Chapter 227: Chapter 227: Reinforcements Arrive

The atmosphere of the meeting lightened considerably when a big loli appeared to play around.

However, the situation was extremely urgent, and they couldn’t afford any delays. After a brief meeting, various arrangements were quickly made.

Not long after, Ilya received news that the first batch of reinforcements had arrived, which allowed everyone to breathe a sigh of relief.

At least the reinforcements hadn’t met with any mishaps en route and had arrived very promptly.

As the Demon Realm Emperor, Lynn personally went to meet with the reinforcements sent from the rear by the Guardian Demon God Faction. This strong support came from the Demon Heaven Great World, governed by the Demon Race, and included as many as twenty-two Demon King level strong beings.

When the two parties first met, the other side was hesitant, but when Lynn’s dragon body trembled, emitting the pressure of a 999-level Near God, these powerful Demon Race demigods obediently bowed their heads.

The methods of the Guardian Demon God were indeed extraordinary, to be able to find such powerful Divine Envoys in the resource-drained main Demon realm. It seemed that their faction had hope for revival.

"This is the Magic Robe, one of the Demon Emperor’s Armor. Please accept it, Your Majesty Illidan Demon Emperor."

The leading demon from the Demon Heaven Great World respectfully presented what seemed to be an exceedingly ordinary Spatial Crystal Stone. This object wasn’t even made into space equipment; it was just a raw stone. Its internal space hadn’t been expanded and was quite limited in capacity, but it was sufficient to hold a single piece of clothing.

Lynn was now awaiting the Demon Emperor’s Armor of the Guardian Demon God Faction. Without wearing it, he wouldn’t know if its attributes were suitable, but he hoped they were. After all, the equipment provided by Ilya and others was inferior to the 999-level equipment by more than one grade. It was adequate for ordinary demigod challenges, but not sufficient for one-against-a-hundred battles.

Receiving the Spatial Crystal Stone they offered, Lynn reached out and pulled out the Magic Robe. As he prepared to put it on, a pair of jade-like hands reached out from either side, holding the robe for him, dressing him.

Lynn looked to both sides, and it was not surprising that these considerate young demonesses were Proud Demon King Ilya and Greed Demon King Liss. Aside from Hill, the other demon kings were also eager to help, but unfortunately, they were a step behind.

Having two demon kings personally dress him was a treatment not even enjoyed by the Late Emperor... or any Demon Emperor before, though enjoying such treatment wasn’t impossible—where would they find such beautiful demoness kings?

"How does it feel?"

After neatly replacing Lynn’s attire with the Magic Robe, Ilya appeared calm, but her voice contained hidden anticipation.

"It feels good, slightly stronger than before."

Lynn concentrated on sensing it. Although he had lost the game interface and couldn’t see the precise stats of the equipment directly, by carefully feeling it, he could more or less judge which equipment provided the greater enhancement to him.

Clearly, although the main attribute of this Magic Robe wasn’t ideal, its other attributes far surpassed that of his previous equipment. Overall, this Magic Robe was more ’suitable.’"

"That’s excellent news; once the Demon Emperor’s Armor is complete, there should be additional bonuses."

Hearing this, Ilya’s previously tight brows relaxed immediately, and a graceful smile inadvertently appeared at the corners of her lips, making Lynn almost click his tongue.

Ilya, already an extremely beautiful demoness king, seemed even more radiant with her subtle smile of joy.

"Set bonuses, I understand."

Lynn maintained composure, not succumbing to Ilya’s stunning beauty. Speaking of set bonuses, he really hadn’t seen a 999-level set before. This time, he might have the opportunity to witness the extra bonuses of the Demon Emperor’s Armor.

After all, belonging to the Human Race, the 999-level set he initially possessed was only the Saint Emperor’s Sword. After fiercely slaying the Demon Dragon Emperor, he obtained the Saint Emperor’s Armor. But a set wasn’t just two pieces, sword and armor; he was still far from completing the Saint Emperor’s Armor.

...

Subsequently, the servitors summoned urgently by Ilya began to arrive one after another, gathering more and more powerful Demon King level beings. Lynn’s collection of the Demon Emperor’s Armor also grew steadily.

However, things didn’t go smoothly. Before the last two reinforcements of the Guardian Demon God Faction could arrive, the Seven Great Demon Kings received bad news.

The advance troops of the Purgatory Demon Race had reached the outskirts of the Demon Realm. Although they had preemptively destroyed the spatial passages along the opponent’s return route, both the Purgatory and Yellow Springs races were equally adept at the Path of Space. Knowing the coordinates of the main Demon realm and being at the world’s edge, setting up new spatial passages was a simple task for them, taking at most half an hour.

"The closest reinforcements to us are still forty-five minutes away, but the Purgatory Demons have already arrived. Your Majesty, we will lead the army to intercept them while you wait here for the last two components of the armor set!"

Furious Demon King Sara said seriously, being now at level 917, a bona fide orthodox demon king. As long as the number of strong beings in the opponent’s vanguard wasn’t overly exaggerated, they should be able to hold them off for a while.

"No way! The speed of Demon King level beings is exceedingly fast. If they abandon their main forces and advance swiftly, it won’t take long for them to surround you; it’s too dangerous."

The suggestion by No-brains Sara was not adopted by Lynn; there was no way he would agree to let his wife take such a big risk.

"We don’t need to split our forces. The final missing components of the armor set are precisely the ring and the magic staff, both of which can be used immediately upon acquisition. We only need to keep one sister here to await the remaining reinforcements, and the other demons can go together to give their vanguard a massive blow. If more enemy strong beings are drawn in, even better, letting His Majesty kill them all. Unless the other side is very cautious and sticks together, otherwise, this could actually be a chance for us to strike powerfully!"

Greed Demon King Liss was noticeably more clear-headed than Furious Demon King Sara, not frightened by the enemy demons who arrived first, but rather intending to seize the moment to strike. After all, it was impossible for 280 Demon King level beings to arrive simultaneously; if they could seize the opportunity, it might reduce their numbers significantly before the main battle began.

"It might not be very appropriate; if you reveal yourself as a Demon Emperor and the Seven Great Demon Kings plus dozens of Demon King-level strong beings, only a fool would charge in recklessly. Instead, if it’s just me, it might draw in a lot of ’heroes’..."

As Lynn finished speaking, the Seven Great Demon Kings fell into deep thought.

They mostly agreed with Lynn’s idea, but implementing it in reality posed some difficulties.
