Chapter 405: Chapter 312: The Will of God_2 Chapter 405: Chapter 312: The Will of God_2 Seeing Duanmu Huai willingly charge into the lightning storm, Selica was slightly taken aback. But quickly, they raised their longsword, aiming straight for Duanmu Huai’s chest. Plainly, Selica aimed to force Duanmu Huai to retreat with this attack. Yet, this was precisely what Duanmu Huai wanted.

There could be no retreat!

In the face of the oncoming blade, Duanmu Huai not only didn’t retreat, he sped up instead. He suddenly dipped, then everyone saw Selica’s sword piercing into Duanmu Huai’s abdomen, effortlessly penetrating through him, as if slicing through butter!

“Ohhhhh!!!”

Upon witnessing this, the audience immediately erupted in cheers, for this was the first time they’d seen Duanmu Huai actually injured!

“That idiot——!!!”

At the same time, in the stands, Maryrose widened her eyes in surprise at the sight.

“What on earth is he doing!”

“Mr. Duanmu!”

On the other side, Honoka, who was standing in the passage, let out a horrified gasp, covering her mouth with her hands, her eyes wide open.

But on the Duel Arena, at this moment, the two fighters had entirely different reactions–Selica looked astounded, while Duanmu Huai, with a wicked grin on his face, charged right up to Selica!

Indeed, this was Duanmu Huai’s strategy – even if it meant taking a sword strike, he’d close the distance with Selica. If he was just to dodge aimlessly, he’d fall right into their trap– Selica’s sword and magic would to keep him at bay until he died–Duanmu Huai was certainly not stupid enough to give his opponent that opportunity!

“Ora!!!”

The next moment, Duanmu Huai’s fist heavily landed on Selica!

“Ora Ora Ora Ora——!!!”

Once it was close-quarters combat, it was Duanmu Huai’s world. Accompanying his roar, Duanmu Huai’s Iron Fist rained down like a storm, striking Selica’s body. Unable to dodge, in mere moments, Selica’s defenses crumbled, then they were blown away by a severe punch from Duanmu Huai!

“Bang!!”

With Duanmu Huai’s final punch landing on Selica’s abdomen, they flew back like a kite with a broken string, crash-landing heavily on the ground, motionless. Meanwhile, Duanmu Huai yanked the sword out of his body, tossed it aside, and raised his hands.

“KO!!!”

Given that Selica was perceived as female by the organizers, Duanmu Huai didn’t kill them on the spot. After the battle, Selica was taken by the hosts to the resting room–In fact, when Selica opened their eyes, they were already perfectly clean from head to toe, and bound to the wall with handcuffs and shackles, awaiting the victor to claim their spoils.

Hence, when Duanmu Huai walked into the rest room, he saw a lovely woman shackled to the wall–well, quite a sight if you didn’t know they were a man.

But sadly, for Duanmu Huai who knew Selica’s true gender, he wasn’t interested.

“You can go now.”

Duanmu Huai went up and unlocked the handcuffs and shackles, then motioned for Selica to leave.

Well, as expected of a goddess’s body. Aside from the attractiveness, its recovery ability was indeed top-notch. Knowing he didn’t hold back when beating Selica, a regular person would definitely have been bruised and swollen. Instead, they were flawlessly clean and fair… Forget it, thinking about how it’s a man inside is even more daunting.

“Thank you.”

Selica picked up their clothes, quietly put them on, gave Duanmu Huai a nod, and was about to leave when a voice suddenly rang out.

“Wait, boy, I want to have a good chat with this guy.”

“Huh? Who’s speaking?”

Hearing this unexpected voice, Duanmu Huai was puzzled, and took a look around.

Was there a ghost?

Next, he saw a blue-haired woman appearing behind Selica.

“Oh, I didn’t expect to see a fellow being here, how interesting.”

“Who are you?”

As he looked at the blue-haired woman, Duanmu Huai furrowed him brow and asked. She smirked in response.

“I’m Heshera, Demon God Heshera. It’s a pleasure to meet you, Demon God from another world.”

“I see…”

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai finally understood why she stopped him. After all, he himself could be considered a Demon God.

Still, in a comparison, he felt totally unrelated to this lady.

“So, what matter do you have with me?”

“Just curious.”

In response to Duanmu Huai, Heshera revealed a strange smile.

“I merely find it amusing, why would a Demon God possess the power of a God but not the will of one?”

“What do you mean?”

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai frowned.

“It’s simple, just as I said, fear, confusion, these are all things a deity should not have… What are you troubled by? I am quite interested in what could possibly vex a Demon God with such immense power.”

“Even Gods wouldn’t feel confused and frightened? In the face of death and destruction, nothing can escape, right?”

Duanmu Huai shook his head. Heshera only responded with a slight smile.
