With the first success under their belts, the battles that followed, though difficult, no longer seemed like insurmountable obstacles to the players.
The mindset is truly a curious thing. Once you know something is achievable, no matter how hard, you have a foundation of confidence. The doubt during the first battle with the Original Demon Lord, the feeling of "Can this thing really be defeated?" vanished the moment the first victory was achieved.
Moreover, the loot from the Original Demon Lord significantly bolstered the players' team strength.
Those innate treasures, Holy Artifacts, and Immortal Artifacts, all once rare, top-tier equipment, were now concentrated on the over forty Daluo Golden Immortals, each armed to the teeth.
Both in strength and mindset, everything was completely different.
Thus, even though the subsequent demon lord battles were tough, they never stalled the players for too long.
