The knights charged, and the power of the secret medicine erupted within them.

The warhorses could no longer be relied upon; even a trace of dragon blood couldn't make these beasts useful against the oppressive force of the Evil God.

They dismounted, prompting other knights who retained their sanity to do the same, raising their spears and swords, rushing towards Xue Dili.

"The time is nearly up!" Xue Dili smiled, shaping his fingers into the form of a gun, as a drop of Cursed Blood gathered on his fingertip.

He playfully mimicked loading the finger gun, his lips curled into a grin, smiling like a child.

King Kaiya's sword came first, Xue Dili easily sidestepped it, as the burst of Evil God's pressure warped his swordsmanship, unleashing a hundred-meter-long scar on the earth.

Yet, to Xue Dili, this strike merely distorted the raindrops around him.

In the distance, mages began to chant, Mage Cattelan's forbidden curse—Thunder God's Fury—spread its glaring divine might accompanied by endless thunder in the sky. King Kaiya instantly retreated, and the next moment, a surge of plasma poured down from the clouds, directly towards Xue Dili.

Lightning encompassed him, with blinding light all around.

"Did it work?" the Knight Commander asked.

"Ten more seconds!" Yet, the next moment, Xue Dili's voice emerged from the smoke.

"How could this be!" Both the King and other Hero Squad members, as well as the charging knights, were in shock, because that mythic-level forbidden curse hadn't even altered Xue Dili's voice.

The lightning dissipated, and the earth, crystallized from the deluge of thunder, revealed Xue Dili with a mere trace of charred blood on his surface, which quickly replenished itself, forming a new barrier of fresh blood.

Using Cursed Blood to form a Faraday cage directing the current to the ground, as long as the strength of the Cursed Blood is sufficient, the lightning damage to Xue Dili is zero, Otherworld hicks!

"Attack!" the King's voice roared.

Hero Squad members charged once more, yet as they took that step, it was as if lightning assaulted them from their feet, and countless knights crumbled to the ground, convulsing under the thunder, even Hero Squad members were paralyzed by the lightning up their legs, their limbs refusing to obey.

They couldn't understand why Cattelan's lightning attacked them; does the Demon King possess a counter-attacking ability? Such deception!

After large amounts of electricity are channeled into the ground, a grid-like voltage step forms in the surrounding area, a voltage difference for every step taken, plus your armor directly contacts the skin, your armor's flaw unable to form a cage, Otherworld hicks!

If you don't study math, physics, or chemistry, every phenomenon is magic.

At this moment, the knights charging forward looked at Xue Dili in terror, especially the knights behind seeing their comrades convulsing on the ground, the cold rain briefly waking their senses.

"4!"

Xue Dili's voice suddenly grew excited, and they began to tremble.

"3!"

The lightning voltage had dissipated, Xue Dili stepped forward.

"2!"

The Dwarf Shield Guard shook off the paralysis, roaring as he lifted his Warhammer and Large Shield.

"1!"

...

Ten minutes later.

"Is this…the power of God…"

"You haven't even used your full strength…"

"Boom…" Thunderbolts mingled with the rain curtain as they descended.

The rain was about to cease, and so was the war.

Upon the ground, only twisted demonic corpses remained, their forms sporting various insect-like features, as if wrapped in human skin, but their expressions were distorted, each demonic being bore a bloody hole atop their heads.

Scout Kaiya from the Hero Squad transformed into a creature with a grotesque mouthpart, his upper body within a pool of blood, his lower half hung on a nearby tree.

The Dwarf Shield Guard was crushed, his exoskeleton scattered around.

The Kingdom Knight Commander leaned against a tree, his four-lobed, split head was planted not far away.

Mage Cattelan, now "Top and Bottom-telan," her chest open wide, her praying mantis-like exoskeleton offered no protection, even Uncle Brave made no attempt to stop Xue Dili from tearing through the insect forms.

Thus, the Hero Squad was annihilated.

The heavy rain continued falling.

Rainwater gathered the blood into rivers, flowing into a nearby creek, dyeing it a bright red.

Before long, all the bodies were washed into the creek, causing it to run dry.

Xue Dili left, and at this moment, the kingdom had no idea that their king, queen, Knight Commander, and thousands of the Royal Capital Knight Order were all dead.

No one survived.

...

In the Royal Capital, the exploits of the former Hero Squad, who personally led an expedition against the Demon King, had become the hottest topic.

Every street and alley spoke of the might of the king and the former Hero Squad, an invincible team that once sealed the terrifying Evil God of sixteen years ago.

Many were survivors from sixteen years ago; they had witnessed the horror and might of the Evil God, whose mere breath twisted and polluted all life on the planet.

Yet, even so, the former Hero Squad still sealed the Evil God.

The Hero Squad even overthrew the old kingdom, establishing a new one, reducing taxes from 80% to 75%, indeed too benevolent.

This is what they call grace!

As for the various vagabonds, children, and those traveling alone at night who go missing each year, numbering in the thousands, well, they just didn't understand grace and met their fate after leaving the Capital, right?

Minstrels began playing their lutes, recounting past tales in taverns.

"Last time, we mentioned the moment when the members of the Hero Squad arrived in the depths of the cave occupied by the Evil God, where the Hero halted, furrowing his brow at the ominous aura ahead."

"And our King Kaiya braved the dissent, drew his longsword, and shouted loudly, 'Hero, shall we just allow the Evil God's rebirth here?' The Hero frowned, remaining silent."

"Others hesitated, unsure whether to advance or approach cautiously."

"But King Kaiya took the lead, being a scout, and he needed to gauge the situation first. At this critical moment, the Evil God was on the verge of breaking through, and King Kaiya charged forward fearlessly to stop it."

"Wait for the next part, where Scout Kaiya cleverly dealt with the Evil God, and the Hero rushed to seal it…"

The minstrel's performance seemed to displease many; they had grown tired of hearing this story.

This world needed to hear stories of rising youth, especially since the Hero Squad had set out again days ago, and people were eager for good news, not those old legends from over a decade ago.

In the crowd, Xue Dili, wearing sunglasses, asked Uncle Brave.

"Uncle, what do you think? Did King Kaiya cleverly deal with the Evil God, or wasn't he just OMO by the cave entrance?" Xue Dili teased with a smile.

"I…" Uncle Brave fell silent, seeming to want to ask about the Evil God within Xue Dili, but he didn't know how to start.

"Rest assured, your daughter has held on for sixteen years. Though I don't have that strength, several hours are enough to complete my plan." Xue Dili adjusted his sunglasses and swaggered toward the Royal Palace.

"What are you plotting now?" Uncle Brave was somewhat unnerved, uncertain of what new tricks Xue Dili was up to.

"Since they call me the Demon King, I should at least do something a Demon King would do." Xue Dili pointed toward the Royal Palace, a faint smile underneath his sunglasses, "Don't you feel the kingdom's getting a bit too urbanized?"

"And what about Fafnir in your plan?" Uncle Brave asked.

"What do you think of a story where the Demon King ravages the world, and a young lady hero pulls out the Holy Sword to slay the Demon King?"

"You…" Uncle Brave looked at Xue Dili in horror, imagining a terrifying end.

"You said only the Beloved Holy Sword could kill the Evil God, but neither of us can draw that sword anymore."

Xue Dili looked to the sky; the rain had stopped. The moment he saw Uncle Brave's Holy Sword, he knew he could never wield it in this life, destined not to open the Love Unlimited mode.

"So I will train a true hero, who, adored by all, will draw the Beloved Holy Sword and kill the Demon King and the Evil God."

"That will be the truest and final epic of Hero vs. Demon King, and my last lesson as a teacher!"

"Dong! Dong-dong!" The wartime bell tolled, and all the people of the kingdom stared in shock in that direction.

Mounted rangers shouted continuously, "Our army is defeated! The entire army perished at the hands of the Demon King! We are defeated! We are defeated!"

The death knell rang, with crows symbolizing death circling in the sky.
