Chapter 2032 So Too
Of the Truth Clones that remained, one suddenly flashed over to the side and fused into the Summoned Demon's body.
All of a sudden, its already oppressive aura reached a new stage, and Ryu was sent blasting backward with a single ripple of its wrists.
Ryu barely stabilized himself in the air hundreds of kilometers away as he watched an Ice Queen step out from the portal.
Her skin was an unhealthy sheen of whitish blue, or rather a sheen that would have been unhealthy on practically any other creature. However, her eyes... rather than being the usual blue, they carried sparkling shades of violet...
Ones that looked eerily reminiscent of Sarriel's eyes.
Ryu's eyes narrowed. He knew that this wasn't a normal matter by any stretch of the imagination, especially not when three more portals appeared and the three remaining clones fused into each of their bodies.
Each one of the Ice Queens managed to gain Sarriel's violet eyes.
Each of them swiped at the air, causing a long katana of white-blue ice to appear in their fair and delicate palms. The crowns above their heads shimmered as Sarriel stood casually behind them, her own eyes glowing for a moment before they dimmed. Ryu knew that Sarriel had cast a skill with her eyes just now, but he didn't know exactly what it was until the four Ice Queens moved.
Each one of their auras was in the Lord Realm, and when they moved, vicious winds rippled around them.
One suddenly appeared behind Ryu, almost catching him off guard. It was like it had phased through his senses entirely.
That was when Ryu understood.
The four Ice Queens formed a Domain of Ice, forcefully changing every qi in the surroundings to suit their element. As Ice Queens, they were formed entirely from the Ice Element as well, meaning if the four worked together to create a Domain like this, they could instantly shift anywhere within it.
It was essentially an advanced application of Spirit Body.
However...
Ryu, who was prepared for a slash to his back, felt a sudden spike of pain.
His gaze flashed, and he looked down to find a wound eerily similar to the one he had given Blue Moon. No, it wasn't just eerily similar, it was completely identical in every way, shape, and form, even down to the Darkness Qi rampaging through his body right now despite the fact that the Ice Queens should have only been using Ice Qi. It seemed that on top of using this Domain of Ice, they were also able to use Sarriel's illusion and reality abilities to add yet another layer of confusion.
However, when Ryu saw the wound cutting into his shoulder, through his heart, and out of his hip, his grin became even more demonic.
"Your chest didn't feel too bad in my palm, handsome. I think I might touch it again..."
She vanished, her body swaying through the air.
She appeared before Ryu, her palm striking the exact same place it had before.
Ryu's body bent into a curve, being sent flying through the air.
Sarriel appeared high above Ryu's flying form, ready to strike out again.
But at that moment, Ryu's wings flapped, sending a whirlwind of air pressure toward her. The power of the upward thrust was so great that the vacuum that formed behind him sucked up the ground, sending shards of earth scattering upward.
Sarriel's eyes only blinked, watery and misted over with lust.
Somehow, she phased through it all, pressing a palm to Ryu's chest again.
**BANG!**
Ryu's trajectory changed. From moving horizontally to the ground, he was blown downward and through it.
Sarriel vanished once more, appearing on the edge of the crater Ryu was in.
The lust in her eyes faded, replaced by a murderous light. She raised her hand to her
lips, tasting Ryu's blood and shuddering with pleasure.
Every time her personality fluctuated, her soul's strength seemed to take another
enormous bound forward.
And as her soul strengthened...
So too did her eyes.
