Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!
Chapter 339: You’re Just Being Stubborn as a Dead Duck

Chapter 339: Chapter 339: You’re Just Being Stubborn as a Dead Duck

Bai Jin watched Sena closely, especially when she saw Sena’s eyes with the star patterns, she couldn’t help but feel uneasy.

Those eyes, shining like the stars in the sky, Bai Jin knew of them as well.

Their name was "Star Eye," capable of seeing the magic flowing inside others.

Those with such eyes, through diligent training, could even effortlessly locate the points where magic converged.

Unfortunately, the power of the "Star Eye" was limited to seeing through the weak points of magic, and if someone with these eyes didn’t have a way to break through the magic, they couldn’t weaken its power.

Legend had it that a companion of the Hero also possessed such eyes. He had thoroughly understood the laws of all magics, able to use the power of the Star Eye to instantly capture the weak point of each spell and had a method to breach it, thereby reducing the magic’s power by over ninety percent in a single strike.

That person once single-handedly blocked a full-powered magic attack from the Demon King, helping the Hero and their companions escape from danger and towards safety.

In the end, that companion of the Hero, as a Hero, fell forever on the battlefield against the Demon King Army.

It was a rather tragic story.

Soon, the Demon King would descend into this world.

To survive, they had to keep getting stronger.

If the team had someone who could weaken magic, their chances of survival would greatly increase.

As she followed Iyas out of the inn, images of Yang Yu and Sena chatting affectionately flashed through Bai Jin’s eyes, a touch of bitterness unexpectedly sprouted in her heart.

What this bitterness was, Bai Jin vaguely realized.

She harbored feelings known as jealousy.

Seeing Sena act as if she belonged, casually introducing herself before asking to see the creature He Meng carried on his back.

Sena’s straightforward nature, along with her pure and cute appearance, gave Bai Jin an unprecedented sense of crisis.

Clutching her magic wand tightly, she couldn’t help but let out a strange laugh,

"What luck you have, always snagging such a variety of cute girls... hehehe, indeed every time it’s someone different, I should have gotten used to it by now. I know better than anyone what kind of person you are, the moment you see a pretty girl you’re utterly enchanted..."

As she spoke, Bai Jin bowed her head, muttering softly,

"If only I could be as pretty as her, would he then stop so carelessly bringing girls around..."

Bai Jin sneaked a glance at Iyas standing beside her.

Perhaps, she was overthinking, if Yang Yu were that kind of person, he would’ve already been intimately involved with Iyas, and the person who had come this time would probably also be...

A good person, right?

Watching Bai Jin’s facial expressions with interest, Sena twirled the umbrella in her hand, revealing a meaningful smile to Yang Yu,

"So that’s how it is, you’re unexpectedly popular. I think I understand now why you became a Monster Tamer, why you want to become stronger.

With such adorable girls by your side, you must worry a lot about their safety.

That’s exactly why you should focus more on advancing as a Monster Tamer.

It’s not shameful to fight using monsters, build a good relationship with them, and they shall be a source of strength, becoming your steadfast allies.

Using your own limbs to topple enemies isn’t something to be ashamed of."

Yang Yu scratched his head, "I get the feeling you’ve misunderstood something."

Sena’s ability was quite troublesome, she could easily discern the strength of everyone present.

Among them, Yang Yu’s strength was undoubtedly the weakest.

Yang Yu’s main attribute points were put into endurance, with speed as a secondary, and the rest distributed carelessly.

Endurance, as the word implies, increases the ability to sustain combat, while speed primarily refers to movement speed and secondarily to reaction speed.

These two abilities are hard to use as standards for measuring strength in this world.

It was not Yang Yu’s intention to do so.

In his past gaming experience, Blood Volume was likely the most cost-effective Defense Attribute, which is why he mainly focused on Endurance.

Moreover, Endurance also affects the upper limits of mana and stamina.

Having inexhaustible mana and not worrying about fatigue was, for someone like Yang Yu who was known for his endurance in gaming, the best BUFF in the world.

However, solely focusing on Endurance and Speed resulted in Sena, who possessed the Star Eye, believing that Yang Yu lacked strength, and he was continuously protected by Bai Jin, Iyas, and He Meng.

Yang Yu was aware of this,

"I might look weak, but I’m actually the strongest person in this team and the leader of this team."

"You’re just being stubborn."

Luo’s voice rang out again, his pale blue eyes intently fixed on the hood behind Bai Jin.

Though not as sharp as Sena, being a Demon, Luo could judge the strength of a person or a Demon instinctively.

He could clearly sense He Meng’s strength from within Bai Jin’s hood, yet he could not perceive any remarkable talent in Yang Yu.

In Luo’s mind, Yang Yu had firmly established himself as a big talker.

Seemingly unremarkable in appearance, yet possessing such strong Demons; with a bit of training, he could also become an outstanding Monster Tamer.

But the kid’s attitude was indeed irritating, and there needed to be a way to curb his spirit to make it easier for Sena to train him into an excellent Monster Tamer.

In front of his companions, he would definitely act tough.

Now was the best time to propose a duel.

"If you really have strength, then duel with me, not with that Demon, but you yourself fight me.

If you can defeat me, I won’t say anything more. But if you lose, you have to fight together with your Demon, engaging in a Demon duel.

Don’t worry; even if you can’t defeat my Family Head, my Family Head will definitely show mercy and you won’t have to worry about getting hurt."

Yang Yu scratched his head, "Didn’t I say it from the start? I didn’t take in Demons because I wanted to use their power to become stronger, and I can’t force them to fight.

So after you win, this thing about making them fight you, I can’t agree to that.

Whether or not they’re willing to duel with you, you should ask them."

Stepping forward, Yang Yu reached behind Bai Jin’s hood and pulled out the soundly sleeping He Meng, tossing him toward Sena.

Sena hastily released Luo to catch the ball-shaped object flying towards her, ensuring the Demon was unharmed. With an angry look at Yang Yu, she said,

"How could you treat it like this, when it’s supposed to be your companion? Good thing I reacted in time. What if it got hurt falling to the ground?"

"Demons are tougher than you think, and besides, the one in your hands is the type that wouldn’t get hurt from a high fall. You didn’t need to catch it in such a panic. Look, you’ve given your little female cat a shock."

Landing firmly on the ground, Luo’s eyes emitted a cold light, as if he was about to freeze all the surrounding air,

"You jerk!"

Luo, unable to hold back any longer, let out a roar, raising his paw as three Sharp ice cones formed upon it. But before he could strike, Sena once again called him off,

"Wait a minute, Luo. Maybe, as he said, there’s no need for us to be so flustered."

With her gaze fixed on the gelatinous creature she was holding, Sena’s eyes widened in disbelief.
