And Lagaray's delicate face suddenly lost color!
She initially thought that with the help of the newly appointed Sword Saint Lambert, she and Jennifer had finally escaped the tiger's mouth. At this mont, she was already at the edge of the black-gray evil qi, less than two hundred ters from leaving.
But unexpectedly, the situation quickly deteriorated!
The intensity of the evil qi from that giant black tendril was so strong that even several tens of ters away, Lagaray knew it was far beyond what she could withstand.
Thus, she could only muster all her strength... to flee!
"Don't worry about ..." Jennifer's weak voice ca to her ears.
But at this mont, Lagaray had no energy to reply or comfort Jennifer, as she bit her lips tightly and charged to the right.
However, the speed of the giant demon tendril was faster.
"Boom!!"
A long whip-like shadow flashed by, and the giant shield shattered!
Both she and Jennifer were flung into the air by the huge strength.
...
anwhile.
In the Federation Congress building.
The discussion about the ownership of the Floating City remained intense.
"Ladies and gentlen, I think we should be more assertive. Although the young Lord Rein is very powerful, he is only one person. As for the significance of the Floating City, I believe I don't need to elaborate."
"Sotis, so iron-handed thods are necessary," said an elderly man wearing a Federation Marshal uniform, emphatically.
"Makes sense."
"Indeed."
As the head of the Federation Military Departnt, his words naturally garnered approval from many hawkish congressn.
Just then, the male attendant burst into the conference room again, swiftly approached Lawson, handed over a note, and whispered:
"Honorable Speaker, the second urgent ssage from Lord Tyrel."
This action once again broke the atmosphere of the conference room, as a group of congressn's gazes focused on the main seat, all curious about what important matters awaited this ti.
Speaker Lawson took the note, first casually glanced at it, but the next second, his face changed dramatically.
"Clatter!"
Even the luxurious pipe at his mouth couldn't be held, falling on the ground, shattering!
"Steel Throne! Full Moon Wizard!" Lawson murmured.
The room erupted in an uproar! Although so might have ambiguity over the term 'throne,' the later words 'Full Moon Wizard' were indeed deafening!
"Steel Throne?"
"If I didn't hear wrong, does this an that Lord Rein has ascended?"
"You didn't hear wrong; the title 'Steel Throne', in ancient tis, was indeed used only after ascending to Full Moon Wizard."
...
The Sword Saint Terrio's second communication had only one sentence: "Lord Rein of the Empire has ascended to beco a Steel Throne master, also the first newly ascended Full Moon Wizard in a millennium."
"Cough... um... Miss Trena, this ti you may need to trouble yourself to make a trip to the Floating City Ruins," Speaker Lawson said kindly to the beautiful congresswoman Trena.
"Ah? Alright..." Equally shocked by the news of Rein's ascension to Full Moon Wizard, Trena quickly nodded.
But thinking about her needing to proactively visit...
The beautiful congresswoman's face beca increasingly flushed, filled with a mix of shyness and excitent, along with a touch of worry.
"A Full Moon Wizard, comparable to a demigod... does such an existence still have interest in won?"
At this point, the head of the Military Departnt couldn't help but cough to cover his awkwardness, saying, "Indeed, Trena, you need to communicate well with Lord Rein... no, Lord Steel Throne, and strive to maintain a good relationship."
"If Lord Steel Throne could join the Federation, that would be ideal; even if not, it would be hopeful for Lord Steel Throne to achieve in-depth collaboration with the Federation, including but not limited to repairing the Floating City."
"Yes! Yes! This concerns millions of ordinary people within the Federation~" several hawkish congressn echoed.
....
Imperial City Tamriel.
Just as despair was forming in Lagaray's heart!
Suddenly, a massive fiery-red figure caught her and Jennifer, with a mature and noble female voice echoing in her ears.
"Don't be afraid, you are safe now."
This voice was sowhat familiar to Lagaray.
Lagaray looked up to see she and Jennifer were on the back of a giant red dragon, with an elegant, beautiful woman beside them.
"... Prince nia!"
This was Lagaray's first close look at the actual ruler of the Empire—'Red Queen' nia.
"Yes, you're called Lagaray, right?"
"And this is Jennifer?"
"Rein has spoken of you both," nia smiled.
"Rein ntioned us?" This certainly reduced Lagaray's tension significantly.
"No good! This is..."
Suddenly, nia's smiling face turned stern!
Lagaray was also taken aback, imdiately following nia's gaze, she found several strands of evil qi have already word their way like worms under Jennifer's pale and slender calf, quickly invading.
Evidently, the close encounter with the giant demon tendril led to the ordinary human Jennifer being afflicted by the overly dense evil qi.
"Lord Straz, please land quickly," nia said in a solemn tone.
...
At this mont, Rein had appeared above the vast Sumr Sea, seen again focusing, his figure disappearing once more....
After seven consecutive focuses.
Rein's figure appeared above the Imperial City Tamriel.
Looking at the dark evil qi domain covering most of the Imperial City, Rein's heart grew tense.
