Chapter 159 Storm

Outside the window, the thunderstorm raged once more, the fierce wind and rain battering against the glass, creating a heart-palpitating roar.

The rain poured down as if to submerge the entire villa of the Saint Creux Monastery.

Droplets trickled down the glass, gathering into streams on the window frames before splashing onto the courtyard soil, leaving dark stains.

Amidst the lightning and thunder, no one in the room noticed one thing—

The sound of footsteps outside the door.

"What the..."

Iphatia and Almis stood at the door, dumbfounded as they stared at Hyperion and Talia on the bed inside.

"A, Almis, what's going on here?"

Iphatia turned her head to ask Almis.

But she saw that Almis was equally terrified.

"I don't know."

The ever dignified and composed Ice Witch, Almis, was also trembling at this moment.

Almis didn't even dare to tell Iphatia that the scorpion-tailed she-demon was her daughter, Hyperion, for fear that Iphatia wouldn't be able to handle it.

"Hyperion, why are you hitting me!"

No matter how much Talia cried out, Hyperion seemed not to hear her, no longer the person she once was.

"Hyperion?"

Iphatia was startled.

Wasn't that her daughter's name?

Suddenly, Iphatia seemed to understand everything.

That magic power slightly similar to hers, that age of only a dozen years, and the Duke's family heirloom dagger on the ground.

Iphatia only felt her head spinning.

"Oh, Goddess of Destiny, it's my fault... I shouldn't have abandoned my child... She's become a bad girl..."

Iphatia couldn't accept this reality and collapsed to the ground.

"Ipha! Ipha!"

The Ice Witch quickly knelt down to check on Iphatia's condition.

Fortunately, Iphatia had only fainted due to a combination of suspected post-illness weakness, long-term sleep deprivation, and shock; she was otherwise unharmed.

Inside the room.

For the moment, no one could pay attention to the situation outside the door.

Antanas felt that something was subtly off.

"Sinora, what's going on?"

Antanas nudged Sinora and whispered.

"Something is definitely wrong. In serialized novels, there will be many people who criticize character development before even thinking about the issue, and even disregard viewing etiquette to attack the characters."

Sinora, who often read books at the counter of Cat Boss's restaurant, often encountered this situation, so she made an analogy to Antanas.

She was used to people who liked to treat comedies as serious dramas.

"..."

Antanas didn't dare to subdue Hyperion for the time being, because the twice-berserk Hyperion was very strong, and she and Sinora might not be able to subdue Hyperion in one strike.

On the contrary, if they allowed Hyperion to transfer her hatred and fight them, it was likely to destroy the shielding barrier in the room.

Either Sigrid or the Ice Witch were the only two who could take down the deranged Hyperion in one move.

In fact, Antanas was more puzzled.

For example, why Talia hadn't resisted all along.

Did she not want to resist...

Or was she unable to resist...

Suddenly, another bolt of lightning flashed outside the window, and Antanas's brain seemed to have a flash of inspiration, and the empty eyes had color.

Antanas quietly crawled to the side where Talia's head was.

When Antanas raised her head and met the gaze of Talia, whose head was being held down on the bed, Antanas finally saw clearly.

Talia's face had a black centipede mark, and blue tears welled up in her blue eyes.

"Blue eyes?"

Antanas thought in shock.

Shouldn't Talia have golden eyes?

If there was a female demon in the world who looked exactly like Talia and could perfectly replace her—

"Lan Qi, you're dead!!!"

The gray-haired, blue-eyed female demon was desperately trying to turn her head and cry out while being spanked.

But her head was held down tightly and she couldn't lift it at all.

Lan Qi didn't know where he got some kind of unlucky magic that locked her life state, making it impossible for her to die!

"Holy Cat!"

Cat Boss instantly understood when he heard this curse.

Lan Qi had taken advantage of the lightning to forcefully summon the Poet of Great Love.

And Talia had disappeared into thin air.

He probably used the traditional ancient method \[Forbidden Curse\] and a modified version of the nuclear fusion wolf technique \[Summon Recall] to recall Talia to the soul space where she was used to being.

"..."

Lan Qi was still winking at Sigrid.

At this time, he could only rely on Sigrid to control the runaway Hyperion.

Sigrid nodded, and silently walked towards Hyperion.

She had been stunned at first and didn't understand what Lan Qi meant.

Or rather, she didn't expect Lan Qi to be so beastly, using the Poet of Great Love as a satirical unit.

"Phew..."

Lan Qi gradually breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Sigrid successfully sneak behind Hyperion.

He had been trying his best.

He had desperately prepared for it when he realized that Hyperion's state was not right.

Fortunately, the Poet of Great Love became a substitute for Talia who would not be destroyed in battle at first order.

Attracting Hyperion's hatred.

Allowing Hyperion to focus on only hitting the Poet of Great Love.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy to subdue the Melogus-ified Hyperion.

This ultimate skill was originally intended to be used by the Poet of Great Love to save Talia's life, commonly known as castling, but he didn't expect to use it now.

"Lan Qi, I f\*ck your \*ss!"

The Poet of Great Love cried out.

She had been grabbed from behind again, and after being grabbed, her head was pressed on the bed, and no one noticed the change in the color of her pupils.

She had never suffered such grievances in her life.

"Lan Qi, thank you for saving me..."

Talia was also trembling in Lan Qi's soul space.

If it weren't for Lan Qi protecting her, she would be in the hands of the crazy Hyperion now.

Although her goodwill towards Lan Qi increased once again at this time, which made Talia feel extremely guilty and guilty, she really felt that she couldn't do without this man.

He was really too reliable.

"..."

Antanas's eyes twitched.

More than half a year ago, since she understood the relationship between Lan Qi and Lan Fu, she felt that what Lan Qi did to Lan Fu in the Helrom underground prison was too much.

Lan Fu finally reconciled with him after retaliating against Lan Qi once.

Now Lan Qi did it again.

Although Lan Qi was wholeheartedly considering Talia, even at the cost of Lan Fu's life, which made Antanas a little addicted to it.

But Antanas didn't dare to think about what Lan Fu would do next time.

The Ice Witch at the door turned from worry to emotionlessness after seeing that the gray-haired female demon was not Talia.

It turned out to be that annoying gray-haired summon.

She had been very upset with the Poet of Great Love when she was in the North Continent.

The Ice Witch has not forgotten that the Poet of Great Love once told her to her face that she was a cutting board.

After thinking about it, the Ice Witch decided not to hold grudges.

No matter what, this summon now looked too pitiful, she couldn't win if she fought, she couldn't run away, and she couldn't die if she wanted to.

"Sigrid."

The Ice Witch raised her eyes to signal Sigrid to cooperate and silently mouthed.

Sigrid immediately sent her a friendly message.

Even if they didn't understand why they met each other in the South Continent, they were already friends who gave each other gifts in the North Continent, and they would not be hostile to each other because of the forces they belonged to. Even the Samsara Jade that Sigrid sought marriage was given to her by the Ice Witch around the Church of the Goddess of Destiny.

Sigrid quietly came behind Hyperion and clamped Hyperion's slender shoulders. At this moment, Almis also suddenly attacked with the howling of ice and snow, freezing half of Hyperion's body.

"You! You!"

Hyperion's eyes had already turned black, and like Melogus, only the intent to kill remained in her pupils. The attack target immediately turned to them.

Compared to Sigrid and Almis, Hyperion was still too weak.

What's more, she now only had strength, but not much combat rationality.

The Ice Witch's fair fingertips, accompanied by invisible magic fluctuations, pressed on Hyperion's brow.

\[Purifying Divine Curse] spread out invisible ripples, causing Hyperion's fierce eyes and runaway aura to stop and slowly weaken.

She gradually became dazed, her pupils began to dissipate, and the toxins in her body were also dissipating. She fell into Almis's arms and was held by her.

After a long time.

The rain was still swaying.

"Thank you, it's a good thing you were here today."

Lan Qi felt that the indoor light had stabilized.

The house may have been struck by lightning just now, and the power supply of the magic energy circuit was sometimes strong and sometimes weak.

When he discovered that there was something wrong with Hyperion, he had already prepared a back-up plan.

It's just that he didn't expect Hyperion to be so crazy.

Lan Qi released the Poet of Great Love's summons and the Black Sun Tyrant Eternal Punishment Edict that he had used on the Poet of Great Love.

This should have been a very perfect \[Ninjutsu: Substitution Technique] in actual combat, which could catch the enemy by surprise, but he didn't expect it to be used in such a farce.

Talia, who was released, looked at Lan Qi beside her with lingering fear, hesitant to speak.

"Lan Qi, why don't you stop using this substitution technique in the future..."

Talia felt that this was a bit detrimental to Yin virtue.

She didn't know what kind of evil Lan Fu had committed to have a summoner like Lan Qi.

"Lan Fu doesn't seem to have any objections."

Lan Qi had just heard Lan Fu scolding him.

But Lan Fu didn't say no.

"..."

Talia didn't know what to say.

She could only silently remember that she owed Lan Qi a special favor, and she would repay him in the future.

Iphatia at the door was still continuously offline and was placed flat on the carpet.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Why don't you tell us what's going on on your side first?"

Assuming that emotional entanglements are not taken into account, today's events are easy to explain.

When everyone was about to review the overly chaotic situation tonight.

"Hmm..."

Hyperion's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she seemed to regain consciousness from her coma.

Everyone looked warily at Hyperion in the Ice Witch's arms.

"What, what did I just do?"

Hyperion only felt a sharp pain in her brain and woke up covering her forehead.

She remembered that after seeing Lan Qi, Talia, and Sigrid, her thoughts gradually turned white, and then a flash of lightning flashed, and she completely lost consciousness.

So this is what it feels like to get drunk.

She, who had only felt slightly drunk after drinking several bottles of Snowfield Spirits in the Helrom underground prison, felt scared of alcohol for the first time.

Seeing Hyperion return to normal, everyone's hanging hearts were temporarily put down.

"You can't use the power of the Profane Lord Melogus casually anymore."

Sinora ran over, supported Hyperion, and said to Hyperion with lingering fear.

If Hyperion's emotions were stable, it would be fine, but if she went berserk again, although she would reach a physical level close to the eighth order, it would be at the cost of completely losing herself and turning into a Melogus version of Hyperion.

"Did I lose control?"

Hyperion asked in panic.

She did feel that before losing consciousness, her emotions fluctuated violently. Seeing Lan Qi, Talia, and Sigrid seemingly lying on the same bed, she couldn't calm down at all.

But now she thought about it seriously, and it felt quite reasonable. Even Cat Boss was in the room, so it was more like Talia and Sigrid had temporarily sneaked into his room to protect Lan Qi.

"Uh, it's okay, it didn't cause any damage."

Antanas motioned Hyperion to look at the master bedroom, and even the furniture was basically intact, and no one was injured.

"That's good, that's great."

Hyperion breathed a sigh of relief, only feeling a sharp pain all over her body, and wanted to fall asleep again.

It was night now.

In addition, the burden of \[Melogus's Profane Kingship] on the body was too great.

After overusing it, she estimated that she would have to rest for several days.

"Hyperion, I'm sorry."

Talia knelt on the bed and murmured to Hyperion with her head lowered.

"What's there to be sorry about?"

Hyperion raised her heavy eyes and asked Talia softly.

The only thing she knew was that she was very happy to see Talia again in the Creux Empire.

It was great that she didn't hurt Talia after going berserk.

"You should rest first, we'll chat slowly tomorrow."

Talia felt her eyes sore.

Hyperion was as much of an angel as ever, which made Talia feel more and more sorry for Hyperion.

"Good night... Tata..."

Hyperion slowly closed her eyes, with a voice hanging from the corner of her mouth, and was carried up by Antanas.

"Let's all stay on the first floor tonight, there are still many guest rooms."

Sigrid found herself wandering around in Lan Qi's room in her pajamas and being watched by so many people she knew, which was quite embarrassing, so she played the demeanor of the head of the family and signaled the other demons to leave together.

She turned her head and winked at Talia.

The two wanted to leave together.

"I'll help you clean up the room."

Talia climbed up from the bed and followed Sigrid and his party out of the bedroom.

And brought Lan Qi to the door before leaving.

The door slowly closed, leaving only Talia's golden eyes filled with complex colors of gratitude, apology, and emotion, until each other and Lan Qi disappeared from each other's eyes.

The sound of thunderstorms outside the window was the only thing left in the room again.

In the deepest winter, an indescribable radiance appeared.

What kind of words, what kind of gestures, were not enough to express the storm that had just swept through everyone's hearts.

"Meow..."

Cat Boss breathed a sigh of relief.

The Shura field came too fast and went too fast, everything was like a tornado.

This can also be a happy ending for the whole family.

After thinking about it carefully, there was nothing wrong with it.

Or rather, if Melogus's power had not eroded Hyperion, there would not have been a Shura field between Hyperion and Talia. They had already understood each other in the Southern Vantina Territory.

Cat Boss sat on the sofa, looking at Lan Qi who was shaking his head and exhaling.

Grand Teacher Lan was still calculating without any omissions.

It looked like it had collapsed, but in reality, there was still room for it.

Everyone solved the problem perfectly without making any sacrifices.

It seemed that from then on, Lan Qi's long-standing Shura field crisis would also come to a complete end.

But why did it feel that the death star above Lan Qi's head was turning blood red.
