Chapter 390 - Tyrant vs Mistress (1/2)

After returning to the City that was still trembling in fear due to the malevolent burst of spiritual energy, Nik felt that in a short time, he had too many things to deal with. First, he had to take the treasure from Ye Zong that the monster wanted. If Nik helped Ziyun out, he didn't expect to be rewarded, that is why he would be demanding it shamelessly. Second, he needed to interrogate the Crystal-haired women and find out everything about the Dark Guild and use the information to destroy it and raze it to the ground. This shit had gotten personal.

Third, he felt the need to heal quickly and also compensate Ray.

Instead of flying directly to the City alongside Ray and exposing their partnership, Nik landed outside the City and let Ray down. The girl behind Nik, however, landed right onto his shoulder lightly. Taking a deep breath, the duo fell on their butts and looked at each other.

”We won, yay...” Ray muttered in exhaustion as Nik shook his head and took out one of the most expensive items in his inventory but was unable to use it till now— Siren's Call. At Nik's will, a beautifully crafted flute appeared in his active palm, and he handed out the item to Ray. Accepting the flute without any formalities, Ray looked at the description of the item and raised his eyebrows in astonishment. Finally pocketing the item, Ray stood up and then looked at Nik's right arm.

There were many healing items in the system, and Ray held many of them for such situations, but to heal shattered bones of such intensity would require a dark purple level healing potion, something Ray only had a single vial of.

”That right arm...” Ray whispered in distress as Nik shrugged. One month would be required if he used his current capabilities. But who said that Nik couldn't use his current troubles to train his skills. Part of the reason why his [Life Energy Manipulation] couldn't surpass level 9 was due to his controlling skills remaining unchallenged. In its stark contrast, Nik utilized his [Body Manipulation] could reach such heights was due to him using this particular skill in the remaining time to turn himself into various forms of monstrosity.

Two dicks, three dicks, five arms, seven tongues, four noses, thirteen toes, an exoskeleton, 3 meter long nails...

It was fun!

And with that, his skill skyrocketed. Now, Nik had a chance to further his control over the body through experiencing the power required to join shards of bones and ruined muscles and tendons. Deep down, he was excited about such a challenge. Not to mention that this severed damage might finally be the key to raise his [Life Energy Manipulation] to another level and gain a special boost for his skill.

”Then what about her?”

Ray directed her gaze towards Nik captive, making him smile brilliantly.

Of course, no more inquiry was required to guess her fate.

You mess with the lust apostle; fear the punishment of thick dong.

”I should be leaving then,” Ray exhaled deeply and then slowly walked towards the gates of the City. For a moment, the surrounding guardsmen fell asleep while Ray entered the City unhindered. Seeing this, Nik's gaze flashed in realization— The City's defense was extremely fragile.

As Ray left, Nik used the remaining stream of energy and molded it into Life Energy while manipulating the shards embedded into muscles to carefully retract. As the shards of bones retracted, Nik continuously supplied his entire right arm with Life Energy to mend his muscles and flesh.

This was merely a temporary patch up. Nik needed to use inscriptions to boost his energy reservoir indirectly and then start to control an overflowing amount of Life Energy to raise his level and recover from his injuries.

With a sigh, he also walked towards the City gates and entered the streets. And, unwilling to garner too much attention this time around, he actively used his [Lust Domain] and [Pheromone Illusion] to avert the prying gazes and returned to Shen Xiu's estate. His arrival instantly made Xue Yin and Shen Xiu breathe a sigh of relief, but in the next moment, answering to their brewing questions, Nik let them visualize the entire battle for themselves. Shen Yue, at this moment, only stood blankly on the couch as Ray's sweet whispers called for him.

After an exhausting battle, Ray, of course, required fresh blood for 'sacrifice.'

***

The underground battles were more active than ever!

Korra— The Tyran— actually defeated another Spirit Elder (3 Rings)! Korra only had a single spirit ring on her martial spirit— Berserk Arctic Bear. Previously, she was able to defeat a Spirit Elder only after grievous injuries, but now, she did it with such an ease that it made the crowd go wild.

”This is the might of the Tyrant! Cheer! The Martial Legend's apprentice truly lives up to her status!”

The crowd went wild!

The underground fight arenas were surrounded by multiple sound dampening inscriptions, so every single one within the arena failed to notice the Demon Lord's assault, Ye Ziyun's failed abduction and Nik taking up the challenge before flying away with a smack on his butt to enrage the Demon Lord!

Not to mention the fact that the Demon Lord had too many spirit rings!

61!

”Cheh! What's so great about elemental Spirit Elders? I want to fight a warrior!”

Korra groaned and stretched her limbs. There was barely a patch of burn on her elbow as she smashed into the previous spirit elder's flaming chest.

At this time, the commentator's enthusiasm skyrocketed, and he choked with emotions.

”People! A new challenger has appeared!

She used to rule lower levels of the battles! She defeated the current Tyrant no less than 10 times before retiring!”

His words made Korra narrow her eyes while the surrounding arena howled and cackled! This was the place where they could let their wild self out! What aristocracy? What tradesmen? They all were madmen infected by each other's primal madness!

”That's right! Give a loud cheer for Mistress...”

As the commentator trailed his words, the audience cheered wildly, ”ASAMI!!!!”

***

”What?”

The Demon Lord's defeat did not shock Xue Yin as much as Nik's increased proficiency in inscription patterns. While his experience was still lower than Xue Yin, his practical ability had astonishingly left the dumbstruck master far behind!

”How can you draw inscriptions with such precision and pace?!”
