Heroes' Prison

Chapter 990 - 935: Queen of Agony

This woman was alluring and enchanting, wearing a black short dress that revealed long and slender legs, her skin as white as snow, her figure slim yet voluptuous.

The most striking feature of her entire being was her eyes, accentuated with an extremely exaggerated smoky-eye makeup. The smoky eye shadow was an icy blue-black with a highly intricate texture. Emotions flowed within her eyes, as if the eyes themselves could speak, revealing hints and emotions.

Such a woman descending instantly became the center of the world, the focus of heaven and earth, unconsciously drawing all eyes toward her.

"Is it you?!" Huang Yi was stunned as he saw this smoky-eye makeup woman!

He had seen this smoky-eye makeup woman once before and even had an encounter with her.

A while ago, he first met this smoky-eye makeup woman in a garden in the City of Roses.

At that time, this smoky-eye makeup woman suddenly appeared and spoke to him mysteriously. Her words were full of seduction and allure, wanting Huang Yi to follow her.

But Huang Yi did not fall for it, and the woman left afterward.

Later, from a surrounding couple, Huang Yi learned a stranger fact, that this smoky-eye makeup woman could only be seen by him, and no one else knew of her existence.

Clearly, this smoky-eye makeup woman was extraordinary, coming specifically to find Huang Yi. Yet, Huang Yi had no idea who she really was, becoming a long-invested mystery in his heart.

Until today, he finally saw her for the second time.

At this moment, the smoky-eye makeup woman nodded her head slightly, and with a lazy and seductive voice said, "I told you last time we’d meet again. Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, I am the Queen of Agony."

Queen of Agony!

As these four words were uttered, time and space seemed to subtly pause for a moment!

Everyone felt as if they had been placed into an ice cellar, feeling a chill up their spines!

This was a legend of all legends!

The Queen of Agony was the only female among The Seven Archdemons. She embodied ultimate allure, beautiful in appearance yet venomous like a serpent. Countless famous and great heroes in history had fallen under her short dress, captivated until their demise, ending their illustrious lives in agony.

"So, the demonic descendant that arrived in The Second World the other day refers to you?" Huang Yi finally understood. Recently, Divine Marksman Ica had told him about the arrival of a demon king’s avatar in The Second World, but hidden somewhere unknown. Now it seemed the demonic identity was this smoky-eye makeup woman—the Queen of Agony.

"That’s right, it is I." The Queen of Agony nodded, her smoky-eye-lined eyelids softly dropped, "Originally, I wanted to see if there was still a chance to draw you into our ranks, but instead, you have become increasingly hostile toward us, and today you even killed the Fallen General. I am out of patience."

"Have you come to avenge the Fallen General?" Huang Yi asked solemnly, subconsciously clutching the Wrath of the Godslayer in his hand a little tighter.

"It is not exactly revenge, just simply here to kill you." The Queen of Agony said as if chatting with an old friend, even carrying a faint smile on her face, "You have grown to this level, even surprising us a little; if you continue to grow unchecked, you might become a formidable adversary in the future. Even if you hadn’t slain the Fallen General, I would have come to kill you."

This time, Huang Yi was truly in a desperate situation!

From the moment he entered The Second World until now, he had faced countless crises; myriad unimaginable, powerful foes had tried to kill him, but he had dismantled each one!

And this time, he finally faced the ultimate adversary of The Second World—The Seven Archdemons!

The avatars of The Seven Archdemons signify invincibility, calamity, and the looming death of billions!

Only a true demigod has any chance of withstanding such immense characters, while Huang Yi was merely a temporary pseudo-demigod and not a true demigod. Moreover, even this temporary demigod level would not last long, soon to revert to the original Heavenly Domain Level.

At that time, forget the Queen of Agony, even the previously slain Fallen General could easily crush him.

Just then, the Queen of Agony finally issued a final ultimatum: "I am asking you one last time, are you willing to become the Eighth Great Demon King? The position of King of Slaughter has been reserved for you; now it’s waiting for a single word from you! It’s either a throne or death!"

Saying this, a black dagger suddenly appeared between her fingers!

This dagger pierced through from the Void Dimension, without causing any slicing sound, yet effortlessly treating the spatial barrier as if it were a thin membrane!

Even the surrounding space was trembling, compressing out of the way, seemingly consciously avoiding this dagger, evoking a fear usual to living beings!

"Blade of Agony!" Huang Yi coldly voiced its name while gazing at the dagger!

The Seven Archdemons hold command over Eight Great Demonic Instruments, famed across the land: the Hell Hammer, Axe of Destruction, Wheel of Darkness, Cursed Spear...

The Blade of Agony is one among them, the weapon of the Queen of Agony! Its power is comparable to the Divine Artifact of The Second World!

This weapon brings endless agony to its foes, inflicting unspeakable torment on their soul. Historically, in many battles, the Queen of Agony wouldn’t directly slay her enemies but would merely create a slight incision with this Blade of Agony upon their bodies, causing them a wound that never heals, tormenting their minds until madness ensued, leading to suicide.

And now, this legendary magic instrument was about to be used on Huang Yi!

"This is merely a projection of the Blade of Agony, not its true form; otherwise, upon seeing it, this sea area would have already turned into a void wasteland." The Queen of Agony cleverly manipulated the dagger in her hand, "You have yet to answer my question! If your next words don’t provide an answer, then this Blade of Agony will kiss your face."

Finished, she looked at Huang Yi with those smoky-eye-adorned eyes, quietly.

At this moment, the entire world held its breath, focusing intently on Huang Yi, awaiting his answer.

This man who had never bowed down to The Second World, at this moment, had to make a choice!

Huang Yi’s lean figure stood tall in the high sky, blocking in front of Sun Island, seemingly holding up the entire sky. He looked calmly at the Queen of Agony, and resolutely stated three words—

"I refuse!"

Instantly, everyone trembled slightly!

Under such high pressure, Huang Yi actually dared to refuse!

"Impressive, you have guts!" The Queen of Agony smiled faintly and her figure suddenly vanished into the air.

At the same time, Huang Yi also disappeared into the air, hiding in the void dimension.

The scene instantly became empty and quiet, and the global audience could no longer see the Queen of Agony or Huang Yi.

Battles between demigods often occur in the void dimension and are not visible in The Second World, the specific fight process could not be seen.

"Puh!" One second later, Huang Yi’s figure suddenly flew out from a void in the distance!

A thin wound appeared on his face, from which black gas continuously emanated, resembling a brand on a slave, never healing, never erased.

It took only one second for his clash with the Queen of Agony to finish!

He was utterly defeated! Knocked out from the void dimension!

Utterly unstoppable!

At this moment, the alluring figure of the Queen of Agony suddenly appeared behind Huang Yi. She stretched out her jade-like arms, embracing Huang Yi as if holding a lover.

She gently placed the Blade of Agony against Huang Yi’s face, slowly carving out a second wound!

Instantly, Huang Yi’s face split open at a speed visible to the naked eye, revealing crimson flesh, turning black and decaying rapidly!

Simultaneously, the vast demigod power within him frantically leaked out from the wound on his face, dispersing into the surrounding world.

The scene was like a balloon leaking air, only to watch helplessly, yet unable to stop it!

"Baby, does it hurt?" The Queen of Agony whispered softly in Huang Yi’s ear, blowing a breath.

Huang Yi struggled desperately, his muscles trembling as he exerted all his strength, attempting over and over to retreat into the void!

But it was completely useless!

He was like a pet, held and played with in the Queen of Agony’s hands, unable to break free!

He distinctly felt that the vast demigod power within him was completely drained, his body became utterly exhausted, devoid of any demigod power!

He checked his own level, and instantly felt a chill in his heart!

His level had dropped from Level 300 to Level 259!

His Level Fury State had been forcibly stripped away!

Not only that, after killing the Fallen General, he’d risen to Level 260, but now it had become Level 259!

Dropped a level!

And this was not a temporary level drop, but a permanent one, like the level drop from death!

And yet, he had not just died!

Huang Yi was greatly startled, utterly bewildered as to what the cause could be!

He had just hidden in the void, trying to avoid the Queen of Agony, but soon felt a pain on his face, falling out of the void dimension. Then, he was embraced by the Queen of Agony and could no longer enter the void dimension.

At this moment, the Queen of Agony finally finished carving the second wound on Huang Yi’s face.

The next moment, Huang Yi’s level fell to Level 258!

Followed by the third wound, the fourth wound, the fifth wound...

Huang Yi’s level continued to plummet, Level 257, Level 256, Level 255...

Every time the Queen of Agony carved a wound, Huang Yi’s level permanently dropped by one!

This was an offensive mode that had never been heard of in the world until now!

Who could have imagined that an attack effect causing permanent level drop could exist in the world?

Huang Yi, in shock and horror, tried every possible method, every skill, every tool, but all were useless, all failed.

Now, he was just a cripple.
