Chapter 115: Winning the Bet
A large amount of white smoke ca from the fracture of the skull gem, and it actually cried like a living person. The faces of the two Barnacles turned pale; they cried as they held their heads. They even dropped the weapons in their hands. The two bodies gradually rged into one, but the figure continued to fluctuate; he seed extrely unstable.
The scythe pierced into Chen Rui’s shoulder disappeared, leaving only the pole on his chest. He didn’t hesitate and condensed all his Star Power despite serious injuries. As he scread, was launched continuously resulting in countless strikes within a few seconds.
The light on his hand gradually disappeared and the Star Power that Chen Rui burst out was almost exhausted. He panted heavily. If it weren’t for the characteristics of and , he would’ve been dead from the injuries. He grabbed the pole of the scythe, clenched his teeth and pulled out the scythe with blood splashing around. He had exhausted his Star Power with the barrage of attack. He felt weak, couldn’t stand still and finally fell to the ground. He reluctantly moved his body, drank a bottle of healing potion and finally stopped the bleeding.
The white smoke gradually dissipated while Barnacle’s body also stopped fluctuating. He asked with the last of his strength, “How do you know...”
The answer left Barnacle speechless, “I guessed.”
Chen Rui was so seriously injured that even a smile affected the wound. His eyes flashed with colorful brilliance: I win the bet for this battle!
“I don’t accept this...” Barnacle said a few words. Subsequently, his body suddenly split into several sections and fell to the ground.
Chen Rui understood why Barnacle couldn’t accept the fact. As a Great Demon of ordinary blood at Higher Demon level, it was difficult enough for him to barely grasp the power of Demon King. It was an extrely rare experience. However, he died here, and he was killed by an opponent weaker than him.
This battle was won mainly because of luck.
Chen Rui was literally gambling just now. The first ti he saw Barnacle used , it was during the battle with Paulo and Larks. At that ti, the situation was very critical, so Barnacle had no ti to conceal and the skull gem shone at that ti. Paulo and Larks didn’t pay attention but Chen Rui, as a bystander, acutely discovered that. When the arm of Barnacle’s clone was cut off and the two bodies combined, the skull gem shone again. After the clone that lost an arm combined with the original body, the damage was actually voided.
Chen Rui was already sure that Barnable’s was related to the gem at that ti. Just now, when Barnacle was trying to activate his skill, he intentionally spun his scythe to cover up the gem’s light, which reaffird Chen Rui’s thought.
However, plans couldn’t keep up with the changes. Chen Rui’s original intention was to destroy Barnacle’s skill. He didn’t expect after the skull gem was destroyed, Barnacle’s injuries were still beyond his expectation. Thus, he made a spontaneous decision to kill this even with his heavy injuries.
If only Barnacle’s weapon were damaged, then Chen Rui would’ve to activate the “Dark Will’s” . Since he sowhat broke his opponent’s most powerful skill, he’d have more confidence in the subsequent battle.
A breeze blew toward him and Chen Rui felt a little dizzy. The strength that relied on his will gradually dissipated after defeating his enemy; he could no longer focus.
The injuries this ti were heavier than the battle with Mikas outside of Dark Moon back then. After advancing to the Mizar state that ti, it was mainly the wound his chest and so traumas. Now, it was both internal and external. Besides, he lost a huge amount of blood. Even if he drank a healing potion, it could only stop the bleeding, but couldn’t replenish the blood.
Chen Rui’s vision began to blur gradually and a strong sleepiness struck continuously, leaving him no strength to even hide Barnacle’s corpse.
The place where he fought Barnacle was very close to the main road. The sky was bright already. Thus, if he stayed there, he’d definitely be found by soone. Not only was he in the Demon Realm, he was also in the unfamiliar Dark Shadow Empire. So, he didn’t expect he’d have the luck to bump into any kind demon.
The mont before he went unconscious, Chen Rui activated... “Dark Will”.
Exhausted. I’m very exhausted.
When will this danger end, so I can live a truly peaceful life?
Is my wish now still the sa as before... going back to the Earth?
It seems like I haven’t felt actual sunlight for a long ti in my mory...
Is there also warm sunlight on the Earth in this dinsion?
Within the blur, he seed to see Athena.
A painted face that was a little funny with a bright light behind her.
It turns out that sunlight is always around.
Wherever she is, warmth follows.
Wherever she is, sunlight follows.
Not knowing how long it had passed, Chen Rui opened his eyes.
His first reaction was surprise.
All of his limbs were bound with a translucent, dark gold shackles. It faintly displayed a series of complex symbols, as if it was naturally-ford texture. That should be so kind of refined magic array. This pair of shackles had special power which suppressed his Star Power, so he basically lost his combat power.
Actually, even if he wasn’t shackled, with Chen Rui’s injuries, his strength had greatly weakened. He tried using his strength and found out that the magic shackles restricted his Star Power, but couldn’t restrict his Aura skills, such as and . His appearance still maintained the appearance of “Chen Rui on Earth” under the effect of “”. However, he didn’t know how much auras were wasted during the coma.
Chen Rui rembered after beheading Barnacle and before passing out, he activated the of the Dark Will to avoid being found. However, this ti the goddess of fortune didn’t take care of him. Instead, he was possessed by the god of misfortune as he was discovered and imprisoned.
To make things worse, the escaping ring, “Dark Will” on his left hand’s ring finger was gone!
This is a huge trouble.
Chen Rui carefully examined his surrounding. Currently, he was in an enclosed hall with bright magic lamps installed on the walls on both sides. He couldn’t tell if it was day or night. There were two veiled maids beside him. When they saw him waking up, one of them said, “Sally, this guy is awake. Go and report to Madam Delia.”
Sally assented and imdiately turned toward the inner hall. showed that the race of the two maids were Great Demon and their strength was at Higher Demons.
These two maids were in human form, which ant they were Great Demons with mutated bloodline. Besides, they were both Higher Demon even though their identities were just maids!
Chen Rui sat up and probed, “Excuse , where is this place?”
The maid said coldly, “Don’t bother speaking nonsense; you don’t have to ask any questions. When madam cos in, you just have to answer honestly, then perhaps you can save your pitiful life.”
What kind of demon is this madam? Even her servants are mutated Great Demon at Higher Demon level!
Chen Rui was completely unfamiliar with the Dark Shadow Empire. Now that the Dark Will fell into the hands of his opponent and his strength was suppressed, he had to think of surviving first.
Soon, he heard footsteps and a woman appeared before Chen Rui’s eyes.
The woman was slender and her skin was fair. Her blue hair was tied as a bun at the back of her head. Her face was covered with a veil and only her beautiful blue eyes could be seen. Her tight-fitting clothes that weren’t revealing managed to fully display the important, curvaceous part of the body. Every actions of her exuding an alluring charm.
The data shown in was: Envy Royal Family; Comprehensive Strength Assessnt: C; Physique: Unknown; Strength: Unknown; Spirit: Unknown; Agility: Unknown.
Envy Royal Family! Demon King-level powerhouse!
The ruler of the Dark Shadow Empire was the Asmodeus Family... the “Lust” Royal Family, such as the first beauty Catherine Asmodeus the Great rather than the “Envy” Royal Family with the family na of Leviathan!
Like Roman’s “Sloth” Royal Family, the “Envy” royal family that once ruled an empire was long gone. It seed that this madam was a descendant of the Envy Royal Family. She attached to the Dark Shadow Empire for survival.
“Madam.” The maids bowed.
“Emma, put him on a chair. Then, go in to protect the madam with Sally. Rember, unless the madam cos out by herself, you can’t leave or disturb under any circumstances.”
Emma assented and pulled Chen Rui up onto a chair. Then, she bowed and walked to the back of the hall.
After Emma entered, the madam’s eyes fell on Chen Rui.
“Do you want to die quickly or being tortured slowly to death?” A slightly husky voice sounded. Along with the charming temperant, it gave a special sexiness. Yet, the aning from the words sent chills down the spine.
Chen Rui smiled bitterly. She just seed so polite to put on the chair, now her first sentence is to take my life?
“I want to live.”
The madam suddenly laughed, but within her sexy laughter, it was filled with coldness and hatred.
“Let introduce myself. My na is Delia. Many people in the capital address as Madam Black Widow. Do you know about the black widow in the Demon Realm? When it cos to the males, even if they are mates, the female black widow can still eat them without hesitation. Therefore, I generally don’t like to keep n alive.”
Chen Rui knew he hadn’t t her before, so he didn’t understand where did the inexplicable hatred ca from. Does she hate all n? Vicious and cruel. She’s indeed like her na, Madam Black Widow.
Demon King-level strength was indeed scary, but the hatred was even scarier.
Chen Rui was secretly shocked, but he didn’t have the ti to think about that. His priority now was to survive from this strange, terrifying woman.
Survive first before thinking about other things.
“Yet, you’re lucky today because I’m in a good mood...” Delia’s eyes regained a touch of flattery. “So, now, be honest then perhaps you can really survive. “
Now, he had no choice. Although Chen Rui always had thousands of strategies in mind, he couldn’t use them for the ti being; he had no choice but to nod his head.
“Your na.”
“Richard.” The na was nothing more than a variation of his na, Chen Rui as he didn’t dare to simply use the na, Aguile.
“Where did you co from? What were you doing?”
“I ca from Town Leia, and I wanted to go to the capital city. I ran into a fight on the way, so I was being hunted and went into coma. After I woke up, I’m here.”
Chen Rui answered carefully. He felt that Delia’s voice beca gentler and more intimate, as if a vortex filled with temptations. He knew that it was dangerous to enter into the vortex, but he couldn’t resist; he was gradually trapped like a moth flying into fla.
At this ti, within Delia’s lake-blue right eye, a strange light was slowly glowing.
Chen Rui knew sothing was wrong, but his words had started to be free from his will. He gradually fell into the rhythm of his opponent.
