Casting Fate, Ascending Path

The world is a vast and empty sea. The world is a tiny speck of dust in the sea.

Above the firmament, the abyss hangs high. Under the dark moon, heretics covet.

Ancient beings brave tho...

Chapter 307 Enjoying It (End)

In the empty, pure white arena, the demon and the knight faced each other. Ji Huaisu donned armor that shone like fire, while Gutaf's expression changed several times, his skin gradually turning a pale, inanimate white.

"So this is your plan..." Gutaf whispered. "It doesn't count as an amusement park in the cards, so there's no need to worry about violating the rules of Hariloa... We went through all this trouble to join the battle just so you can kill me here, right?"

Ji Huaisu smiled and nodded, and Gutafu also laughed.

"Well, very clever, you played a good game. But you seem to have missed one point..."

His body swelled like a balloon, expanding to ten meters beyond a low house, then a hundred meters beyond a skyscraper. His pale skin hardened as it expanded, and within it shone countless chaotic, firefly-like lights. These points of light suddenly pierced the demon's massive form, forming nearly a thousand sharp bone spikes shaped like lances.

It was a sea urchin, shielded by a fortress of steel, and slain its enemies with its lance and blade. Meanwhile, it continued to expand, and expand... The demon's presence pushed the space within the card beyond its limits, expanding until it could accommodate a giant the size of a city!

Ji Huaisu looked up at the terrifying body whose shape was unclear and whistled: "As expected."

The old octopus's intelligence described Entertainment as a cowardly, dreamy demon, but at this moment, its aura surpassed even that of the First Abyss, surpassing even ordinary particles. Ten giant eyes sprouted from the gaps between its bone spurs, and Entertainment's humanoid head swelled, spliced ​​atop a massive body over a hundred meters tall. His roar was like the howling of a hurricane.

"Do you think I'm just a dreamer? The power of that old man has long been devoured by me."

"——How can a mere Supreme Lu with a 3-point Seismic Point defeat me?!"

The tip of Gutaf's spike glowed with a murky light, and sharp bone spikes flew out from it, shooting furiously at the tiny knight. The world within the card was suddenly obscured by the murky light, as if a vast army were simultaneously firing, unleashing a swarm of bullets that covered the sky and the sun.

Ji Huaisu didn't draw her weapon, nor did she even move. She raised her hand toward the volley of bullets, and a flame ignited in her palm.

"combustion."

The moment the strong light came on, the world turned black.

The demon's nails were gone, leaving only scattered ashes in the air. Dots of flames floated in the air, like a crimson army guarding the knights.

This is not some special technique, just a simple calculation problem.

The total number of bone nails driven by Gutaf was 4,671.

Then, 4671 flames were shot out at the same time.

Lock the direction of all attacks, predict the trajectory, and ignite them in advance at the predetermined coordinates. The bone nails will then burn themselves out and turn into firewood for the blazing fire!

"This calculation ability... you are clearly on the path of the Supreme...!"

"You also know that I am the Supreme Path." Ji Huaisu stretched his neck. "You are playing with light elements in front of me. Do you think your death is not fast enough?"

She took a stance and launched a punch. Flames swirled in the whistling wind, transforming into arrows. 4,671 rockets whizzed out, far faster than the demon's nails and more powerful than the previous attack.

Gutaf realized he had made a mistake. He habitually used his strengths in light to compensate for his attack, but he hadn't anticipated this woman's far greater control over light. The light he used for support completely exposed his weakness, becoming a living coordinate in the opponent's eyes!

"Cursed Armament: Thousand Needles of Explosion!"

Seeing the flames approaching, Gutaf dared not delay, resolutely unleashing his true power. He immediately extinguished the radiance within his body, and over half of his spikes detached from his body, moving forward through thin threads of blood. The spiked spears crumbled upon contact with the flames, and the blood-mediated spell exploded, extinguishing the flames within a hundred-meter radius.

This "cursed weapon," crafted by Gutaf using secret techniques, is proof of his strength among demons. Its power symbolizes Gutaf himself, a vicious weapon that corrodes his enemies with flattened attacks.

While the previous bone nails could be dealt with through aptitude and ingenuity, the Thousand Needles were a single, decisive blow, delivered with overwhelming force. Those whose essence hadn't transcended the First Abyss's low-level particles could never escape the curse!

In an instant, the sky was dark, leaving only an oppressive blackness. The flames died out, and a forest of spears surged forward. The demonic force swept across the battlefield, the spears at the forefront nearly touching Ji Huaisu's nose.

A shocking roar was heard, and purple light came down with the sound, cutting the spear in half!

Gutaf felt his heart palpitate for a moment. The rumble was so intense, like the roar of the sky itself. The roar shattered the darkness, sending a thousand dancing purple lights blazing through the air.

That was thunder, thunder as thick as a giant tree!

Thousands of purple lightning bolts descended from the sky, like serpents dancing wildly in the dark clouds, tearing at the forest of spears. His proud cursed armies were in retreat. Not even the devil's curse could taint the thunder!

"Thunder and lightning... the power of the Free Wind?" Gutaf lost his voice. "You clearly haven't crossed the First Abyss—"

"I've long been sick of seeing people using thunder at such low-quality points." Ji Huaisu clenched his fists and switched to a speed-focused steel armor. "Let me tell you something good. Lightning is the embodiment of justice and kindness. It was born to break the curse!"

After leaving that hopeless land, everyone was different. Ji Huaisu had seen countless masterful elemental magics in the wilderness, and after battling the Dreadbringers, she understood their elemental skills. This included the power to manipulate thunder!

Ji Huaisu finally took a step, running forward. The moment she stepped forward, the world shifted from stillness to movement. The ground beneath her feet cracked, flinging itself behind her like a solidified wave. No one could discern the knight's flight; only purple beams pierced the battlefield, strands of lightning billowing behind them like a cloak, obliterating the Thousand Needle Spears.

Gutaf felt his breathing stagnate, and when he realized it, the knight had already rushed to the front of the giant body. The moment her fist fell, complex runes flashed with light, and the outer armor as strong as a fortress bent like a bridge!

“Ugh, wuahh ...

Gutaf screamed miserably, once again attempting to squeeze life force from the spectators outside the arena. However, the lightning formed a cage, and even if the light of life rushed in, it could not enter, and was returned to the withered crowd!

Ji Huaisu struck relentlessly, her blows like a torrential rain, dismantling the outer layer of Gutaf's fortress, destroying it, utterly annihilating it. Light from within the demon surged, carrying its humanoid head high into the sky. The portly head opened its mouth and vomited a cloud of translucent incantations. The incantations spread like sonic waves, the power he had plundered from the addicted demon.

"The poisonous sound of indulgence—"

"The voices of evil demons and heretics will not enter my ears!"

A frigid iceberg suddenly rose, firmly sealing the core of the spell. A frenzied thunder followed, shattering the sound waves that served as a medium. Seeing the situation was dire, Gutaf screamed and rushed to the other side of the sky. He was willing to sacrifice most of his body to escape this terrifying woman. However, he froze in mid-air as he took off. A translucent lightning rope tightly wrapped around his head, the other end of the rope in Ji Huaisu's hand.

A terrifying feeling of weakness came over him, and the method that shouldn't exist made Gutaf tremble: "Talisman? You...you?!"

"Fu Kai, Si Chen Wan Jun!"

The Sichen Wanjun Talisman, which bound and weakened the enemy, flashed with the same rune that had penetrated Gutaf's body during the first punch. Ji Huaisu raised her arm like a bow, gathering strength. Violent lightning wrapped around her fist, forming a giant fist of deep purple plasma.

“To receive favors but betray their rule is to be without a ruler.

To enjoy benefits while neglecting one's duties is a lack of virtue.

It is unrighteous to bully the weak by relying on one's strength!"

The sound of judgment struck down like a sledgehammer, and the mighty fist of thunder and lightning surged to three times its original power! Nine times! Twenty-seven times! The knight's eyes burned with pure rage, unfettered by rules!

Gutaf was trembling with fear, and his previous pride and arrogance were completely gone. "No, no. Spare me. Spare my life, spare me—"

"Those without loyalty, virtue, or integrity must be punished according to the law!" Ji Huaisu shouted angrily, "Holy Judgment of Discipline, concentrated thunder punishment!!"

The thunder fist fell, turning the world into a void.

The demon's cry for mercy disappeared, leaving only the solemn thunder.

·

Outside, the addicted demon fell to the ground. Chu Hengkong retracted the Kanglong Spear, and there was no blood on his clothes.

"You're not bad," he said.

"Now I can only get one accurate sentence." Chen Shi smiled bitterly, "No matter how much I said before, I was still a strong player..."

"oh."

The addicted demon covered the bloody hole in his chest and laughed miserably, "Aren't you going to ask me how my wild fantasy ended up being ranked below entertainment...?"

"If you have anything to say, go tell the Divine Guards." Chu Hengkong also smiled, "I'm a tourist."

Chenmi lowered his head and collapsed to the ground, transforming into a card that flew into Chu Hengkong's hand. At the same time, the large screen was filled with the words "Victory!" Ji Huaisu split the screen with a claw and jumped out, revealing the card that sealed Entertainment.

"The duel is over!" Fander took the opportunity to shout, "The winners are Chu Hengkong and Ji Huaisu!"

Chu Hengkong and Ji Huaisu smiled at each other and high-fived each other.

Kanin stood up and led the applause. Mr. Gray and Mr. Blue pulled out instruments from nowhere and began beating drums and gongs. However, the stunned audience stood in silence. For a moment, there were no cries or cheers. Only after a few seconds did a faint shout echo out.

"Good!" the man cheered. "Good!"

It was a large figure in a clown costume, one of the weaker demons who supported himself by working at the amusement park. As it responded, more staff members emerged from the audience: large furry puppets, acrobats on stilts, and circus members in sparkly costumes.

They didn't dare to speak out before, and could only watch quietly. They were the people who worked hard above and below the ground, providing pure happiness for the citizens.

"Great!" "Hurray!" "Bring back the joy." "The toxicity of entertainment is gone." "Get back to earth!"

Chu Hengkong nodded and shouted to the audience, "Have you seen enough? The battle with the outsiders is over! What are you doing here?"

What are we here for? The shocked crowd pondered this question, and then suddenly realized that they were in an amusement park.

Why had the simple act of enjoying pleasure led him here? To this gloomy underground area, to come into contact with something so obviously dangerous?

They shuddered at the palpable incongruity. At that moment, the Holy Guards appeared at the entrance, wielding their standard relic loudspeakers and guiding the crowd with remarkably reassuring voices. The crowd, which should have been in a state of panic, filed out and boarded the rapids-braving boats one by one.

When they returned to the ground, it was dark, but the castle was still shining, and the balloons and streamers were still floating in the air. The warm and harmless atmosphere was blown back into their weak bodies by the music.

Only then did they suddenly realize what was happening, and in the safety of the night, they smiled. But some still kept looking back, gazing underground, lingering on the dangerous yet wonderful duel that should never have happened before their eyes.
