The Hidden Extra: The Lazy Prince Refuses to Ascend The Throne Chapter 732 Fighting With the Demon General! (2)

Evalyn touched down with practiced ease. A swing of the sword in her right hand sent droplets of blood flying through the air as they detached from the blade.

"Too simple," she commented softly, a slight smile gracing her lips.

She then observed Malgrion, now a severed head lying on the ground.

Evalyn had precisely chosen the moment when Malgrion's sight was obscured by the swirling dust and sand to deliver a critical blow to his neck.

She felt confident that the demon wouldn't be able to regenerate himself this time.

But then, abruptly…

"Hahaha! Fascinating… truly fascinating! I must admit, I underestimated you. You are considerably more powerful than I had presumed!"

A sneering laugh echoed from the direction of the detached head.

Under Evalyn's stunned observation, Malgrion's body calmly retrieved his head and reattached it to his neck.

He gave it a slight twist, settling it back perfectly into place.

"Your assault nearly ended me. However, regrettably…" The smirk on his face broadened. "It was all for naught!"

Evalyn's eyes narrowed with caution. She assumed a defensive posture, directing her sword towards him.

"This infernal demon is far more formidable than I initially believed!" she declared through gritted teeth.

She had been convinced she had defeated him, but it appeared her premature celebration was a mistake. Malgrion's true strength far exceeded her expectations.

"Enough of this charade! I intend to end your life right now!"

Boom!

A surge of demonic energy emanated from Malgrion's form. Simultaneously, his physical appearance began to undergo a drastic change.

His stature expanded to nearly four meters in height. The horns sprouting from his head elongated, and his countenance grew even more ghastly.

His muscles bulged, and peculiar black markings started to manifest across his skin.

This terrifying transformation shocked the surrounding demon soldiers. Their faces contorted with panic as they gazed upon Malgrion.

"Blast it all! The General has activated his berserk mode! Retreat!" a demon soldier shrieked in sheer terror.

"Run!" The other soldiers echoed the cry, joining the chaotic exodus, which resulted in the complete disintegration of the demon army's formation.

The human soldiers watched, utterly perplexed by the sudden turn of events. They were inclined to pursue but hesitated.

"Do not simply stand there! Flee as well!"

At that precise moment, Reinard's commanding voice boomed.

Despite their confusion, the soldiers dared not disobey and promptly withdrew from the battlefield.

"Argh!"

A deafening roar exploded from Malgrion's maw. The resulting shockwave was so potent that it sent everyone in its vicinity tumbling to the ground.

His eyes flared a furious crimson, and his respiration became strained and heavy.

"Miss Evalyn, we must leave! Stay clear of him!"

Reinard's voice, laced with concern, reached Evalyn from behind.

Evalyn, maintaining her composure, turned to face him.

"What is occurring?" she inquired.

Reinard reached her side, gasping for air.

"Malgrion is a peculiar type of demon. He can enter a frenzied state where he attacks indiscriminately, even his own subordinates," he explained, his tone grim. "In this condition, he is virtually invincible. His power increases fivefold!"

His expression was one of profound fear and utter despair. Malgrion was notoriously known as the second most powerful demon, second only to the First Demon General.

Furthermore, he was known for his cruelty and lack of mercy towards all beings, including his own kind.

Once he entered his berserk mode, his savagery and brutality escalated dramatically. There was no method to subdue him—the only recourse was to flee and maintain as much distance as possible.

Evalyn's brow furrowed. She glanced at Malgrion, whose body was still undergoing its metamorphosis, and then offered a slight nod.

"I comprehend. Entrust this to me. Depart from this place with all haste," she commanded with a cold demeanor.

Reinard's eyes widened in alarm as he quickly grasped Evalyn's arm.

"What are you contemplating!? You will perish if you confront him! Let us go!" he implored.

Evalyn frowned, then decisively pulled her arm free from his grasp.

"I instructed you to leave! Immediately!"

Reinard stumbled back, gazing at Evalyn with stunned disbelief.

"Y-You…"

He clenched his jaw, then turned away. "I have issued my warning! Do not hold me accountable if you sustain injuries!"

He held Evalyn in high regard, stemming from her victory over him in their prior engagement.

However, given Evalyn's unwavering resolve, Reinard decided against further attempts to compel her, deeming it a waste of precious time.

Once Reinard had departed, Evalyn drew a deep breath. She shifted her left leg back, elevated her right arm slightly, and pointed her sword directly forward.

"This presents an ideal opportunity to test my capabilities," she whispered.

Whoosh!

The turbulent aura surrounding Malgrion's form dissipated, revealing a four-meter-tall figure with a horrifying visage.

"I shall slay you… I shall consume you… I shall absorb your essence!"

Malgrion vocalized peculiar incantations that sent a shiver down Evalyn's spine.

Evalyn remained unfazed. She bent her knees and uttered, "Hero Technique: Lightning Step!"

Zrrhk!

Her form dissolved into pure lightning, and in the subsequent moment, she materialized directly above Malgrion.

The Divine Sword of Luminus emanated a soft, golden luminescence. Evalyn brought it sweeping downwards towards Malgrion's head.

"Gotcha!"

The blade was poised to strike his face, but at that moment, Malgrion clenched his fist, delivering a powerful slam against the sword.

Boom!

A colossal explosion erupted upon the collision of fist and blade.

Because of the disparity in their power, Evalyn was propelled upwards as if shot from a cannon.

Malgrion bent his colossal legs, launching himself in pursuit of her.

"Argh!"

His fist was clenched and swung towards Evalyn's face. The sheer force of the blow caused the very air around it to warp.

Evalyn's eyes snapped open, registering the fist merely a meter away.

"Lightning Step!"

Zrrrkh!

Her form evaporated just as the punch came within inches of her.

She reappeared a dozen meters away, suspended in the air, her gaze fixed on Malgrion with heightened awareness.

'His speed is astonishing. It's as if his immense frame doesn't impede him at all,' she thought to herself.

Generally, a larger physique meant slower movements, unless amplified by some form of magic.

Yet, Malgrion was demonstrably not employing any sorcery.

"Could this be due to demonic power?" Evalyn squinted, her thoughts racing.

Her understanding of demons was rather scant. After all, in subsequent eras, demons had become virtually non-existent.

They had vanished, much like cockroaches scattering when their dwelling was disturbed.

While she was lost in contemplation, Malgrion suddenly clenched his left fist and thrust it forward.

An enormous fist materialized from seemingly nowhere, crashing down towards her.

Evalyn hastily brought her sword up to parry the strike—but she misjudged the force. The impact was so immense that her unprepared body was instantly hurled hundreds of meters away.

"Argh!"

Malgrion seized the opportunity, darting forward with breathtaking speed and launching an unrelenting series of punches.

Evalyn met each strike with her sword, successfully blocking every blow.

Their forms flickered, disappearing and reappearing in rapid succession. Their movements were too swift for the unassisted eye to track.

"Die!" Malgrion brought his clasped hands down in a devastating sweeping motion.

Evalyn's eyes widened in alarm. She swiftly contorted her body, swinging her sword to intercept the descending attack.

Boom!

Their attacks clashed, but Evalyn was overwhelmed, sent plummeting towards the ground at a terrifying velocity.

Boom!

Her body impacted the earth, gouging out a crater almost a meter deep.

A grin spread across Malgrion's face. Harnessing his demonic power, he descended like a shooting star towards the newly formed crater.

Boom!
