The Demon Emperor was Saint Emperor

Chapter 104: No Passage Through This Road

To Lynn, a Level 750 Great Demon doesn’t even count as a proper boss; at most, it would take him just two and a half skills to kill it.

But that was in the game. Now, in the real world, a strike to the vital point or weakness isn’t just a mere critical hit; it could truly be a fatal blow.

Which means, the blazing demon before him is someone he can instantly kill.

"Hurry up and enter! Take advantage of the chaos within the Celestial Destiny Empire and find the lost Demon King Order!"

Legion Commander Egarot stood with a wide-backed broadsword in hand at the front of the spatial passage, watching his elite troops pass through one by one into the Divine Protection Continent.

Unfortunately, these random space rifts are extremely unstable. Even with the best efforts, it’s only possible to expand it to this size, enough to allow only one demon to pass at a time.

Moreover, the demonic qi they emit is quite pungent within the Divine Protection Continent, completely unsubtle and easily detectable. Therefore, they must act swiftly. They can’t wait for an entire legion to arrive; the action must start when they gather a maximum of three thousand demons.

Fortunately, this connected to a wilderness area. If it had been a village or near a main road, they’d have been discovered within minutes.

"Speed up! Stop dawdling! If you don’t complete the task by nightfall, I can run away, but you might not be so lucky!"

The narrow spatial passage severely limited the demons’ movement speed, and as the Legion Commander, Egarot expressed urgency, constantly urging them on.

After such a long time, the Lust Demon King Order that had been silent for a year showed signs of activity a few days ago. Today, a space rift to the Celestial Destiny Empire coincidentally appeared within his jurisdiction, seemingly under the blessing of the Demon God.

It seems destiny is calling him, Egarot, to retrieve the Demon King Order and replace the new Demon King with impure blood!

A mere Enchanting Demon, with only half Abyssal Demon blood, and a level far below his—why should she rule the entire Lust Demon Kingdom?

Though she currently has only a nominal title as the Demon King, not all the nobles and legion commanders heed her orders, her position is legitimate.

Who wouldn’t covet that position? Even if it’s a hollow title, there’s endless pleasure and indulgence to be enjoyed as a Demon King.

Rumor has it that under that young woman’s command are three thousand of the finest Enchanting Demons. Once he retrieves the Demon King Order and claims that position, wouldn’t they all be his?

"Don’t go too fast, ease up a bit; any more and I can’t kill them all in one go."

As Egarot was dreaming about a boundless bright future, a man’s voice suddenly echoed next to his ear.

"Who are you! Damn it..."

Egarot’s reaction was not slow, but it wasn’t quicker than Lynn’s hand speed.

Before he realized, reflexively gearing up for defense, a wide-backed broadsword identical to his was thrust into his chest.

Though pierced through the chest, Egarot didn’t die immediately; instead, he glared angrily at the man who ambushed him.

The aura of this man was utterly ordinary, lacking any signs of a powerful being, but his weapon was formidable, piercing through Egarot’s Demon Marshal Armor and skewering his body altogether, definitely a Sacred Artifact exceeding Level 700.

"Damn Human Race! Die!"

With a fierce roar, Egarot raised his broadsword to slash at Lynn, but the next moment, he witnessed a scene that made his veins bulge.

The broadsword struck directly at the arm of the despicable human holding the sword, yet the part that shattered wasn’t the man’s arm.

"Showing off with little strength, why the hell are you shouting so loud!"

While speaking, Lynn casually flicked off the blade fragments from his shoulder, then stirred the Level 750 Sacred Artifact broadsword in his hand, opening up Egarot’s abdomen.

The earlier thrust was too smooth, and this Great Demon didn’t show any signs of sudden death, prompting Lynn to realize he hadn’t hit a vital point, so he resorted to performing a seppuku-style edition to finish him.

Egarot had initially been pleased with the fact that his heart naturally leaned to the right, dodging fatal blows, but seeing how he couldn’t breach Lynn’s defense, coupled with the opponent’s quick response, a feeling of deep unease arose within him.

A moment ago, he imagined reclaiming the Demon King Order and seizing power. At this moment, only one thought occupied his mind: escape!

However, once Lynn has ensnared a target, even a Demon King wouldn’t escape, let alone a petty Legion Commander.

Dragon-Breaking Slash!

A burst of fire shot from Lynn’s broadsword, forming the shape of a dragon’s head in the air, its blazing glow reflected on Egarot’s face, seemingly delivering a signal of death.

Ding!

A clear ring sounded as both of Egarot’s curved horns shattered on his forehead, quickly forming a shield in front of him.

But the dragon’s head effortlessly bit through the shield, then ignited Egarot’s body.

"Ah..."

Even a hardened Level 750 Great Demon let out a miserable scream under the high temperature akin to a dragon’s breath. The flames ignored all his defenses, melting his heavy armor and scorching his flesh, his massive store of magic power unable to extinguish them.

"This path is blocked, go to hell!"

Having set Egarot ablaze, Lynn paid him no further mind. Instead, he switched to a Flame Sword and charged into the elite demon army of the Lust Demon Kingdom.

Damn! So, they came for a surprise attack and didn’t bring any Enchanting Demons? Then what the hell did I come for!

Lynn gritted his teeth with hatred, his actions intensified by threefold.

Their Legion Commander couldn’t withstand even a single strike from Lynn; the so-called elite demon soldiers were even more powerless, like lambs for the slaughter.

"The Legion Commander’s defeated! Kill him for revenge!"

"It’s a peak Human Race warrior! We’re ambushed! Run!"

After Egarot fell, the demons split into two factions: one charged at Lynn, while the rest turned and began fleeing.

When killing Egarot, Lynn used only one skill, but when eliminating these minor demon soldiers, Lynn theatrically unleashed powerful moves. Each swing of his sword sent forth a flaming giant dragon in their faces, then exploded into a burst of fire, not aiming for maximum output but wide attack coverage.

Any demon soldier below Level 500 got killed when touched by Lynn, or dropped dead if brushed against. This speed greatly accelerated his game of annihilating the demon race.

This was far simpler than his previous storming of the Celestial Destiny Imperial City. In the palace, he had to be cautious, avoiding excessive destruction of what would be Helena’s future palace. But out here in the wilderness, destruction could pass as land excavation.

"Sifrin, slow down! There’s demon fog gathering over there, indicating a Great Demon presence. You’re not a match for them! Leave it to Lynn; he can wipe out a Great Demon from eight hundred miles away, don’t offer yourself up prematurely!"

At this moment, urgent footsteps sounded in the distant wild forest, followed by a woman’s anxious shout.

Prior to this, she hadn’t spoken, likely to preserve her concealment, but as a white figure recklessly dashed forth, she could no longer hold back.
