The female demon completely shattered under this sudden assault. The stimulation far exceeded anything she’d felt before, electrifying her to the core.
Her brain, nearly numb from the current, flooded with feminine hormones. Her tightly clenched thighs trembled uncontrollably. The paralyzing force of the lightning left her utterly powerless.
"To fight a boss of your caliber without using ‘Awakening’? I had to use my head."
"Dungeons demand brains, not just brute force. A mind is a terrible thing to waste… *pity you lack one*."
"Means may be underhanded, but results justify them, don’t they?"
Mu Yi’s gaze locked onto the trembling, porcelain mounds straining against the dragon-claw restraints of the lightning cage. Her body still spasmed from the shocks, the soft flesh grotesquely squeezed between metallic talons. Especially when she turned her head away, twisting her serpentine curves in shame—
Mu Yi’s throat went desert-dry. He licked his parched lips. *Damn. She’s a certified goddess.*
No NPC in the entire game matched her allure. Not even the prettiest female players held a candle to her.
But goddess or not—she was still a world boss. And world bosses died.
*(Mu Yi’s thoughts: Bosses respawn in later runs. No biggie~~)*
"Until next time, Miss Demon."
Mu Yi brushed dust off his clothes, stepping toward the cage with theatrical regret. He raised his gun, the muzzle pressing against her temple.
*Ah, right. Never got to explore the mysteries of male and female bodies with her. Maybe next time.*
『MASTER!! GET AWAY FROM HER!!!』
Aiva’s scream ripped through the air as she prepared the dimensional rift behind him. *He fell for it! That trapped demon—*
***BOOM!!***
The firing pin struck. Muzzle flash blazed—
Then absolute darkness swallowed the hot spring valley. Pitch black. Zero visibility. Only the fading gunpowder glow and the flickering lightning cage cast faint light.
***CRACKLE—***
A tearing sound split the void. The lightning cage shattered like glass. Thunder-serpents disintegrated into sparking particles. Arcs of electricity writhed across the ground, fracturing the earth into glowing fissures.
"Broken free?" Mu Yi’s eyes narrowed at the dissipating cage.
Even with speed rivaling his own, she was still a mage. How could a frail caster brute-force her way out?
"Who said mages can’t fight up close?"
A silvery voice whispered at his back. Bone-chilling killing intent froze his spine.
A shadow surged behind him. The air screamed.
Mu Yi twisted—but she was faster.
"You lose, human."
A fleeting whiff of orchid filled his nostrils. A spiked tail, faster than sight, pierced his heart from behind.
***SHATTER!***
The darkness exploded like broken glass. Light flooded back.
Mu Yi hung limp in the air, impaled through the chest by a sleek black tail tipped with venomous barbs.
"You forced me into such… *shameful* states. No human has done that in centuries."
A faint blush lingered beneath her mask. That soul-shocking current had electrified every sensitive nerve. She gritted her teeth, recalling the almost unbearable pleasure—how close she’d come to losing control.
"I’ll let you keep your little victory. It’s only a corpse anyway."
Her fury cooled as she stared at the lifeless body. No need to rage at the dead.
"One stray creature left." Her gaze snapped to the blue-haired girl chanting in the corner. No human life signs—just a humanoid anomaly.
"You’re strong. But you underestimated my master."
Aiva’s eyes stayed shut, a serene smile on her lips. Silver data streams spiraled around her like a wormhole, rings of light coalescing at its core. She ignored the demon entirely, focused on the dimensional escape Mu Yi had ordered.
"What?" The demon blinked. *Is this thing broken? I just killed her master. Look—his corpse dangles from my tail!*
"My master has never tasted defeat. Not now. Not ever."
Aiva opened her eyes. Liquid devotion swam in their depths.
*He alone holds the title ‘Demon King.’ He haunts players’ nightmares.*
*In PVP? He’s the undisputed No.1 on the 1v1 global leaderboard.*
*This duel was over before it began.*
