First, it's known that this guy has regenerative abilities, and even blowing off its head doesn't harm it. So, how can this thing be completely eliminated?
Does it need to be cut in half, like an Ogre? The problem is I don't have a forty-meter long blade, so that's naturally not an option.
Or? What if I use Ice Aura to freeze this thing and then smash it?
To completely freeze such a large creature, I'd have to activate a Level 5 Ice Aura, and if I do that… everything nearby would be frozen solid.
Plus, I don't know if, after it's frozen and smashed, its corrosive blood will melt the ice and spread to the surroundings.
Uh… I'm really sorry, my physics and chemistry grades weren't good when I was alive, so I have no idea if freezing this guy would also freeze the blood inside its body. Besides, this is a fantasy world, so the physics and chemistry from my world probably wouldn't apply, right?
Or should I just use the instant death effect of Despair Aura to instantly kill it! That's the only way. But if I use Despair Aura, how will I explain how I defeated this thing later?
My lady wanted it dead, and it just died? Like that? Uh… that doesn't sound right! But given this guy's characteristics, instant death is the most suitable method.
Iri, thinking of this, felt helpless. Originally, encountering this sudden incident… it could have allowed her to properly display her strength in front of the Imperial citizens. The best outcome would have been a dazzling magic spell that blew this thing to bits.
However, with this guy's characteristics, if I just blast it… not to mention the people nearby, the streets and everything would be completely destroyed, right?
This kind of result just doesn't feel like a good way to show off. Seriously… why summon this troublesome beast instead of anything else?
Hmm? Summon a beast? I got it!
At this moment, Iri thought of a solution, immediately revealing a very confident smile, and with one hand on her hip, she pointed into the air at the troublesome Corrosion Demon and said.
"I don't care what you are! As long as you stand in front of Nazarick's Princess! There is only one path: death!"
Watching the confident Iri, the group of people behind her all held their breath for this short, seemingly delicate little sister.
The soldiers and citizens, unaware of the truth, were curious why, with Imperial generals present, such a young sister was allowed to face such a terrifying monster alone. However, seeing her confident demeanor and the incredibly powerful beam from earlier, everyone gained some confidence in her.
Just as everyone was eagerly anticipating the little sister's next move, she did not disappoint and acted.
It's just…
"Ah!" Everyone saw the little sister step on the hem of her dress, immediately trip, and fall face-first onto the floor, and it wasn't a light fall; just looking at it made one feel pain.
"Damn it! You made me fall! You remember this! I'll make you pay for this right now!" The next second, the little sister looked embarrassed, quickly got up, completely disregarding her image, and once again pointed at the monster, cursing fiercely.
Almost everyone present was thinking internally, 'You fell yourself, didn't you!'
Iri, of course, knew. She hadn't expected to make such a huge blunder. Indeed, wearing a formal dress during combat was very inconvenient!
That's why Iri had always disliked these puffy, long dresses. Someone like Big Sister You Li was fine, but her own dress usually dragged on the floor when she walked. She had just wanted to speed up and rush forward, but as soon as she lifted her foot, she stepped directly on the hem and tripped.
No choice. For her plan, she had to go up and engage in close combat with this guy at least once. She couldn't do that dragging this long dress. So…
Iri, ignoring everyone's gazes, directly tore off the hem of her dress. The long dress instantly became a short one, making it easier to move. So! Let's go!
Iri accelerated and rushed over, though she didn't actually intend to defeat this thing with physical techniques. This rush was merely to use a nearby house as a foothold to reach the creature's head.
So, Iri accelerated, stepped onto the wall of a house by the street, and used these houses as her footholds, leaping high into the air. If she knew how to fly, she naturally wouldn't need to go through so much trouble… However… Iri couldn't do that.
"Take this, Iri Iron Fist!" Iri shouted, then threw a punch down from the air. Of course… it was just for show. She didn't even put any strength into this punch; it was just for appearance. As for why… of course, it was for the atmosphere, the atmosphere!
Naturally… this seemingly forceful, yet actually soft, punch landed on the Corrosion Demon's head, causing no damage whatsoever.
After throwing this punch, Iri once again used the Corrosion Demon's head as a foothold, pushed off, and jumped backward.
"Little Black, Little White!! Catch me!" As Iri jumped backward with that push, she shouted this.
At this moment, two black smoke-like figures shot out from behind the parade like lightning.
Iri naturally aimed for one of them, executed a beautiful backflip, and landed steadily on the back of a Soul Eater.
"Hmph hmph!" At this moment, Iri stood confidently on the Soul Eater's back, arms crossed, looking triumphantly at the Corrosion Demon in front of her.
This was Iri's plan. Since the Blood Emperor wanted to conceal the existence of the Soul Eaters so much, she would use this opportunity to let them shine! This way, the Blood Emperor wouldn't be able to cover it up.
"Although I can't do anything to you, monster, my pets can. As I said before, anyone who stands in front of Nazarick's Princess has only one path: death!" Iri emphasized loudly again to boost her Soul Eaters' presence.
"Little Black, Little White, bite it!" Iri ordered with great presence.
Though she said "bite it," Soul Eaters aren't Wang Jiang, so they naturally wouldn't bite anything… However, these two intelligent beasts did understand Iri's intention: to kill the monster in front of them.
Thus, the black flames on the two Soul Eaters immediately blazed fiercely, and the black smoke from the one under Iri's feet quickly spread, instantly engulfing the Corrosion Demon.
The Soul Eater under Iri's feet looked up and neighed. Although it looked like a horse, its neigh was not like a horse's, but more like a wolf's low growl.
Indeed, after the neigh, the Corrosion Demon's body gradually lost its color to the black smoke, just like a black and white photograph. Once all the color disappeared, the Corrosion Demon simply fell apart.
Yes! Exactly as the words imply, it directly disintegrated. Its discolored body turned directly into powder, its massive form crumbling eerily to the ground like weathered stone easily crushed.
It seems instant death is indeed the most effective. Although I don't know the principle, it just shattered, and no corrosive liquid spilled out, which is pretty perfect.
Done! Although I could also use instant death myself, that would be less interesting. It's better to give the Soul Eaters some presence.
Foil the Blood Emperor's plan, mm-hmm! Yes! To be honest, I should even thank that fat noble! Iri thought, standing on the Soul Eater's back, quite pleased.
