Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!
Chapter 391: There Is Only One Answer

Chapter 391: Chapter 391: There Is Only One Answer

Under the effects of the Revive Elixir, Iyas’s stamina was fully restored, and her body became exceptionally lightweight.

Even though Lund had enhanced his Attack and Speed using the Skill "Berserk," Iyas was still able to dodge the majority of Lund’s attacks thanks to her own reflexes.

This was one of the combat skills she had learned from Yang Yu.

In order to ensure perfect coordination within the team, Yang Yu always tirelessly found time to teach them the secrets of combat.

Notching her arrow onto the bowstring, Iyas stopped attacking indiscriminately, draining her own stamina, instead moving around and seeking her opponent’s vulnerabilities, waiting to strike only when she was confident she could land a hit.

Pulling the arrow from his chest, unmindful of the fresh blood staining his clothes, Lund continued swinging his Meteor Hammer at Iyas. The heavy hammer head pushed aside all obstacles in its path, crashing into the ground and tearing open countless fissures with its terrifying force.

The shards of stone that splashed up flew towards Iyas. She carefully avoided her vital points, drew back her bow, and with a "whoosh," the slender arrow silently disappeared mid-air, reappearing the next second embedded in Lund’s chest, targeting the wound.

This was the combination of "Hunter Mark" and "Guaranteed Hit Arrow," which, even if "Guaranteed Hit Arrow" itself didn’t have a high attack ceiling, ensured a silent and one hundred percent successful hit.

The arrow, disappearing and then suddenly reappearing, caused Lund to furrow his brow. He covered his chest with his hand, adding a new cut to it and thereby avoiding the blow that could possibly have reached his heart.

Pulling the arrow from his palm, Lund roared,

"You! For a student who doesn’t listen, the harshest punishment is due. For the sin of defying a teacher, you’ll repay with the same pain of flesh and blood!"

A red glow emanated from the Meteor Hammer which doubled in size in an instant, and with both hands, Lund hurled it down towards Iyas from above.

In mid-air, the Meteor Hammer split surprisingly into three.

The Skills Lund used were named "Attack Extension" and "Triple Strike," both designed to increase the range of attacks. Paired with the Meteor Hammer, a semi-ranged weapon with area effect, the enhancement was extremely notable.

Even if Iyas was naive, she knew it was impossible to remain unscathed under such a wide-reaching attack.

Her opponent had clearly become serious.

With no escape, she could only think about minimizing the injury to herself.

She fired the arrow from her hands at random and, with the force of her legs, she sprung to the ground, just as the three huge Meteor Hammers thundered down behind her.

The powerful shockwave stirred up a gust of wind, covering Iyas’s floating golden hair with a layer of dust. The thunderous impact of the Meteor Hammers hitting the ground resonated through the floor into Iyas’s ears, causing a ringing.

Blood flowed from her right ankle, where a conjured Meteor Hammer had missed striking her foot, but the stonework of the floor, smashed by the hammer’s landing, had mercilessly broken her ankle.

As the effects of "Attack Extension" wore off and the Meteor Hammer returned to its original size and shape, Lund picked it up and walked towards Iyas.

Seeing Iyas’s injury to her ankle, a cold expression appeared beneath Lund’s Knight Helmet,

"It’s over now."

Lund bent down to pick up the empty vial Iyas had dropped and sniffed the bottle,

"So it was that kind of potion. Such an expensive potion, used by a slave like you, truly a waste of heaven’s gifts."

Xidelaistra had also auctioned resurrection medicine, and Lund, having once sniffed it out of intense curiosity, could never forget that enchanting, refreshing fragrance that delighted the heart and soul.

Even though I could only afford to sniff it, Iyas didn’t hesitate to use it...

"As a slave, you don’t deserve to use such high-quality Potions.

Instead, you should use inferior Herbal Medicine, to let your wounds scab over and ache incessantly, to ensure you never forget the consequences of defying your teacher."

Lund awkwardly squeezed a drop of Potion from the empty bottle and tasted it; the wound on his chest immediately began to heal faster.

"I always feel that the Holy Light within it is very similar to the Holy Light you just emitted...

I remember now, you were the one they rescued from Silver Orchid Commerce.

Why did these Potions stop production after you were rescued, and why did Silver Orchid Commerce go to such lengths to capture you back, completely erasing those two people?

There is only one answer, you are one of the raw materials used in making these Potions.

Your intrinsic value greatly exceeds expectations, worth tens of millions. Silver Orchid Commerce wants to take you back, they got quite the deal.

It’s time for me to step in, carefully train you, and then have Hei Yao inflate your price, make a huge profit.

Then, the commerce will regain confidence in my training skills and have me manage every Slave."

Thinking of the not-so-distant future where he could rise above others and treat Slaves with unbridled cruelty, a twisted smile emerged from beneath Lund’s Knight Helmet.

But soon, Lund’s twisted smile abruptly stopped.

In his narrow vision, there was not a hint of Despair on Iyas’s face; instead, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

Just as Lund was about to loudly question what Iyas was smiling at, the sound of something Collapsing reached his ears.

Using both hands to push against the broken ground, Iyas sat back against the corner of the wall; up to now, Lund’s Attack had always been contained within a certain area. Since she couldn’t break the wall herself, she’d let something that could do the job.

The stones behind Iyas suddenly collapsed, and the cracked fissures swallowed her body like a black hole.

Suddenly realizing Iyas’s true intention, Lund grabbed the Meteor Hammer and swung it at Iyas, but he was a step too late. The hammer didn’t touch her body and instead got caught in the fissure.

"Damn it! To be tricked by a mere Slave!"

Howling, Lund violently yanked the Meteor Hammer from the crevice, swinging it wildly to create an even larger gap in the wall at an angle, until it was big enough for him to fit through. Then he leaped into the damp sewer.

Xidelaistra is a city built along a river. To prevent the city from flooding during the flood season, structures were built as high as possible and boasted an exaggerated drainage system.

The sewer was intended to relieve urban water accumulation and prevent floods, so even though it was gloomy, it was cleaner than one might expect.

Lund could even see the fresh traces of Iyas’s blood on the sides of the pathway, which were not tainted with a drop of dirty water.

It seemed that in the instant she fell, she used the broken stones beneath her feet to perform a leap with a single foot.

"Quite capable, unexpectedly so. It’s just a pity you won’t be leaping around much longer."

Following the trail of Iyas’s blood, Lund pursued her.
