Endless Transmigration: These Shitty Lives are Killing Me Chapter 46: Tricks and Extreme Persistence

--- Chapter 45 ---

"Huh?"

Queen dusa was speechless. She didn't expect such a thing to co from Baek Ain's mouth.

A chance to beco his wife?

And if she wins, that's it.

How ridiculous.

"I thought you'd bring sothing interesting into this insignificant ga, but I could be wrong... I'll kill you right now." Queen dusa stretched her finger at Baek Ain, sending a laser-like beam to his chest.

"Die, Ant-like Human..."

Swoosh!

The beam traveled like lightning and cut through the air, reaching Baek Ain's chest. However, he tilted his body to the right and dodged the beam casually.

"You..." Queen dusa was perplexed.

After all, to dodge her attack like that, Dou Emperor's speed and sense are needed.

Are you saying this young human possesses Dou Emperor's level of sense? That's absurd.

'He redirects my attack once. I thought it was a bluff, but it's not.' Queen dusa frowned while gazing into Baek Ain's hazel-gold eyes. Those eyes didn't show an ounce of nervousness.

[Lightning Impulse]

'Fuck, I almost die.' Baek Ain cursed while hearing Alicia's notification.

If Baek Ain did not have Lightning Impulse, he could have received critical damage earlier. He could dodge by himself, but trusting his instinct is more important in this scenario.

Baek Ain sighed inside and played it cool.

"What? Do you think the best is unfair?"

"Maybe we should change it then..."

"Hmph! This queen isn't interested anymore. You can die worthlessly, human!" Queen dusa responded with such venom.

Baek Ain shrugged and returned, "What about this then... If you defeat , I'll help solidify your connection with Green Lotus Core Fla. You might hide it from others, but I know very well you didn't form a complete harmony with that Heavenly Fla."

"Heck, I bet you didn't use the right thod to absorb it."

Upon hearing that, Queen dusa was stunned on the spot.

"Of course, the wife part is still included. Aih, the betting is becoming unfair at this point." Baek Ain sighed as if he had lost sothing, leaving Queen dusa speechless again.

"So... What do you think? Will you accept this insignificant human challenge?"

Left with such choices, Queen dusa stayed quiet for a few minutes as she calculated the pros and cons of this bet. She didn't know Baek Ain tricked her into thinking deeply.

Baek Ain is no genius.

He's forrly a lazy guy who just graduated from university.

Facing such a tight and dangerous situation, where his overall advantage is not very advantageous. Baek Ain had to think of a way to defeat the strong while being a cockroach before them.

Be wicked.

Be toxic.

Be playful.

Be calculative.

Be unfair.

Baek Ain has to use every trick in his sleeve.

And the first step to winning this fight is to get his words into Queen dusa's head. A typical provocation won't work on Queen dusa because she was a queen for a reason, so he has to take drastic asures by proposing to her in a bet.

She wouldn't expect such a thing.

And with her pride, she won't reject such a bet with juicy rewards.

It's a one-sided fight, after all.

'That what she should think at the mont?' Baek Ain observed Queen dusa's relaxed expression. Her red eyes shone with confidence that she could win this fight anyti she wanted.

Queen dusa smirked and said, "Very well. I accepted this small bet of yours."

"Tell in which way you wanted to be killed, human?"

"Butchered to pieces or erased from existence?"

"Well, painless death will be fine. However, let's put another condition to this bet." Baek Ain responded calmly.

"The condition to win this bet is when your opponent surrenders first. You can injure your opponent critically, which ans cutting limbs and other dirty tricks are allowed."

"It's a one VS one fight, so outside help is prohibited. Unless the great Queen dusa is so afraid that she asks for the assistance of her followers."

"Hmph, I should be the one who said that." Queen dusa huffed while crossing her arms.

"Both parties agreed. Here is the partial reward. I put the thod to absorb Heavenly Fla inside this spatial ring." Baek Ain threw a black-colored ring at Queen dusa.

"You can get the rest of the reward after searching my corpse. If you could kill , that's it."

Queen dusa caught the ring and comnted, "We'll see about that soon."

Baek Ain grinned inside and added, "What are you waiting for, Queen dusa? Let's start the fight."

BOOM! SWOOSH!

Baek Ain disappeared from Queen dusa's vision as he used Wings of Freedom and Dou Qi Wings simultaneously. He also activated Golden Crow's Possession, which increased his cultivation realm to 6-Star Dou King for a minute.

Pulling out the Severed Green Lotus Blade and Corrupted Scythe, Baek Ain surprised Queen dusa with a slash on her stomach.

Queen dusa tried to catch Baek Ain, but Hai Bodong's comnt stated his speed was faster than most Dou Emperors. Since she looked down on Baek Ain, he could swiftly land the first hit.

And he didn't hold back.

"Seven Star Blade Art: Final Act."

"Devouring the World!"

Queen dusa's red eyes widened as she felt imnse pressure coming to her abdon area. She let out a piercing scream and released all her cultivation at once, rendering any incoming attack useless.

However, it was too late.

ROAR!

A fiery golden tiger appeared and bit her stomach, leaving a small hole.

The Corrupted Scythe got destroyed when attacking Queen dusa's stomach, which was "faintly." covered with thick scales.

CRACK! BOOOOOOOOOOM!!

"Despicable Human!" Queen dusa felt a searing pain in her stomach.

She stretched her slender hand and attacked Baek Ain with full force, sending him to the ground. Even with Lightning Impulse, Baek Ain couldn't dodge such an attack.

BAM!

"Fuck, too shallow..." Baek Ain landed on the ground with every bone broken to pieces, coughing blood profusely. His healing factor started to kick in, but not fast enough.

"Die!" Queen dusa appeared, having her right hand coated with nacing purple Dou Qi.

Baek Ain blinked and watched the hand land on his poor chest, crushing the ribcage and so internal organs into pieces.

CRACK! BOOM!

He groaned in pain but bit his tongue to suppress it.

"I won." Queen dusa declared while standing proudly before him.

Baek Ain smiled faintly and lifted his left hand painfully, swiping his index finger to the left.

Queen dusa frowned and moved her head to the left, finding nothing but thin air. "Y-You!" She returned her focus to him.

Baek Ain has completely healed himself with Senzu Bean and charged at her quickly. His fist was covered with Gno's Heavenly Four-Colored Fla and Golden Fla, forming a thick layer of energy.

"Three Breakthrough Punches!"

Baek Ain smashed his fist against Queen dusa's beautiful face and rcilessly continued with the other two. The mix between lightning-like speed and heavy attack created enough montum to blow her several ters away.

BOOOOOOOOM!!

Queen dusa felt a pang in her head. Everything becos blurry for a second as Baek Ain clutches onto her snake tail, pulling it with all his might.

"MOVE! GOD DAMN IT!" Baek Ain threw her to the sky.

SWOOOOSH! BOOOOOM!!

"Co on, co on, co on!" Baek Ain soared to the sky with multiple uses of Super Jump, chasing after Queen dusa.

He clenched his fist and used all his Dou Qi Energy in his attack. His right hand beca green and shone like an erald.

"Green Sun's Wheel X Seven Star Blade Art."

"Iai Hand-Chop."

BAM!

Baek Ain landed his hand chop on Queen dusa's stomach and created a green line. The line expanded and beca the green sun, changing the sky for a brief mont.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!

"Kuugh!" Queen dusa released a painful groan.

"Do you think you could fly in the sky alone? You forgot I was once a Dou King, human!"

"And you're fighting the Dou Emperor! A peak Dou Emperor!"

A pair of majestic purple energy wings appeared on Queen dusa's back. She received Baek Ain's attack just fine, as only so of her internal organs were shaking, but the damage wasn't so special.

"You surprised before, but you can die now!" Queen dusa lunged and pierced Baek Ain's chest with her arm, grabbing his beating heart.

Cough!

"Checkmate." Baek Ain flipped his index finger because Queen dusa had fallen into his trap.

As they fell from the sky, Queen dusa threw Baek Ain's corpse to the ground and burned his blood clean off her arm.

A big mistake.

Looking at the broken corpse, Queen dusa haughtily scoffed and comnted, "You're not much, after all."

"You surprised a few tis, but a dead man should stay dead."

Queen dusa reached for the black-colored spatial ring from Baek Ain before the fight, checking the content. A white smoke suddenly invaded her nose with an acidic scent.

She coughed and had a nosebleed.

"W-What happened? There is no thod in this spatial ring!" She was startled and felt weird for so reason.

Baek Ain suddenly appeared from behind and stabbed Queen dusa's stomach with a Severed Green Lotus Blade. "Don't trust your enemy too much, my queen." He comnted with an exposed heart as his flesh fixed itself.

BAM!

Queen dusa whipped Baek Ain with her tail, sending him flying like a broken kite.

BOOOMM!

[Last Man Standing activated]

[You have one second to recover your body, host]

Baek Ain wiped the blood from his mouth and popped 5-tier pills to recover his body. Unlike the first damage he received from Queen dusa, he didn't need Senzu Bean to catch her off guard again.

He used it once to recover his Dou Qi, so using another one will be repetitive and wasteful.

"ARRGGGHHHHHHHHH!" Queen dusa scread at the top of her lungs.

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE, HUMAN!"

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY BODY!!"

Baek Ain sat on a broken rubble and replied, "Poison."

"Not just normal poison because I know Snake People, especially you, are immune to most poison people know."

"I used White Poison Arts, which absorbed the poison from Woeful Poison Body and combined it with Geocentric Change Poison from the depth of earth."

"Geocentric Change Poison is awfully effective against snake people because it affects all your senses, including the heat sensor."

"Additionally... You haven't absorbed the Green Lotus Core Fla completely, which ans an intervention from a similar type of fire will cause a rapid reaction in your body."

"My Heavenly Fla is ford from several thousand earth spirits, having similar properties to Green Lotus Core Fla. Soon, your body will combust because you can control your Dou Qi."

"You can try to Evolve as you planned before fighting , but do you think I'd let you?" Baek Ain slowly stood out of the rubble, limping as he walked toward Queen dusa.

His steps are clear, but one could hear bones grinding each others every walk Baek Ain made.

Queen dusa hissed in pain as she slithered to function while facing Baek Ain. She scowled and said, "I shouldn't have accepted the bet."

"What, Are you going back on your words now?" Baek Ain's body was "thinly." covered with Golden Fla again. "Aww... Queen dusa is so petty."

"You might poison , but I could still kill you a thousand tis." Queen dusa returned, attacking Baek Ain relentlessly.

Baek Ain faced her straight ahead and swung his Severed Green Lotus Blade. He dodged and exchanged blows with Queen dusa, having his body blown into pieces a few tis.

"AAAAAAAAAAHHH!!" Baek Ain let out a howl, stunning Queen dusa for two seconds.

[Super Jump 10x]

[Steel-like Body 10x]

"Energy Blast!" Baek Ain moved forward with afterimages and charged Queen dusa's stomach with concentrated energy.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

Their attacks t each other, causing everything around them to explode in extre heat.

Queen dusa pressed Baek Ain down with her tail and said, "Give the antidote."

"This is my victory."

Baek Ain laughed with half his body becoming at pulp and responded amusingly, "Hahaha~! It seems you forgot the condition to win this fight?"

"This fight will only end when either of us surrenders."

"And I WON'T EVER SURRENDER!"

"You can kill a thousand tis, but I won't die so easily."

"Grrr... Then Die AGAIN!" Queen dusa tortured Baek Ain for hours, not realizing her control over Green Lotus Core Fla started to slip off.

After three hours, Queen dusa's chest heaved up and down. She looked at Baek Ain's sorry state and gritted her teeth because the poison had spread all over her body.

"You damned human!"

"Hehe... I know you started losing control over Green Lotus Core Fla. One small mistake and poof, the Heavenly Fla will beco wild." Baek Ain grinned with a bloody mouth.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!" Queen dusa let out a frustrated scream, punching Baek Ain again.

The ground in her throne room cracked, and the surrounding forest is "thoroughly." burned by golden flas.

"Haha..."

"Haha..."

Their heavy breathing filled the area.

Queen dusa continuously destroyed Baek Ain to the pulp, but he seems immortal. No matter how many injuries and pain Baek Ain went through, he'd recover with that shaless grin on his annoying face.

BOOM!

Queen dusa's stomach suddenly exploded, exposing a wisp of green light.

"No!" She panicked imdiately.

"Yes!" Baek Ain cut his right, which was "firmly." smitten by Queen dusa's tail.

He used Super Jump and hugged Queen dusa's hip, biting her stomach.

"GET OFF OF , HUMAN!" Queen dusa was enraged.

"HOW DARE YOU TOUCH MY BODY!"

"DON'T WANNA!" Baek Ain shouted back.

[Life Drain]

[Fire Devouring]

"Y-YOU DARE!" Queen dusa noticed her life energy and Green Lotus Core Fla were "slowly." absorbed by Baek Ain.

"HEHEHE~!"

"THIS IS THE FIGHT OF ENDURANCE, BABY~! LET'S WHOSE WILL IS MORE POWERFUL!" Baek Ain released his Gno's Heavenly Four-Colored Fla, nding it with Green Lotus Core Fla.

"YOU OR !!"

"YOU, SHALESS BASTARD! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!"

'I also have another trick up to my sleeve, dusa!' Baek Ain thought while activating another skill.

[NIRVANA TOUCH]

Queen dusa felt a weird sensation on her lower half and stared at Baek Ain in disbelief. She blushed in anger.

He casually laughed and continued his tricks.

As ti passes, Queen dusa tries everything to get Baek Ain off her body. However, he's like a sticky leech that is stuck on her.

An hour passed, and the Green Lotus Core Fla began to cover both of them.

Another hour passed, and their bodies were "literally." charred because of the extre heat. Even though Baek Ain possessed Golden Crow's Blessing, this Green Lotus Core Fla is powered by Queen dusa's Dou Qi, making it more destructive.

However, Baek Ain won't leave Queen dusa.

"I must win!"

"I must win!"

"I must win!"

"I must win!"

"GIVE UP, DUSA!"

"NOOOOOOOOOO!! NEVER!" Queen dusa scread at him.

They stared into each other's eyes, having an intense staring contest as their bodies crumbled gradually. Several Snake People gathered in the area but couldn't touch either Baek Ain or Queen dusa because the extre heat could kill the Dou Emperor upon contact.

Queen dusa witnessed Baek Ain's determination.

Even though he experienced a thousandfold of her pain, he didn't even blink and focused on absorbing the fire.

'This human!'

'This parasite!'

'This LUNATIC!'

'I won't give up, no matter what! I won't lose to a human!'

That's what Queen dusa thought.

After six hours, The Green Lotus Core Fla erupted and blazed everything in green hell.

Pain, misery, and disbelief filled Queen dusa's head.

Why can't this human die?

Does he hate to lose that much like her?

Queen dusa is at her very limit.

Even peak Dou Emperor has a limit. Dou Emperor is strong, and there is no mistake in that statent.

However, Dou Emperors are no GODS!

'I-I lost? My body couldn't make it.' Queen dusa lost her words.

'At this point, I'll lose everything...'

'I don't want to lose everything...'

"Why are you so persistent? Can't you die?"

Baek Ain chuckled as his whole body burned like a stove and replied, "No. I can't die yet, Queen dusa."

"I have discovered my loved ones in this world. I don't want them to be sad."

"I don't want to leave them in misery."

"It's cliche, but my love for them won't allow to give up."

"Losing them is more painful than dying in this fiery hell."

"That's why giving up is not an option..."

"I must succeed!" Baek Ain's voice filled Queen dusa's ears.

'Love?" Queen dusa fell into deep thought. She clenched her hands because she lost to such a weak feeling of a human.

However, it makes Queen dusa question her goal.

Twelve hours passed, and Baek Ain was close to his ti limit.

Baek Ain cried because he might fail this quest.

'Please...' He pleaded internally. He doesn't want to leave Yafei and Lan Rou in this world.

Cough! Cough!

Queen dusa coughed profusely. There is a hint of redness on her cheeks.

She looked down at Baek Ain and finally said, "I-I... I give up."

"It's your victory, human."

"Ah..." Baek Ain felt like sothing unbelievable struck his chest.

Alicia's notification appeared in his head.

[Ding! You have finished "Queen dusa." quest]

All the stress build-up in the battle between Baek Ain and Queen dusa exploded simultaneously, and he fainted.

Queen dusa is dying because of excessive exposure to poison and berserk Green Lotus Core Fla. She watched Baek Ain fall to the lting ground and catch him with her burnt snake tail.

She could have killed him right now.

"Love..." She mumbled while brushing Baek Ain's face.

"Hmph! Let's see the nonsense love you were speaking about, human."

"Don't bla for being cruel, but you're the one who proposed to first."

Queen dusa breathed in and used the ancient thod to evolve into Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python. She kissed Baek Ain's lips and gradually disappeared into a wisp of green fire that entered his body.

Her consciousness faded as a small white snake with dim red eyes condensed from her forr body, slithering into Baek Ain's embrace.

"HURRY! HELP THE QUEEN!" Several Snake People approached the throne room.

However, a thick ice wall suddenly covered the area and fetched Baek Ain quickly.

"Fucking hell, Brat. You did it." Hai Bodong hurriedly escaped from the Tager Desert.

"Ehem, I'm proud of you, but don't get the wrong idea. You're still far from gaining my blessing to marry Yafei."

"CATCH THAT HUMAN!" The snake people chased after the Ice Emperor.

After hearing the shouts, Hai Bodong's face beca pale as he noticed Heavenly Gryphon in the sky. He created several ice platforms and landed on the back of the 5-rank magical beast.

"GO!" He scread in panic.

Lan Rou nodded and commanded Heavenly Gryphon to fly quickly, disappearing into the horizon.

Baek Ain's group escaped the Tager Desert, leaving angered and confused snake people.

Lan Rou covered Baek Ain's naked body with a blanket and said, "I know you could do it, Ain."

That night, a legend and criminal was born.

A man appeared one day and challenged Queen dusa to a fight.

The result is unclear, but the snake people brand the man as a criminal for taking Queen dusa away, despite no evidence besides so of her burnt scales.

anwhile, humans in the Tager Desert called him the "Golden Monarch." for shining the Tager Desert in golden light that day. They said he freed humans from Snake People's grasp, which is true, but so people exaggerated the story to the limit.

Even so, Baek Ain's feat spread across the Jia Ma Empire.

No, even the neighboring empire knows about his feat.

However, they didn't know his identity as the Ice Emperor hid Baek Ain in the Miteer Family Mansion quickly. They also suppressed any news regarding him.

Golden Monarch.

That title will strike fear in anyone who hears it in the future.
