Abyss Game: I am covered with cheats

“I had imagined the scene of our meeting,” a cold voice echoed from the bone throne. The clatter of metal armor reached Xu Tong's ears. “But I certainly didn't expect you to appear before me in this manner.”

The demon carrying Xu Tong could only lower its head. “My Lord, please forgive me, I truly dared not disobey his command…”

“It's fine,” the Demon King waved a hand. The demon beneath Xu Tong suddenly vanished, and Xu Tong fell from the sky, landing steadily on the ground. “Your task is complete. Return to the battlefield.”

Xu Tong glanced at the empty space where he had been carried and asked the Demon King, “I thought you would kill it, seeing as it disobeyed your orders.”

“Meaningless killing serves no purpose. Disobeying my orders is not important; what matters is not betraying the Demon Army's overall goal.” The Demon King replied calmly, “It brought you before me, which in a way completes my task, so there's no problem.”

Xu Tong's attention was drawn to the Demon King's face.

More precisely, not the face, but one of the Demon King's eyes.

From that jet-black eye, Xu Tong sensed a feeling of familiarity.

“No wonder these Demon Army soldiers are willing to fight to the death for you. It seems that besides your immense power, you also possess some exceptional qualities,” Xu Tong retracted his gaze. “Now, here's the problem. I can give you two choices. Let's see which one you pick.

“First, the Demon Army withdraws, and from now on, humans and demons remain separate, and everyone returns to the peaceful life they once had.”

The Demon King's brow furrowed slightly. “What if I refuse?”

Xu Tong spread his hands. “Then there's only one option.

“I'll kill you, then slaughter the entire Demon Army, leaving not a single piece of armor intact, and restore peace to the world.”

The Demon King's delicate face twisted slightly as she listened to Xu Tong's words. “Do you think you can do it? Kill a Demon King? You're just a fake hero. Do you really think you possess the power of a true hero from a fairy tale?

“I'm sorry, but this is reality, and things won't unfold like in a fairy tale.”

Xu Tong wore a helpless expression.

“Whether things will unfold like in a fairy tale or not, why don't you try it yourself and find out?”

The Demon King's eyes flickered.

“There's no need.

“I've already finished testing.”

As soon as the words left her mouth, a jet-black longsword pierced through Xu Tong's chest!

The sword was like a nail, pinning Xu Tong firmly to the ground.

Blood gurgled out, and he didn't even have a chance to retaliate.

“Is this the strength of a hero? It seems it's nothing more than this.”

The Demon King looked at Xu Tong, who was lying on the ground, seemingly lifeless, and felt a sense of ridicule.

But in her heart, a cloud of unease loomed.

Could it be that I've been overthinking things? This hero couldn't even fight back in front of me. How could he possibly save the world in the prophecy?

Or… is this person a fake, and the real hero is hiding somewhere else, waiting for me to reveal all my cards before appearing?

Just as the Demon King was pondering these things,

a round of applause came from not far away.

Xu Tong, who had been stabbed through the chest by the black sword, was actually standing not far away, without any signs of injury.

And the one who had been pinned to the ground was merely a phantom.

Ephemeral Shadow!

“You attacked so fast! Thankfully, I was one step ahead and reacted, otherwise, another piece of equipment would have had to take effect.”

A peaceful smile appeared on Xu Tong's face, seemingly without any anger at the Demon King's sneak attack.

“If another piece of equipment had taken effect, I wouldn't be sure if you could withstand it.”

Xu Tong possessed an ultimate life-saving item called the Yellow Robe Shard.

Whenever he suffered a fatal blow, he could negate it once and retaliate against the attacker.

Xu Tong had barely triggered this equipment, so he wasn't sure how powerful it really was.

Perhaps, it might even kill the Demon King in front of him instantly.

Using Ephemeral Shadow to evade the sword's piercing attack was merely Xu Tong giving her some face.

“Dodged it? How did he do that? It doesn't seem like magic, there's no magical energy fluctuation…”

The Demon King looked at Xu Tong with a somewhat surprised expression. Could it be that this person, like the diplomat, was a visitor who originally didn't belong to this world?

If that's the case, then this battle… will be very difficult.

“Do you have any other skills?” Xu Tong acted like a senior, showing great tolerance towards a junior. “If you do, use all your skills. Let me see if you can force me to use my most important trump card.

“After all, you are the legendary Demon King. If you can't force me to use that thing, I'll be a little disappointed.

“If that doesn't work, you can also use your eye.”

As he spoke, Xu Tong's gaze landed on the Demon King's jet-black eye.

Clearly, he had already seen the extraordinary nature of that eye.

That familiar feeling couldn't be produced by just any object.

Especially when it appeared on a specific body part.

The Demon King and Xu Tong's gazes met, as if she had realized something.

“You, do you know the origin of this eye?”

“The origin of the eye?” Xu Tong smiled.

“Not only do I know, but I can even take it away. Do you believe it?”

The Demon King's pupils dilated slightly.

Xu Tong's figure had already disappeared from her sight.

A hand had gently covered her eye.

“But, I can give you a chance.

“Because I'm lazy, too lazy to study what this eye can do.

“So, I'll let you be the test subject. Show me exactly what this eye can do.”

The Demon King dared not be careless. Without any hesitation, she decisively activated the power of her Demon King Eye.

“Kneel!”

A cold, low shout echoed across the plains, reaching the ears of every demon.

An invisible force acted upon the bodies of every demon on the plains.

Inside the dark and secluded room in the Demon King's castle.

The diplomat raised her head, her gaze looking towards the outside of the Demon King's castle.

“Has it begun?”

She closed the book in her hand, a smile on her lips.

“What kind of situation will arise between a carefully cultivated failure and a successful product that appeared out of nowhere?

“This is a question that only the Lord's omniscient and omnipotent knowledge can answer.

“I'm really curious about the final result.”
