As demon man said, Eleonora mind's got corrupted by dark energy easily as it completely erased the memories of warmth... Right now, all she was seeing was cold eyes of Emperor and how he only looked at her cold techniques instead of her.
The weapon... part of strength of Cursus Empire meant to oppose those from opposite continent...
The warmth of Xue Ren was her last defense against her sorrow and as she lost it, together with the memories of her past, Eleonora easily lost herself in corruption as she kept shaking head while screaming.
Xue Ren who saw her like that also felt painful. Without thinking, he already went past the half of the formation. However, just like the demon man presence disappeared completely, Eleonora once more lost her mind and released a huge coldness freezing the whole basement.
In her mind, she was little kid without anyone and anything. Only listening to Emperor's orders, she kept showing him her cold techniques unconsciously... And because of that, the body of Eleonora released her aura without controlling her mid black rank strength...
It kept attacking Xue Ren, freezing him and slowing his movement. The pain was enormous as the difference was about whole rank. Nevertheless, Xue Ren still was doing his best to move forward unleashing his fire, then divine fire accompanied with his sin energy...
Only this mix of three different fires allowed him to keep moving forward after all those attacks in this cold storm. Soon, snowflakes also began to appear similiar to their first meeting slashing his body deeply.
With his hair already frozen cold, heavy clothes and blood all over his body, Xue Ren have never thought about those as he went forward. There was only one thing...
Weak!
He was so weak that even the snowstorm was loud enough to silence his thoughts...
And even though he got cold resistance and aura with divine snow, Xue Ren had only gotten those recently, thus, he hadn't time to increase them meaning that even with those attributes, he had still problems moving forward.
Soon, he got quite close to Eleonora, but it also meant that the coldness got even stronger and feeling as if he can not move anymore, Xue Ren did his best to raise his hand. Calling the cold little dragon that Eleonora had with herself all the time, Xue Ren ordered him inwardly.
The cold dragon shivered and began releasing divine fire as it changed the attributes already. Xue Ren with his hand raised, began passing down every drop of his divine energy warming the body and mind of snow woman.
It wasn't enough to stop the corruption as Eleonora needed something different. However, it was enough to stop the snowstorm for several seconds. As Xue Ren shattered the ice on most of his body, he jumped forward immediately hugging the snow beauty.
He also added kiss, but the reason for that was his new technique called 'Domination'. The name was quite strange, but it allowed Xue Ren to connect with his women thoroughly for a while. The longer the kiss, the longer the effect.
Thus, increasing their already made connection, Xue Ren got Eleonora's black rank power and resistances. Since she lost her mind, Xue Ren controlled her already weak snowstorm and made it disappear completely...
It was already weak, because all she needed was the hug from the very Xue Ren filled with his warmth, not the divine energy...
However, Eleonora was still weak, shivering in his embrace as she unconsciously hugged Xue Ren while he answered as well, hugging her tightly. However, the crack was still on her cheek and the duo couldn't stay in their embrace any longer as Kuzan spoke.
"The old man is coming with his maids. Looks like he had taken ten more pills though."
Xue Ren didn't react immediately... After some time, he stood up and approached the wall. Using the earth attribute, he began creating something akin to elevator as there was no need to hide anymore. Loudly going up, Xue Ren prepared to quickly disappear above with his not too fast speed.
In the middle, he could hear shrieks of women as all they saw was violet skeleton without any magic whatsoever...
-
Leaving the mansion as fast as possible, Xue Ren appeared before Linnil who was waiting for them patiently. When she saw Eleonora in his arms without her mask, she got stupefied. Then, her eyes landed on Xue Ren who had blood all over. In fact, it already flowed on Eleonora as well...
"I have... I have medicines!"
She wanted to take out her medicines, but Xue Ren stopped her as he shook his head. All he wanted was to leave this place, thus, the duo began escaping as the loud shouts already began leaving the mansion...
Moving between enormours trees, Xue Ren was checking his surroundings non stop with a bit of impatiently. He already wanted to put Eleonora in warm bed, and hold her even tightly. Soon, he stopped and released his awareness even more as he focused on the path ahead.
It was then...
"Xue Ren!"
Kuzan shouted as he already felt the approaching danger. However, Xue Ren who had only Eleonora in mind didn't notice it. Soon, his back got pierced by sudden hand covered in dark violet energy. But, it couldn't go deep enough and actually got frozen by Xue Ren's cold aura as he kept his lips on Eleonora...
Using the vision he could share with Kuzan, Xue Ren looked at Linnil who had attacked him. Her whole body changed. From Big Sister Linnil, she began changing into seductive demoness with broken horn as her body was even more voluptuous.
But Xue Ren wasn't looking at her body, only directly into her eyes.
"Hmmm, no reaction at all?~~ Were you suspicious? Haa~~ And there I thought I could take down both you and Snow Princess."
"You are fucking dead."
Xue Ren spoke as he lightly parted his lips from Eleonora's. His voice was hoarse, filled with hostility as the eyes of his already became spiralling white with black eyeballs.
