Chapter 3: Encounter with the Demon, Morgana's Interest!
"A'Tuo? I'm not A'Tuo, you've got the wrong person. I'm Yu Baosheng, I am… Uh, ah, ah, ah!!!"
Before Yu Baosheng could finish his sentence, black mist surged from his body. An unbearable pain wracked his form, forcing him to clutch his head and scream in agony.
His body twisted violently as a pair of massive, jet-black wings burst from his back. The demonic genes that had long lain dormant within him were now fully awakened.
From that moment on, Yu Baosheng ceased to exist. The legendary Sword Demon, A'Tuo, had returned!
"I'm back… Queen… We failed again." A'Tuo's voice was hoarse, filled with suppressed rage on the verge of eruption.
Their last battle in the Nebula War against the angels had ended in disaster. The demon forces had been devastated, and even A'Tuo himself had fallen.
"Don't lose hope. That wretched Keisha won't be gloating for much longer," Morgana sneered, clenching her fist.
The war between angels and demons had never stopped. It was a battle of survival—either they died, or the angels did. Sooner or later, the flames of war would ignite once more.
Panic in Huang Village
The onlookers who had just witnessed Yu Baosheng's horrific transformation were paralyzed with fear.
"Baosheng… he turned into a monster!"
"Run! Everyone, run! That woman is a demon!"
"She turned Baosheng into… into a monster!"
Screams of terror filled the air as the villagers scattered, fleeing for their lives.
At the same time, Tony, who had just finished eliminating the Tautie warriors in Juxia City, had used Flash Star's extreme speed to reach a remote hill near Huang Village in mere seconds.
"This place should be safe," Tony muttered to himself. Just as he was about to deactivate his transformation, he noticed the commotion in the village.
His eyes locked onto the unfolding scene.
"A demon? And… a woman with a seductive aura…"
Then, recognition dawned.
"Morgana?"
Morgana Notices Tony
Morgana, who had been speaking with A'Tuo, suddenly sensed something and turned her gaze toward the distant hillside.
"Hmm? A human? No… something is different about him," Morgana murmured.
Her crimson eyes glowed with interest.
"A'Tuo, go bring him to me."
"As you command, my Queen."
With a single beat of his demonic wings, A'Tuo shot toward Tony like a black meteor.
Tony narrowed his eyes. "Here comes trouble."
Within moments, A'Tuo hovered in front of him, studying him carefully.
"Queen, the target appears to be an alien warrior of unknown origin. No data exists on him. His armor and physiology do not match anything from Earth's civilization," A'Tuo reported through dark communication.
Morgana's lips curled into a smirk.
"An unknown alien warrior? Interesting… If he's strong enough, he'll be a perfect addition to my forces."
Tony scoffed. "Seriously? I just wanted some peace, and now I've got a self-righteous demon breathing down my neck."
The Battle Begins
"My Queen, Morgana, invites you. If you don't want to suffer, come with me quietly." A'Tuo pointed his demonic sword at Tony.
"You think you can make me?" Tony smirked.
Then, in an instant, he vanished.
A blue storm engulfed A'Tuo, its sheer force sending him spiraling through the air.
BOOM!
The powerful shockwave rippled outward, momentarily throwing A'Tuo off balance.
Morgana's eyes flashed with greed.
"This alien… his speed is insane! No, no, no—I can't let him go to waste. If he's this strong, he must fight for me!"
"A'Tuo, stop messing around. Take him down and bring him to me!"
Regaining control, A'Tuo gritted his teeth.
"As you command!"
With a sudden burst of energy, A'Tuo swung his demonic sword at supersonic speed, aiming straight for Tony.
A sharp whooshing sound filled the air.
The blade cut through empty space.
Tony had already moved.
"That was close," he muttered, keeping his distance.
A'Tuo smirked. "His speed is ridiculous, but his attacks aren't lethal. If I can find a pattern in his movements…"
Tony's voice echoed beside him.
"Speed is weight."
Then, before A'Tuo could react—
BANG!
A devastating impact sent A'Tuo hurtling through the sky like a broken kite.
He barely managed to stabilize himself before another hit landed.
Then another.
And another.
Like a raging storm, Tony's attacks came from all directions, each strike a blur too fast to track.
A'Tuo was reduced to nothing more than a punching bag, unable to fight back.
