Demon Man's Birth

"Chase? Or don't chase?"

Two options immediately appeared in Li Ye's mind.

At Magie's current movement speed, he could completely use Thunderclap Flash to eliminate the Chimera's corpse before Magie Friedman and capture Magie.

Or, he could let Magie Friedman absorb the Chimera, completely destroy Aleka's body, and engage in a battle with no suspense.

In short, save her or not.

"Tsk."

Li Ye spoke rapidly, "Miss Nitocris, do you think Aleka can still be saved?"

Aleka's body was occupied by Magie Friedman, who used magic to strengthen his power without regard for the consequences. This was undoubtedly draining Aleka's life. She was barely maintaining human form now, but Li Ye didn't know her internal state.

However, as a Magus himself, Nitocris would surely be able to see more and make a judgment.

Nitocris, standing beside him, had been observing while Li Ye fought Magie Friedman. Now that Li Ye asked, she immediately replied, "There's no saving her. That rude individual has already exhausted all the magic power in her body, even her internal structure is completely destroyed. She absolutely cannot survive."

"What if she were converted into an undead? As long as her magic circuits and basic thinking ability are preserved, it doesn't matter if she's not alive."

Just as their conversation ended, Magie Friedman had already rushed into the Chimera's corpse!

Instantly, blood gushed like a spring, and continuously growing flesh and blood enveloped Magie Friedman.

What drew the most attention was the soaring magic power reaction!

It had reached Li Ye's level, or was even faintly surpassing it!

'My magic power is B-rank. The immense magic power he obtained by sacrificing his life after merging with the Chimera's corpse can also reach this level—'

After receiving Nitocris's death sentence, Li Ye decisively gave up on saving Aleka and instead analyzed Magie Friedman's objective.

Fighting them now while occupying Aleka's body was completely unnecessary. He could have continued to lurk within Aleka's body and wait for an opportunity.

Yet, he chose such an irrational decision. Li Ye didn't understand.

'What is he hiding?'

The only thing Li Ye could think of was that Magie Friedman personally entered the fray to prevent Aleka from revealing any sensitive information.

'Interesting—'

With that thought, Li Ye calmly looked into the distance.

Scarlet liquid, like broken amniotic fluid, flowed sluggishly onto the yellow sand, and the newborn monster stretched its body freely.

There were no significant changes in its appearance, only that Aleka's clothes had completely dissolved. Strands of scarlet liquid clung to her entire body, exposing her small frame to the sandstorm.

What truly concerned Li Ye were the magic fluctuations, no less than his own, and the strange aura.

The next moment, flames ignited.

It was the Flame of Burning, which Li Ye was all too familiar with. The impression of a massacre instantly flashed in his mind.

Starting from Magie Friedman, the flames spread rapidly, as if intending to engulf this entire yellow desert!

The curse permeating the air had almost become tangible.

Thus, the Demon Man was born.

Magie Friedman's modification of Aleka's body was officially complete. After absorbing the Chimera, his body was greatly strengthened, and the injuries Li Ye had inflicted were all healed!

Gazing at Magie Friedman, Li Ye slowly lowered his stance.

There was no need for Nitocris to act; he could end this farce by himself.

[Thunderclap Flash]

Crimson lightning, like a dragon, instantly approached Magie Friedman!

"Wh—!"

Magie Friedman, who hadn't even reacted, was hit head-on like a speeding train. The immense force that erupted made it impossible for him to resist!

BOOM!!

A terrifying force, completely different from their previous encounter, crashed down!

Squelch—

The moment of contact, a soft sensation Li Ye hadn't anticipated, like hitting a pile of rotten flesh, pierced through without resistance!

This caused Li Ye to completely pass through Magie Friedman!

Magie Friedman, having successfully dodged Li Ye's attack, was instantly sent flying several meters away by the shockwave!

'Did he specialize his body's modifications?'

Li Ye, who had stopped, carefully recalled the sensation at that moment. If his speed hadn't been so great, he might have been enveloped by that mass of flesh and blood.

What would have happened then?

Digestion or assimilation?

Li Ye slightly turned his head, looking askance at the rapidly approaching Magie Friedman. "You barely managed to dodge my attack, and you're still rushing at me. Do you want to die so badly!"

Bang!

The purest clash of flesh and blood, each muffled thud exploding like thunder!

Li Ye also witnessed the terrifying strength Magie Friedman gained by recklessly draining its life force!

Even the momentary brilliance that bloomed after an ultimate burn!

Not only that, but the flames Magie Friedman used seemed to burn the spirit through the flesh!

Li Ye could clearly feel a faint, maddening curse attempting to twist his mental structure!

As if trying to transform him into a Crusader!

But these curses had no effect on Li Ye whatsoever!

Possessing the characteristic of Magic Resistance, Li Ye had extremely strong resistance to such curses!

After a few rounds, Magie Friedman was left a bloody mess by Li Ye. Even with the enhancement, it was still no match for Li Ye!

It was sent flying with a single punch!

"Is this all you've got! Hahahahaha—"

"With this, you can't even kill Aleka. Of course, killing Aleka won't get you what you want either!"

Magie Friedman, having narrowly escaped death, burst into laughter. It had completely given up on communicating with Li Ye and now only wanted to thoroughly humiliate him before Aleka died completely!

Facing Magie Friedman's humiliation, Li Ye's expression remained unchanged as he activated the Eyes of Death Perception.

The world once again unveiled itself to Li Ye, death within reach.

And in the center of his vision, within the monster named Magie Friedman—

Unlike Aleka's own death line, an extremely faint point of light flickered.

A terminus of death, completely different from the death line!

Without a doubt, that was Magie Friedman's death!

This time, Li Ye was no longer limited to the death of the physical body; he finally saw the death of soul information!

Zing—

Drawing his sword, Li Ye pointed it at Magie Friedman and slowly said, "I will kill you—"

Before he could finish speaking, Li Ye instantly vanished from his spot.

Seeing Li Ye's sudden move, Magie Friedman did not resign itself to fate and fought back with all its might!

But at this moment, all resistance was like a futile gesture before Li Ye!

In the blink of an eye, an arm flew off, and the gushing blood mist instantly ignited into raging flames!

A cold glint cut through the wind and sand, reflecting Magie Friedman's bewildered expression.

Squelch.

The sword edge pierced through its body, striking the death point precisely.

All magic power fluctuations instantly disappeared, as if they had never existed.

"What—is this?"

Magie Friedman's laughter abruptly ceased.

Li Ye's sinister whisper echoed in its ears, "I really want to know, can your true body survive?"

There was no response. The moment the sword pierced its body, Magie Friedman had already died.

What remained standing in its place was merely a corpse.
