Resolute determination flashed through the sky-blue eyes of Su Nian, carrying a hint of near-madness!
Since this damned collar brought her that unbearable, shameful pleasure by draining her magic power—
‘Then so be it, take it all!’
She actually took the initiative to throw open her magical reserves, allowing that surging energy to pour toward the Lover’s Prison Collar at her neck like a floodgate had burst!
“Mmm—!”
An enormous surge of magic instantly rushed forth, slamming into the collar and into her very nerves.
Su Nian’s delicate body trembled violently, her vision suddenly going black as her fair neck arched back and her eyes involuntarily rolled up, consciousness slipping away for a moment.
It was a sensation of being utterly drained, mixed with the collar’s bizarre stimulation, nearly driving her to collapse.
However, it lasted only a brief instant.
When the last trace of magic was greedily devoured by the collar, that tingling pleasure that had driven her nearly mad truly weakened a great deal.
Su Nian snapped back to her senses, panting heavily, sweat soaking the wisps of hair on her forehead, clinging to her snowy skin.
Kneeling on the ground, the dazed and scattered look in the girl’s eyes reformed into one of unwavering determination.
Without magic, she still had the Holy Knight Physique!
She still had the Saint Radiance Knight Armor (Female)!
She still had the absolute defense bestowed by Big Mountain!
She could still win!
“Haa…” A low, heavy breath escaped her throat, laden with endless rage and unyielding will.
A faint golden halo, full of divinity and power, suddenly burst from within her, instantly enveloping the silver-white Saint Radiance Knight Armor (Female) she wore!
The sacred runes on her armor seemed to activate, glowing with visible light.
Su Nian jerked her head up; her sky-blue eyes now burned with inextinguishable flames, locked tightly on Chu Tian in the distance.
She slowly rose from the ground, every movement ringing out with the weighty sound of metal plates scraping.
Her figure, once agile and graceful thanks to abundant magic, was now charged with pure, explosive physical power.
“Boom!”
Su Nian’s legs exploded with force, the black rock floor beneath her feet shattered with a crack, shards scattering everywhere!
Her entire form shot forward like a fired cannonball—no, more like a lioness awakened, carrying a wild, unstoppable momentum as she charged head-on into the several black energy arrows Chu Tian flung out carelessly!
Those dark energies, strong enough to corrode ordinary magic shields, slammed into her Saint Radiance Knight Armor (Female), but were barely blocked and weakened by the flowing golden halo and deeper, earth-yellow ripples of energy.
They still struck with impact and shock—but could not slow her in the slightest!
In that instant, her fighting style shifted completely, from the graceful fluidity of combining magic, to a wild, direct, brutally forceful assault brimming with primal power and deadly oppression!
The longsword in her hand, once condensed from the element of light, had already dissipated.
In its place, she had somehow drawn from the Beast Nest Space a heavy, coldly gleaming steel sword!
The blade was thick, flashing with a sharp, frosty brilliance.
“Clang—!”
Infused with all the power of her Holy Knight Physique, the steel sword screamed as it tore through the air, slashing hard at the hasty dark energy shield Chu Tian conjured!
The harsh clash of metal and energy echoed through the canyon, shaking the very eardrums!
Sparks flew everywhere!
This sudden, wild change of tempo and ferocious onslaught finally made the mocking smile on Chu Tian’s face stiffen for the first time.
Deep in his eyes, a trace of genuine astonishment flashed by.
This woman… her magic has basically been drained, yet she can still erupt with such terrifying physical strength and fighting will?
Su Nian’s relentless close-quarters assault unquestionably created a once-in-a-lifetime, perfect opportunity for her Contract Beasts!
“Roar—!”
Above, the Wind Elemental Holy Dragon Little Green let out a thunderous, furious roar, diving once more.
In the air, the Purple Domain Spirit Cat Little Violet’s petite form flashed amid lightning and spatial ripples, unleashing deadly Lightning Chains and Spatial Rift Blades from all sorts of cunning, unpredictable angles, sealing off Chu Tian’s avenues of escape in concert with Little Green’s attack!
The battle entered an unimaginable state of white-hot intensity once more!
At this moment, Su Nian was like a tireless, unfeeling goddess of war.
Relying on the terrifying burst, endurance, and regeneration brought by the Holy Knight Physique, along with the double-layered defense of the Saint Radiance Knight Armor (Female) and Big Mountain’s “possession”—
And with that wild determination not to rest until her foe lay dead at her feet, she truly faced Chu Tian with an almost unreasonable, reckless desperation!
Her sword strikes were broad and open, without the slightest flourish.
Every blow carried her full strength and fury, aimed straight at Chu Tian’s vital points!
It was almost trading wound for wound, life for life!
The dark energies unleashed by Chu Tian corroded her armor, and lightning sought to numb her body, but the Holy Light of her armor and the Earth Element Energy of Big Mountain’s possession offset most of it layer by layer.
The only real threat to Su Nian came from his attacks infused with the power of space.
A silent Dimension Blade sliced by, leaving a gash in Su Nian’s arm guard.
“Ugh!”
Su Nian grunted in pain, her brows tightly knit, but her assault did not slow in the slightest—if anything, it grew fiercer!
The wound began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye!
This was the powerful regeneration innate to the Holy Knight Physique.
As she swung her steel sword in a frenzy, never leaving Chu Tian’s vital points, entangling him tightly, she roared with all her might, her voice stifled by endless humiliation and anger: “Bastard Horned Demon! Even if you use this damned collar to torment me! Even if you steal away my magic power!”
“I will still kill you!!!”
Her body was still afflicted by various statuses.
Especially the Submissive Physique—each time she was struck by the Horned Demon’s space magic, that strange, shameful sensation nearly drove her mad and still clung to her like a leech.
But at least, her movements were no longer so severely hindered as before!
The immense power of the Holy Knight Physique and her indomitable fighting will allowed her, for the time being, to suppress the negative effects tormenting her body and mind.
At the same time—
Chu Tian gazed at the blood-soaked girl before him (though her wounds healed rapidly), her silver-white armor stained with dirt and burn marks from energy, her hair disheveled—yet her fighting spirit soared.
He watched as the girl, suffering indescribable pain and bone-deep humiliation from the collar, still managed to erupt with such astonishing willpower and fighting strength, such unwavering resolve.
The fury and surprise in Chu Tian’s eyes unconsciously, like snow melting away, were gradually replaced deep within by something even more complex and searing—a fierce, almost twisted passion of conquest and affection.
“How interesting…”
He chuckled low in his throat, a hoarse sound full of an excitement impossible to describe.
“Truly interesting…hahaha!”
“That wild, unyielding look…”
“Those eyes refusing to admit defeat, fighting with everything she’s got…”
Chu Tian extended his tongue, gently licking his cracked lips, his eyes glinting with dangerous, fanatical light.
“Only this is worthy of being my woman!”
“Come, little wildcat, show me how many more surprises you can give your master!”
