Elf found it difficult to understand: "But, after making so many plans, such a complex strategy was completed..."
"Precisely because of this, it’s ’having tried our best but still unable to win.’ She probably believes she can find peace of mind... However, given that it was in front of Mr. Doro, she might have already embarrassed herself by now."
"Embarrassed herself?"
Mohe shook his head, speaking with two brainless people is truly exhausting!
"That’s Mr. Doro’s concern. We must now find the great Thunder Emperor and see for ourselves what this so-called punishnt entails. Soone who didn’t dare face directly in the past, how could they claim a symbol."
Symbols seem to be sothing important to the Demon King?
...
The magic power within the city had reached a limit, creating a rift in the void, from which Doro could see the familiar Demon King’s Horns appearing from within that crack.
The mont the horns appeared, all the magic power in the city was absorbed, triggering a terrifying storm.
Black and white lights intertwined on those horns, the power of creation and destruction continuously cycling, as if countless materials and lives were born and destroyed inside. Just looking at those horns felt like witnessing the change of an entire world.
"It truly reminds of battling the Demon King." Doro felt inexplicably better, reminiscing about the fight with Mohe, perilous as it was, where even a minor mistake could lead to death, but he couldn’t forget that feeling in his life.
When death was so close, he was closest to true power.
Seeing those horns again, he beca unexpectedly excited: "If this can bring the threat of death, it would truly be exciting, Adriana, I’m eager to see to what extent your strategy can go."
Doro’s aura no longer restrained, flowing freely.
Unlike the terrifying eruption in the Elf Kingdom, at this mont, his power was entirely under his control, the aura flowed around him like water.
This state, Adriana had witnessed before.
It was Doro’s state during the battle with the Demon King. Precise, perfectly controlling every ounce of his power, holding the duel entirely in his own hands, not letting any power slip away – to face the ultimate adversary. He was being serious.
Should she feel happy? Her plans over the years were at least more profound than so others, after all, from the information Adriana had, neither Charlette nor Adeline could make Doro truly "serious." Maybe she should indeed feel honored.
Doro spread his arms wide.
As if embracing the whole world.
"Co on, Adriana, show if you can truly kill ."
He would not resist.
Pouring all his strength, all his accumulation...
Adriana’s expression finally beca determined at this mont, a staff appeared in her hand, about as tall as herself, symbolizing the president of the Mage Union.
She slamd the staff into the ground fiercely; the efforts over the years, the connection established with the Demon King’s Horns, had finally co to play their role, to respond to her will at this mont.
"All magic power..."
Earth, water, fire, wind, light, darkness, space, life... As the Ultimate Mage existing in this world in the na of the Wise Person, Adriana finally revealed her fangs.
Her lenses shattered under the eruption of such power, Doro could feel that at this mont, the power Adriana erupted did not seem weaker than the power charged by the city. If the two are combined... should there be more?
Nurous dense spaces left endlessly, various things fell from those minuscule spaces.
Upon touching the ground, they were drawn by so force, turning into powder, dispersing in the air, then transforming into pure magic power.
"High-quality magic stones—looks like your deal with the Wise King is complete."
But Adriana no longer answered Doro’s words, her entire body was enveloped in magic power, even the staff in her hand started to fracture at this mont, a world-class staff!
"A·Gedora! This strike is not my strength, hence it has no na."
With Adriana’s words, everything disappeared.
Sight, sound, consciousness—driven by magic power regardless of the cost, did the symbolic horns of creation and destruction penetrate through Doro’s body?
Adriana did not know.
Was she dead?
Is this what death feels like? If she uses Undead Magic at this ti, could it be maintained?
What’s the point of maintenance?
In any case, in her life, she had lived up to her family’s honor, death was rely the inevitable conclusion every life must reach.
"Adriana, rember, our clan was born to protect the world. Even if you can’t, you must pass on this mission..."
Pass on? What laughable words, what a laughable—curse?
Anyway, I have no descendants; I’ve dedicated my life to this; it should also be, considered...
Consciousness suddenly returned.
Sight, sound, returned to Adriana’s perception, she then saw it.
The horns pierced into Doro’s body.
Carefully being pulled out from his body by Doro.
"This mustn’t be damaged; although I think Mohe should have other thods, she will certainly give a hard ti afterward..." Treating the Demon King’s Horns as though they were a perfect artwork, once he had completely pulled the horns out of his body, the large hole left by the pierced horns began to naturally heal.
There wasn’t even any blood.
"How..."
"It’s only powerful in force—yet for Mohe and , at our level, force alone ans nothing, even if you multiply the magic power you poured in by ten, it wouldn’t be effective." Doro stood before Adriana, "This is the result of your strategy, before I killed the Elf Queen, I originally had no intention of aligning my essence with Mohe."
Doro recalled his battle with the Elf Queen: "But oddly enough, as death approached, she refused to die quietly, forcibly exchanged life with using a strange magic, compelling to genuinely step into Mohe’s realm, embodying eternity. Do you think this was the right choice?"
Adriana saw the flash of golden light in Doro’s pupils.
Had he really approached the Demon King?
No—
Adriana laughed.
He had long since defeated the Demon King.
From the very start, didn’t she already know?
Following Doro’s gesture, she spread her arms: "I have exhausted all my strength and accumulation; your debt to has ended; now it’s ti for your vengeance against the past."
Indeed, since Doro harbored hatred towards them, now was the ti for his revenge.
Doro laughed.
Laughed with contempt.
"Just as Mohe said, seeing ugly struggles from people like you, indeed, is an entertaining show, I now sowhat understand her."
He squatted, patting Adriana’s shoulder, whispered into her ear: "I will not kill you."
Adriana’s pupils constricted.
Doro stood up, laughing loudly: "Let think—Wise Adriana colluding with Demon King, pretending to be the hero’s adversary, actually orchestrated the downfall of the Elf Kingdom, even returned the Demon King’s Horns, is the biggest mastermind, what do you think? The goal was to get the Demon King’s liver."
"Gedora! You!"
"If unwilling, you could just commit suicide."
When Adriana ca back to her senses, Doro was already gone.
