Absolute Speed ​​of a Certain Anime

Pain was furious and was about to scream.

But suddenly I found that I could no longer speak.

A thin silver line appeared on his body, then expanded little by little, like the light of a holy sword, burning his body and spirit bit by bit.

Paine ascended to heaven with a mind full of confusion.

"……interesting."

The old devil snorted.

He folded his hands, supporting his chin, with a triumphant and proud smile on his face.

"I have to admit that your strength is beyond my imagination! Just now, even I couldn't see through your true strength. How did you do it?"

"When swordsmanship reaches a very high level, all life, undead spirits, and energy are reduced to shredded bones and flesh."

Jiang Li walked a short distance and came to the bottom of the throne.

He looked up at the tall old devil with a half-smile on his face.

"Your heart rate is rapidly increasing, your sweat glands are firing, and your fingers are shaking so hard you don't even notice a bruise from pinching them. This is proof that you're very nervous."

Jiang Li walked up the stairs, approaching the old devil step by step.

"So you haven't given up yet. You're trying to buy time until the cadres below react and come up to surround and suppress me, right?"

Chapter 494: Did I do something wrong by killing the Demon King right after arriving?

"Wow, that's amazing! Can a top swordsman even see through something like this?"

The old devil exclaimed subconsciously.

Then he came to his senses, cleared his throat, and his expression returned to calm again.

"Interesting, you can actually see through my condition. Your incredible nature is even more terrifying than I imagined!"

"You've already said something similar."

"This is a sense of ritual! How can the duel between the hero and the demon king be without a sense of ritual!"

The old devil looked dissatisfied.

"Listen carefully. Every generation of Demon Kings will never refuse an adventurer who comes to them demanding a one-on-one duel. This is a required course for any Demon King and an important part of their ritual... Hey, what are you looking at?"

Jiang Li began to feel that the person sitting in the position of Demon King was a little mentally retarded.

"Then you can accept my challenge?"

"Ahem, in principle there is no problem."

"What about in reality?"

“I haven’t lived enough.”

The devil answered instantly, with a straightforward expression.

"...Aren't you the Demon King?"

Jiang Li was speechless, "Is it really okay to be so scared?"

"Even the devil is afraid of death."

The old devil sighed, his face full of regret.

"I have a daughter in her prime, very beautiful and filial. She's my proud heir... Did you have a strange reaction just now?"

"No."

"But I saw your eyes light up?"

"Have it?"

Jiang Li asked in surprise.

Stop slandering me, my eyes have just brightened up, and I don’t know it myself?

"Uh, well, if you say no, then no."

The old devil looked at the knife raised in front of him with a sincere expression of "You are right".

"Let's get back to the point. As a Demon King, I'm not good at fighting. I'm better at protecting monsters. Also, I'm very old and no longer at my peak. Most of my strength has been inherited by my daughter. If we really fought, I'd only be slightly stronger than the Dark Knight just now. I'd definitely be killed by you in an instant..."

According to the old demon king, when he was at his peak, he could strengthen an entire army to cadre-level strength. In other words, he could create dozens or hundreds of Lv. 5 adventurers.

Good god, Jiang Li was shocked when he heard it.

With so many Lv.5s, I'm afraid they can easily defeat Orario!

This is the most powerful ability of the old demon king - Monster Blessing. He himself does not have much strength, but he relies on this ability to sit firmly on the throne of the demon king and make his subordinates convinced of him.

But after so many years, the Demon King has grown old, no longer at his peak, and his body has become weak.

In addition, most of the protection abilities that he was proud of were inherited by his daughter, so the military-level protection could only be used on more than ten people.

If it was a Demon King in his prime, Jiang Li would not be able to make him retreat so easily.

But now he has become much weaker and is no longer the big devil who can call the wind and rain.

The old devil lamented that time was no longer there, and his yellow beast eyes were filled with a sense of decadence as the sun was setting.

Time passes by every second.

"Father!"

An anxious shout came from a distance.

The old devil's expression suddenly brightened with joy.

"Looks like you've stalled long enough."

Jiang Li said this upon seeing this.

"You know I'm stalling for time, why do you let me talk?"

The old devil no longer referred to himself as "I", but he looked at Jiang Li in confusion.

Having lived to such an old age, he still has a knack for judging people. Jiang Li doesn't seem like the kind of person who would fail at the last moment due to his arrogance.

"Your experience has given me some inspiration."

Jiang Li looked relaxed.

"Even if one is as powerful as the invincible, it still pales in comparison to time. The strongest will eventually decay, and the invincible will be destroyed by history... Indeed, if one wants to pursue eternal power, does one have to achieve immortality?"

He is still young and has only been on the path of cultivation for more than half a year.

What to do after becoming the strongest in the world?

He had never thought about this kind of question before.

All along, he has been running wildly on the road to becoming stronger. Although he occasionally looks at the scenery along the way, he has never thought about what to do after reaching the end.

Being the strongest is not absolute, and the great enemy called time stands at the end.

No one, even the strongest, can defeat time.

Unless it transcends time.

"I don't know what you're feeling, but it seems like you can't kill me today!"

A smile reappeared on the old devil's face.

A series of footsteps came from outside the room.

"Father, are you okay?"

The owner of the voice then stepped into the room.

Along with it came the aura of many monsters, some strong and some weak.

"Perhaps you haven't noticed, but I've actually been not only stalling for time, but I've also been secretly chanting magic. Yes, it's the one known as the most powerful auxiliary magic!"

The old devil opened his mouth confidently.

"—Teleport!"

The old demon king has a high level of magical attainments.

While he was talking to Jiang Li, he had already composed the spell!

"Hey!"

Jiang Li slashed out with a knife.

In his eyes, magic power was flowing in the old demon king's body in a certain fixed order.

He slashed out.

The moment the blade penetrated the Demon King's body, the flow of magical power was cut off.

——“Nothing can be left uncut.”

This is the second effect of Jiang Li's [Sword God] skill.

In front of a swordsman who has reached his level, ghosts are nothing more than energy life forms, and magic is nothing more than a form of energy.

It can be broken with one sword.

“Father——?!!”

A shrill scream was heard.

The old devil lowered his head in astonishment, looking at the sword that had already penetrated his chest, and was speechless for a long time.

"...Even magic can be interrupted... This kind of swordsman..."

If he was only hit by a knife, as long as it was not a fatal injury, he could use recovery magic to heal himself.

The premise is that the teleportation magic can work.

But actually using a knife to cut off magic... Even the legendary sword god couldn't do such a thing, right?

This is probably the only thing that can be said about Arabian Nights.

Strength drained from him.

The old devil closed his eyes full of regret, and his tall body slowly fell down, falling down the stairs one level at a time to the ground below.

This marked the end of the old era.

"You bastard! —Inferno!"

Along with the angry curses, violent magic power burst out in all directions.

An astonishing heat wave swept through the entire room in an instant, and the dark flames turned into a tornado and rushed towards Jiang Li from behind!

Jiang Li swung his knife back.

A silent blow cut the dark flames in half in the blink of an eye.

"is that a lie?"

The woman let out a moan filled with shock.

The most powerful fire-attributed advanced magic was actually cut off by a single sword?

Jiang Li ignored the flames that seemed to be cut off by a reef in the sea.

He turned and looked at the large black throne in front of him.

Then he sat down on it.

There was silence in the room.
