Chapter 996 - Fight with Pain (2/2)

The former was like a short hammer, and the latter could be used as a sword. As long as they didn’t directly hit the demon’s magic sword, they were quite useful to her.

400 years was long enough to make her an expert in all kinds of weapons.

And her favorite place to attack was still its shoulder.

Pain was sometimes unrelated to the size of the wound.

“If you’re tired, you might take a break now,” Zooey said, hanging the spine around her waist and moving her numb wrists. “After all, you have to torture me for a long time. It would be better to take your time.”

“…” The demon did not respond for the first time. Its chest heaved as it was breathing deeply, and its scarlet eyes stared at the Extraordinary. The initial contempt faded from its human-like face.

Their relative strength had not changed. The various abilities of a Senior Demon had ensured its superior position in this fight. Zooey needed to pay several times the cost in order to strike her opponent. Once she made a mistake, she would suffer for a long time. It was not unusual that her fingers were broken and her belly was torn apart. Even so, the atmosphere gradually changed.

Zooey did not take any notice of its silence. “Let me ask… Is this space created by you?”

The demon probably needed to rest for a moment. Kabradhabi slowly said, “This is a stream of consciousness, a combination of magic power and the soul. It doesn’t need anyone to create it. It’s hard to understand for a bug like you. Almost no one has a chance to enter the stream of consciousness—”

“I’ve seen a bigger one, which was as complete as a real world,” she interrupted. “There were trees, sky, and earth. It’s not like here. There is nothing here.”

“Nonsense, female!” the demon roared, “You have no idea how much magic power it consumes to construct entities in the stream of consciousness, let alone a complete world! Only the Fountain of Magic can do that!”

“It’s the Fountain of Magic again… It’s just like the domain of deities, an illusion. No one has been there, but they talk as if they’ve seen it.” Zooey took off the spine bone and held it with her hand.

“This is engraved in the heritage. But you would know nothing about it!”

“Then can you elaborate further and come up with some evidence to convince me?.”

“Female, do you think I’m a fool?” Kabradhabi was furious. “How can I, lord Kabradhabi, be deceived by such a clumsy technique—”

Before it finished its words, a “spear” pierced through its head.

The white spear was the spine thrown by Zooey.

“Since you don’t want to say anything, then that’s the end of the rest. When you want to talk about it, we’ll take a rest again.” She held the thigh bone and rushed toward the staggering demon.

…

Dozens of days later.

“Why,” asked Kabradhabi, who had completely lost its original momentum. It held its Magic Sword in front of its chest, staring at Zooey as if she were a monster, “Don’t you fear pain?”

“The war 400 years ago made me accustomed to it, while hibernating for 400 years made me forget it. If you regained something which had always accompanied you, would you fear it?” Zooey raised her lips. At this moment, she no longer had to conceal herself. “In fact, I have to thank you. You’ve compensated for the feelings which King Roland can’t give me.”

“You… are crazy!”

“This is only a brief moment compared to hundreds of years. Now, it’s your turn to please me.”

When Zooey once again stabbed her fingers into the demon’s chest, the sight in front of her suddenly twisted. The blood, flesh, and body parts all turned into nothingness, and a strong sensation of dizziness overwhelmed her.

When she opened her eyes again, she saw the hall dome of Third Border City.
