BOOOOM!
The room where Anna had been locked away exploded, sending debris flying and dust swirling in the air.
Alexander and Elizabeth quickly took to the air, to avoid the shockwaves.
As the smoke began to clear, they were met with a shocking sight.
What had once been a solid building now looked like a massive flower.
"What''s is that thing ?" Alexander asked
The petals appeared like see-through sheets of blood, while sharp ck thorns jutted out from the stem, making the flower look even more dangerous.
"Alexander, this isn''t good. She reached Demon Lord status too quickly, and her body can''t handle all that power. If we don''t stop her, she could explode and destroy the whole city!"
"Demon Lord?" He was clearly shocked by the revtion.
It was a status that had taken him decades to achieve, and now his sister was iming that Anna had jumped multiple levels just like that.
But no matter how he looked at it, he could sense that Anna had really transcended.
"We need to stop this now. Let''sbine our domains to limit the damage to the city!" she ordered.
If three Demon Lords fought, the shock-waves could easily reduce everything to ruin ,making domains essential for high-levelbat
She wasn''t afraid of losing . But just in case the flower exploded unexpectedly, using two domains to contain it would lower the risk
Sensing the urgency in her voice, Alexander nodded.
"DOMAIN!"
"DOMAIN!"
Both of them activated their powers, and suddenly, the entire scene shifted.
A dark dome enveloped the area, surrounding the tower and the giant rose. It looked like a heavy curtain had dropped, blocking out the outside world.
Once everything was covered, the entire environment began to shift as their domainsbined and blended together.
Red lilies sprouted everywhere, their vibrant petals glowing against the dark surroundings.
Above them, two glowing red half moons hung in the sky, casting an eerie light over thendscape.
This was the siblings'' Unison Domain, a powerfulbination of their abilities that was only possible because their powers were aligned and resonated with each other.
"Be careful... Don''t hurt her too much," Alexander warned, his voice filled with concern.
Elizabeth nced at her brother and smiled .
"So this is what happens when you fall in love," she teased, finding his protectiveness both cute and amusing.
"You''repletely right. I love her!" Alexander dered, catching her off guard.
She had expected him to deny it, but his serious expression told her otherwise. This was the same man who had hundreds of women in his fingertips.
"You''re maturing," she said, nodding with satisfaction.
Suddenly, the petals shook slightly, and slowly started to open up, showing Anna in the middle of it.
It gave off a sweet but strange smell that filled the air around them.
"Just be ready," Elizabeth warned, her eyes narrowing in focus.
The energy inside her began to surge, and red power aura from every pore of her body.
The intensity of it was so strong that, for a moment, it outshone the giant red rose .
But she wasn''t done yet.
Below her, the red lilies began to swirl and orbit around her.
As the small petals wrapped around her, Elizabeth''s battle armor took shape, covering her breast and thigh area while leaving her belly exposed.
Then she raised her hands, and the red lilies surrounding them started to shift.
They twisted and intertwined until they solidified, forming a massive scythe.
It was longer than her entire body, with sharp, gleaming edges and intricate patterns that matched the designs of her armor.
Next, two red bat wings formed from her back.
Unlike thin, delicate wings, these were thick and metallic.
"So this is your true power," Alexander mused aloud. It wasn''t every day that she revealed this form to him.
"Alexander, I want you to let me handle this," Elizabeth dered, her voice firm andmanding.
"You''ve been disappointed with how I rule, thinking I''m a weak leader... But now, let me show my power!" Her tone was no longer gentle but confident and authoritative—a far cry from her usual self.
SWOOOSH!
Without waiting for his response, she vanished in an instant, reappearing just above the giant rose.
The moment she got close, it reacted violently.
It shook, and tens of thousands of blood-red tendrils shot out from its center, rushing toward her to block her path.
SWOOOSH!
SWOOOSH!
SWOOOSH!
The tendrils moved so fast that they were almost impossible to see. Each one was very thin, cutting through the air likesers.
But Elizabeth was no ordinary Demon Lord. Her battle instincts were among the best in her rank.
Her wings vanished, and she started to free-fall, spinning her scythe with a grace that made her look like she was dancing through the air.
As she focused, everything slowed down around her.
Her pupils darted back and forth , calcting the speed and trajectory of each attack.
She quickly identified the best way to deal with them and began to put her n into action.
CLANG!
CLANG!
CLANG!
A rapid series of sharp sounds echoed as she effortlessly deflected and dodged each tendril.
Her free fall also allowed her to close the gap between her and Anna in no time.
THUD!
Shended on top of Anna and embedded the tip of her scythe into her chest.
"Sleep for now,"
The red lilies began to flow into Anna''s body, their petals glowing faintly.
But Elizabeth sensed something was off. There was a barrier blocking her power, preventing her from fully reaching Anna''s heart.
''I need to find out what''s causing her emotions to be unstable,''
She closed her eyes and focused, activating one of her special abilities.
This power let her dive into others'' emotions, aiming to find the root of the turmoil threatening to consume Anna.
"Wait! What is this?" Elizabeth gasped, sensing something was off.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
But it was toote. Anna''s own emotions surged like a tidal wave, invading her heart instead.
''He''s the only one for me,''
Those words echoed in Elizabeth''s mind repeatedly.
