Chapter 169: #169 - Section 169

"No movement!"

Good, the soldiers' conversation below helped them avoid being instantly defeated. This Luos is in the community and hasn't run outside.

But where is this guy hiding?

"Captain, let's go report to Lord Luos and see how things are going on Lord Luos's side."

"Okay, you guys continue to observe carefully. The game has already begun. That Demon King has entered the base. Be careful!"

"Yes!"

Wang Xiaoming looked at the captain with shining eyes. He's the one going to report to Luos, right? What a good person! I don't know where that guy is, so I'll rely on you to lead the way!

However, just as Wang Xiaoming was about to follow the other party to find Luos, he suddenly took out a hat from behind and put it on, and then his entire person disappeared from Wang Xiaoming's sight.

Huh? ? ?

Wang Xiaoming blinked, looking at the spot where the team leader disappeared, stunned for a moment.

Damn it!

Invisibility Helmet, Hades' Invisibility Helmet, also a special gift from Greek mythology, capable of hiding a person so that even gods cannot see them.

This team leader is unexpectedly clever, actually knowing to hide himself when going to contact his boss to prevent the Demon King from tracking him.

Hades' Invisibility Helmet can prevent even gods from seeing you. Unless this Demon King's level is high enough, it's impossible to detect him.

But if a high-level guy comes to the lower levels, it will directly trigger an alarm, and the people on the upper levels will know immediately and rush down, so it's impossible for a high-level Demon King to be here now.

This gave Wang Xiaoming a bit of a headache. In the original plot, Kasuga Yō detected the other party's trace through ultrasonic waves, but Wang Xiaoming doesn't know how to use ultrasonic waves.

However, not having ultrasonic waves doesn't mean Wang Xiaoming doesn't have other detection methods.

Even if he's invisible, he must still exist. After all, such a big person is there, so as long as there is a super-wide-range attack, it can make the other party show his figure, such as smoke, where a person walks through the smoke, there will be traces, or what Wang Xiaoming can use.

Est!

Yes, I'm here!

Let's release our flames!

Yes!

Through the contract, Wang Xiaoming directly communicated with Est, letting Est release flames. Wang Xiaoming and Est share the position of Fire Spirit King, and using flames is Est's most basic ability.

Wang Xiaoming held Est upside down, the blade facing down, and the blade flashed red, then instantly spewed out golden-red flames. The flames bypassed Wang Xiaoming and spread out in all directions in an instant, like a giant wave, impacting the surroundings.

Firestorm!

An attack method copied from some old man over a thousand years old, directly turning the flames into a huge wall of fire, spreading out in all directions.

"What's going on! This flame!"

"It's the Demon King! It's the Demon King's attack!"

"Quick, use defensive gifts, and water!"

However, before they could defend, the flames had already engulfed them directly. All the passages in the entire base were filled with flames, and all areas were affected. This super-wide-area flame impact was not something they could easily defend against.

So soon, screams came from everywhere.

Wang Xiaoming ignored those he could see. He filled his eyes with magic power and observed the sea of fire, wanting to see places where there was no one but the flames were separated.

Oh ~ ~ ~ Found it.

There was an area where the flames were inexplicably separated in the middle, but there was nothing in the separated area. It was obvious that it was the invisible guy.

Wang Xiaoming put away Est, stopped the output of flames, and took advantage of the remaining flames to rush over directly, following behind the other party.

After the other party crossed the sea of fire, he went directly towards the underground.

So that's how it is, not in a high place, but underground. The basement, that guy wouldn't be waiting in the vault... right?

Wang Xiaoming's expression was a little stiff. Thinking of the game content he said in the game, looking for treasure, so this guy really thought he was going to rob his vault?

Wang Xiaoming was a little speechless, but he still followed the other party to the basement.

After entering the basement, the team leader directly took off his helmet. After taking off his helmet, he struggled to hold on to the wall next to him. He was covered in burns. Although the armor on his body was a defensive gift, it could not withstand such terrible high temperatures for a long time, so it was right that he was injured all over.

The team leader looked at the still surging flames behind him, gritted his teeth, and moved towards the depths of the basement, while Wang Xiaoming followed behind him, letting him lead the way.

Walking all the way to the depths of the basement, in front of a ten-meter-high gate, Wang Xiaoming finally met that Luos.

As for why I said he was Luos, it was because he was the only guy in this kind of place who was still sitting on a gorgeous long chair, and the clothes he wore were completely different from everyone else. Obviously, he was the boss of this community, and he showed the appearance of a second-generation ancestor to the fullest.

"Huh?"

Luos, who was sitting in the chair, saw the embarrassed team leader and immediately became unhappy.

"Why did you come here, and in such a disheveled state? Don't tell me you've already been taken care of."

"No, I'm here to see the situation here. The outside is under attack by the Demon King. The Demon King is using flames to attack. The other party seems to hold a very powerful fire-based gift."

"So, you came here just to tell me that the other party has a fire-based gift?"

Luos opened his big and small eyes unhappily, the left one big and the right one small, his mouth open, staring at the team leader with a standard villainous face.

"No, because until now, we haven't found any information about this Demon King, so I came to see if you have any information here."

"You useless thing, wasting time here, you might as well just give me...."

Just as Luos was about to say something, his body suddenly jumped up from the chair uncontrollably and pounced forward.

Also pouncing out was the team leader next to him. He also rushed out directly, came behind Luos, and then the two of them knelt down on one knee together, raising their hands together.

"This is! ! !"

Luos's eyes widened instantly, while the team leader next to him understood immediately.

"It's the Demon King! The Demon King is here!"

"Tch, didn't you just say that the Demon King was attacking outside, why would he come here!"

"It's... it's me..."

The squad leader understood. It was because of his arrival that the Demon Lord had been brought here. Even though he had cloaked himself, the other party had still discovered him and followed him.

"You useless piece of trash!"

Even kneeling, Luos didn't forget to continue berating the squad leader next to him, completely unconcerned about his current state. Wang Xiaoming, who was standing in front of him with his sword raised, couldn't bear to watch any longer.

"You really are something. Even in this state, you're still blaming your loyal subordinate."

As soon as Wang Xiaoming spoke, his presence immediately returned, and the other party finally saw him.

"When did you--?!"

Luos looked at Wang Xiaoming standing in front of him in shock.

"Ah~ ~ Sorry, sorry. I wasn't planning on showing myself, but if people see what I look like, it'll be troublesome."

Looking at the surprised Luos, Wang Xiaoming grinned.

"It's a lot of trouble if people see what I look like."

"You..."

Luos looked at the sword in Wang Xiaoming's hand and his appearance, and he had a guess.

"Are you from Celtic?"

"Emmm...."

"You're unwilling to admit it? That's right. After all, if people knew that you, who originated from the Celtic pantheon, were attacking us Perseus, it would cause a war between the Celtic and Greek pantheons, wouldn't it? Did the Queen send you?"

"Emmm...."

"Looks like I guessed right. It's really surprising. That Queen would actually take a fancy to a small Perseus like me. I don't remember having anything here that would catch Her Majesty's eye."

Luos paused after speaking.

"Wait, could it be that the Queen wants Algol?!"

"Emmm...."

"Damn it, she actually wants my things!"

Looking at Luos's shocked expression, Wang Xiaoming's mind was filled with questions. What the hell are you talking about? Why can't I understand anything?

"I won't let you succeed. Since you want Algol, then come and get it yourself!"

Before Wang Xiaoming could say a word, Luos directly released his Gift.

"Awaken, Demon Lord Algol!"

The Gorgon pendant hanging around his neck emitted a black light, directly enveloping the entire base, and then transformed into a huge Gorgon monster behind Luos. This Gorgon monster looked like a woman, with seaweed-like hair similar to Second Master's, and a pair of black wings on her back, looking like a fallen angel. There were also many shackles, chains, and restraints binding her whole body.

"ROAR!!!!!"

After appearing, the Gorgon monster roared for the first time, then broke the restraints on her back, and glared at Wang Xiaoming in front of her.

"Kill him, Algol!"

Algol opened her mouth wide, and black light gathered inside.

Crap!

Wang Xiaoming immediately put away Excalibur and dodged.

The black beam of light brushed past Wang Xiaoming's body and blasted out, directly piercing through the basement, turning into a black-red ball of light in the sky above the base. Then, the ball of light dispersed, enveloping the entire base. In an instant, the entire base was petrified, even the flames raging inside the base were petrified.

The dodging Wang Xiaoming was also directly affected by the light and was not spared. Only Luos in the entire field was not petrified, and even the squad leader beside him was petrified.

Seeing Wang Xiaoming petrified, Luos was finally able to move, but the first thing he did was grab the knife in his hand and directly smash the squad leader's statue next to him.

"Trash! You actually brought people in front of me, making me lose face like this, and even forcing me to use Algol. What a waste!!"

His loyal squad leader was killed by him just like that.

After killing the squad leader, he looked at Wang Xiaoming, who was half-squatting on the ground, petrified after just completing his dodging maneuver.

"Tch, I thought you were some powerful guy, but in front of Algol's petrifying ray, you're still just as useless!"

Luos was about to smash Wang Xiaoming's statue.

But before he could take a step, the statue cracked open on its own.

Crack—

The statue's arm broke open, revealing the intact arm inside. The armor was in its original state, without any changes.

The active arm slammed into its own body, and then the stone on the entire body cracked, and Wang Xiaoming stood in front of Luos unscathed.

"How is that possible!!"

Luos looked at Wang Xiaoming in shock. This was Algol's ultimate Gift, capable of petrifying the entire world, a sure-kill Gift that even gods could not escape.

This guy, after being petrified, can actually undo the petrification on his own. How did he do it!

Wang Xiaoming patted his armor, brushing off the remaining gravel, and replied casually.

"It's just petrification, no big deal. I've experienced things even more exciting than this. What's this?"

"Impossible!"

Luos took a step back in horror, pointing at Wang Xiaoming.

"Algol, get rid of him!"

"ROAR!"

Algol roared again, making Wang Xiaoming want to cover his ears. It was really too loud.

Wang Xiaoming didn't intend to trouble Algol. This guy was a Star Spirit, and she couldn't be killed. Basically, all Star Spirits can't be killed. If you want to kill them, unless you instantly destroy the countless parallel worlds that represent their stars, that kind of thing is too difficult.

Therefore, Wang Xiaoming set his sights on Luos behind Algol. This guy was a summoner. Although Algol was a Demon Lord, she was now considered a Gift. As long as Luos, the master, was dealt with, then this Gift would naturally be cancelled.

After roaring, Algol directly pounced on Wang Xiaoming, but Wang Xiaoming directly activated his Speed Authority.

This was the first time Wang Xiaoming used Speed, instead of summoning Somersault Cloud.

The super speed approaching the speed of light, like teleportation, Wang Xiaoming instantly crossed space and arrived in front of Luos. After he arrived in front of Luos, the air slowly reacted, emitting a powerful sonic boom and shockwave.

"Na...."

Wang Xiaoming, who had arrived in front of Luos, swung his fist, which was flashing red because it had just reached the speed of light and was directly rubbing against the air, in Luos's rapidly enlarging pupils.

"Die! ! !"
