“If you’re afraid, miss, just say it, there’s nothing shameful about being afraid of me,” Ciel said, provoking her again because he really wanted her to act.
Someone who was proud obviously could not withstand constant provocation. Slowly, annoyance began to appear on the Dark Elf’s face.
“You must just want to trick me, right?” she asked while pointing her sword at Ciel.
In response, Ciel shrugged his shoulders.
“If you’re curious whether I’m bluffing or not, you can come forward to find out, don’t hesitate,” he replied.
“Hmph!” Thalia snorted coldly, and then she actually moved, lunging towards Ciel in a leaping manner while slashing her sword at Ciel’s head.
The sword radiated the power of destruction, shattering everything around it.
Although Ciel was now very strong, he had to admit that this Dark Elf was really dangerous. She could definitely behead an ordinary Ninth Stage Hegemon with a single move.
Unfortunately, Ciel only smiled. His eyes looked into hers.
For a moment, his eyes emitted a mysterious light, which seemed to instantly enter Thalia’s eyes.
At the moment it happened, the woman’s movements suddenly stopped. Her body seemed to be frozen in mid-air.
“You?” She was still able to open her mouth, so she stared at Ciel in shock.
Slowly, Ciel’s aura radiated, an aura so hot that Thalia felt as if she was sent to a different place with flames everywhere.
Whoosh!
Transparent flames, purple flames like the moon, and red flames like the sun surged from Ciel’s body.
They merged, circling each other before forming an enormous fist.
It was a fist that seemed to be able to blow up a mountain.
And it wasn’t a technique, it was purely the result of the unification of the three flames that Ciel had shaped the way he wanted.
The fist moved quickly towards Thalia.
Although the technique to stop another person’s movement seemed simple in practice, in reality it consumed a lot of Ciel’s Spiritual Energy. He could not linger while using that technique.
BANG!
The fist slammed into Thalia’s body, producing a loud bang so that everyone under the large tree could hear it.
They spontaneously looked over there, but couldn’t see anything because it was blocked by the tree itself. If they wanted to see, they would have to fly higher than the tree, and the Elves wouldn’t do that because it was considered an act of disrespect to the Elf Queen.
The fist didn’t just hit Thalia’s body. The three flames enveloped her body, trying to burn her.
Thalia created an energy shield to protect her body, but it quickly melted from the heat of the three flames.
At this point, Thalia finally realized how terrible an enemy she was fighting. She was not confident even if their cultivations were equal, not to mention now where their cultivations were one stage apart.
Of course, the biggest problem for Thalia now was that she was pushed off the tree.
She was practically going to fall, the people below could even already see her being burned by the flames.
However, remembering that she was about to become a slave, Thalia ground her teeth.
At this time, she found that her body could already move, so she tried to fly up the tree again.
Of course, Ciel wouldn’t let her.
He just smiled while waving his hand to show the difference in their strength.
After he waved his hand, a sea of fire appeared above Thalia, pushing her down.
“Ahhhh…” The woman finally couldn’t do anything else.
She was on fire and the heat made her unable to stifle a scream because it was indeed very painful, enough to make an ordinary Hegemon go crazy.
BANG!
The woman quickly landed on the ground.
When the Demigods realized how dangerous the fire was, they hurriedly extinguished it while sending their life energy into Thalia’s body.
Only, they couldn’t help but be surprised because even with the power of Demigods, they still needed time to put out the fire.
Fortunately, Thalia was fine. She was still able to sit up.
It was an advantage that she was surrounded by Elves who were experts in healing wounds.
As she sat up, Thalia stared at the direction with her eyes still in shock.
At this moment, Ciel’s figure appeared at the very side of the tree so that he could be seen from below.
People were also staring at him. Those who knew the scheme were surprised at the result while those who didn’t were confused.
They wondered why Ciel attacked Thalia when Thalia had come to greet him earlier.
What puzzles them the most is how Ciel defeated Thalia.
They thought he was just a Spiritual King, the distance between him and Thalia was too great.
And right now, Ciel’s aura had become so faint that his cultivation was no longer predictable.
“Young Miss, what’s going on?” one of the Demigods asked Thalia.
The latter pressed her lips together at the question. Her fists were clenched tremblingly, and she looked like she could not open her mouth.
In the end, she said, “I lose!”
After saying that, her head suddenly became dizzy and she fell unconscious.
This wasn’t because she was suffering from something, her body was fine, but her mentality was hit hard.
What she said and the fact that she fainted caused a commotion.
The Elven Demigods once again sent life energy into her body.
Unfortunately, they found that she was completely fine.
This meant that there was no special way that could wake her up unless she herself woke up after she calmed down.
Meanwhile, Ciel stared back as someone suddenly appeared behind him, the Elf Queen.
Seeing her, Ciel couldn’t help but be surprised.
“Queen, don’t tell me you’re not going?” asked Ciel in surprise.
“I’m just letting them do this. That way, they will no longer be able to make excuses for rejecting you because they lost a battle of their own making,” replied the Elf Queen.
Hearing her words, Ciel rolled his eyes.
He didn’t have a clear opinion on this.
That the Queen was planning something behind his back was something that was not good in his eyes, but this thing did help him.
“We’ll go now,” the Queen added as she opened the portal beside her and continued, “come in here, you can’t be outside for a while.”
The Eternal Night World was beside the Seven Realms. To go there was actually no different from traveling between Realms, it was just more difficult because the areas to pass through were much more dangerous.
It was territory that only Demigods could pass through. The Hegemons had to rely on treasures if they wanted to pass through, unlike the path between Realms that the Hegemons could pass through.
Ciel was not so keen on that journey where he could not do anything with his power, so he entered the portal without hesitation while telling Pegasus to follow him.
Behind the portal turned out to be a vast world, full of rare flowers, each of which could make the Hegemons go to war.
Ciel was a little surprised by the sight, thinking that the Elf Queen was indeed a peak existence. Her Space Artifact was truly on a different level.
“By the way, how did you stop Thalia’s movements?” Suddenly the Elf Queen’s voice echoed there, coming from nowhere.
The question made Ciel laugh.
“Do you want an answer, Queen?” asked Ciel in response.
“If you answer, that’s fine. I will not insist,” the Elf Queen replied in a tone that sounded like she was telling Ciel that she would not fulfill his strange request just for the answer.
“If you don’t get an answer, you might be haunted by curiosity. You know, Queen, curiosity can lead to strong love,” Ciel said, trying to provoke her.
His words might have bothered her because a response from her did not come, but instead there was some sort of faint aura that appeared in that space, making it impossible for his voice to come out.
Ciel shook his head, suddenly at a loss as to what he would do in that space while waiting for the Elven Queen to arrive in the Eternal Night World.
Finding no ideas, he finally chose to lie down and close his eyes.
‘Maybe sleeping again for today isn’t so bad,’ he thought. 𝑂𝑣𝗅𝐞xt.𝗇𝓔t
He was so completely asleep that the Elf Queen who occasionally watched him almost flinched.
This made her feel that she was a servant escorting her master to travel.
When thinking that she was a servant, the Elf Queen suddenly felt that being a Ciel woman was really a good thing.
‘I should stop thinking about nonsense,’ she thought as she realized her mind was distracted because of such a stupid thing.
She shook her head a few times to calm her mind.
As she went farther and farther away, she began to act cautiously, fly slowly, and suppress her aura to the lowest point.
