But there is no reason for Leducy to answer herself.
In his heart, he couldn't help but connect Wang Xiaole with the foreign aid invited by the queen from other countries, and became more vigilant.
It must also be stated:
The reason why he explained the forbidden curse to the Claw Demon and stopped his companion's misconduct was not because he was biased towards Wang Xiaole;
In fact, no matter who it is in the Senate, they all want to find an opportunity to smear their opponents and prove that the victory in the previous battle was obtained through despicable means;
But now it can't be done because the facts are too different.
Leducy just feels that:
The roaring and shouting of the Claw Demon, who is ignorant and narrow-minded, will make the Senate even more humiliated, so he quickly explains to let the sixth shut up quickly...
Regardless of whether the Claw Demon admits it or not, he lost the bet, even if the opponent used the forbidden curse midway, it is definitely not a violation of the promise;
After all, the effect of the forbidden curse is not defense or active counterattack, it is only used to rebound attacks!
The requirement of "not dodge or evade within three moves" has been fully achieved by Wang Xiaole.
According to the promise made by the Claw Demon before:
He has to roll off the ring obediently, and no one forced him to make an oath, the contents of the bet were entirely based on the principle of fairness and voluntariness.
But on the other hand, if he ends up in such a miserable situation unilaterally, it is probably not easy to explain on Leducy's side;
Just when the Claw Demon was in trouble, I don't know what Wang Xiaole was thinking, suddenly raised his lower lip and lifted his upper lip:
"Are you in trouble? Worried that after leaving the stage directly, you won't have any good fruits to eat? It's okay, I'm willing to help!"
No one can count how many times Wang Xiaole has made concessions, especially this time's concession seems particularly timely.
It must be understood:
The Claw Demon had prepared for being untrustworthy, thinking that even if he didn't want this face, he must stay on the stage;
But now the opponent kindly handed out an "olive branch". Naturally, the Claw Demon was overjoyed and continued the conversation without much thought:
"Yeah, yeah, I don't want to leave, I think the sun on the stage is the most comfortable..."
"Well, if you like it, then stay."
Before the Claw Demon could even show an obscene smile, Wang Xiaole followed up and added:
"But let's make it clear: my concession is not unconditional! I don't know if you remember: I mentioned an additional condition at the beginning of the agreement."
"Oh, you mean the requirement to call me 'grandma' after losing?"
Sister Glasses timely added, adding a sense of presence.
Upon hearing this, the Claw Demon's face turned green, he is not a Green Devil, but the degree of change in his complexion is so exaggerated.
"Call... grandma? Are you kidding me? It seems like your age is not even one-twentieth of mine, and I can bear it even if you ask me to call you grandma."
"Well, I don't care! As long as you are willing to call, I can bear it;
If you think that title is too shameful, there are other options such as 'ancestress', 'great-grandmother', 'ancestor', etc."
Now Wang Xiaole absolutely believes:
Among the many titles, there must be one that is suitable for the opposite demon.
"Call one, call one, call one!"
The audience clapped their hands, starting a perfect synchronous rhythm of cheering, shouting, and voices.
Countless examples have proven:
Never underestimate the enthusiasm of the masses for watching the show.
Claw Demon sensed that something was off in the atmosphere and quickly exchanged a pleading glance with their companion behind, hoping that some of the demons would have a change of heart and help them out.
Among them, the Bone Demon was a representative, able to see the sky, the ground, and even scan the sparrows flying overhead;
But no one had the intention of shifting their gaze and looking towards the stage, because they knew from the very beginning that these guys were not to be relied upon.
Left with no other choice, Claw Demon approached Wang Xiaole and took a few steps closer, whispering in a voice that outsiders couldn't hear:
(Softly) "Gr-granny..."
"Louder, as an 'elder', I'm hard of hearing!"
Indeed, being an "elderly person" brought many conveniences, and whether or not the person in question had good hearing had become a completely unimportant matter.
Claw Demon was so frustrated that they even contemplated killing the other person (provided they were able to win the fight);
But ultimately, they had dug their own pit and chosen their own path. Now, who would lose face if not themselves?
(Slightly louder) "Gr-granny..."
"Louder still, don't just let me be the only one who can hear you. Everyone here wants to hear."
As if echoing this statement, Sister Glasses and tens of thousands of onlookers emphatically nodded in agreement.
One's face is like their integrity; when lost for the first or second time, it may feel uncomfortable, but by the third time, one gradually grows accustomed to it.
As if ready to give up all sense of shame, Claw Demon gathered their breath, tilted their head back, and shouted to the heavens:
"Gran-ny!"
"Gran-ny yourself!"
Wang Xiaole slapped Claw Demon's head with one hand, scolding them in a manner that was no different from scolding a disobedient grandson. It was almost as if they were role-playing, but that would make the scene too immersive.
There was only one reason for the "elderly person" to get angry:
"Can't you speak properly? Why do you only say one word when addressing me? You must connect the second word and shout it out with a roar that shakes the air, only then will it have momentum!"
Indeed, with that approach, there would be momentum, but the more important things in their heart would shatter;
Claw Demon couldn't take it anymore. Shouting a single word was their limit. Continuing to force themselves would be worse than burying themselves alive.
Seeing Claw Demon's reaction, Wang Xiaole was momentarily perplexed and sank into deep thought. After a long while, their numerous thoughts turned into a lingering sigh:
"If you don't want to shout, then forget it. A grandson's will cannot be violated. As a relatively open-minded granny, I will never force that will."
After the sigh, they waved their hand nonchalantly, with an expression of sorrow as if facing an unfilial grandson, and declared in a mournful voice:
"From now on, I will pretend that I don't have such a grandson like you!"
"I..."
What more was there to listen to? Claw Demon couldn't ignore the one-sided performance and couldn't help but turn their head back.
In that instant, Wang Xiaole's expression became surprised:
"Eh, have you changed your mind? Do you want to be a good grandson to granny again? Good boy, good boy."
Their soft hand lifted up, reaching and touching the fur on Claw Demon's head...
In the end, Claw Demon didn't become straightforward and happily shout "granny".
But it doesn't matter, because in fact, everything that should be lost has been lost, and there is nothing left.
In the midst of it, a little episode occurred, and then the battle continued.
Ledosu had endured the burden brought by two unreliable companions until now, all for this moment, for the opportunity to counterattack.
"Number Six, I'll help you!"
Purple-black smoke suddenly billowed up in mid-air, rolling and churning like a worm shrinking and expanding; its appearance and spread were very sudden;
Those who understand its secrets would realize that the dense smoke is the result of magic energy vaporization.
The large amount of magical smoke did not spread randomly, but instead converged with purpose, all rushing towards the location of the demon.
Boom!
Unbelievably, the gas attack on the stage caused such a shocking roar;
Rather than the lethality of the magic itself, it should be understood as Ledosu's own ability, which was not easily obtained as the second-ranking member of the Elder Council.
Just a part of the magic transformed into smoke, it possessed a terrifying momentum, causing every pore of the demon within the purple-black to instantly open!
Since the smoke was transformed by magic, as long as it was absorbed by a member of the demon clan, it would naturally enhance their strength;
The vast unknown mist had no tendency to hold back, pouring in without leaving a trace;
The magical fluctuations shaking the high platform were obviously much stronger than before.
"Roar!"
Strengthened, the demon was clearly different from before.
With a roar, it could agitate the surrounding airflow, and with its roar, the stone fragments on the ground rose up;
What's the difference?
According to Wang Xiaole's analysis, it was like a normal Second Dog that had been strengthened and turned into a "Dark Second Dog," becoming much more ferocious.
"Roar! Thank you!"
The demon understood Ledosu's intentions and also understood that it had welcomed its last chance.
Ledosu had extracted such a tremendous amount of magic from her own body and temporarily transferred it to him, which made him realize the stakes involved.
If after undergoing such strengthening, she could not achieve satisfactory results in the eyes of the Elder Council, a cruel and merciless scene would inevitably happen on the scene.
"Do you dare to cheat in front of me!?"
Sister Glasses looked at Ledosu with an unfriendly gaze, and Ledosu temporarily threw away her polite side and put on an unscrupulous face.
"The rules don't allow gang fights, but I've never stepped onto the stage. At most, I have just provided assistance from the side. Where did I violate the rules?"
It seemed that the Elder Council was clearly determined to be shameless to the end.
Sister Glasses wanted to use her power as a referee, but time was running out, and the two sides on the stage immediately began to fight.
Having gained power, the demon's arrogance became even more rampant, and it didn't waste any more time with its opponent, immediately leaping towards it.
Since the demon had decided to use physical attacks, the other side could no longer continue to use forbidden spells and could only continue to engage in hand-to-hand combat as before.
Facing the onslaught, Wang Xiaole's pretty face remained calm;
Only to see her right hand suddenly clenching its five fingers, her arm swelling as she threw a punch, faint divine power condensing into a whirlpool shape on her fist, and then reflexively blasting at the edge of the approaching claw.
Boom!
It exploded.
This is not a metaphor. In a split second when the fist and the sharp claws in front made contact, a violent shockwave immediately spread out, igniting the air along the way, creating a choking thick smoke.
It was as if Wang Xiaole had just ignited the gunpowder with his own hands, and the resulting fuse turned into a fire snake, coiling up along the extended arm.
The power inside his body immediately covered Wang Xiaole's arm, and the effect on the skin was a flickering stream of light flowing through.
Then the fire snake was extinguished, the clothes at the arm position were torn, and the person was unharmed.
