The Wolf’s Bride

In reality, Lloyd inciting the Pontiff to kill Andrius during the Praxis competition was the first move to deal with Old Hagstorm. This was the second move,

There must not be any mistakes in the family’s century–long plan, so he had to be extremely cautious.

“No problem.” The Insect Ruler grinned and said mysteriously, “Since you want to test me, then come. Don’t wait for me to make the first move, or you’ll be unable to withstand it.”

The words were confident to the point of arrogance.

Lloyd, who had been renowned in the Obaro continent for many years, could not help but be infuriated.

Swoosh…

The next second, he leaped forward like a sparrow taking flight.

Lloyd’s figure moved unpredictably in mid–air, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, making it difficult for anyone to predict when he would suddenly attack. NôvelDrama.Org © content.

However, this was all just child’s play to the Insect Ruler.

Whoosh…

While Lloyd was still in mid–air, the Insect Ruler suddenly thrust his palm in a certain direction.

Bam!

Immediately, a palm shot out from that direction and clashed with the Insect Ruler. It was none other than Lloyd.

The Insect Ruler predicted Lloyd’s attack!

Furthermore, the vast and intimidating inner energy made Lloyd retreat seven to eight steps to dissipate the overwhelming force.

On the other hand, the Insect Ruler stood where he was, unmoving as a mountain. He looked completely relaxed.

Swoosh!

Lloyd was unwilling to accept defeat and gathered his strength to attack again.

This time, he used the family’s secret technique. It was swift as the wind, invasive as fire, with unpredictable movements.

The Insect Ruler continued to smile as he made his move, effortlessly dissolving the attack into nothingness. Then, he skillfully reached out and grabbed Lloyd’s right hand like a claw.

Lloyd paled and was forced to retreat.

Riiip…

His sleeve was torn into five gashes, hanging in strips.

Seeing this, Lloyd finally accepted defeat. “Insect Ruler, you are indeed powerful!”

If the Insect Ruler had not held back, his entire right arm would have been crippled. He had no choice but to concede.

“So…” The Insect Ruler smiled and said, “Am I qualified to cooperate with you now?”

“Of course!” Lloyd was genuinely happy to find such a powerful ally and praised sincerely, “With your help, my heart is much more at ease. I look forward to working with you.”

“Likewise.”

Then, the two exchanged a laugh. A conspiracy that would sweep across the Obaro continent and affect Florence had officially begun.

In the mysterious place under the icy pool of Tartarus.

“Phew…”

Luna suddenly opened her eyes, revealing a starry and ever–changing brilliance. She had finally finished comprehending the Lamiai clan’s secret technique that the lamia passed on to her!

If she used the power of the demon snake and the lamia to activate these secret techniques, coupled with the terrifying Sanguis Blade, she would be unstoppable!

Then, Luna dug up a thick layer of ice and made a grave to bury the lamia inside.

“Master… Although we’ve only met for a day, I will never be able to repay you for the secret technique you taught me and the inner energy you transferred to me, as well as your immense/help.

“When I leave, I’ll definitely develop and promote the Lamiai clan’s secret arts. Please rest in peace, Master!”

Then, Luna paid her respects. After that, she looked at the tranquil blue water outside the cave.

“Hubby, I’m coming to save you!”

Luna’s face showed a confident and anticipating expression as she plunged into the water.

Splash…

Swoosh, swoosh…
