Becoming the Demon Lord: Taming the Demon Queen Begins

Chapter 173: Hey, give me a hand here

The entire floating castle was in chaos, flames spreading everywhere. Amidst the destruction, Holy Maiden Aeliana fixed her gaze on the Dragon Blood Formation buried in the ruins.

Sinister, blood-red bubbles churned in the pool, releasing a nauseating stench.

Countless blood patterns spread and grew, their movements eerie and unpredictable.

Without hesitation, Holy Maiden Aeliana stepped forward, heading straight for the Dragon Blood Formation.

But as if sensing her approach, the energy within the Dragon Blood Formation suddenly contracted without warning, and in an instant, it exploded.

"Boom!"

A powerful shockwave erupted, destroying the entire Dragon Blood Formation in the blink of an eye.

"Not good!"

Holy Maiden Aeliana quickly reacted.

Light transformed into a flurry of petals, enveloping the very center of the Dragon Blood Formation amidst the explosion.

Despite the immense power of the blast, the area protected by the petals remained as steady as a mountain.

With a gentle wave of her hand, the blood-red mist dispersed in the wind.

But the Dragon Blood Formation had already self-destructed, leaving nothing but ruins.

Holy Maiden Aeliana frowned slightly.

It seemed that Holy Emperor Featherwind had anticipated this.

Still, something had been preserved at the last moment.

As the petals slowly unfurled, they revealed a broken dragon horn and a few red blood pearls.

The dragon horn was covered in cracks, severely damaged, and its spiritual energy seemed to have been completely drained.

In contrast, the blood pearls were unusually bright.

The bloodstains within them emitted an unsettling aura, sending a chill down anyone's spine who looked at them.

"Are these pearls connected to the Dragon Blood Formation?"

Holy Maiden Aeliana furrowed her brows, unable to discern the true nature of the blood pearls, even with her abilities.

At that moment, Timothy approached her and said, "Holy Maiden, why don't you let me take care of these pearls?"

Holy Maiden Aeliana looked at him with mild curiosity. "You think you can figure them out?"

"I should be able to, but it might take some time," Timothy nodded.

"Alright, I'll leave them with you then. I'll be waiting for your report~"

Holy Maiden Aeliana handed the items to Timothy, smiling softly. "But what should we do with this castle?"

"That's easy. We're going to take down that old bastard Holy Emperor Featherwind sooner or later, so there's no need to show him any mercy."

Timothy floated into the air, and behind him, his Sacred Form suddenly appeared.

The massive golden figure's arm was covered in intricate patterns, and its colossal fist came crashing down like a mountain.

With a terrifying, howling wind, this punch carried an overwhelming force!

In an instant, the entire castle seemed to be engulfed by the enormous shadow of the fist.

"No, no, please!"

Countless people screamed in terror as a sturdy barrier rose over the castle, trying to fend off the attack.

But this punch was far beyond what the castle could withstand.

With a force that seemed capable of shaking the heavens and earth, the punch landed, unleashing a deafening sound that echoed across the sky.

"Boom!"

The castle trembled violently, countless buildings collapsing and crumbling.

Under the relentless assault of the raging winds, the castle could no longer hold out and shattered into pieces.

Flames filled the sky as the once-grand castle disintegrated, its fragments raining down from the heavens.

As for the practitioners stationed there, they were completely unable to control their bodies, plummeting along with the debris.

Whether they survived or not would depend entirely on their luck.

The once-magnificent floating castle had, in that moment, been reduced to nothing but a pile of rubble.

Everything was obliterated!

"Too bad Holy Emperor Featherwind isn't here. I would've loved to knock his head off," Timothy said with a hint of regret.

"Holy Emperor Featherwind is always scheming. He's violent, sure, but he never shows his face unless he's absolutely certain of his safety. If I could, I'd drag him out myself. The nerve of him, targeting Sylvia and even daring to think about Blooming Sanctuary—I guess he's really ready to risk it all," Holy Maiden Aeliana said, her voice tinged with anger.

But then, her expression softened into concern as she warned Timothy, "You should be careful, though. Holy Emperor Featherwind has been planning an attack on Sky Sanctuary for a long time. The death of Holy Emperor Thunderflame didn't scare him off,it only made him more aggressive. If things get serious, you need to contact me immediately.

Facing the forces of two Holy Emperors at once could be tough, even for Sylvia."

"Don't worry," Timothy replied, his eyes flashing with determination. "I don't know what those two Holy Emperors are plotting, but whatever it is, I'm ready to face it. I've been waiting a hundred years to settle the score for the goddess. Killing just one Holy Emperor Thunderflame isn't enough. All three of them need to pay for what they've done. Since they've shown up, none of them are getting away."

"But before that, there's something more important I need to take care of," Timothy suddenly said with a slight smile.

"What's that?" Holy Maiden Aeliana asked, puzzled.

"Valentine's Day," Timothy replied.

"Ugh, you two!" Holy Maiden Aeliana groaned, exasperated.

Even with Sylvia not around, these two were constantly flaunting their love. Sylvia had lent Timothy to Aeliana just so she could secretly prepare a Valentine's Day gift for him. But who would've thought Timothy was planning the same thing?

It's just Valentine's Day! Do they really have to go this far? Holy Maiden Aeliana screamed internally, feeling a mix of frustration and envy.

But deep down, she didn't really know the answer to that question. After all, she didn't have a lover. She was, in fact, very much single…

"Ugh, so unfair," Holy Maiden Aeliana muttered, casting a resentful glance at Timothy, but she couldn't really argue with him. Calling them cheesy would be an understatement—they practically lived to show off their love!

The entire floating castle had been reduced to ashes, falling from the dark sky like scattered embers. The scene, oddly enough, had a certain beauty to it, as the glowing fragments lit up the night like a starry sky.

But despite the castle's destruction, the barrier in the sky above remained impassable.

"Hey, give me a hand here. I can't get back on my own," Holy Maiden Aeliana called out, her face softly illuminated by the glowing embers, making her look as delicate as a flower.

"Ahem, alright," Timothy cleared his throat, turning around and gently taking Holy Maiden Aeliana's hand, guiding her away from the sky.

As they moved through the night, the light casting a soft glow on them, Holy Maiden Aeliana remained silent, her cheeks slightly flushed, adding a touch of beauty to her already graceful appearance.

Out of nowhere, Timothy casually remarked, "You know, Holy Maiden, I just realized something—you're actually quite beautiful in certain moments."

"Certain moments?" Holy Maiden Aeliana blinked in surprise.

"Yeah, like when you're not talking," Timothy said with a playful grin.

"Timothy, you—!"

"What can I say? Holy Maiden, you're always trying to charm me," Timothy teased.

"I don't care!" Holy Maiden Aeliana huffed.

In the night sky, Timothy led the way, with Holy Maiden Aeliana chasing after him, her frustration evident.

Too bad Timothy only had one Binding Immortal Rope left and was reluctant to use it. Otherwise, he would've loved to teach Holy Maiden Aeliana a lesson. Experience more tales on m v|l e'-NovelBin.net
