Chapter 729 - Encounter
Chapter 729: Encounter
At this moment, Roman felt a strange change in the surrounding scenes as they had moved from the plaza to a secluded alley. Based on Roman’s familiarity with the Dark Moon, he knew that this was No.7 Street in the southern block- She did not activate territory or illusion, but a real space transfer!
There was still no special breath in this mysterious Christina as if she was a powerless ordinary person, but Roman instinctively sensed a huge oppression. He had now reached the Demon Overlord level, and his spirit sensing power had taken a big leap, so he could even more keenly sense the terror of this woman.
This kind of oppression is above Paglio or even Dodo; perhaps only Zola is on par with her.
Such a powerful enemy can no longer be matched, and escape is the best way. However, Roman couldn’t do it because of Delia. Perhaps he could escape with the [Flash] talent, but with Delia’s current strength, she definitely could not escape, so his first reaction was to fight in order to buy time for Delia to escape.
In the blink of an eye, the mysterious woman’s body was instantly wrapped in countless blue light like a continuous light net. The speed of the light net was extremely fast. The whistling sound only came out after the net was completed.
Roman who had been tempered in the abyss was no longer what he used to be. This blow was his strongest killer move, [No Return], which had the meaning of not returning before killing the enemy. The terrifying point of this move lay in the countless subsequent moves hidden within it. If the opponent did not move, he would be shattered by the blade net. If the opponent moved, those subsequent moves would trigger a chain of reaction that could burst with more terrifying power. Even he himself couldn’t stop it.
In the abyss ‘game’, an early stage of the Demon Overlord’s ‘Whip Girl’ once turned into hundreds of fragments and annihilated under [No Return].
Suddenly, the blue light net suddenly dimmed and extinguished in a gloved hand. Roman’s figure appeared and took a few steps back. His hand holding the blade was trembling constantly as blood gradually seeped from the handle of the blade.
Roman ignored the sharp pain in his hand and stared at her warily. The woman dispelled all of his subsequent moves with just a wave of her hand. The strong sword qi was reflected back and shattered his hand. Obviously, the other party did not go all out.
The strength gap is too big just as I expected.
Although Roman didn’t remind her beforehand, Delia had already understood from his eye contact. She planned to take the opportunity to leave. Now that Roman was defeated quickly, she gave up the idea: Since I can’t escape, let’s face it together.
But I didn’t expect that the royal noblewoman of the Dark Shadow Empire and the inheritor of the legendary empress actually has such terrifying strength.
“I didn’t mean harm, Delia.” Christina was empathetic as she looked at the performance of the 2 including the psychological changes, omitting the title ‘madam’. “By the way, I remember you are friends with Athena, the daughter of the Fallen Angel Empire’s first general, George, and the current lord of the Dark Moon as well as the third general of the empire. Back then, you even… it turns out that you have been hiding in the Dark Moon, but please rest assured that I will not disclose your news to anyone.”
“So what if you disclose it?” Roman said coldly. His purpose of improving his strength was not only to protect Delia, but also to get rid of Broc, the beast himself. According to Aunt Isabella’s intel, Broc was now in danger, and he couldn’t get out of the Jergal Fortress. In addition, the Dark Moon had at least 3 powerful dragons sitting in town. Even if he knew that Delia was here, he dared not come.
As soon as Roman spoke, he suddenly remembered that the 2 of them were not Christina’s opponents at all, and his life was still in the hands of her, so he couldn’t help but keep quiet.
“Delia, since you and Lord Athena are friends, then it would be better. I want to meet the lover of madam lord, the famous human Financial Officer Chen Rui. Can you introduce me to him?”
“Ms. Christina.” Delia took a deep breath and recovered her calm, “If I guessed correctly, you came by the order of Catherine the Great. I’m afraid your efforts will be wasted. As far as I know, it is impossible for Chen Rui to leave the Dark Moon. If this is the case, would you use other means? For example… since you cannot use him, then he cannot be used by others as well?”
“You’re overthinking. I just want to ask him some questions.” Christina glanced at Delia, “Delia, I haven’t been shopping for a long time, can you be my guide? As for this sir… I live in the Red Fruit Hotel VIP Room No. 1. Can you come to pick up Delia after we finish shopping? However, I hope that when I come back, it will not be a few dragons who will entertain me.”
Roman frowned, “Is this a threat?”
“You can understand it as a lady’s request.” Christina smiled behind her veil, “Let’s go, Delia.”
Delia thought for a while and walked to Christina’s side. Roman snorted. With a stomp of his foot, he disappeared in place.
“Quite fast, the [Flash] talent is indeed remarkable.” Christina lamented, “I’m surprised that you, as the Leviathan Royal Family, actually found the Belphegor Royal Family as a partner. However, judging from some details, the relationship between the both of you is very deep, and even willing to sacrifice for each other which is really enviable.”
“Does the Dark Shadow Empire noblewoman envy these things too?” Delia shook her head, and she suddenly smiled, “I know Miss is very intelligent, but you won’t get more information from me. Since it’s shopping, we will stroll around happily.”
“Love really changes a person. This smile does not belong to the Madam Black Widow whom I know.” Christina took a deep look at Delia, “Actually you have already told me a lot such as… the deep habit of trusting your companions. I’m surprised that this trust is actually present when you are talking about that human.”
Delia’s gaze was stagnant, then she shook her head, “No doubt you are still the legendary noblewoman. Your wisdom and observation alone are daunting. However, sometimes women better be foolish, especially in front of the man, otherwise you will be very tired.”
“Perhaps you are right, Delia.” Christina smiled, “I haven’t been shopping for a long time, I’m not good at this at all. I think you will have many opportunities to fight back later.”
The 2 women held hands and walked down the street intimately. Delia seemed to have forgotten her identity as a ‘hostage’ as she introduced various shops and facilities to Christina, and they even went shopping for clothes together. Christina did not look like she often went shopping. She asked various questions curiously, and she was constantly admiring the prosperity of the Dark Moon.
“It’s unbelievable that this city was still a place of dilapidation and depression a few years ago, and now it has become the most prosperous place in the Demon Realm. It is not inferior in any respect even compared to the 3 capitals.” Christina sighed, “That human is really exceptional. I can guess that he is behind the various changes of the Fallen Angel Empire. The term ‘making mundane magical’ can no longer describe his ability.”
“Of course.” Delia felt proud because Chen Rui was a true friend of hers and Roman; a lifelong friend.
“I understand your trust and protection for your friend, but you are so afraid of me dealing with him?” Christina sighed, “As far as I know, you have left 13 types of secret marks on our way here. 9 of which I don’t even understand. They should be used in the special intel departments. If my guess is right, there must be a place for you in the Dark Moon’s ‘Dark Demon’. But your worry is really unnecessary. If I really want to do anything, even the dragons of the Dark Moon may not be able to stop me.”
Delia did not explain and smiled without saying a word, but she was secretly wary in her heart. This lady is indeed terrifying. I don’t know if the leader can handle it, but no matter how smart Christina is, she won’t foresee that there are actually 6 dragons in the Dark Moon, and 1 more Dodo. As long as they find this place based on these secret marks, they can easily take this lady down.
“Sorry, Delia, it seems that I have misunderstood.” Christina suddenly apologized, and Delia was taken aback for a moment as she saw 2 familiar figures appearing in front of her – Chen Rui and Isabella.
The thing was, Roman happened to run into Chen Rui and Isabella who were returning from the passage of the Rainbow Valley when he was returning to the mansion to ask Paglio and the others to help deal with Christina.
Hearing the name ‘Christina’, Chen Rui couldn’t help but feel shocked. He knew the true identity of this lady. If he was ignorant at the Silent Night Wetland, then in Crystal Valley, Christina’s true identity had already been revealed. However, he did not expect that he just tried his luck playing ‘Solo Dance under the Moonlight’ at the concert, and this Her Majesty Empress launched an unexpected counterattack. She is actually using Christina’s identity to visit the Dark Moon in person and search by Chen Rui’s name. Wait, it should be Richard that she’s looking for. Is it exposed already? When…
Chen Rui’s surprise could not be concealed from Isabella next to him. Madam Aunt was very careful and her ‘sniffing’ was even better than the little maid, so she immediately felt that this woman was ‘suspicious’. Therefore, Madam Aunt insisted on following. Due to her presence, they could find the target immediately by tracking the secret marks.
At the moment Chen Rui saw Christina, he felt the star-like black eyes staring at him through the veil, and he couldn’t help but feel a little dazzled.
Isabella took the initiative to speak up, “Ms. Christina?”
The lady no doubt turned her attention to Madam Aunt, “Yes, you are…”
Ms. Yini ignored her. She just held Chen Rui affectionately, and pressed her plump breast to his arm, “Do you know her?”
Behind this action, there was an illusory hatchet that made Chen Rui shiver. He wanted to say that he not only know her, but they also had sex before. However, at this time, he could only pretend to be dumb, “This is my first time seeing this lady. How may I help you?”
Christina’s eyes were very calm behind the veil as she looked at Isabella.
With Isabella’s keenness, she could sense that behind this calmness was a strong self-confidence as if the opponent in front of her was not of the same level. This made Madam Aunt secretly vigilant and quite insulted. For a time, there seemed to be intangible electric sparks buzzing in between the 2 beautiful women wearing veils.
TL: Can this be resolved without using force?
