Lust Knight

Chapter 497 A Brutal Boss

Valencia sighs as she looks at the mysterious and exotic woman. "Kamala... the plan seemed perfect. We knew where the girl was, and I sent my best captain and fastest ship. Whatever happened, it was really serious...."

Kamala, the Naga, looks at Valencia with an inquisitive expression. "What are you hinting?"

"I'm not sure, but…" She hesitates but continues. "Maybe someone found out about our alliance. What if whoever interfered with our plan is a being much more powerful than we can imagine? That ship of mine is faster than someone from the Peak Immortal Realm, so..."

"Bullshit!" Kamala exclaims and breaks another glass of wine. "I came here through the deep part of the ocean, and you said your servants are trustworthy, so there's no way those damn whores could find out about it."

"I'm not talking about the mermaids…" Valencia explains. "Maybe it's an enemy we don't know yet; I'm just saying we have to be prepared for anything. Maybe you can bring your guards here..."

"What?! You can't be serious..." Kamala looks upset and disappointed. "You said that in this area, you are the Boss. I can't believe you now want the protection of my people like a hurt animal."

Valencia cannot contain her upset expression. "I only got this far thanks to my instincts, and now somehow, I know something is wrong, very wrong... I don't know what that means yet, but a storm is approaching..."

"There is no storm, only your failure." Kamala drinks another glass of wine and then looks into Valencia's eyes. "Find the girl, or our deal is over."

"You could give me her mother for me to use as bait." She suggests with a pleading expression.

"Humph!" Kamala makes a humming sound. "You already have your orders, and it's good to you not to fail with my people... we are not merciful."

"But-" Valencia tries to argue more, but Kamala dives into the pool, disappearing into the dark water.

She sighs and exits the large bathroom with heavy steps. She passes the hall guards like a raging hurricane, and they all tremble in fear.

"Holy shit..." A guard quietly comments to his friend five minutes after Valencia walks past them. "Boss looks really upset today."

The other guard is in a cold sweat as he fears pissing himself out of fear. "Don't say anything else! You know what happens when Boss is upset... and you don't want to be the one to serve her tonight."

The first guard also breaks out in a cold sweat. "So are the rumors really true? I mean, is that as bad as it sounds?"

"Much worse than you can imagine..." The second guard feels like crying just remembering. "I have no idea what kind of thing she does to them, but I threw in the remains of the last man who slept with Boss in her bad day into the sea..."

While the first guard gets more scared, the second continues explaining. "There wasn't a whole part of him, just bloody pieces... Honestly, I think him dying was the best thing that happened to him in the end, as he wouldn't be able to continue living after that."

"..." The first guard is silent as he begins to pray to all the entities he knows not to be the man to serve Valencia next time, or rather, he now wishes to be the ugliest and most disgusting creature in the world ever not to end up in her bedroom.

While all of Valencia's castle guards fear the same terrible end, she finally arrives in one of the deepest rooms in the dungeon. That room is actually in the deepest part of the island, much below the sea surface.

*Bam* *Smash*

The door to the room, a large laboratory, bangs against the wall as Valencia walks in, still looking really upset. The only person in that room, a small man who looks young despite being over a thousand years old, is startled and drops some glass vials on the floor.

"BOSS!!" The guy quickly exclaims while shaking in fear.

"Damn you, Alonzo!" Valencia complains as she stares at the glistening liquid dripping from the broken vials on the floor. "You are really clumsy."

"B-b-b-oss..." He starts to stutter as he tries to catch the shiny liquid off the floor with other vials. "I-I-I wasn't e-expecting B-eboss's visit today..."

Valencia smiles as she sees another yellow liquid running down Alonzo's legs. She approaches him, hugs him, and starts stroking his head. "Oh, my sweetheart... I didn't mean to be so rude to you."

"Y-you weren't r-rude…" He continues to shake; in fact, he looks even more scared now. "You're never rude, but always kind... I love you so much, you know..."

"Hahaha..." She starts to laugh. Seeing the poor Alonzo piss himself in fear as he says he loves her really interests her. "Of course I'm kind to you; after all, you are my most loyal servant, darling."

"..." Alonzo doesn't say anything because he's really scared. He just stands there, trembling in her arms, like a rabbit forced to serve a wolf that devours him piece by piece.

Valencia sighs. "I needed this, Alonzo... My day has been really bad. Carmelo is missing, and that bitch Naga doesn't realize that maybe we're in real trouble."

"Carmelo hasn't come back?" He makes a shocked expression. "But your plan was perfect, Boss. "Carmelo's last message was that he was coming back with the girl, and no one should be able to reach the Sea Devil."

"You're right..." Valencia smiles and kisses Alonzo's forehead. "Even though we had help from the Naga with that, the brilliant mind behind the Sea Devil project was you, my dear smart boy."

Alonzo struggles to smile, but he still trembles with fear, which amuses Valencia even more. "That's really worrying, Boss. Even that old woman shouldn't be faster than the Sea Devil, so maybe our enemy is even more powerful..."

Valencia Nods. "Exactly. And that's why I came here. I need you to work faster with these magic nets..."

Alonzo looks at one of the magic nets on a table beside them. That net is identical to the net Carmelo used to trap Kayla. And that's one of Alonzo's other brilliant inventions. In fact, that magic net is the reason Valencia hasn't gotten tired of him yet, so he's very grateful to his brilliant mind for that.

"I'm doing the best I can, Boss..." He talks in a concerned tone. "But without a Cosmic Realm guinea pig, I have no way of knowing if the magic net works on such powerful people."

"I see..." Her eyes sparkle. "That's why I need this alliance to works... Once we're sure no one can escape our magic nets, we'll rule all the five seas, and those damned Nagas will be our slaves!"

"Everything will be alright, Boss..." Alonzo tries to calm Valencia down. "There is no smarter woman in this world than you, and no one else deserves to rule it alone."

"Hehehe..." She giggles ominously. "You know how to please... Now get back to work."

She stops hugging him and walks to the door. "You must keep working that hard, or you will have to serve me otherwise..."

"..." Alonzo shivers even more as the floor beneath his feet is already a mess of smelly liquids.

Only after Valencia leaves the laboratory does he begin to calm down. But then he quickly gets to work, after cleaning up that mess, of course.

--------------------------------

Thousands of miles southeast of the Black Sea Riders Island, a red figure flies through the sky.

Well, flying isn't quite what's happening to that person; rather, his body was thrown so hard by a powerful blow that he struggles to regain control over it.

It's Lucien, of course. He finally manages to flap his wings enough to regain control of his body in the air, but then the Leviathan comes out of the sea and hits him again with her tail.

*BAM* *BOOOM*

He is thrown into the sea, creating a water exploration.

In the water, Lucien manages to regain control of his body faster. Then he summons from Golden Naginata and flaps his wings, swimming at super speed towards the Leviathan.

"Come on, little dragon!" The Leviathan's voice echoes within the water, ignoring even the basic physics laws. "Give your best!"

[You don't have to ask.] Lucien thinks to himself as he still doesn't know how to talk underwater.

The Leviathan attacks with her tail as he points the golden naginata in her direction. They've been fighting for two days and have already made moves like those many times.

He is usually thrown backward without being able to injure the creature's super-hard skin, but this time something different happens. The golden glow of the naginata gets even more intense, illuminating everything in the water within a radius of a mile.

That golden glow motivates Lucien, growing super confidence that comes from within the soul, not from his soul, but Aylin's, within the naginata.

He feels power waves running through his body, not the usual kind, but the kind he feels when holding the golden naginata in his hands.

He knows that is Aylin's power, and as he expected, he finds himself in front of the Golden Gate inside the naginata. He feels like being in two places at the same time. He's still attacking the Leviathan, but he's also in front of the big golden gate.

Lucien lets all that power coming from the naginata come into his body e soul, and a strange desire appears in his heart, the urge to roar.

As someone who makes a war cry in combat, Lucien opens his mouth into the sea, and a powerful sound wave comes from inside him, pushing away all the water around, giving him free space to attack the Leviathan with all his strength.

"*ROOOARRRR*" His war cry sounds like the mighty roar of a dragon, but it also sounds to be made by two voices, one his own and the other a female voice that the Leviathan recognizes from her worst nightmares.

[How is this possible?!?!?] The creature wonders as she fails to stop her attack.

The tip of the golden naginata touches her tail's skin, and at that moment, Lucien is also roaring at the golden gate, which opens, taking him to another part of Aylin's memories.

--------------------------------

"My Queen..." Lucien recognizes the voice of Garen's son.

Aylin sighs. "Alright, let's meet them."

She walks towards the throne room of her castle while Garen and his son follow her. They pass for a few corridors before arriving in front of big doors.

"We should try to be polite, my Queen..." Garen's son respectfully suggests, and he also nods.

"I'll try, but I'm not guaranteeing anything..." Aylin smiles as she somehow knows that her guests will provoke her, and she won't be able to keep polite.

She waves to the guards beside the big doors, and they open them. Aylin sees some winged dragons inside the throne room, and one of them, a handsome young man with an arrogant expression, smiles at her as he sits on his throne.

"Oh! MY Queen has finally arrived..." That arrogant dragon speaks in a suggestive tone, especially when he says 'MY' in a very possessive way.

Aylin feels the urge to kill that man, just as Lucien feels inside her.

"Forget about being polite..." She comments out loud. "I'm going to kill this bastard!!"
