The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Watching the BOSS rush into the Lord's Mansion, the players panicked and swarmed forward without worrying about anything like death.

"Damn!"

"Father!!! Run away quickly!"

"Quick! Protect him!"

...

The Lord's Mansion of Black Wind Castle stood quietly outside the flames of war, surrounded by thick walls. The three-story obsidian building gleamed with cold magic lights in the night, forming a stark contrast with the burning Goblin community in the distance.

Luo Yan stood on the terrace of the Lord's Mansion, hands folded, gazing at the scarlet sky, a faint and elusive smile on his lips.

He knew his father would come to save him.

This was his biggest trump card.

And also the source of the ninety percent confidence he mentioned when talking with Feistin.

From the moment Zakro stepped into Black Wind Castle, his fate of inevitable death was sealed. Even if all the Demons in the Demon City wanted him to live, he wouldn't escape the desire of one person wanting him dead—

This person wasn't even Luo Yan himself.

It was Roxey Colin.

Zakro would never understand. After all, he had never loved anyone or truly had any family. To him, everyone was just a tool to use, even his son, his grandson. If he had an illegitimate child, he would probably wish the guy dead himself and wouldn't hesitate to do it... Thus, he assumed Roxey Colin thought the same way.

He couldn't have imagined that Roxey would be waiting here for him to deliver himself.

"I thought you were planning to wait for things to escalate, and then have the Truth Department clean up," said Youyou in a voice full of emotion as he floated next to Luo Yan. "I didn't expect it to be... your father."

Luo Yan smiled faintly.

"The Truth Department is probably more willing to collect my corpse."

His voice was very calm, as if he wasn't discussing himself.

Humans are indeed protected animals, but that's something to say in school. Some theories work for teachers and classmates, but outside... like Baron Avister doesn't care a bit when he challenges me to a duel?

Youyou tilted his abstract head in confusion.

"But... you're the Demon King. If you die, wouldn't the Maze of Thunder County be ruined?"

Luo Yan responded slowly.

"If you assume a non-existent 'higher power' and abstract it into a cold machine, then this logic holds. But if you stand in the specific position of someone like Minister of Religion Goliath, you would probably draw a completely different conclusion and wouldn't be surprised at all why the Truth Department hasn't shown up yet."

The distance from here to the Demon City is indeed quite far, probably about a hundred kilometers, but that's not the issue.

If they really wanted to catch Zakro, they could have just camped in Black Wind Castle for 24 hours, and if they couldn't catch him, they'd keep waiting, enduring more than anyone—just like my father.

As for the Demon God—

From the day he saw Youyou, he had been questioning the state of the Demon God.

Youyou looked at the Demon King in bewilderment and asked softly.

"Then how did you know that Roxey was here?"

Luo Yan replied without hesitation.

"He must be here; otherwise, he would regret it for the rest of his life."

The Blood Race's ability to hide is no less than that of the Shadow Demon, and they can lie in coffins like lying in hibernation pods, making it much harder to find a lurking Blood Race than a Horror Demon.

Luo Yan didn't expect the Goblin community to discover any clues at all, but he believed his father was more anxious than he was the moment Zakro became a fugitive.

Is this manipulation?

Luo Yan wasn't actually sure.

But he thought that if his child were in danger, even an illegitimate child, he would do something similar.

Youyou was filled with admiration.

"...as expected of Lord Demon King, you even accounted for this step!"

Ignoring Youyou's flattery, Luo Yan pondered for a moment and then continued.

"There's only one thing I can't understand now... Youyou, can you smell it?"

Youyou asked curiously.

"Smell what?"

"A bad scent," Luo Yan furrowed his brows slightly, "that reminds me of Novel."

Youyou looked at him in astonishment.

"Deceitful Fog?! Are you saying... Zakro is a Madman? But how could it be... I don't sense the aura of Chaos from him."

"Yes," Luo Yan nodded, "that's the problem."

Perhaps—

Someone else made a deal with Novel?

Youyou cautiously asked.

"Could it be that you're overthinking it?"

Luo Yan replied ambiguously.

"I hope so."

...

As the "person" and "dog" chatted idly, the distant battle situation changed.

Suddenly, Zakro unleashed his Domain, and the world instantly plunged into a deep black, as if the entire world were enveloped in endless fear.

However, this change didn't last long, as a blood-red palace suddenly spread out, not only completely covering Zakro's Domain but also dyeing the world in a blood-soaked red!

It was Roxey's Domain!

A true Domain, unlike the fake one of Zakro's.

Luo Yan did not expect that his father could be this powerful!

"This is the power of a Master Level..." Luo Yan muttered to himself, his eyes flickering, and his voice carrying a hint of undisguisable shock.

He had heard that Demigod level experts could create their own realm in limited space, writing their own rules, but he hadn't expected Master level experts to do the same.
