NOVEL NEXT Chapter 528: MingYue vs KuroSora
'You better not show her out here. It's too dangerous.'
'Don't worry. I will just make her unconscious, then bring her to Edonia.'
'Hmm... In that case, Alex, while you check the information, can you open the door?
I want to try fighting her.'
"Sure."
Alex's finger glowed green, and he began drawing formations in the air.
Far away, back in the room, Kageyasha observed what happened.
His gaze was sharp.
"Emperor, is it alright to let him do this?"
Asked a man standing beside him. His body was lean and covered completely in black armor, showing only his eyes.
"Do you have a better idea?
This is good for us anyway. If he is that capable, maybe he can really cure her.
Even his father cannot interfere with our formation like this."
"But will the young lady be alright?
I heard they were the ones behind the invasion on other sects and clans. They should be strong enough."
"They need my cooperation…
I am sure they know where the line is.
If they cross it, I won't mind fighting them to the death.
Anyway, do you have the report?"
"Yes, sir. I have seen movement from the Silver Snake clan. It seems they will make a big move soon.
Their emperor also left, meeting with others.
Other than this, I got news—the fox empress is coming toward the spider empress's place."
"Hmm…
Find out what they are talking about. As for the snake emperor, just let him be.
There's nothing we can do."
"Alright."
It wasn't that the silver emperor was stronger than the fox, just that the task was different.
Kageyasha wanted to know what the silver snake emperor was doing, but asking him would be pointless.
Meanwhile, Yubina's movement surprised him.
She usually stayed silent in her territory.
The man just needed to infiltrate there and find out more information or rumors.
He could also go to the spider territory—after all, the arrival of another emperor would surely spark talk.
"Don't forget to bring some tools to infiltrate their hive mind."
"Yes, Emperor."
Meanwhile, inside the huge cell, Mingyue faced Kurosora.
Unlike the beasts, Kurosora didn't quickly leap. She just let out a growl, her body in a posture, preparing to move at any second.
Mingyue could see Kurosora's shadow fluctuating like some kind of energy.
The movement was very minuscule, but because her eyes were focused, she didn't miss it.
The fluctuation then suddenly grew more intense.
Mingyue ducked.
Kurosora appeared behind her, swiping her sharp claw where her neck had been.
In response, Mingyue spread her frost qi. Since she didn't want to accidentally hurt Kurosora, she didn't take out her sword or use lethal techniques.
The frost qi's goal was to lower the temperature and slow Kurosora's movements.
But before it reached Kurosora, she had already disappeared.
Moving through the shadows, she reappeared ten steps away from Mingyue.
"GRAWR!"
The shadows around her turned solid, then pierced through the air like a spear.
Mingyue smiled.
The cold qi around her began gathering, forming hundreds of ice spikes.
With a flick of her finger, the spikes shot out, meeting Kurosora's attack head-on.
The furniture in the room would have turned to ashes if not for the formation moving it elsewhere.
BAM! CLANG! CLANG!
Normally, the ice spikes would freeze everything they touched. Unfortunately, their opponent was a shadow.
They pierced through the ice spikes, continuing their trajectory toward Mingyue.
Seeing this, Mingyue sprinted forward, dodging each shadow spear with minimal movement.
She ducked, jumped, and rolled until she arrived in front of Kurosora.
With one motion, Mingyue threw a punch at her face.
BAM!
Her cold qi spread, freezing part of Kurosora's cheek.
Kurosora growled, twisting her body away as shadows gathered around her hand.
The shadow twisted like a snake, forming into a large, sharp claw, slashing toward Mingyue's side.
Mingyue kicked off the ground, backflipping to avoid the attack.
"GRAA!"
The shadows around them started moving, expanding and filling the entire space with darkness.
Mingyue raised her senses to the max, but she could no longer feel Kurosora's life force.
Instead, she felt something sinister.
In reflex, her progenitor aura spread out.
The shadows suddenly grew erratic, and countless eyes appeared all around Mingyue, glaring at her with intense wrath.
'Why am I feeling like this…?'
Mingyue frowned. She felt as if she were facing someone she hated more than anything—someone she wanted to crush into dust with nothing left.
'This is not good!'
Mingyue grew worried. If she continued to fight, she might be taken away by the overwhelming emotion.
The feeling kept growing, showing no sign of stopping.
"Alex! Take me out!"
The moment she said this, her surroundings changed. She appeared in front of the prison cell.
Alex stood at the side, his crimson eyes coldly watching the cell.
Inside, everything remained pitch black, with countless eyes staring at them, filled with fury.
Alex recognized the presence—it was eerily familiar.
'Those damned eyeballs. I swear, if I meet Byakhee again, I'll poke out every one of its eyes.
But what is this? It looks similar but gives off a different feeling.'
Based on the data from his father's research, Alex knew the parasite had already intertwined with Kurosora's soul.
Separating it was impossible. The only solution was for Kurosora herself to overwhelm the parasite.
But her mental age was practically zero, which was why even her father had given up.
The darkness then dissipated, revealing two figures.
Kageyasha stood, gazing down at the unconscious Kurosora before turning his sharp eyes toward Alex and Mingyue.
"What have you done?"
"Did you bring Kurone's blood sample?
Let's talk while I check it. I need to confirm something."
Alex turned around, heading back to the room.
On the way, Mingyue asked telepathically, 'Are they related to the sins you told me about?
The weapons created by outer gods to defeat vampires?'
'Yes. This hatred we felt likely comes from the vampire race as a whole.
Thankfully, our progenitor rate is not that high.'
