The Tyrant’s Fury and a Desperate Escape

Su Han channeled the energy of her Destruction Core, gathering its magic into her right hand. Instantly, her entire right hand erupted in dark golden flames, burning fiercely and extending all the way up her arm. Whenever her blazing arm touched one of the Evil Eye Tyrant’s tentacles, the appendage would be scorched by the accompanying burn status.

Observing the tentacles, one could see them shriveling continuously under the intense heat of the flames. Consequently, the Evil Eye Tyrant raged.

Unexpectedly, the Evil Eye Tyrant, using its mental will, began to chant a magic spell. The monotonous, bitter, and indescribable incantation caused its body to swell more than threefold. Its hundreds of tentacles evolved into over a dozen colossal, towering appendages.

Its monstrous eyeballs seemed to weep even more blood, as crimson beams of destructive light shot out relentlessly. Dozens of these beams fired in rapid succession in various directions, devastating most of the palace.

The Evil Eye Tyrant’s massive eye emitted billowing white smoke, rising into the air.

Su Han pushed her Destruction Core to its absolute limit, barely managing to evade the attack. Nevertheless, she still took an unlucky hit, sustaining a minor injury.

“That truly hurt!”

Su Han’s dark golden scales on her chest were charred black, some areas even appearing bruised and bloody.

Wielding her sharp claws like daggers, Su Han unleashed the Legendary Sword Art, executing the Ten Thousand Dances Slash to sever more than a dozen tentacles. Following this, she maximized the power of the Destruction Core in her chest, concentrating magic into her palm.

With a ferocious roar, she unleashed a blazing Dragon’s Breath, obliterating the Evil Eye Tyrant into mere ash.

“Hoo…” Su Han let out a long sigh, leaning against a stone pillar within the hall to momentarily rest.

Three days later, when the Seal Gate reopened, a torrent of demonic energy surged forth.

“Hmm? Why are these mongrels coming out?” Ye Yuan stroked his chin, patting the mount beside him. “Little Wang, clean up the rabble.”

The white tiger, with its pristine wings, affectionately nudged Ye Yuan’s hand. It then soared into the sky, preparing to strike at the demonic creatures escaping the palace.

“Ye Yuan? Wait, it’s me, Izaloth!”

A handsome devil man with purple hair and purple eyes, wreathed in solidified black mist, pursued Su Han.

By this point, Su Han had completely depleted her magic. Transformed into her loli dragon-girl form, she was desperately fleeing. Upon seeing Ye Yuan, she exclaimed, “Quickly, drive him away! I can’t take this anymore!”

“Ah, you little troublemaker!” Ye Yuan shook his head. The moment Su Han emerged, just as the purple-haired, purple-eyed devil man was about to burst through, Ye Yuan acted, slamming the palace doors shut and resealing the barrier. The devil man, trapped inside, crashed directly into the magical barrier.

“Ye Yuan, you push me again and again! I’ll remember this!” the purple-haired, purple-eyed devil man, Ziyao, fumed with indignation.

“Do you even know who he is? To provoke someone like him!” Ye Yuan sighed, remarking.

‘Who is he? Who else could he be? The villain who’s been chasing this young lady—er, this young master—for three days and three nights!’ Su Han grumbled silently in her mind.

The moment the purple-haired, purple-eyed devil man saw Su Han, he had boasted of taking her as his ‘fortress wife’. Su Han, of course, resisted with all her might. Later, realizing she couldn’t defeat him, Su Han simply ran and ran. This chase continued for three full days, exhausting all of Su Han’s magic and forcing her into her child-like form. If not for the potions in her storage bag sustaining her recovery, Su Han would likely have been abducted and made a fortress wife long ago!

“Terrifying! Absolutely terrifying!” Su Han’s scalp tingled just thinking about it, a lingering fear in her heart. ‘Being a fortress wife? Absolutely not! I’d rather die!’

“The one who was just chasing you is the most powerful existence in Demon City. Fortunately, I fought him three years ago and gravely wounded him. He probably hasn’t fully recovered, otherwise, you would have been dead for sure!” Ye Yuan sighed again. “I truly don’t know how you managed to provoke him…”

“I’d rather die than be caught by him! Getting caught isn’t just about dying; it’s about becoming his fortress wife and bearing his children!” Su Han retorted. “And besides, he was the one who took an interest in me first, not the other way around!”

‘Is it my fault for being beautiful? Do you think I wanted this?!’ Su Han roared uncontrollably within her mind.

Indeed, these past three days had been a nightmare for Su Han. She had no moment of rest, constantly on the run, fleeing for three days and three nights straight before finally emerging.

Although the sky of the Undead World was perpetually gray, Su Han was overjoyed at this moment, exclaiming, “I’m finally out!”

Daily, she had been enveloped by the shadow of death, her nerves perpetually taut, always on the verge of snapping. It had been a purgatorial ordeal.

The trial of life and death was finally over! While the cost was immense, the gains were also considerable.

“Do you intend to remain in Undead City?” Ye Yuan inquired.

“No, I wish to return to Aertar Continent…” Su Han replied calmly.

“Return? Heh, you’re dreaming. No one who comes here has ever been known to go back. I’m sorry, I can’t help you with that!” Ye Yuan chuckled wryly.

“Then…” Su Han was about to say that if he couldn’t help her, she had even more reason to leave. However, realizing Ye Yuan had helped her unconditionally, she wondered if he might have ulterior motives. Yet, given his strength, he likely wouldn’t bother with anything petty, so she no longer hesitated.

Instead, she boldly asked, “May I ask what Senior’s intentions are in helping me?”

“Three drops of your Destruction Dragon Blood!” Ye Yuan replied directly, no longer beating around the bush.

“Alright!” Su Han didn’t ask why. She simply condensed three drops of her essence blood and then departed.

Thus, Su Han left Undead City, heading towards the deepest reaches of the Undead Continent. However, before that, to recover her adult form, she shook hands with Ye Yuan in farewell—and to restore her magic through contact.
