Chapter 628: 208. It’s not impossible!
The magma flows slowly.
Everything in sight is a blood-like crimson.
In this world of flames, a white cocoon of light drifts slowly, within which two Demon Kings are chaotically wrestling.
"You bastard, this king will kill..."
At this moment, the power within Yuzao is slowly being siphoned by Fujiwara Reya, causing her strength to plummet dramatically.
As her power wanes, Fujiwara Reya’s strength grows ever more formidable.
"Damn tengu! How dare you show such disrespect to this king. Once I regain my power, I’ll kill you..."
Even in such a dire situation, the proud Lady Yuzao bites her silver teeth, her face cold and harsh.
※※※※※
At the dead bottom of the volcano, amid the scorching heat, the cocoon drifts aimlessly.
Who knows how much time has passed, but the two bodies eventually come to a halt, each falling into a deep slumber.
Fujiwara Reya is immersed in an extremely strange sensation.
Immense, pure energy floods into his body, washing over his organs and meridians. The high temperature spreads into every corner of his body, allowing him to clearly feel his blood boiling, meridians twisting, and bones creaking under the strain...
Beside him, Yuzao doesn’t seem to fare well either.
The energy she had just obtained is swiftly drained away, bringing her power down to the level of a Demon King, far from its peak. But the energy drain is merely exhaustion; what torments her truly is the struggle between their souls for dominance.
As time passes, the pain on the queen’s cheeks seems to lessen slightly.
The color in her eyes seems to merge subtly without her realizing...
Fujiwara Reya’s fingertip suddenly twitches.
His tightly shut eyes snap open!
Sight still filled with endless magma, yet he feels no heat. He looks down at his own body, robust and flawless, his five fingers slowly clenching with unfamiliarity, an unprecedented surge of power thrilling his spirit!
Demon Venerable...
He seems to have stood at the pinnacle of the world.
"Seems it wasn’t a very honorable gain..."
Fujiwara Reya chuckles, his face flushed, brimming with unprecedented vitality.
He summoned his demonic power, a rumbling sound echoing from within, and a torrent of overwhelming demonic power surged wildly from every corner of his body. Ultimately, this furious demonic energy became gentle under his command, transforming into a translucent and bright Demon Fire, dancing at his fingertips.
Powerful demonic power, controlled at will.
His pitch-black eyes flickered with a strange light as Fujiwara Reya’s shoulder lightly shook, dispelling the power. He then stretched with a big yawn, feeling refreshed; his confidence reached a new peak— "Izanami, let’s have another battle!"
"Hmm~"
A soft murmur sounded beside him.
Oh, you’re just a Demon King now, so don’t blame me... Fujiwara Reya turned his head to look at Yuzao, a decidedly undignified grin quickly spreading across his lips...
Yuzao’s lashes trembled lightly.
She murmured a few sounds at her nose, then slowly opened her eyes. In the reddish glow of the magma, her soft white skin shimmered with an enticing blush.
Just waking up, Yuzao felt her surroundings were a bit off. When her gaze swept around, her elegant brows immediately furrowed.
Especially after sensing the abundant demonic power within Fujiwara Reya, her previously indifferent expression turned to an extreme scowl.
Fujiwara Reya lazily straightened his body, looking up at those golden eyes mixed with black streaks, smiling: "What? The power I have now is all thanks to your Fox Clan. In other words, I’m kind of your masterpiece; satisfied?"
Yuzao’s seductive eyes shot a chill in her gaze.
She couldn’t show a pleasant expression towards this tengu who had taken such advantage of her and was now unashamed.
Noticing her icy gaze, Fujiwara Reya subtly leaned a bit forward.
He had been very wary of this vixen, but now... Just behave well as Yuzao Baby, with Aunt there within you, I won’t do anything to you. But if you continue to act so high and mighty as when we first met...
"You..."
Yuzao’s heart skipped a beat, her hands pushing her body backward.
The surrounding magma blazed, exuding a terrifying heat, and the bare young man before her, though smiling warmly, exuded a threatening aura from his eyes that made the proud queen feel icy cold deep down.
Fujiwara Reya sized her up from bottom to top, eyes meeting for a brief moment.
Also bare, Yuzao’s anger surged, her rosy lips curling into a disdainful smirk: "Bold, don’t want your eyes anymore!"
Fujiwara Reya let out a dry laugh.
He edged closer slowly, while Yuzao seemed to sense the situation wasn’t in her favor, her body filling with icy killing intent in an instant.
"Looking for death?"
He paid no heed to her threat.
Watching the young man draw nearer, Yuzao felt the chill at her back against the cocoon, leaving her with no retreat. Murderous intent flooded from her golden eyes, and she waved her alabaster arm, sending a burst of demonic power from her palm heavily onto Fujiwara Reya’s chest.
The result was only to cause him to pause for less than a second.
"Damn it..."
Yuzao’s face turned to its utmost grim.
After the Fox Clan’s preparations had been drained, she now had only Yayako’s demonic power and...though she possessed the realm of a Demon Venerable, the power she could exert was less than one-third of her peak strength. In this state, Lady Yuzao was at her most vulnerable.
