Lyon creased his eyebrows, "Looks like someone survived the gorgeous attack, however, I'm sure he or she didn't get out of there unscathed."

He ended his words with a brief laugh before he squinted his eyes, "Heh?"

He turned around only to see that the floating eye was not where he expected it to be. It vanished before he could even see it vanishing. 

"Hmm," he contemplated as he pinched his chin with his finger while slightly looking at the ground.

"Is it because of me? Did my sudden admittance of seducing her got her shook and accidentally cut the mana connection between the magic brand and her eye?"

He shook his head, "No, no, that cannot be it. My seducing technique was unparalleled. I'm sure she had taken interest in me by now, hahaha."

Ayumu had black lines over her head seeing Lyon's act that looks like a child, though he was still under twenty and technically a teenager, barely a young adult. 

Lyon suddenly turned around before he approached the two of them. Ayumu's eyes opened wider as he got closer however, his target was not the pink-haired one.

Lyon crouched down against the silver-haired woman before he muttered, "You know, I'm getting really suspicious about you."

The words were laid down but the beautiful lady that even the noble girl beside her couldn't compare still had her eyes shut. 

"Are you really sleeping? Sylviana? Queen of Nostria?"

"Queen?"

"Hm?" Lyon darted his glance from the sleeping beauty to the tomboy one, "Oh right, she right here, is actually a queen. Though, I've seen a part of her personality that made her not suited to be a queen and.. hehehe a pair of it to be part of it."

"Pervert."

"Hahahaha!"

Ayumu squinted her eyes against the young man, "You already have a woman remember?"

The image of the jaded hair lady that beat her without wasting a single breath came into mind. Those menacing and glaring silver pupils with jade irises still brought about a chill in her spine. If she wanted to, she probably inside a grave with some of her limbs sewed right now. She knew very well that she could kill Lyon.

"You mean Lumina?"

Ayumu nodded.

"Well, she is not the only woman I have you know. The official ones are, well, there is Luna there and also, Selena, Maria, and then Cecile."

"Wha—"

She couldn't believe how Lyon casually mentioned those names in front of her. (Isn't this gossip?! Are you intentionally ruining your marriage?!) thought Ayumu who gulped her saliva. (This young man is playing with fire NO! LAVA!).

"W-Where are they right now?"

Despite so, even Ayumu couldn't help but want to dig deeper for the gossip. It was just human nature, especially for a young aspiring woman to be.

"Hmm... Luna probably waiting for me somewhere in Blue Continent, errr, I mean World of Blue? Or was it Blue World? Either way, it's the one where we came from. As for Selena, I believe it was called Myriad Devils? I don't know where the hell is that. Maria though, I still do not know where she is, to be honest. As for Cecile...heh."

Lyon smiled, "I have a feeling that I will meet her soon, that wife of mine. After all, she is supposed to come and get me when I arrived in the Blue Continent."

(So... he had many wives, after all, does Lumina even know this? Heck, do they know each other?!)

The questions occupied her thoughts so much that she even forgot how she was mad at Lyon for killing her only hope. This was Lyon's unconscious passive skill, combined with his killer charisma and verbal skills, he could divert conversation at his will though sometimes it didn't end well even for him and his surroundings.

"Wait a minute, you just said Cecile... right?"

Lyon nodded, "Selena said to me that she is actually a queen, or was it an empress? I forgot."

Ayumu's mouth slowly opened with a crack, "No..." she shook her head.

"No no no no, not possible."

She knew one name that fit the criteria. She knew one name that had the position of a ruler. Her head keeps shaking before she suddenly glared at Lyon before turning her glance away. She did this back and forth before Lyon suddenly grab a hold of her shoulders, "Hey, are you having a seizure?"

She was forced to see him in the eye. An image of a powerful woman appeared in her mind instead. The woman was probably the idol for many female cultivators. The strongest woman with might that could render gods to take a knee. Not only her beauty could make the most beautiful flower pale and the moon hid between the darkness, her monstrous talent, and her rawness were something that would brand her as a role model for a young woman.

(This young man... with her?! No! NO! NO WAY!) her heart begged the gods that were willing to listen but gave no answers.

"Ayumu?"

Lyon asked with slightly furrowed eyebrows. Her eyes were quite dilated and he turned disquieted for a while before the latter murmured. 

"Huh?"

"Don't 'huh' me, are you okay?"

Lyon suddenly put the back of his hand toward her forehead without any shame. Ayumu's eyes immediately opened wide as she slightly lost focus. Her mind shot toward the blackness of space and emptied its round. Her cheeks kicked in its instinct as the receptors perceived a sudden heat and slightly turned it a red hue. The contrast complexion only made her cuter than she originally was, especially with the cold atmosphere and the black fur that she coiled around her neck. 

The sudden development left her speechless but Lyon's eyes were sharp. There was not any hint that she could pick up that the latter was just messing with her. 

"Ayumu, it doesn't seem like there is anything inside it."

"...."

Bang!

Lyon immediately rolled around the icy ground like a child before he stopped and wailed in pain.

"Ah... SSSS... AAAHH..." He carefully rubbed her jaw that that was swelling. His bruises from the earlier assault that was combined with tears were still in the recovery phase. 

Ayumu slightly pouted before she buried her face under the fluffy black tail.

Meanwhile, Madoku's older sister had diverted her attention toward the battlefield, or rather, was the battlefield. The forest had turned into winter without her lifting a finger.

"Madoku looks like you've failed to take Kaiju down, though, I already expect this kind of result," she muttered to herself.

"Kaiju is not easy to take down but it's not possible, however, a fight between a cultivator that focuses on technique against a cultivator that focuses on magic, usually ended up with the former winning. However, with the terrain and distance to your advantage, you might be able to come up with something, after all, you are my dear sister."

She puckered up a smile with her purple lips.

While the older sister was clearly out of the battle, the woman in question was absorbing mana quietly and steadily. With how her opponent was the man called Heaven's Son, she had to use every inch of her ability to even think of overcoming him. 

(I didn't blow up the chance).

*Swoosh

Madoku noticed the air had changed.

"He is near."

"En... what do we do?"

"Don't worry, we cannot die in this plane."

"I hate pain..."

"So do I..."

Madoku's eyes turned sharp as she caught a red-haired young man with bruises adorning his body looking straight back at her. (That didn't take long... but it's enough) thought the High Witch.

"YOU!"

Kaiju shouted with his glaring eyes toward the woman that was casually sitting on top of a builder a distance away. 

Madoku smiled, "Looks like you survived."

"Gah!"

Kaiju was irritated when he saw her condescending smile. He leaped forward without thinking further before the latter suddenly write a spell.

"Divine Magic: Ice Walls!"

Yellow magic brands formed adjacently toward Madoku before a crystal wall made entirely out of ice emerged in quick succession. 

"If you think this could stop me, then you might as well quit!" shouted Kaiju before he let his body slammed against the wall and broke through them. 

*Boom!

The last wall was destroyed but Kaiju's eyes opened wide as he saw Madoku smirked.

"Who said I was going to stop you..." She smiled, "I was leading you..."

The chilling voice of her tone in that last words sent Kaiju's heartbeat to skip. 

*Zing!

A magic brand lit up directly right in front of him.

"Divine Magic: Giant Ice Spike Shot!"

The spell lit up before a giant sharp spike made of ice brutally sprouted out from the magic brand and thrust its way toward Kaiju's body. 

"Shit!"

Kaiju was quick enough to grab the tip of the spike but the volume and force coming out of it slightly pushed him backward before Madoku suddenly snapped her finger. The magic brand immediately propelled the giant spike forward like a gun shooting a bullet.

*Phew 

Madoku let out a sigh of relief as she saw the giant ice spike destroying trees after trees using Kaiju's back.
