Ice cream?
What is that?
Has the renowned Red Dragon Queen gone mad?
A smirk surfaced on Kazzak's face.
Demons are pragmatic beings; they wouldn't show mercy just because an opponent reveals a weakness.
No one could have anticipated that a speed, which was already at the pinnacle of pinnacles, could accelerate for the third time!
If one were to describe the speed before this move—it would be lightning.
The kind of lightning where your head has already fallen by the time you see the light.
But after the third acceleration, perceptually, it's almost in the realm of spatial folding.
This attack speed, even Duke, who had absolute confidence in Alexstrasza, wavered at this moment.
Demons, dragons, they're all races with exceptional talents.
Success is 99% perspiration and 1% genius. Actually, there are many beings willing to give that 99%, but most lack that 1%. Those who originally possess that 1% are already enviable enough.
Yet, that being is also willing to put in 10 times the effort of a mortal!
Kazzak's sword swing was that fast.
Whether it's the angle, the force exerted, or the perfection in coordinating with demonic power, everything is impeccable.
This is not merely talent. Without practicing millions of times, it's impossible to have such a majestic power that steps into the transcendent realm.
Ha ha! I'm going to slay Alexstrasza!
Kazzak was utterly convinced—
Regrettably, the next scene left this battle-hardened demon agape.
If Alexstrasza, utilizing her petite stature, narrowly dodged the lethal sword swing at the last moment, causing the strike aimed at beheading to miss, he might admit that he underestimated the agility of the guardian dragon in human form.
But...
The Red Dragon Queen merely raised two fingers.
Yes! She used the slightly pointed nails of her index and middle fingers, lightly and effortlessly, to clamp down on Kazzak's terrifying strike that almost surpassed spatial dimensions.
Visually, it's clear that this is a horrifying giant sword over ten meters long, measured in 'tons' in terms of weight.
Yet, the queen lifted it as gently and comfortably as if picking up a petal fallen to the ground.
Kazzak's massive body, towering several stories high, compared to the queen's standard human form, on the stage of the Karazhan Opera House, staged the greatest ironic play.
It felt as if the air... no, almost the entire spacetime froze for this strike. Not only was Kazzak desperately trying to inhale air into his lungs, but Duke and the others were also doing the same.
"This... how, how is this possible!?" Interestingly, both the enemy and allies let out the same exclamation of astonishment.
Subsequently, low, barely audible panting echoed among the adventure team.
It was then that Alexstrasza finally said with an emphasized tone: "I want it today."
Want what?
While being mentally stuck, it took Duke a full three seconds to realize—this connects to the previous "My ice cream ah!" Apparently, this foodie was saying, "I want the ice cream today!"
Duke, slightly annoyed, pointed at Kazzak: "The faster you deal with this guy, the more time I'll have to get your ice cream."
Even though Duke was chatting and laughing with the queen, Kazzak, on the contrary, revealed deep fear towards the 'world-controlling' dominance displayed during Duke and the queen's conversation.
The queen's eyes shimmered, and merely a glance unleashed a momentum that gave this grand demon a feeling of the heavens collapsing and the earth splitting!
Yes!
Whether it's the heavens or the earth, it's his side that's collapsing.
The surrounding air unknowingly surged in temperature by more than twenty degrees, and even the air was constantly humming, as if some invisible mystical force was rippling throughout the opera house.
The next moment...
"Crack!" A sound, the portal coiling around Kazzak's waist, suddenly manifested a crack!
Then, an ethereal dragon head abruptly appeared above Kazzak's body.
This vanguard and commander of the Burning Legion could only watch in despair as a scorching dragon breath, exceeding ten thousand degrees, was suddenly spewed from the semi-transparent dragon head.
"Whoosh!" The dragon breath, capable of incinerating everything, transformed into a massive pillar of fire, pouring down upon Kazzak's head.
There were no splattering flames, nor rampaging lava.
Under control that transcends the mortal world, every drop of dragon breath attempting to leave the pillar of fire was gathered back, continuing to burn and roast the demon's body.
The massive body, several stories high, saw its tough demonic skin rapidly decomposed by the high temperature, robust muscles swiftly withering, and sturdy bones visibly blackening and carbonizing at an observable speed!
In less than five seconds, this grand demon, capable of turning the entire Karazhan upside down... perished.
"Hmm!?" Alexstrasza suddenly furrowed her brows.
"What's wrong?"
"Damn it, most of his soul didn't go through the portal; he escaped!" The queen spat resentfully.
Duke wasn't too concerned: "Well! Demons are all like this, seeming fierce. In reality, they fear death more than anyone!"
Duke's conclusion elicited a round of laughter from those around.
The queen raised her hand, and a giant semi-transparent ethereal dragon claw appeared in mid-air, grabbing Kazzak's remains and pulling the entire demon corpse out of the portal.
After Kazzak's massive body underwent a thorough incineration, what remained was useless ash and a pile of Kazzak's treasures.
"Duke, do you want it?" The queen didn't care for these things, naturally benefiting Duke.
"Want! Why not!? Defeating the enemy and taking the spoils is just and fair!"
Not looting the boss? That's a crime! A crime, I say!
Looting corpses or something, even if Duke was recognized as a black hand in the game in his previous life, he would never give it up.
Being a black hand... you have to have the ability to take down the boss to qualify to be a black hand! If you don't let me lead the team, you won't even have the chance to watch the black hand loot corpses. Hmph, hmph, hmph!
The evil Duke staunchly defended his black hand actions in the game back in the day.
A Cone of Cold conjured a small tornado, incidentally cooling the hot ashes.
Duke, in high spirits, quickly used Mage Hand to pull out a staff with a head resembling a small drum, adorned with four peculiar feathers. Duke threw it to Rhonin: "The [Amber Seal], it's perfect for you."
"Uh, thank you, master." Rhonin joyfully accepted it.
Duke let Muradin and the two paladins discuss how to divide a one-handed mace named [Sky Shatterer], then gave a cloak named [Eskadar's Pelt] to the Windrunner sisters, and finally, after giving a pair of gloves named [Doomhide Gauntlets] to Edwin, he finally found what he wanted the most—[The Eye of Shadows].
