"Captain!!" The tall, thin young man standing behind the heavy swordsman hurried to rush over.

He found the arm that the heavy swordsman had lost and frantically tried to attach it back.

Of course, all of this was in vain.

They lacked a powerful cleric. Even when dealing with a mortal wound, they could only rely on the faint healing effects of a potion.

"Stop trying to save me, you guys go!! Take the relics and leave this forest!!" The heavy swordsman roared at his comrades who wanted to save him.

“There's no escape, Captain... How can we escape from the wide-range destructive magic of the Demon King?”

“We're just unlucky. This mission was nine chances in ten of death. When we invaded the territory of the demon king, everyone had already braced themselves... It's not that easy to make a profit from the hands of the leading demon king among the Seven Pillars."

In the center of the team, someone was complaining in a trembling voice, and his spreading fear quickly infected the young men and women behind him.

"Folks, let's give it all we've got... Even if it's the Demon King, under the exhaustion of magical elements, the continent of demons might not necessarily stir up a big storm!!"

The bearded uncle at the end of the team raised one hand, and the magic orb that he had been holding in his hand floated in his palm.

It was a brilliant blue crystal ball, emitting a strong power of the water element.

A blue light surged, and an unknown magic array appeared in front of the bearded man.

This was his proudest spell, a sixth-tier great magic.

At his call, adventurers one after another held their weapons, and on the tips of the weapons, magic circles of different colors began to rotate.

At this point, they could only try to face the Demon King head-on, this was their only choice.

Magic circles layered over each other, providing protection above their heads.

The dense elemental power was visible to the naked eye.

All of them had gone all out, almost exerting all the magic power in their bodies.

In the dazzling light, a strong sense of oppression came from above.

Even Luo Ning, who was standing far away, felt a terrifying sense of oppression.

It was pure power, not belonging to any magic.

And this feeling made Luo Ning feel a bit familiar...

In the sky, Lilulu's weapon, The Laevatain, had opened its eyes, with endless black magic power leaking from around the eyes.

Those eyes looked somewhat godless and slow compared to when they were in Luo Ning's hands, lacking some spirituality.

But this was already enough for Lilulu.

The only adventurer who could pose a threat to her, the S-rank adventurer, had already been downed. Before the others could use any magic or tricks, Lilulu would wipe them out first -- this was Lilulu's plan.

It was also the strategy she had learned from dealing with humans in her long combat experience.

They couldn't drag it out; they needed to end the fight quickly.

Sneaky humans could never be relied on to play fair.

'Boom—!'

The Laevatain smashed straight down.

This was the umpteenth time that Lilulu had swung the weapon in recent days.

But this time, she truly felt the impact of a successful hit.

The colorful magic circle, imbued with enormous magic power, was easily shattered.

The sound of smashing was as crisp as a glass bottle.

The moment the light emitted by the magic circle disappeared, the roaring sound of The Laevatain hitting the ground followed.

Collapsed ground, broken branches blown by the strong wind...

Squatting on the ground, Luo Ning's forehead was slick with sweat. He hastily looked towards where Lilulu was.

"Hiss--"

"Ah, my hand, my leg!!"

"Captain, Captain are you alright... Captain?"

The sickle swung once more, and the previous mature male voices disappeared.

The following was something rolling noise.Please translate the following Chinese text into English:

At this moment, only half of the living people were left.

Witnessing all this, Luo Ning's pupils trembled a bit.

Those were humans... to Luo Ning, they were just like him, humans with hands and feet.

He was just an ordinary person who had never even seen a chicken killed, let alone a person.

On his third day in this world, Luo Ning felt such a profound fear for the first time.

He could smell the thick scent of blood.

This smell was tens of times stronger than the bloody taste he had when he bit his lip during meals.

The pungent smell lingered in his mind, and Luo Ning felt his stomach churn.

From a distance, Lilulu, holding a sickle, stepped towards the three remaining survivors.

The remainders were young humans, about sixteen or seventeen years old, two males and one female.

Because they were intentionally protected at the rear of the group, they were largely unharmed.

But because they have completely lost their fighting power, they collapsed to the ground.

Facing Lilulu's approach, they retreated, continually stepping back.

"No, no..."

"Demon King, Demon King..."

Their eyes were full of fear when they looked at Lilulu.

But they still tightly held onto their pockets. Inside it, there seemed to be something more precious than their own lives.

"Knowing that you can't beat me, you still dared to trespass into my territory...Is money more important than life to you?"

Lilulu looked down at the three terrified people below her with a calm voice:

"Although I'm not sure what method you used to break the demons' barrier...Is doesn't matter anymore, just die."

Her voice was so flat as if she was stating a very simple fact.

"Ahhh!!"

The human girl screamed out in fear directly.

"Help, help... help..."

Her whispering cry for help was nasal, tears streamed down her face blurring her sight.

She didn't want to die, she wanted to go back to see her family.

Her soft white legs were smeared with mud, but she was still crawling outwards.

It seemed that as long as she crawled one more step, there would be a greater chance of escape.

But everyone knew.

No one could escape from the hands of the Demon King Lilulu.

From the moment they saw the Demon King, they were already dead...

Despair and pain made the girl's body tremble continuously, she stretched out her hand, crawling little by little, trying to grab something.

She managed to grab something.

A man's ankle?

A head brimming with tears was lifted up.

She saw a man with black hair and black eyes, a perfectly normal human.

"Help, help me..."

She opened her dry lips producing a voice with a tight throat.

Initially, Luo Ning didn't want to interfere, he wasn't familiar enough with this world, had too little information, and couldn't make the correct judgement.

But, after all, he was still human...

Seeing these flesh and blood, very real living people die in front of him, Luo Ning, as an ordinary young man from Earth, couldn’t face it.

By the time he had recovered, he had already joined the intense situation.

"You want to stop me?"

Lilulu's eyes radiated red light in the dark.

"... Let them go."

Luo Ning stood in front of the three adventurers, calmly looking at Lilulu.

Surrounding him was the scent of blood.

It was pungent, strong, and nauseating.

Luo Ning wanted to escape from here so badly.

But he can't leave.

Luo Ning was never some kind-hearted good man. On Earth, even if there was a sudden event in society, he was usually a bystander, looking on for a few moments and then leaving.

But the situation now…

People will die.

If he chooses to turn a blind eye, the three surviving peers will die in the next moment.

He is somewhat afraid.

But he knows better than anyone that this is the survival rule of this cruel world.

The deep hatred between humans and demons makes coexistence impossible. Every day in this world, bloody events like the one before him are taking place.

He can't change much, but at least he can influence the events at hand.

He takes a deep breath and says:

"If the human team is annihilated and none of them return, humans will assemble a stronger team in search of their comrades to come back..."

"And now the demons are not in a position to withstand a large-scale team invasion..."

It's not entirely making up excuses for himself. Luo Ning is analyzing the current situation of the demons.

The demons are collectively declining. Killing a human team might not matter, but if it stirs up the forces behind them, it won't be good for the demons.

"Do you think I would fear them?"

"Or do you think that I would let them go, God of Creation?"

Lilulu’s expression is complex.

Her attacks are ineffective against Luo Ning. If Luo Ning really wants to stop her with all his might... the result is unpredictable.

She feels somewhat despondent.

God of Creation... is indeed on the side of humans.

He created them, abandoned them, and then trampled them into the mud as if they were worthless garbage.

No matter what happened, he always stood on the side of humans.

It's the same this time.
