Villains Die from Talking Too Much

However, it's too late to regret it now. To avoid losing all his investment, Naiser's only option is to fight to the death and pursue victory.

As Naiser thought this, he quickened his pace to catch up, and at that moment, Xiao Yu also flew to the vicinity of the 'sun'.

This sun was only a few thousand meters in diameter; it was more like a Greater Fireball than a sun. However, although the sun was small, the elemental power inside was substantial. As Xiao Yu approached the sun, he immediately unleashed his long-treasured ultimate move.

Elemental Absorption!

In an instant, all the elemental power around him surged into Xiao Yu's body. Of course, the wind, water, and earth elements were very few, and the main element was fire. The source of that fire power was the miniature sun in front of him.

Flames surged from the sun, like a solar storm, and hurtled towards Xiao Yu, transforming into elemental power that surged wildly into his body. Xiao Yu felt the elemental power within him gradually recover, and he felt an unprecedented sense of comfort. However, at this moment, Naiser caught up with him.

Not wanting to be interrupted by his elemental absorption ritual, Xiao Yu thought to himself. He continued to absorb power from the sun with one hand, while raising the other. The power of fire condensed in his palm and transformed into a laser-like beam of fire that shot towards Naiser.

"Open for me!" Naiser unleashed a powerful slash with his sword, bracing himself against the fiery ray.

Naiser's Dark Ripper lived up to its reputation as the strongest weapon in the universe. With this one strike, it actually cleaved the flame ray in two, and the flames spread out to both sides from the edge of the Dark Ripper. Naiser raised the Dark Ripper and charged towards Xiao Yu in one breath.

(Holy crap, is this even possible?) Xiao Yu thought in shock. Seeing the Dark Ripper slashing towards him, Xiao Yu had no choice but to give up absorbing elemental power. He flew around the sun while continuously releasing Hammer of Chaos and Chaos Missile behind him. Naiser, however, was in hot pursuit, desperately trying to land a blow.

He seemed to have used some kind of superhuman ability, desperately chasing after Xiao Yu.

The two chased and fled, circling the sun. Suddenly, Xiao Yu had a thought. He sensed Ragnaros's presence. He had previously asked Ragnaros to find a place to hide because the sun was full of flames, which was perfect for fire elementals to hide in. So he had Ragnaros hide here. Now, this little trick had finally had a chance to come in handy.

Xiao Yu suddenly lowered his altitude, flying a few meters above the surface of the sun. Naiser, unaware of the trap, followed suit. As the two passed over the sun's surface one after the other, Xiao Yu silently gave Ragnaros a command.

"Big Screw, come to my rescue!"

"Understood, Master. I'll be there right away."

Sensing Ragnaros's thoughts, Xiao Yu felt relieved. However, Ragnaros was engulfed in flames, making it impossible to discern its location on the sun or which direction he should fly towards. Just as he was getting anxious, Naiser, who had been chasing him, disappeared without a trace.

(Huh, what's going on? Did he give up?) While Xiao Yu was wondering, he didn't stop moving forward. Just as he was wondering, a black light suddenly flashed in front of him, and a figure appeared in his flight path. Because the speed was too fast, he didn't have time to brake. He saw a cold light slashing towards him. Who else could it be but Naiser?

It turned out that Naiser had been following Xiao Yu for a few laps when he suddenly realized that there was no point in continuing the chase. He suddenly remembered a scene from an animated film he had watched as a child, and an idea came to him. He simply stopped the pursuit and stayed where he was, waiting. Since the sun was spherical, Xiao Yu ended up flying back to the same spot after circling around, and ended up running right into Naiser's blade.

Xiao Yu dodged to the side at the last second, and the sword severed his left arm along with a third of his body.

-5738121!

The huge, bright red numbers couldn't compare to the shock Xiao Yu felt at having his body cleaved in two.

I'm going to die! I'm going to die!

At that moment, the system notification sound was unusually clear.

War Data Notification: You have received a fatal attack, triggering the Execute effect. A resilience check was performed. If the resilience check passed, you resisted the Execute. However, the critical injury effect was triggered, and the check failed, resulting in critical injury and a 30% reduction in all attributes.

Xiao Yu was terrified. Where did this Naiser come from? Fortunately, elemental creatures are quite resilient. Although this sword strike took away more than five million of his health, it didn't kill him. As long as he didn't die, that was fine.

But the battle isn't over yet.

With a Spatial Confinement his left hand, Naiser imprisoned Xiao Yu in mid-air, while raising the Dark Ripper in his right hand, a rare confident smile appearing in his eyes.

"Buddy, this has nothing to do with personal grudges. You were just in my way, and now you've missed your chance. You fought well, but compared to me, you're still a bit lacking—sorry!"

As he uttered the words "sorry," he also thrust his sword towards Xiao Yu's elemental core.

If that sword were to pierce through, even if Xiao Yu were an elemental being, he would probably be Execute. However, just like in many movies, when the protagonist is about to die, someone always comes to his rescue.

Just as the Dark Ripper was about to pierce the Elemental King's body, a gigantic arm suddenly emerged from the scorching flames of the sun behind Naiser. The giant hand, composed entirely of lava and fire, grabbed Naiser, who was facing away from the sun, and pulled him directly into the sun.

Instantly, the Spacetime Confinement vanished, and Xiao Yu regained his freedom.

Watching Naiser disappear into the flames, Xiao Yu burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, now you know how powerful I am! You foolish Nephalem!" Xiao Yu said, grabbing the severed half of the body and reattaching it. Because it was an energy body, it could instantly revert to its original state. Watching Naiser and Ragnaros fighting in the flames of the sun, he felt a chill of fear. Luckily, Naiser was a bit of a show-off; at the last moment, he insisted on saying a few boastful lines like a villain from a movie, even apologizing. Apologize my ass! If you hadn't said those lines, you would have just cut me down, and I would be dead for sure!

You really think you're the villain? Looks like even if you're going to be a villain, you can't be like the villains in movies. Villains die from talking too much, the ancients were right.

While internally ranting and raving, Xiao Yu burst into laughter, expressing the lingering fear of surviving such a close call.

Then he turned his attention to the battle before him. Ragnaros had already pulled Naiser into the sun. Naiser hadn't been afraid of Ragnaros at all, but firstly, after fighting for so long Nephalem Valor buff had completely worn off; secondly, his stamina was greatly depleted and he wasn't as fierce as before; and thirdly, because it was a home-field advantage, Ragnaros's fighting power was incredibly fierce, while Naiser was continuously damaged in the flames, and for a time he found himself in a difficult battle.

Ragnaros held Naiser with one hand, while his other hand relentlessly pounded Naiser with his Sulfuron Warhammer, clashing repeatedly with the Dark Ripper. Naiser was indeed formidable, constantly resisting even amidst the flames. His body was held captive by Ragnaros, but he continued to swing the Dark Ripper, deflecting Ragnaros's attacks. However, the continuous damage from being engulfed in flames was unavoidable.

Nephalem is Nephalem after all. Once again, it parried the attack of Sulfuron Warhammer. Suddenly, Naiser unleashed a Shockwave with a super armor effect, using its remaining strength to break free from Ragnaros's grasp and try to escape the Sun area.

But how could Xiao Yu on the outer circle let him have his way? Just as Naiser flew a dozen meters away, Xiao Yu blasted him with a Pyroblast, and in that brief moment, Ragnaros pulled him back.

Xiao Yu simply stopped, unleashing a barrage of fire magic. Since Ragnaros was immune to fire spells, and his elemental power was exhausted once more, Xiao Yu activated the Annihilation effect. The chaotic energy within him Boiling, and under the Annihilation effect, health replaced elemental power. In this way, he could use skills almost without restriction.

With that pull and the blast, Naiser had no chance to escape. His health plummeted in the flames, and Naiser was on the verge of dying.

At this moment, Naiser no longer cared about his image. Like a drowning person trying to grasp at a last straw to survive, Naiser suddenly initiated a private chat with Xiao Yu.

"If you lose to me, I'll give you money—fifty million, no, one hundred million. I'm betting one hundred million this time, and you can have all the winnings. I just need to get my initial investment back."

Xiao Yu thought to himself, "One hundred million! That's a lot of money! But without any proof, how can I dare to agree to that?"

"I guarantee with my integrity that I will absolutely not go back on my word!"

You have no dignity? You slept with that girl and then turned your back on her. You'd be a fool to believe you.

Thinking to himself, Xiao Yu sneered, "Buddy, this has nothing to do with personal grudges. You're just blocking my way—although I'd love to keep arguing with you, things could get complicated if I wait. Just go ahead and do your thing. And by the way, I'm not apologizing at all!"

As he spoke, the elemental power within his body frantically gathered around Xiao Yu. Although Xiao Yu was playing the role of the BOSS, he wouldn't make the mistakes that BOSSes often make. He was so focused on his verbal sparring that he forgot to finish off the opponent. A Greater Fireball with a diameter of more than ten meters had already taken shape in his hand.

"No, no, no, wait a minute!!!!"

Boom! A massive fireball hurtled towards Naiser. Amidst the explosion, Naiser let out a hysterical howl as Ragnaros pulled him completely into the sun, where he fell silent.

A few seconds later, boom! The sun exploded from within, and at the same time, Xiao Yu sensed that Ragnaros's life force had suddenly vanished.

That explosion was clearly the effect of Ragnaros's self-destruction. Holy crap, he actually killed Ragnaros. That guy was pretty powerful.

But no matter how powerful he was, Naiser was killed in the explosion.

System notification: Azathoth, Elemental King, has slain Naiser, Lord of Purgatory. No one in the Purgatory Legion survived. Azathoth has won the victory.

He won! He really won? Standing in the Void, Xiao Yu still felt a sense of disbelief. He had actually defeated Naiser? Was he dreaming? It didn't seem like it!

However, this was clearly true, as the teleportation light had already begun to flicker.
