Chapter 70: Heading for the Underground Palace
Shortly after the Demon King's regular meeting, at the main entrance of the palace, a special team of five people, no, four demons and one immortal was quickly assembled.
Although the speed of the assembly was quite fast, the reason why it was slow to set off was ......
"No, I'm going with you! I'll leave everything to you in my absence, Franlot! ”
The Demon King, who was supposed to come to give the investigation team a task, has now become the biggest obstacle to the investigation team's departure. She hugged Kilgaru like a spoiled child and refused to let go.
"Absolutely not!"
The Demon King's words were refuted by everyone present in unison.
"I've decided! If this is a trap set by Jestarot, Lulu is too dangerous! ”
The unanimous opposition of everyone seemed to make the Demon King's determination even stronger.
Just when everyone was at a loss because of the Demon King's willfulness, Franlot saluted the Demon King slightly and said in a calm tone.
"Your Highness the Demon King, if this is really a trap set by Jestalott, you can stay here to ensure the safety of Kilgaru."
The Demon King looked at Franlot with a suspicious expression.
"His Royal Highness the Demon King, please think about it calmly, you are the person that Jestarrot fears the most, if this underground labyrinth is really a trap, then after you enter, the other party will launch a full attack, of course, with your strength, you can get out of trouble safely, but the rest of the people are difficult to say. If you stay here, the other party will be afraid and dare not act rashly. Therefore, it is safest for Kilgaru to lead the group alone. ”
"This ......"
Franlot's speech was very logical, and everyone showed a look of sudden realization after listening to his words, and he deserved to be a terrible person with the title of "think tank" in the Eastern Continent.
The Demon King fell into a brief silence, and after seriously pondering Farranlot's words, she looked at Kilgaru and said in a tone that was still a little worried.
"I see, then Lulu, you must be careful after entering the underground palace, if you feel bad, just use them as meat shields and retreat!"
Then she quickly turned to the four men who were traveling with Kirgaru, and ordered loudly in a stern tone.
"Even if you die, you must protect Lulu's safety, if you dare to leave him and escape alone, just wait to accept my pursuit!"
"Yes! His Highness the Demon King! ”
Although no matter how you think about it, you feel that the demon king's request is a bit excessive, and it seems that he has directly abandoned his subordinates, but the four demons have given a resounding response without hesitation as if they had accepted a glorious mission.
There was not the slightest complaint in their tones, which was the absolute loyalty of being a member of the Demon King's Guardian.
"Sissy, don't worry, I'll be back soon, with my current strength, there will be no problem!"
Seeing Checia's exaggerated concern, Kilgaru comforted in a confident tone.
"My subordinates will also be on guard on the periphery, please rest assured that His Highness the Demon King."
"I'll also increase the border guards in that area, meow~"
Franlot and Heremio also assured the Demon King at the same time.
In this way, the investigation team was finally able to set off.
The survey team moved in an "X" formation towards the border area where the underground palace was located at high speed.
Kilgaru was in the center of the formation, and in the front left was the "Hundred-Eyed Demon" that looked like a rotting octopus and was covered in eyes. "This demon is not very powerful, but it is an expert in detecting magic and eliminating traps. In the front right is the "Armored Demon" that looks like a heavily armored knight, a demon that is extremely good at physical defense.
The two demons guarding Kilgaru's back are a disembodied nebula mystery that resembles a black mist, and a shapeshifter that looks like an agar aggregate. Nebula Mystery has the ability to devour magic and is very resistant to magic, while Transfiguration can transform into any form as the name suggests, making it a great choice to confuse opponents.
The four demons responsible for guarding Kilgaru are all in the lower echelons of the entire Eastern Continent in terms of attack ability, but they are the best combination for the purpose of protecting Kilgaru.
Armor and Nebula Mystery are able to withstand physical and magical damage, Cenopus is able to spot traps and enemies in time, and if it is necessary to retreat, the Transfiguration can transform into Kirgaru form to lure opponents away.
From this point of view, the selection of these guards was quite thoughtful.
"Lord Kilgaru, we're almost there!"
The White-Eyed Demon flying forward in a strange oblique position stretched out a tentacle and pointed forward.
"Yes."
Kilgaru nodded slightly, remembering that the last time he explored the catacombs with him were almost all dead, it made him feel a little sad in his heart, and of course, this feeling quickly disappeared due to the ability to neutralize negative emotions.
"Ready to land!"
Kilgaru gave orders to the four guards and slowly lowered his altitude.
However, Kilgaru's team is not the only one that is rapidly moving towards the underground labyrinth.
In the western part of Othdra, in the area under the jurisdiction of the Demon Lord Jestarrot, six demons are also heading towards the underground labyrinth.
The six demons who advanced in the formation of the previous two and four knew at a glance that there was an absolute level gap, and the two demons in the front were significantly higher in status than the four in the back, and they should belong to the relationship between master and servant.
In fact, the two demons in the forefront are the members of the "Eight Lords" in the "Twenty-Four Demon Generals", and now that the Demon Lord and the Big Four have all gone to the Jurran Continent, they are the highest-ranking people in the Western Continent.
"You mean this underground palace is very likely to be related to the 'Progenitor' Franlot?"
The demon with a strong physique and the appearance of a mixture of various beasts looked at his companion beside him, he was one of the "Eight Lords" of the Hundred Beast Demons - Karma Amos.
"Chances are, although I don't know what the purpose of building this underground palace is, it will definitely not be a good thing if it is really that guy who has been trying to weaken us."
Answering Karma Amos's questions in a mechanically hoarse voice is Harris, the Shadow Demon, who is also one of the "Eight Lords".
"Shouldn't we report this matter to Lord Mojo?"
"You limb and simple-minded fool, what if this underground palace is just an ordinary ruin, reporting such a trivial matter to the Demon Lord will make the others laugh. So let's go investigate it first, and if it's really Franklot's ghost, it's not too late to report to the Demon Lord! If it's just a relic, hehe, then the treasure inside is ours. ”
"I see, hahahaha, then I hope he's just a relic."
A large amount of treasure seemed to appear in front of him, and Karma Amos let out a greedy laugh.
