At this moment, Wang Xiaole had the intention to settle the score with his opponent, but it seemed that time was running out.
The Bone Demon had already publicly announced abstention, and after that embarrassing shout echoed throughout the venue, it was already too late for anyone on stage to make a killer move.
After all, one of the rules was to protect any abstaining player, even if that player was from the demon clan.
And this rule happened to be Ledux's main justification for sending the Bone Demon to the stage.
After all, even if the demon couldn't defeat their opponent, was it not allowed to surrender to them?
If the rule was to have a fight to the death between the challengers, not to mention the Bone Demon, even Ledux wouldn't have the determination to go all out.
Now, as Wang Xiaole squinted his eyes, the focus of his attention gradually shifted from the fading white light in front of him to whether the Bone Demon could survive the previous blow and continue to struggle.
If the Bone Demon luckily survived, he would hope that his opponent could take advantage of the current unclear vision and ambush him once again, just like before;
And as long as the scene of the ambush played out, there were two certain results:
First:
Even if the opponent ambushed him ten more times, Wang Xiaole would not be injured.
Second:
Ambush, go ahead!
As long as the Bone Demon didn't give up and continued on the path of self-destruction, Wang Xiaole would have the excuse to eliminate the trouble in the name of self-defense...
Damn it! Give me some face and don't fall so easily. It would be best if you could bite back hard at the critical moment!
This muttered sentence sounded incredibly unbelievable to others.
Fortunately, there was no one around the young man at the moment, otherwise, it would definitely be misunderstood as sadism, just like a certain Holy Maiden.
The time for the reveal had come.
The pure white light that exploded at the position where the Bone Demon stood had now dimmed to a degree that would not affect vision.
The people below held their breath, and those on stage stared straight ahead. Unexpectedly, within the gradually dissipating light, a hand was raised!
"Lucky enough to survive..."
Wang Xiaole felt a sense of regret and prepared for the Bone Demon's sudden counterattack.
But he was quickly disappointed.
Speaking of being alive, the Bone Demon was indeed still breathing and did raise his hand in the previous moment.
However, it was not a standing position, as the withered arm swung and swayed, the Bone Demon was already lying on the ground.
This demon did not lie down because they were tired of standing and thought it would be more comfortable to lie down.
The redness covering the Bone Demon's body was not paint, and the numerous wounds were not drawn but rather real.
"Not dead, but definitely more out of breath than breathing in!"
Liu Caihua knew that the victory on the stage had already been decisively determined, and the only thing she had to do next was:
"The match is over, the winner is Wang Xiaole, three consecutive victories!"
This was the greatest victory achieved by the human camp in China against the demonic forces represented by the Elder Council.
Brilliant victory, thorough victory, unprecedented victory, leaving everyone in awe.
Up until just now, the power distribution within Dibiles has clearly undergone a tremendous change.
The three major forces: the royal family, the senate, and the "Church of the Supreme God".
Originally, the royal family was the weakest force. If it weren't for Isabella, who as the empress has been very capable, staunchly supporting the royal court, the royal family would have undoubtedly ceased to exist by now.
But even with a powerful empress in charge, it couldn't change the sad reality that the royal family remains the weakest among the three forces.
That is different now!
The power of the royal family hasn't fundamentally grown, but the senate has clearly weakened;
Not only have they lost in battle, but also the formidable image that the demons had built over centuries has been completely shattered by a sudden appearance of a human boy in less than two days.
The era of demons suppressing the royal family, starting from today, is long gone.
This is all thanks to one person, solely because of Wang Xiaole's unintentional actions, which greatly influenced the power dynamics within the country;
He is the greatest hero, this is something no one can deny!
Now Ledux must carefully consider:
How should he deal with the disastrous defeat of the fourth elder?
First, let's understand the situation Ledux is in.
The senate's power is formed by the "Elder Ten".
The "Elder Ten" consists of ten demons, five of whom have met their direct or indirect demise because of Wang Xiaole's appearance.
Last night, the fifth earth demon was killed by Lucia without a trace;
In this way, Ledux can only rely on the fourth elder as his subordinate.
Among the top three elders, aside from Ledux himself, the third elder rarely appears, and the first elder hasn't stepped out of the senate's doors for many years.
This means that in the future, if Ledux needs someone to do some dirty work, he can only rely on the bone demon, who has been severely beaten and is on the verge of death.
If he directly kills the bone demon... Ledux will become a true "figurehead".
If he doesn't, when Ledux goes out with the fourth elder in the future, he is bound to be ridiculed all the way.
You see, there were as many as 20,000 citizens who witnessed the defeat of the senate.
A total of forty thousand eyes (not counting the exceptions of cyclops), have deeply imprinted that unimpressive figure and even the appearance of the bone demon in their minds!
Ledux is caught in a dilemma, and as he hesitates, the bone demon lying on the stage faces his final misfortune.
From above, a winding beam of light descends from the sky, like a dazzling shooting star.
If this is an attack, although it may not appear magnificent from the outside, it undoubtedly carries an indescribable sacred aura.
As the beam of light approaches, the bone demon, who still cannot stand up, finally sees it clearly.
The essence of that beam of light is clearly an arrow formed by condensed light elements!
Using magic to gather elements and then convert them into tangible objects is an incredibly difficult thing to achieve.
The bone demon simply can't comprehend how powerful of a mage must be able to use light magic to such a masterful level?
And how did that powerful one happen to target himself?
Tch!
Even until he was shot, the Bone Demon couldn't figure out this puzzle, instead he felt a piercing pain that quickly spread from the arrow wound to his brain.
A gruesome cry resounded as it happened, and the placement of the arrow was so unlucky that it hit his knee.
This comical-like result not only made the Bone Demon scream like a pig being slaughtered;
In the blink of an eye, the thick, viscous light element, like liquid, pierced through the flesh from the arrowed knee, spreading at a terrifying speed and immediately taking over the Bone Demon's body.
After a scream of "ah", the Bone Demon exploded...
For demons, especially those who were already heavily injured, the light element was akin to a deadly poison.
Especially when a large amount of light element entered the body through the wound, the damage inflicted on individual demons became even more significant.
When the divine aura purified the Bone Demon's body completely, this unlucky fellow's body shattered like an exploded balloon, turning into fragments with a bang;
Those pieces of his body turned into dust before they even touched the ground, and with a gust of wind, not even a trace could be seen.
Congratulations to Ledux, he no longer has to be troubled by indecisiveness.
Because just now, the fourth elder in the Senate, the Bone Demon who was only second in power to the top three, was annihilated just like that.
Taking his life was Freya, who was lurking in the shadows!
In such a large venue, it was convenient for Freya to hide in a corner.
She had been silently hiding in an inconspicuous place since entering the arena, just to see what Lucia would do.
Freya's intention to hide was to be prepared to see the true face of this demon lord from behind Lucia, in order to gather evidence of her secret harm to humans.
However, after watching for about ten minutes, Freya didn't see Lucia make any moves. On the contrary, she spotted a target that had to be taken care of.
The target that she had her eye on was the Bone Demon!
Freya, who had dealt with demons before, could smell the bloody scent that lingered around the Bone Demon, even from several meters away.
That scent came from human blood, and based on this, Freya concluded:
The demon (Bone Demon) standing on the stage must have harmed many innocent people and is a truly evil demon filled with wickedness.
After all, Freya was a goddess, even if hunting demons was not her main duty, it still fell within her responsibility;
Staking her dignity as a divine being, as soon as the Bone Demon lay on the ground, she took out the crossbow hidden in her underwear;
At that moment, Freya secretly gathered some light element and formed an arrow on the bowstring. She aimed the arrow at the Bone Demon in the distance with a shooting motion.
The bow of the goddess of love could be used to fulfill lovers, as well as to take a life with a single arrow.
When it came to archery skills, there were only a few gods in the heavenly realm who could surpass Freya;
A distance of just a few meters was nothing to her, and making the shot hit the target was as easy as turning one's hand over.
Of course, the crucial point for Freya to kill with one arrow was the Bone Demon's weakened state after being heavily injured!
If it weren't for Wang Xiaole's battle, the Bone Demon would still be in a lively state, and even if the arrow hit, it would at most only wound his knee.
And that one arrow revealed Freya's weakness, because she hadn't pulled a bow and shot an arrow for a long time, her accuracy had dropped compared to the past.
Originally, Freya prepared to shoot an arrow into the chest of the demon clan, aiming for the knee, but it was a mistake caused by not doing the aiming properly...
Because of this sudden attack, the whole arena became chaotic.
People who were standing still immediately started moving their legs and spinning around in place, trying to figure out where the arrow was shot from.
Freya wanted to take advantage of the chaos and escape, but then remembered the guards stationed at the entrance, so she had to give up on the idea of fleeing.
