Global Demon King: Starting as the Abyssal Dragon

air!”

Jin Kui, and the other eleven golden giants were astonished to discover that since their ascension into golden giants, the influence of the daemonic lair on them had been significantly weakened.

Golden giants possessed a strong resistance to evil.
Dark attribute energy, undeath attribute energy, and other negative attributed powers were less likely to threaten golden giants.

The giant chief activated his newfound ability.

“Demon Suppressing Aura!”

[You've been buffed by Demon Suppressing Aura.
+50 evil damage type resistance.
+100 damage against targets of dark, undead, demon and daemon types!]

All the giants received the buff from the aura.

Even the ordinary silver giants felt the diminishing effects of the corrupted energies.

The giants were filled with joy and excitement.
With their clan chieftain now a Level 5 overlord golden giant, he possessed the capability to lead his people in exploring the treacherous depths of the daemonic cavern!

This was unprecedented in their history.

The corrupted monarchs' ancient tomb was far larger than imagined.

Its vast expanse could easily accommodate a modern metropolis teeming with millions of inhabitants, offering a glimpse into the unparalleled prosperity of the ancient kingdom that once thrived there.

However, at this moment…

The ancient tomb was saturated with malevolent energy.

Natural caverns abounded in every corner, brimming with the essence of daemons and undead.

Conquering this place would require the complete eradication of all the creatures within, a task that couldn't be achieved in a short time.

This was the biggest dungeon Zhang Nu had ever seen.

However, he did not intend to venture directly into the deepest depths this time.

His plan was to first help Thunderclap City in resolving its immediate crisis.

The responsibility of guarding and clearing the Ancient Daemonic Lair would be entrusted to the giants.
Once the outermost creatures were mostly eliminated, Zhang Nu would then confront the final boss.

The group entered the depths of the daemonic lair.
Its surroundings resembled natural caves.

Numerous blood vessels and vein-like tissues covered the ground and walls, serving as conduits for the corrupted monarchs to absorb the energy of the Evil God fragment over the past few thousand years.

The Elven King sensed the presence of many advancing figures and immediately warned everyone, “Be on your guard!”

“Something's approaching!”

“Their strengths are formidable!”

Dozens of towering figures emerged from the shadows ahead.

They were colossal headless knights, standing at an impressive height of eight meters.

[Gravekeeper Knight of the Ancient Monarchs] Level 5 elite.

…….

Skills: Death Charge (B Rank), Death Wail (B Rank), Dark Flame Empowerment (B Rank), etc.

……

Description: These undead knights were once the loyal protectors of the ancient monarch entities.
Impervious to decay and lacking any trace of sentience, they are the most faithful guardians of the tomb, tasked with slaying any intruders and transforming them into sacrificial offerings for the royal mausoleum!

Headless guardian knights.

They swept forward like a hurricane.

Mounted upon colossal skeletal steeds, engulfed in swirling black infernal flames, they charged towards the group with an astonishing momentum.

In the past, when faced with such guardians, the giants could only evade their onslaught.

These foes were already difficult to deal with, especially in their own home turf.

However, seizing the moment, Jin Kui stepped forward resolutely, summoning a radiant spear of golden thunder.

“Your Majesty, no need to intervene!”

“Allow me to handle them!”

In an instant, one of the colossal headless knights was pierced by the golden thunder, disintegrating along with its skeletal steed into a pile of decaying filth.

[You've slain a Gravekeeper Knight of the Ancient Monarchs.
Gold +15,000!]

The other giants swiftly joined the fray.

[You've slain a Gravekeeper Knight of the Ancient Monarchs.
Gold +15,000!]

[You've slain a Gravekeeper Knight of the Ancient Monarchs.
Gold +15,000!]

[You've slain a Gravekeeper Knight of the Ancient Monarchs.
Gold +15,000!]

[……]

Fifteen thousand gold per kill.

The money was flowing in abundantly!

As Zhang Nu observed the spoils, a realization dawned upon him.
While Thunderclap City may lack fertile lands and abundant mineral resources, Thunder Highlands possessed a distinct advantage – an extensive population of high-level magical creatures and numerous ruins similar to this ancient tomb, harbored hidden underground chambers.

Instead of engaging in farming and mining, the giants could focus their efforts on hunting these magical creatures and forge their own path of production.

Not only could they contribute to the Demon King's income, but they could also supply materials to the Demon King's organization.

“We did it!”

“We've emerged victorious!”

“Who would have thought it would be this effortless!”

The giants were filled with exhilaration.
In the past, even overcoming a group of headless knights would have been a daunting and costly endeavor.

Yet now, they had overcome them with ease.

Apart from their overwhelming power gained from their increased levels, the primary reason for their triumph was the unique nature of the Demon Busting Golden Thunder.
It possessed the ability to deal nearly double the damage against evil-type creatures.

The golden giants had become the nemesis of these creatures!

The Demon King and the Elven King had yet to intervene, and already the thirty-five headless knights had been dispatched by the giants.

“Well done!”

“Let us press onward!”

“This path leads to the entrance of the ancient tomb!”

“The source of the evil power commanding the undead knights to attack the outside world is right here.”

“Once we vanquish it, we can ensure a temporary respite for Thunderclap City.”

The group continued to venture deeper into the depths of the daemonic lair.

The blood vessel-like semi-living tissues became increasingly abundant.

Everyone felt that they were not entering a cavern but rather the internal world of a colossal superorganism.
The sensation was truly eerie.

They had vanquished about a hundred more headless knights.

Suddenly, the field of vision expanded five to six times its previous size.

Before their eyes appeared an indescribably hideous monster, the source of the veins and living tissues that permeated the lair.

At first glance, it resembled a gigantic heart with a diameter of hundreds of meters.
Its surface was not only encased in writhing, pulsating living tissue but also emitted a sinister glow, causing intense discomfort in anyone who drew near.

[You've been subjected to mental erosion.
HP -3!]

[You've been subjected to mental erosion.
HP -2!]

[You've been subjected to mental erosion.
HP -4!]

Zhang Nu remained composed, unaffected.

He glanced at the information about the monstrosity.

[Malignant Tumor of the Ancient Monarchs] Level 5 overlord.

……

Skills: Sacrificial Offering to the Ancient Monarchs (Talent), Unlimited Proliferation (Talent), Devourer of All (A Rank), Death Manipulation (A Rank), Mutating Parasitism (A Rank), Touch of Evil (A Rank), etc.

……

Description: Once the central altar of the royal mausoleum, it gradually absorbed an excess of negative energy and underwent a mutation influenced by the power of the Evil God.
Eventually, it gave birth to an exceptionally rare daemonic monstrosity.
Not only does it possess tremendous power, but it also serves as a conduit, channeling power to the ancient monarchs…

Witnessing the sight of this organ-like monstrosity, let alone the young Elven King and the giants, even Zhang Nu was deeply shocked.

This creature had originated from a corrupted altar.

Zhang Nu had thought that the existence of extraterrestrial blood daemon was already peculiar enough.
Yet, when compared to this colossal tumor, the blood daemon seemed almost mundane.

Just how many eldritch-like and enigmatic species existed in this blasted world?
