Chapter 38-38-Elemental Flower
Using the remaining magic power in her body to activate the "regeneration pump" to avoid infection by the distortion factor, Yvette brushed off the dust on her shoulders and walked out of the shallow pit.
She was not at all surprised by the six-armed demon's backstab. In fact, both sides knew very well that each other was on the other's kill list.
After stifling the evolution of the Woodlice Queen, she would definitely find a way to kill the six-armed demon, because she would never allow another fourth-stage aberration to be born. In turn, the six-armed demon would also look for an opportunity to kill her, because it also knew that this astonishingly powerful silver-haired girl would never allow another similar threat to be born.
The cooperation between the two parties had no basis of trust from the beginning to the end. The reason why they did not expose each other and cooperated hypocritically was that, in addition to having the same purpose, they also had their own ulterior motives and hoped to gain trust to a certain extent - although they did not succeed.
"The Woodlice Queen is not trying to advance to the fourth stage, but is recuperating from her injuries, right?" After a moment's silence, Yvette suddenly asked.
“Ha…hahahahahahahaha——!” After a brief silence, the six-armed demon let out an uncontrollable laugh that was a mixture of ecstasy and pride.
As if it had finally received the long-awaited line, it said: "Foolish human, did you find out? But it's too late!"
"That's right. There was no such thing as a Lord from the beginning. I just made that up! There has never been a fourth-stage deformed creature on the island. How would I know what a Lord is?"
"I just want to play a trick on you. I want you and the largest nest here to consume each other's strength so that I can take advantage of the opportunity!"
"What pathetic creatures you are! You have no way of verifying the truth of this matter. Regardless of whether it is true or false, you must delve into the forest of corruption to find out the truth and become my pawns."
"So, I wasn't lying when I said I was the most intelligent and perfect creature, right?"
Yvette looked at it quietly, not showing any anger, shame or regret at the other party's words.
Earlier in the battle, when the six-armed demon was paddling without any effort and without exerting any effort, she had already had a premonition, and she had almost guessed it.
However, on the one hand, the opponent's acting skills are good, and he seems like a loser who is good at flexibility, not good at frontal combat, and not that dangerous; on the other hand, as the opponent said, she cannot feel at ease unless she sees the situation of the mother nest with her own eyes.
Under the influence of this anxiety, she gave it more tolerance and also added a lot of unnecessary magic consumption.
This is essentially a conspiracy created by taking advantage of information asymmetry, but even if you know it is a trap, you have to step into it.
After thinking for a moment, she asked again, "Is this your special ability?"
She'd been wondering before, since all three stages of aberration possessed magic, there must be a way to use it. She'd assumed the six-armed demon's speed came from consuming magic, but then she felt that even then, the demon wasn't particularly powerful; at best, it was able to hide and escape.
Now it seems that it is not the case. Its real special ability should be its current six-arm, six-winged combat form. In terms of the aura of strength it exudes, it is completely beyond the reach of any previous third-order deformer.
"Very sharp," the six-armed demon chuckled, stretching his body before picking up the alloy war blade from the ground and grasping it. However, after swinging it once, he threw it away again. It had so many arms that using the long sword would easily injure itself, and he didn't want Yvette to get hold of it, which would cause further complications.
"On the entire island, you are the only one worthy enough to witness me in my prime. Be proud, human mage! Be proud, human mage! I am only one step away from my fourth evolution! Even if I die, I should feel honored to die at the hands of the strongest, most highly evolved, and perfect creature on this island!"
After saying that, it transformed into a blurry phantom, slightly circled in an arc, and slashed towards Yvette.
Yvette's pupils shrank slightly, and she subconsciously summoned a blue and white rune ring from her side. An electric snake sprang out of it, but failed to hit the target, and only exploded a scorched earth on the ground.
After dodging three electric shocks, the six-armed demon finally seized the opportunity and advanced. Its claws and bone blades slashed at the silver-haired girl's neck and waist respectively.
Enveloped by the cyan gust of wind, Yvette leaned back to avoid it, shredding a strand of her silver hair. Then, rune rings appeared in her palms, and flames emanated from them, temporarily forcing the six-armed demon back.
The light faded away, and the two figures suddenly came together and then separated.
Although Yvette was not injured in this initial test, she almost had a close call with death. If she had not been careful, her neck might have been cut off.
The six-armed demon was hit by the high temperature and although he retreated immediately, the corners of his mouth still slowly turned down, looking a little gloomy.
It found that its advantage didn't seem that great, especially since even after entering its peak state, the silver-haired girl's technique could still break its defense. This was truly a devastating thing, because before opening its peak state, its defense would be broken, and after opening it, it would still be broken. Wouldn't this peak state be for nothing?
Of course, it's not that bad. At least compared to before, after activating its peak form, it can also break through the silver-haired girl's defensive magic, so it is not completely useless.
So, the battle became a duel between two squishy characters, one was a squishy mage, and the other was a squishy assassin. Both sides had to be careful not to be touched by the other side, and also look for opportunities to hurt the opponent. Each of them was dancing on the edge of a knife.
A few seconds later, the six-armed demon attacked again, circling around Yvette like a shadow, suddenly moving closer from time to time, launching an attack and running away as soon as it touched her.
Yvette was surrounded by rune rings of ice, fire, wind, and lightning, like loyal guards, constantly pointing in four directions. If an attack came from any direction, she could intercept it at the fastest speed and buy time for her extreme dodge.
This exchange of blows continued for several minutes. When they separated again, Yvette was stumbling, her breathing rapid, and her pure white dress torn in several places, revealing the lining. On her forearm and shoulder, a narrow wound appeared, each oozing blood.
The crimson soaked through the fabric of her clothes, and the distortion factor spread crazily under her skin... The overlapping conditions made her breath appear weaker than ever before.
The six-armed demon wasn't in a good condition either. Large areas of its scales were melted and scorched, and two wings on its back were missing, greatly affecting its ability to fly.
However, the corners of its mouth rose with increasing joy, with a hint of pride and cruelty.
Yes, it has discovered that the magic power of this wizard is close to the limit. Her breath is like a candle in the wind, and the spells she casts are no longer as strong as before!
Although for some reason, she has not been infected by the distortion factor yet, it doesn’t matter. The next wave of attacks will be her death!
Its heart was burning with passion, and it flew up again, its membranous wings vibrating wildly, increasing its speed to the extreme, turning into a swooping black rainbow, launching a deadly attack.
But at the same time, it was extremely vigilant, ready to retreat at the first sign of trouble. After all, it still had a second, third, and fourth chance to attack, but the opposing mage certainly didn't have many cards left.
"Go to hell!" In an instant, the devil's wild laughter and the piercing light of a knife came almost at the same time.
Yvette still chose to dodge, her slender and weak figure like a lamb struggling desperately in the mouth of a wolf.
But this time, she didn't immediately distance herself like before.
On the contrary, she turned sideways, and with her white jade-like palm, she seized the opportunity and firmly grasped the six-armed demon's bone blade. No matter how painful the wound on her hand was, she did not let go.
Then, densely packed and overlapping rune rings appeared around the six-armed demon in such a close distance.
The six-armed demon's expression changed instantly. Although he had expected the other party to hold back, this hold back was too big.
It immediately used the bone blade on its other side to stab the girl's heart, trying to force her to retreat, but strangely, as the bone blade fell, the magic defense that could have been shattered just now, at this moment, suddenly emitted a red glow and became as hard as iron and stone, directly bouncing its attack away!
Break defense?
Can’t break...the defense?
Why can't I break through the defense? It was fine just now?
It was stunned, and then it saw the silver-haired girl's beautiful, lifeless face, with her mouth slowly curling upwards, revealing a tiny arc that was complacent, contemptuous, and full of malice.
"You... lied to me..." When death was imminent, the six-armed demon suddenly realized.
All that broken defense, all that weakness, it was all an illusion! From the first wave of sneak attacks, every time it shattered the opponent's defense, it was all intentional on the part of the silver-haired girl, just to create an illusion, an illusion that it had a chance to kill her!
Only under this illusion, it will not escape, but will actively give the opponent a chance, allowing Yvette to restrict it, the king of speed that is almost impossible to catch, at close range!
In order to set this trap, she was even willing to take the risk of being cut, infected by the distortion factor, or even accidentally dying!
But... it's too late to save his life by cutting off his arm now.
In an instant, in belated despair, brilliant magic particles gathered together and exploded like a supernova.
In the last second before his consciousness faded, the six-armed demon saw a huge elemental flower with gorgeous colors blooming under the blue sky.
