Chapter 66 · Volume 1

Chugging a Dozen Secret Potions and Having a Boxing Match with Demons

Not only that, but Qimeng also took out several of her self-produced magic fruits.
【Ironclad Fruit】, 【Thunderbolt Fruit】, 【Adamant Fruit】, 【Herculean Strength Fruit】, and more...
She crushed them all. In an instant, over a dozen iridescent, buffing magical lights enveloped her body.
Immediately after, various potion bottles materialized out of thin air in front of her.
The demons who witnessed the entire process sneered.
“Potions? Heh, naive Wood Elf brat. Do you honestly think you can turn the tide just by downing a few short-acting buffing potions?”
“These aren't the generic kind you find on the market, you know.”
“Could they be the legendary secret elixirs of the Wood Elves?!”
“Bingo. Unfortunately, there's no prize.”
The demon was taken aback. He had only made a wild guess, but it actually turned out to be true?!
Gulp.
Qimeng tilted her head back and chugged a bottle of 【Ancient Tree Thousand-Year Marrow】 in one go!
“W-Wait! How could a single person possibly withstand the power of that kind of thing...”
However, before they could even recover from their shock, Qimeng waved her little hand again, pulling out a second bottle, a third bottle...
“What?! Where did she get so many thousand-year secret elixirs?!”
“This is bad!! Those are the accumulations of the Wood Elves over thousands of years! Stop her quickly! Those are supposed to be our spoils of war!!”
The other demon could no longer sit still and cursed anxiously.
Gulp, gulp, gulp...
As if she were just drinking plain water, Qimeng downed one bottle after another, chugging over a dozen century-old and thousand-year-old secret elixirs in a single breath!
Since the Wood Elf race was already her personal property anyway... well, then again, spending someone else's resources was always the most satisfying.
Rumble!
However, because the medicinal power she had downed was far too intense, the violent mana surged wildly within her. It actually fully activated the residual natural energy that had settled in her body after she devoured the thousand-year Mother Tree a few days ago, triggering a powerful resonance!
Endless mana gathered within her magic veins, flushing Qimeng's cheeks a deep crimson and radiating a burning heat from her entire body.
There was too much power inside her—so much that it was practically overflowing!
She desperately needed a thorough, unrestrained outlet to vent it all!!
“Hey, you big water buffalo over there...”
Qimeng lifted her head. Gorgeous, emerald-green magic patterns surfaced on her fair skin, and the pressure radiating from her petite body tore through the surrounding air.
“Your arrival... couldn't have been timed more perfectly!!”
“Arrogant brat!! Take my 【Demonic Horn Berserk: Earth-Shattering Slash】!!”
The demon activated a high-level buffing spell. His muscles swelled once more, and the massive horn on his head transformed into a black-gold blade dozens of meters long, hacking down with a force that threatened to rip the earth apart!
However, with the permanent buffs from over a dozen secret elixirs and the activated power of the Mother Tree, Qimeng's raw, violent strength had been boosted to a level that surpassed even a Low-tier Advanced magical beast!
“Get lost!!”
Facing the massive black-gold blade head-on, Qimeng threw her tiny fist forward, enveloped in a flash of emerald light!
Crack! Rumble!!!
The moment they clashed, the black-gold demonic horn that the Giant Horn Clan was so proud of actually cracked under her fist, webbed with countless fractures!
Under the absolute suppression of her strength, this powerful demon was pinned down and thoroughly thrashed by Qimeng, creating a scene that contrasted wildly with her adorable appearance!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
“She's clearly just an Intermediate Rank magical beast!”
“This is impossible... Argh!!”
The opponent was beaten so badly he had no way to fight back, spraying fountains of blood from his mouth.
Qimeng's eyes grew sharp as she unleashed a ferocious sweep with her fair leg. With a resounding boom, she whipped him out of the air and slammed him into the ground, creating a massive crater.
Before the dust could even settle, her petite figure dived down with a sonic boom. She straddled him and unleashed a flurry of pink fists that blurred into countless afterimages, raining a brutal, merciless beating down upon his face!
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!!
“Damn brat! Stop right there! 【Pitch-Black Dark Thunder】!”
The other demon watching from behind could no longer bear to watch. His face turned livid as he launched a fierce attack.
A bolt of pitch-black lightning as thick as a barrel transformed into a roaring thunder beast, lunging toward Qimeng's back in a sneak attack from midair!
However, Qimeng had already perceived everything around her with absolute clarity.
“Don't get in my way, small fry.”
Without even turning her head, she triggered the enhanced version of her defensive skill.
【Immovable Iron Wall】!
A set of exquisite armor, woven from gorgeous emerald crystals and the power of nature, covered her petite body.
Rumble!!
The pitch-black dark thunder crashed against the emerald armor, which perfectly absorbed the full-force sneak attack without even sustaining a single crack!
Whoosh.
Just as the attacking demon froze in shock, Qimeng, who had been thrashing her opponent in the crater, vanished into thin air amidst a flurry of gorgeous, drifting petals.
So fast!!
Every hair on his body stood on end as he instinctively tried to turn around.
However, after a strange refraction of light, Qimeng's petite, exquisite figure materialized directly behind his back.
“Ha, got you.”
Her laughter was bone-chilling.
The dual purplish-red scythe blades in Qimeng's hands drew a perfect arc, slashing down toward his back with a force that threatened to tear through any defense!
Rip!!!
The two scythe blades crossed and slashed, shredding his defensive-enchanted cloak into a flurry of airborne debris.
However, the expected scene of flesh and blood flying did not occur. As the cloak tore apart, the demon shed his disguise.
The bare back he revealed made Qimeng's eyes narrow.
Covering his entire back were magic patterns that radiated an ominous red glow.
At the intersection of those magic patterns, a blood-red pattern was vividly outlined.
【The Crimson Moon】!
In this world, three moons hung in the sky: silver, crimson, and pale.
Most of the time, the silver moon dominated the night sky.
Only during specific transitional months would the silver moon hide, and the crimson moon would take its place. This was a period of wild revelry for magical beasts known as 【Dark Eclipse】. On the other hand, the days when the pale moon hung high were known as 【Holy Blessing】, a time when the mana of human knights and clerics would skyrocket.
Yet, the guy before her had actually branded 【The Crimson Moon】 directly as a magic pattern!
This meant he was constantly under the violent buff of the crimson moon.
“I see.”
Qimeng took half a step back, narrowing her eyes as her scythe blades flickered with magical light.
“Hahaha! So you saw it, Wood Elf brat!”
The Crimson Moon magic pattern on the demon's back erupted with a bloody light, dyeing his eyes a bloodthirsty scarlet.
Under this overwhelming pressure, the surrounding ruins, which had been extinguished by water spells, actually began to spontaneously combust once more.
“Did you think that was the full strength of a high-ranking demon? Under the crimson moon, I am invincible!”
“Invincible?”
As if she had heard the funniest joke in the world, Qimeng pressed the back of her hand to her lips and let out her signature smug chuckle.
“Does having a fake moon plastered on your back make you hallucinate that you're the center of the universe? The Demon Race's coping mechanisms are truly a sight to behold.”
“Still talking tough on the brink of death!!”
Rumble!!!
The crimson magic patterns blazed with blinding light.
The demon's speed and strength multiplied several times over within the bloody glow!
Accompanying a bolt of bloody lightning that tore through the night sky, he grinned savagely and kicked up a hundred-meter-tall storm, throwing a fist straight at Qimeng's pretty little face!
