nWith one wave, an oily black mass attached itself to the scarlet energy that was rotting the Ultimate Ice’s branches.

nThe black oily mass countered the Mother of Bloodbath’s blood energy. It also weaved together the hole in the Ultimate Ice’s branches and effectively slowed the rate of rotting.

nDespite having negated the Mother of Bloodbath’s energy, the Ultimate Ice would continue to wither from the hole outward without its tree core.

nThe black-cloaked person spoke with a deep and grating voice.

n“By attacking the Zheng family’s third lineage, you have offended the Zheng family. You shall pay for your actions with your life.”

nThe Mother of Bloodbath kept the Ultimate Ice’s tree core in the red crystal cluster Diamond fey storage box hanging off its ear.

nIts tone and attitude remained playful.

n“Don’t hide behind the mask. I smelled the stench of a bat-species fey on you from the start.”

nAlthough its tone was impish, its expression was completely serious.

nThe scarlet glow in its hand flashed. The light streaked toward where Lin Yuan’s group was standing and separated to form four crimson crystal spiders.

nLin Yuan knew that the Mother of Bloodbath was using its Gold ability, Spider Incubation, to protect him and the rest.

nFour shields in the shape of the Mother of Bloodbath’s back armor covered the Lava Dragon Lizard’s Lava Shield.

nWhen the Mother of Bloodbath’s armor-shaped shield engulfed the Lava Shield, Lin Yuan felt the crushing barrier restricted outside.

nThe shield’s interior felt as though it had been sanitized.

nAt the same time that it launched the crimson crystal spiders, the Mother of Bloodbath’s body was suddenly awash with a blinding scarlet light.

nBlood Law Runes appeared and released their maximum power.

nThe initially calm sea simultaneously transformed into sticky coagulation of blood that extended endlessly.

nA ferocious red spider, the size of a small mountain, appeared at the spot previously occupied by the Mother of Bloodbath.

nThe spider was swathed in blood energy. Other than its back, its entire body was covered with a terrifying fur of stingers.

nThe stingers gleamed shocking red.

nThe moment that the Mother of Bloodbath transformed, it charged toward the man in black.

nNightmare VI morphed into a plume of black smoke at the same time that the Mother of Bloodbath charged at him, deftly dodging her attack.

nThe Mother of Bloodbath was unfazed, and it immediately changed directions.

nTwo scarlet stinger-covered spider legs raised and stabbed, penetrating the still weak Ultimate Ice.

nAbout two meters long each, two gashes were left on the branches of the already helpless Ultimate Ice.

nThe gashes almost sliced the Ultimate Ice’s branches into thirds.

nAt that moment, Nightmare VI, which had transformed into black smoke, appeared behind the Mother of Bloodbath.

nNightmare VI transformed from human form into an enormous black bat. Its obsidian body was lined with metal.

nThe bat flapped its wings, sweeping up mounds of grey dust.

nThe roiling dust was thick, obscuring the vision of the people present. It seemed to transport them to a whole other world.

nThe enormous bat crossed its wings, forming hooks, and slashed down toward the weak spot of the Mother of Bloodbath’s spider body.

nThe grating voice exclaimed, “Dead Dream Law, Devour Dream Hook.”

nThe Mother of Bloodbath anticipated the attack and leaped into the air.

nThe eye that grew on the Mother of Bloodbath’s back armor had noticed Nightmare VI’s movements early on and had formed a strategy to counter Nightmare VI’s abilities using All-Seeing Eye.

nNevertheless, Nightmare VI’s two soul eater hooks were too quick and managed to land a blow on one of the Mother of Bloodbath’s legs.

nThe attack was inflicted on the Mother of Bloodbath while it was leaping into the air.

nThe Mother of Bloodbath’s strange yet pleasant voice shrieked viciously. “Blood Law, Blood Control!”

nThe Mother of Bloodbath’s Blood Control ability could manipulate the enemy’s movements through controlling their blood.

nAlthough both Nightmare VI and the Mother of Bloodbath were Myth II feys, Nightmare VI’s power was at the peak of Myth II.

nAs such, the Mother of Bloodbath could not control Nightmare VI for long.

nNonetheless, that short window was enough.

nWhile Blood Control was manipulating Nightmare VI’s body, three light purple flower buds the size of small balls appeared behind it.

nThe purple flowers bloomed and shed, transforming into a rain of purple petals.

nOne flower petal elongated to become a light-purple spear.

nAfter the transformation of the first petal, the rest of the petals swiftly followed, each one of them turning into light-purple spears.

nWhen Listen caught sight of the razor-sharp light-purple spears, he immediately recognized them. They were the same ones that had slain the king-class experts that had tried to assassinate him in the Royal Capital.

nA gentle and caring voice cried out. “Shooting Spears of Summer, Three Thousand Spears of Summer!”

nThe Three Thousand Spears of Summer sailed through the air, and half of them embedded themselves in the enormous bat.

nNightmare VI’s metal back burst open at the point of contact, and a fountain of inky blood gushed out.

nUnfortunately, the spears did not manage to fully penetrate Nightmare VI’s body. They merely punctured it.

nBy the time the other half of the spears were flying toward the giant bat, Nightmare VI had already escaped the Mother of Bloodbath’s Blood Control.

nNightmare VI morphed into a cloud of smoke and resumed its human form. Its once pristine black cloak was now tattered and torn. Its features were twisted into a sinister expression.

nIts eyes turned into slits, and only the whites could be seen. Its skin had an unhealthy ashy color, and two sharp incisors grew out of the corners of its mouth.

nNightmare VI spat out a mass of black blood before its grave voice carried threatening undertones.

n“Do you know the consequences of opposing the Zheng family?”

nThe rain of light-purple petals continued to dance in the wind as Endless Summer appeared next to Lin Yuan.

nIt noticed the human manifestation of the Mother of Bloodbath standing nearby. Despite its relaxed expression, its leg had completely deformed.

nEndless Summer studied the Mother of Bloodbath’s deformed leg for a while, its brow furrowing tighter and tighter.

nIts kind gaze was laced with ferocity as it fixed its eyes on Nightmare VI.

n“Another dark-type fey. I sure am fated with dark-type feys,” said Endless Summer.

n“Since the Zheng family has sent out assassins, it means that you’re aware of the consequences of making enemies of Sky City.”

nEndless Summer’s eyes landed on the Mother of Bloodbath.

n“Leave this Dream-Eating Bat to me. You take care of that old man and the two stalks of chives.”

nEndless Summer snapped its fingers, and runes swirled around its fingertips as it whispered, “Older Sister can!”

nThe Mother of Bloodbath snapped to attention at its words.

n“Younger Sister can too!”

nLin Yuan rubbed his forehead.

nIs this really how Older Sister and Younger Sister Can should be used!?
