The Forbidden Magic Laws of a Fallen Princess

However, for an individual, the chest and neck are actually the most fatal weaknesses.

If I can strike either of those two parts of it with this blade of light, then I will have won this battle completely.

Furthermore, this could be considered self-defense, so even if I incapacitated Duke Harman of the dwarf race, I wouldn't be arrested.

However, the most important weakness is often the hardest to hit with a single blow.

At this moment, I used my mind to aim the third luminous blade at its heart, and used many feints to lure it into thinking that I would shoot it at other parts of its body, but...

When he was about two meters away, he decisively stretched out his arms, forming an X shape.

It's clear that he doesn't have any magical defensive techniques; he can only use his arms to block.

"Uh……"

At this moment, Duke Harman groaned slightly, because even the most eloquent person would be in excruciating pain if struck by my Blade of Light.

Moreover, as time goes by, the drug's effects gradually weaken, which is why the pain becomes increasingly intense.

In that case, as he covered his chest, a strange idea suddenly popped into my head.

If this is the last shot left, then aim for that spot.

With my other free hand, I squinted and carefully scanned the area from bottom to top, as if it were a pistol. It seemed that only that spot was the most suitable.

Therefore, I didn't force myself to raise the Aurora Blade in my left hand and swing it around in the air.

At this moment, the last blade of light was also spinning rapidly in the air, so fast that only a circle of light could be seen with the naked eye.

Then I swung the Aurora Blade down with all my might, but the Aurora Blade did not stop. It continued to descend at supersonic speed, flying directly toward Duke Harman.

The moment the unsuspecting Duke Harman pulled the Blade of Light off his arm, my last luminous blade pierced his left eye.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

A rough roar instantly echoed throughout the entire ancient ruins, accompanied by a continuous echo.

Honestly, I still find it a bit jarring...

However, at least this time he was thoroughly and seriously injured.

Chapter 112 The Demon King's Inner Core

In an instant, his foul blood gushed out like a fountain from the wound inflicted by the Blade of Light, and then he began to roll around on the ground incessantly.

Because the eyes are close to the central nervous system of the brain, even the best painkiller will cause excruciating pain due to the proximity of the eyes.

It's your fault for going against me and not accepting my suggestion to let us go.

This is what made you lose an eye—it's a lesson you learned!

It's clear he has no chance of making a comeback, so now is the perfect opportunity for me to escape.

However, it seems that the method to dispel this barrier is not his magic staff.

Otherwise, the barrier would definitely break the moment the gem on the magic wand shatters.

But it's still pitch black all around, and I don't dare touch it.

Anyway, it's more important to leave here and get back to the banquet hall.

Otherwise, once he realizes what's happening, he won't be able to escape even if he wants to.

So, just in case, I didn't retract the light shield formed by the light blade, but instead left it behind me to prevent Duke Harman from ambushing me again and injuring me.

Actually, this kind of thing is quite convenient, because as long as I am still conscious, it can completely block the damage for me without me having to see it with my own eyes.

Sigh, I really want to know where that girl with the beautiful voice of a lark came from.

Not long after I flew out, I seemed to sense some movement from where Duke Harman had been.

"You wretched brat, I will absolutely, absolutely not let you get away with this!!!"

In an instant, the empty space in front of me, which had previously been without a door, suddenly became a black wall door.

Good grief, does this old man not want me to leave...?

"You've got guts, you actually poked my eyes out."

At this moment, he slowly got up from the ground and forcibly pulled out the glowing blade that I had poked out his eyes.

This caused his already unstoppable bleeding to spurt even more violently.

Seeing this made me feel a lot of pain too...

Good grief, could you please not let me see such a disgusting and bloody scene... I'm still a minor.

However, the fact that this thing still managed to block the doorway proves that it's definitely going to do something next...

I couldn't help but swallow hard, then stopped, and prepared to continue the fight.

"Duke Harman, you're already in this state, do you still want to fight?"

At this moment, I was also extremely nervous. I didn't know what outrageous things Duke Harman, who had a penchant for researching strange things, might do next.

"So what, little girl? I dare admit that you are indeed very strong. Even the three bottles of potion I created using magic cores couldn't harm you in the slightest. It seems I have no choice but to resort to my ultimate method."

Just then, he seemed to be pulling something out of his waist.

It seems that this final measure is quite troublesome.

At this moment, he took out a small black box, opened it, and held it up in front of me.

I could clearly see that it was a small purple bead, as if it were made of crystal, with wisps of black smoke occasionally darting through it.

Furthermore, the magic contained within is exceptionally powerful, so powerful that it almost suffocates me.

I can see with my naked eye that it has a very powerful magic power that is two feet in diameter, and that this magic power is evil.

If I'm not mistaken, this should be...

"The Demon King's inner core..."

At that moment, I couldn't help but utter those five words.

"Hahaha, you are indeed knowledgeable. That's right, this is the Demon King's inner core. My ancestor defeated a Demon King and took the inner core from its body. He then condensed it into such a small inner core. However, I wanted to see just how much stronger these creatures would become after possessing a Demon Core. That's why I opened the forbidden gate of my family and inserted Demon Cores into these animals. The only one I'm truly proud of is that giant black lizard."

"Good heavens... Your ancestors were so righteous, yet you've turned out like this. How can you face your ancestors?!"

Actually, I was instantly furious after hearing what he said.

Because his ancestors fought bravely for the future of the dwarves and even defeated the Demon King, obtaining his inner core.

He now does the opposite, directly overturning the path of his ancestors, and is called an evil person.

So what exactly is the difference between him and the Demon King's army?

"Hahaha, actually, I have no magic power of my own, I was born without it. I have an older brother, who was a genius magician. But he was short-lived and died on the spot after eating the poisoned cake I gave him. Of course, I can't say it was me, so I found a scapegoat to die in my place. Thus, I rightfully ascended to the position of Grand Duke and used my intelligence to guide this foolish king. You see, I'm only two steps away from becoming the strongest person in the world. So, little girl, I'm sorry, but today you must die here. No, all the nobles here will be buried with you, because I am the most powerful person in this kingdom!"

With that, he gouged out his own blinded eyeball and then stuffed the demonic core, which radiated terrifying magic, back into his eye.

In an instant, the surrounding air flow changed, and the demons with magic cores inside their bodies began to stir. A powerful magical force similar to that of the Black Dragon God began to emanate from his body in the form of black air currents.

Seriously, this kind of magic is terrifying. Although I know the strength of the Black Dragon God, it's just too outrageous that even a Demon King can possess such an aura.

Since that's the case, I'm going to kill it completely before it fully merges with the Demon King's inner core!

At this moment, his skin gradually began to turn purple, and he was starting to look less and less like a human. It seemed that he was really about to become a demon king.

Good heavens, if this continues, it's like I'm fighting a demon king... No, this absolutely won't do.

Without saying a word, I aimed the remaining three glowing blades at his body, raised them with my mind, and launched them at him.

Unfortunately... the moment my three blades of light touched his body, they seemed to hit a very hard piece of steel, and with a very crisp "clang," they were bounced away.

Chapter 113 Duke Harman, transformed into a demon king

I was instantly stunned by what I saw.

Because I never imagined that his muscles could be strengthened to such an extent.

Moreover, Duke Harman had not yet fully fused with the Demon King's inner core, so my Light Blade, which should have had very strong penetrating power, was so easily deflected.

What am I going to do now? (?⊿?)ツ

If he were to fully integrate with it, even with my demigod-like physique, I definitely wouldn't be able to withstand the beating.

So I need to come up with a solution now.

However, as I was pondering this, I saw his elaborate men's clothing begin to stretch and shred from his muscular physique.

Then, his broad, rounded shoulders, high chest, and beautiful muscle lines appeared before me, as solid as steel pillars.

Unfortunately, his skin had turned completely purple, and he was no longer human.

Immediately afterwards, a bunch of sharp horns, like those of a goat, began to grow on his forehead.

A suffocating magical power began to spread, making me realize that this was not something that could be done casually.

"Ah, how wonderful! This strong body, this powerful magic, it's simply perfect."

At this moment, Duke Harman's eyes, which contained the Demon King's inner core, slowly opened, emitting a dark golden light, and continuously observed and praised the body that had been completely fused with the Demon King's inner core.

It seems it's too late to stop it now.
