The Great Demon King
Chapter 103 "Dagmar Fruit "



“Halo friend, are you adventuring alone in the Dark Forest?” The swordsman exclaimed softly as he was some distance away from Han Shuo.


Han Shuo had long discovered these six and had summoned the small skeleton again because he did not want to reveal his status as a necromancer. He raised his head when he heard the voice of the other party and nodded at the swordsman. “Betul.”


The cross-legged Harpi flashed overhead, but did not dare to continue testing Han Shuo's patience when he saw the six adventurers meeting him. He flew to a higher place to observe the happenings from the sky.


The six adventurers were a team of three warriors, two magicians, and one archer. The archer was a female elf, and the three male warriors consisted of one female swordsman and two swordsmen. Besides them, there was one daily male witch and one female proficient witch.


After Han Shuo had participated in the tests given by the Academy, he now knew some of the difference in levels and symbols used by the Magic Association and the Knight Association.


Magicians will have a beautiful little magic wand embroidered on the shoulders of their magician robes according to the power. A novice magician will have an image of a magic staff, and each successive level will add another magic staff. Swordsmen and Knights had a similar manner, with swordsmen using their emblems and knights using battlesteed.


The robes of the witches and swordsmen looked like they had been verified by the Magic Association and the Knight Association, and thus the emblem representing their power was attached to the clothes they were wearing. Han Shuo could easily determine their strength with just a single glance.


The six of them were not weak, but rather too weak if they ventured into the depths of the Dark Forest. This was why the harpy dared to follow them when he discovered these six. If any of them were archmages that could fly, then harpies would run as far as possible and would not dare to look for opportunities to attack them.


“I call Odysseus. This is my friend. I think you've noticed harpy nuisance before. I'm so sorry to say that the harp has targeted us and turned his attention to you when he found out that you were walking alone. ”


“As a level three magical beast, it is really difficult to fight with a harp because he can fly in the air. If you don't mind, you can walk with us. The robber should not have dared to go down and cause trouble if the seven of us were together. “The senior swordsman, Odysseus, spoke sincerely to Han Shuo.


Shaking his head, Han Shuo refused with a smile, “It's okay. I thought you wanted to go further into the Dark Forest, but I wanted to return to the outskirts. We don't take the same path, so I won't trouble you. ”


“How can this happen? If you keep walking alone, the Harpy will never give up on you. I think you should stay with us, or you will be in even greater trouble or even die! “One of the female proficient witches Aphrodite said softly.


The others also protested when they heard Aphrodite's words, but Han Shuo did not agree to go with them. Although the sixth was not that weak, only the archer's arrow had the ability to cause trouble for the harpy. Once a flying harpy shot through the air, the swordsman would not pose any threat to him and the magic might not be effective due to the distance.


However, Han Shuo was armed with the Demonslayer Edge and arrows, adding the fact that the small skeleton could also fly into the air using his bone spurs, if the robber was so aware to dare attack him, then the painful blow from Han Shuo and the small skeleton would wait for him. Therefore, Han Shuo was not afraid of the usurper. This was why he refused the invitation of the six adventurers and chose to set out alone.


“Heh heh, thank you for your concern, but I don't think it will be that easy to catch me,” Han Shuo replied with a smile and took out two of his grilled fish. He did not respond to the six young adventurers anymore and walked back in the direction they had come alone.


The six young adventurers were shocked when they saw Han Shuo leave casually. Senior swordsman Odysseus opened his mouth to say, “Let's observe in the distance. If he really has a method to deal with the harpy, then we will decide to leave. Otherwise, we will help him, to prevent him from being eaten. ”


“Captain, that person has already rejected us, do we have to do this?” The swordsman Gordon's man's pace was somewhat reluctant as he spoke with a frown.


“Harpy's original target is us and it only troubles others as we start heading in this direction. I think we should shoulder this responsibility. ”Odysseus lectured Gordon and directed the others to follow him, trailing far behind Han Shuo.


After walking for roughly five minutes, the usurper who circled Han Shuo finally made another move. He swooped down from a height in the sky and once again surged back into the clouds with a shrill whistle as he almost landed on his head, fishing Han Shuo with incredible patience.


However, Han Shuo was even more patient than him. Although both of his hands seemed empty, the Demonslayer Edge was ready to erupt into the air at any moment, and his arrow was ready to be shot inside his outer space ring. Once the harpy dared to enter within range, Han Shuo would not mind killing these level three magical beasts with a single shot.


As for the six adventurers following from a distance, Han Shuo could see everything clearly. He paid no heed to their kindness and continued walking towards the grave of death with relaxed steps.


The harpy finally could not help but resist after repeatedly testing it and once again charged straight at Han Shuo with its sharp, curved claws, quickly approaching Han Shuo's skullcap.


A disgusting smell attacked his nostrils and immediately floated around Han Shuo's creature. Most of the people would be temporarily dizzy and confused after catching this stench, but Han Shuo's body had been trained to an unknown level of unease and was completely unaffected by this. He still pretended to swing according to the harp's intentions, as if he was about to fall to the ground at any given moment.


“Oh no! He was perplexed by the smell of the harp, he was in danger! We have to go save him! ”Advanced magician Aphrodite suddenly summoned six adventurers who no longer cared about concealment and walked out of the bushes behind her. Archer frantically shot an arrow towards the harpy.


A cold smile emerged from the corner of his mouth, Han Shu's body increasingly swaying and stiffening right before the iron claws of the harp landed on his head. He quickly fell straight backward so that the claws, which had reached Han Shuo's head, landed on empty air.


Just as the p3l4cur was calling out strangely and was about to try to make another move, the Demonslayer Edge, interspersed with red lights, suddenly slashed through the air and carried a wave of smoldering power into the body of the harp.


A low and quiet call was heard as the p3l4cur flapped its wings, shaking in a hasty attempt to leave the ground. The arrow was already grasped in Han Shuo's hand at this moment and was viciously shot after locking the harp's skinny neck.


Red lights flashed out from his body, the harpy was screaming in pain continuously. He was completely unable to stabilize his current body and naturally did not see any more deadly attacks approaching. A sharp arrow bolt pierced his neck and sent his body flying backwards. His neck maintained a position of looking back at the sky when he suddenly fell to the ground.


“Oh, jeez, he shot down the harp!” Swordsman Andrew arrived quickly after closing the distance and suddenly discovered that the body of the harp had fallen to the ground. He exclaimed in shock and found it hard to believe the sight.


The other adventurers, who had planned to recite a spell or shoot down the harp, also stopped the movement of their hands and saw the harp fluttering weakly in the distance, their faces also filled with astonishment.


Under Han Shuo's thought, Demonslayer Edge had used the magical flame of the “Mystical Glacial Spellfire” after plunging into the body of the harp to burn its internal organs. No smoke appeared, but the harpy's body quickly turned into a charred mess and a thick scent increasingly spread.


Standing up and patting the dust on his body, Han Shuo walked over to the fried harp, held his breath, and took out the Demonslayer Edge. Digging out the core of a level three magical beast from his body, he then cut off two of its iron claws and stored it within his spatial ring.


A level three magical beast was actually not that easy to deal with, otherwise, the six adventurers would not have experienced such a headache. The Harpy has always relied on the incredible smell inside her body and her position from the top to the air to be successful in every endeavor.


It was a pity that his two advantages were completely ineffective against Han Shuo, and he ended up being a target for Han Shuo to take advantage of him. Coupled with the incomparable sharpness of Demonslayer Edge and the fact that it could strike at will according to Han Shuo's wishes, that was what caused him to die so quickly and horribly.


“Hi friend, you are indeed quite strong. It seems like our worries are really non-existent. ”Odiseus finally made it to Han Shuo from a distance and faced the latter cheerfully.


Although these people were not helpful, Han Shuo had gained an understanding of their conversations and methods through the original demons. He felt that these people were quite good, and now that their captain Odysseus spoke thus, Han Shuo nodded with a faint smile, “I'm just lucky, my true strength doesn't even come close to your level.”


“Heh heh, you are too humble.” Odysseus clearly did not believe Han Shuo's words as he responded politely.


“Captain, since he is not in danger, I think we should proceed further to the southern part of the Dark Forest to continue searching for the Dagmar Fruit” “.” Gordon walked over from a distance and rushed towards Odysseus.


“Ai, I wonder if the ‘Dagmar’ fruit we are looking for really exists. Fruit that looks like a human brain, I've never heard of anything like this! “Adept magician Aphrodite sighed.


Han Shuo was just about to leave when he heard Aphrodite's words and did not leave immediately. He preferred to stare at Aphrodite confusedly and ask, “What is this stuff ‘Dagmar’ fruit? Why is it shaped like a human brain? It's really amazing, can you tell me about it? ”


“I've heard everything about ‘Dagmar’ fruit from our captain Odysseus. He knows more about it. ”Aphrodite smiled kindly at Han Shuo and pointed to Odysseus.


Odysseus smiled faintly, “Are you also interested in ‘Dagmar’ fruit? Heh heh, legend has it that Dagmar is a demon who enjoys eating human brains. It was possible that a very strange fruit was produced in the place where he was buried. The fruit is the size of a fist and has dark brown veins running through it. It looks very similar to the human brain. ”


“Said that ‘Dagmar’ fruit has magical properties. Ordinary people would become confused and go crazy if they ate it, but it is said that ‘Dagmar’ fruit was destroyed by a pharmacist, it can be made into a very valuable medicine. I recently received a request from someone and have decided to try my luck in the Dark Forest to see if I can find ‘Dagmar Fruit.”


Han Shuo suddenly felt extremely excited after hearing Odysseus' words. In Chu Cang Lan's memory, there was a fruit called “Divine Brain Fruit”. It had the effect of forcibly expanding the human brain. It could turn an ordinary person into a madman, but if a demon practitioner in the “roh created” stage like Han Shuo took part of this “Divine Brain Fruit”, it was, then he can harness its effects to greatly increase his training level.


Han Shuo did not contemplate in this direction to begin with because he thought that it was impossible for “Divine Brain Fruit” to exist in this world, but Odysseus description of “Dagmar” fruit is the exact same shape “Divine Brain Fruit.”


He could not resist the temptation to obtain a fruit that could greatly increase his current training level. Han Shuo did not think about it anymore when he asked directly after Odysseus finished explaining, “If you don't mind, I want to go find ‘Dagmar’ Fruit with you?”


Odysseus and the six adventurers suddenly looked at each other after Han Shuo spoke. They all felt extremely shocked because they would not have expected Han Shuo to have such a proposal.
