Rise of the Lustful Evil Monarch (Re)-Chapter 503: Journey Across Continents (1)

Third Person’s POV

"What are you doing here?" Nyx demanded coldly.

"And why are you carrying my disciple?"

Her eyes flicked briefly to Ethan before returning to Isha, remaining sharp and unyielding. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"What are your intentions, Isha, for you to appear here secretly? State them clearly, or something you will regret will happen."

Even as the final words left her lips, Nyx did not pause to wait for an answer.

In the next instant, she stepped forward and entered the white orb surrounding Isha as if she had teleported again, passing through its boundary without resistance.

Without ceremony or courtesy, she took Ethan’s body from Isha’s arms.

Isha offered no resistance and silently handed him over and stepping aside as though this matter no longer concerned her.

As she did this, her expression remained composed and unreadable, though a trace of unknown emotion coursed through her being which even she didn’t understand at this point.

But Nyx was not in any mood to pay attention to Isha’s expressions at the moment and guess her thoughts.

Her face was still calm and cold as it was completely focused on Ethan.

Her smooth, white palms darkened completel,y and a deep, ominous hue spread across her hands as she placed them against Ethan’s skin.

Instantly, the hexweave dark curse, shaped unmistakably like a spider, reacted sharply and manifested once again, crawling visibly across his body and covering his whole form in it.

Seeing it and taking a moment to understand its severity, Nyx’s slit pupils started trembling.

An unfamiliar emotion flashed through her eyes, one so subtle that no one present could name it with certainty.

No one knew it it was fear, fury, anxiety, or perhaps a mixture of all three.

Even Isha had never seen Nyx wear such an expression, and the sight caused her faint smile to finally fade as she realized the degree to which this boy mattered to Nyx.

Sensing what was about to happen, Isha quietly extended her hand, prepared.

Unexpectedly, Nyx suddenly pulled Ethan closer and pressed her forehead gently against his.

She closed her eyes and remained still for several long moments while the air around them became tense and heavy with unspoken thoughts.

But it was then, at last, that she released a slow breath that was clearly a sigh of relief.

It seemed she had confirmed something important.

In the next second, Nyx handed Ethan’s unconscious form back to Isha, and their eyes met briefly as she did that.

Nyx’s gaze was once again cold and sharp, with any trace of her previous turbulent emotion sealed away.

"Hmph," she snorted softly. "I will deal with you later."

Her eyes shifted toward the distant battlefield.

"But for now, you have to look after him since you have come here already.

As for me, I have to kill that old dog today, no matter what."

As she finished speaking, twin black dragon wings burst forth from her shoulders.

Without another word, a black spatial vortex opened behind her, and she stepped backward into it.

The vortex closed instantly, leaving no trace of her presence.

Meanwhile, the ground beneath them had changed during the brief exchange between the two dragonesses.

The lifeless land had vanished completely, only to be replaced by a vast, surging sea of blood.

The crimson surface rippled violently and exuded a thick metallic stench as the battlefield continued to descend into something far more horrific than before.

Isha slowly turned her gaze back toward the battlefield and witnessed the terrifying transformation that had overtaken the Sanctum while their small moment happened.

A vast, surging sea of blood now covered the entire realm where crimson waves rolled endlessly across the landscape, rising and crashing against one another with a heavy, wet resonance.

From those violent tides, enormous blood dragons began to rise into the air, their massive forms coiling upward as though born from the sea itself.

Their roars shook the world.

The sound was deep and resonant and reverberated through the dark sky as they ascended in the air.

Once airborne, the blood dragons opened their massive maws and unleashed torrents of blood flame breath.

The scorching streams collided violently with the roaming ghost heads that still lingered in the heavens.

The ghost heads retaliated instinctively and spewed their pale green soul burning green flames, but this time, their flames were overwhelmed.

The blood flames devoured them completely and swept through the sky without slowing, and detonated in violent explosions that shook the firmament.

Each explosion tore apart large swathes of the oppressive black mist that had blanketed the sky.

Slowly but steadily, the suffocating gloom was forced back, yet instead of restoring peace, the clearing only revealed the Sanctum in its full devastation, a scorched and twisted realm that now resembled a dark hellscape.

And while this happened, Altheria was not idle as her domain reversing spell clashed relentlessly against Dajjal’s oppressive realm.

Six colossal blood blades circled around her slender figure as she floated openly above the crimson sea, calm yet commanding, while six towering demon god manifestations surrounded her from every direction.

Each manifestation wielded twin demonic sabres like before, attacking her without pause.

Their strikes fell continuously, carving through space with destructive force.

The sounds of their clashes filled the air with just the sparks and shockwaves, capable of annihilating someone like Ethan instantly.

Nyx’s earlier ambush and Altheria’s devastating strike had seemingly failed to diminish Dajjal’s will; if anything, his assaults had grown even fiercer.

The earlier arrogance in his movements was gone, and in its place remained only grim, unwavering determination.

As Altheria and the manifestations exchanged blow after blow, their domain-reversing spells collided in tandem, invisible forces grinding against each other beneath the visible carnage.

It was then that, without warning, a massive dark dragon claw descended from the sky.

It was even larger than before as it fell with terrifying speed and precision and flattened two of the demon god manifestations instantly.

There was no drawn out clash and only a thunderous impact that erased them into nothingness.
