Chapter 718 -407: Huh? (Part 1)

Dense crowds of players swarmed, and the vast Demon King Castle crumbled at a visibly rapid pace. The outer area was constantly being eroded, with dedicated personnel tasked with purifying the contributed area, then transforming it into a region suitable for garrisoning.

The logistics team also played their role at this moment. They might not have had powerful cards, but they could help purify the miasma here, and after the frontline players perished, they swiftly recovered their materials, depositing them at the nearest collection point.

If there’s no recycling mechanism, we create one; if there’s no respawn point, we invent one.

Through their own efforts, players created mechanisms not present in the game, infusing “Card Heroes” with their own color.

The overwhelming offensive did not stop from the start, and the tutorial videos in the game became the most popular “accompaniment” videos during this period.

Many players who didn’t have the time to join the battle stayed glued to their screens every day, watching other streamers report on the situation at the gaming frontline.

“Gaming War Correspondent,” once a joke, became an actual profession. Many streamers did nothing but carry a few life-saving Divine Artifacts and head to the front lines, surviving every second they could and live-streaming as much as possible.

Although unable to provide practical help to the front-line players, the actions of these streamers greatly encouraged the logistics players, informing them of what was happening at the front.

After ten days, the periphery of the Demon King Castle was breached.

Five days later, the inner city of the Demon King Castle was taken.

Three days after that, with the inner city breached, the final battle was at hand, giving every player a glimpse of dawn.

The first player to rush into the great hall of the Demon King Castle hadn’t even had the chance to get excited before a sudden arrow eradicated him.

But before being eradicated, he managed to take a screenshot of the last scene, posting it on the forum for everyone to see the true visage of the Demon King inside the Demon King Castle.

To everyone’s surprise, the appearance of the Demon King was nothing like what they had imagined.

It was an extremely regular cube that seemed to be crafted from obsidian, with a perfect circular circle at the center of each side, within which white lights flashed continuously.

Just by appearances, no one would guess that this object was the Demon King.

However, it was placed on the Demon King’s throne, and numerous light cables composed of light connected it tightly to the Demon King Castle, making one suspect that even if it wasn’t the Demon King, it was an existence closely related to it.

Keen-eyed players noticed that the first player to rush in essentially got dispersed by one of its light rays.

The player died hundreds of meters away from the Demon King’s main body, but covering this distance would cost who knew how many players’ lives.

[To think it would use a plot-killer move right off the bat, this Demon King has no martial ethics.]

[Seems like using Divine Artifacts preemptively is a must, just wondering if there will be any changes afterward.]

[Damn it, I thought the Demon King should be a little lolita with white hair and red eyes. Even better if she had a tail.]

[Don’t mix your personal fantasies into the game. But brother, you describe it so distinctly, I’m worried it’s true.]

[To be honest, I also think the Demon King being a girl would fit my tastes better, it’s more aesthetically pleasing to fight that way.]

[Are you trying to play the game or are you just lusting after her body, you scumbag!]

The might of the final boss not only didn’t discourage the players, it actually ignited a new fervor in them.

New teams set out to explore and rushed forward one after another, using their bodies to test the Demon King’s capabilities and then deducing its precise stats based on its performance, to facilitate targeted strategies for future opponents.

Watching everything in the game, Zhiyi Heavenly Lord furrowed his brows and said, “Great Heavenly Lord, I feel that these players might not be able to handle this thing. The Immortal Spell involved is very complex; I fear it’s a secret weapon of the Immortal Assembly. Although I’m still not quite clear on what this thing is for, it should not be something these players can contend with.”

“No matter, they can handle it,” Fang Cheng continued fishing for Guixian, completely ignoring the situation here.

The wonders in the players’ hands were not mere curiosities, but products combined with their own Immortal Spell.

And now that the Demon King had shown its health bar, no matter how powerful the enemy was, the players had a way to demonstrate their ability to take it down.

Sure enough, after the first batch of players perished, some discovered that the Demon King was weaker against multi-angle attacks. Card Heroes with multi-hit attacks could break the outer barrier of the Demon King, then deal minor damage.

Soon after, this discovery was continuously refined into targeted decks that became standard equipment for the Cleaver Team within the first day.

And when the Demon King’s outer shell was chipped away, its form underwent a change.

Seemingly aware that these players were not easy opponents, the cube on the throne began to tremble.

Limbs protruded from its six sides, with delicate puppet arms emerging from its sides, and then it left its throne and walked towards the players.

The second phase of the Demon King fight became even more difficult; the likelihood of instant death was higher, and every so often, the blocks on its body would flash, eradicating any players in front of it instantly.

This interval was incredibly short, and the block would automatically recharge based on the number of wonders used by the players, depriving those who could accumulate damage through cardplay of their opportunity to attack as their opponent’s would hit before they could even play out their hands.
