Chapter 1648: Bubbles
The tower shone with sword glints, dazzling magic flickered in the fog, transforming into sparkling dots.
The battle between the Demon King and Hero was aimed precisely at critical points.
In a breath, the Demon King and Hero clashed several times.
A powerful hurricane whipped up layers of fog, rolling out bubbles.
These bubbles were deliberately created by Lux, the center unaffected by the fog.
Lux concealed himself within them.
As long as the Demon King made a close attack, Lux would be able to notice promptly and react.
Having suffered losses a few times, the Demon King learned to use the sharp magic sword, piercing bubbles in the fog one by one, driving the fog into the bubbles to showcase the skills of the Deceit Fog Clan.
The battle between Lux and the Deceitful Emperor was not merely forceful but a psychological and detailed multifaceted contest.
When an opponent’s flaw appears, whether to target it for a powerful attack is quite a test of their courage.
A misstep could lead to falling into the enemy’s trap.
The only relief was that no one interfered in their fight; it was a straightforward one-on-one duel.
Before the Hero’s arrival, the Deceitful Emperor had ordered all units to keep unrelated personnel away from the center to avoid accidental injury.
And for Lux, facing the Demon King alone held significant meaning.
Only by fully showcasing his power to the Demon King and proving his ability to become the Demon King would the Demon King willingly and regretlessly pass the Devil King’s Power to him.
If no one interrupts, no matter how long the battle lasts, Lux can accept...
But if someone intervenes insensitively, Lux would not be polite.
The Holy Sword flashed with light, as Lux grasped a flaw in the Demon King, red-gold light once again entwined his sword blade, striking golden sparks on the Demon King’s black armor, the Holy Light unhesitatingly pierced the black armor, inflicting substantial damage on the Demon King’s core.
Under the skill of the Holy Sword, the Deceitful Emperor’s armor seemed to be ineffective.
Moreover, as long as Lux wielded the Holy Sword, regardless of the type of attack or skill hit, it could inflict true damage equal to one percent of the maximum life value plus ten percent of the current damage on the enemy.
Theoretically, even without attack power, as long as he held the Holy Sword, hitting the Demon King a hundred times without healing could still knock him down.
Of course, the Demon King was aware of this.
With a swing of the magic sword, the Demon King, taking advantage of the Hero’s hit, thrust his sword towards the Hero’s head.
Lux tilted his head slightly to the left, the sharp sword blade grazed past his cheek, the blood red flowed into the thick white fog without causing any ripples.
A chilling estate rushed in, and the magic sword that brushed past Lux formed thousands of ice cones behind him.
Thousands of ice cones exploded with a roar, shooting out countless tiny ice crystals.
Lux’s body gleamed with golden light again, a sturdy shield enveloping him layers upon layers, completely blocking the incoming tiny ice crystals.
Little did one expect, these tiny ice crystals were not aimed at Lux.
The tiny ice crystals punctured bubble after bubble created by Hero Lux, every bit of Lux’s prior magic effort nullified.
Without any change in expression, Lux continued to methodically create new bubbles, isolating the fog, launching another fierce attack.
Thick fog defied typical magic fluctuation penetration.
Even Lux’s excellent magic perception only sensed extremely faint magic fluctuations beneath the tower.
Beyond the isle, magic fluctuation was undetectable.
Yet this was merely temporary...
Lutrola Doron knew neither the Demon King nor Lux had unleashed their full power, the combat merely began with simple probing.
If the Demon King amassed enough magic power on the isle, he might unleash magic to destroy the entire Demon King City.
Here was their stronghold, even away from the Gate of Darkness, the Demon King wouldn’t easily wield magic of such breadth.
...of course, it shouldn’t even reach a point where he’d need to use that magic. Chances are the victory will be decided before then.
Lutrola Doron smiled, as soon as Hero Lux defeated the Demon King, she would embrace her final transformation.
Once Goblin Emperor, she remembered the day Lux found him.
Lutrola Doron thought long and hard before agreeing to Lux’s plan.
If following the original path would lead to being vanquished by some Hero or dying over time, it was better to try trusting Lux’s sincerity once.
Lutrola Doron couldn’t forget that moment she awakened.
Lux fulfilled his promise, Lutrola Doron never doubted Lux thereafter.
Even if discord followed, surely it would be after the Hero defeated the Demon King and she completed her final transformation.
Beside Lutrola Doron, a red-skinned, braded young girl was eager, unable to hold back the desire to test her true strength:
"Mother, ever since just now, I feel some people have been watching us.
Look, should we handle it a bit?"
An antenna-haired, slightly scaled-footed girl said, "They aren’t strong at all.
Just ordinary troops, not even officers.
However...
being watched like this is uncomfortable, I dislike being watched like that."
While speaking, her antenna hairs danced, releasing pink telekinesis, instantly turning nearby Demon Soldiers into blood mist.
The red-skinned Duosi Doron clicked displeased, "Weak they may be, but just right for warming up. I know you’re very capable, Blala! But no need to show off your superior skills from the start."
"It’s Sister Blala." The antenna-haired girl manifested Dragon Eyes, sternly reminding.
Duosi Doron gazed unhappily at Blala Doren, eyes indicating, just a few months older than me and you’re getting carried away; I don’t call you big sister.
Blala Doren glared back unyieldingly, without rules, nothing’s accomplished, I’m older and stronger, you should call me sister.
Witnessing this scene, Lutrola Doron chuckled.
Her daughters’ quarrels, unexpectedly amusing, unlike when she was Goblin Emperor, lifeless, rarely diverse in personality.
Each fought for survival, battling relentlessly without regard for life.
Such a scene grows weary after days, unlike now, never tiring to watch.
Indeed, having them is truly great.
