The third round of the confrontation began.

When the card-drawing session and the drawing-lots session ended, wailing was everywhere, but cruel fate would not be stopped by time.

The scene soon began to change.

A battlefield presenting multiple '#' shaped patterns appeared.

This battlefield had many areas and many corners, and the space was extremely three-dimensional.

If the Braves could make good use of the terrain, although they might not be able to defeat the Demon King, perhaps there really was a chance to escape from the Demon King's hands.

Sword Brave, Shield Brave, Axe Brave, Magic Brave, Shepherd Brave, Array Brave, Bow Brave...

Many warriors of different professions... were teleported to the battlefield after a burst of dizziness and assigned to different positions.

Also descending on the battlefield were twenty-three Demon Kings.

The Demon Kings had no distinctions, there was no professional division, but the Demon Kings were proficient in summoning, magic, physical arts, long-range, healing, spirit...

The Demon King's skills all had cooldowns, but the range was large and the damage was high.

The huge battlefield was divided into the plaza area, which was a huge plain, and then, it was a continuous '#' shaped area.

In the '#' shaped area, one would encounter intersections from time to time, presenting choices.

This was Area Four.

At the moment, Zheng Zai, who had turned into a Shield Brave, was in trouble.

Beside Zheng Zai, there were a total of thirty-five warriors, but the professional lineup was unbalanced.

Seven Sword Braves, Shepherd Braves, that is, nurses, totaled nineteen! And Shield Braves, there were only three in total.

The rest were all Bow Braves.

This lineup definitely couldn't beat the Demon King because there were too few Shield Braves. Even if nineteen Shepherd Braves exerted their strength collectively, it was impossible to replace defensive power with healing volume.

Zheng Zai was in trouble.

All the warriors were also in trouble... they faced a choice: at the intersection area, which intersection should they move toward.

Without a doubt, when the number of Demon Kings was twenty-three, all the warriors made a choice—

Can't beat, absolutely can't beat. Facing the Demon King, what they could do was not fight, but find a way to drag out time.

"We... which intersection should we choose?" Because they were all Brave-ized, the appearance differences were almost non-existent.

But everyone's wisdom didn't improve. Zheng Zai observed the surroundings, intending to let the Shepherd Braves and Array Braves try their best to feel the aura in the distance.

After all, these two were stronger than other Braves in terms of spiritual power.

But Zheng Zai suddenly discovered that he couldn't speak.

"Terrible... the negative effect of Silent Marathon has taken effect. Damn it..."

"Little brother Wen is no longer by my side!"

This was undoubtedly the most desperate thing.

Zheng Zai's biggest trump card was Wen Xishu.

But now, Wen Xishu was not here. Several Sword Braves were all strangers.

Even worse things were happening.

"Go left," a Shepherd Brave said.

"Why should I listen to you?" a Bow Brave said.

The Bow Brave had a longer field of vision, and it felt they should go to the middle.

"Among us... could someone have already defected to the Demon King?" a Sword Brave said.

When this chatterbox was opened, Zheng Zai knew... it was over. This group of people had no will to fight. They hadn't even met the Demon King yet, and they had already split. How to fight this?

Originally it should have been choosing a direction to act collectively, but now it had become a self-proving conference.

The weak are like this. When there are strong people outside, they will subconsciously avoid the strong and draw their swords against the weaker ones.

For a time, the intersection was noisy.

Zheng Zai had a premonition that something bad would happen, but at this time, he couldn't leave the collective...

Because a lone Brave would definitely die.

He really wanted to exert his ability, let everyone eliminate doubts, and use a powerful speech to stabilize the military heart.

But Zheng Zai couldn't do it now.

And the even more desperate thing was—

In the intersection on the right, a behemoth had already locked onto them.

Area Seven.

It is normal to have warriors who are afraid of fighting. In fact, such warriors are the most numerous.

But among four hundred people, there are always accidents.

In Area Seven, an encounter occurred at the intersection.

The warriors and Demon King Ten started fighting.

Twenty-two Bow Braves, under the efforts of nine Shield Braves, had a good output space and started shooting frantically!

More than thirty Shepherd Braves were frantically adding blood to the Shield Braves.

"Steel Armor!"

"Extreme Block!"

"Thorn Body!"

The Shield Braves constantly cast skills, resisting the attacks of Demon King Ten.

Without a doubt, this Demon King encountered an ultra-large-scale warrior group that surpassed the Demon King.

And as it happened, because of the combat power gap, what this Demon King encountered was the largest-scale warrior group with combat will.

Its luck was very bad.

But it must be said that the Demon King's ability was really too powerful.

It was huge, constantly releasing various skills. The Shield Braves' shields shattered again and again, their armor was corroded by green poison again and again, and their lives hit the bottom again and again.

Several times, the Demon King almost broke through this defense, but it couldn't withstand the largest group of Shepherd Braves frantically adding blood to the Shield Braves.

And the Shepherd Braves were also exhausted one by one!

But their efforts were effective.

In Area Seven, under the action of the dozens of Bow Braves' ultimate move 'Armor-Piercing Shot', the Demon King's body was already riddled with holes.

"Demon King! Not invincible!"

As long as the warriors in the entire area gather together, as long as no other Demon King appears at this time!

Yes, must accelerate. If another Demon King comes at this time, everyone will die.

Must have more violent output, must let the Shield Braves stand in front!

Shepherd Braves, Shield Braves, Bow Braves, all started to burn with fighting spirit.

Driven by will, the Bow Braves' shooting speed became faster, and the Shield Braves' pain dullness was strengthened!

Even the Shepherd Braves' hand speed became faster.

Actually, they shouldn't have been so smooth.

It was just that this Demon King Ten really wanted to try... if it didn't attack the enemy's back row, just like in the game, using the stupidest way, letting the Shield Braves taunt itself, and acting as if it couldn't see the enemy's back row, could it win?

It really wanted to test... how strong the Demon King was, and whether it could ignore tactics and crush the opponent.

At present, it seems that the Demon King still needs to master some skills.

However, Demon King Ten still didn't intend to use skills, because it wanted to appreciate the opponent's despair.

The Demon King's blood volume dropped to one-third.

For the warriors, victory was in sight.

But just at this time, Demon King Ten activated its card ability.

Split.

This was a magic energy card, a super strong card second only to the Strange God Card.

You will have six clones, the combat attributes are exactly the same as yours, and before the number of clones is lower than two, you will not receive any damage.

When the intersection suddenly had six more Demon Kings, when the shields in front shattered in an instant... when one Shield Brave after another was pierced by the Demon King's sharp claws—

Shepherds, archers, all stopped their actions.

At this time, the Demon King teleported into the Bow Brave group. Without Array Braves, facing the Demon King's face-to-face attack, they had no way.

"Hahahahaha, why don't you shoot anymore? Your arrows caused me quite a bit of damage!"

The huge attribute gap was enough to make people despair, and the Demon King could even use card skills...

This made it even more impossible to see any chance of winning.

When the Demon King teleported over, everyone realized that even without using clones, the Demon King could defeat them.

At the intersection of Area Seven—

Demon King Ten launched a massacre.

The ultra-large-scale warrior group of twenty-two Bow Braves, thirty-one Shepherd Braves, and nine Shield Braves...

Was ruthlessly wiped out.

And the Demon King, whose blood volume was reduced to one-third, after the skill could be released again...

Returned to the peak blood line.

There were sixty Sword Braves, ninety Shield Braves, sixty Axe Braves, fifty Magic Braves, sixty Shepherd Braves, fifty Array Braves, and sixty Bow Braves.

This was the entire warrior lineup, and the death of any warrior would lead to a incomplete lineup, causing one side's power to become weaker.

But this was not the worst part.

The worst part, the one that destroyed people's mental will, was that everyone could see this number.

In other words, everyone could see the number of remaining warriors.

But they couldn't see the number of Demon Kings.

Having entered the battlefield for only ten minutes, one-third of the Bow Braves and half of the Shepherd Braves were killed...

This cast a very thick shadow over everyone's hearts.

No one had any fighting spirit anymore.

Only that man.

Like Area Four, Area Eleven also had a small team wandering around the intersection.

Suddenly, a burst of footsteps came, making a group of people face a great enemy.

This was just a small squad, a squad of Array Braves and Magic Braves, totaling twenty-five people.

Facing the Demon King, although their combat style was strange, they had no chance of winning.

So this group of people was cautious, guarding against all 'sounds'.

When they discovered that it was a lone Sword Brave walking out from the shadows in the distance...

The crowd breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey, do you want to join us?" The one who spoke was a Magic Brave. Good at fire-type magic long-range attacks.

Magic damage could cause high damage, but it depended on the Demon King's elemental resistance.

The Demon King's ability could determine its own elemental resistance, so it needed the mage to judge.

However, generally speaking, as long as the mage was not disturbed, he could output very high output, and the mage also had a certain ability to save his life.

Relatively speaking, Sword Braves, Axe Braves, such pure melee, were really all cannon fodder.

This team had no Shield Braves. These Array Braves and Magic Braves, of course, were not out of kindness to let the Sword Brave join, just thinking that with a melee fighter, it was better than nothing.

With a melee fighter to die, the mages and array masters could rest assured to cast spells and set up arrays, right?

What the Sword Brave originally said was:

"Why is it a group of Braves, why hasn't the Demon King appeared yet."

This was the Sword Brave's original words, but because of the language expression ability -4. Word-meaning-not-conveying effect +3. Language-emotion-mobilizing ability -2...

What others heard was:

"Get lost, are you worthy of being my teammates?"

This also caused the atmosphere to suddenly become tense.

The Sword Brave himself heard it too, and what blurted out was such a sentence...

This was good, he was sure it was better not to open his mouth.

It was also at this time that the battlefield had variables. At the bottom of the intersection, the Demon King hunting the Braves—appeared.

Unlike the Sword Brave's footsteps, the Demon King's footsteps were accompanied by a huge pressure on the aura, as well as the trembling sound of giant objects stepping on the ground.

"It's the Demon King! Quick, set up the array and transfer! Set up the array and transfer! Fire wall!"

The warriors were panicked, but the response was still correct.

Facing the Demon King, first think of ways to use fire walls, ice walls, and other spells to block the Demon King's footsteps.

Then, together with the Array Braves, use the teleportation array to leave.

But not to mention... their fire walls and ice walls had no effect on the Demon King who obtained the 'Deceleration Resistance' magic energy card—

Even if it had an effect, these Magic Braves would be wiped out.

Because the Array Braves ran away.

Releasing an array that could carry others away was too slow. But if it was just transferring oneself, it could be much faster.

When the Magic Braves desperately cast spells, they were just fighting for time for the Array Braves.

Demon King Twenty-Two released a large amount of poison. Only the Shield Brave's body could resist the poison without dying instantly.

But for others, this poison was enough to cause the team to be wiped out in an instant.

When the green poison passed through the spell barrier and fell on the Magic Braves and the individual Array Braves who had not yet escaped...

Everyone outside the battlefield was even more desperate.

Because the number of Magic Braves was reduced by ten, and the number of Array Braves was reduced by three.

The original team of twenty people, dead ones died, escaped ones escaped...

Finally, only one lone Sword Brave remained.

Demon King Twenty-Two enjoyed this pleasure of slaughter very much. It was originally just an ordinary rare species, but because of heaven-defying luck, it drew the Demon King.

It didn't dare to fight other Demon Kings head-on, because the card lineup was not very good.

But at this moment, it realized that even the weakest Demon King could slaughter wantonly among the Braves!

The battlefield was extremely harsh on the Braves. If the Brave's team configuration was correct, and everyone was not afraid of fighting, perhaps they could fight it.

But the reality was, there were no ifs...

The environment was extremely favorable to the Demon King.

Facing the lone Sword Brave, Demon King Twenty-Two said:

"Tsk, already scared to paralysis, don't even know how to run away?"

"How about this, you tell me where your partners are hiding, and I'll spare your life, how about that?"

The Sword Brave sneered.

This was actually a talkative Demon King. If his negotiation ability was still there...

Perhaps he could really play psychological warfare, reverse-utilize language to control the Demon King, and obtain a safe status.

But—

Forget it, he was in a hurry.

"I need to borrow the Demon King's foot power to find my friends. If you are willing to help me, I will be very happy to spare you from death."

The Sword Brave said very seriously.

Under various language obstacles, the Demon King heard:

"I need a Demon King to be my mount. You'd better be sensible."

Demon King Twenty-Two was furious:

"So you weren't scared stupid, but scared crazy. Since that's the case, you die!"

Demon King Twenty-Two launched poison mist spray again:

This poison mist spray, probably only the most agile Sword Brave could dodge.

Yes, the Sword Brave's specialty was flexible dodging.

But this Sword Brave, indeed, seemed to be scared stupid, not dodging at all.

The terrifying green poison, this strange poison mist enough to wipe out the Magic Braves, instantly completely covered the Sword Brave.

Demon King Twenty-Two grinned, thinking the battle was over.

But the next second, its smile froze.

"Fighting with me should be a bit more joyful, a bit more simple-minded. You are too easy to get angry. Anger cannot hit me."

The Sword Brave's voice appeared.

That strange poison mist actually failed to hurt him at all. He walked out of the corrosive poison gas and slowly pulled the sharp blade out of the scabbard.

Demon King Twenty-Two was shocked.

Its Demon King skill actually couldn't hurt a small Sword Brave? Clearly, the opponent didn't dodge!

It wasn't stupid, and immediately thought of the answer:

"It's a God Card!"

"You have a God Card!"

The Sword Brave smiled:

"Congratulations, you got it right."

Card Name: Emotional Shield (Joy)

Card Level: Strange God Card.

Card Effect: If the opponent is not in extreme joy, they will be unable to cause damage to you. But if the opponent is in extreme joy, they will cause high extra damage to you.

Demon King Twenty-Two immediately became vigilant:

"Didn't expect that you actually drew a God Card!"

The Sword Brave shook his head:

"Why do you have the illusion that I only have one God Card? You can start crying."

Of course, this sentence was also distorted by the language effect:

"The imagination of a poor guy, God Cards are such trash, you only dare to think one by one?"

The Sword Brave had to admit that this distortion effect was quite mocking.

The Demon King still didn't understand.

But the next second, a cold light flashed, and a sword light cut through the air straight.

The Demon King's arm—was neatly cut off.

Card Name: Emotional Blade (Sorrow)

Card Level: Strange God Card.

Card Effect: If the opponent is not in extreme sorrow, they will be completely unable to defend against your attack, and unable to dodge your attack.

Card Bond: Emotional Double-Edged Sword.

Bond Level: God.

Bond Effect: When you collect both the Emotional Blade and the Emotional Shield, you can switch the emotional attributes of the sword and shield once every five minutes.

Demon King Twenty-Two was stunned. After a while, it slapped its own face with its hand, of course—the one that hadn't been cut off yet.

Not an illusion, not a dream...

I was really cut off an arm by a small Sword Brave?

Blood flowed like a river!

Demon King Twenty-Two immediately realized that it should use a recovery skill!

Demon King's Healing Technique! The skill cooldown is very long, but it can instantly restore a large amount of blood, and even achieve broken arm regeneration.

When the cut-off arm appeared again, it started attacking the Sword Brave frantically!

"No reason! Just a small Sword Brave! How could I not kill it!"

"Kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill!"

"I am the Demon King! I am the Demon King!"

Bombardment, attacks like a storm fell, without any reservation, all were abilities in the Demon King's hands that could wipe out warriors.

Bombardment of various attributes of five colors covered the battlefield. The entire intersection became pitted and bumpy in a time.

But the more the Demon King attacked, the more horrified it felt.

Smoke and dust filled the sky, and that small Sword Brave seemed to have the 'no smoke, no injury' law take effect...

Completely without receiving any damage.

"That's about enough."

A cross sword light appeared in the sky.

The Demon King's two huge arms were easily cut off.

The Sword Brave looked at the Demon King with eyes looking at a bug:

"Decapitation? Or be a dog? You choose."

The Demon King's brain fell into a short circuit.

It knew that the Strange God Card was very outrageous, but it didn't expect it to be so outrageous.

It also never thought that the other party would have more than one Strange God Card.

Acting me?

God is acting me? Or is the host acting me? I'm being targeted? With this strength of the Brave, can the Demon King still play?

It was like a candidate who failed the single recruitment and complained about being targeted by capital, full of disbelief.

And what was presented in its ears, the Sword Brave's words were:

"Bark like a dog and you can live, don't bark and I'll cut off your dog head."

After a short hesitation... Demon King Twenty-Two chose the end-times mode—better to live in disgrace than die in glory.

"Woof! Woof woof! Awoo!"

Demon King Twenty-Two obediently squatted down, changing from the original standing two-drive to crawling four-drive. But because of the lack of two arms, the posture was very strange.

And its huge back was carrying a small Sword Brave.

"Let's go, take me to find other Demon Kings. I'm in a hurry, you'd better be fast."

Demon King Twenty-Two started running frantically!
