Chapter 321 Three Free Attacks (1/2)
”This is indeed quite troublesome. How can I kill that thing if it can survive even with a hole in its face?” Yuan sighed.
”I'm sorry, Yuan, but let's give up on going to the city for now and return to my grandparents to see if there's anything we can do about this situation. Although I have the power to defeat that demon, I don't have the power to kill it.” Lan Yingying said to him.
”Wait a second, Miss Lan. You mentioned Sword Aura. Are demons afraid of Sword Aura or something? Maybe I can still…”
However, Lan Yingying shook her head and said, ”No, the demons are not afraid of Sword Aura in general. Instead, they are specifically afraid of the Lord's Sword Aura. Before leaving this world, the Lord created these Sword Aura barriers around every city and the Divine Forest to protect them from the demons.”
”As for why they're afraid of the Lord's Sword Aura… It's simply because the Lord's Sword Aura is so powerful that if a demon touches it, they will be destroyed until there's nothing left of them. No matter how powerful their regeneration abilities may be, if you destroy their bodies until there's not even a hair left, there won't be anything to regenerate from.”
”I see… Then are there any more methods that can be used to kill demons?” Yuan asked.
”Besides completely erasing their existence, you need techniques with divine attributes such as my Sacred Fire.”
”Techniques, huh?” Yuan mumbled.
”Hm?”
He suddenly recalled the Heaven-grade technique he'd learned at Myriad of Techniques— the Demon Sealing Strike.
”What about sealing demons? Can we seal them with techniques?” Yuan then asked.
”Demon sealing techniques? Those are incredibly rare and hard to learn, but yes, sealing a demon is akin to killing them.” Lan Yingying nodded.
”I understand. Let me fight this demon. I think I'll be able to defeat it.” Yuan said to her as he retrieved the Empyrean Overlord.
”What?! You want to fight that demon?! Don't do it! It has the strength of a peak Spirit Master, and you don't meet the requirements to kill it!”
”It's okay. I just want to try something.” Yuan said with a smile on his face.
”Oh? You're approaching me?” The demon was pleasantly surprised when Yuan began walking towards it.
”Don't tell me that you're planning on fighting me— a demon?” The grin on the demon's face grew wider.
”That's right,” Yuan responded with a calm look on his face, and he continued, ”I won't be able to defeat you unless I get closer.”
”HAHAHAHA! You're truly an amusing human! Normally, when a human sees me, they turn and run the opposite direction while shitting their own pants!”
After laughing for a moment, the demon suddenly stopped and narrowed its eyes at Yuan with a vicious expression.
”With that being said, who the fuck do you think you are, human? Do you really think you can defeat me when you couldn't kill me with a surprise attack? This is why I despise humans. They're incredibly arrogant and stupid at the same time.” The demon looked at Yuan with clear disdain.
Yuan didn't respond to the demon this time, and he continued to approach it with a resolute expression on his face.
