The God's Games

Saradin was furious: "What do you take people's lives for?!"

Viscount Hereford showed no sign of realizing his mistake and remained as stubborn as ever.

Saradin felt there was no point in talking to him anymore.

He frowned.

Hanjun was right; it was his fault for allowing Viscount Hereford's behavior to go unchecked, leading to today's situation.

From that moment on, he decided to show no mercy to Viscount Hereford.

Master PungPong shouted at Viscount Hereford, "Don't you realize your situation yet? Most of the demons have been defeated by us. What awaits you next is judgment."

Viscount Hereford laughed loudly, "Judgment? Who are you to judge me?"

"And besides, aren't you celebrating too soon?!" Viscount Hereford stepped back, leaving a clear space.

A tall demon with ram horns on his head stood before the players and Saradin.

There was no need to test; everyone could feel the strong pressure coming from this ram-headed demon, a feeling they had never experienced from any other demon before.

This one was definitely a powerful demon!

Everyone had the same thought and immediately became more alert.

Pork Rib Boss shouted, "The dungeon boss has appeared! Everyone, get ready!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the players began their attack on the boss, leaving no room for Saradin to step in.

Just as they had predicted, the ram-headed demon was extremely fast, with very high attack power.

Several players were knocked into the air and taken out in a single blow, with no chance to fight back.

Even so, the heroes kept their formation and continued attacking the demon.

Saradin stood on the side, watching nervously as the players were finally close to winning.

Just one more hit!

Master PungPong pushed himself to release the last spell.

But then, the ram-headed demon's entire body started to glow red.

With his teeth clenched, he shouted, "Do you think this is over? Not a chance!"

Pork Rib Boss backed away and warned his teammates, "Fall back! Be careful! The boss has gone berserk!"

The ram-headed demon released a thick, black aura.

The players attacked his position, but there was no effect.

At first, the atmosphere was tense, but when nothing happened next, some of the players felt a little disappointed.

Only Saradin suddenly realized something and shouted, "Oh no! He's gathering power to cast a mid-level spell!"

"Huh?" Master PungPong and the others were confused.

They knew how powerful forbidden spells were, but they didn't know what made a mid-level spell so dangerous.

Then, a black mist rose up to the sky, and the dark clouds looked like a storm was about to descend, pressing down with a heavy feeling.

This sight was so stunning that even outside the manor, Mr. Turner and Hanjun could see it clearly.

Mr. Turner muttered, "The heroes will be okay, right?"

Hanjun glanced at the bright light in the sky, then sat back in his chair and lazily said, "Don't worry, they can handle this little problem."

Inside the manor, at the lowest point of the lightning, thunder and blinding light almost made everyone cover their eyes.

For a moment, they couldn't tell what was happening.

Saradin shouted, "Get ready for impact!"

Everyone instinctively crouched down, grabbing onto anything nearby.

In that moment, a bolt of white lightning from the sky locked onto its target and struck the manor with tremendous force.

It was just one flash of lightning, but it came down with the power of thousands, crashing right on top of them.

For a moment, the ground shook, and the building trembled.

No one could see what was happening.

Even if they tried to open their eyes to look, all they could see was a blinding white light — nothing else.

When everything finally calmed down, Master PungPong and the others stood up and opened their eyes.

When they did, they were shocked.

Everything around them looked so unfamiliar that they couldn't believe they were still standing in the manor.

The entire manor had collapsed and cracked, all because of the recent magical attack.

But why were they unharmed?

Master PungPong and the others looked over at Saradin.

It was this NPC who had warned them just in time.

Could it be that Saradin saved them from the magic?

But where was the ram-headed demon?

Saradin said, "That demon must have escaped. I couldn't keep track of where he went at that moment."

This small matter was something Master PungPong and the others could understand, and they even realized why Hanjun agreed to let Saradin come with them.

If it weren't for Saradin, they might have lost their lives right then and there.

They checked the system notifications and saw that the mission was completed, so they didn't worry about it any further.

Master PungPong also noticed that the once-proud Viscount Hereford was now sitting dazed in the rubble, completely unaware of what had just happened.

He only knew that the demons seemed to have failed, and the manor was destroyed.

Viscount Hereford didn't know what to say—should he thank Saradin and the others for driving away the demons, or should he explain why he did what he did?

But before he could decide, Master PungPong gave a signal to his teammates, and they quickly tied him up and led him out of the manor.

At first, Viscount Hereford shouted loudly, "What are you doing?! I am a viscount, the lord of this land! How dare you treat me like this!"

Master PungPong snorted, "Then why don't you tell us why we're treating you like this?"

Viscount Hereford stammered for a long time but couldn't say anything.

He knew very well what he had done—for the sake of his own life, he handed over Lindblum City to the demons.

He thought he could survive, but he never expected that the demons would be driven away halfway by the people from the Church of Light in Ulon City.

Why did the people from Ulon City take so long to get here?

If they had come earlier, he wouldn't have needed to betray Lindblum City!
