Chapter 462: Chapter 461: The Change of the Demon King

The unicorn morphed into the form of a woman with a long horn, kneeling before Jiang Li.

“Responding to your divine question, a Demon King has taken the throne, and I was defeated in battle. I came here for some peace and quiet, after driving away the hydra, Xu Dela. If you are looking for it, it’s on the floor below us.”

In Jiang Li’s presence, the unicorn felt an even stronger oppression than that of the Demon King.

She couldn’t discern Jiang Li’s identity, but it would never be wrong to address him as a deity.

Seeing that the unicorn was treating Jiang Li with utmost respect, Lans and the others were dumbfounded. The Priest took this opportunity to use his strongest healing skill, enabling everyone to regain their ability to move.

This was the limit of the Priest.

“I’m not interested in the nine-headed monster, as you, known to be the strongest beneath the Demon King, should know plenty.”

“I dare not hide anything in front of a god. I was once the strongest under the Demon King, but now I can only claim to be the second.”

“With your strength being second, the first must be very strong.”

“I wholeheartedly admit my defeat”. The unicorn recalled the previous battle with trepidation, as that battle was an utter crushing defeat. She didn’t have any chance of fighting back.

Lans used his appraisal skill, and upon seeing the unicorn’s status dashboard, was taken aback.

Blood count, mana, spiritual power, attack power, defensive power… All these stats combined were not even half of the unicorn’s.

There were also a whole bunch of extremely rare skills.

Even if the unicorn claimed to be the Demon King, Lans would believe her.

Seeing this kind of demon, instead of running away, Andewood and his group were still daring to fight, are they tired of living?

Lans walked up to Andewood, looking at him with pity. If it weren’t for Jiang Li’s intervention, everyone would have died under the unicorn’s attack.

“Before you fight, don’t you analyze the enemy’s intelligence? Do you think all legendary-ranking abilities are the same?”

“I said before, don’t rely on Andewood’s spontaneous outbreak skill. It’s unstable and not invincible.”

Lans asked casually, but to Andewood and the others, it felt heavily laced with sarcasm.

Especially the newly recruited magician, he had replaced Lans’s position but was unable to accomplish things like Lans.

Andewood lowered his head in shame since due to his arrogance, the team had almost been annihilated.

The female archer asked curiously: “What exactly were you thinking when you kicked Lans out of the squad?”

The team members were silent. They called themselves the brave squad, but after half a day, Lans showed up in full brave gear in front of them, mocking them in a way that made them want to crawl into a hole and hide.

“Lans, can you rejoin our squad? I’ll give you the position of team leader, we can work together to progress and conquer the Demon King.” Andewood felt that no matter how powerful Lans was, he still needed team support. Winning against the Demon King on his own was impossible.

Lans gently shook his head: “I have completely dissociated myself from the brave squad.”

Lans looked at Jiang Li: “And defeating the Demon king…is not something we need to bother ourselves with anymore.”

Looking at Jiang Li and the prostrating unicorn, he couldn’t help but wonder.

If the unicorn was only second to the Demon Clan, then who was first? How strong would the Demon King be? Could the human race equipped with four piece suit really defeat the Demon King?

And when did the change over of the Demon king occur? How did humans not know about it?

Isn’t there always only one Demon King? He had never heard of any changes over.

“The Demon King has changed?”

The unicorn respectfully responded: “Yes. About two years ago, a new Demon King suddenly appeared, killing the old Demon King. In the Demon Clan, power is respected, whoever is strongest is the Demon King.”

“After the new Demon King ascended the throne, he wasn’t interested in invading the three tribes. He spent his days playing in the Demon Clan, appearing and vanishing unpredictably. Nobody could trace the new Demon King’s whereabouts. Thus, after ascending to the throne, the new Demon king disappeared quickly.”

“The Demon King just showed up again recently, with a new unfamiliar Demon Clan General by his side. This Demon Clan General who appeared to be a Frost Giant, is indescribably powerful, I even think this Demon Clan General could potentially be more powerful than the old Demon King.”

“After my battle with the Demon Clan General, I realized the gap between us. Disheartened, I decided to retreat here alone. And then I met you.”

“What does the new Demon King look like?”

“I don’t know, the new Demon King is constantly shrouded in dark fog, so it’s unclear which branch of the Demon Clan he is from. Perhaps the Demon Clan General accompanying him may know what the Demon King looks like.”

“Once I’ve collected the Crown of Bravery, I can directly go and offer congratulations to the new Demon King.” Jiang Li felt that the matters of the Demon Clan were more complicated than he had imagined.

“How much do you know about the relationship between a deity and the Demon King?”

“I know nothing about it, the old Demon King never mentioned it.”

“What about the Formation of the dungeon?”

“Which Formation?” The unicorn looked bewildered.

Seeing Jiang Li’s disappointed expression, the unicorn quickly explained: “I am a solitary being, I do not like trouble. I only have acquaintances in the Demon Clan, I don’t have any interest in the secrets of the Demon Clan, so I have never deliberately sought to understand.”

The brave squad returned to the surface to heal, and Jiang Li took the Unicorn, Lans, and the female archer to the final floor.

In order to demonstrate her usefulness, the unicorn stepped forward ahead of Jiang Li to attack, shattering the magic puppet.

“This is the Crown of Bravery, please have a look, mighty deity.” The unicorn presented the Crown of Bravery. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

The Crown of Bravery was a crown woven from golden olive branches.

Just as Lans assumed that Jiang Li, as usual, would throw the Crown of Bravery to him, Jiang Li seemed interested in the Crown of Bravery and tossed it up in the air, showing no sign of handing it to Lans.

“This Crown of Bravery is interesting, after wearing it one’s mind can be controlled by others. Instead of calling it the Crown of Bravery, it might be more fitting to call it the Puppet Crown.”

The unicorn cried out in shock: “Can this thing control ones mental state?”

The unicorn had also heard of the prophecy that a brave warrior would appear to defeat the Demon King.

“The weapon of bravery controlling the brave warrior? Who would want to do this?” Lans could hardly believe it.

“Who knows, it might be a god, a demon, or it could be a third force.”

“Since we can’t find the deity for now, we could head to the Demon King’s castle and meet the new Demon King to ask directly.”

The female archer covered her ears, her face changing drastically: “The Demon King is not in the Demon King’s castle, he’s appeared in our Elf Forest!”

“Impossible! The new Demon King has never left the territory of the Demon Clan.”

“Our Elf clan is connected by bloodlines, which allows messages to be passed through these bloodlines. Just now the Elf Queen sent a message to all elves, saying that the Demon King has appeared in the Elf forest, shouting for the Elf God to come out. A domineering Demon Clan general is also by his side. The Queen has instructed elves outside not to return.”

Jiang Li lacked understanding about the Elf Clan, so Lans explained to him: “The Elf Clan is a species who are arrogant to outside world, but united within. The bloodline is one of their symbols of internal unity, used to transmit messages to the entire clan.”

“Oh merciful God, I beg you to save our Elf Clan.”

The female archer was about to kneel before Jiang Li.

Jiang Li stopped her: “My goal was to find the Demon King anyway, your news has actually saved me from running a futile errand to the Demon King’s city, I should be thanking you.”

“Get up.”

The female archer gratefully said: “You really are a kind and great deity.”
