The maid squad is too strong, what use is there for me, the Demon King?
Chapter 227 A fight to the death
Seeing Aaron, despite the protective magic of Seko, still suffer a gruesome fate of being decapitated and having his limbs severed, the four of them were stunned.
Because all of this happened so fast, so fast that their brains hadn't been able to process the amount of information they were receiving from what they saw.
After gradually understanding what had happened, Aiden, Kyle, and Seco were all filled with grief and fear.
Tragedy struck everyone as they witnessed the death of their captain, with whom they had spent so much time, and in such a miserable state. A sense of desolation filled their hearts, and a burning anger ignited within them.
However, the flames of anger were quickly extinguished.
They were already struggling to protect themselves from a sixth-tier demon, so how could they possibly avenge their captain?
The three were terrified of what was about to happen to them.
This labyrinthine dungeon... is it moderately difficult? Or should it be more like a death trap? No adventurer who comes here will leave alive.
I should have known better than to come and join the fun in this maze dungeon.
Hindsight is always 20/20, and besides, this is a mission assigned by the guild, so they don't have the right to refuse. It's not like those free adventurers who come to explore newly created dungeons on a whim.
Lily witnessed Aaron's death, and her world seemed to collapse in an instant.
Grief and rage burned like two raging flames in Lily's heart, consuming all her reason. Her eyes were fixed on the demon, her only target for revenge.
Lily let out a heart-wrenching scream, her body seemingly propelled by an invisible force, charging recklessly towards the cold-blooded killer. Her short sword danced wildly in the air, each strike imbued with despair and madness.
After killing the demon, the demon seemed to feel better, and the trace of irritation dissipated.
"They came to me without me having to choose. What a thoughtful team!"
The demon looked at the four people in front of him with a mocking disdain, completely ignoring Lily's frenzied attack.
Lily's steps were chaotic and hurried, like a wounded wild beast, only knowing how to charge forward, completely unlike her usual calm. The demon looked at this irrational woman, a look of contempt flashing in his eyes.
Lily rushed forward, and the remaining three had no choice but to continue assisting from the sidelines.
The team, which usually worked well together, lost its cohesion after its captain's death. They could no longer coordinate perfectly with Lily as before, because Lily, who had lost her mind, had no intention of cooperating with them.
The effectiveness of providing assistance from the sidelines is reduced to the worst level.
Lily's attacks were no longer as unpredictable as before; they were now direct and fierce, with the tip of her sword aimed directly at the demon's heart.
But can things really go so easily?
If demons were so easy to deal with, how could Aaron have been decapitated in an instant?
The demon easily dodged Lily's first attack, but her assault was relentless, like a storm. Her sword whistled through the air, each strike attempting to find the demon's weakness.
Lily's face was covered in blood, her eyes filled with madness and determination. Her movements grew faster and more reckless, as if she had forgotten fear and pain, driven by only one purpose—revenge.
Her sword finally pierced the demon's shoulder, blood staining the blade. But the demon merely frowned slightly; he grabbed Lily's sword with one hand and swung it down heavily with the other.
Lily's body was flung into the air like a kite with a broken string, then crashed heavily to the ground. She rolled on the ground, blood gushing from her mouth, but an indomitable flame still burned in her eyes. She struggled to get up again, but her body had reached its limit.
The longsword pierced her heart, Lily's pupils became unfocused, and her life force rapidly dissipated.
In her final moments, Lily's last thought was...
Aaron, I'm coming to find you...
Immediately, her delicate body fell to the ground with a heavy thud, leaving only a cold corpse. However, her fate was still better than that of Yaren, at least... the area of her body that was damaged was smaller.
“The second one.” The demon walked past Lily’s corpse as if strolling in a garden, but surprisingly did not step on the body to desecrate the remains of the dead.
Lily's death weighed heavily on the hearts of the remaining three people, like a heavy stone.
The once-formidable team was now shattered. Kyle, Aiden, and Seco channeled their grief and anger into fighting spirit, launching a desperate attack against the hateful demon who had murdered their teammates.
Despite the vast difference in strength, none of the three had the thought of kneeling down to beg for mercy or turning to run away.
Even without the hatred stemming from the demons killing their former companions, the three of them never considered surrendering.
Because the other side would never let them go. The other side is a demon, while they are humans. The hatred between the two races has lasted for countless years. Even if the positions were reversed, they would not let the other side go either.
As for turning around and fleeing, hoping to take revenge later, that's clearly unrealistic in the labyrinthine dungeons, the domain of the demons.
Therefore, the only option left for the three of them was to fight to the death.
At this moment, only a fight to the death is possible; how can we talk about surrender!
Seco no longer cared about the consumption of magic power. With all his might, he applied various buffs to Kyle and Aiden, while also applying various debuffs to the demons. He tried to cooperate with the two and exhaust all his magic power in a short period of time, squeezing out everything he had. It was all or nothing!
Kyle, his hands steady and strong, drew the bowstring taut, his eyes gleaming with a cold light. He drew a few special magical arrows from his quiver.
These arrows were far more powerful than ordinary arrows, but they were very expensive, and Kyle felt a pang of regret. He would only have used them if his life was in danger.
He knew that each arrow had to be precise, so that it would cause as much damage as possible to the demons.
He aimed at the demon, took a deep breath, and released the bowstring. The arrow streaked across the night sky like a meteor, heading straight for its target.
Sensing the magical fluctuations contained within the incoming arrows, the demons finally stopped responding to Kyle's arrows with ordinary slashes and began chanting incantations.
Aiden, the fire mage, had already prepared for the worst when he realized that remote support wouldn't be of much help to Lily, and silently apologized to the two who had already perished.
The intricate incantation echoed through Aiden's body, his magical power surging like boiling magma. He took a deep breath and slowly raised his hands, palms down.
The surrounding air began to distort, the temperature rose sharply, and an invisible force gathered within him, poised to unleash its power. A crimson light gradually shone between his hands.
Sweat beaded on Aiden's forehead, and his body trembled slightly.
The burden of overdrawing magic is significant, but the effects are also remarkable.
This attack has already reached the threshold of the sixth rank, enough to pose a threat to the demons!
