**Characters**
Chen Rui, Kia Beelzebub, Hart (tauren), Joseph Alvin, Shea Lucifer, Riasha

Chen and Kia have some more fun. Those were the sexual blessing days when this man was squeezed out dry almost every day.

Chen takes Kia to see Tim, the medusas, and tauren in Xilang. Chen brings some enchantment gifts for the tauren, including their priest Hart (tauren). Meanwhile, Delong had advanced to Demon Emperor after eating the devil fruit, and Medusa Queen Riasha had given birth to a great demon baby.

Also, the silver box is soaked in the Fountain of Vitality of the tauren den.

When Kia and Chen return to Dark Moon, Athena tried to pretend not to be jealous since it was her suggestion for them to spend quality time together, but Kia is very respectful to her, and Chen cheers her up too.

The Dark Moon had also undergone some changes during his sexual blessing days.

After surviving the Food sanctions, Shea decided to revamp Dark Moon's economy and build more shops. Joseph offers to fund some of the infrastructure projects. Shea is initially skeptical of Joseph's motives, but decides to go through anyways. Chen expected Joseph to make such a move because it was one of the suggestions from Joseph's 'ally' Aguile.

The cosy and affectionate days at home passed very fast. Although the tenderness of his beloved woman made it unforgettable for Chen Rui, he still resolutely said goodbye because he had more important matters to accomplish.

A good life had just begun. The current struggle was for more peace and happiness in the future.

**Characters**
Chen Rui, Athena, Paglio

Chen trains with Athena, flying on the griffin. Initially, in midair, Chen loses control. His head falls into Athena's chest, and he inadvertently grasps her tender thigh to hang on to the flying beast. Athena blushes and pushes him back up, calling him a hundan (混蛋).

Chen then uses his Analytic Eyes to communicate telepathically with the griffin. He is able to better control the griffin after doing so, making Athena think he is a flying prodigy. Chen also uses the Analytic Eye to see that Athena is Rank E, same as Chen.

At the end of training, Chen gives Athena 3 sugar pills from Paglio, calling them ‘antidotes' to cure Athena, Kia, and Alice's poison. He said the pills would cure them for 3 weeks, so Athena would not have to visit Paglio with him.

In reality, Athena, Kia, and Alice are not actually poisoned. But Chen says he needs to keep up this lie so that he can revisit Paglio to learn more about inscriptions. The only alternative would be to take Paglio's advice and try to sleep with Athena, so that Chen can use her powers to travel through Silent Night Marsh. However, Chen does not want to take advantage of Athena, because Chen is not that kind of person, not wanting to deceive Athena as she already seemed nice to him.

However, at the end of the flight, Athena was a little shy about what happened in the air. Chen starts to apologize. But suddenly Athena turns into her demon form, rises to rank D, and slams Chen to the ground, threatening him to never speak about that incident to anyone.

So close yet so far. But as Athena lets him go, her ears blushed deep red. Who knew that Chen would have such an impact on her?

**Characters**
Chen Rui, Roman, Delia, Akui, Casillas

They see Aku, Casillas, and others fighting over the treasure.

But strangely, the money was all an illusion!

From this, there was another person manipulating the situation from behind the scenes. He wanted to lure everyone here to kill each other.

This person must be very familiar with the cave treasures' situation! Chen Rui suddenly knew where his previous line of thought went wrong. The manipulator of the corpse puppet was not following behind the crowd, but he was already inside the cave!

Then the goal of the person behind the scenes was probably not the treasure, but these treasure hunters! As Chen Rui was in shock, he felt the heat get stronger. Strong spirit fluctuations were rushing to his head, and there was an irresistible impulse to kill.

The most injured was Akui, who was the strongest. Under the control of the spirit, Akui became the target of the siege. Although she killed many opponents, her left arm was broken and her entire body was full of scars. Her plump chest was also exposed due to her broken leather armor. Casillas did not have it easy either. The flesh of his right eye was blurred, and it could not be opened. There was a large bloodstain between his chest and abdomen, and the bronze puppet (War Puppet) had turned into a pile of scrap iron. His own mind also received corresponding damage. In contrast, Delia and Roman's injuries were lighter. There was also another survivor who was also the peak Demon King level. These people were all weakened.

Chen Rui gains the God Eating skill.
Chapter 282

**Characters**
Chen Rui, Toto, Sabrina, Guli, Phil

To really let Freya and Kia regain freedom, he must remove the Soul Shackles. The possibility for Sabrina to remove it by herself was zero. Asking her to remove it would be even harder, and it might even cause suspicions. The best way was to kill Sabrina. Yet, that was very difficult as Sabrina was Demon Emperor level.

Now that Azgalor and Manu hadn't returned, he must make good use of Sabrina and Izola's bet and contradiction. Together with the controlled Fatilu, it should be a key entry point.

The next day, Sabrina took Chen Rui to the end of the Crystal Valley. The road was getting narrower, and the sky above was becoming one line. The place was very dangerously steep. After walking through the passage, a cave finally appeared in front of them.

No one dared to stop Sabrina along the way, but Sabrina was stopped at the entrance of the cave. These were two Beelzebub Royal Family members, both of them were middle-stage Great Demon Kings. Beside them, there were a team of crystal men. Besides, all of them were leader-level, Great Demon Kings. It seemed that this place was guarded heavily.

Sabrina snorted, "Guli, Phil, both of you dare to stop me?"

After Sabrina fights the crystal men, Toto then appears and takes Sabrina and Chen into the cave.

After passing through a few dim and complicated byways, Chen Rui felt that the scene suddenly lit up before his eyes. The scene had completely changed. The cave was just an entrance. After passing it, it was a huge "space" in the open air.

It was completely different from the mysteriousness that he imagined. It was full of bustling people like a huge factory. What made Chen Rui surprised was a huge object that looked like a Gundam.

**Characters**
Chen Rui, Alice Lucifer

Alice presses Chen, and Chen is forced to confess: that he views Alice as a younger sister. Alice seems a bit disappointed that Chen does not view her as something more. She then takes some books out of her space bracelet:

* A lolicon's confession
* Brother and sister, taboo and incest
* Bro, we can't do this!
* Magic! Whoever You Stare Gets Pregnant

Chen's sweat flows like the Yellow River.

Chen then goes dragonfruit picking around the Blue Lake. Meanwhile, he senses Alice is following him secretly, so he lets her. Alice gets closer and closer, so Chen lets her sneak attack. He gets hit by a wooden stun club. He pretends to be knocked unconscious. Alice then sits on his chest, searches his body, opens her legs flirtatiously, and brings her face close to his.

**Characters**
Chen Rui, Roman, Delia, Akui, Hart (corpse puppet)

Chen and the team enter the maze. The Great Demon King Akui follows them, but Chen tricks her into stepping into a Return inscription, which sends her back to the beginning.

Eventually they meet the Corpse Puppet Hart:

Hart said, "We found a hall with many treasures. Casillas killed several people to seize the treasures and sent someone to hunt me. I couldn't rival him, so I had to escape."

Hart gives them a gem. Delia took the gem and looked carefully under the light from the ring of illumination. She exclaimed, "Gold crystal!"

Gold crystal was one of the rarest treasures in the Demon Realm other than the blood crystal. Similar crystals like black crystal, purple crystal and white crystal were used as currency in the Demon Realm. Chen Rui once absorbed Christina's gold crystal magic shackles. However, now that he had the fruits in the galaxy garden, he didn't have to consume this superb material.

Chen then asks Delia and Roman what they knew about Corpse Puppets. After Delia explains magic and necromancy, Chen then reveals that Hart was indeed a corpse puppet.

When Hart's identity was seen through, he made a scary growl from his throat and his body suddenly changed, becoming the Great Demon's combat form instantly. Not only that, the Great Demon's body changed further. His face became more haggard; his body swelled; his nails became longer; the bone penetrated out of his back. He became a horrifying, muscular monster.

"Mutable corpse puppet! Be careful! It's a high-level <Corpse Puppetry>!" Delia shouted and blocked in front of Chen Rui.

In <Analytical Eyes>, Hart's combat power had risen to C+!

Chen Rui, Snowden

Chen uses Puppet Control on Snowden.

After turning Snowden into a puppet, not only the mines, but the entire west passage of Dark Moon was now in his control. When necessary, you could start to change the situation at any time. For now, he didn't want to alert the enemy.

Snowden reveals that Joseph gave the Obsidian heart / Ruby heart to Josh.

Chen Rui rode the wyvern day and night and arrived near Dark Moon in the afternoon.

Chen meets with Arux and asks him to deliver a letter to Shea to not send troops to Xilang as the situation was already under control via Snowden. Troops would just create unwanted attention, and for now it was better to lay low.

Arux also informs Chen:

"The power of the Cloak Gang has grown stronger. At present, only Gorefiend Gang in the city can compete with it. The Mellon Family is the supporter behind Gorefiend Gang. Recently, they have several conflicts with the Cloak Gang. Two days ago, I injured the head of the Gorefiend Gang, Wick. They should have no major movements in the short term."

This obstacle must be removed. At present, the most important thing was the Obsidian Heart. The rest would have to wait until Athena woke up.

Chen then spends some time in the Galaxy Garden and Exchange Center.

**Characters**
Chen Rui, Conner

Chen then interrogates Connor, using his Higher Demon strength. But Connor self-implodes.

This passage was longer and more winding than he imagined. It seemed that the distance between the upper and lower levels was further than imagined. Finally, the glow of the magic light appeared at the bottom of the passage. Chen Rui quickly sped up his movements.

The moment he passed through the exit of the passage, Chen Rui felt as if his body had passed through a water wave and he was pushed toward the lower exit. He tried to climb back up using the same path, but no matter what he did, a ripple-like force would bounce him back. It seemed that what Connor said that the destruction of the enchantment was true.

The light in the lower level was very dim and the air was more humid. A pungent odor permeated the air from time to time. Many magic lights were destroyed. Skeletons could be seen on the ground from time to time.

There seemed to be a sound in front of him. Chen Rui quickly increased his pace and saw a dark shadow flickering in front of the passing, emitting a "buzzing" sound. Even the magic lights nearby flickered from being covered by a large number of continuous shadowy movements. <Analytical Eyes> displayed: bloodthirsty demon fly, comprehensive strength: E.

It turns out to be the sound of these flies!

Chen Rui threw a punch. He was currently on the level of a top Higher Demon. He unleashed his strength that he learned from the surfy sea. Wave after wave of ferocious energy surged the areas his fist reached. These Intermediate Demon-level demonic flies fumbled and fell. However, these demonic flies were extremely tough. They did not die or lose their fighting power. After a while, they flew up again from the ground and continued to swarm him.

Because the demonic flies were flying in the air, it was difficult for Chen Rui to hit all his attacks. Unless they were directly hit or stepped to death on the ground, it was impossible to completely eliminate this swarm of troublesome "flies".

<Analytical Eyes> did not work on the demon flies. This was the first time it did not work.

In the demonic fire was Athena who was in a combat form. The leather armor on her body was beyond broken, the great sword in her hands constantly waving. She was fighting with three strange monster flies about the size of a head.

There was also a fast-moving translucent shadow next to Athena, which constantly pushed away the approaching demonic flies. That must be Dodo. Behind her, there were a few Medusas leaning against the wall behind them, forming a half circle. They also fighting the demonic flies. They seemed to be fighting alongside Athena.

Chen then uses Atomic Slash to destroy the smaller flies, but then bigger level D flies arrive.

Chen Rui, Azgalor, Kaguli, Shea Lucifer, Isis, Lilith

Azgalor gives Chen a bracelet as a gift for looking after Kia well.

Galor reveals that he is the VP of the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce and that Aleus of the Bloody Empire is the head of it. Chen Rui connects the dots and posits that Red Leaf is tied to Bloodfall and Raizen. Galor says his purpose is to propose a kind of alliance between Red Leaf and Dark Moon against Obsidian in the capital.

Little did Galor know that Chen Rui was the one who destroyed his base, Crystal Valley, and Chen Rui had already seen through his identity and true purpose. Chen Rui knew that Galor and Manu had ambition and wished to restore the Beelzebub's former glory and so they were just using Dark Moon as a stepping stone to rise to power. They would eventually renege and target Dark Moon.

Chen Rui tells Galor to wait a few days as he waits for Shea's decision on whether to discuss the cooperation further.

Chen then heads back to meet Kaguli, Shea and two guests Isis and Lilith. They were commissioned by Catherine to propose a cooperation with Dark Moon as well.

Alice Lucifer, Chen Rui, Silva

## First Kiss

Alice kisses Chen, sticking in her moist tongue. She then picks up one of her naughty books and flips through it. Chen can guess which one it is. Chen is unable to hold back the feeling in his pants. Alice feels it from behind, so she is about to examine it.

Chen could not let this go any further, so he yawns, which makes Alice jump back. Chen then pretends to wake up, asking what Alice is doing. Alice says she went looking for him and found him unconscious.

Alice blushes. She was like a shy young apple and also the best young apple. However, underripe was still underripe after all.

As they turn back home, they hear an irresistible laughter. Alice looks for the noise, and Chen Rui acted as if he didn't hear anything, but he was fiercely cursing in his heart: Damn Paglio has been watching the fun out of us all this while!

Later, as Chen and Paglio train to defeat Reka, Paglio continues to laugh at Chen about it.

## Silva

Chen goes to the Cloak Gang to get info from Didi on Silva.

"Silva's party passed a message asking Master and Sir Didi to go to the ancient house on the 4th street of the southeast area. They also said they're afraid that we will play tricks, so only two of us are allowed to go."

"The ancient house? That is Silva's nest! That guy's reputation has always been very poor. Master, let's forget about this deal!" The old dwarf looked anxious, "It's all Jesse's fault for missing at the critical moment!"

Chen Rui spoke, "Let's go; you lead the way."

"I have to get the fluorescent stones." Chen Rui turned around and looked at the old dwarf, "This is your last test. If you dare not go, I won't force you. However, don't call me Master in the future."

The old dwarf was shocked. The difficult life with his daughter in his previous days came to his mind, then he thought of the huge transformation after the encounter with Aguile and the trust of his "master". He contemplated in his mind for a while, clenched his teeth and finally walked forward.

Whether it was out of the appreciation or the thought of seeking wealth in risks, the old dwarf had taken the most important step in his life.

the 4th street alone was filled with his men; mostly muscular, ugly people.

The courtyard of this ancient house was quite large; it was similar to a villa. Through layers of protection, they finally saw Silva in a hall.

Chen (as Agulie) negotiates the price to buy Silva's Fluorescent stones. When bargaining does not go through, Silva and his henchmen attack.

Watt, Chen Rui, Torre, Doug, Medusa Queen (Riasha's mother)

Watt, Chen's Tauren friend appears. Watt assures Chen that tauren are not medusas and swear to protect Chen's team. They bring the captive Doug to the Tauren den.

At that place, Chen Rui saw the tauren, Torre who could cast double halo again. Similar to Watt, Torre showed great enthusiasm when he saw his two comrades, Chen Rui and Athena, and he felt relieved.

Torre's status seemed to be rather high within the Tauren's Den. Other than possessing the buffing halos, he also had a certain healing power. He was helping some taurens to heal their injuries.

Chen uses potions to help treat their injuries, instantly winning the hearts and minds of the tauren brethren.

He greets the chief tauren.

Chen then interrogates Doug, who says that their elemental king mutated after receiving some object and before the demon flies arrived. The king then began controlling other earth elementals.

Chen Rui was thinking about one thing. For the underground world, he was just an outsider. Even if the Earth Elemental King ruled the entire underground world, it had nothing to do with him. At present, the most important thing was to know how to safely return to the mines on the ground.

If there was no other way out, then he needed to find a way to use that only route by relying on the strength of a Demon Emperor to forcibly break the seal. Even if he had the Super System, it was impossible to become a Demon Emperor in such a short time. The Chief Tauren and Queen Medusa were both the strongest powerhouses in the underground world, but he wasn't sure if they met the requirements to break the seal.

If the Tauren Leader and Queen Medusa couldn't do it, then there was only one candidate left... the Earth Elemental King.

Silva, Aguile, Chen Rui

Silva shows Agulie the basement where all the fluorescent stones are kept, alongside dozens of captive women and children.

The fluorescent stones were stored in several boxes in the warehouse, but there were actually dozens of people locked up in jail beside the warehouse. Among these people, there were succubi, dark elf, centaur, and even two female great demons, all of which were women and children. They were all naked, restrained by magic handcuffs and dispirited.

Chen Rui suddenly recalled that Dark Moon often had incidents of missing women and children in Shea's estate logbook. He thought about it and suddenly realized it. He said calmly, "No wonder you can earn so much money. It turned out that the unpopular business like the fluorescent stones is just a cover. Where will these demons be trafficked to? What's the price?"

Silva saw that Aguile seemed to be interested, so he took a sigh of relief and replied, "Sir is truly an understanding person. These demons will be trafficked to Blue Lava Estate as their bidding price is really high. If sir is willing, it can be our Cloak Gang's biggest source of income..."

Silva then explains the history of the Blue Lava Estate.

After Chen Rui probed a lot of information from Silva, he patiently asked, "Recall carefully. Is there anything that you didn't mention clearly?"

Silva pondered carefully for a while, then he shook his head and said, "I'm certain there's no more. I've said everything that I know; I dare not to hide; I will do my best under sir and play my role to make Cloak Gang rise to another level!"

"Very good!" Chen Rui nodded with satisfaction. The next sentence made Silva's sneer froze on his face, "Unfortunately, you have no value now."

That was the last sentence that Silva heard in his life.

The Cloak Gang gets a new HQ at Silva's base.

Chen then buys the Exchange Center in his Super System.

Chen Rui, Athena, Diudiu

Dodo tells the story of how it swallowed a dead dragon and consumed devil fruits, thereby gaining the dragon menace and ghost dragon illusion powers.

In order to please its new master, Dodo pleasingly offered three things that were left by the dragon which were a doll, a bead and a magic map.

Chen Rui didn't study them carefully and simply put the three items into the storage.

He walked to the dragon bones and felt that the bones seemed to contain a strange energy. He tried using <Aura Conversion>, but no notification appeared. The skeleton was very huge. Unless it was cut into strips, otherwise the space bracelet wouldn't be able to contain it. However, it was nothing for the storage warehouse, so the skeleton was kept easily.

As for the devil fruits, Chen Rui started calculating. There are 6 fruits in total. They are about the size of lychee with a hard shell, and its texture is delicate yet complicated. Although the fruit is precious, the most precious thing should be the fruit tree. If Dodo left, it might be destroyed by demonic beasts – Oh right! Galaxy garden! I don't know if the plants outside the Super System can be planted?

Considering the time, the pivotal seed (枢仙种子) should be mature now. When he thought of that, Chen Rui immediately entered the galaxy garden in the Super System.

Chen Rui says that Shea is unable to meet with Galor and gives him a warning that it is not safe for Galor here.

Galor also receives a note saying 'Danger', supposedly written by Kia.

Azgalor pretends to leave Dark Moon but at night sneaks to the Dark Moon Palace. There he meets a veiled woman (Isis). He tries to escape her gaze. They end up fighting, with the woman using Element Weakening and Azgalor using Death Stone Flower and demonic flies.

Isis summons 4 War Puppets to defeat Azgalor.
Compound elements

Compound Elements (复合元素 *fuhe yuansu*), combining multiple magic elements

Normally, a magician could only use 1 elemental power at a time, but there were also very few people with exceptional talents who can use 2 or more elements at the same time. These originally hard to combine elements were merged into one with special techniques, unleashing extraordinary power.

This was the power of compound elements. The compound magic power was not as simple as 1 plus 1 equals 2. It was enough to cause multiple effects. However, this compound process was full of danger. If one was not careful during the training process, they might hurt themself. If one was not someone who had a profound understanding and control of magical elements, they wouldn’t succeed.

Of course, not all elements could be merged together, such as water and fire elements; wind and earth elements; light and dark elements, which were “sworn enemies” of each other. They couldn’t be combined under normal circumstances.

Chen needs to leave to complete the deal with Obsidian and return to Xilang Mountain to wake up Moore. He promises Zola he will return and offers a stone slab as 'mortgage'.

Chen obtained the stone slab from Jacob at Crystal Valley. They contained ancient runes and were from 2000 years ago, and Zola was surprised that they were finally returned to her so that she can take advantage of the runes.

But when Zola asks, Chen says he got them from Moore and that there may be more. Chen says he would need to visit Moore first and that Zola can keep the slab in exchange for teaching Chen more about ancient runes. Zola accepts.

On the way out, he falls into one of Zola's explosive traps and thinks how dark-hearted that fairy dragon is.

Leaving Rainbow Valley Chen heads to Fallen Angel capital. At Isabella's house, Isabella was chatting with Krobelus. Chen gives Isabella Sea blue beads and Krobelus a large gem. They are enamoured.

Isabella then suggests Chen to meet Obsidian, but warns him to watch out for Rommel as Yini had been fighting Rommel these days. With that, Chen heads to Obsidian's Fallen Angel Palace.

Paglio, Chen Rui, Didi, Kaka, Gauss

## Preparation

Paglio relents and says just in case Chen is unable to defeat Arux, Chen should lure Arux into the Blue Wave Lake, where Paglio will personally settle the war contract and deal with Arux.

Although I only have the power of a Great Demon King now, killing a Greater Demon isn't hard, especially the word ‘poison' in my name isn't just decorative!"

Chen does not want to rely on luck and says he must still prepare, so the two plan how to defeat the speed demon Jess. Paglio says Chen needs to train with weights to gain endurance against the fast demon. Chen has a plan to use the extra gravity feature in the Training Ground. Paglio says Chen must recover from his wounds first and 5 days later he will personally train him at the level of a mid-rank demon.

## Cloak Gang

Chen returns, heals at the lab with Aldas' potions and Star Body in one night.

The next morning Chen goes to the Cloak Gang and asks Didi to collect intel on Jess for Agulie.

In battle, we must despise the enemy, and I must have the belief and courage to win; In strategy, I must value our enemies; I can only be unbeatable by knowing ourselves and our enemies.

Kaka then arrives and demonstrates his talent for making poisonous drugs. Chen takes note.

Chen asks Didi to do three things for Agulie: 1) collect further intel; 2) make more money; 3) buy a list of materials for Agulie using some of the proceeds Agulie won at the Arena against Lance.

Didi is moved by how much trust Chen and Agulie put in him.

## Palace

Chen returns to the palace. In the council hall, Shea was discussing with Old Gauss; she was a little surprised at Chen Rui's early arrival to work. She said, "Chen Rui, you're right on time. I just received the news that Joseph has returned to the Red Spirit Estate because of his failure in the Sky Battle. The emperor was dissatisfied, and his brother, Kanita seized the opportunity to propose depriving him of his qualification to be at Dark Moon. Currently, Joseph and Kanita are fighting each other in various ways, so Joseph should not return to the Dark Moon for the time being."

Old Gauss spoke up, "I think this is a good opportunity for us, Chen Rui. What do you think?"

Chen Rui looked like he was pondering. He had found his place in the Demon Realm. When he was "Chen Rui", he was a strategist who planned and devise. When he was "Aguile", he was a warrior that pursued strength at all cost.

Until one day, he would possess the power that could truly control his destiny.

## Treasure incident

News spreads that Chen Rui awoke. Moreover, treasure had been found near Blue Wave Lake. It was a Fountain of Vitality. People connect the dots and deduce that CR revived from the fountain. Soon, treasure hunters from around the Demon Realm flock to Dark Moon to search for the fountain as well.

Meanwhile, back at Dark Moon Palace, Shea and Gauss talk.

"This strategy is really clever. Those looking for treasure will definitely use the Dark Moon City as a supply base. Perhaps most of them will reside in the Dark Moon. This way, not only will Dark Moon's economy be promoted, but Dark Moon's emerging battle ball, night market, Princess Retail Store, and delicacies will quickly spread through these people. This is equal to... according to that person's words, it's free advertisement. I believe businessmen from all walks of life will come soon. Princess Royal's newly built streets, shops and various facilities will be fully used."

"I also admire his mind." Shea's eyes showed a faint warmth, "He persuaded me with only a joke. In a prison, the letters from prisoners are subject to strict scrutiny before they are being sent. There is a prisoner who received a letter from his wife saying that she was not in good health and could not do farming for food. The prisoner wrote back to his wife, telling her not to cultivate because of the important things buried in the cultivated land. As a result, his wife wrote again a few days later. She said that the investigators dug up all the cultivated land, so she can easily plant seeds."

Meanwhile, Gauss tries to think of a way to marry Chen to Shea. Gauss realizes that Chen has powerful allies and that Chen may have his own ambitions. However, Chen also gave Shea 4 black potions. One black potion would be enough to shake the demon realm, but four was like a gift from above. Gauss decides it is better to have Chen with his talent firmly allied with Dark Moon.
Crossbow arrow

## Origin

These magic crossbows were a result of research by Tonk of the Cloak Gang under the guidance of Master Xingxing. Each could be fired 5 times. Every Dark Moon cavalry was equipped with two of these crossbows. However, due to the high cost and limited amount, they could only be equipped with this cavalry currently.

## Story

Rows of archers held up their longbows and shot arrows into the sky. However, the loss of the cavalry was not heavy. They were all equipped with shiny silver light armor and shields. The powerful maneuverability and effective defensive devices greatly reduced the arrows' lethality. At this time, Kaguli, who rushed to the front, screamed. All the cavalry took out a strange bow. To be precise, it was a crossbow. They fired crossbow arrows toward the sky on top of the Red Spirit army.

At this moment, the almost declining crossbow arrow suddenly exploded in the sky, ejecting countless smaller arrows like second-level fire arrows. They shot toward the Red Spirit front army.

With this sudden change, the Red Spirit's front army hardly had the time to raise their shields. What was more frightening was that these small arrows would explode. They were equivalent to small magic bullets, but the range of attack was very wide. In the midst of continuous explosion sounds, there was a horrifying chaos with heavy casualties all of a sudden.

Josh's face was pale. At such a long distance, the crossbow is actually better than the bow! It simply subverts the conventional law of long-range warfare. When did this kind of weapon appear in the Demon Realm?

When the front army was in chaos, the cavalry had already narrowed the distance. If the Red Spirit cavalry were dispatched now, they might be able to entangle and delay the opponent's advancement, but Josh did not do so because the magician team had finished their preparation. The dense magic bombardment would become a nightmare for these strange cavalry.

Suddenly, wind blades, fireballs, icicles, and thunder poured down like rain. They intertwined to form a splendid and colorful death web.

It was still the strange crossbow arrow that split and exploded. It had a wide range of damage. Amid the sound of the explosion, the Red Spirit cavalry fell off their horses. Obviously, the Dark Moon cavalry didn't load the crossbow arrow just now. It seemed that the crossbow could be shot more than once.

Paglio, Chen Rui, Athena

Paglio is hungry and finishes eating the leftover meat from dinner. He wants more. Athena quickly jumps in morphing into her devil form bearing her sword, but weakened from Paglio's corrosive poison breath. However Paglio easily dissolves her iron sword and threatens to eat the four.

Chen is immune to the poison and tells Paglio to stop. Athena is caught by surprise, impressed by Chen's bravery in confronting the dragon, thinking that Chen was already much better than Alan.

Chen challenges Paglio to a poison duel, but Paglio already can tell Chen is immune, so he turns down the offer. Chen then says if Paglio eats Princess Alice it will unleash the whole Fallen Angel Empire against Paglio. However, Paglio says he is not afraid of upsetting the Lucifer family as even the great Sakya Lucifer was at most his equal.

Chen then realizes that there are ancient runes on Paglio's body (but others like Athena cannot see the runes). Chen reminds Paglio that he has been sealed by the Light-Dark Lock and offers to help free Paglio from his bondage in exchange for life. Paglio gets a bit insecure, saying only a certain overbearing woman could do that. But Chen is sincere, saying that he is willing to help.

Chen and Paglio then enter a master-servant contract to help free Paglio of his chains.
Coins

Magic Crystal Coins (魔晶币 *Mojingbi*) or Demon Crystal Coins, are used as currency / money in the Demon Realm.

## Types

The magic crystal coins are arranged from highest to lowest value: Black Crystal Coin (黑晶币), Purple Crystal Coin (紫晶币), and White Crystal Coin (白晶币). The exchange rate between each type was 1 to 100.*"*

* 1 Black Coin = 100 Purple Coins = 10000 White Coins.
* 1 Purple Coin = 100 White Coins.

## Example calculation

"5 black crystal coins" or "4 black crystal coins and 99 purple crystal coins": The difference was just between 500 and 499 purple coins.

Charles (alias)

*This article is about Chen Rui's alias. For a disambiguation, see Charles (disambiguation).*

Charles (查尔斯) is an alias Chen uses when he travels to Moling Town to meet Kanita and perform the Business transaction. Charles was naturally Chen Rui who activated the Camouflage technique.

Charles introduces himself as Samuel Camelot's elder brother and the successor of the Kemplot Family.

He sometimes says he is Charles Kemplot / Charles Camelot. Other times he says he is Charles Roland.

## Appearance

The mysterious human had slowly taken off his cloak. The man was not very tall, with blonde hair, fair skin, golden pupils, and a tough face. The breath of power exuded from his body gave Kanita a shiver, giving the vibes of an at least Great Demon King level powerhouse.

The arrogant Samuel’s respect of his brother was not fake at all. This was different from Kanita’s attitude toward Joseph which was the complete opposite.

## Disappearance

Shea had already received the intel from the capital. The large and small estate and capital families of the empire had all gathered their funds to Obsidian. However, the mysterious “Charles” mysteriously disappeared after arriving at the capital not long ago. There was also relatively secret news – the financial adviser, Isabella, who had the reputation of the Imperial City’s Flower, died unexpectedly. At the insistence of her friend Krobelus, a secret funeral was held. No one knows whether it was related to “Charles”.

The cause of “Charles”‘ death was actually concealed by Obsidian for fear of causing chaos. However, the truth would be revealed eventually, especially the elder families, who were extremely sensitive to the capital movements. Although Obsidian was the only “remaining” witness at Leisure Moon Inn, many elder families still had doubts – Didn’t Charles have a relationship with Isabella? Judging from the severely damaged scene of Leisure Moon Inn, perhaps it was a terrifying battle at that time. Even Isabella died, so Charles…

Obsidian insisted that “Charles” had safely escaped to the human world since there was no way to verify it anyway. However, even Krobelus faintly guessed that the human was most probably dead, let alone those old and experienced elder families?

## Trivia

Chen Rui reveals he chose the name after Charles Ponzi as Charles' business transaction was similar to a Ponzi scheme.

**Characters**
Aldas, Chen Rui

Aldas then explains that unravelling the mysteries of the human species would benefit the residents of Dark Moon City, including Alice's older sister. Aldas then plans to dissect Chen for experimentation.

Chen then cries out saying he will reveal all the 'secrets'. Aldas listens attentively.

Chen then says that it started from a place called Mount Huaguo (花果山). He was playing and fell into a waterfall, where he found the Water Curtain Cave (水帘洞). In the cave he met Sun Wukong (孙悟空). Sun was a master of alchemy (炼金术) and carried a Ruyi Jingu Bang (如意金箍棒). Sun also created an elixir called the Chiyao Peach (瑶池蟠桃) that prolonged life and could even grant immortality.

Chen then thinks to himself: this is a matter of life or death, so he will lie as much as he can. Even if Wu Cheng'en (吴承恩) and other fans of Journey to the West choke him after death, it will be worth it.

Aldas is stunned, but asks, if Sun was so powerful, how come he never heard his name?

Chen then fabricates some more: he explains that there was an ancient Primordial Age (洪荒时代) known as Era of the Gods (诸神时代). Sun lived during this time, and because of his immense power, Gods and humans only fought among themselves, until one day, the Gods sent an army of 100,000 to attack Sun. However the gods lost. The battle was later known as 'Twilight of the Gods' (诸神的黄昏).

Eventually though, Sun was put down by the most powerful of gods: Buddha. The gods then erased the primordial age from history. Even ancient books may not have any records, or at best make passing references to this era.

Chen then says he received the 'inheritance' (传承) or power from Sun and then was immediately teleported to the demon world. Chen says he is immune to poison because of Sun's blessing. However, as a mortal, Chen only received a portion of Sun's power and would have to grow his power to acquire more knowledge.

Alice's interest is piqued and she wants to learn more about the primordial age. Chen then borrows stories from the Shanhai Jing (《山海经》): the monsters Taowu, Qiongqi, Yingzhao, Huashe (檮杌、穷奇、英招、化蛇).

However, Aldas remains skeptical. Chen then offers some evidence to Aldas. Chen explains to Aldas the game of Huarong Dao (华容道).

Alice is immediately hooked to the puzzle. Soon her servant Kia enters the room, and Chen is smitten by her voluptuous beauty. Alice and Kia then leave the room to greet the Royal Princess (Alice's older sister). Alice leaves with Kia, asking if her older sister found out that Alice followed Athena to the Yin Rainforest (阴雨丛林).

Crystal Territory

* Overview

He immediately shouted, and all the cracks on his body healed. His original body appeared. This was a huge 10-meters long crystal dragon with a pair of wings on his back. His body was completely transparent, exuding magnificent power.

The crystal dragon shook his body, and the crystal light shone all over. Countless huge crystal pillars erupted out of the ground, refracting the moonlight into countless purple lights which looked mysterious and magnificent.

And it was the strongest territory activated in the dragon form!
