Dragon Ball: Saiyan's Culinary Journey Through the Heavens

Chapter 449 Slaying the Demon Granny, Becoming the Sword Hero, Aurora

Chapter 449 Slaying the Demon Granny, Becoming the Sword Warrior, Reuniting on the Aurora Plateau!

In the spacious arena, Atofi's personal guards acted as the audience, while the leading actors were the immortal demon queen standing in the arena and the Saiyan she had given the title of challenger.

After Muya announced that both sides would risk everything in this battle, Atofi Latofi stood his greatsword before him.

Broly was somewhat puzzled, when she said, "To commend your courage in challenging the Demon King, I, Artofi Latofi, am willing to let you attack first, and I will absolutely not dodge your attacks."

"This girl is a bit obsessed with the game of heroes fighting demon kings. In her stupid mind, the so-called demon king should be a powerful being with overwhelming power."

"Clearly, Broly, she's showing this to you, the challenger, in this way."

The little genius helps interpret Atofi's behavior.

"If you're going to let me attack first and then not dodge my attack, I suggest you take back what you said."

Broly, out of consideration for his friend's grandmother, began to persuade him.

"I won't take it. My head is right here. If you're so capable, then go ahead and take it."

Atofi patted his neck, stubbornly sticking to his own opinion.

"Broly, just cut her stupid head off."

The little genius also spoke up at this moment.

"I wouldn't go so far as to kill Randolph's family."

"Don't worry, with the Undying Demon King's regenerative abilities, even if Atofi's head is chopped off, it's a minor matter."

"Really?"

Broly was somewhat skeptical.

"How could I possibly deceive you? You are my dearest friend from reincarnation!"

The little god's voice was sweet and coquettish, but He was just eager to see Atofi get a good slap in the face for his overconfident words.

If we use playing a MOBA game as an analogy, the god is the kind of despicable guy who, after gaining a huge advantage, will do things like camping the fountain and stoking it. Others' misfortune, embarrassment, regret, and pain are all sources of his pleasure.

With His solemn assurance, Broly drew his sword, and with a single dash, a katana of light swept past Atofi.

Atofi tensed up as he charged at him, but because of his own words, he didn't make any move to dodge.

After the sword light passed, the head of the Undying Demon King Atofi rolled off his neck. The lively atmosphere in the arena, which had been discussing how long the newcomers could last against Lord Atofi, came to an abrupt end the moment his head hit the ground.

"Ah, Lord Artofie, he's been killed?!"

Some of the guards stared wide-eyed, seemingly unable to believe that their Demon King had been defeated in one move, while the captain of the guard, Muya, showed almost no change in expression.

Inside the arena, the headless body moved, walked directly to its own head, bent down, and picked up the head from the ground.

He roughly pressed back the severed opening, but without any blood flowing out. The flesh at the contact point writhed, and the decapitated Artofe Latofi recovered from his injuries.

"Very beautiful Sword God Style swordsmanship, but unfortunately it's useless against me, because I am the Undying Demon King. No matter where you cut me, I can easily recover. Now, it's my turn!"

Artofi declared that the battle, which was supposed to be a good one, had been turned into a turn-based game, and Broly felt like he was performing in a stage play.

Atofi drew her sword; she could wield a two-handed greatsword with just one hand. The man, sword in hand, charged toward Broly.

But just as she reached the boy and before she could strike, a flash of sword light arrived first, severing her sword-wielding arm.

But this did not stop her. Broly saw the female demon in front of him grab the severed sword-wielding hand with her other hand and continue her attack.

Given his current condition, unless he mustered his inner energy, attacking the female demon in front of him again would not only result in him severing her other hand, but he would also be attacked by her. Broly did not intend to muster his inner energy to fight her, so he chose to retreat and dodge.

With a loud bang, a deep crater and crack appeared where Broly had just left, thanks to Atofi's greatsword.

Artofi pressed her severed hand against her severed arm, and her injury healed in the blink of an eye. She continued her pursuit of Broly.

This guy's sword was savage and crude, lacking any skill whatsoever. Yet, relying on the immortal demon king's immune-to-injury body, he completely ignored Broly's various slashes and launched a rapid and relentless attack on the Saiyan boy.

Dust billowed in the arena as Atofi launched each attack, sending flesh and limbs flying everywhere, yet constantly regenerating.

Broly repeatedly dodged and counterattacked during the gaps when Atofi's attacks missed, but found it to be of little use.

Atofi's recovery speed was so fast that the counterattacks she launched during the downtime were not even as fast as her recovery speed.

"Hey, why are you running around like this? Be a man and fight me head-on! No demon girl will like you if you just run away. They like real warriors!"

Atofi's words made the members of the royal guard present feel ashamed. The tactic of trading injuries for injuries is nothing to the Undying Demon King. To really go head-to-head with an Undying Demon King is not the act of a warrior, but a fool.

"This is a provocative tactic that the Kitakami-ryu often uses. Broly, don't fall for it."

The little god reminded him from the side.

Broly didn't respond; he had been somewhat tricked.

After all, he was suppressing his breath and using his Saiyan physical advantages to fight others.

But for others, Atofi wanted to use the regenerative advantage of his immortal demon king body to crush him.

Who wouldn't be angry in that situation?

Broly really wanted to throw down his sword, unleash his fury, and stretch out his neck for Atofi to hack away at. When Atofi couldn't cut him anymore, he wanted to pat the female demon's face and ask her if she had eaten.

"Phew~"

But doing that would be pointless and wouldn't do any good for his swordsmanship.

It should be noted that Orstide fought him to a standstill even when he was at a disadvantage in terms of morale.

Broly, however, also wanted to hone his combat skills to be similar to those of the Dragon God.

He took two leaps and arrived at the edge of the arena.

"Ha, it seems I've cornered you, you wandering warrior."

Atofi's aura locked onto the boy who had been cornered.

"Admit defeat. If you admit defeat now, I might not knock you out, because your strength has already earned my approval!"

Although Atofi was verbally urging him to surrender, she was closing in step by step. Once she reached a distance that she believed the other party could no longer escape, the immortal demon king would definitely launch a new attack.

"Artofi, you said the Blade of Light is useless against you, right?"

Broly suddenly asked the question.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

Atofi didn't know what he wanted to say, but he nodded in response.

"If one attack with a katana of light is useless, do you think ten or a hundred attacks with a katana of light would be effective?"

Broly asked again.

"Ha, who in this world can unleash ten or even a hundred beams of light in an instant?"

Atofi laughed heartily.

"Although I haven't tried it before, I should be able to execute this move in my current low-energy state by combining some of the techniques of using force and converting energy in the Water God Style."

"Are you just spouting nonsense, trying to buy time to escape this desperate situation?"

"No, you think I'm the one who's been cornered, but my view is exactly the opposite. It's because I'm not fully prepared with my own strategies, and I might not be able to change the direction of my attacks when I'm in a low mood. That's why I deliberately lured you to this corner."

In that case, all I have to face is the direction ahead. If you take another step forward, you will fall into my attack range. And I can't guarantee that I will hold back against you when I'm in a low state. You might get killed by me.

Therefore, Randolph's grandmother, Artophy Latofi the Undead, hopes that you will consider ending this battle for your own life.

"Enough with the chit-chat. My answer is, if you have real skills, then show them to me!"

Without hesitation, Atofi took another step forward.

Seeing this, Broly didn't hold back and charged back at Atofi from a corner of the arena.

The Water God Style's wrist techniques for generating power, the Sword God Style's arm techniques for generating power, plus his own understanding of the circulation of energy.

A series of light slashes, which didn't carry many numerical values ​​but relied more on skill, erupted directly in front of Atofi.

Atofi, who was wielding his greatsword, felt his sword being struck by increasingly powerful blows, and he was quickly knocked away.

Immediately afterwards, her body was directly in front of her, and the meat grinder blade formed by the light katana was sliced ​​apart in an instant.

The energy circulating on the sword had reached its peak, but Broly finished with the move he used in the second playthrough when he cleaved the Crimson Dragon Mountain with the Orstide sword.

Hundreds of sword energies were cleaved out in one direction at once, carving a furrow of cracks and fragments into the ground of the arena.

Meanwhile, the immortal demon king Artofe Latofi, along with his armor, was chopped into a pile of fragments, scattering across half of the arena.

"Phew~"

Broly exhaled, and the tearing sensation in his arms and upper body made him realize that this was the most explosive sword attack he could muster at the moment.

Broly stretched his arms and felt that if he increased his Qi to three or four times its current level, he should be able to treat this explosive sword technique as a normal attack, unlike now, where it's difficult to change the direction of the attack once it's launched.

However, with three or four times the power, it seems more cost-effective to use energy blasts to attack an opponent like the Undying Demon King, whose recovery ability is astonishing.

"Uh, did I really kill her?"

After summarizing the feel of his combo moves, which combined the styles of Sword God and Water God, Broly looked at the pile of Atofi's minced flesh on the ground and asked the little god with some concern.

Among those who shared his suspicion that the Undying Demon King Atofi had been killed were some of Atofi's personal guards who were not demons. Some cheered that they had finally escaped the torment of being tortured by the Undying Demon King, while others were saddened by Atofi's death.

Atofi's methods of training are harsh, but the strength gained by those who undergo training under her is genuine. This Demon Lord may not be a considerate teacher, but she is definitely a good instructor who is respected by her subordinates.

Those who became stronger because of her have considerable respect for her.

"Silence, the battle is not over yet."

Muya reprimanded the noisy guards.

"One of the eight ancient demon kings, the direct descendant of the immortal demon king Necros Lacrosse, is not someone who dies so easily."

In fact, humans usually can only deal with these undead demon kings by sealing them with barrier magic or banishing them with spatial magic.

As the little god explained, the pieces of meat on the ground began to melt, gathering together like sentient clay.

Soon, Atofi, who would have been chopped into pieces and would have been dead in any other race, appeared in the arena unharmed and completely naked.

"Hahaha, I thought I was really killed. So there really are people who can unleash hundreds of light swords in an instant?"

Artofi Latofi sighed.

"In that case, I have to take back what I said before. The Sword God Style is still quite effective against me, although it still can't kill me."

"Lord Artofi, please mind your manners."

Muya took off his cloak, wrapped it in his battle aura, and threw it over.

"We still have a battle to fight later."

Despite complaining, Atofi still wrapped her beautiful body in a cloak.

"Come on, let's start the second round."

Broly: "..."

He had confirmed that, under such circumstances, it was impossible to defeat his opponent with a sword.

So he planted the sword in his hand into the ground.

"What, you want to fight me hand-to-hand? Sure, I can totally satisfy you."

Artofi Latofi was highly motivated to fight. Although she didn't have multiple arms like her brother Badigandi, she was still very skilled in close combat.

"Acupoint Fist, Qi-Intercepting Finger..."

After approaching Atofi, Broly didn't waste any words. He dodged the opponent's punches and kicks, and then pressed on some of Atofi's acupoints, channeling his own energy into them.

"What kind of attack is this, so weak? Are you just tickling me?"

Atofi was completely unaware of this and continued his relentless punching attack without dodging or evading.

After pressing the acupoint, Broly jumped to widen the distance.

"Hey, what are you doing? Why are you exposing your back to me?"

Artofi couldn't understand it.

"Because there's no point in continuing the fight; you're almost unable to move."

Broly waved his hand in reply.

"Can't move? Are you kidding me..."

Atofi wanted to take a step to catch up, but he felt his thighs were somewhat out of control.

After taking a step, it stiffened.

"Snapped!"

Without any warning, Atofi Latofi collapsed.

"What did you do to me? Was it a curse?"

Atofi felt as if his body was being controlled by something, and he stubbornly questioned it.

"It's Qi. I've injected Qi into your body. Although the Qi I'm maintaining is weaker than yours, your Qi isn't strong enough to directly break through the Qi I've injected into your body."

Bro's use of the Qi-Intercepting Finger technique to inject Qi was like blocking the point of force of Atofi's Qi. Unless Atofi's Qi was incredibly large, he could only wait for it to dissipate. Before that, it was normal for him to be in a state of complete stiffness.

"I never expected you to have such tricks up your sleeve."

Did Artofi understand?

No, she didn't understand, but she was willing to acknowledge whatever tactics her opponent used.

"However, they haven't yet managed to beat me."

Broly had already sheathed his sword and was walking towards the exit of the arena when he heard Atofi's words.

"You can't even move, so I haven't won yet. Do I have to kill you to win?"

Broly frowned and asked.

"No, that's not true. As long as you can render me unable to fight, you can consider yourself the victor."

Artofi shook his head.

"You can't move for the time being, doesn't that mean you're unable to fight?"

Atofi grinned at this.

"Bang!"

The next moment, she self-destructed, and the flesh quickly reformed.

"Look, I can move now."

Artofi moved his reconstructed body around, acting as if nothing had happened.

Broly: "..."

I never expected that my Qi-blocking Finger technique could be broken in this way.

"You win round two, let's start round three!"

Atofi's skin was flushed, a sign of extreme excitement.

Broly sighed, no longer suppressing his anger, and instantly appeared in front of Atofi.

"Bang!"

Before Artofi could react, he was sent flying, his body slamming against the wall on the other side of the arena.

Broly moved closer, placing his hand on her chest, and used his Breath Control skill.

"How could you do this so quickly? Is my life slipping away? What have you done to me?"

Due to the sudden attack from the Saiyans, Atofi's bones were broken in countless places. During the repair process, she could clearly feel the small hand pressing on her chest, as if it was stealing some of her life energy.

"I just want to calm you down a bit, since you're so energetic."

The Undying Demon King's regeneration ability is not without cost; each regeneration consumes stamina, magic power, and even the weight of his body.

"The only way to render the Undead Demon Kings unable to fight is to kill them continuously in a short period of time until their physical strength, magic power, and physical weight are exhausted, preventing them from continuing to recover or even causing them to fall into temporary death."

This is the simplest and most effective method given by the gods, and Broly might be able to do it with the Intercepting Finger when he is low on energy, but he has no interest in tormenting his weak friend's grandmother for a long time, so he has adopted a more effective method.

The immortal demon king Artofe Latofi, after being pinned against the wall by Broly and having his chest pressed down so hard that he gasped for breath, collapsed weakly to the ground.

Broly took out spare clothes he had bought in this world from the Crystal Palace, caught the other party, and wrapped the female demon king up like a dumpling and placed her on the ground.

"You can't say you can still fight this time, can you?"

Feeling utterly weak, Atofi looked at the Saiyan boy standing in the sunlight, hands on his hips, and spoke those words. She was somewhat dazed, and thought of her deceased husband.

"Alright, you win, Lord Broly. From now on, I will be your loyal subordinate, and I will carry out your orders until the end of your life."

Atofi conceded defeat.

"Hey, why are you giving up so easily now?"

Broly was somewhat surprised by this.

"I'm not stupid. I know my own body's condition. I don't even have the strength to lift my arm, so how am I supposed to fight?"

Atofi said, quite the bachelor.

"Since you're willing to admit defeat, then..."

Broly returned some gas to Atofi.

"Just help me with the work."

"Yes."

Artofi Latofi responded, dressed, and then gathered his personal guard to prepare to help Broly abduct women.

"No, I just need you to gather everyone together so I can take a look."

"Don't you need to strip them naked and send them to your bed?"

"No need, thank you."

Broly's forehead was covered in black lines, while the little god laughed heartily beside him.

"But this doesn't feel like the Demon King at all."

Artofi Latofi began to complain.

"I'm not a demon king."

"Oh, that's right. You're the hero who defeated the Demon King, Muya..."

"Lord Atofei."

Muya, who looked like an old man, came to Atofi's side.

"I'll leave this kind of thing, which is not at all like something a demon king would do, to you."

As for me, I'll be preparing a victory celebration banquet.

"What do you want to celebrate?"

"That's of course to celebrate the hero's successful defeat of the Demon King!"

By the way, Lord Broly, what title do you want?

A hero of the sword, a hero of the finger, or a hero of the palm?

These three titles correspond to the three times Artofi was defeated by Broly.

. . . . .

Atofi was a strange immortal demon lord. After being defeated, she showed no sign of discouragement. Instead, she enthusiastically threw a victory celebration for Broly.

Broly was warmly received by Atofi in the city of Lycaris for a while. When he said goodbye, he was wearing a heavy suit of armor used for the Royal Guard's training. He had discovered that weight training could improve his physical strength when he was in a low mood.

In addition to this, he also acquired the title of Sword Hero, as well as a letter of introduction written by Muya, the captain of Atofi Latofi's personal guard.

As long as you go to other demon lord territories and deliver the letters to those demon lords, those demon lords will all give Atofi face.

Provide Broly with some conveniences, such as gathering the women in his own territory and showing them to him.

Defeating the immortal demon king Atofi has many benefits, making Broly more efficient in finding unknown targets to conquer in the demon continent.

Unfortunately, I don't know if there are really no romance targets recognized by Crystal Palace on the Demon Continent, or if they were just overlooked, but I still can't find any.

Fortunately, Broly wasn't too upset. After completing his journey through the Demon Continent, he still had three more playthroughs to complete.

Just as he set off westward from Krasma City, beginning his arduous ascent of the extremely high-altitude Sky Continent, he unexpectedly encountered the man named Orstide once again on the stunningly beautiful Aurora Plateau.
