Chapter 165: Chapter 136: Want to Die?_2
At that moment, a vibrant red beam abruptly shot forth!
“Rune Magic Penetrating Cannon!!”
Accompanying Ann’s shout, the magic-charged beam hit Queen Mek right in the back, completely shattering her barrier which was already on the brink of collapse. She was knocked over, nearly losing her balance.
The opportunity had arrived!!
Upon seeing this, a light flickered in Duanmu Huai’s eyes.
In the moment of barrier disruption, Duanmu Huai and Lorena jumped off the Metal Secret Dragon, hurtling towards Queen Mek.
“You stupid mortals……!!!”
Queen Mek was not going to be easily taken down. Seeing the two charging at her, she roared and reached out to grab these two insects. However, she immediately felt a sudden resistance as she reached out that forcefully stopped her further actions. Turning her head around, she saw Ogis atop the Metal Secret Dragon, tightly gripping and pulling back almost invisible thread — with one end wrapped tightly around Queen Mek’s arm!
Though it was a fleeting moment, it was enough. Blocked by Ogis and missing the opportunity, Queen Mek couldn’t catch the charging Duanmu Huai and Lorena. Immediately, the Thundering Hammer and the massive Holy Canon heavily hit Queen Mek right in the face.
What she thought would be a negligible attack like the striking of an insect turned out to be shocking. When she was hit, Queen Mek felt like someone had thrown a boulder straight into her face, with the severe pain and impact making her head spin. In agony, Queen Mek swung her arms wildly and began flapping her wings, escaping backward as if her life depended on it. With every flap of her wings, sharp, dangerous rays of light akin to sword beams, whistled out, flying at Duanmu Huai and the others.
Seeing this, Duanmu Huai cursed in his breath, quickly grabbed Lorena by his side, activated the jetpack, and leaped upward to evade Queen Mek’s attack. The Metal Secret Dragon, unable to dodge in time, was hit directly by the beam, howled and fell to the ground – though the Metal Secret Dragon could resist all physical attacks, it did not have effective defense against non-physical ones.
In the meantime, Ogis, riding on the Metal Secret Dragon, hurriedly reached out, operated the thread to bind Duanmu Huai, jumped up and dodged the attack, landing on Duanmu Huai’s shoulder.
“You, you bastards!!!”
At this moment, Queen Mek lowered her shielding hands again, looking up furiously at Duanmu Huai and the others. Her metal-made facial mask was completely shattered under the joint full-force attack from Duanmu Huai and Lorena. Under the mask was a hideously devil-like face, her mouth split open like some alien creature, looking eerily similar to the jaws of a mantis.
“I, I will never let you off!!”
“That’s exactly what any fool facing death would say!”
Duanmu Huai roared once more, then the jetpack blasted out a burst of thrust, driving him toward Queen Mek like a cannonball.
“Die, stupid mortal!!”
Facing the charging Duanmu Huai, Queen Mek raised her hands again. With her movement, a shining purple sphere emerged between her hands. She was going to use her incomparable holy power to restrain these lowly beings who dared to disrespect her, then incinerate them with holy fire… to their deaths!!
Just as Queen Mek was launching her rage-filled energy burst at Duanmu Huai and the others, a shimmering magic barrier suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking her nearly flawless strike. Even before Queen Mek could react to what had happened, Ogis, who was sitting on Duanmu Huai’s shoulder, pulled out a suitcase and swung it forcefully at Queen Mek — with the opening of the suitcase, a giant Guardian puppet flew out. Its limbs spread open, countless threads erupted from the dark cloak like chains, binding Queen Mek’s further actions tightly.
But it wasn’t over yet!!
At the same time that Queen Mek was restrained, Felin appeared behind her like a ghost. Wielding her battle axe, she slashed a cloaked mechanical monster into pieces, as if dancing. Then, stepping on the falling mechanical monster, she jumped to Queen Mek’s back. Felin opened her mouth and gently blew a breath onto Queen Mek.
The howling, bone-piercing cold wind surged from the ground, instantly freezing Queen Mek’s unfurled Wings of Light within the ice.
At the same time, Duanmu Huai and Lorena, wielding their weapons once again, hit Queen Mek’s face hard.
This time, Queen Mek couldn’t resist their mighty strike and screamed as she fell downwards, crashing to the ground like a pile of rubbish.
As Duanmu Huai and the others descended to the ground again, Queen Mek had completely lost her original appearance.
Looking at Queen Mek before them, Ann widened her eyes in surprise, and Duanmu Huai snorted coldly.
“This is the ultimate fate of those who sell their souls to demons.”
The now visible Queen Mek bore no resemblance to the majestic and divine figure she was when she first appeared. Her pure white armor was completely shattered, revealing her body beneath – a red, ugly and distorted body just like the demon they had defeated in hell. Even her helmet was completely crushed, exposing her brain. Queen Mek’s face was now horribly distorted as if it had been run over by a steamroller.
“You, you won’t be able to kill me!”
As she struggled to move her body, Queen Mek glared viciously at them.
“Outside of my realm, I am immortal! Even if you kill me here, my soul will be reborn! Your efforts are futile! Next time, I will make you understand the true meaning of despair and pain, the great demon army will shatter your feeble resistance…”
“Heh, unkillable, huh?”
However, facing Queen Mek’s words, Duanmu Huai was surprisingly calm. He looked at her with interest and then made a gesture.
“What can I do for you, Sir Knight?”
Yes, this is the biggest reason why Righteous brought Felin along. As a Guardian who had sealed the Flame Demon Dragon for hundreds of years, Felin knew how to use seals well. You keep saying if we kill you, you will be revived? So we won’t kill you for now, we will completely destroy you once we find a way to do so, won’t we?
In the meantime, stay frosty in the cold storage!
As expected, hearing Duanmu Huai’s words, Queen Mek’s face instantly turned pale. However, before she could say anything else, Felin extended her hand. They saw the whistling snowstorm rise from the ground in an instant, covering Queen Mek’s huge body entirely, turning her into an ice sculpture. Ann also raised her hands, chanting a spell, then magic circles appeared around the ice sculpture, completely sealing it. This way, Felin didn’t have to maintain the seal with her life anymore.
“Humph, just as I thought.”
Looking at Queen Mek in front of him, Duanmu Huai snorted coldly. She was only just a bit troublesome, but for Duanmu Huai, it wasn’t too difficult to handle.
However, Duanmu Huai knew that things were not over yet.
The reason was simple – the task list was still hanging in front of him.
