Background Introduction: Jamil was once a supreme member of the Light God Clan, the angel most likely to inherit the legacy of the Light God King. However, he fell to the demon race after questioning the Light God King's ideals. His strength is comparable to that of any god or demon.
"J-Jamil?"
Upon seeing the information in front of them and glancing at the amiable-looking middle-aged man, everyone was taken aback.
They didn't expect that Riser would be so reckless as to sacrifice himself to summon the final BOSS directly.
"Indeed! It is I!"
Jamil nodded and said, "Why do you mortals disturb my peace?"
I must say, Jamil's attitude is much better than Reis's. That bastard always referred to humans as "humble" with disdain, which was infuriating, while Jamil's tone was exceptionally gentle, making one feel quite comfortable.
"Uh…"
Jamil's question left everyone unsure of how to respond.
You don't hit a smiling face, though everyone knew Jamil was their mission target, they hesitated given his demeanor.
It wasn't just that Jamil spoke more pleasantly than Reis; mainly, BOSSes who speak calmly with players often have a quest. If Jamil were a quest NPC, wouldn't it be reckless to attack him right away?
Of course, the group was savvy, but Wang Yu, a novice at the game, was more straightforward. Hearing Jamil's inquiry, he bluntly stated, "We are here to kill you."
"Oh? To kill me?"
Jamil was not angry upon hearing Wang Yu's words. He continued to speak gently, "Can you give me a reason?"
"A reason…"
Jamil's casually spoken question left Wang Yu momentarily speechless.
To be honest, Wang Yu had no real reason for wanting to kill Jamil. "For the sake of all living beings, for humanity?" Such reasons seemed too grandiose and insincere even to Wang Yu himself; ultimately, he was just there to complete a quest.
"You're a monster, we're players; do we need a reason to kill you?"
After pondering for a moment, Wang Yu threw out a simple and blunt response.
"Ha ha!"
To Wang Yu's surprise, Jamil laughed dismissively at his answer: "What enmity exists between monsters and players? We are all beings of this world. You humans worship those self-important gods; why can't you coexist peacefully with us demons? Is there really any fundamental difference between gods and demons? Your righteous gods of the Light faction become evil demons in our Dark faction, don't they?"
Jamil's speech was reasoned and passionate, his words resonating like a mighty bell, leaving everyone deep in thought.
Who would have thought that even BOSSes from the Dark faction would have such a philosophical air? Wang Yu remembered discussing this very issue with the First Apostle, Irande, when he first arrived in Dark City.
Indeed, Hermit had also told Wang Yu that whether gods or demons, they were essentially the same, and there was no distinction; it was merely a matter of differing ideologies. Why must there be hostility against demons?
"Yes…"
Breaking the silence, Dawn's First Ray spoke with an expressionless face: "Wasn't Jamil a god once?"
"Right, if we set aside the so-called struggle between light and dark, wouldn't this world be at peace?" Young Master Beijing murmured.
"Indeed!" Jamil said, a glint of cunning flashing in his eyes. He calmly stated, "Children, you are not wrong. The fault lies with those who instilled misguided thoughts in you. As long as you lay down your weapons, the great Dark King will forgive your past actions."
"Uh… uh…"
Dawn's First Ray and Young Master Beijing nodded, casually tossing their crosses and staffs to the ground.
Even the members of the Quan Zhen faction, feeling somewhat dazed, dropped their weapons as well.
Watching the crowd put down their weapons, Wang Yu was completely bewildered…
What the hell is going on? Is everyone going to put down their weapons and become enlightened?
"And you, child, why not hand me your bow and arrows, allowing me to end this evil?" At that moment, Jamil turned his gaze toward Wang Yu.
"Give it to you? Are you dreaming?"
Upon hearing Jamil's request, Wang Yu was not only unmoved but felt a bit amused. What kind of nonsense is this BOSS talking? Does he really think a few words can brainwash him?
"???"
Seeing that Wang Yu not only didn't drop his weapon but also retorted, Jamil was somewhat taken aback: "What did you just say to me?"
"He said you're dreaming!"
Before Wang Yu could respond, Fearless picked up the staff from the ground and said, "Thankfully, I instinctively cast a holy light on myself when I saw your attributes earlier; otherwise, I might have been swayed by you."
"Swindling?" Wang Yu stroked his chin and asked, "Is he trying to seduce me?"
"Don't you feel anything at all?" Fearless stared in disbelief at Wang Yu's bewildered expression.
Seduction is one of the skills the demon race excels at, and as the Lord of Demon Souls, Jamil naturally masters this skill. Among all professions, priests and paladins have the strongest immunity to seduction skills, yet even so, Dawn's First Ray and his companion were directly affected, while Fearless managed to resist Jamil's influence thanks to the holy light.
However, Wang Yu was neither a paladin nor a priest, and he didn't even know any holy magic, yet he easily resisted Jamil's seduction without feeling a thing, which was quite puzzling.
Not only Fearless, but even Jamil was astonished.
Jamil had been summoned by Riser sacrificing his life. He had clearly seen Wang Yu instantaneously kill Kain and knew that the bow and arrows in Wang Yu's hands were crucial for defeating him. Thus, as soon as he awakened, Jamil attempted to seduce Wang Yu.
But while Jamil's accomplices were swayed, Wang Yu, the primary target, felt nothing, leaving Jamil utterly flabbergasted.
"This trick won't work on me."
Wang Yu smiled and said, "I am a true God Slayer. For you ordinary beings, gods and demons are the upper echelon, but to us, they are merely prey. Their power and seduction are entirely ineffective against me."
"God Slayer…"
Upon hearing this, Jamil's expression suddenly tightened: "Ordinary God Slayers cannot immunize themselves against my seduction. Which god did you slay that allows you to resist my mental attacks? Could it be…"
At this point, a hint of fear flashed in Jamil's eyes.
"Exactly!" Wang Yu affirmed: "I killed Luke."
