"Sword of Light: Extermination!" Juan exclaimed loudly and unleashed his Paladin-class abilities.
He lunged toward the Demon King, executing a powerful slash.
"Boom!"
The incredibly potent strike from a level 500 player was no trivial matter, and it caused significant devastation.
Unfortunately, the adversary before him was extraordinarily resilient.
The Demon King seemed to effortlessly parry Juan's attack with a casual swing of his blood-red sword.
"What?" Juan stared in shock and hastily retreated.
However, the Demon King's movements were swifter, and suddenly, his figure materialized behind Juan with a swift slash of his crimson sword.
"Not good!" Juan attempted to turn around to evade the attack, but it was too late.
"Boom!"
An enormous explosion resounded, and suddenly, a protective wall of light formed behind Juan, blocking the Demon King's assault.
Seizing the opportunity, Juan swiftly maneuvered and flew back to rejoin the other nine guild leaders.
"Thank you, Leona, for your magic." Juan breathed a sigh of relief and expressed gratitude for the protective spell she had conjured.
"You're welcome, but creating that defense drained nearly ten percent of my mana reserves," Leona frowned.
Juan's eyes widened in disbelief upon hearing this.
"Unbelievable..." He tightened his grip on the hilt of his greatsword.
With determination, he fixed his gaze on the still-indifferent demon king.
"Display the opponent's status," Juan whispered, and the Demon King's status materialized before him.
---------------------

Race: Demon Ancestor
Level: 700
Weapon: Sword of Darkness (World Class/Divine Class)
Status: Active
Health Point (HP): 998.000/1.000.000
---------------------
Instantly, Juan's body trembled violently, and he froze.
"Level 700?" His exclamation reached the ears of the other nine leaders, prompting them to hastily check the Demon King's status, causing them to take a few steps back.
"This is insane! How can we defeat him?" A man with a bow across his back exclaimed loudly.
This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.
He was the leader of the Armagedon Guild, known for its formidable archers.
A heavy silence descended upon the group as they exchanged anxious glances.
However, Juan's expression gradually regained composure.
"Please, all of you, do not be alarmed." Juan reassured the others with a calm gaze.
"Indeed, this Demon King is extraordinarily powerful, possibly the most formidable foe in the entire Initium game world. However, we must remember that game developers don't create events that are impossible to conquer. So, let's maintain our confidence and tackle this challenge together." Juan's voice carried an air of majesty and confidence, restoring the trust of all the guild leaders.
"Exactly! We're the strongest players in this entire game! Let's show it!" Leona, who had been silent until now, exclaimed with excitement, setting off a chorus of agreement from the other eight leaders.
Seeing their determined expressions, Juan smiled and shifted his gaze to the Demon King.
"Alright, let's unleash our full power and explore new worlds on the game map!" Juan drew his sword once more and charged toward the Demon King.
"Attack!" The other nine guild leaders swiftly joined Juan, and a fierce battle erupted.
...
Events in the Initium game consistently capture the attention of players worldwide, prompting numerous live broadcasts whenever something noteworthy occurs in the game.
The grandest battle event in the game world was no exception.
Live streams abounded, offering viewers to watch the unfolding battle for those unable to participate due to their limited levels in the Initium game.
"What an incredible battle! I can hardly wait for tomorrow when the new world map opens!" exclaimed one enthusiastic viewer watching the live broadcast.
This sentiment was shared by many, as players eagerly awaited the opportunity to explore the new world map that the developers had prepared following the conclusion of the Demon King event.
"Look! The event has finally reached its climax!" someone excitedly typed in the live broadcast chat, instantly capturing the attention of everyone tuned in.
"They're so close after two hours of relentless fighting!" People enthusiastically commented in the chat section, causing all viewers to focus intently on the live broadcast and eagerly await the outcome.
...
Amidst the battle, the atmosphere was sheer chaos.
Countless corpses of the Demon King's army littered the ground, and a significant number of players met their demise, prompting them to log out of the game in an instant.
Out of the thousands who had initially joined the fray, only five hundred players remained, a stark testament to the battle's ferocity.
"Everyone! We've finally managed to wipe out the Demon King's army!" exclaimed a jubilant swordsman, igniting a wave of excitement among the remaining players.
"Hahaha! We did it!"
"Wow! I've gained enough experience points to level up twice!"
Undoubtedly, this battle was a thrilling event, not only because of the rewards obtained from each vanquished Demon King troop but also because of the readily available experience points, bringing joy to many.
"We've succeeded, and now our hopes rest solely on the ten strongest guild leaders. Let's pray they can defeat the Demon King!" The swordsman said wearily, collapsing to the ground while keeping a watchful eye on the intense battle unfolding high above the sky.
The level of this battle was beyond their capabilities, leading them to evade danger early on, lest they meet their demise and be forcibly logged out due to depleted health points.
Meanwhile, the ten guild leaders were severely injured, their labored breaths revealing the intensity of the battle they had taken on.
Their average health points had plummeted to a critical level, and their once-abundant supplies of health potions and mana had been entirely depleted.
The Demon King was faring no better.
Confronted by ten guild leaders who had reached level 500, he appeared overwhelmed, his face bearing a pallid expression.
"Open the Demon King's status," Juan whispered breathlessly.

A smile crept onto Juan's lips, replacing the sense of loss that had accompanied the cash items of high-level potions with a surge of happiness.
"Everyone! Let's launch the final attack. This will cement our legend as the ones who defeated the Demon King," Juan proclaimed, raising his battered great sword.
"Charge!" Just as he was about to deliver the final blow alongside the other nine guild leaders, a surprise and sneak attack from an unknown direction struck the defenseless Demon King in the form of a black fire arrow.
"Whoosh!"
