Wang Xiaole focused his gaze, pondering over something. The more he thought, the angrier the Demon became, and he immediately lowered his head, causing his sharp horn to shoot out; little did he know, the other side was actually waiting for this moment.
Boom!
The two strong forces caused a turmoil in the surroundings. Wang Xiaole used the chopstick in his hand as a defense, extending it forward to block the horn.
Magic and divine power surged into the sky, fiercely colliding and roaring at each other, creating a torrential flood that spread in all direction, rippling like waves.
This strike was indeed domineering. If it was directed at any other human, they would have been pierced through in an instant. But to his frustration, Wang Xiaole, with a pair of random chopsticks, was able to block the horn from the front. The power attached to the chopsticks was unfathomable, turning ordinary dining utensils into the most formidable weapons. The clash seemed fierce, but in reality, one side didn't even exert half of their power, and the result had already been determined before the battle began.
With a flick upwards of the chopsticks in Wang Xiaole's hand, the trapped horn was forced to retreat. Turning the tables, the target locked in became the Demon himself.
"Hmph...I understand now!" The anger did not necessarily elevate his wisdom, but a sudden revelation flashed through the Demon's mind, forcibly explaining it as a coincidence. "I understand now. You didn't resist because you were waiting for me to attack with my horn, as if waiting for me to fall into my own trap...why?"
"You injured Xiyue with your horn, so I must let you taste that kind of pain...tenfold!" As soon as the words fell, the horn pierced through the Demon's abdomen, creating a bloody hole. He didn't die, but the excruciating pain made him wish he did.
He suddenly remembered that Wang Xiaole had exhibited various unreasonable behaviors before, such as dealing with the Giant Demon by kicking its massive body until it turned into a bloody mess. When facing him, Wang Xiaole adhered to the principle of counterattacking with the horn.
Until that very moment, Wang Xiaole took the initiative and began to fight back with other props. The "young girl" in front of him was simply venting her anger!
In the midst of pain, the Demon, while still guessing the relationship between Wang Xiaole and Lucia, felt that at least from appearances, the relationship between the two seemed like that of lovers (at least a lesbian couple). However, from Wang Xiaole's words, "she" did not seem to have a particularly close feeling towards Lucia, and there was no sense of distance either. The tone of Lucia, the Demon King, gave the impression of someone in the honeymoon period, and Isabella was also entangled with similar doubts. The Empress undoubtedly felt curious about the current state of the Demon King falling in love with a human, even if it was just a fiery unrequited love, it was filled with enough mystery.
Wang Xiaole appeared calm on the surface, but his actions expressed his endless anger. The Demon vaguely understood the reason behind the deaths of the two brothers; they must have died due to the other's protective feelings. Has he not realized that his own cause of death will be the same? No justifiable reason for forgiveness and no chance of successful resistance.
A wave of impact hit, and the Demon was shocked. Unable to resist the force, he had to retreat several steps. Infuriated, he unleashed a powerful and dazzling purple light, wielding his sword vigorously, attacking Wang Xiaole in a series of continuous strikes.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
Sparks flew, and Wang Xiaole, who was estimated to be only at the "Hundred Battles" level in terms of strength, surpassed the "Enchantress" level. And the true level of power beyond that, Lucia and Isabella couldn't see through it, after all, it exceeded their estimated limit. It seemed that the limit of Wang Xiaole's strength still didn't have a definite endpoint.
In this indisputable situation, the Demon struggled with all his might each time but always felt powerless. He seized an opportunity, leaping through the air, aggressively swinging his sword and violently attacking.
"I'm not afraid of you. Even if you try to intimidate me by showing your teeth, I'm not afraid."Using utensils as swords, Wang Xiaole extended his chopsticks and swung them horizontally towards the demon's blade;
The amplified power was beyond imagination, and each collision exerted extraordinary force.
The bamboo chopsticks struck with a flurry of shadows, relentlessly attacking the demon;
The latter was completely defenseless, and with every panicked step backward, he would accidentally gain a few more injuries.
Who would have imagined that these wounds were caused by the bladeless bamboo chopsticks?
"That guy is completely restrained. What Wang Xiaole is using is not holy power, but the power that only gods and angels can control!?"
Lucia had seen much more than the group of demons in the Elder Council;
She could easily see the true nature of Wang Xiaole's power;
It should be said that if she hadn't been infatuated before, she would not have noticed until now.
"I won't lie in front of Xiyah, your guess is correct, I am using divine power."
Wang Xiaole admitted without hesitation, while Isabella, deepening her suspicions, took pleasure in seeing the demon hit a snag:
"A demon recently said something, right? 'Human holy power is naturally restrained by demon power, and the result can be known without a fight.'
That statement is true, but how do I remember that divine power is what restrains demon power?"
"Your Majesty!"
Ignoring the small matter of dignity in this situation, the demon's desperate scream caught the attention of the queen, who pleaded with a tearful tone:
"Although I am a demon, I have contributed to this country for a hundred years. Even if the other person is of human origin, they are nothing more than a traitor standing on the Demon King's side, Your Majesty!"
"Don't let the ruler repeat: I will not help either side in this battle. You don't have to waste your efforts seeking help. The fact that we each understand without speaking is----"
Isabella raised the flag in her hand, pointing diagonally towards the demon, speaking openly in front of him, with a domineering and disdainful attitude:
"Isn't everyone hoping for the other to die as soon as possible? Fortunately, I'm luckier than you, and can give you a cold look."
"You despicable woman!"
Cried the demon hysterically.
"Fight with me, you don't have the luxury to be distracted!"
Wang Xiaole approached, gripping the bamboo chopsticks and making a downward motion;
With a 'crack' sound, the blood-colored armor that could block powerful magic shattered into countless pieces instantly.
The dissipating wind turned into a gusty whirlwind, pressing in all directions.
A brief, urgent breeze passed in front of the demon, and Wang Xiaole stepped out from within the whirlwind, crushing the useless chopsticks in his hand;
The bamboo chopsticks turned into powder and floated in the air, mixed with the red liquid that scattered from Wang Xiaole's back;
A figure fell to the ground with a thud, never to rise again.
The three core members of "Elder Ten", a force capable of overturning a duchy, all perished in less than five minutes;
The human who took care of them was previously unknown to anyone, truly a "nameless" person.
"Amazing!"
The queen planted the flagpole into the ground and clapped her hands;
With each strike, her pupils narrowed slightly, making her eyes appear longer.
Dibiles was an unnecessary race for the demon, especially her as the ruler, had an extra strong aversion towards demons;
She detested them but had no choice, as the influence of the Elder Council was deeply rooted in the country, and even an emperor could not easily eradicate it;
But it was different for outsiders, Wang Xiaole did not belong to any country and was not under the control of anyone;
By "her" unintentionally weakening the power of the Elder Council, it was an unexpected joy for Isabella;
And it provided a feasible path for the future plan to weaken the power of the demon race in her own country.
Isabella was very happy, although her cold and proud face did not show any expression related to "joy", the unknown joy could be considered genuine.
"You have helped me and the people of this country a lot."
Shaking hands is part of etiquette, but considering the special status of one party, Isabella did not shake hands with Wang Xiaole, and of course, the latter would not mind such trivial matters."Allow me to introduce myself: I am the ruler of this country..."
"Oh, oh, Her Majesty the Queen, right? I have some information about you in my mind."
Wang Xiaole's understanding of this world comes from Freya's knowledge of the United Continent.
After the divine power entered Wang Xiaole's body, along with it came Freya's memories, all entering his mind together.
Because of this, Wang Xiaole's understanding of certain important figures may be influenced to some extent by Freya's biases.
Here's an example:
While greeting Isabella, Wang Xiaole's mind occasionally flashes with some basic impressions about the queen in front of him, such as:
She appears aloof, but in reality, she becomes awkward and makes a fool of herself when facing human males due to nervousness.
Although she possesses various knowledge, she is completely clueless when it comes to matters of men and women; she is like an ignorant little girl.
She has not grown at all since her school days, and even padded bras cannot make her chest size reach an A cup; perhaps men have bigger chests than she does!
......
The final impression is purely Freya's showing off her superiority, right?
However, her chest is slightly smaller than Lucia's, so it's not really fitting.
Setting aside these thoughts for now, Wang Xiaole then introduces himself to the queen and Lucia naturally doesn't sit idle.
"Roar!"
Lucia gazes at her target, not hesitating to bare her teeth and emit deep protesting sounds.
She is like a female leopard in the mating season, instinctively responding with hostility towards any same-sex individuals approaching her "mate."
Regardless of her demonic identity, Lucia is still a girl before declaring herself as the Demon King.
Isabella's delicate body, wrapped in magnificent clothes, starts trembling at a certain moment.
Wang Xiaole observes and realizes that the shaking did not start suddenly after Lucia stared at her; it actually began after he approached her.
The reason for the trembling may not necessarily be fear but could also be physiological trembling.
After shaking for a while, Isabella realizes something.
She speaks of the possibility that came to her mind:
"It seems that my trembling started suddenly after you approached me! This only happened before when facing males..."
