Chapter 250



250 Fighting Fire With Fire

Selma Payne’s POV:

I’d already endured the pain of being reborn once. It was just physical pain; there was no need to escape!

This time, New Flow would obey my orders.

Azazel’s expression changed from one of ease to one of seriousness. He attacked me with heavy murderous intent. I knew he was serious this time because I made him feel threatened.

“You’re really a rabid dog that can’t be tamed.”

His face was twitching madly, revealing a kind of hysterical madness.

“Why can’t you all be more obedient!”

The evil power invaded me along the river, and the pain escalated. I could barely stand. However, I still gritted my teeth and endured it, letting the taste of blood fill my mouth.

Without any complicated punches, kicks, or fancy moves, we all gave up on any form of attack and only used the most primitive and deepest level of power to fight. The thick black mist and the transparent stream of death were in a fierce struggle, neither willing to give in as they eroded the other’s power.

Obviously, I couldn’t possibly be stronger than this supreme demon who had lived for who knew how many years.

“Don’t make me angry again! Now, give up on your rebellion, and I can still forgive you!” Azazel roared.

“Be it in the past or now, you will never be my opponent! How could a weak lump of moonlight dare to resist crime and punishment!”

I didn’t have the energy to answer his craziness.

I waited.

I was waiting for an opportunity to kill him in one blow.

The teachings of Aldrich from the past resurfaced in my mind. “When you’re facing a powerful enemy, strength is not the deciding factor for the final victory or defeat. If you don’t have the confidence to win against your opponent in a head-on confrontation, don’t put too much effort into your weakness. Instead, look for your opponent’s weakness.

“From the slightest movement to the invisible emotions and state of mind, any aspect could have a fatal weakness. A strong body does not necessarily have a strong heart. If you can’t find your opponent’s weakness, then there’s no harm in creating one yourself.”

“You can use any means to deceive, provoke, enrage, or intimidate them as long as you can grasp the other party’s mood change.”

There was no doubt that Azazel was a powerful demon. Even if I could fully utilize New Flow’s power and use up all my accumulated power, I would only be able to leave a deep wound on him. Given the demon’s mighty strength, it was hard to say how long the injury would last.

But was his spirit as strong as his body?

“What about you? Who are you thinking of as your enemy in your past and present?”

I forced out these words.

“Why are you so obsessed with your daughter yet set a fatal trap for her in every life? Why are you so persistent about me? Do you want an obedient pet, or are you… trying to make up for your past regrets?

“You said ‘you all will never listen’. Who is ‘you’? I’m afraid it’s not Dorothy and me. Could it be that all your family members and pets in the past abandoned you in the end? Ha, what a pathetic creature! Didn’t they say that demons are good at playing with people’s hearts? Why are you acting like you’re the one who’s been abandoned by the heartless person?

“What are you trying to make up for? Wasted feelings? A torturous emotional wound? Or are you unwilling to admit that you were a fool in the past and want to find your former glory by bullying the weak like an impotent pervert?

“Look at your pathetic expression. Do you look like a demon?”

Seeing that Azazel’s expression was becoming more and more ferocious, I sneered and said my last words.

“Look, you’re about to cry. What now? When you were thrown from heaven to hell by the gods and abandoned by your lover, did you also show such a pitiful expression like a stray dog?”

Azazel’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets as he shouted angrily, “You will regret your offensive words!”

The malevolent black mist paused before condensing into an ominous black ball that instantly charged at me!

At that moment, I dispelled New Flow’s power and threw out a black crystal I had prepared beforehand. Then, I covered my body with New Flow-

BOOM!

The heavens fell, and the earth shook!

The black crystal was the negative element that I had secretly condensed. When the evil power and the same evil element collided, it would definitely not be a harmonious scene. They would only erode each other and finally explode with a force that would cause both sides to suffer.

I felt like the world was spinning, and my entire body was in pain. It was as if a hundred bombs had exploded near me at the same time. The power waves were still spreading out in circles. When I opened my eyes, the surrounding valley had long been razed to the ground. There wasn’t even time for an avalanche.

Azazel did not fall. He was still standing in the same place, but his body was full of cracks. Blood gushed out of the open wounds, changing the ground under his feet into a sea of blood.

He mumbled to himself. I didn’t hear him clearly and didn’t want to. I took out the cracked golden bell from the protective circle of New Flow and shook it. The golden bell that contained the soul of a certain great demon played melodic music, and the surging golden light smoothed out the aftermath of the explosion, causing the evil demon to be injured again.

Azazel’s body wasn’t just split open. It was more like it was about to collapse.
