Capítulo 1019: Chapter 898: The Desire to Regain the Initiative
After so back-and-forth, Shane’s mood gradually cald down.
Exactly.
Previously, Shane’s mood was far from calm.
The reason is none other than the current battle situation.
Although Shane is not a hero who worries about the country or the people, he also hopes for world peace where everyone gets along.
For a month now, watching the Royal Capital suffer attacks enough to cause its downfall, and the influx of refugees whose hotowns have been destroyed, even Shane feels oppressed.
Moreover, with all the pathways to the Demon Realm destroyed and the connection with the demons severed, not knowing how Ai Yi and Chafne are doing can’t help but affect Shane’s mood.
If Ai Yi and Chafne weren’t demons with strong powers, even if the newly born Primordial Demon has plans that plunge the Demon Clan into crisis, they likely wouldn’t be hard. Shane might not have been able to sit still and would’ve requested the Divine Race to help him, traveling to the Demon Realm with the Three Goddesses of Ti and Space.
Whenever this happens, Shane feels relieved.
“Luckily, the people around are either highly influential or very powerful.”
In such tis, only those with influence or strength can have a relatively safe environnt.
It’s the only ti Shane feels that knowing powerful individuals isn’t bad.
In contrast, previously, people thought Shane had the Divine Race and Demon Clan supporting him, a force too great to offend, but Shane felt no particular pride in this.
Of course, Shane is also grateful that, during these tis, friends and lovers continue to accompany him.
Their mundane routines help soothe the turmoil inside Shane, allowing him to remain calm.
Then, Shane looked at rica in his arms and spoke sowhat indulgently.
“I didn’t disturb your training, did I?”
Shane finally asked this question.
“Not at all.” rica wriggled uneasily in Shane’s embrace before saying shyly, “It’s just refining and honing my magic power to improve control, and generally, as long as the magic power isn’t uncontrollable, this training isn’t necessary. Nadura Goddess asked to do it daily as a precaution.”
After all, unlike others, rica’s magic power increases daily, uncontrollably.
Given this, to prevent power from going haywire, daily honing is necessary.
However, rica is different now; re magic power control can be improved quickly if she focuses.
Proof of this is that rica has learned the Magic Manipulation skill, raising it to Level 10.
Moreover, her Chanting and ditation skills are also Level 10, even elevating Magic·Fire and Magic·Ice to Level 10, making her skill set very impressive.
Through the Identification ability of Outer Destiny, Shane discovered that rica learned a skill called Magic·Nature.
“Nature Magic?”
Shane mused thoughtfully.
He isn’t a novice in magic; both Celestial Magic and Grant Magic have reached transcendent levels, coupled with his learning period at the Royal Palace Underground Magic Library, he is familiar with so renowned and powerful magic series.
Nature Magic is famous within Omni Potanssen.
Legend has it that it was created by Nature Goddess Nudura, imitating the power of her authority.
Nature Goddess taught this magic series to the Elf Clan, treasured as it’s only passed to those recognized by the Elf Queen.
The Elf Queen herself uses Nature Magic.
As do Leiya and Nia, the legendary great mages of the Elf Clan.
After becoming a blessing of Nudura, rica naturally was taught this magic.
rica has also elevated her Magic·Nature skill to Level 10.
Level 10 Nature Magic is a realm even the legendary great mages of the Elf Clan, Leiya and Nia, haven’t reached.
Within the Elf Clan now, aside from rica, only Elf Queen Sophie has mastered Nature Magic to Level 10.
Yet, the Elf Queen is one step away from the Limit Level, and due to being burdened by a curse, her unique skill can’t be used, even her blessing’s power isn’t fully realized.
On the other hand, rica has reached the Limit Level, with her unique skill awakened and, along with the Blessing of the Nature Goddess and the Staff of Nature bestowed by the Main God, Shane feels a sense.
“This shy little girl might not be weaker than You Lin and Hette Yada.”
Shane was very emotional.
Even Vivian, Tielle, Lu Muya, and others were astonished by rica’s transformation.
The once “ordinary” rica transford into such a strong figure in just a few months, causing amazent.
Especially Tielle, possibly stimulated by rica, has been training diligently, often sparring with Shane and leading expeditions to fight Refined Demons outside the city.
Since Tielle always protected rica, and rica greatly admired Tielle, rica, like Tielle, is one of Shane’s unofficially recognized wives; naturally, Tielle doesn’t want to be outshone by rica.
In fact, among those confird to be with Shane, she’s currently the weakest.
Needless to say about Luoqi, the battle in front of the Glory Hall had already let the world know that she inherited the powers of the Goddess of Fate due to her Unique Skill, allowing her strength to rival Transcendent Level Existences for a certain period.
Ai Yi is even more obvious, being a legitimate Demon, her renowned na has long been unparalleled under the heavens, and she is innately the Dragon King of Transcendence.
Even rica has reached Limit Level, her strength not inferior to Yule after Dragonification.
Then, among those who have confird relations with Shane, isn’t it just who is the weakest?
This fact made it impossible for Tielle not to be affected.
Fortunately, this girl doesn’t know that, secretly, there is an Enchanting Demon who quietly ascended in rank.
Otherwise, this girl would definitely explode on the spot.
Of course, saying “ascended in rank” isn’t entirely accurate.
After all, the Enchanting Demon has never really confird any relationship with Shane, they’ve rely had a few bedroll incidents by chance, and she doesn’t seem to care about it at all, never hinting at making Shane take responsibility, continuing to live her life how she wishes, sotis even making Shane doubt life itself.
“Are all modern beauties so carefree now?”
“In other novels, aren’t these breathtakingly beautiful female leads portrayed as pure and traditional, considering themselves tied forever once involved?”
“Why do they care even less than I do here?”
“Did I sleep with her, or did she sleep with ?”
Shane nearly went into seclusion from the confusion.
But, this was very much Chafne’s style.
As Shane was thinking this, rica seed to feel sowhat more at ease, getting used to Shane’s intimate gestures.
“Mr. Shane, are you going outside the city to hunt Demon Infants again today?”
rica asked softly.
“You noticed?”, Shane raised an eyebrow.
“Yes.” rica nodded slightly, in a mosquito-like voice said, “After receiving the Blessing of the Nadura Goddess, I’ve been favored by nature.”
The implication was that rica’s sensitivity to nature had greatly increased, thus noticing Shane’s departure.
Shane did not conceal.
“If I don’t intervene, unless Luoqi takes action, even Aridia would find it hard to hunt the Demon Infant, right?”
Shane said this.
Demon Infants possess a half-physical nature; besides those who have a Holy Sword like Shane and Luoqi, who can purify them, perhaps only Great Mages like Yule, who practice Holy Series Magic that can also purify evil, could handle Demon Infants.
Aridia can defeat, even crush the Demon Infant, but definitely can’t hunt them.
That’s why Demon Infants repeatedly appear. It’s not just because the countless had been cultivated over a thousand years under the operation of the Primordial Demon, but also because there’s almost no one capable of truly hunting them — they can only be repelled.
This inefficacy in reducing the number of Demon Infants actually ends up consuming and depleting one’s own forces.
In light of this, during this period, whenever he sensed the unique evil and eerie Magic Power of Demon Infants appearing outside the Royal Capital, Shane would engage.
After all, since he’s stationed at the Royal Capital, if he doesn’t step up, he’d just be indulging in a decadent lifestyle at ho while others fight life-and-death battles outside.
rica didn’t know Shane’s thoughts.
She just murmured worriedly.
“I wonder how everyone in the Elf Country is doing.”
Her murmur was heard by Shane.
“What’s wrong?” Shane asked with a half-smile, “Regretting not staying in the Elf Country with Her Majesty and the others?”
When the Elf Country encountered a major change, Shane hadn’t intervened due to being stationed at the Royal Capital, but rica had followed Sophie and the others back to the Elf Country to fight.
But later, rica returned to the Royal Capital.
“It was Nadura Goddess who sent back,” rica said sowhat uneasily, “Nadura Goddess thought that the new Primordial Demon had concerns about the Mitra Kingdom where Mr. Shane is stationed, and that they wouldn’t attack again until the real great battle arrived. Instead, the Elf Country might be attacked again, and needed in the Royal Capital to always take care of the Elf Clan.”
In short, Nadura wanted to ensure a backup plan, even preserving a seed for the Elf Clan.
If ever the Elf Country was indeed annihilated, and sothing happened to the Elf Clan, rica’s presence ant the Elf Clan could still have hope.
It cannot be denied, the actions of the new Primordial Demon over the past month had made the Goddesses feel deeply constrained.
In terms of combat strength, perhaps the grassroots power of the new Primordial Demon exceeds that of their side, but their upper-level combat power firmly overrides the opponent.
As a result, over this past month, the Three Clans, under the calculated sches of the new Primordial Demon, suffered a dismal 0-to-5 defeat in battles; it’s beyond just shaful, it’s sheer insult.
Shane could feel that the Goddesses were plotting sothing, preparing to regain the initiative in this war.
If they kept being passively beaten, no matter how strong they are, they could only et their downfall.
