However, just as Kiz was about to go another round with Elia in bed, her expression turned serious. “Someone’s coming.”
“Who… Wait! I know, it came faster than I expected!”
Elia quickly rushed out of the castle with Kiz.
Outside, Elia looked up and saw that the sky above them had split open… That’s right, split open.
Moreover, it happened suddenly, without any warning. The crack appeared silently right above the Vampire Castle in the City of Shadows.
Also, golden light flowed along the edges of the crack. Though not blinding, it caused a burning pain for all Blood Clan members who looked directly at it.
That was pure Holy Light, a deadly poison to the Blood Clan.
At this point, the civilians on the streets screamed and fled in all directions.
At the same time, soldiers raised their weapons toward the sky, but no one dared to shoot the first arrow or cast the first spell.
Then the crack grew larger, and a massive amount of Holy Light poured down, but it froze the moment it touched the tops of the buildings.
In the end, the Holy Light formed a pillar that connected the ground to the sky… and within it, a figure was slowly descending.
As expected, it was Lillian. She had come.
Lillian landed on the ground and looked around at the buildings and people. Her expression was as calm as if she were looking at a pile of insignificant stones.
“Not here…” she said softly.
Then she raised her hand, causing Holy Light to surge from her palm and spread outward.
Wherever the light passed, the air froze, time stopped. The residents of the City of Shadows remained frozen in their escape poses, the soldiers were frozen in that instant with their weapons raised, and even the wind ceased.
But one person could move freely in this frozen world.
Elia walked out of the castle gates. Golden Holy Light swirled around her, resisting Lillian’s magic… She looked at the girl standing in the center of the square, her fingers tightening slightly. “Lillian.”
“You’re here,” Lillian said softly.
As her voice fell, time resumed its flow.
The moment people realized they could move, they immediately fled for their lives.
As for the soldiers, they tried to attack Lillian, but all attacks were deflected the moment they touched the golden barrier around her.
“Don’t waste your energy. I don’t want to hurt you,” Lillian said.
Then Elia took a step forward and said, “Then let’s fight somewhere else, somewhere that won’t affect anyone around us.”
Lillian tilted her head and thought for a moment. Then she extended her index finger and gently tapped the air. Golden light shot from her fingertip, drawing an arc between them…
The next second, the arc expanded and transformed into a massive golden Light Gate.
Beyond the gate was an endless Void, filled with countless tiny golden specks of light floating within, like a frozen sea of stars.
“This is my Domain. If we fight inside, we won’t hurt anyone outside.”
After saying that, Lillian turned and walked into the Light Gate.
Looking at the gate, Elia took a deep breath. Then she turned back to look at Kiz, who was not far behind… The two exchanged a deep gaze for a moment.
“Give it your all and come back safely,” Kiz finally said to her.
Elia nodded firmly, then turned and walked into the Light Gate.
At that moment, the Light Gate turned into specks of starlight and vanished… As for the battle that took place inside the Domain, perhaps only those involved would know.
After watching Elia enter, Kiz suddenly switched back to the expressionless poker face she used with others and muttered, “You sure picked a great time to show up, Lillian. If you come back, just wait and see how I deal with you.”
Then she looked up at the sky and whispered, “Elia, do your best…”
Inside the Domain was an endless Void… No up or down, no far or near. Only floating specks of light and occasional fragments of stars could be seen.
Elia stood in the Void, treading on ground that was completely invisible.
As for Lillian, she stood ten steps away opposite her. Her white dress fluttered gently in a breeze that came from nowhere.
“This is my world… And here, I am the rule,” Lillian said, then raised her hand and waved it gently. Countless golden swords of light condensed in the Void, each one pointing at Elia.
Upon seeing this, Elia did not choose to dodge.
She raised her right hand and spread her fingers wide, causing the Golden Holy Light in her palm to form a massive shield of light.
Each sword of light struck the shield, causing violent explosions. Though the shield trembled and cracks spread across it, it never shattered.
Lillian tilted her head and said softly, “You’ve gotten stronger.”
“So have you,” Elia replied with just a smile.
Then, Lillian withdrew the swords of light.
But the next second, her figure instantly vanished from where she stood.
Elia’s pupils contracted. Without time to think, her body instinctively dodged to the left. A golden blade of light grazed her shoulder, cutting off more than a dozen strands of her hair.
Lillian had already appeared behind her, holding a longsword condensed from pure Holy Light.
“Your reactions have gotten faster,” Lillian said.
Elia didn’t answer. She turned and struck a palm at Lillian.
Lillian sidestepped to avoid the blow. The pillar of light contained in Elia’s palm grazed Lillian’s clothes and shot into the distance, exploding into a mushroom cloud in the Void.
“Interesting…” Then the runes on Lillian’s sword suddenly burst with light. A massive beam, ten times thicker than Elia’s pillar of light, shot out from the sword’s tip.
Elia, in turn, wove the golden light into a net in front of her, so the beam crashed into it… At the same time, the entire Void trembled.
Seeing this, Lillian wiggled her finger. The beam she had released suddenly split into countless thin threads, slipping directly through the gaps in the light net.
Elia’s expression changed. She instantly transformed into a flash of golden light and vanished from her spot.
“You dodge pretty fast…” Lillian remarked.
“You’ve learned a lot of new tricks too,” Elia replied.
“Learn? No, these things are all stored inside me. I can use them whenever I want.” Then her figure vanished again.
And this time, Lillian’s speed was so fast that even Elia couldn’t track her. Blades of light came from all angles, each strike extremely lethal.
Elia dodged desperately.
But her shoulders, arms, thighs, and other places were still cut with wounds… Then the blood seeping from her wounds condensed into droplets in the Void and shot back at Elia.
In other words, if she got injured and bled, that blood would become a weapon for Lillian to attack her.
“Too slow,” Lillian’s voice came from all directions.
Elia gritted her teeth… It seemed time to use her trump card! The power she had gained in the Trial Ground… Though that power was a bit… extremely violent, and could even cause her to lose control.
But if she didn’t use this thing, Elia would never see that Little Princess who had given herself completely to her last night.
She closed her eyes, causing a massive amount of Golden Holy Light to surge from within her.
Then she directly used that Holy Light to form a violent golden vortex in the air, which also revealed Lillian’s figure.
The next second, Lillian was caught by the edge of the vortex and sent flying backward. She flipped several times in the air before barely stabilizing herself.
When Elia opened her eyes again, her originally sapphire-like eyes had turned into a pure gold full of pressure and holiness.
“The real fight starts now~ I say, little Lillian, you’d better experience it well!”
