Chapter 563: Chapter 561: Sword Control Flame Demon

Outside the factory, aside from those corpses, there was nothing else. Then, Wen Wen cast his gaze towards the interior of the factory.

Here, in addition to a layer of barbed wire, there was also a powerful Barrier guarding the place. However, barriers had never been a problem for Wen Wen.

He manifested the Catastrophe Gloves on his right hand and pressed them against the Barrier, and the energy of the Barrier was absorbed into the Catastrophe Gloves.

Even Barriers of Catastrophe Level might not stop the Catastrophe Gloves, let alone the one set up by Red Beard. It took Wen Wen merely a dozen seconds to thoroughly destroy it.

The most eye-catching thing inside was an enormous forge, a crafting table made of black stone, and a complete set of forging tools, which Wen Wen unceremoniously collected into his Space Ring.

After that came the Sword Embryo on an exquisite metal rack, and the Flame Demon suspended above the Sword Embryo.

"This guy must be the only demon that escaped when I was besieging the demon stronghold... I did not expect him to be captured by Red Beard and brought here."

"However, he deserves this fate, so I’ll leave him be for now."

Wen Wen looked at the Sword Embryo. A sword embryo is essentially a semi-finished sword that requires a series of further processing to become a real longsword.

Although the embryo wasn’t very appealing and lacked an edge, it still radiated a severe Sword Qi.

But, after all, it was only a semi-finished product. In terms of power, it could not compare to the Ice Longsword in Wen Wen’s hands.

Yet, it felt more like a real sword than the Ice Longsword, which was merely a tool for Wen Wen to use his swordsmanship.

The Sword Embryo exuded a hint of demonic nature, seemingly yearning for combat and blood.

Luckily, Red Beard had not yet performed further forging, so the demonic nature of the Sword Embryo was still within Wen Wen’s acceptance range.

If he used this Sword Embryo as a base, and added the special metals from the surrounding Sword Qi Crystals, he could definitely forge a longsword suitable for his own use.

There was a Barrier around the Sword Embryo too, but that was not a challenge for Wen Wen. However, just as Wen Wen was about to take the Sword Embryo, Red Beard, who had been battling the Merry Troublemaker, had already noticed Wen Wen’s looting act.

Thus, he snorted coldly and crushed a red bead.

As the red bead shattered, the chains on Matilda’s body unlocked themselves and slowly fell in front of Wen Wen, blocking the hand he had extended towards the Sword Embryo.

"Kill... kill..."

Matilda’s mind seemed somewhat unclear, as his entire eyes were blood red, with tears of blood continually flowing from the corners of his eyes.

He reached towards his spine and, like Jumo, pulled out a serrated longsword directly from his backbone, a blade so red it resembled a branding iron, very much in line with Matilda’s style.

Upon drawing the longsword, Matilda’s aura immediately climbed, and though he initially had only Lower Sequence strength, he abruptly reached the level of Middle Sequence, and kept rising!

Eventually, his power leveled out between Middle Sequence and Upper Sequence, almost equivalent to Wen Wen without his Shark Strongman Physique!

The intensity of this power boost made Wen Wen take an involuntary glance: "Jumo could only just manage to climb to Middle Sequence using the Demon Sword; how can this Little Flame Demon ascend to such a level?"

"No, he’s different from Jumo. Although Jumo’s will is also influenced by the Demon Sword, he’s still wielding the sword... but Matilda, he’s being controlled by the Demon Sword in battle!"

Matilda, controlled by the Demon Sword, charged at Wen Wen with red eyes, wielding the longsword wildly and without any technique.

Each strike ignited a swath of fire, the flames dark red in color, merely grazing by was enough to melt metal into molten iron.

However, the wildly swinging longsword appeared like a joke to Wen Wen. If this was all it took to deal with him, there was no point in Wen Wen learning swordsmanship.

Wen Wen drew out his Ice Longsword and ran head-on towards Matilda, then with a distortion of his figure, he suddenly appeared behind her.

Matilda took two steps forward, her movements becoming stiff. Magma-like blood suddenly spurted from her chest and arms, and then it solidified into red ice.

During the moment Wen Wen collided with Matilda, he easily circumvented her attack, then used the Ice Longsword to make several cuts at the joints of her arms and stabbed her chest before moving past her.

"After all, just a Puppet controlled by a sword. Even if its strength is formidable, it’s pretty simple to deal with..."

Before Wen Wen could finish speaking, the blood-red ice on Matilda’s body began to evaporate and her wounds rapidly healed as she let out a roar and launched another attack at Wen Wen.

"That shouldn’t be... I should have truly pierced her heart just now."

Wen Wen’s gaze settled on the scorching longsword as he understood, "It must be this sword forcibly maintaining her life, allowing her to have super high-speed regeneration until her life is completely burnt out."

"Killing her by force would only expose my strength, making it difficult to sit back and watch the others fight."

"However, I don’t need to deal with her myself. She should be without reason. I’ll just lead her to the battlefield."

Having made up his mind, Wen Wen leapt out of the factory and darted through Merry Troublemaker’s toy army like a flea.

Matilda followed closely behind Wen Wen, slashing at anything she encountered. In just a few seconds, she attracted a mass of hatred and became overwhelmed by various toys.

Seeing this, Merry Troublemaker and Red Beard simultaneously halted and turned their attention to Wen Wen.

Wen Wen said with a naive smile, "Don’t just look at me, keep fighting."

Red Beard resented Wen Wen for tearing down his lair, but Wen Wen’s drawing Matilda over indeed lessened his own pressure.

Meanwhile, Merry Troublemaker resented Wen Wen for bringing an idiot over without reason, ruining his siege on Red Beard.

If the two of them continued to fight like this, Wen Wen might end up reaping the benefits, but who would make a move against Wen Wen became the issue. If one acted, they would surely expose a weakness to the other.

In the end, Merry Troublemaker waved his hand, directing his three subordinates to deal with Wen Wen while he continued his magical duel with Red Beard.

The knight riding a bicycle roared, "Stop, thief! Witness my spear, like a dragon unleashed!"

He pedaled fiercely, and as the wheels turned, he charged toward Wen Wen, brandishing the Red Tassel Spear with great flair, each thrust leaving a trail.

The other two were not to be outdone. The one with the pumpkin head was a superpower user with fire control; he kept throwing pumpkin-like flames at Wen Wen.

The superpower user with serrated armor spun like a top, smashing everything in his path.

Seeing these three clowns attack him, Wen Wen sighed unwillingly, "It seems being the fisherman isn’t that easy after all."
