Chapter 287: Chapter 31 Initially Used Only 30% of Strength

"Be careful, human... It seems impolite to keep calling you human. How should I address you?"

The Helde Ice Demon Queen spoke, surrounding herself with a long, blue, and transparent spear. It radiated terrifying power and pointed directly at Yila, with frost forming around it, showcasing the danger of the Mana condensed within.

The moment she finished speaking, almost instantly, the ice spear shot out, buzzing in the air and disappearing... it flew so fast that only a flash of blue could be seen.

"Bang~"

Yila swiftly waved his hand, his arm covered in crimson Mana. His arm deflected the incoming ice spear, causing it to crash into the ground and explode into a three- to four-meter radius of ice crystals.

Even from this brief contact, Yila’s arm was covered in a faint layer of frost, which quickly melted due to the intense heat... but it was clear that the Ice Demon Queen was not an easy opponent.

Although not enough to put Yila into a *struggle*, she wasn’t an opponent he could face with a *playful* attitude... though Yila never underestimated any battle before the outcome was decided.

"Yila."

Yila said, his gaze lingering briefly on the ice flower on the ground before he released flames to melt it. This act left the Ice Demon Queen momentarily stunned before she laughed again.

"Sharp senses, Yila."

Yila nodded at the queen’s compliment and responded, "Indeed, everyone I know says the same. What should I call you?"

The Helde Ice Demon Queen·Queen Crowned Glasis Demon continued to smile and responded, "Call me ’Hehe’; I casually gave myself this name."

Yila couldn’t deny it.

"It’s certainly a casual name."

In the audience, Hilena and Satan Ye had been waiting in the front-row VIP seats for quite a while. But they hadn’t seen the two truly engage... instead, it looked like they were flirting, constantly eyeing each other.

Was it to find weaknesses? Or something else... Hilena and Satan Ye couldn’t figure it out.

However, Yila was not disrespectful. He didn’t approach the duel like combat experts from his previous world, filling the atmosphere with background music and spending forever looking for weaknesses.

Yila and Hehe shared the same thought: use enough power to defeat the opponent without causing serious harm.

This was the most troublesome aspect of a *sparring match*.

But Hehe, the Helde Ice Demon Queen, seemed to find an appropriate interval just as Yila finished speaking. She disappeared from Hilena and Satan Ye’s view.

The moment Hehe disappeared, Yila had already made an attacking move.

"Boom!!"

When Hehe reappeared, she was in mid-leap, attacking with a blue-ice colored cone in hand, aiming at Yila... but Yila’s flames stopped her in mid-air.

In the next moment, Hehe was forced back by the fire ring that burst forth from Yila.

"Hehe, your speed... incredibly fast."

Yila said casually.

"You too, your reactions, for a human, are too fast... Yila!"

Hehe had an excited smile on her face, then continued with successive advances, almost instantly appearing beside Yila. Yet each attack was repelled by Yila.

She continued relentlessly with her offensive... each time. Yila left flaming scars on her. It wasn’t that Yila didn’t want to unleash a massive blast flame to decide the outcome, but her speed was indeed fast.

This wasn’t praise... When Yila located her position and launched his attack, it only allowed him to accumulate such an attack. But he wasn’t worried.

Because it meant she could only prepare this level of attack... allowing Yila to repel her easily.

This was *Wing Spread*, the extent of Mana output at this moment, equivalent to about half the strength of the strongest legends... looking at Satan Ye’s expression, Mana was quickly depleting.

"Boom~"

"Bang!"

As the clashes continued, the temperature in the vast arena began to drop. The surroundings turned into frosty terrain... similar to the earlier ice flower emitting cold.

Visibly, Hehe’s speed continued to increase...

The ice spear diverted by Yila exploded on the ground, leaving growing ice marks... Was Yila being overpowered? Or was he holding back?

Actually, both Yila and the Ice Demon Queen had similar thoughts... Yila had a request and preferred to take the Underground Demon King City through peaceful means. Hehe acknowledged Yila’s strength but was also concerned about her subordinates in the stands.

If both went all out, the spectators’ lives would be at risk. Clearly, Yila held back more... as to how much, only Yila himself knew.

So, both were carefully compressing their power into focused areas, the impact wasn’t strong. Even the wind pressure only blew the wigs off some demons in the audience, a *storm*, rather than overturning the entire arena, including this part of Hell.

"Phew, it’s so cold..."

Hehe said, despite her race not fearing the cold, pretending to rub her slender shoulders, while the air filled with numerous ice spikes, enveloping Yila.

"Indeed, very cold... Hehe, are you using your full strength?"

Yila spoke smoothly, his tone calm, watching Hehe’s confident demeanor, listening to her say, "About fifty percent output, and I’m holding back to avoid harming innocents... you’re doing the same, right?"

Is that so? Then, I should use more force...

"First Wing Pillar·Crimson Dragon·Wing Shattering... Though you may not believe it, I’ll start using similar output. I suggest you use your full strength for defense."

Accompanied by Yila’s voice, crimson wings shattered behind him and reformed, converging into the massive wings of *Wing Shattering*. Satan Ye also relaxed somewhat...

Though they said this, their previous exchanges left the terrain nearly shaved down, with the stands also in shambles from their controlled impacts.

Beverages and snacks scattered everywhere.

"Are you ready?!"

The fiery Yila asked, enveloped in crimson radiance, instantly destroying the frosty terrain Hehe had built... forcing Hehe to utilize all her strength from this moment for caution.

In the next moment, Yila disappeared into the air, reappearing in front of Hehe...

...

So fast!!!!
