"Bang—!"

The clatter of gunfire echoed throughout, and the players' trust in the caliber of their weapons resoundingly shattered Morrag's faith in the Dragon God.

Golden scales were penetrated by lead bullets, and scalding blood sprayed into the air.

He stared with eyes wide in disbelief, ultimately collapsing in humiliation on the ground.

As his life force ebbed away, his swollen body visibly shrunk at a speed noticeable to the naked eye and quickly deflated like a punctured balloon, becoming even smaller than before.

He looked like a dried-out gecko.

Watching the High Priest lying on the ground, a furiously enraged Zerick suddenly regained composure, as if he were grasping at the last straw of life.

He knew.

He stood no chance of winning, alive though he was, death was all but indistinguishable.

"Zerick... remember my name, I will not let you go even as a ghost."

"Is that so."

Luo Yan smiled faintly, uttering the words that sent Zerick into an abyss of ice.

"Then I will grant your wish."

As his voice fell, Octo's curved blade pierced through Zerick's chest with a squelch.

The latter struggled for a while before he ceased breathing and silently collapsed onto his brother's body.

Facing Alakdo's flattery, Luo Yan indifferently lifted his hand, drawing a close to this fratricidal battle, and then used Undead Magic to awaken Zerick's corpse.

Luo Yan held no sympathy for them.

From his perspective, every monster in the maze was a traitor. They not only crowned themselves kings but also intended to split off and betrayed the faith of the Demon God.

The fact that he had given them a chance to surrender was an unprecedented act of mercy by Hell's standards.

Any other Demon King would start by slaughtering them all.

However, if another Demon King came along, it's quite possible they would have been tricked to death by that teleportation circle in the first episode...

The only regret Luo Yan felt was that the experience from two such bosses, one big and one small, had to be divided among a dozen people.

If he had it all to himself, perhaps he could have gained another hundred thousand.

Nevertheless, even so,

The two hundred thousand experience points were enough for him to level up.

"A three-level rise in just a few days... truly, killing, killing, and more killing is the fastest way to level up."

With a sense of longing, Luo Yan turned his gaze towards the human Commander kneeling on the ground.

That sinister smile frightened the man half to death, his face visibly draining of color.

However, Luo Yan did not act against him and even stopped the eager players.

He was a man of reason.

As long as they didn't get handsy with him and kept pressing after being told to stop, he let most of them live.

"Your name, rank, and... the level of your Extraordinary Power."

The man swallowed hard, not daring any deceit, and tremblingly answered.

"Adela... I am the sheriff of Silver Pine Town, I know a bit of swordsmanship... only Bronze level in strength."

Just like Jack.

It seemed Bronze strength was already the ceiling for the young adults of small towns.

Those with slightly stronger souls would either not incarnate there at all or quickly make their mark if they did, only to be recruited by the lord or the church.

Luo Yan looked at him and continued to inquire.

"Why are you and your men in the maze, and who sent you?"

This was the question Luo Yan cared about most.

"I... it was actually... actually a misunderstanding..."

Adela stammered, eventually revealing the entire incident.

It all started with a drunken sentry who ran into a skeleton at the maze entrance.

Because of the Undead appearing on the first level, the adventurer guild raised the priority of Silver Pine Town's mission, and the whole town buzzed with rumors that the Demon King had come back to life.

Being the town sheriff and among the first to hear the news, Adela naturally grew restless, fearing the Demon King's army would spawn at his doorstep.

Then, quite coincidentally, the Lizardman army decided to muster around the same time.

Oversensitive, he preferred a quick to a lingering pain and led the militias down into the maze.

Nobody expected that these Lizardmen would be exceptional fighters, completely different from when they served as cannon fodder under the Demon King.

By the time he realized the gravity of the situation, both sides were too entrenched to stand down.

Then, he ignited the powder keg, and to his shock, even his own people were stunned.

Hearing this series of dramatic twists, Luo Yan almost couldn't maintain his dignity.

He had planned to lure those serpents to the area beneath Demon King Territory, relying on the home turf advantage and swarming them with skeletons, using the power of faith and the players to stack them to death.

Unexpectedly, these guys ended up fighting with the jumpy humans, inadvertently making a gain for him.

Unsure of how to collect this passerby fee, he found himself indecisive for a moment.

Or maybe...

Should he play something big?

As he pondered, the priest lying on the ground suddenly opened his eyes slowly.

When his gaze met Luo Yan's, his eyes bulged open in alarm.

"Saint Sis above, please descend your divine punishment—"

Truth be told, Luo Yan thought the old man was not smart, not only was his spell casting sluggish, but he also didn't hide and chant discreetly even though he knew it was slow.

"No!"

Adela cried out in grief, wanting to stop this zealot's suicidal act, but it was already too late.
