LOGIN"What's on your mind?" Landon asked.When he noticed Aria spacing out, he stopped feeding her porridge and touched her cheek ever so lightly.She shook her head as she came back to her senses. "Nothing."No sooner had Aria finished speaking than the cultural relic in her hand suddenly began to warm. Before she knew what was happening, a thread of golden light spilled out, circling as if it were sentient, forming a soft arc of light in midair."What's that?" Aria asked, her eyes widening. Without thinking, she wanted to sit upright, but Landon held her down by the shoulders. She turned to look at him, only to see his gaze harden abruptly. The golden light was reflected in Landon's pupils, and his emotions were unfathomable. His fingers tightened almost imperceptibly, and his Adam's apple bobbed ever so slightly. His expression was nearly impossible to read."Did you see it? A golden light spilled out of the cultural relic," Aria said somewhat anxiously, the relic in her hand st
The smile on Roan's face immediately froze. Then, it was replaced by a dark, murderous glare. He slammed the wine glass onto the coffee table, sending red liquid spilling over the edge and leaving a dark stain on the expensive imported carpet."You're still not taking the role?" Roan sneered, tapping the armrest of the couch aggressively as he spoke. "Elijah, how are you still talking tough at a time like this? Let's see if you can still be this stubborn after I force this down your throat!"In the next moment, Roan pulled out a transparent plastic bag containing a yellowish powder. It gleamed eerily under the crystal chandelier.He shook the bag in front of Elijah, not bothering to hide the wickedness in his tone. "Do you know what this is? It's a top-tier aphrodisiac. Tasteless and odorless. Just a bit of it, and you'll be overwhelmed with unbridled lust in less than half an hour."Elijah's gaze sharpened, his already chilling presence tightening into palpable menace with every p
Even so, Sylas had depleted his demonic energy while trying to suppress the Celestial Spirit and control the Demonic Spirit. On top of that, his soul had been damaged by Aria, and it still ached to this day.He frowned slightly as he picked up the Dual-Spirit Talisman again, feeling the continuous flow of demonic energy nourishing his soul.The pressing matter was to mend his damaged soul as quickly as possible. Once that was done, he would be able to help the Demonic Spirit destroy the Celestial Spirit and seize complete control over the arcane implement.When that happened, not even Landon, who suffered internal injuries, would be a match for him. Sylas also couldn't delay the search for Farshya's drakonic vein any longer. If he could locate it and siphon its fortune and spiritual energy, he would gain unimaginable power.Couple that with the Dual-Spirit Talisman, and no one would be able to stop his grand plan—not even Aria or Landon.At the thought of it, a hint of steely re
"Great. Remember what you said," Roan said icily. "You made the choice. Don't blame us for what happens in the future."Aria was watching all this unfold when a familiar voice suddenly rang in her mind."I'm right here with you."The voice was low, deep, and hoarse. It carried tenderness, yet it also held a resonant strength, as though it pierced through time and space and reached the deepest part of her consciousness.Aria froze. She stopped everything she was doing and looked over her shoulder. It was Landon. She knew that voice well. It belonged to the man she had grown so intimate with. She had heard it when he whispered into her ear as he held her close. His voice crossed the boundary between reality and dream and entered her consciousness."Landon," Aria responded anxiously, her voice heavy with longing. "I'm right here, and I saw Elijah, but he can't see me. Where am I? Did something happen to me?"But she didn't hear Landon's voice again. Instead, she was left standing
Landon's voice was laced with indifference. He tightened his grip until Morwenna's head began to crack. Morwenna thrashed violently in his hands, letting out inhumane cries, unable to form a single coherent word.A flicker of madness flashed in her desperate gaze. The black mist around her surged as she attempted to self-destruct and take Landon down with her.Although Landon remained calm, a dangerous edge glinted in his eyes."How dare you try to self-destruct?" He constricted the heavenly energy in his palm until golden light consumed Morwenna.With a muffled bang, Morwenna was reduced to nothing but a faint burned smell. Not even a trace of black mist remained.Just like that, Morwenna perished.Morwenna had escaped once, and Landon had let her slip away a second time due to the number of onlookers. This time, he would end her for good.The manifestation weakened significantly without Morwenna inside. Landon walked over and scooped Aria gently into his arms. Then he looked
"I can deal with you myself just fine," Morwenna sneered. The manifestation allowed Morwenna to travel faster and emit more evil energy.Morwenna transformed into a black mist that shot toward Aria. Her withered hand sliced through the air as she clawed at her. Aria's gaze sharpened as she twisted aside and narrowly avoided the strike. She flicked several silver needles from her fingertips toward Morwenna's weak points.The silver needles formed a perfect arc in the air before striking Morwenna's body, yet they bounced off her metallic body. "It's useless. My body is made of special materials. Your silver needles can't do anything to me!" Morwenna laughed before attacking Aria again.Morwenna darted through the manifestation, releasing black mist at Aria. Plants withered instantly wherever the mist touched, and the ground corroded into clusters of black holes.While dodging the relentless attacks, Aria searched for the manifestation's weaknesses. She knew she had to find the c
