Chapter 1568: Chapter 1568: You Cheated!
Within the gray Barrier, Yang Yu and the Demon King are engaged in an unprecedentedly intense battle.
The magical powers formed by various spells fly incessantly in the air.
Like drinking water or eating, the Deceitful Emperor effortlessly manipulates all surrounding magic, casually casting area spells that bombard Yang Yu’s location.
Yang Yu nimbly dodges, maneuvering through the magic with minimal damage, launching another fierce attack on the Demon King.
The sharp sword crashes violently against the black armor, sparking countless brilliant sparks.
The Demon King’s Blood Volume slowly decreases.
Having unleashed the second "Fury Blood", Yang Yu has reduced the Demon King’s Blood Volume to sixty percent, yet the Demon King’s every move remains uniquely composed, as if he has never been harmed.
This small detail is noticed by Yang Yu.
Numerous types of the Demon King quickly flash through Yang Yu’s mind.
In many games, the Demon King has settings for resurrection or transformation at certain Blood Volumes.
Hero Lox’s duel with the previous Demon King did not showcase extraordinary abilities, neither transformation nor resurrection.
But, that might be due to the Holy Sword used by the Hero.
Having never formally wielded the Holy Sword, Yang Yu is unsure of its true abilities.
The Holy Sword possesses the effect to suppress the Demon King, yet whether it specifically prevents the Demon King’s resurrection is still unknown.
If the Demon King truly has the ability to resurrect after death, perhaps no effort will suffice.
However, now there is no other option but to continue fighting.
Yang Yu repeatedly dodges the Demon King’s magical attacks, while the face beneath the Demon King’s black helmet grows increasingly grim.
The Demon King initially wished to effortlessly defeat Yang Yu, demonstrating his own might.
As a result, Yang Yu gives him no ground, continuously showcasing his skills, dodging the attacks without the slightest hint of compliance.
Left with no choice, the Deceitful Emperor grows increasingly serious, focusing on creating wave after wave of magic and laying trap after trap.
But each time, Yang Yu avoids the crucial traps.
Yang Yu cannot possibly remember every spell, meaning Yang Yu is relying solely on his reactions to cope!
No matter what, Yang Yu is not a Blood Lion, and his stamina ultimately has limits.
The Demon King remains unperturbed.
At least, not yet.
It’s been a long time since he last fought so earnestly.
Before the Hero’s news officially emerged, he had ample time to experiment with fighting in this world.
"I must admit, the strength you possess now is beyond most people’s reach.
I can also understand your confidence in staying here alone.
But ultimately, a person has limits.
Even inheriting the Devil King’s Power, I’m no exception.
That’s why I assembled my own army, sending them to places I cannot reach.
Here, I’m not alone."
The flickering movement halts temporarily, and Yang Yu smiles, "I thought Lord Demon King had something to say. Turns out it’s still about finding the one-on-one difficult, planning to bully with numbers."
"Bullying with numbers might be a good idea, but it’s too boring!
I’m just reminding you, even with the goddess’s blessing, you ultimately cannot defeat me, the Demon King, alone.
No one will come to your side to provide support.
Rather than struggling and dying later, why not lie down early, and maybe I’ll make your death quicker." Under the Demon King’s feet, spells quickly unfold.
The Sword Blade is painted orange again, Yang Yu accelerates his speed, launching attacks.
"Instead of a quicker death, I hope to exhaust all effort before dying."
The Demon King draws his black Sword Blade.
The collision of the two Sword Blades is intense, producing a crisp sound.
"Then don’t expect to die. I will let you taste something more painful than death."
"You let me live. Aren’t you afraid the Hero will drag me out of Hell, and then I’ll become the perfect force against you?"
"No need for you to worry, the Hero is also an opponent that must be defeated."
The spells under the Demon King’s feet cease expanding, massive Magic Electric Eels emerge from the Array, biting at Yang Yu from all sides.
Yang Yu maneuvers, dodging, as each Electric Eel crashes to the ground, sparking countless electric flashes.
The Demon King raises his Sword Blade, countless electrical flashes in the air keep merging, transforming into smaller Electric Fish, howling and biting at Yang Yu.
Yang Yu has no retreat, pulls out the Black Tachi from the System, slicing apart all the small Electric Fish.
"The weapon you use was my subordinate Ammonval’s."
"Just borrowing it, I’ll return it after this war concludes."
"Who knows if what you say is true."
Waving the Sword Blade, countless Fireballs whirl towards Yang Yu, uniting in the air to form a gigantic flaming lion.
Yang Yu doesn’t dodge, weaving through the fire lion, taking out Potions from the System.
After enduring this attack, Yang Yu’s Blood Volume drops to 10%, triggering the "Unyielding to Despair" Passive, doubling his attribute with a sudden increase in Speed.
Yang Yu once considered using the speed increased by "Unyielding to Despair" to leave the battlefield, escape the Demon King’s control, but seeing the locked Status on his body, he gave up on this thought.
Locking Status requires time to form, this is one reason the Demon King agreed to Yang Yu releasing Instant Kill.
As long as Yang Yu stays in this Barrier long enough, escaping becomes highly difficult.
Naturally, Yang Yu knows escaping from this Barrier is almost impossible.
The Demon King has investigated him, continuously using high-damage area magic attacks, trying his best to block his movements.
Therefore, Yang Yu does not covet the "Unyielding to Despair" Passive, takes out Blood Bottles to heal, preparing for a long fight, waiting for that imagined reinforcements.
However....
"Corrosion and Rust"
Iron Steel Dragon Black Diamond Lorne’s voice reaches Yang Yu’s ears.
He sees Iron Steel Dragon Black Diamond Lorne slap the ground, brown lines rapidly spread across the ground, a brown light column spraying beneath his feet, brown raindrops descending in the air.
The raindrops pat sound from hitting Yang Yu, blotches of rust rush past his body.
Corrosion and Rust sounds like a Defense-reducing Skill, yet it’s a Barrier-type Skill, as long as you’re inside it, any recovery tools, Recovery Skills, will become ineffective.
The Potion Yang Yu drank didn’t bring a bit of recovery!
Simultaneously, the skills used for recovery on Yang Yu turn gray-black and unusable.
Tossing the empty bottle aside, Yang Yu furrows his brow:
"Lord Demon King, we agreed on a one-on-one! You’re cheating!"
The Deceitful Emperor lets out a cold laugh:
"The skill he uses won’t cause you any harm, it merely stops all recovery.
I’m just like you.
The amount of Potions we possess is incalculable, constantly using them leads to never-ending battles.
Your use of Potions to heal indicates you’re not as composed as I imagined, you’re nearing your limit, aren’t you?"
