"Ato, go give it a try."
"No problem, Queen. But this human's upgrade looks like nothing but a flashy sham."
"I'll be the one to put an end to this joke."
Ato raised the Flame Sword and slowly walked toward the Demon Claws.
Clatter...
The tip of the Flame Sword dragged across the ground, leaving a long red streak.
This time, he was not fighting Lin Ye, so Ato felt no psychological burden at all.
"Ready?"
Lin Ye glanced at Ato and lightly aimed his palm at him.
After Ato nodded, Lin Ye clenched his hand.
Whoosh—!
The Demon Claws shot straight at Ato, transforming into two fan-like palms that trapped him between them.
Trifling tricks!
A cold glint flashed in Ato's eyes as he raised the Flame Sword and hacked wildly!
Slashing, thrusting, chopping!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The collisions between the Flame Sword and the Demon Claws scattered sparks through the laboratory like fireworks.
Amid the repeated clashes, fine cracks appeared across the surface of the Flame Sword, as though it could no longer withstand the Demon Claws' impacts.
Lin Ye applied a little force, and his two hands suddenly clapped together.
Smack!
Following Lin Ye's motion, the Demon Claws slammed Ato like they were swatting a mosquito!
Pfft!
Ato spat out blood and fell from the air.
Blood seeped from all over his body, staining him crimson. Even his Dark Silver Wings had been broken.
With a loud bang, he crashed heavily onto the ground.
The surrounding demons stared, dumbfounded by the sight.
Ato was a Demon Commander, after all. Was he really being toyed with so easily by the Demon Claws?
And it was not over yet.
Lin Ye clenched toward the Flame Sword. With two whooshes, the Demon Claws flew toward it from the front and rear.
The Flame Sword, which could cut through anything, shattered after just a light touch.
"Holy crap, am I seeing ghosts in broad daylight?"
"Yeah, how did the Flame Sword get smashed after just a few vibrations?"
The demons stared at the Demon Claws beside Lin Ye, unable to figure it out.
At this moment, the Demon Claws in Lin Ye's hands were like two adorable pets, happily circling and dancing around him.
Queen Morgana watched quietly, her eyes equally filled with deep confusion.
Just what the hell had this brat done?
His cracking speed was one thing, but had he really upgraded the Demon Claws?
No, no. I have to test them myself.
Thinking that, Queen Morgana raised her hand and fired a pitch-black Dark Silver chain!
The sharp chain aimed at Lin Ye's chest and shot straight toward him!
Whoosh!
Lin Ye's ears twitched. Without even turning his head, he reached out.
The Demon Claws flew out to meet the Dark Silver chain, and the two began fighting in midair.
Lin Ye himself did not have much experience fighting with weapons.
But during this clash with Queen Morgana, his combat experience was skyrocketing.
Like a robot evolving at high speed, he mimicked every move Queen Morgana made.
As he fought Queen Morgana, his attack techniques improved rapidly, and his grasp of timing became increasingly precise!
Suddenly.
Lin Ye seized the moment when Queen Morgana adjusted her stance and moved both hands at once.
The Demon Claws instantly shot out and grabbed the Dark Silver chain at its center!
Clang!
Like a snake, the Dark Silver chain was suddenly pulled taut.
Violent sparks burst everywhere, accompanied by an ear-piercing screech!
No matter how Queen Morgana controlled the Dark Silver chain, she could not break free of the Demon Claws.
All she could do was leave deep claw marks across the Dark Silver chain's surface.
"Is there any need to continue?"
The battle in the sky had already been decided, and Lin Ye withdrew his gaze.
Queen Morgana's face twisted almost imperceptibly.
Had this brat really upgraded her Demon Claws?
Their kinetic power and precision had both improved.
Even without Demon One's engine, this guy could fight her evenly.
"You win, kid."
Queen Morgana withdrew the Dark Silver chain, unwilling to keep fighting Lin Ye.
She was a little worried that if the battle continued, Lin Ye would grow to a terrifying extent.
During their earlier fight, she had watched Lin Ye go from fighting like a child stumbling and scrambling around to reaching a level nearly equal to hers.
It was like a black hole that could swallow anything.
And after swallowing it, Lin Ye could perfectly digest it.
This guy was truly a little terrifying.
"Then what about our previous promise?" Lin Ye smiled faintly.
He was really curious how Queen Morgana would praise Holy Kaisha.
"What promise? What promise are you talking about? I don't know anything about it." Queen Morgana put on an innocent expression and spread her hands, as if she knew nothing.
"Yeah, our Queen never said anything!" The surrounding demons began to chime in.
Lin Ye frowned slightly. "That's rather dishonorable."
At those words, the surrounding demons burst into laughter.
A promise? What was that worth?
You worked for free, and you still wanted something?
You wanted Queen Morgana to praise Holy Kaisha?
Keep dreaming!
"Lin Ye, we demons never needed to follow rules. Can't we just tear up an agreement?"
Queen Morgana wore a teasing expression, as though she were teaching Lin Ye a lesson.
"In that case, I'll make you keep your promise willingly."
Lin Ye did not react much. With a light wave of his hand, the Demon Claws flew back to Queen Morgana's side.
Then Lin Ye instructed a demon to bring Lingxi over.
The demon hesitated for a moment, but under Lin Ye's pressure, he could only nod in agreement.
At that moment.
"Tsk, tsk. I haven't even drawn up the blueprint for the next generation of Demon Claws, and Lin Ye already made them for me."
Queen Morgana circled the Demon Claws once, her gaze quite satisfied.
She tapped the Demon Claws with her fingers, producing crisp clanging sounds.
Just from the sound, she could tell Lin Ye had put real effort into them.
"Queen, show us how to use the Demon Claws!"
A demon shouted loudly.
Queen Morgana smiled. "What are you shouting for? But your Queen is in a good mood, so I'll show you the proper way to use the Demon Claws."
As she spoke, she slowly raised both hands, drawing a circle with her left hand and a loop with her right.
But awkwardly enough.
The Demon Claws lay where they were, completely unmoving.
Hey, what was going on?
Queen Morgana frowned and used the access code in her mind to communicate with the Demon Claws.
She discovered that the access code she had set before no longer worked.
Could that brat have done this?
Queen Morgana turned around and saw the amused expression on Lin Ye's face.
"Take a guess. The access code is easy to guess. Just think about which faction I belong to."
Lin Ye smiled. At that moment, Lingxi arrived as well.
"Everyone's here, so I'll be leaving first."
Lin Ye rose and walked to Lingxi's side, placing one hand on her shoulder.
With a light wave of his other hand, a spatial wormhole appeared aboard Demon One.
"Goodbye, Queen."
Lin Ye smiled at Queen Morgana, then leaped into the wormhole with Lingxi.
"Stop that bastard!"
Queen Morgana seemed to have figured out Lin Ye's access code, and her face immediately flushed red.
The surrounding demons all leaped toward the wormhole.
Ato was the first to approach, carrying his greatsword. He swung down with it, but struck empty air.
The wormhole had closed.
"Damn it, that kid really doesn't act like a human!"
Queen Morgana gritted her teeth in fury and kicked the Demon Claws.
What kind of bullshit access code was that?
It absolutely had something to do with that bitch Holy Kaisha!
