356: Chapter 356 Eleventh-Order Demon

"Qin Ge, I'm so cold..."

After walking only a few steps, Qiao Beibei cried out that she was cold and burrowed into Qin Ge's warm embrace.

Ahead, a massive artificial lake was suddenly covered by a vast, white layer of frost.

Above the lake's surface, a knight clad in ice-crystal armor and riding a tall horse appeared out of thin air.

Holding an ice spear, it galloped toward Dantai Qingyue as the tall horse let out a shrill whinny.

With a furrow of her brow, Dantai Qingyue gripped her pale red longsword and, instead of retreating, moved forward to meet the charge.

About fifteen minutes later, Dantai Qingyue decapitated the Frost Knight with a single stroke of her sword.

Qiao Beibei's eyes shone with admiration. "They're both Tenth-Order Esper-level existences, so why is Beautiful Master so strong?"

Qin Ge stepped forward slowly, explaining patiently, "It's the difference in combat awareness!"

"Even though your Beautiful Master is currently suppressed by the world will and can only use the abilities of a Tenth-Order Strength-Type Esper, her consciousness remains."

"The height and depth at which she perceives the battlefield is far beyond what a Tenth-Order Esper can compare to."

As he spoke, Qin Ge gripped a Tenth-Order Ice-Type demon core and looked toward Dantai Qingyue. "This thing is of great use to Luo Li; it might even allow her to Breakthrough to an Eleventh-Order Ice-Type Esper."

"I'll keep it, is that alright?"

Dantai Qingyue shook her head. "This demon core is most suitable for Luo Li."

...

Half a day later,

Under the assembly-line mode where Qin Ge and Qiao Beibei lured the monsters and Dantai Qingyue killed them,

The final Metal-Attribute Demon Race member—

The very culprit responsible for leaving this area covered in rust,

And the same Demon Race member that had previously poisoned Dantai Qingyue—

Was finally successfully slain by Dantai Qingyue!

Whew—

Even though Dantai Qingyue had killed eight Demon Race members comparable to Tenth-Order Espers in a row, she couldn't help but exhale a breath as fragrant as an orchid, her breathing becoming exceptionally rapid.

She had already overextended her abilities.

No matter how strong her combat awareness was, it couldn't overcome the limitations of her energy.

After successive bursts of power, the Qi in her body was already exhausted!

Just as Dantai Qingyue was about to step forward and take the only Tenth-Order demon core that Qin Ge had not asked for,

Boom—

From the depths of the polluted area, a terrifying figure shot out.

With a single punch, even though Dantai Qingyue was prepared, she was still sent flying back.

"A Demon Race member beyond the Tenth-Order!?"

Dantai Qingyue's full chest heaved from the shock of the immense force.

She raised her eyes and looked at the seductive woman opposite her, a look of surprise in her gaze.

"Dantai Qingyue, a Tenth-Order Strength-Type Esper and the guardian of the Blue Star world!"

"Tell me, why did you leave Blue Star to come to this Doomsday World?"

"Here, you are miserably suppressed by the world will, unable to exert even half of your original terrifying strength!"

"Previously, the Lady Witch was wary of your terrifying power and didn't dare to rashly invade the world where Blue Star is located."

"But now, you've abandoned the path to heaven and barged through the gates of Hell!"

"If I kill you here in this Doomsday World,"

"Blue Star will no longer have a monster like you guarding it!"

The seductive woman wore a fiery red short skirt, leaving large patches of fair skin exposed to the air.

She was peerlessly beautiful.

Even Qiao Beibei was stunned at first sight.

However, Qin Ge remained completely indifferent.

There was no helping it; he really couldn't muster any romantic thoughts toward a Rainbow Seven-Colored Eel.

This thing's true form was very similar to that deep-sea monster from the movie 'Deep Rising'.

It was a constant reminder to Qin Ge of the existence of reproductive isolation.

"You haven't even fully occupied this world yet, and you dare to dream of laying hands on Blue Star!?"

Dantai Qingyue's cool, beautiful eyes were filled with indignation.

The seductive woman sneered, "Once Dantai Qingyue is dead, taking Blue Star will be as easy as reaching into a bag for an object!"

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—

She opened her mouth wide, and dozens of thick tentacles shot out from her throat.

The tips of these tentacles expanded as they shot out, then split open like flower petals blooming, revealing rows of jagged, terrifying teeth.

They lunged toward Dantai Qingyue from every angle, seeking to tear her apart.

Intent on shredding her to pieces!

Bang, bang, bang—

Dantai Qingyue held her sword, continuously striking out.

Her sword light sent the tentacles flying in all directions, causing the surrounding dilapidated buildings to collapse one after another as they were struck.

The ground trembled, like a dragon turning over.

Dantai Qingyue frowned, fighting as she retreated. Her cool eyes were full of surprise. "These tentacles... I actually can't cut through them!?"

It wasn't just Dantai Qingyue who was shocked; the Rainbow Seven-Colored Eel was even more bewildered.

Is she crazy?

She, a dignified Eleventh-Order Demon Clan Member member, actually couldn't kill a Tenth-Order Strength-Type Esper who was suppressed by the world will.

One had to know that before this, Dantai Qingyue had already gone through a series of intense battles.

She had killed eight Tenth-Order Demon Race members in succession.

Those Demon Race members were merely Puppets she had used to lure Dantai Qingyue here, consume her energy, and then wipe her out in one fell swoop.

After all, none of the previous eight Demon Race members were pure Strength-Types.

Unlike corpse cores,

Their Demon Race cores could not be absorbed if they weren't from the same source.

It was impossible for Dantai Qingyue to grow stronger while fighting.

Yet, even with Dantai Qingyue's strength drastically reduced,

She was still able to withstand her killing moves!?

Gag—

The seductive woman's bloody maw expanded again, the corners of her mouth splitting all the way back to her ears.

And they continued to tear further.

Bang—

Suddenly, her seductively gaudy head exploded, transforming into a giant octopus head.

Countless thick tentacles shot out incessantly.

Like raging ocean waves, they lashed out toward Dantai Qingyue with everything they had.

Bang, bang, bang—

Within a radius of several thousand feet, all buildings were instantly snapped in half by the seductive woman's tentacles.

The sky was filled with flying tentacles.

There was even a scene where tentacles collided with each other, and sharp teeth spat out.

However, even so,

Under such an overwhelming attack, Dantai Qingyue, who was focused solely on evading, was actually able to find those tricky paths of retreat.

Swoosh—

The seductive woman took a sudden breath, sucking all the tentacles back into her body.

The octopus head transformed back into that vulgarly seductive face, which looked as if various beautiful features had been forcibly piled together.

She narrowed her long, thin eyes and stared at Dantai Qingyue, praising her, "Truly worthy of being the Blue Star guardian that even the Lady Witch is wary of."

"You are indeed extraordinary."

"Even as just a Tenth-Order Strength-Type Esper, and even with most of your energy depleted,"

"You can still evade the assassination attempt of an Eleventh-Order Demon Clan Member member."

"But even if you can hide, can the people beside you hide?"

"If I kill them, will you still be as calm as you are now?"

"You Human Race are emotional creatures!"

"Your weakness is too obvious!"

The seductive woman turned her head, her eyes fixed gloomily on Qin Ge, who was holding Qiao Beibei's slender waist.
