Chapter 163 Arrival
"My own good? Don't joke around, let me go!" Nimona exerted her full strength to break off this vine that was binding her, but to no avail.
This surprised Nimona very much, as how could others cut and destroy Roy's tree roots so easily, and why couldn't she? 'How can this be!?'
"My queen, I poured every single bit of my strength into making that vine. I know you will try to resist, forgive me." Roy had already come before her, and he answered the doubt that he could see on her face.
Nimona glared at Roy and said with a doubt. "What is your goal? I have never seen anyone betray the spell we cast. How did you do it? Wait... or you are just fully devoted to me, then you will complete the task ordered by me through drastic lengths!?"
Roy caressed Nimona's face with his intact, right hand and then grabbed the back of her neck.
"What are you doing?" Nimona asked with bewilderment, still not understanding what Roy wanted to do.
"My queen, I am just borrowing your power." Just as Roy finished saying that, he pushed Nimona's head to his and connected their lips.
Nimona's eyes widened in shock by Roy's sudden action. She wanted to move her head away, but Roy had locked it tightly. At that moment, Roy had pried open Nimona's mouth, making her flush.
However, what happened next shocked Nimona into dumbfoundedness. She felt her life force being sucked away from her body and flowing out of her mouth, eventually entering Roy's body.
Roy's body started to turn, while Nimona's body was the complete opposite, becoming much paler.
The wooden parts on Roy's right started peeling off slowly, and his cutaway body parts started growing back. Others who were far away didn't know why, but they felt Roy had become a bit stronger.
On the other hand, Nimona's skin got a bit wrinkled, and her body was full of sweat. She was having rough breathing, and blood was trickling out of the corner of her lips.
At that moment, Roy had his body fully recovered, totally new as previous time. He looked down at the people who were watching him with horror, and the sound of crying was coming because of the death of Bac.
"A weakling daring to declare himself king of the queen, the sheer courage and audacity. I will demolish this whole town to pieces." With a declaration filled with anger, Roy prepared for a wide range. highly damaging attack.
The people down there tensed up and didn't know what to do. The only one who could combat Roy was Vik, who was now slumped to the ground, trying to recover.
Fiona was trying to help Vik quickly, and that's when she heard him saying, softly. "I guess I still wasn't strong enough to destroy my adversary."
"You are." Fiona said while healing him. "You are the strongest person I have seen in many years, and you have the potential to go even beyond."
"Hehe," Vik gave a slight chuckle to himself then said. "That doesn't matter, I wasn't able to save everyone. We all have to die now."
"Now, we won't." Fiona's firm response took Vik aback. He wasn't expecting such optimism from her in such a situation.
Vik asked her about the doubts in his mind. "Why do you think so?"
Fiona looked at Vik's face and said with a big smile. "Because he will co-"
She halted in her sentence and looked at the direction, and so did the others along with her. They were not looking at Roy but were trying to peek out of the wall.
Vik also looked along with everyone, he said with his eyes widened."What is this dreadful aura? Full of malice! Don't tell me more is coming."
No one was able to answer his question, as they were as confused as him. But not Fiona, Jasmine, Julie, and Kaley. They instantly recognized this aura despite being foreign.
"He is here." Fiona said with a smile on his face.
"Who?" Vik asked Fiona eagerly.
Fiona looked down at Vik and said with a big smile on her face. "My husband."
...
Roy glanced at the distance, where he could sea of blood washing in his direction.
Nimona slowly turned her weak head and saw what was coming, which made her heart beat rapidly. She exclaimed softly. "What is that thing!?"
Squinting his eyes, Roy could see a boy, surfing on the blood.
The boy had red hair and a black cloak on his body, which didn't hide his face. He had the appearance of an immortal and a striking, slight smile on his face that could capture any maiden's heart.
He was none other than Gale, who had finished absorbing all the blood essence on the battlefield.

[ Remarks: Host, you have grown too strong in a short period of time. I suggest you use this strength on someone to consolidate your cultivation. ]
Gale had made exponential progress, absorbing tons of blood essence. He started from the end of the horde and came slowly to the beginning, where most of them were defending. When he arrived there, he didn't find anyone, so he became skeptical and used his spiritual sense to check where they might be.
Gale was surprised to find them inside the town, and the situation didn't seem too good. So, he rushed here as fast as possible.
Gale looked at two people he could see on the wall and used 'Inspection' immediately.
[ Nimona (Third Stage Nascent Soul Realm): The daughter of a prominent queen in her Hypnotic Bee Clan. She ran away from her home to start a giant kingdom of her own but later got stopped by Daoist Free. Fortunately, she survived and built her army again to capture strong cultivators. So she changed an entire area of the forest with her honey and finally invaded this place. However, she is currently under the control of her own slave. ]
'Slave huh...' Gale gave a thoughtful look at Nimona, who was held tightly by vines. Shifting his focus to the side, he saw a man with whom he was very familiar.
[ Roy Magac (Fifth Stage Nascent Soul Realm): Surprisingly, he got pierced by Nimona's stinger, which can instantly make anyone under her control. He is fully devoted to Nimona, and his devotion and loyalty reached a point where he would do anything to complete her task, even if it meant he had to use her. He is currently thinking of razing this entire town to the ground. ]
'Heh?' Gale was genuinely surprised now, as he didn't expect this guy to get ambushed like that, and from the fear he could sense in the town's people and all the destruction, with the help of his spiritual sense, he could assume this guy was strong.
'Now, it explains why they were on the losing side.' Gale was just a hundred meters away from the wall, looking at Roy. 'I guess, I should change the situation now then. A small revenge for hurting my girls.'
Gale raised his right hand up in the air, and above his hand, the blood under him started to gather, forming into a giant, 20 meter lance.
Roy's eyes widened, and he immediately attacked Gale with his tree roots.
"Futile." Saying softly, Gale swiped his right hand down, and the lance over him shot toward Roy at an extreme speed.
The moment, the blood lance clashed against the tree roots, it instantly destroyed them upon contact.
Bang
The lance pierced through the wooden wall made by Roy to defend himself, eventually hitting against his fist, making a loud explosion on top of the wall.
BANG
The wall broke into pieces, letting people have a hard time seeing the results.
But that didn't stop Gale as he leaped into the sky and crashed into the demolished wall.
Bang! nove/LB-In
Gale's feet landed on Roy's face, who was about to stand up from the ground, making his body slump on the ground again and his head dig into the ground.
"Your loyalty truly amazes me, you are still trying to think of saving your queen despite being on the losing side." Gale mocked and teased Roy, riling up his heart.
...
"Is that your husband?" Vik asked, looking at Gale stomping his feet on Roy with a heavy grin on his face.
"Yes," Fiona nodded her head proudly.
"Why does it look like he is the bad guy?" Vik said with a forced smile on his face. The lines that Gale said and how he was behaving not only made Vik think that but others too.
"Uhh," Fiona got a bit embarrassed then answered. "I heard he becomes like that when he fights others."
