Accompanied by Rimuru's angry roar, a beam of light carrying temperatures of thousands of degrees shot toward the droplets.
The beam reflected back and forth between the droplets. In an instant, Draco, surrounded by the droplets, was pierced by the beam over a thousand times within a single second.
"Hahaha, so you're only at this level? I thought you were something special!"
Rimuru laughed arrogantly, thinking Draco had already been killed by his skill.
"You've lost your mind; you couldn't even identify a mere illusion. Tsk tsk tsk."
Draco's voice rang out abruptly, causing Rimuru to instantly freeze up.
"How... when was it cast?"
"Report. It is speculated to be an illusion cast using the eyes. Please do not look into the opponent's eyes."
Rimuru spun around suddenly, only to see Draco standing behind him with his hands behind his back, looking him over with great interest.
Then he subconsciously caught a glimpse of Draco's golden pupils and thought to himself, 'Oh no.'
"..."
Sure enough, in the next moment, a golden radiance flickered in Draco's eyes again.
The corners of Draco's mouth curled up. "Always relying on the omnipotent Great Sage won't do. You should be like me and read more magic books~"
"Aaargh! Damn it!"
Rimuru clutched his forehead in pain, wailing incessantly.
His consciousness seemed to fall into an endless abyss, and a bone-chilling cold stimulated every hair on his body.
That sensation was simply more painful than death!
He struggled desperately, but the more he struggled, the more painful it became, and that bone-chilling sensation grew even more intense.
"What did you do, you bastard!"
He roared frantically, trying to break free from the illusion's control, but it was undoubtedly in vain.
"You lost."
Draco said easily and comfortably, "It seems you've forgotten all the techniques Hakurou taught you."
"Shut up!!!"
Rimuru screamed frantically.
Draco shrugged helplessly. Since he had agreed to beat him until he cried, he couldn't break his word.
With that, Draco swung a fist the size of a sandbag and smashed it hard into Rimuru's face.
Bang!
Rimuru was sent flying backward, crashing through a wall and falling into the ruins.
Bang!
With another punch, Draco blasted Rimuru directly into the ground.
"Ugh! Cough, cough, cough..."
Rimuru crawled out with difficulty, his face flushed red.
He felt half of his face swelling up, looking incredibly pathetic.
"You..."
Rimuru glared at Draco in rage, wishing he could rush up and tear him to pieces.
As a result, Draco pinned him to the ground and gave him a chaotic thrashing.
"That's for being arrogant!"
Bang!
"Think your wings are strong enough now, do you?!"
Bang!
"You even dare to raise a hand against your big brother!"
Bang, bang, bang...!
Every one of Draco's punches contained terrifying power, and he didn't hold back in the slightest.
Furthermore, knowing Rimuru had Pain Nullification, his fists were wrapped in a layer of spiritual energy, ensuring every punch would jolt the spiritual body.
While this caused Rimuru pain, it also gradually shook away the boundless malevolence within his body.
"Stop hitting me, I'm fine now, ah!!"
Rimuru's eyes gradually became clear, and the violent, bloodthirsty aura from before vanished.
"You bastard Draco, I said I'm fine, and you're still hitting me!"
"Still acting arrogant? It seems I need to throw a few more punches!"
Bang!
"Ah, stop, I was wrong!!"
Rimuru shouted in panic.
Draco curled his lip. "Wouldn't it have been better if you'd been like this from the start?"
However, when he stood up and saw Rimuru's appearance, he was slightly taken aback.
Rimuru's face was now black and blue, and aggrieved tears were swirling in his eyes.
"They're all dead... Rigurd, Gobta, Gabiru, Kruut, and Mjurran... they're all gone."
After regaining his reason, endless sorrow flooded his heart, and Rimuru's tears wouldn't stop falling.
"Waaaaah..."
