Chapter 889: The Door Is Here
The Dark Devourer was utterly confused, struggling to grasp the situation.
Robb patted its forehead and said, “Seems like you’re enjoying quite the collaboration with the Church of Light.”
Only then did Dark Devourer realize the current situation and began to feel uneasy, saying, “So, you’re that peculiar man from Westwind City, the one both the Church of Light and the Church of Darkness, as well as the Kingdom of Norma, want to kill.”
“I don’t have time to chat with you,” Robb replied. “Let’s get to the point. I ask, you answer. Otherwise, I’ll make you recite ‘Human, you shall pay for your arrogance’ again. I ask you, even though humans can’t locate your Demon King City, not even the Adventurer’s Guild with the best knowledge of the Jinghong Mountain Range knows its exact location, why can the Church of Light contact you easily and send troops your way so quickly?”
Dark Devourer foolishly retorted, “Repeat that phrase again, what threat does it pose to me?”
Robb laughed and remained silent.
A bead-sized droplet of sweat trickled down Dark Devourer’s forehead. It felt like perhaps confronting him head-on wasn’t the best idea. But then again, I’m the Demon Lord, the embodiment of evil. What do I have to fear? Even if I am afraid, I will never compromise with mere humans.
Though it was furious, it still felt fear deep inside. However, that fear didn’t make it flinch. It raised its enormous palm and swung it down at Robb with great force.
“Boom!”
With a single punch, Robb shattered it into pieces.
“It seems this thing won’t cooperate with us, and even under pressure, it won’t confess,” Robb told his teammates. “After all, it’s a Demon Lord. Even if it can’t defeat me, it won’t compromise. It will at least maintain some semblance of dignity and won’t kneel down begging like a wretch.”
The group nodded in agreement.
Chris said, “It looks like we’ll have to find the clues ourselves. We just need to locate a letter or some sort of token that can serve as evidence.”
“Good luck, everyone. I’ll go back to mining,” Robb waved.
Chris and the others exchanged looks.
Suddenly, Chris picked up a pen from the Demon Lord’s desk, handed it to Robb, and said, “Dear Godfather, I’ve actually been a fan of yours. I never thought we’d meet under these circumstances. Could you please sign my armor? You can sign anywhere you like.”
The priest, hunter, assassin, and fire magician all joined in, saying, “Us too!”
Robb chuckled and said, “We’re already friends, aren’t we? Do friends really need signatures? Feel free to come chat whenever you’re in Westwind City. No need to act all formal.”
Chris and the others were overjoyed, exclaiming, “The legendary Godfather is truly a hero, without a hint of arrogance.”
“In any case, you guys go ahead and search for clues. I’ll go dig up some more Demon Steel,” Robb said. With a swift motion, he brushed past the hole he had descended from earlier and flew back up. When he had stomped through the ground to land in the Demon Lord’s chamber, many demons had peered down from above, expecting to witness Robb being thrashed by the Demon Lord. However, they were astonished to see Robb dispatch the Demon Lord with a single blow.
Terrified, these demons scattered in all directions. By the time Robb flew out again, there were hardly any demons left in sight, save for a few slow ones frantically fleeing in the distance. Robb casually shot an arrow at one of them and didn’t bother looking at the result.
He retrieved a small mining pickaxe. He knew he had to dig up the Demon Steel in this place himself. He had no intention of asking the miners from Westwind City to come here; after all, this was the Demon Lord’s castle. Even if he had dispersed the demons, many low-intelligence creatures, unaware even of how to escape, still lurked here. There was also a possibility of lava giants emerging from the nearby river of lava.
This place remained perilous. When he wasn’t around, the miners were prone to accidents while mining here. Therefore, he decided to exert more effort himself.
Meanwhile, Chris, Gorda, and the others continued to explore within the Demon Lord’s castle.
With the Demon Lord deceased and the demons scattered, the castle was now empty. There were no more monsters around, making the search for items much quicker. They circled around the Demon Lord’s chamber, but hadn’t found anything useful. Just as frustration was setting in, the hunter suddenly exclaimed from behind the throne, “Over here, there’s a hidden secret door.”
Everyone rushed to the indicated spot, where the hunter took out a dagger. He gently traced along a seam on the wall, swiftly creating a rectangular frame. Judging by the size of the frame, it was a door.
“Look, a stone door!” the hunter announced. “It’s just extremely well-hidden. But there is indeed a stone door here.”
Excitement filled the group.
The fire magician inspected it closely and said, “In the center of the door, there’s a rune drawn with transparent liquid. This rune seals the door. You must recite the correct incantation to open it.”
“But how are we supposed to know the demon incantation?”
“It looks like we’ll have to force it open.”
“Using force might trigger a trap and cause an explosion.”
Gorda chuckled, “With Godfather around, what’s there to fear about explosions? Worst case, we just wait for resurrection.”
The group exchanged glances.
And so, two minutes later…
“Boom!”
A powerful explosion reverberated beneath the depths of the Demon Lord’s castle. After about thirty seconds, Robb heard Xuelu’s voice echoing from below the hole, “Godfather, things are bad! Chris got blown up. Hurry, come save us!”
Robb replied, “Hey! I’m mining here. Don’t go causing trouble for me.”
Soon, Robb arrived downstairs. He used the Resurrection spell to bring Chris back to life, then stood in front of the peculiar door. “Forcing our way through this will cause a powerful explosion, right?”
“Yes!” Chris, who had just been resurrected, rubbed his forehead. “It was a massive explosion. My Mithril Armor couldn’t withstand it. I was blown up instantly, and a tremendously strong magic burst forth from within.”
At this point, Chris suddenly became cheerful again. “Experiencing Resurrection once, it’s truly an incredible sensation.”
Several teammates beside him even envied him. “Ah, in life, you have to experience all sorts of adventures, right? By the way, what does it feel like after you die? Did you see heaven or hell?”
Chris shrugged. “Not at all! After death, you don’t know anything. It’s like blacking out from drinking too much.”
The group chimed in, “Comparing it to getting blackout drunk, isn’t that a bit, well, inappropriate?”
“Hey, cut it out. Godfather is studying this door.”
“Do you guys think Godfather will use some special method to open the door? He seems to know everything. Maybe he knows how to open this too?”
As they were discussing this, they saw Robb raise his fist and deliver a punch. The magical runes inscribed on the door immediately exploded with a thunderous roar, releasing a tremendous surge of magic. However, with a wave of his hand, Robb made all that magic disappear without a trace.
