Chapter 257: Did I Really Kill Him?!
Standing on the terrace, Luo Yan's expression remained unchanged, but it was definitely not due to any father-son ties. It was because he was dumbfounded.
???
What's going on?!
Did I just take out Elder Zakeruo?
Luo Yan glanced down at the magic wand in his hand, his heart filled with indescribable absurdity.
"Youyou..."
Youyou, who had been watching the whole show, was also stunned, taking quite a while to regain composure.
"Wha-what's wrong?! Lord Demon King?"
Luo Yan was the same, struggling for a long time before squeezing out a sentence.
"Was... it you?"
"How could it be... I don't have that kind of ability! Eeek! Master! You've leveled up!!" Youyou replied in bewilderment and then suddenly shouted in shock.
As if to prove to his master, Youyou proactively presented the attribute panel.
A dark green dialogue box appeared in front of Luo Yan, reflecting the oddity and confusion on his face.
Well, well...
Did I really kill him!?

Cold, unfeeling data explained everything.
Defeating a Purple Crystal Level powerhouse with Silver level strength... A surge of experience directly made him level up over ten levels, leaping to the threshold of Gold Level!
Luo Yan hadn't even had time to savor the two-digit attribute panel before his intelligence and spirit soared in rapid succession, breaking through into the three-digit range.
The power at Gold Level is a step above Silver, and the attribute increase from ascension surprisingly reached 75 points!
And that wasn't the only thing that shocked him.
Everyone present witnessed Elder Zakeruo die under his magic wand and were deeply awed by his authority, so much so that his faith value directly jumped by 5 million points!
10 million points in faith value were enough to elevate a Gold-level soul to Platinum level...
A combination of sudden ecstasy and perplexed emotions temporarily blanked Luo Yan's mind and left him speechless.
He instinctively turned towards the blood-red temple, seeking answers, but after waiting for a long time, all he was met with was the collapse of the Blood Temple, and nightfall once again.
The sky above Black Wind Castle returned to tranquility, and the oppressive force that resembled raging waves faded quietly as if it never appeared.
His father did not plan to meet him.
But thinking about it makes sense.
From the perspective of the Colin Family, having him take out Elder Zakeruo was the most reasonable outcome; anyone else intervening would cause trouble.
Of course, there's also a possibility that his old man simply didn't give it much thought and was predictably unreliable.
Luo Yan didn't know what Roxey was thinking, so he could only analyze from a rational standpoint.
While he gazed at the sky that had returned to night, players were busy taking screenshots and exclaiming at the awesomeness, some looking at the Lord Demon King with eyes glowing green, while others following quest instructions helped injured soldiers and civilians. Others gathered by damaged war chariots discussing improvement methods.
The injured goblins limped around, cleaning up the aftermath, or took advantage of the chaos to pick up items dropped on the battlefield.
Meanwhile, the Three Demon Generals sitting in the inner courtyard were absolutely stunned.
Looking at everything happening before them, their eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.
"Zakro... is dead?" Glak widened his eyes, the shock gradually transforming into ecstasy.
He laughed wildly, standing up from the ruins despite being covered in wounds. His excitement completely overshadowed his pain; he didn't even feel his ribs moving.
He looked at Luo Yan with an undisguised fervor.
Creatures from Hell revered the strong, especially in places far from Demon City.
The Blood Blade Clan worshipped only the strongest among them.
Though he respected the Demon King's wisdom, pure power evidently fascinated him even more.
Contrary to Glak's ecstasy, Bransia's reaction was the complete opposite.
She slightly parted her lips but found herself unable to utter a single word.
The Elder Zakro who could send her flying with a mere flick, and frighten her to the point where she couldn't stand with just a look, couldn't even last a second in the Lord Demon King's hands!
This is—
Such incredible power!
A morbid flush appeared on the pale, enchanting face; thin thorns crawled out from her wrist, stitching up the torn dress.
Bransia swallowed a mouthful of saliva mixed with blood with difficulty, pulling herself from the wall with effort, then limped toward the muddy chaos beneath the terrace, slowly sinking down on one knee with a devout and solemn expression, as if welcoming the arrival of the Demon God himself.
"Lord Demon King... Please forgive my incompetence, failing to fulfill my role as guard and making you engage personally."
As soon as she finished her words, the Shadow Demon General Thanos flashed and was already kneeling in front of Luo Yan, coughing blood miserably and looking up with a concerned, pallid face.
"Your Majesty... It's good that you're unharmed."
The sappy voice made Glak shiver with goosebumps, casting a disdainful glance at this bootlicker who saw the wind and set his sail.
Who was it that drew the teleportation circle in Thunder City?
Though he had no proof, eliminating himself and the "deeply concealed" Bransia, the only one with the necessary infiltration capabilities and who liked playing crafty tricks must be him.
