--- Chapter 156 ---
Clank! BOOM!
Huo Yuhao charged to the enemy line with less energy than usual. His movent also looks more casual, flowing through the monster army gently.
"Die, Ruler of the Shadows!" A crocodile-headed monster swung its weapon at Huo Yuhao. A machete flew at the speed of sounds, showing just how powerful a high 8th Class Monster is.
Huo Yuhao observed the incoming gently and dodged with a thin hair difference, preparing himself to kick the monster's head. His leg traversed through a blindspot and struck the sweet spot on the crocodile's left ear.
"Head's Strike." He comnted while walking away, leaving a monster with a destroyed brain.
Thud!
As the crocodile-headed monster drops to the ground, the other monster looks at Huo Yuhao with fear. Such an ordinary kick dealt so much damage.
It's White Room's Martial Arts. A perfect combination of all martial arts from Huo Yuhao's first life. It focused on one aspect, killing and shutting the enemy down with a precise hit.
With complicated requirents such as Perfect Body and Perfect Control, only a handful of people could use this martial art in the past.
Yet, this is the cultivation world where people could punch mountains in nothing, so martial arts an no shit in front of energy blast bullshit.
That was what Huo Yuhao thought until he tried to remaster this martial art again. He discovered his haki and energies blend well with each movent, even enhancing them to an unknown realm.
The monster race was speechless because Huo Yuhao used them as training dummies. He slaughtered their fellow brethren one after another rcilessly, turning them into lifeless vessels for his shadows.
Huo Yuhao breathed out, closing the first kata/form. He looked down and saw a pile of monster corpses under his feet, each with 8th Class strength.
"Thank you for the lesson." He emotionlessly comnted.
"My liege, we have finished our task." The elite shadow appeared and reported everything that happened on their sides.
Although Iris, Brunhilde, and Khiron did a satisfactory job as usual, Rosa showed an astonishing result of killing the 700.000 monsters herself.
Since the last monster attack, Rosa was "quickly." ordered to a defensive role. Every shadow was surprised by her ability now. Her Devil Force to grow thorny plants from shadow is so powerful that it always catches the enemy off guard.
Rosa's support helped the shadow army because the thorny plants have a potent paralyzing effect on the enemy. The thorn also bled and poisoned the monsters, weakening them excessively. Her ability makes it easier for the shadow army to kill more monsters.
Huo Yuhao glanced at them and responded, "Not bad. But you guys can be better."
"Rosa, teach them battlefield tactics and manipulation you learned in the past. I want all the elite shadows to be able to adapt to every battlefield, no matter what's the disadvantage. Even dirty moves are allowed..."
"Do you understand?"
"Yes, my liege," Rosa responded calmly, feeling Huo Yuhao was colder than usual.
Huo Yuhao used Extre Lightning Mirage and disappeared from the battlefield, leaving the elite shadows.
"Um, do you guys feel it?" Rosa asked her fellow subordinate.
Khiron nodded and responded, "As a matter of fact, I do. My liege grew stronger and went through deep hibernation for two weeks recently, triggering a weird change."
"It makes him more focused on the battlefield but colder in a way."
"Colder, like temperature?" Brunhilde tilted her head in confusion, making them stare at this clueless winged shadow warrior.
Seeing her colleague's reaction, Brunhilde beca more confused and added, "What? Did I say sothing wrong?"
"I don't dislike Brunhilde. Stay cute, okay." Iris reached over Brunhilde's head and rubbed it with her hand.
'Huh??' Brunhilde watched Khiron and Rosa nod at Iris's statents. After all, the valkyrie is more brute than a brain.
Agreeing on sothing, Rosa moved her thorns on the battlefield even further and cleaned the rest of the monster army. She wanted to finish this as quickly as possible, craving to finish her task to teach Iris, Khiron, and Brunhilde about Battlefield Tactics.
"I hope Master Theo is okay..." Rosa stared into the distance.
[The amount of shadow you could extract have increased]
[You now could store 5000 Shadows in total]
Huo Yuhao listened to Evo's notification and kept moving to the Black Pearl Castle. He already guessed this to happen, as breakthroughs always enhance his skills.
SWOOSH!
"Your Highness!" Damian greeted him imdiately.
Huo Yuhao landed on the castle wall and returned, "What's the matter, Damian?"
Damian put on a complicated face and brought the communication device out. He told Huo Yuhao that soone from the capital was sending him a ssage this morning.
It was from Alexandra von Admante. An order to call her back upon arriving at Black Pearl Castle.
"Hmm..." Huo Yuhao grabbed the device and waited for a mont, hearing a familiar and fear-inducing voice from the other side.
"Theo..."
He frowned and watched his hand tremble slightly. Theomars must have been very scared of this woman. "What do you want?" He replied casually.
Alexandra was stunned for a second because Theomars had never used such a tone with her. She gained her composure and said, "I just want to say sothing."
"rcedes and Clara... Have they done bad things to you there?"
"Ha..." Huo Yuhao couldn't believe this bitch. The audacity of asking a question like this.
He laughed in disbelief and mocked, "And? Does it matter to you, dear 1st sister? I believe you're no different than those two."
"So what if you're the family head? In the end, you're a disgusting violator who disguised yourself in virtue light."
"And don't get started on how disgusting your past was ..."
"..." Alexandra was too stunned to speak.
This tone.
This voice.
This anger.
And this disgust.
It makes Alexandra shudder for so reason. There is no way Theomars could possess a threat against her because he was only a weak devil with a destroyed Devil Source. He wouldn't be able to cultivate anymore.
However, what's this sensation of dread in her chest?
As if a monstrous beast faced Alexandra on the other side of this communication device.
Alexandra focused for a mont and envisioned a handso young man with black hair and scarlet eyes. He brimd with almost endless inner energy and possessed the Aura of the Conqueror, staring at her emotionlessly like she was nothing but dust.
"Why so quiet? Don't tell you are Surprised. Hahaha, when I stepped back into the Admante Family. I promised to destroy everything there and put you on a leash." Theomars' voice echoed in the room.
"You mad Bitch."
That last line struck Alexandra right in the core and made her snap. She exuded a murderous aura and giggled, slamming her hand on the table continuously.
BOOM!
The whole office is blown away by her cultivation realm alone. The sky changed color and filled with aurora.
", a bitch?" An extrely terrifying yet beautiful smile plastered Alexandra's face.
"Aww. That was adorable~!"
"Theo, sister has been suppressing herself, you know."
"I don't want to hurt you anymore after that incident, but..."
"You provoked ." Alexandra made the whole land in the Admante Family's residence tremble in chaos. "Older sister is mad now."
"I have no choice but to kill you..." She licked her lips sensually.
"1st Sister, please lower your pressure!" rcy suddenly appeared and hugged Alexandra from behind. At this point, everyone in Admante's residence will die out of shock.
Clara followed and grabbed Alexandra's hand. "Yes, 1st Sister. Please appease your anger and think about the surroundings."
Alexandra huffed and returned to her aloof persona, disabling all the pressure. "I want to visit, Theo." She said firmly.
rcy lifted her brows and comnted, "Why so suddenly... Theo is living fine in that castle, 1st Sister. Aren't you the one who prohibited us from touching him??"
"You're also busy, rember? The Hunting Festival of the Karuta Empire will co soon. We should raise Admante's prestige more than Theo's at this mont."
"You're right." Alexandra becos calr when hearing rcy's comnt.
Taking her chances, Clara opened her mouth and said, "Why don't we dispatch Harmonia and Triana to pick Theo up, 1st Sister? As far as I know, they haven't done anything for one year."
"They are more than enough to take him here, no? What can Theo do against two 9th-Class Devil Warriors? And He literally cried when facing us." She continued while feeling unbearably wrong. She wanted to throw away her clothes and begged Huo Yuhao for forgiveness after bad-mouthing him.
However, this is necessary to fulfill her task.
Alexandra processed Clara's words and answered, "That's not a bad idea, Clara. Call Harmonia and Triana here."
The three sisters waited for five minutes and sensed the bustling wind in the area. A twin girl with tan skin and pink-blonde hair appeared before them. They possessed amused expressions with matching bluish-red eyes.
Harmonia von Admante is an active-looking girl, wearing a black skirt and white dress. She wore a blue coat over her dress, showing her badge as one of the renowned Devil Warriors in the capital.
anwhile, Triana von Admante is a passive-looking girl, wearing a white skirt and black dress in the sa style. She wore a green coat over her dress, having the sa badge as Harmonia.
"Sisters, are you calling Monia~?" Harmonia smiled sweetly at them.
Triana nodded and questioned, "Mm, do you call us here?"
"Yes." Alexandra brushed the formal greeting, telling the twins about Theomars' provocation.
"Eh? Monia is shocked. How could Theo be so fierce?" Harmonia put on a curious look.
Triana grabbed Harmonia and flatly continued, "Theo, so fierce..."
"That doesn't matter." Alexandra firmly retorted. "I call you here for one job. Bring Theo back to the Admante Family."
"I give you two a week..."
"Failure is not permitted."
"Roger~!" Harmonia smiled cheerfully.
"Umu, Roger..." Triana charged her Devil Force, creating an invisible air force around her.
"Then, we'll depart imdiately."
Alexandra blinked once and noticed the twins had disappeared from her vision. "Don't disappoint ..." She whispered while returning to the Admante's mansion.
'That was intense. I almost wet myself.' rcy sighed in relief.
Clara bit into her fingernail and mumbled, 'Sorry, master. This pet is committing such a sin toward you.'
...
...
"Hey, Riana," Harmonia called her twin's na affectionately.
"Yes?" Triana responded silently.
Harmonia kissed Triana's cheek and asked, "Do you think we could have fun before bringing Theo back?"
"You know, the kinky stuff. I haven't done it for more than a year now."
"Kinky stuff..." Triana blushed a little. "S-Sure."
Hugging her twin, Harmonia giggled and declared, "Then it's decided. We will squeeze Theo's little brother dry before bringing him back."
