Demon King: Hero, don't run away!
Chapter 1504: The Secret to Transformation
Xin Mang’s attribute has suddenly skyrocketed, showing that the Nine-tailed Demon Fox clan was also created as a battle race.
According to what Xin Mang mentioned, the Nine-tailed Demon Fox clan should also be part of the Grude plan, with their creation order rather late.
Xin Mang has a strong sense of justice; if not, she wouldn’t have saved those two children, becoming an excuse for the war between the two countries. During the ongoing war, she would find various ways to help Wansheng Country, hoping to end the war earlier.
Saying and doing such things, Yang Yu believes Xin Mang is a trustworthy ally.
If she successfully learns transformation, she might shine on the battlefield, reducing the pressure on Wansheng Republic’s shoulders. Therefore, Yang Yu doesn’t mind giving her some time to let Lotcar teach her a few things and solve her doubts.
Crossing the street, Yang Yu and the others arrived in front of the Imperial Palace again.
Leaving Lotcar and Xin Mang behind, Yang Yu brought others to visit Ming Dalak.
After a brief conversation, Ming Dalak didn’t hesitate much and handed over the Memory Crystal to Yang Yu:
"I know you’re strong.
But this time’s enemy can’t be dealt with by ordinary means.
Open the Memory Crystal, and you will know how adept that man named [Red Flame Monarch] Ammonval is when facing a formidable enemy.
According to him, there hasn’t been anyone who could make him show even half of his strength.
We once wanted to persuade Wan Huawen, the Family Head of the Blood Lion, to go to the front lines, but ultimately it came to nothing.
In short, wherever he goes, it turns to ashes; no city can briefly resist him.
We can only hope that he is continuously drawn to strong opponents and engages in duels with them one-on-one...
But this is merely drinking poison to quench thirst.
High-level combat power will die off completely, and the power balance will gradually be lost.
This war is not as peaceful as our past wars between the two countries.
Under the rules set by the giant dragon, as long as one surrenders, one’s life can be somewhat preserved.
However, it’s different with the Demon Clan; once fallen into their hands, who knows what may happen?
The Four Heavenly Kings rampaging in our country still maintain relatively good conduct.
Under the circumstance of being surrounded with no other options, someone suggested an honorable samurai duel, requesting [Red Flame Monarch] Ammonval to release the other unarmed people.
[Red Flame Monarch] Ammonval agreed without much hesitation.
This roughly summarizes his character.
As they say, all’s fair in war; perhaps you can make something of this?
Receiving the Memory Crystal, Yang Yu replied:
"I will give this serious consideration. If any help is needed, I will request it from you without hesitation."
"Always welcome.
If there are any special circumstances, I will also contact you at the first moment.
Hope you can create another miracle."
Ming Dalak slightly smiled.
In the past few years, he has made many, many mistakes. He never thought Yang Yu would make such a choice, nor did he think he would still be able to speak so calmly with Yang Yu, working together with the past Monarch.
When he first took over this country, it was a total mess, and Ming Dalak nearly despaired. If not for the encouragement from his former friend on his deathbed, he would have given up in disheartenment long ago.
For a long time, Ming Dalak believed he was the only person sincerely working for the people of this country.
But he was wrong.
There were more than a few people who sincerely wanted to work for this country; some even abroad risked treason and execution to help them.
After Yang Yu left, Ming Dalak contemplated for a long time.
He remembered his friend’s past words, "Everyone makes mistakes at some point. After making a mistake, one shouldn’t think about how to cover it up but how to make amends. The true terror is continuing to believe one hasn’t made a mistake even after making one."
In the past few years, Ming Dalak thought as long as it was for the country, it didn’t matter what was disregarded, as long as he made use of everything he could. This led him to solve everything through such extreme means without considering any possibilities.
Now, all Ming Dalak can do is strive to atone for the mistakes he made in the past.
He is very grateful to Yang Yu and the people around him for giving him this chance.
However, according to Yang Yu, this chance for redemption is something Ming Dalak fought for himself.
What he did, others have seen as well.
Upon understanding closely, Ming Dalak was only led down the wrong path due to past events.
If... the Demon King also took a wrong path, that would be great.
If... there were no irreconcilable conflicts between the two worlds, that would be great.
Collecting the Memory Crystal, Yang Yu also took various intelligence about [Red Flame Monarch] Ammonval. During this time, Yang Yu also received greetings and thanks in person from Wanzhang Lion and Qian Xialan.
After a few simple pleasantries, Yang Yu left the palace, intending to find Lotcar anew, and while heading to the battlefield, think of strategies to defeat the enemy.
Outside the palace, Xin Mang’s process of learning transformation was not going smoothly.
Generally speaking, transformation involves three steps. First, release a large amount of characteristic magic power from the body, then synchronize with the surrounding magic to form exclusive magic power. Lastly, construct the desired form in the mind and gather magic power to manifest it in the corresponding shape.
It sounds simple but is very difficult to do.
Xin Mang already faced significant problems at the start of releasing magic power.
After all, Xin Mang is a swordsman; although she can use many spells, she doesn’t know the technique for releasing characteristic magic power.
Even if she indeed manages to transform, it will definitely take a very long time.
After the basic transformation, there are still a series of issues to address. For example, the newly transformed form tends to be lightweight and unstable, requiring absorption of certain elements from the air during movement to stabilize the structure. To achieve the kind of control Lotcar has, one needs the ability to control the magic around them to a certain extent.
When approaching a Subhuman formed by a giant dragon, one can feel a strong pressure, as the giant dragon subconsciously gathers the magic characteristic magic power around itself.
To a certain extent, this magic power serves as a perception barrier for the giant dragon, making it easier to sense movements of anyone entering its range.
The Silver Teeth Clan offers specialized courses and an array of herbal medicine mixes to aid in awakening transformation abilities.
However, now is clearly not the time to take Xin Mang there.
