Chapter 227: Turning Point in the Final Battle, Will the Girl Be Defeated?

With Su Nian’s strike descending from the heavens.

Little Green, seeing Su Nian coming to its rescue, erupted in fierce resistance as well.

Blades of azure wind and dragon breath spewed forth desperately, the massive dragon wings thrashing with all their might, trying to break free from those damned chains.

Not far away, Chu Tian, having successfully “pulled” Little Green in front of him as a possible “shield” and “pushed” Su Nian away, paused in slight astonishment.

He watched that petite figure, charging into danger without hesitation, a complicated emotion flashing through his eyes.

Then, the corner of his mouth curled into a knowing, almost mocking arc.

As expected.

This girl before him, at her core, was still just as he’d initially imagined… Kind, or perhaps, foolish.

Yet this very foolishness stirred some inexplicable agitation in a certain corner of his heart.

“Boom!”

“Rumble—!”

A person, a dragon, a terrifying knight, and Chu Tian, who was temporarily driven to the edge by the crisis of the “meteorite.”

In the final seconds before the sky-shrouding “Big Mountain” crashed down, all four erupted into even fiercer close-quarters combat in the narrow strip of land at the brink of annihilation!

Swordlight flashed, dragon roars shook the heavens, chains howled, demonic energy surged!

As the massive shadow of “Big Mountain” was about to completely engulf everything below, just a hundred meters from the ground!

On a distant rocky platform, the Purple Domain Spirit Cat, Little Violet, who had been maintaining the ultra-long-range Spatial Summoning Array, suddenly narrowed its pure, amethyst eyes.

It saw its master, Su Nian, once again deeply entrenched in the melee for the sake of saving Little Green—completely unable to withdraw in time together with it.

No!

If “Big Mountain” truly fell, even with some defense, Master and Little Green would undoubtedly suffer catastrophic damage!

A decision had to be made at once!

As “Big Mountain” continued to descend, its island-sized body generating gravity so intense at close range that even the pebbles in the valley started floating upward.

Eighty meters.

There was no more time to wait.

Little Violet saw its master still unable to escape atop Little Green, and two options flashed through its mind.

The first option.

Naturally, to summon the master, who hadn’t been locked by that man’s spatial power.

This way, victory could still be achieved, but Little Green would—

No hesitation!

“Meow—!!!”

The Purple Domain Spirit Cat let out a piercing, desperate screech, filled with unwavering resolve!

Little Violet chose the second option!

Its delicate, agile form suddenly burst forth with a brilliance of purple light more dazzling and intense than ever before, surpassing even its own limits.

All the magic power it had left was unleashed in a frenzy at this moment, recklessly, in a way that was almost self-destructive!

Reverse Summoning!

Buzz—!!!

A spacequake, deeper and heavier than any before, echoed throughout the gorge.

That sky-darkening, world-ending, colossal turtle form—Big Mountain—froze in place, mere dozens of meters from the ground.

On its enormous shell, space twisted violently, like a reflection cast onto rippling water.

Then, amid violent spatial ripples, it became transparent, illusory, like the most unreal of phantoms.

In the end, it was forcibly drawn back into the distant Contract Beast Space!

“Pfft—!”

Almost the very instant Big Mountain disappeared.

On the rocky platform, Little Violet coughed up a mouthful of blood streaked with flickers of purple light.

Its once lustrous, supple violet fur dulled at once, and it collapsed limply from the rock, crashing heavily onto the hard ground, its breath instantly withering to the extreme.

Even having grievously wounded itself, it would never… abandon its companions.

Master would do the same!

The amethyst-like eyes lost their former brilliance, all fighting strength fading away completely.

At the same time, the apocalyptic oppressive force overhead vanished in an instant.

The spatial interference and sealing that had made Chu Tian feel almost immobilized dissipated like smoke.

He finally let out a long breath.

Looks like he had won the gamble!

Though his original intent was to summon the giant dragon, forcing the Purple Domain Spirit Cat into a “Reverse Summoning.”

Su Nian’s reckless dash back to save the giant dragon had indeed startled him for a moment…

Fortunately, the outcome was favorable in the end.

Chu Tian’s gaze swept toward the distant rocky platform, where the once-glimmering purple furball now lay utterly listless on the ground.

To forcibly Reverse Summon such a massive Contract Beast, that little thing must surely be completely drained.

Excellent.

Now then—

The battle was two against two!

His newly created terrifying knight, Da Hei, was brandishing a chain burning with dark red runes, binding the previously mighty Wind Elemental Holy Dragon tightly to the ground, forcing it into futile struggle.

Victory’s scale was tipping in his favor.

Not only that.

The long-dormant Lover’s Prison Collar had previously absorbed a surge of Su Nian’s magic, and had been “digesting,” unable to assist him until now.

But after over an hour of battle—

The Lover’s Prison Collar sent forth a surge of pure, holy, even sweetly fragrant magic unique to a maiden, which now poured continuously from the icy [Lover’s Prison Collar] at Su Nian’s neck, flooding into all of his limbs and bones.

The influx of magic was so pleasurable it nearly made him moan aloud.

The magic he had completely exhausted in the fierce battles before was now replenishing and surging at a stunning speed.

All his fatigue vanished, replaced by an unprecedented strength and confidence.

He clenched his fists anew, feeling the raging tide of power within.

The arc at his lips grew even more wanton and cruel.

His gaze, like a venomous serpent toying with its prey, locked once more onto the nearly collapsing silver figure not far away.

“Thank you for the feast, my little Nian.”

Chu Tian’s deep voice was laced with a chilling, raspy mockery.

“Your magic… This master is very satisfied. Extremely satisfied.”

Su Nian’s delicate body shuddered violently!

She could feel it clearly—the sacred magic she’d painstakingly accumulated, as precious as life itself, was surging out like a breached dam, rushing madly through the cold, hard metal collar at her neck into the horned demon.

Bastard!

This shameless, despicable scoundrel.

Her power, her hope, her last reliance…

Had, at this very moment, become the nourishment of her greatest enemy!

The humiliation was unbearable.

And even more despairing—

Her carefully planned, desperate strike had completely failed.

Little Violet… in order to save her and Little Green, had exhausted all its magic, now weak and curled motionless atop a distant rock.

As for Big Mountain, since Little Violet had used “Reverse Summoning” in the end, it was actually an unstable, random spatial transmission.

Now, the Sea Island Giant Spirit Turtle Big Mountain had been sent to some remote, unknown ocean, the soul link between them so faint it was nearly severed.

She couldn’t even summon it to fight by her side—she couldn’t even use the most basic Spiritual Attachment for absolute defense.

Her chest heaved violently, every breath searing with tearing pain.

It’s over.

Was she about to lose to this damned horned demon again?
