Crimson Overlord

Chapter 166 Sparring

Please let me rest,” Kaguya asked, and Orpheus nodded. Even if he wanted to continue, he couldn’t because he received a call from the empress.

Upon receiving her call, Orpheus couldn’t help but feel a little amused as the corners of his mouth perked up.

”You are up to something evil again,” Kaguya commented before leaving for the bathroom.

”How rude. Well, I enjoy toying with this one and his son. This will be entertaining for a while before meeting him.” He mumbled before leaving the bed and heading outside on the balcony to take the call.

Once on the balcony, Orpheus peaked upon the dawn-lit street with his crimson eyes, as if it were a waking lady seeing through long eyelashes.

”Evening, beautiful lady. How have you been? I missed your voice.” He said in a voice totally different from his usual voice. His voice seemed full of longing, and the empress on the other side felt her body shuddering, becoming hot all of a sudden; However, she knew he was just sweet-talking her; something inside couldn’t help but to be moved, how much she wished to hear such compliment from someone, Orpheus knew exactly how to touch those sensitive areas.

Empress Lilia recalled that dream, that steamy dream where she was getting fucked, and she couldn’t only think of one thing, to feel Orpheus inside her cunt for real. She couldn’t tell what was happening to her body since that day, but he wanted her; this desire had surpassed anything she had ever felt and could control. If you can’t control it, better make use of it.

”Sweet talk, but I like it. Stefan, can we meet?” The empress asked, directly going into the subject, not beating around the bush.

”A meeting?” Orpheus asked as if considering something.

The empress’s heart skipped a beat, afraid he might refuse, so she added.

”There is something important I wanted to talk about. I want to use your connection, so please schedule a day, and we will meet.”

”Okay, I understand. I will contact you soon.” Orpheus accepted before cutting off the connection.

After the call, he was smiling, no escaping from him anymore.

”Kaguya, there’s somewhere I need to go. See you tomorrow.” Orpheus left those words behind and disappeared.

And Kaguya, who came from the bathroom, a towel wrapped around her beautiful form, pouted.

”Hmph! You could have slept here tonight. Well, don’t worry, you can escape all you want; the end result will not change. I’ll make you fall for me without a doubt.” She declared before changing into a new nightgown and going to bed. A few minutes later, she was already sleeping soundlessly.

°°°°°

Orpheus reappeared in Nix’s castle.

”Greetings, father. I’m-“

Before she could finish talking, Orpheus cut her off and announced.

”Let’s spar!”

Nix was happy because she hadn’t sparred against her father; it had been more than two thousand years; it was time to show him how much she had progressed; maybe she could win now that his injuries had not healed, or so she thought.

Orpheus flicked his fingers, and a portal was created; he went through this portal and disappeared. Nix, didn’t hesitate and followed her father and walked in, immediately met by a dynamic world. She looks upon a vast landscape of huge mountains, many of which have waterfalls that flow down and meet in a giant river flowing gently in your direction. Low, ominous sounds can be heard in the distance.

Much remains to be discovered here, but not everything hidden may be as pleasant as this world.

All around her, she could see strange shapes of creatures nobody could’ve ever imagined. She had never seen them even though she had lived long enough.

”Attack!” Orpheus ordered, and Nix nodded before conjuring darkness, the sky darkened, and a giant claw made of darkness attacked Orpheus.

Bang!

Unfortunately, this giant claw did no damage even after landing on him, and the ground was gouged.

”You will die if you don’t fight seriously, you know?” He declared while emitting killing intent.

Nix’s body shuddered under his terrific killing intent; she knew she might die if she didn’t fight seriously, so she suppressed her emotions and concentrated on surviving. From the center of her body, a bloody glow erupted and enveloped her entire body.

BOOM

The strength of her aura was amplified countless times. The radiance of her body dazzled the world.

Whoosh~!

The radiance from Nix’s body collided with Orpheus’s killing intent, releasing seething sounds. As this happened, Nix eyed her father.

”Father, I will show you.”

Nix promised as a vibrant halo appeared behind her. A dark red halo. Her strength skyrocketed, and red origin covered her body.

And then she attacked!

Brilliant crimson light flooded out, carrying a never-ending devastating force. Above the light, the halo followed, and inside it, the mouth of a bloody dark red snake emerged.

ROAR! Hiss!

The giant snake let out a world-piercing roar. It awakened the tranced living beings worldwide and sent them in shock.

”Devour!”

Nix shouted.

Orpheus’s lips curved up into a smile.

Everything so far occurred in less than a fraction of a millisecond, and as this majestic attack swept at him, he summoned a red sword and slashed above his head.

”Slice!” He ordered.

RIP!!!

This slash cut through the air and smashed right into the crimson light.

BANG!

Sparks flew out, and rumbling sounds filled the world. The ground trembled, and the sky twisted in swirling moments.

ROAR

The bloody dark red snake gushed out and bit down on the sword slash. Its presence was that of an emperor, and it inspired both awe and fear, but when it bit down, the sword slashes crushed through its mouth!

There was nothing the dark red snake could do other than fade away!

The momentum of the attack didn’t slow down, and it slashed into the remaining crimson light. The light surged forward, trying to break the attack.

BOOOM!

The brutal collision turned into a powerful explosion. Detonating shockwaves swept out, so terrifying that they penetrated the fabrics of space and emerged directly into reality, destroying half of the throne hall.

Nix stood there, unable to believe her eyes.

Silence hung in the air for a while before she opened her mouth.

”Father, have you recovered all your strength?”
