"What became of His Highness Evan? Is he still alive?" queried one of the spectators.
"It's hard to say," replied the elderly cultivator, a mysterious glint in his eyes. His dark, foggy gaze held a certain intrigue.
Wait a minute, someone with black eyes in the Imperial Frost Clan? That's odd!
But amidst the intense battle between Evan and the demon, nobody seemed to notice this peculiar detail. Had anyone caught on, it would have certainly raised some questions.
Annika stood among the spectators, her hands clasped together and her eyes closed. She was silently praying to the Moon Goddess, fervently requesting Evan's safety in her heart. Though she had never directly expressed her feelings to him, it was apparent to her best friend that she harbored a deep affection for him. The last thing she wanted was for him to be harmed.
Maybe her prayers were heard as Evan had reacted to the demon's sudden attack with surprising reflexes and managed to escape the deadly attack by quickly sinking into the shadows and entering the shadow realm. Had he not responded promptly with his strongest movement skill, he would have suffered the same fate as the unlucky trees and the clearing that was reduced to ashes due to the fire!
"Damn it!" the demon exclaimed, scratching its head in frustration. "I should have known better. These humans are weak creatures. How can they survive my fire? Why didn't I hold back? Now I can't have a tasty human for dinner!"
The demon thought that it had gone overboard with its attack, reducing its dinner to nothing but ashes. It had no idea that Evan had narrowly escaped its swift and destructive strike.
With a heavy sigh, the demon turned around to leave the devastated area, intending to return to its cave and maybe hunt a few games along the way.
As it was about to disappear into the trees, Evan stepped out of the shadows, appearing just behind the nasty demon. The demon remained oblivious to his presence, completely at his mercy. Meanwhile, the spectators watching the live stream were elated at the sight of Evan, and their eyes lit up with excitement.
Without a moment's hesitation, Evan directed his attention towards the demon's head and thrust his sword forward.
The attack was successful!
The demon's eyes, bloodshot and wild, grew larger than saucers as if they might burst from their sockets any moment as it felt a frigid and razor-sharp blade plunge deep into its brain.
The sensation shook the demon to its very core as though the ground beneath its feet was slipping away.
At that moment, the demon heard the voice of the man it had believed to be dead.
"There's plenty more where that came from!"
Upon hearing Evan's voice, the demon was seized with disbelief.
Had Evan crawled out of the fiery pit of hell just to haunt him?
The demon's heart pounded in his chest as he struggled to comprehend the impossible.
Glacier Fang Style: Last Ray of Moonlight!
With the infusion of Evan's soul energy, the Frost Demon's Fury sparkled with a striking blue brilliance, and a wave of frigid energy surged out from its tip, invading the demon's skull and penetrating its very soul.
AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!
The demon's response was a blood-curdling howl, as it contorted in anguish, while the frosty grip of Evan's soul energy tightened on its fiery soul.
Suddenly, its screech was silenced, as the icy metamorphosis initiated from its head, swiftly expanding to envelop its entire form.
The demon's body became encased in a frozen shell, the chill seeping into its very core until it was nothing but a frozen statue!
However, even this attack of Evan had failed to destroy its life orb, and because of its bodily heat, the ice trapping it was melting rapidly.
Tsk!
Evan made a clicking sound with his tongue and released a rapid succession of icy projectiles.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Every single one hit the exact same spot with precision.
The demon's head burst like a smashed watermelon, and the orb that was maintaining its life shattered as well.
As a result, the demon lost its life.
Evan observed as the demon's body gradually disintegrated into a heap of frost, leaving behind only a puddle of water that immediately vaporized due to the scorching temperature of the surroundings.
[Ding!]
As Evan was observing the remains of the defeated demon with a hawk-like gaze, he heard a notification sound from the system ringing in his mind.
The message read: "Congratulations, Player Evan, for successfully defeating a level 18 Fire Horned Demon. You have earned 180 Experience points and a few points increase in your CON. Your Constitution attribute has reached its maximum limit!"
Evan grinned in satisfaction at his accomplishment and took a deep breath.
Whooz!
A moment later, a sudden buzzing sound caught his attention.
He swiveled his head in the direction of the noise and spotted a flying bug emerging from behind the trees.
The creature's body was covered in vibrant stripes of black and yellow, much like that of a honey bee. Its head was small and round, with two large, bulging eyes that seemed to peer right through him. The creature's wings buzzed loudly, making a distinct humming sound that filled the air.
But what was truly terrifying about the creature waa its stinger. It was like nothing the spectators had ever seen before, stretching over a meter long and glistening menacingly in the sunlight. The stinger was as thick as His Highness's Evan arm and had a sharp point that glinted in the light. They couldn't imagine the pain that would come from being stung by such a weapon.
They weren't too shocked to see it. There were all kinds of creature in the monster tower. It waa not odd to see a giant and deadlier version of a honey bee.
Whooz! Whooz!
The buzzing of the bee's wings grew louder as it charged straight towards Evan, its stinger poised for attack.
