Chapter 449
In the spacious Colosseum, Atofy's honor guard acted as the audience, while the lead roles were the Undead Demon King standing in the arena and the Saiyan given the identity of Challenger by her.
After Muya finished announcing both sides, stating they would stake everything on this battle, Atofy planted her Great Sword before her.
Broly was somewhat puzzled, then heard her say: "To praise your courage in daring to challenge the Demon King, I, Atofy, am willing to let you attack first, and I absolutely will not dodge your attack."
"This guy is a bit obsessed with the Hero vs. Demon King game; in her idiot head, a so-called Demon King should be a powerful existence possessing overwhelming strength.
Obviously, Broly, she is using this method to demonstrate that point to you, the Challenger."
The Little God helped interpret Atofy's behavior.
"Letting me attack first and not dodging my attack — I advise you to take those words back."
For the sake of his friend's grandmother, Broly began to persuade her.
"I won't take them back; this Demon King's head is right here — if you have the ability, go ahead and take it."
Atofy patted her own neck, somewhat stubbornly insisting on her view.
"Broly, just chop off her idiot head."
The Little God spoke up at this time as well.
"I'm not about to kill Randolph's family."
"Rest assured, with the Undead Demon King's recovery, even if Atofy's head falls off, it's only a minor matter."
"For real?"
Broly was somewhat doubtful.
"How could I possibly deceive you? You're my reincarnation bosom friend!"
The Human God's voice was coquettish, but He merely couldn't wait to see Atofy get brutally slapped in the face because of her overconfident words.
If compared to playing a MOBA game, the Human God is that nasty guy who, after gaining a huge advantage, camps the enemy fountain to spawn-kill; others' misfortune, embarrassment, regret, and pain are all sources of His amusement.
Under His solemn guarantee, Broly drew his sword; with just a single dash and one Light Blade technique, he swept past Atofy's side.
Atofy tensed her body when he dashed over, but because of her own words she stiffly made no dodging movement whatsoever.
After the sword light passed, the Undead Demon King Atofy's head rolled off from her neck; the Colosseum's originally lively atmosphere discussing 【how long the newcomer could persist in Atofy-sama's hands】 also came to an abrupt halt the moment the head hit the ground.
"A-Atofy-sama, killed?!"
A guard widened his eyes, seemingly unable to believe their own Demon King was killed instantly in one move; only the guard captain Muya's expression barely changed.
In the Colosseum, the headless body moved, walking straight to its own head, then bending down to pick up the skull from the ground.
Quite roughly pressing it back onto the severed surface — which had no blood flowing out — the flesh at the contact point wriggled, and the beheaded Atofy recovered from her injury.
"Very beautiful Sword God Style swordsmanship; pity Sword God Style swordsmanship is of no use against me, because I am the Undead Demon King — no matter which part of me you chop off, I can easily recover. Next, it's my turn!"
Atofy declared; a perfectly good battle seemed to have been turned into turn-based combat, giving Broly the feeling of acting in a stage play.
Atofy drew her sword; she could wield the Great Sword with one hand. This person, holding the sword, charged straight at Broly's side.
But just as she arrived before the boy, before she could swing down, a sword light struck later yet arrived first, severing her sword-holding arm.
Yet this could not stop her; Broly only saw the female Demon King before him grab the severed sword-holding hand with her other hand and continue attacking.
In his current situation, unless he gathered Qi, launching another attack at the female Demon King before him — though he could continue severing her other arm — would also result in him being struck by her; Broly wasn't prepared to gather Qi and fight her, so he chose to retreat and dodge.
With a boom, the spot Broly had just left was smashed by Atofy's Great Sword into a deep pit crack.
Atofy pressed the severed hand onto the arm stump; the injury recovered in the blink of an eye, and she continued pursuing Broly.
This guy's sword is barbaric, vulgar, with no technique to speak of, yet relying on the Undead Demon King's injury-immune body, she completely ignores Broly's various slashes and just unleashes a fierce rapid assault on the Saiyan boy.
Dust and smoke billowed in the Colosseum; every time Atofy launched an attack, flesh and limbs flew everywhere, yet they kept regenerating.
Broly repeatedly dodged, counterattacking in the gaps when Atofy's attacks missed, but discovered it was of no use whatsoever.
Atofy's recovery speed is simply too fast; the counterattacks made during the openings were actually still not as fast as her injury recovery speed.
"Ah, you guy running all over the place — face me head-on like a man! If you only know how to flee, no demon girl will like you; they like true warriors!"
Atofy's words made the honor guard members present feel embarrassed; trading injury for injury is zero injury for an Undead Demon King — truly going head-on with an Undead Demon King isn't called a warrior, it's called a stupid fool.
"This is the North God Style's usual provocation rhetoric, Broly — you must not fall for it."
The Little Human God reminded from the side.
Broly didn't respond; he had fallen for it somewhat, after all.
After all, he was suppressing his Qi, suppressing the Saiyan's body advantage to fight.
But the other party? Atofy wants to use her Undead Demon King body's recovery advantage to crush him.
Who wouldn't be angry if swapped?
Broly really wanted to toss his sword, directly burst into a rage, then stick his neck out and let Atofy chop away properly; when she couldn't cut through, pat her face and ask if she'd eaten or not.
"Hah—"
But doing that would be too boring, and of no benefit to his swordsmanship.
You must know, Orsted fought him to a standstill even with Qi lower than his.
Broly also wants to temper combat skills as superb as the Dragon God's.
He took two hop-steps, arriving at the Colosseum's edge.
"Ho, looks like this warrior running all over the place has already been driven into a desperate situation by me."
Atofy's Qi Machine locked onto the boy driven into the corner.
"Admit defeat; if you admit defeat now, I won't knock you out, because your strength has already obtained my recognition!"
Atofy's mouth urged surrender, but her body stepped closer step by step; once she reached the distance she deemed the opponent could no longer flee, this Undead Demon King would surely launch a new offensive without hesitation.
"Atofy, you said Light Blade is useless against you, right?"
Broly suddenly asked.
"Right, so what?"
Atofy didn't know what he wanted to say, but still nodded in response.
"A single Light Blade strike is useless; then do you think ten or a hundred Light Blade strikes would work?"
Broly asked again.
"Hah, who in this world can unleash ten or a hundred Light Blades in a single instant?"
Atofy laughed heartily.
"Although I haven't tried it, in my current low-Qi state, combining some Water God Style techniques for redirecting Qi, I should be able to pull off such a move."
"You're bluffing, trying to buy time to escape from this desperate situation?"
"No, you think the one driven into a corner is me, but my view is the exact opposite, because the move I envisioned for myself is still incomplete, and in a low-Qi state I may not be able to freely redirect my attack direction, so I deliberately lured you into this corner.
That way, the only direction I need to face is the front, and as long as you take one more step forward, you will fall into my attack range, and I cannot guarantee that in my low-Qi state I can still hold back against you; you might be cut down by me.
So, Randolph's grandmother, Atofy the Undead Demon King, hopes that for the sake of your own life, you will consider stopping this battle right here."
"Verbose. My answer is, if you have formidable ability, then bring it out!"
Atofy stepped forward once more without hesitation.
Seeing this, Broly also dispensed with courtesy and charged back at Atofy from the corner of the Colosseum.
The Water God Style's wrist force technique, the Sword God Style's arm power generation technique, plus his own understanding of Qi circulation.
A Flashing Consecutive Slash that carried not too much numerical value but a higher proportion of technique erupted right before Atofy.
Atofy, swinging her greatsword over, only felt her sword struck by force surpassing force with each blow, and soon could not withstand it and was knocked flying.
Immediately after, her body met head-on the meat-grinder blades formed by the Light Blades, and was divided in a single instant.
The Qi circulating on the sword had already condensed to its peak, yet Broly used the move from Orsted's second playthrough where he cleaved the Red Dragon Mountain Range as the finale.
Over a hundred Sword Qi were slashed out in one direction at once, directly plowing a gully of shattered cracks across the Colosseum floor.
And the Undead Demon King Atofy, along with the armor on her body, was chopped into a pile of fragments, scattering across half the Colosseum.
"Hah—"
Broly exhaled, the tearing sensation coming from his arm and various parts of his upper body making him realize this was the most explosive sword technique attack his current Qi capacity could achieve.
Broly moved his arm, feeling that if he raised his Qi to three or four times its current level, he should be able to treat this burst-type sword technique as an ordinary attack, unlike now where once he launches an attack, even changing the attack direction is difficult.
But with truly three or four times the Qi, it seems against an opponent with astonishing regenerative power like the Undead Demon King, using Energy Bullets might be more cost-effective.
"Uh, she wouldn't really have been killed by me, would she?"
After summing up the feel of the consecutive slash technique he had used combining the Sword God and Water God styles, Broly looked at the minced Atofy flesh covering the ground and asked the Little God with some worry.
And sharing his doubt that the Undead Demon King Atofy had been killed were some of Atofy's Royal Guard who were not of the demon race; some cheered that they had finally escaped the sea of suffering tortured by the Undead Demon King, while others felt sorrowful at Atofy's death.
Atofy's methods of training people were harsh, but the strength gained by those who underwent training under her was real; this Demon King might not be a considerate teacher to her subordinates, but she was absolutely a fine instructor who commanded their reverence.
Those who grew strong because of her held considerable respect for her.
"Silence, the battle is not over yet."
Muya rebuked the noisy guards.
"One of the Eight Ancient Demon Kings, a direct descendant of the Undead Demon King Necross Lacrosse, does not die that easily.
In fact, humans dealing with these Undead Demon Kings usually can only seal them through Barrier Magic, or banish them through Spatial Magic."
As the Little God introduced this, the minced flesh chunks on the ground began to melt; they gathered together like modeling clay with a will of their own,
and before long, Atofy — who had been chopped to pieces, which on any other race would be dead beyond dead — appeared on the Colosseum perfectly unharmed and stark naked.
"Ahahaha, I thought I was really killed for a moment; turns out there really is someone who can slash out over a hundred Light Blades in an instant?"
Atofy exclaimed with some emotion.
"In that case, I take back what I said earlier; the Sword God Style is still very effective against me, even if it still can't kill me."
"Lady Atofy, please mind your bearing."
Muya unfastened her cloak, wrapped it in Battle Qi, and threw it over.
"There's still another round to fight."
Although she complained verbally, Atofy still used the cloak to wrap her lovely body.
"Come, let us begin the second round."
Broly: "..."
He had already confirmed that, in a low-Qi state, it was impossible to settle the opponent with a sword.
So he thrust the sword in his hand into the ground.
"What, you want to grapple bare-handed with me? Fine, I can fully accommodate you."
Atofy's fighting spirit was high; although she lacked her younger brother Badigadi's multiple arms, she was also formidable in close-quarters brawling.
"Finger-Point Fist, Qi-Sealing Finger..."
After closing in on Atofy, Broly wasted no words, dodged her punches and kicks, and struck a series of points on her Qi-circulation acupoints, driving his own Qi into them.
"What kind of weak attack is this, are you tickling me?"
Atofy felt nothing from this behavior, not dodging or avoiding at all, fiercely attacking with her fists.
And after Broly finished pointing the acupoints that needed pointing, he made a large jump to pull away distance.
"Hey, what are you doing, why are you showing me your back?"
Atofy couldn't understand.
"Because there's no need to continue fighting; you're already about to be unable to move."
Broly waved his hand in reply.
"Unable to move, what a joke..."
Atofy tried to step forward in pursuit, but felt her thighs somewhat out of control.
After taking one step, she stiffened up.
"Snap!"
Without any warning, Atofy Atofy collapsed.
"What did you do to me, is it a curse?"
Atofy discovered her Body Internal, as if controlled by something, Stiffened Neck and questioned.
"It is Qi, I injected Qi into your Body Internal, although the Qi I currently maintain is Weaker Than yours, your Qi also hasn't reached the Degree of being able to directly break open the Qi I injected into your Body Internal."
The Qi Broly injected with Qi Severing Finger, Just Like stuck Atofy's Body Internal Qi Jin's force exertion points, Unless Atofy's Aura Volume is Astonishing, otherwise she can only wait for his Qi to Dissipating, and before that, Falling Into a whole-body Stiffened state, is a normal thing.
"Unexpected you actually still have This Kind of means."
Atofy understood?
No, she didn't understand, but she is Willing to Acknowledge the Any Means the Opponent used.
"However, wanting to win me, yet still Not Yet."
Broly had already Returning Sword the sword into its scabbard and carried it on his back, walking toward the Colosseum's Exit, when he heard Atofy's words.
"You can't even move, yet it doesn't count as me winning, does it have to be that I kill you to count as me winning?"
Broly Frown asked.
"That's not it, as long as you can make me Battle Incapable, that also counts as your Victory."
Atofy Shook Head.
"You temporarily can't move, doesn't that count as you Battle Incapable?"
To this, Atofy grinned.
"Bang~"
Next Moment, she Self-Destructed, Meat Paste Rapidly reorganized.
"See, I can move now."
Atofy Activity her reorganized Body, looking like a Nothing Happened person.
Broly: "..."
Unexpected his own Qi Severing Finger, could still be solved This Way.
"Second round counts as your win, let us start the third round!"
Atofy's Skin glowing red, this is Excitement to Extreme situation.
Broly Sigh, No Longer Suppression his own Qi, Instantly Arrive in front of Atofy.
"Bang~"
Atofy still No Reaction before being Blown Away, Body Smashed against the Colosseum Other Side's wall.
Broly pressed close, hand Pressed on her heart area, Plundering Qi Skill was used by him.
"How can you be So Fast, my Life Energy is Flowing Away, what did you do to me?"
Atofy because of Saiyan Sudden Burst attack, Body Internal Bones broke Countless, and during the repair process, she could Obviously Feel the Small Hand Pressed on her heart area, seemed to Plunder some Life Energy from her Body Internal.
"I just let Vigorous you Quiet Down a bit."
Immortal Demon King's Recovery Ability is not without consumption, Every Time recovery consumes Physical Strength, Magic Power, even Body weight.
"Wanting to make Immortal Demon King Battle Incapable, the only method is in Short Time continuously kill them, until exhaust Immortal Demon King's Physical Strength, Magic Power, Body weight, making them unable to continue recover, even Fall Into temporary death."
This is Human God Give Out the most Simple Effective method, and Broly perhaps could in Low Qi situation, use Qi Severing Finger to do this point, but he has no interest Long Time Trample weak friend grandmother, so, he adopted more effective method.
Immortal Demon King Atofy Atofy, being Broly Kabedon against wall Pressed heart area violently sucked a bout of Qi, then whole-body Powerless collapsed down.
Broly from Crystal Palace inside took out Spare Clothes bought in This World, Catch opponent then wrapped this Female Demon King into rice dumpling Placed On Ground.
"This time you totally can't say, you can still continue Battle right?"
Whole-body Powerless Atofy looking at in Sunlight, Hands on Hips speaking this Saiyan boy, Spirit somewhat trance, she recalled already dead husband.
"Alright, is you won, Broly-sama, from now on I am your loyal subordinate, before your Life End, I will Execute your orders."
Atofy Admitted defeat.
"Eh, how come at This Time so simply Admit defeat?"
To this, Broly instead somewhat Surprised.
"I'm not Stupid, my own Body situation still know, I now even raise hand strength Don't Have, how Battle?"
Atofy very straightforward said.
"Since you Willing Admit defeat, then..."
Broly Returned Atofy some Qi.
"Just help me go do things."
"Yes."
Atofy Atofy Reply, after wearing Clothes, then summoned her personal guards, Prepare to go help Broly Stealing civilian women.
"No, I Only Need you gather people together, let me Glance is enough."
"Don't need Strip Clean, deliver to your Bed?"
"Don't need, thank you."
Broly forehead black lines, Small Person God at Side Haha big Laugh.
"But This Kind not Demon King at all."
Atofy Atofy Complained.
"I'm not Demon King."
"Oh, This Also, you are defeat Demon King Hero coming, Muya..."
"Atofy-sama."
Old man appearance Muya Arrive at Atofy's Side.
"This Kind not Demon King at all things, just entrust to you to do."
"As for me, I must prepare a celebration banquet."
"What do you wish to celebrate?"
"That is, of course, to celebrate the Hero's successful subjugation of the Demon King!"
"Right, Broly-sama, what title do you want?"
"Sword of the Brave, Finger of the Brave, or perhaps Palm of the Brave?"
"These three titles correspond to the three times Atophi was struck down by Broly."
"......"
Atophi is a strange Immortal Demon King; after being defeated, she showed not the slightest discouragement, but rather enthusiastically threw a celebration banquet for Broly.
Broly was warmly hosted by Atophi in the city of Licariss for a time, and when he bid her farewell, he had gained a set of Gravity Armor used for royal guard training, for he discovered that weighted training could raise his body strength under low Qi.
And besides that, he also gained the title of Sword of the Brave, as well as an introduction letter penned by Atophi's captain of the guard, Muya.
As long as he went to other Demon Kings' territories and handed the letter to those Demon Kings, those Demon Kings would all give Atophi face.
Providing some conveniences for Broly, for example summoning the women of their administered regions to let him take a glance.
The benefits of defeating the Immortal Demon King Atophi were not few, letting Broly's efficiency in searching for unknown capture targets on the Magic Continent become higher.
It is a pity that, whether the Magic Continent truly has no capture targets acknowledged by the Crystal Palace, or he missed them, anyway he still cannot find them.
Fortunately, Broly is not too dejected; after traversing the Magic Continent, he still has three loops' worth of stay duration.
Just as he departed from Krasma City heading west, beginning to climb the extremely high-altitude Heaven Continent with a low-Qi weighted posture, he encountered that man named Orsted once again on the Aurora Plateau, where the scenery along the way was extremely beautiful.
