian: Gun King Mission

At this moment, two dark figures emerged silently, like ghosts. They were shrouded in a mysterious aura, making it difficult to discern their true identities. As soon as these two mysterious figures appeared, their gazes fell directly on the two people in front of them.

Then, without the slightest hesitation, they knelt on one knee in unison, bowed their heads, and said in unison with great respect, "Greetings, Lord Demon!" and "Greetings, Lord Demon!"

The Demon Lord nodded slightly and responded calmly: "Well, get up." As soon as he finished speaking, the two men stood up quickly as if they had been pardoned.

The Demon Lord glanced at the two before him and asked slowly, "Left and right guardians, has anything unusual happened here? What's the current condition of the Blood Knife King's corpse we brought here earlier?"

Upon hearing this, the Left Guardian hurried forward and, with a bow, replied, "Your Excellency, the Blood Knife King's corpse remains within the Spirit Pond. So far, it appears to have not changed significantly. However, after being immersed in the Spirit Pond's waters, the wounds sustained have been completely healed. It's a shame, as it was brought in too late, the will within its brain is currently unconscious."

"I got it. You two continue to guard here and don't slack off! Sister, let's go in first." After the Demon Lord gave the order with a serious face, he pulled the demon into the mysterious and dark place.

"Yes, sir, please come in," the Left Protector responded respectfully, quickly stepping aside to allow the Demon Lord and the demon to pass through. His gaze followed the two figures as they gradually disappeared into the darkness, and a sense of awe welled up in his heart.

After the two of them had completely entered, the Right Guardian looked at the entrance shrouded in dark fog, frowning slightly. He lowered his voice and muttered to the Left Guardian beside him, "Tell me, after these two adults go in, do they really not need the direction signs in our hands? Why do I always feel that something is not right..."

Upon hearing this, the Left Protector pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head and said, "The Demon Lord's power is unfathomable, his divine powers vast, and his methods are beyond the comprehension of us mortals. Perhaps for them, they don't even need this small sign to find the right path."

The Right Guardian nodded slightly, but then, as if remembering something, added, "Having said that, we must not forget that we were able to become the guardians of the Heavenly Demon Spirit Pond thanks to those two idiots up front! They were so audacious that they disregarded the prohibitions and rashly rushed in with the signpost. What a fate they ended up in."

At this point, the Left Protector nodded in agreement, "Yes, the Demonic Pond hides countless unknown secrets. Apart from the Demonic Demon and the Lord Demon, I'm afraid even we have no way of knowing the truth.

Therefore, our mission is simple: to stand guard here honestly and never allow anyone without a Heavenly Demon Order to trespass here, unless it's a demon or the Lord Demon himself. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, neither of us can bear the responsibility!"

"You're quite right! Sigh... let's just stay here and absorb as much of the weak demonic energy emanating from there, and try to improve our strength a bit."

After listening to this, the right protector said no more. He exchanged a glance with the left protector, and the two of them quietly merged into the boundless darkness again.

Speaking of this place, a tragedy happened here before.

There were once two guards who were so ignorant that they secretly picked up the sign and rushed in excitedly, wanting to find out what kind of earth-shattering secret was hidden in the depths of the spirit pool.

However, reality is often cruel and merciless. They did successfully reach the interior of the spirit pool and greedily absorbed the rich demonic energy within.

At first, everything seemed to be going quite smoothly, with large amounts of demonic energy flowing into their bodies continuously. However, the good times didn't last long. Soon, the demonic energy they inhaled increased, gradually exceeding the limit they could withstand.

By the time they realized something was wrong, it was too late. There was no way to stop the frantic absorption. Ultimately, the immense power surged like a flood, overwhelming their fragile bodies.

Only two dull loud noises were heard, and the two guards were blown alive by the terrifying force, turning into a ball of blood mist and dissipating in the air.

The two guardians before them, having learned of that tragic event, knew full well that the power within the Spirit Pond was beyond their control. Henceforth, they had guarded this place diligently and quietly, never daring to overstep their bounds.

At that moment, the demon demon and the demon king stepped into the maze and were instantly swallowed by the endless abyss of darkness before them. Faced with this terrifying scene, the brother and sister simultaneously mobilized the power of the Origin Crystal hidden deep within their bodies without hesitation.

The two men slowly stretched out their hands, and in an instant, a faint but dazzling golden light poured out from their hands.

This slender golden light was like lightning across the night sky. With just a slight flash, the fog in the originally silent dark maze seemed to be given life and suddenly became extremely active.

They were like a surging tide, rushing madly in all directions.

Not long after, a magical scene happened - not far in front of them, the fog quickly dissipated, and a wide and straight passage suddenly appeared.

Seeing this situation, the Demon Lord and the Demon Demon looked at each other, gently lowered their arms, and then took a step forward, striding along the newly opened passage without hesitation.

As they walked, Moyao felt a lingering sense of unease. She couldn't help but turn to look at her brother beside her and said worriedly, "Brother, do you think this dark maze can really withstand the human army? I always feel uneasy. I always feel that this matter is not that simple."

Upon hearing this, the Demon Lord stopped and turned to comfort his sister, saying, "Sister, don't worry too much. You know, the most powerful thing about this dark maze is that it can completely lose you, making you lose all sense."

"Even if the massive human army rashly invades this place, what awaits them in the end is nothing more than a bloody melee where everyone kills each other and it becomes difficult to distinguish between friend and foe."

"The reason for this is that outsiders are completely unaware of the complexities within this maze. Even if someone were lucky enough to enter here, there would be absolutely no hope of survival. Those who escape alive are extremely rare."

"Back then, when I meticulously designed and built this dark maze, my original intention was to use it as the last indestructible line of defense. If there were no clear signposts to point the way, then apart from you and me, even if the powerful Seven Gods themselves came, once they were trapped in it, they would be trapped to death, and would never be able to take another step forward for the rest of their lives!" The Demon Lord raised the corners of his mouth slightly, outlining a cunning and confident smile, and spoke slowly.

As soon as he finished speaking, he led the demons into the depths of the maze with ease.

This maze can only be opened by both the Demon Demon and the Demon Lord together. The purpose of this is to prevent someone from capturing a single person. This is actually a safer approach.
