Huff ~ ~ ~ Heavy breathing!
A heavyset man with a big head and big ears, his belly swaying, came to the Imperial Port, panting along the way. Although he didn't walk very far, his body, pampered for many years, was exhausted and ready to collapse.
"He said he would be on time, but he's still not here. Can't believe he's making me fly back by myself. This is going to kill me!"
The man stopped in the darkest corner of the port's freight area, where the streetlights had long been broken. He leaned against a lamppost, clutching his trembling fat belly, feeling too uncomfortable to stand any longer.
The man was already wanted for the charge of neglecting his duties as the guardian of the Empire's warning system, "Horus," and infiltrating the Empire as the leader of spies, causing serious harm to society such as the death of Duke Qin's wife. He was the Divine Realm Angel who received the location where the Duke's wife was kidnapped but failed to report it. The Empire was determined to eliminate these Angels who had infiltrated the Empire, and he couldn't escape. This place was where The Divine Realm promised to assist him.
"Clang... Bang..." The sound of a metal can hitting the ground came from a distance, startling the man to the point that he forgot about his own troubles and nervously looked around.
"Damn, still not here!" The man's palms were sweaty. Although he was an Angel, he was useless in everything except having a slightly better brain, and he even found flying tiring.
The silhouette of a young girl kept getting closer, and the man stared at it. After the person approached him, he could clearly see who it was.
"Third Princess! No... You don't have to come in person!" The man was referring to Li Liu, the Third Princess.
"You're the leader!"
"Heh heh, I am the leader, but... I'm just a minor boss. No need to bother capturing me," the man said.
"We're not capturing you, we just want your life!"
The lamppost next to the man plunged into a space black hole. After distorting, the lower half of the lamppost disappeared, and the upper half collapsed without any support, but no one responded to the loud impact.
The man took a deep breath. "Ssss... I didn't expect that the Third Princess would possess this kind of spatial magic. I've really misjudged her before!"
The man raised his Angel wings and faced the "Ice Polar Illusion Eye." He could only resist it with the power of an Angel, or he would immediately fall into an illusion. However, besides illusions, the Illusion Eye could also distort space, which caught him off guard. In the past, the Illusion Eye could only appear when it went out of control. Now, with the guidance of the contract, it could be used freely, but excessive use would make one feel more exhausted.
"You... don't come any closer, how dare a human harm our divine race!"
"Ah~" The man let out a miserable scream, a heart-wrenching sound, because his right Angel wing was broken by the spatial black hole illuminated by the Illusion Eye. His dignity as an Angel, with a broken wing, was in shambles.
"You useless Angel, the divine race has probably already abandoned you!"
"No, that's impossible!"
"What else do you expect? I'm here to avenge Qin Yang's mother on his behalf."
"I... How many nobles in this empire have I harmed...? I have so many enemies, I don't even remember them all."
"It doesn't matter if you remember or not. Really, there's no need to remember. When you're dead, it doesn't matter." Li Liu's eyes glowed purple, and the man's limbs were frozen, unable to move.
The man actually had a protective artifact, but he didn't have time to use it. His body was too heavy, and his reactions were too slow.
"Die!" A spatial black hole appeared, and the fat man instantly lost consciousness.
Suddenly, a hand emerged from the darkness. It was slim and powerful, and an unknown force was exerted from the hand, forcefully turning the spatial hole back.
"Wow, scared me. Thought I was gonna die!" The fat man saw someone saving him and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Othrie Empire's Third Princess, Dragon Spirit Covenant Second Form."
Li Liu furrowed his brows tightly. Just hearing the words "Dragon Spirit Covenant" made him feel uneasy.
In the darkness, it was difficult to see clearly, but the voice was definitely that of a man.
"God Clan?"
"Dragon Clan." Behind the man, there was a woman.
After enhancing his Magic Eye, Li Liu was able to see clearly: it was a man and a woman. They looked strange. "Dragon Clan? How is that possible?"
Li Liu had seen dragons a few times, but they had all been massive in size. He had never seen humanoid dragons like them. Strictly speaking, Qin Yang was still a human.
The woman suddenly produced a spear in her hand and quickly threw it. The sound of breaking wind echoed by Li Liu's side, but it was unclear whether she threw inaccurately or Li Liu dodged quickly, because it missed.
"Get out of here!"
"Trying to suppress us with a covenant?" They clearly saw the covenant in Li Liu's eye, but they remained unaffected.
"We are dragons in human form. Will the methods to deal with those clumsy dragons work on us?" The woman said this, raising her left hand and gathering magic power, giving a light and lethal feeling.
Li Liu placed his hands in front of his chest, fingers tightly clasped together, and gathered mana in his eyes, instantly freezing the air.
"Ah!" The woman dispelled the frozen air and swiftly approached Li Liu. Afterimages of spatial black holes appeared, moving so quickly that Li Liu's eyes couldn't accurately track their positions.
"You're quite pretty, little sister. No wonder the Holy Dragon is fond of you." The woman's finger lightly brushed Li Liu's cheek, as delicate as blowing on a single layer of skin, making her extremely envious.
Then, the woman concentrated her palm on Li Liu's back, causing him pain and making him vomit blood.
"Such a bother!"
Li Liu's eyes once again glowed purple. The spatial black hole expanded to a size of 200 square meters as he made a desperate effort.
Finally, the man made a move, plunging his hand directly into the spatial black hole and forcefully twisting it back.
Li Liu realized something was wrong and quickly fled, jumping onto a pile of cargo at the port. His eyes darted around, creating another spatial black hole, only to hold the man back. The woman appeared by Li Liu's side, her whole body shrouded in that kind of gas. The gas brushed against the tips of her hair, easily breaking them off, and even cut Li Liu's neck.
The woman seemed to leave room for negotiation and didn't intend to kill her.
From a very far distance, lightning speedily passed through the space between Li Liu and the woman, carrying the power of thunder, leaving people too afraid to approach and causing them to dodge.
"Xiao Qiong?"
"Vice President, come with me!" Hanya protected herself with a wall of wind and wielded the 'Shattered Cloud' sword, swiftly leading Li Liu away.
"Sister!" The man spoke up.
The woman stopped in her tracks, standing on top of the cargo pile, her figure extremely captivating under the moonlight.
"Second brother, can we keep this girl? She seems to have good potential."
"Master, if you say so, then it shall be." Another man emerged from beside the fat man, very muscular, and pointed at the fat man with his finger.
"Big brother, what should we do next?"
"Wait. Wait for Reisgolo to return." He exerted force with his finger, breaking the fat man's neck, and extracted the fat man's soul, devouring it in one gulp. The fat man's Angel Wings scattered on the ground.
"You three siblings are really idle," Tony appeared again, this time with a woman by his side.
"Tony, even after being trapped by that despicable Dragon for ten years in the southern sea, you still managed to find a woman?" the Big Guy mocked.
"She enjoys following me, so let her be," Tony didn't even glance at the woman beside him as he sat on the Big Guy.
The five of them didn't seem to have any particular scheme in mind.
