The juxtaposition of the opposing forces of light and darkness collided, giving rise to a vehement explosion and shockwave. Both Yuyi and the Abyssal Black Dragon were sent flying, somersaulting in the air.
I propelled "Yaye" towards Yuyi, exclaiming loudly, "Xiaoya, take care of Yuyi." Subsequently, employing the technique of "instantaneous movement," I materialized above the Abyssal Black Dragon.
In its current state of dizziness, the Abyssal Black Dragon had yet to discern my silhouette. It felt immobilized, unable to move a fraction of its colossal form.
The spatial magic I employed was a creation of my own after the battle with Lucifer, named "Spatial Sealing." It solidified a localized space, rendering any object within it incapable of movement, unless the space was shattered or I released it.
My technique, the "Grand Dimensional Slash," had proven formidable even against Lucifer. It underscored the potency of this spatial magic, suggesting considerable room for development. Hence, I diligently researched it, birthing several new magical arts, with "Spatial Sealing" being one of them.
Indeed, I am a prodigy.
After sealing the Abyssal Black Dragon, I struck my own chest with a fist, spewing forth a gush of hot blood. Using telekinesis, I shaped the blood in mid-air into a symbol, imprinting it directly onto the forehead of the Abyssal Black Dragon.
This was the ultimate summoning magic, the "Azure Blood Covenant." Any magical creature marked by this symbol would form a summoning pact. However, the magic required was immensely colossal, beyond even the capabilities of Linca. I employed it for the first time, uncertain of its efficacy.
Suddenly, I sensed a powerful disturbance in my psyche, realizing that the Abyssal Black Dragon was resisting the magical pact with its colossal mental strength. Urgently, I exerted all my power to suppress it.
A peculiar spectacle unfolded in the air as the lone figure and the dragon stood still, surrounded by an aura of strangeness. Yuyi, transformed back into her human form, was supported by Yaye and floated not far from me. Alongside Xiaonu, they remained vigilant, ready to intervene at any moment.
Since acquiring the combined attributes of an angel and a demon, my abilities had multiplied several times over, including my psychic strength. Without a doubt, I was now a formidable adversary for the Abyssal Black Dragon.
The covenant symbol finally turned into a golden hue, and the Abyssal Black Dragon's mental resistance abruptly vanished. The task was finally accomplished.
I breathed a sigh of relief, dispelling the "Spatial Sealing." The majestic voice of the Abyssal Black Dragon echoed, "I bow to my master, please give me your instructions."
I patted my wings, saying, "Very well, from now on, you shall be called Lazybug, accompanying me." Xiaoya couldn't help but laugh, "Master, you truly have a talent for naming. The Phoenix is called Chatterbird, the Earth Bear is named Scruffy, and this terrifying Abyssal Black Dragon is now Lazybug. Hahaha... truly amusing."
And thus, the Abyssal Black Dragon, who had dominated the demonic realm for millennia, became my Lazybug. As I engaged in fierce battles with the Dragon Riders and forged pacts with the Silver Magic Wolf, Thunder Beast, and Deep Sea Dragon, they, too, became my summoned creatures. I casually gave them names: Silver Magic Wolf - Blade, Thunder Beast - Dimwit, Deep Sea Dragon - Bluehide. The foundation of the formidable "Beast Legion" was laid.
Returning to the "City of Darkness" with Lazybug to report, the entire demonic realm trembled. Even Lucifer did not anticipate that I would effortlessly complete such a monumental task.
However, what astonished him the most was the transformation of Yuyi and me. Yuyi openly confessed that she would no longer be his adversary and had become my attendant. Lucifer couldn't help but envy me. This former subordinate and opponent had once been the object of his covetous desires.
Fortunately, Lucifer kept his promise. Not only did he agree to allow me to return to the Holy Demon Continent with Yaye through the "Transfer Gate," but he also reluctantly bestowed upon me the "Armor of the Heart" and the "Annihilation Ring." Of course, even if he hadn't, I wouldn't have returned these two treasures.
Thus, accompanied by Yaye, Yuyi, Xiaonu, three exquisite beauties, and ten Dragon Riders, I entered the "Transfer Gate." The Dragon Rider unit was led by Lahart, acting on my behalf, staying in the demonic realm, ready to receive my commands.
My dear Liviya, I have returned.
Elvenking City Royal Palace.
Liviya stood quietly in the palace garden, her pale and haggard face filled with profound sorrow and longing, exuding a poignant beauty.
A graceful movement caught her attention, and two exquisite beauties, Orlina and Fioa, walked into the garden. They quietly approached Liviya, who stood like a stone sculpture. The three princesses exchanged a sigh.
Liviya gently turned her delicate body, saying, "Why have you two come here again, Princesses?"
Orlina sighed, "This should be our line. Since Mr. Wu disappeared, you've been staying here all day. Look at how haggard you've become."
Liviya smiled faintly, "When he was here, I deliberately provoked him and opposed him. But since his disappearance, it's as if my heart has disappeared as well. I no longer have any feelings for anything else. If I could turn back time, I would definitely treat him with absolute deference and never provoke his anger..."
The two princesses sensed the profound emotions in the words of this renowned "Swordmaster of Illusions," envisioning the somewhat rogue yet unforgettable figure of Mr. Wu.
At this moment, the light in the garden suddenly dimmed, revealing a black hexagram magic array. Startled from their musings, the three ladies were awoken. Orlina exclaimed, "Is this not the rumored magic array of the demon race? How could it appear here..."
Before the melodious voice could finish, a large group of figures suddenly appeared in the garden, and the magic array disappeared with them. The three ladies were utterly shocked. At the forefront of this group were three unparalleled beauties, each with a distinct and resplendent charm. One was dressed in white armor, exuding an immaculate aura like a descending fairy. The other two wore pure black armor, one radiating an air of nobility and arrogance, while the third exuded a cold, alluring charm.
Behind them stood a dozen uniformed black-armored warriors. Although their number was small, their aura resembled that of an army, intimidating anyone who saw them. Clearly, each of them was a warrior capable of facing a hundred enemies.
Liviya and the other two princesses were unarmed, and now they faced a group of fully armed warriors. Fear struck their hearts. Princess Fioa raised her voice, "Who are you people? What do you want?"
The lady in the pristine white armor, resembling a goddess with her golden hair, smiled gently amidst the group of black-armored warriors. She said, "Do not be anxious; we harbor no ill intentions. We merely follow our master. By the way, which one among you is Miss Liviya?"
Liviya felt a curious flutter in her heart and stepped forward, saying, "That would be me. How do you know my name?"
The aristocratic and enchanting beauty, akin to a blooming peony, smiled and said, "Indeed, you are a stunning beauty. No wonder..."
Her gaze glanced briefly behind her, and she continued, "No wonder someone cannot forget about you."
Her words seemed somewhat cryptic, deepening Liviya's sense of curiosity about their identities. However, the three peerless beauties, unmatched in their own right, gracefully knelt before her, each with a lightness of movement, and in unison, they spoke, "Yuyi, Yaye, Xiaonu, pay our respects to Miss Liviya."
