Chapter 378: The Death of the Demon King

With the enhancement of "Moment," Roa completed this series of actions almost instantaneously. His previous fight with the Dragon God had taught him a great deal.

Roa approached the old man, casting a cold glance at him.

He didn't say much, nor did he need to.

Under the old man's terrified gaze, Roa walked past him.

A line of blood appeared on his neck, and his head rolled to the ground, just like the dead guards.

In Roa's eyes, the so-called strongest mage was no different from those guards.

Taking his life was merely a matter of a moment.

The Demon King's castle was so weak that no one could stop Roa's advance. Even the so-called Demon King's generals, as long as they dared to stand before Roa, their lives were no longer their own.

"Moment," the absolute king of close combat.

No one could stand against such a powerful being.

Slaughter.

When the difference in strength between the two sides was so great, the so-called resistance seemed so childish and laughable to Roa.

Corpses piled up as Roa leisurely walked into the Demon King's castle, the blood staining the entire ground red. Roa arrived at the first floor.

There were no minotaurs on the first floor; those guys were all lying on the ground outside, turned into headless corpses.

No one was there, it was empty.

It wasn't until Roa reached the entrance from the first floor to the second floor that he encountered someone.

It was the Demon King's general that Roa had met before.

Wolbach.

A beautiful woman with large breasts.

Roa paused, a strange look on his face.

Recalling their previous encounter, the first time they met, she was clearly from the Demon King's camp, yet she advised him to leave quickly.

How to put it, she was a strange person.

Their eyes met, and neither of them spoke.

But the silence didn't last long, as the youth spoke first, breaking the silence.

"Either leave, or die."

The youth's expression was stern, and Roa gripped the hilt of his sword.

Wolbach's expression became unusually serious. When the red-haired girl put on a serious face, the pressure she exerted was also quite strong.

Wolbach still stood in Roa's way, not budging an inch. Wolbach said, "As a general of the Demon King's army, I can't just let you pass so easily."

Roa sighed, his crimson-gold pupils revealing helplessness.

"Why, are you so eager to die?"

After saying this, Roa kicked Wolbach straight in the stomach.

Roa's kick was truly fast and ruthless, the violent energy gathering at one point and exploding directly.

The terrifying force came from her abdomen, and before Wolbach could react, she was kicked away. The immense force carried her far away, smashing through the walls of the Demon King's castle and landing like a broken rag dozens of feet away.

Roa didn't even look at her. He hadn't held back with that kick. With the blessing of dragon blood and magic, his normal strength stat had reached A+.

As for why he didn't kill her, it was purely because she was good-looking and had warned Roa before, so he would spare her life for now.

The Demon King's general on the second floor was an ogre, huge in size and extremely ugly, with long, thin fangs in his mouth.

Roa had never had any good feelings towards ogres. He activated "Moment" to the third stage, and with a single strike of the Sword of Light, he finished him off.

His head fell to the ground, not giving him any chance to speak.

Now, Roa's use of the Sword of Light didn't consume too much energy.

Former ultimate skills could now be used as small skills.

Behind the ogre was a slime, and Roa had some impression of this slime.

Poisonous Slime, a special kind of slime, one of the Demon King's generals. A mutated species of Poisonous Death Slime. Its entire body was covered in deadly poison. Not only was it highly resistant to magic, but it could also mimic any creature it ate.

Slimes themselves had a strong resistance to sharp weapons like swords and spears, coupled with their own magic resistance, making them quite troublesome for adventurers in this world.

Roa glanced at it, but didn't use the Sword of Light.

A dark hand hidden in the shadows suddenly reached out, grabbing the slime. A golden light, enveloping the Poisonous Death Slime.

Suppression was formed.

The dual suppression of magic and strength made the Poisonous Death Slime unable to move. It looked at Roa in disbelief, its expression filled with terror.

"You, just who are you?"

The Poisonous Death Slime let out a hoarse, unpleasant voice.

However, all it received in response was Roa's cold expression.

"Die, Magic Sword."

Dark, ominous magic surged, and extremely dense magic gathered in Roa's left hand. This was pure magic condensed and compressed, representing the ultimate destructive power.

The Magic Sword pierced directly into its abdomen. The Poisonous Slime, under dual suppression, couldn't unleash its original talents and was instantly overwhelmed by this terrifying magic.

Dark, ominous magic engulfed the Poisonous Slime, and otherworldly darkness began to climb and spread, the true darkness distorting the surrounding air.

Roa released the Magic Sword, but it didn't disappear directly, still stuck in the Poisonous Slime's body. The youth glanced at it, the dark hand still firmly gripping it. Roa released some more magic and then ignored the slime.

Second floor, third floor, fourth floor.

The Demon King's generals who stood in his way, or their replacements, were all dealt with by Roa.

There was even an evil god known as the Fallen Goddess in the middle.

But even the so-called evil god's fate was sealed the moment she appeared within Roa's sight.

Evil gods possessed the power of goddesses and had a very high status in this world, reaching the ceiling.

However, even the goddess known as the evil god was no match for Roa and was directly defeated with just one move.

The sharp sword was pressed against her throat, as if it could easily kill her at any moment.

Roa didn't say anything, calmly giving her two choices: "Do you want to live, or do you want to die?"

The evil god trembled, staring at Roa in a daze, her expression filled with astonishment.

Roa's speed was too fast, so fast that even she didn't know how the youth had attacked.

Roa frowned and didn't waste any words. He exerted a little force with his right hand and said directly, "Since you're not speaking, I'll choose for you."

His hand rose and fell.

Roa continued to walk forward, only adding another headless corpse to the ground.

And behind Roa, Kazuma Satou and Aqua were both dumbfounded.

"He, he really soloed it." Kazuma Satou rubbed his head, his expression incredulous.

Aqua was equally bewildered. She didn't know why Roa had become so powerful.

Shouldn't the Demon King's generals be so powerful that they inspire despair, requiring even the hero's party to put in a lot of effort to defeat them?

But what was this scene before her?

Like killing chickens?

For a moment, Aqua felt a little absurd. Roa was displaying absolute strength, making Aqua feel somewhat unreal.

"Just who is the goddess who sent this guy? What kind of divine artifact did she give him that allowed him to grow to this extent?" Aqua said in a daze.

However, these words drew a speechless gaze from Kazuma Satou beside her.

"Wasn't it you? Lady Aqua." Kazuma Satou said expressionlessly, uttering the second half of the sentence word by word.

"Ah, is that so?" Aqua scratched her head.

After her surprise, Aqua was delighted because it meant she would soon be able to leave this world.

The future seemed to be getting better and better. The task that seemed impossible to complete now seemed so simple.

It's different when you have a strong player carrying you! Aqua thought to herself, but for some reason, she glanced at Kazuma Satou out of the corner of her eye.

The group behind them was indeed shocked.

But Roa didn't have time to pay attention to so much at the moment.

Finally, Roa arrived at the highest level of the Demon King's castle.

And at this moment, two people were standing in front of Roa.

One was an old man, an old man with a clear aura of decay.

His face was old, and many wrinkles had appeared on it. When he saw Roa, his expression was quite calm.

Beside the old man was a girl.

Her exact age was unknown, but her appearance was that of a girl.

The old man's aura wasn't strong; on the contrary, the girl beside the old man had an unusually powerful aura.

"Demon King?" Roa looked at the old man and asked doubtfully.

The old man nodded slightly, but his expression also carried a hint of helplessness.

He said, "I am the Demon King, Kyoichi Yasaka, the ruler of the demon race and the leader of the Demon King's army."

After saying that, he pointed to the girl beside him and continued, "This is my daughter. Her name is Yasaka."

Roa nodded, but his gaze lingered on the girl's chest for a moment.

Her aura was very strong, and based on a preliminary estimate, she was probably stronger than Iris.

But she was his daughter. As for the Demon King, how to put it, he was unusually weak.

Seeming to see the strange look on the youth's face, the Demon King Kyoichi Yasaka gave a wry smile. He said directly, "Although I am the Demon King, I am actually a support-type character. So my strength isn't as exaggerated as people imagine. The most difficult thing about defeating me is probably just getting to me, but you've already done it. No general was able to successfully stop you. You've already succeeded."

Saying this, the decaying old man couldn't help but sigh deeply, his pale old face full of regret.

Roa wasn't in a hurry to attack and intended to continue listening to what this old guy wanted to say.

"A person's life is so short. Even I, as the Demon King, have reached the end of my life. I am no longer young, and I have no regrets, but I still have my daughter by my side. If possible, I hope you'll spare her." Kyoichi Yasaka said, a reluctant look appearing on his pale, wrinkled face.

Hearing this, the girl beside him glared fiercely at Roa and said angrily, "Father, don't be afraid. I'm here. With my abilities, I'll definitely be able to kill him."

Roa ignored the girl. After staring at Kyoichi Yasaka for a moment, he nodded and said, "Okay, I can agree to your request. I don't care about your daughter. All I want is the Demon King's life. As for who the Demon King is, I don't care."

Kyoichi Yasaka sighed faintly, a look of relief on his face.

The girl beside him still wanted to say something, but Roa had already made his move.

The Windpipe was unsheathed. At such a close distance, no one could stop Roa from drawing his sword.

The sword light turned into a flowing moonlight. The moonlight swept across, and Kyoichi Yasaka's head fell to the ground.

Roa didn't stop. He raised his left hand, gathering elements in his palm. Under the girl's incredulous gaze, scorching flames engulfed Kyoichi Yasaka's body, completely turning him into ashes.

Just as Roa killed the Demon King, he heard a series of system notifications in his ears.

[You have killed the Demon King Kyoichi Yasaka]

The notifications came one after another. Roa didn't bother to read them, as he had other matters to attend to.

Yasaka's tears streamed down her face. The death of someone so dear to her brought an unimaginable shock. She couldn't accept this reality, nor could she understand why her father chose to surrender without a fight, especially since she possessed such immense power. With her father's talent enhancement, even the legendary hero might not have been her match.

She couldn't comprehend it, but she could feel the pain in her heart.

This pain quickly transformed into hatred. Yasaka raised her eyes, staring intently at the young man before her.

A resentful aura emanated from Yasaka. Roa remained expressionless, his golden pupils devoid of joy or sorrow. His crimson-gold eyes met Yasaka's venomous gaze.

"Do you want to kill me?" Roa asked coldly.

Yasaka didn't speak, but her expression made it clear that she desired his death.

Roa shrugged, his stern face unchanged. He simply said, "I'll give you one chance to strike. After that, you die."

Although Roa had promised Kyoichi Yasaka that he would spare his daughter's life, he didn't say he would indulge her. Why would he allow someone who resented him to exist in this world, causing trouble for himself?

Roa wasn't foolish enough to do that. Of the eight executives, Wolbach was the only one he let go, simply because he didn't sense strong hostility from her. Letting her go was inconsequential.

But this person before him had revealed such obvious hostility, so he might as well eliminate her.

Yasaka bit her lip. She wanted to nod in agreement, but reason told her that nodding would be suicide.

The man before her was too powerful.

So powerful that even her father didn't have the courage to resist. Could she really be his opponent?
