White Wave Chamber of Commerce.
Vincent looked at the short slip of paper in his hand, then turned his gaze to the subordinate who had handed it in. He said expressionlessly.
“Is this really from that woman called Einfel?”
“Yes, boss…”
The messenger lowered his head.
Vincent’s gaze returned to the slip of paper.
The content was very simple, just a single sentence.
“Don’t have nightmares~”
‘What does this mean?’
Vincent was very confused. ‘What is this woman plotting?’
But he didn’t want to find out. They had the backing of the Three Kings’ power. There was no way the Lily of the Valley Chamber of Commerce could turn things around without help from the Zephyr Empire.
Now he, this water ghost, only needed to wait for the storm to capsize the Lily of the Valley’s big ship, and then devour those who fell overboard.
Vincent gripped the slip of paper in his hand and clenched his fist tightly.
After just three breaths, smoke rose from his fist. When he opened it, only some paper ash fell to the ground.
Vincent snorted coldly and said.
“Just use whatever tricks you have. Let me see just how tragic your final dance is.”
That subordinate’s face turned slightly pale.
Others might not know, but he knew that Vincent’s greatest hobby was torturing noble beauties.
It was said that the scar on Vincent’s face was given to him by a young girl in his youth. Later, he fled to the Northern Kingdoms and received charity from one of the Three Kings of the North, which allowed him to gradually rise in wealth.
Enya stood in the underground chamber, inside the reconstructed magic array, closing her eyes to sense the flow of magic power here.
“Hoo…”
She gently exhaled and slowly opened her eyes.
Enya reached under her ear and removed the [Thousand Faces] mask she wore, revealing her true appearance.
Compared to her transformed mature female appearance, she now appeared more cool and elegant, with a regal aura. Adorned with draconic features, her entire body exuded a sacred and mysterious atmosphere.
She looked down at herself, still wearing that purple mermaid dress.
Enya frowned slightly.
She reached behind her back, over her shoulders, and untied the ribbon tied in a bow. After some fiddling, the smooth, white skin of her back was exposed.
At the same time, her small black and red dragon wings also spread a little.
These little things could grow or shrink. Being pressed under clothes was just uncomfortable, but since there was no one else here, Enya let them out to get some air and feel comfortable.
She didn’t really like this purple dress. It was a bit too mature.
Although Enya was no longer young in age, her mentality was still very youthful.
If possible, Enya really wanted to be a maiden again.
After all, carrying two big white rabbits on her chest was really tiring. If she could swap with Vivienne, Enya would be willing.
Looking down at her own tightly cinched, slender waist, Enya pouted. If she were a normal young lady or noblewoman, she definitely wouldn’t like being dressed like this with a corset.
“Well… forget it. I’m too lazy to change.”
Enya blinked, not wanting to change clothes now. She had serious business to attend to.
During the time she was lost in thought, the magic array had fully unfolded. The flow of magic power here became regular, and the quantity was more abundant than ordinary places.
She walked to the center of the magic array, raised her hand and opened her palm. About ten centimeters above her hand, a dark crack split open, and from it fell a special bottle.
What was inside the bottle was not a traditional potion, nor some collectible, but a cross-shaped star particle emitting purple-pink light. It expanded and contracted as if breathing.
Through the Black Anling Flower Dagger, she had taken the fragment of “Desire” from the Goddess of Night’s Cicada Wing, which possessed some power of a deity.
If she uncorked the bottle and released this star…
This underground chamber of Enya’s would soon become agitated and collapse, and this Lakeside City wouldn’t last even an hour before being completely corrupted by the authority contained within.
This was high-level power, something already conceptual.
Of course, Enya herself would be fine.
As for others…
It would be almost impossible for them to be fine. If such a fragment were exposed, it would surely be a disaster.
Fortunately, it was held in Enya’s hands.
Then Enya uncorked the bottle. The purple-pink star particle, sensing the suppression was gone, immediately began to spread contamination outward.
Brilliant purple-pink light continuously spilled out from the bottle mouth, like smoke seeping out. But Enya had already prepared. A silver-white Sword Qi materialized out of thin air.
In almost an instant, the silver-white Sword Qi annihilated the purple-pink light.
No matter how much dangerous, terrifying contamination came out, it destroyed it all. Under Enya’s active control, the silver-white Sword Qi wrapped around the purple-pink star particle and brought it out of the bottle.
On the Fragment of Desire, there was no lingering ancient will. Only an instinct to spread remained on it.
After wrapping the purple-pink star particle with Sword Qi, Enya gently pushed her open palm upward. The purple-pink star particle, now with a layer of white circular light, slowly floated into the air.
Enya raised her head, her golden-red dragon eyes fixed on the slowly rising star particle. Just as she lowered her head to sit cross-legged, she suddenly realized this dress was a mermaid dress.
The narrow skirt bound Enya’s legs, and after revealing her true body, she now had a thick dragon tail. Inside the skirt, it was already full.
Now, forget sitting cross-legged—if she sat normally, she would sit directly on her tail. And the feeling of pressing on her tail was not comfortable at all.
Standing was also an option, but it wasn’t really suitable for this atmosphere.
She glanced around. As the magic array completed its final unfolding, Enya felt as if she were in a sea of stars. Above her head was the purple-pink star particle surrounded by silver-white, and she stood in it, also wearing a purple dress.
Enya bent down, took off her high heels, revealing only delicate black stockings covering her pink feet, and stepped on the ground. Then she lifted her skirt and knelt down to sit.
Her legs folded together, her plump, snow-white bottom pressed against her heels, neither yielding to the other.
Because the skirt hem was pulled almost to her abdomen, the thigh-high stockings on her legs were fully exposed. Even though Enya’s round, slender legs were folded, they still possessed a balanced beauty.
This sitting position was also not very comfortable. Since she was already sitting, Enya simply spread her legs open, pointing her feet outward, and let her bottom hit the ground.
This was the Dragon Princess’s duck-sitting pose.
“This…”
After hearing the sound, Enya turned to look.
Sure enough, her tail had accidentally torn the skirt.
She grabbed the base of her tail with both hands, looking at it with a disappointed expression. After all, it was the only part of her body that had secretly grown so much without her knowledge.
“Hmph, you’ll be gone soon!”
Enya thought that after she achieved complete Dragonification, she would be able to freely switch between degrees of dragonization and fully return to her original human form.
She could also completely transform into a giant dragon, and then she wouldn’t have to worry about all the meat going to her tail.
“Hoo…”
After another gentle exhale, Enya closed her eyes again.
The magic array’s azure light became more prominent. All Origin Magic Power was extracted from space, gathering around Enya, forming a magic power storm centered on her.
Meanwhile, in midair, a gap appeared at the bottom of the silver-white wrapped purple-pink star particle. Purple-pink light spilled out, and just as it was about to corrupt everything here, it seemed to be drawn downward by some force.
The purple light turned into strands of silk, falling all the way to above Enya’s head. As Enya slowly raised her head, these lights just touched her forehead and were absorbed by the fine, sparkling dragon scales. Her delicate face showed not a trace of expression.
The corruption of authority was also a manifestation of its power. Those who could not bear its power would be dominated by it. Those who could bear it would absorb this power and turn it to their own use.
If it were anyone else, they certainly couldn’t directly consume the original like Enya. They would have to slowly absorb a little bit, gradually increase the dosage after adaptation, spending years or even decades to adapt to this power.
But Enya was different. She directly absorbed the power of the Desire authority, and at the same time, she would take the opportunity to break through to dual-core Sixth Rank magic power.
As the pink light flowed into Enya’s brow, the Origin Magic Power extracted from space was also absorbed by the two cores within her.
The Origin Magic Power condensed onto the core’s surface. With Pandrake’s assistance, Enya could inscribe both magic cores simultaneously. Those dense runes were carved bit by bit onto the Fifth-Tier Magic Cores, gradually forming a new layer.
Whether absorbing the authority’s power or simultaneously advancing, both required time, so Enya sat here motionless.
Her advancement was stable and uneventful, nothing special to mention. Meanwhile, outside, storms were brewing. Especially after Enya went into seclusion, some rumors said she had actually already absconded with the money.
Third day, night.
In a small villa in the wealthy district, a cute little girl pushed open her parents’ bedroom door. With tears in her eyes, she threw herself into her mother’s arms and, sobbing, spoke to her naked parents.
“There’s a monster, Mom, a monster! A huge monster in the sky…”
“Silly child, did you have a dream?”
The woman, having been interrupted in her casting, looked somewhat displeased.
But since it was her precious daughter, she could only cast a resentful look at her husband, who looked relieved beside her.
The man, whose eyes were a bit dazed, gave an awkward smile and quickly comforted his daughter, who had run in and pushed open the door in the middle of the night.
“Sweetie, what did the monster look like? Daddy will go beat it away!”
“It…”
The soft, timid little girl thought for a moment, then said timidly.
“It’s a dragon! A huge dragon!”
“…..”
“……”
The little girl’s parents were both silent. They had also just had a dream, in which the sky was occupied by a huge creature. The form of that giant beast was also like a dragon.
It was said that many people had dreamed of vague, eerie giant shadows these past days.
