Chapter 430 (1/2)

Hao Ren felt that he had to learn his lesson, which was never poke the most sensitive sensory organs of a canine— especially when you stood on her nose. Lily was agitated by the spear tip and sneezed, and Hao Ren was blown away and smashed into the demons which was trying to get to its feet…

Hao Ren felt like he had collided with a steel plate, and learned firsthand how hard the body muscles of the demon was. The demon had woken up from its stupor and grabbed the neck of Hao Ren, trying to reverse the situation: Unfortunately, he had grasped a guy who was tougher than itself.

Hao Ren’s Steel Membrane Shield gave out shining sparks as the demon’s big hand grabbed him. Lily took the opportunity and pounced at the demon. As they fell to the ground, Lily opened her ghastly mouth and bit down. Hao Ren tacitly dodged and let Lily’s fangs planted in the demon commander’s neck.

“Don’t move!” Hao Ren shouted in demonic language as he jumped back on Lily’s back and stood together with Vivian. “My fierce dog grew up eating demons – where is the person in charge? ”

As Hao Ren’s voice trailed off, Vivian smacked him with a look: “Are you brain dead? Isn’t he the one?”

Hao Ren scratched his hair embarrassingly. After making sure the surrounding demons and dark dwarfs did not react rashly, he motioned Lily to let off her bite. The demon commander was still struggling to break free from the Lily’s paws whose brute strength even Y’zaks might find it hard to contain, not to mention the demon was just a grassroot officer. Hao Ren glanced down at the demon, trying to communicate with it: “Don’t panic. We are not enemies, the mad demon king and us are friends. Please ask your men to back off and promise not to attack again, I have something to talk to you.”

The demon commander looked puzzledly at the human who was wielding a weird weapon, and the big dog which was pinning it on the ground. Then it nodded its head.

The dark dwarfs and demons nearby retreated slightly while those obsidian colossi’ eyes dimmed. Hao Ren jumped down to ground and pointed his spear at the devil commander;s neck, so that Lily could carefully let off her paws. The demon commander got to its feet slowly and cautiously with the spear to his neck. It seemed to have noticed that Hao Ren and his companions weren’t hostile, it relaxed its muscles.

Hao Ren glanced slightly at the direction of La Nina, realised the latter hadn’t the intention to reveal herself as she was covering her face with a hood.

There was an unknown ‘Y’zaks’ in town, both the voice and the appearance of which were similar to the genuine one. It was very difficult to tell its identity and motivation. So it was just as difficult to tell whether these remnants of the demonic army were on their side? If La Nina revealed herself suddenly at this time, it was difficult to say what reaction the the demon king impersonator in Helcrown would have—after all, La Nina is the confidante of Y’zaks, it was easy for her to spot the difference.

She might be in the midst of finding the right timing to reveal herself.

“You are the remnants of the mad demon king?” Hao Ren made sure the demon commander was under his control as he pondered way to get information about the situation in Helcrown, “Weren’t Helcrown destroyed and Y’zaks dead?”

“How dare you call the king by his name!” These were the first words out of the demon commander’s mouth, but it was also greatly surprised that there was still people in this world dared to mention the king’s name, even worse was it was a human. What this human was doing here?

Hao Ren scratched his hair with the other hand and said, “I don’t care about that, I’m not with the Allied Army and neither I’m an enemy of the demon king’s army. I’m here because we’ve learned that the dead mad demon king has reappeared. How could that possible?”

While he was asking, his eyes were on Helcrown looking for movement. Although they were within the blind spot just below Helcrown, those demons in the city must have realised something was wrong as it had been quite a while since they last sent their small forces down here. Hao Ren didn’t know when those demons would come down to check—if the fake Y’zaks were to come down personally, it would be better as Lanina and Y’zaks could confirm its identity.

The demon commander, while wondering where these weird guys came from, it responded by holding its head high: “I don’t know who you are, I’m not bound to answer your question—anyway, our king has been alive and kicking since the very beginning.”

Hao Ren’s brows knit together: “You mean, the ‘mad demon king’ has been with you from the beginning? He’s not dead?”

The fake Y’zaks above had never left Helcrown from the very beginning? He didn’t come out from nowhere?
