NOVPUBLance’s heart stirred more and more as he thought.
Domain Heaven.
Domain Hell.
Domain Dragon Palace.
Domain Blood Sea.
If he could bring all mythical legends to life through the concept of domains, it would be somewhat invincible.
Of course, it was unrealistic to bring the deities of legends into existence; he lacked the ability, and even if he did have it, he lacked the audacity.
Hmm?
Damn it, he had been distracted for a moment and had devoured a tenth of Justin’s domain kingdom.
He hadn’t planned to destroy Justin’s domain; he simply wanted to showcase his Innate Divine Ability, just to tell Justin that he could leave the domain anytime he wanted.
There was no need to fight.
Attempting to subjugate him by force was unrealistic.
And as for deciding his marital affairs, that was even more unrealistic.
With a single thought, the pitch-black ring that shrouded a tenth of the domain kingdom silently dispersed, and the living creatures, flowers, and trees it had devoured appeared unharmed before Justin.
The area where Lance was located once again had light and sound.
Justin could see Lance as well.
Seeing that the Flower Elves within his domain had neither suffered harm nor death, and that the domain had not been completely devoured, Justin breathed a sigh of relief.
Having left for over two thousand years and now returned, Lance had acquired the power to confront them head-on.
Lance’s pitch-black circle could devour his domain, which means it could naturally devour those of the other several old fossils as well.
He didn’t believe that the devoured domain was returned undamaged because Lance lacked the power to destroy it; on the contrary, Lance had the ability but chose not to do so.
It was probably a way to tell him that today’s Lance now had the qualifications to speak with him as an equal, treating him as the same Black Magic Dragonkin Lance that could be dealt with arbitrarily like in the past... was somewhat inappropriate.
"If I had known just how strong your innate abilities were, I would have never let you leave the Abyss regardless of what else, let alone intervene and beat you, prompting you to voluntarily keep your distance from the princess of our clan. I’ve misjudged... Actually, it’s not entirely a misjudgment; you’ve hidden too well, knowing what you want and what you’re after. Your goal has always been clear.
We old timers thought we had seen through you, thinking we could control you, believing that even if none of the princesses from our various royal families could subdue you, we could.
It turns out that not only could the princesses from our royal families not subdue you, but even we old timers couldn’t.
Maybe, from the beginning, you never harbored any thoughts of submission, nor did you think we were qualified to command your loyalty."
Justin flapped his wings and flew from the clouds to a spot not far from Lance with a lot on his mind.
Any thoughts of threatening or trapping Lance vanished completely.
"Don’t think of me as so sly and cunning. Back then, all I focused on was studying, wanting to arm myself with knowledge, to become stronger and capable of protecting myself.
After I accomplished my studies, when you had me teach the noble offspring, I never held back my knowledge, something you should know well. If I hadn’t taught your royal and noble offspring with dedication, you wouldn’t have allowed me free access to the Royal City.
To peruse the books of the Royal City library... actually, whether it was before or now, I’ve had no enmity towards any of your great royal families."
"That’s true; we can feel that you have no enmity toward us. If you had been hostile toward our royal families back then, you might not have lived to this day."
"So after I leave this domain, could you tell the old timers of the great royal families not to trouble me?
It’s been many years, and I truly came to the Abyss to find my lost child, not with the intention to cause chaos or to fight for supremacy."
"You might not be seeking supremacy, but our royal families are. The throne of the Demon Emperor has been vacant for tens of thousands of years, and the royal families have already planned to let the heirs to the throne from various families fight it out.
The one who can stand against many and subdue the other heirs will be unanimously named the Demon Emperor by the royal families.
The power you displayed publicly before has likely drawn the attention of the royal families. You might not seek supremacy, but they still wish you to become a partner for the royal heirs.
Seeing you emerge unscathed from my domain will only make them compete for you even more.
Unfortunate for them, your current power allows you to fully control your destiny, and we old timers can no longer coerce you."
We old timers can no longer coerce you, but the rightful heirs of the various royal families might still vie for you, target you. Brace yourself mentally; they won’t let you leave the Abyss easily. Besides... the strength they possess now... even if it’s not quite up to yours, won’t be much less.
They may even be stronger than us old folks, probably got that from you. Ever since you left the Abyss, they’ve become extremely low-profile and have also started reading, finding all sorts of ways to become stronger.
So much so that we don’t even know the extent of their power now.
Yes, I’m referring to the matter of concealing their strength."
"..."
Could this also be related to him?
Lance wouldn’t take the blame for this; it’s only normal for Demons to be cunning and sneaky, knowing how to hide an ace up their sleeve.
Justin approached Lance, patted his shoulder with a hand, "I wish you a pleasant time in the Abyss this time."
As his words fell, Domain Heaven dissipated, and they appeared in Demon God Altar Square.
The great Demon, Andrews, saw not a single wound on Lance and a look of astonishment flashed in his crimson eyes. Even Justin’s Domain was no match for this fellow?
"Your Domain couldn’t handle Lance?"
"Can’t handle him. Lance has now attained the strength to converse with us as equals. Gentlemen, if you believe me, let’s leave this place to the younger ones. We’re old and can’t help them anymore. Whether they can subdue Lance or not is up to them now."
"I don’t believe it."
A powerhouse from the Medusa Clan looked towards Lance, her pupils glowing with a strange light.
???!!!
What’s happening?
Why can’t I see Lance?
Lance is clearly standing there; why can’t she see him?
"Where’s Lance? Where did Lance go?!"
"He’s still standing in the same spot. Bessary... what’s wrong with you? Are you blind? Otherwise, how could you not see him?"
Great Demon Andrews looked puzzled. Lance hadn’t moved from his spot, so how could Bessary not see him?
"Her vision, her senses, have been devoured. The reason why we can see Lance is because Lance wants us to see him. Bessary can’t see Lance because Lance doesn’t want her to.
If Lance wished, he could even deprive Bessary of her hearing."
Having witnessed Lance’s abilities in the Domain, Justin was yet again shocked by this power of Lance’s.
Stripping away light, sound, vision, senses, what kind of Magic is this guy using?
He clearly harbors a strand of divine light attribute, but the Magic he’s using now is also extremely eerie, wicked.
Could Black Magic Dragonfolk be this sinister?
Or is it that Lance is simply not the ordinary Dark Magic Dragonkin Lance?
"Bessary, look here."
Hearing Lance’s voice, the strong warrior of the Medusa Clan, Bessary, instinctively looked towards Lance, and this time she saw him. The moment she saw Lance’s eyes, a look of shock appeared in her own. When she tried to close them, it was already too late.
Lance... had actually mastered the Petrification Technique!
Likewise, with the eyes turning living beings to stone!
Why?
Why would a member of the Black Magic Dragonfolk have their Medusa Clan’s Petrification Technique?
With many questions, Bessary turned into a stone statue and fell from the sky. 𝑛𝑜𝑣𝑝𝑢𝘣.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Princess Medusa Freya hurriedly flew to catch Bessary.
At the same time... her gaze towards Lance also revealed a look of puzzlement. Why does Lance, the teacher... know the Petrification Technique?
Great Demon Andrews, Fallen Angel Justin, and the Night Elf, all had shock written on their faces.
