Chapter 1522 - 1519: The Power of Both Sides

Unfortunately, it didn't cause any damage to the boss. Not only that, but the energy from the rapid attack was absorbed by the boss.

"Wushang, stop quickly, your power is being absorbed!"

Hearing Ye Qiu's voice, Fang Wushang realized his attack was ineffective and swiftly retreated to Ye Qiu's side.

"It seems like you're the only one who's not worthless!"

The Magical Beast actually spoke!

"In appreciation of you discovering my power, let me reveal who will be the one to kill you!"

"I am one of the seven Demon Knights under the Demon King Ainz Ooal Gown — Kosetsu!"

Demon King Ainz Ooal Gown? Seven Demon Knights? Kosetsu?

The amount of information was overwhelming, and for a moment, Ye Qiu found it hard to accept.

Unexpectedly, the Demon Realm had such high intelligence; they had already mastered human language, indicating that the Magical Beasts had been studying humans for a long time.

Magical Beasts are far more terrifying than humans can imagine!

This was the conclusion Ye Qiu came to.

"You seem like a smart person!"

Ye Qiu's thoughts seemed to be seen through by Kosetsu.

"If I don't kill you here, my fellow beings might all be killed by you!"

"You won't succeed!"

While Ye Qiu was still sorting out his thoughts, Fang Wushang's voice pulled him out of his contemplation.

Yeah! There's nothing really to consider; just defeating the enemy in front of me and protecting the ones by my side will be enough, no matter if it's the Demon King or whatnot!

"Thank you, Wushang."

Seeing that Ye Qiu had returned to his usual self, Fang Wushang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Dong, we need to get serious now!"

Ye Qiu again offered words of encouragement to Dong.

On the surface, these words seemed fearless, but there was a strong sense of unease in his tone. Even the strongest swordsman would feel fear in such a situation. But this is natural, because Ye Qiu is human, and humans feel fear.

Fang Wushang portrayed a rather helpless expression in response to Ye Qiu's waning confidence by the end of his sentence.

"Let's do our best together!"

Ye Qiu nodded and gripped the sword in his hand tighter.

Just as Ye Qiu was preparing to act, two blue-white flames suddenly ignited with a "pop" sound on both sides of the floor not far from the room entrance. This startled Ye Qiu and Fang Wushang, causing their whole bodies to shrink back.

It seems this boss is quite particular about the sense of ceremony.

"Scorching Ice!"

Since normal strikes were ineffective, let's use attribute attacks.

Ye Qiu launched a wide-range attribute attack, and many ice arrows appeared out of thin air around the boss, then rapidly shot towards him!

"Trickery!"

Kosetsu didn't even bother to defend. When the ice arrows hit Kosetsu, they seemed to melt away, yes, the ice was absorbed.

Both physical and attribute attacks can be absorbed!

"This... is even more overpowered than me!"

The ability to absorb all attacks and convert them into one's own power, this is basically invincible!

With a series of popping sounds, blue light emitted from Kosetsu's body again, "Hellfire"

A ball of black flame appeared in Kosetsu's hand, then with a wave, the flame flew directly at Ye Qiu.

"This is bad!" With Ye Qiu's combat instincts, he knew he couldn't withstand this flame head-on.

"Ice Shield!" Ye Qiu used an Ice Shield for defense.

Fang Wushang was a bit surprised, as this was the first time he saw Ye Qiu actually use a defensive move.

The flame didn't extinguish? The Ice Shield was made from the ice of an extremely frigid land, with temperatures around negative 600 degrees, the flame should have gone out.

It seems this isn't an ordinary flame.

"Hellfire uses human fear as its fuel; low temperatures are useless!"

Ye Qiu was quite shocked but didn't give up.

"Dong, remove the restrictions, release the freezing breath!"

"Wushang, go inside the barrier!"

Hearing Ye Qiu's words, Fang Wushang was a bit agitated.

"No! I want to fight with you!"

The chilling breath was already manifesting on the blade of the Profound Celestial Ice Sword, and Ye Qiu didn't want to harm Fang Wushang.

"Go quickly, trust me!"

Seeing that chilling breath on the Profound Celestial Ice Sword, Fang Wushang realized that staying here would only hinder Ye Qiu.

"You have to win, you promised to protect me!"

"Of course! I still want to eat the food you cook!"

After hearing Ye Qiu's words, Fang Wushang quickly ran inside the barrier.

"Now it's just you and me, but sorry, I'm going to defeat you and then go eat Wushang's cooking!"

Ye Qiu placed the sword near the flame, and the freezing breath gradually devoured the flame.

"How could this happen!" It seemed extinguishing the flame caused a lot of panic in Kosetsu.

"Looks like this isn't just an ordinary attribute aura!"

Kosetsu, being quite intelligent, immediately understood the nature of the freezing breath.

"But in the end, it's just an aura!"

Ye Qiu ignored his words. Currently, all Ye Qiu cared about was defeating him quickly and going back to eat.

"Abyssal Devouring!"

The aura gathered at the sound of Ye Qiu's shout, transforming into a bird-shaped blue-black energy cluster. The cluster directly attacked Kosetsu, who still didn't intend to defend, believing that since he could absorb it, defending would only reduce the energy he could absorb.

Just as the energy cluster, taking the form of a bird, bit into Kosetsu, he let out a tremendous shout.

Kosetsu's hand disappeared.

"Why....why is this happening...."

"What's wrong? Isn't it obvious you'd be hit if you didn't defend?"

"You bastard!"

Kosetsu began using the energy he had absorbed previously. It seemed that breaking his invincible absorption made him very angry.

Kosetsu started showing his true power! He had absorbed so much energy, meaning Ye Qiu was now essentially facing 20 divine realm powerhouses alone.

"Hellfire!"

Countless fireballs appeared above Ye Qiu's head, and with even greater power than the flames earlier. Although he could devour the fireballs the same way, doing so wouldn't guarantee safety.

It's better to dodge; Ye Qiu began running rapidly towards Kosetsu, using Kosetsu's huge body as a shield, and then directly attacked Kosetsu with the Profound Celestial Ice Sword.

To accurately strike Kosetsu, Ye Qiu had to look up to see the towering figure, a body wrapped in muscles like thick ropes. The skin color was a deep blue, not losing out to the surrounding flames, and the head above the massive chest was that of a goat rather than a human.

Massive, curved horns stood high from the sides of his head. His eyes glowed like they were burning with blue-white flames, but it was clear his gaze was focused on Ye Qiu.
