I am the emperor of Mengwang

Endless dust was stirred up, and in an instant the entire BOSS room on the 90th floor was covered in dust.

At this moment, all the paladins couldn't help but turn their eyes to the center of the battlefield. They were already eager to know who won the battle.

The dust slowly dispersed, and still standing there was a young man wearing a terrifying Nuo mask and holding a dark green spear. Lord Hinata, the leader of the Paladin who they had high hopes for, was now kneeling on one knee and gasping for breath.

The result is obvious,...Xiao wins!

The paladins who were watching this scene felt dizzy. They couldn't believe that the leader of the Paladins of the Holy Empire, who was the 'strongest human' and 'God's Right Seat', had actually been defeated!

Still, he was defeated by an "immortal" from the Demon Kingdom.

They could accept that Hinata Sakaguchi was defeated by the Demon King Rimuru. After all, there had never been an example of humans defeating a demon king in human history, so they were happy to accept it.

They could accept Hinata Sakaguchi's defeat to the 'God of War' Morax. After all, everyone in this world knew that the 'God of War' Morax, one of the 'Nine Heavens Ruler' demon kings, was the 'strongest demon king' today.

They found it strange that Hinata Sakaguchi did not lose to Morax.

But they really couldn't accept that Hinata Sakaguchi was defeated by Xiao.

If this is the case, then doesn't it mean that there are at least a handful of people in the Demonic Federation who are willing to defeat Lord Hyuga?

This... is so suffocating!

"……I lost."

At this time, Hinata Sakaguchi supported his body with the sword in his hand and said weakly to Xiao who was standing opposite him.

"……Um."

"You should leave now."

Xiao replied calmly. Xiao used almost all his strength in that final attack, and even used his last trump card. So although Hinata Sakaguchi was strong, he had no chance of winning in front of Xiao, who had been "cultivated" by Mo Li countless times, given a lot of "special treatments", and had the trump card bestowed by the "Emperor".

"Yeah. It's really time to exit."

Listening to Xiao's indifferent words, Sakaguchi Hinata nodded, then looked at the hand covering her abdomen, only to see that there was a penetrating wound on Sakaguchi Hinata's abdomen, but because it was a large underground maze, she did not care too much.

After all, with the bracelet, she can be resurrected outside the underground maze.

As Sakaguchi Hinata finished speaking, his body turned directly into white energy and dissipated into the BOSS room on the ninetieth floor of the maze.

This was Hinata Sakaguchi's first expedition into the labyrinth.

Stop, ninetieth floor.

Xiao looked at Sakaguchi Hinata who turned into energy and dissipated in front of him without saying much, but silently turned his gaze to the several paladins who were standing not far from him and were now stunned.

Why is he here? Xiao knew very well that Hinata Sakaguchi was simply caught in an unprovoked disaster.

After all, it was just her subordinates who were the ones who "spoke with their mouths".

"You guys go to hell on your own, or I'll come and see you off myself."

Xiao held his Kabuto and slowly walked forward a few steps, then spoke to the paladins in front of him in a very calm tone.

"...Uh, I'd better go on my own. I won't bother you, Great Sage."

A certain paladin replied to Xiao with a trembling belly, then picked up the sword in his hand and slashed it at his neck. Then, this paladin turned into energy and disappeared on the 90th floor just like Hinata Sakaguchi before.

"Yes, yes, yes, Great Sage, please take a rest, and we won't dirty your hands."

"Yes, Great Sage, goodbye."

"Damn it, you ran so fast and didn't even wait for me."

Seeing that someone had set an example, the other paladins no longer hesitated. They simply drew the swords at their waists and slashed at their necks.

Afterwards, the team of paladins that followed Hinata Sakaguchi to the 90th floor also stopped at this floor.

Looking at all the paladins who had disappeared, Xiao could no longer hold on and walked step by step towards an open space not far away.

After arriving at a relatively wide open space, Xiao sat down on the ground as if he had fallen down.

Xiao slowly took off the horrible Nuo mask on his face. His handsome face was pale at this time, and the weakness on his face was so obvious that it was difficult to conceal.

Before the battle with Hinata Sakaguchi, Xiao had already fought a fierce battle. Although the impact was not great, it did make him no longer in his previous peak state. Afterwards, he had another battle with the "saint" Hinata Sakaguchi.

In addition, in order to defeat Hinata Sakaguchi, he used his trump card, and Xiao's body had reached the limit of what he could bear.

But even so, Xiao did not have the slightest fear. Even if those paladins did not commit suicide, Xiao would be determined to kill them completely at the cost of his own life.

After all, he couldn't bring shame to the Emperor.

It’s okay to lose his life, but it’s not okay to lose the emperor’s face...!

And at this point, the so-called battle video has been played to its end.

Rimuru, who had watched the video from beginning to end, was shocked and unbelievable.

"Xiao" actually defeated Hinata Sakaguchi and those paladins by his own strength.

How could Rimuru not be shocked? You know, the current 'Xiao' has not yet awakened from a 'demon king' to a 'true' demon king!

He actually defeated Sakaguchi Hinata, who was at the saint level, with just the 'Demon King'. This, this, this..., it doesn't make sense!

If you think about it carefully, when she was still in the 'Demon King' realm, she was beaten up by Sakaguchi Hinata with a sword? !

Now Xiao has actually defeated Sakaguchi Hinata at the Demon King level. Doesn't this mean... Xiao is stronger than her at the Demon King level!

This... I'm a little bit envious!

But when Rimuru thought back to Xiao's reckless daily training, the frequency of him seeking help from his own Ali to improve his strength, as well as his efficiency in carrying out tasks and his loyalty to his own Ali.

Thinking about Xiao's past achievements again, Rimuru suddenly stopped envying him.

Rimuru suddenly felt that Xiao deserved to be so strong, or it would be unreasonable if Xiao was not strong!

How could there be such a hard-working and diligent monster?

In terms of hard work and pursuit of strength, there is hardly any monster in the entire Demon Federation that can compare to "Xiao".

Oh, forget it, I don’t want to think about these things anymore. Let me think about how to solve the current troubles first!

Thinking of this, Rimuru couldn't help but feel distressed again.

Because of Hinata Sakaguchi's breakthrough, the back floors of the underground maze have almost collapsed by half. Although 'Xiao' stopped it in time, the floors between the 50th to the 90th floors have completely collapsed.

Zegion and Apito, the floor masters of the back floors, were unable to fully recover in a short period of time. What should they do?

Then, Rimuru, Ramiris, Veldora and the others started a heated discussion.

After rejecting one proposal after another, they finally came up with a good solution to the problem.

They are prepared to personally take action, which is the so-called official action. In simple terms, they are prepared to:

"Open a small account!"
