Chapter 483 Mission: Kill the Flame Demon Emperor
Illidan quietly fell from the air to the ground where magma was already churning. The Fire Demon Emperor had regained consciousness, so the ceremony was naturally suspended. In the magma lake in the distance, most of the energy in the demons and flame creatures has been exhausted, and they no longer have the power to continue to provide flame energy even before the ceremony ends.
Now Illidan's Balrog body has stored a large amount of fire energy. The next thing he has to do is to digest this huge energy, and then he can naturally rise to the epic level.
Compared with ordinary demons who need to absorb demon hearts to accumulate energy and advance with difficulty, creatures such as Balrogs and Fire Elves in the Lava Kingdom are much happier. In the lava kingdom, magma flows everywhere, and a large amount of fire energy is readily available. These elemental creatures only need to absorb a large amount of flame energy from the outside world and purify it to enhance their strength and advance.
It is precisely because of this that the Lava Kingdom has become a rare united force among demons - because the creatures in the Lava Kingdom only need to absorb fire energy from the outside world, and there is no resource dispute such as fighting for the devil's heart.
Although the distance was far away, Illidan could still feel the might of the Fire Demon Emperor dominating the world. Both are at the mythical level, and the veteran powerhouse Emperor Yanma is much more powerful than Illidan, the guy who has just advanced.
After staying there and hesitating for a while, Illidan finally chose to lurk here temporarily instead of going directly to where the Fire Demon Emperor was.
Illidan had also thought about relying on his current identity as the Balrog to gain trust from the Balrog Emperor, learn information and even do more things. But after all, he only transformed into the Balrog and did not acquire the memory of the Balrog he incarnated. If the truth is revealed in front of the Flame Demon Emperor, it will definitely be a very troublesome matter.
Besides, now that the Balrog body concentrates on digesting energy for a period of time, it can reach the epic level. Compared with a legendary Balrog, the weight of an epic Balrog is definitely heavier. If you want to get into the core of Lava Country, it's better to make your external strength stronger.
In this way, Illidan sneaked into a lava cave that had just erupted, and quietly began to digest the intercepted pure flame energy that was originally offered to the Fire Demon Emperor.
Although Illidan settled down with great concentration, the entire demon world became somewhat turbulent due to the resurrection of the Fire Demon Emperor.
When the Flame Demon Emperor revived, the entire Lava Kingdom underwent some changes. These changes also informed the entire demon world of the resurrection of the Fire Demon Emperor. The reappearance of such a veteran mythical powerhouse immediately attracted the attention of almost all demon kings.
Even ordinary demons have long lifespans. In fact, due to the relatively chaotic social structure of the demon world and the large number of fights between demons, few demons die at the end of their lives.
However, at the stage of the Demon King, fewer people died due to fighting. Therefore, a large part of the demon kings who participated in the battle when Emperor Enma attempted to unify the demon world have survived to this day.
These demon kings naturally have fresh memories of the powerful and arrogant Flame Demon Emperor, and they will not forget the threats faced by the demon kings in Wuyuan Land at that time.
In the center of Wuyuan Land, in a demon city that was much larger than Piccolo Demon City, several demon kings were discussing something worriedly.
The demon sitting at the top of the hall was obviously the person in charge, but it did not say a word, but quietly watched the other demon kings talking.
"I didn't expect the Flame Demon Emperor to wake up so quickly. According to its injuries at the time, it should have accumulated energy for thousands of years." A bloated and ugly demon king said with some confusion.
A thin little devil sitting opposite it responded to its question with a solemn and somewhat regretful expression.
"Some time ago, I heard that there seemed to be some changes in the Lava Kingdom. It seemed that some demons were connecting various tribes in the Lava Kingdom. However, because the Lava Kingdom was too exclusive, I was unable to find out the details in the end."
"I didn't expect that those tribes were gathered together to provide energy for the resurrection of the Fire Demon Emperor! I should have thought of it earlier, alas!" The thin demon king now regrets it very much. He should have paid more attention to the news at that time.
Following the words of the thin demon king, the other demon kings also spoke one after another. However, all they said were words of surprise at the Flame Demon Emperor's resurrection, and they did not get to the point. The Demon King sitting at the top listened quietly for a while at first, but soon became impatient.
"Everyone, please be quiet." A low but majestic voice sounded, immediately causing the several demon kings who were discussing endlessly to stop talking and all look at their leader.
"What we have to do now is not to wonder why Ragnaros was able to wake up thousands of years in advance, nor to regret why we did not organize the operation of the Lava Kingdom. Now that Ragnaros's awakening is an established fact, what we have to do now is Discuss how to face this Lord of Fire."
Unlike other demon kings, the demon king sitting in the top position did not use the name Balrog Emperor. Instead, he was called Ragnaros or the Lord of Balrogs.
The demon kings below were not surprised either. Ragnaros is the real name of the Fire Demon Emperor, but ordinary demons and even ordinary demon kings would not dare to call the Fire Demon Emperor that way. Only a strong man like their leader, who is only one step away from the mythical level, has the confidence to call him that.
This powerful demon king who has several demon kings as subordinates is Dia, the first demon king of the Abyss Land. When the Flame Demon Emperor conquered the Abyss Land, it was Dia who took the lead in uniting all the demon castles and finally put the Flame Demon Emperor into a deep sleep.
Since then, Dia has been trying to enter the myth level, but it is a pity that more than a thousand years have passed and he still has not succeeded.
Hearing Dia's words, the demon kings below looked at each other for a while, and finally the thin demon king spoke first.
"Lord Dia, actually we don't need to worry too much." A trace of relief appeared on the face of the thin demon king.
"Although it is not clear in advance that the Flame Demons and fire creatures of the Lava Kingdom gathered together to awaken the Flame Demon Emperor, everyone present should be very clear about the consequences of this behavior."
"The Flame Demon Emperor has awakened now, but he awakened by relying on the energy provided by a large number of subordinates rather than absorbing and converting energy to awaken himself. For the time being, he may not have the strength to almost sweep across the Wuyuan Land as he did a thousand years ago."
"In addition, in order to awaken the Flame Demon Emperor, the creatures of the Lava Kingdom have all extracted their own energy for sacrifice. The consequence they have to bear is that the strength of many Flame Demons and fire creatures will be greatly reduced. In other words, the overall strength of the Lava Kingdom is probably now much lower."
"In this way, we don't have to worry about the Lava Kingdom repeating the situation that threatened the entire demon world a thousand years ago." The words of the thin demon king made the other demon kings, including the top demon king Dia, nod slightly to express their agreement.
However, the bloated demon king opposite it had a new question: "Dui Rui, what you said seems to make sense. But the Flame Demon Emperor would not know that doing so would cause its own strength to be temporarily incomplete and consume the power of the Lava Kingdom. In this case, why does it still do this?"
As soon as the words came out, the bloated demon king found that the other demon kings looked at him with contempt. It couldn't help but panic, and hurriedly waved its hands and asked: "Hey, what are you looking at?"
The thin demon king, whom it called Du Rui, sighed and woke it up. "Polo, have you forgotten what time it is now?"
Polo Demon King frowned, and after a moment, he suddenly realized. "Holy War!"
…………
In the Ice Purgatory corresponding to the Lava Kingdom, Zhou Kang, who was sitting on the Frozen Throne, suddenly opened his eyes. "Huh? There is a new task again?" After talking to himself, he opened the system panel.
What he saw was a new task marked in red.
"Mission objective: Kill the Flame Demon Emperor. The Flame Demon Emperor will be a major obstacle to the undead attacking the demon world, and this obstacle needs to be completely eliminated! Mission difficulty: SS level. Mission reward: Increase the upper limit of the copy hero's level by two levels."
"Note: Due to the difficulty of the mission, the upper limit of the copy hero's level will be temporarily increased by one level after accepting the mission. If the mission fails, the increase will be invalid."
The Flame Demon Emperor?! Zhou Kang was shocked. Having survived in the demon world for more than two years, he naturally knew the existence of this mythical powerful person. But what he didn't expect was that the system actually gave him the task of killing this mythical existence.
Just looking at the two Ss on the mission difficulty, Zhou Kang felt that the corners of his mouth were twitching constantly. Initiating a small undead disaster in another world is only A-level difficulty, which shows how difficult this mission is.
But the reward of the mission made Zhou Kang salivate. The only epic subordinates he has now are the original copies of four heroes. If the upper limit of the level of the copied hero can be raised by two levels, it will be from level 6 to level 8 - this is a change from legendary to epic!
More importantly, as long as the task is accepted, the upper limit of the level of the copied hero can be raised by one level first! Although the note of advance payment of part of the reward further illustrates the difficulty of the task, the temptation of greatly improving one's own strength is hard for Zhou Kang to refuse.
After gritting his teeth, Zhou Kang finally did not refuse this extremely difficult task and clicked "Accept".
