Very soon, Su Nian learned the answer regarding the upgrade of the collar.
A surge of electricity, incomparably familiar yet far fiercer and more tyrannical than ever before, suddenly exploded from the icy metal collar around her neck!
This force was so bizarre and violent, it pierced through all defenses and acted directly upon the depths of her nerves.
Whether it was the indestructible [Lingyuan Flame Barrier] energy giant or the “Absolute Defense” trait brought by the Sea Island Giant Spirit Turtle’s mountain blessing or even the set of [Saint Radiance Knight Armor (Female)] on her body, radiated holy brilliance—
At this moment, they all seemed like jokes, utterly useless, unable to block this invasion from within her own body!
If it were only an electric shock, she could still bear it.
After a brief daze, relying on the strength of her saint-level physique, Su Nian could barely hold on.
She was no longer that fragile girl who could be easily knocked down!
However, what truly filled Su Nian with fear was something else.
And at this moment she could clearly feel that the magic she had previously struggled to suppress the collar with was rapidly collapsing.
And the magic within her body, once as vast and abundant as the ocean, was now out of control, being frantically siphoned and devoured by the collar on her neck…
That was her magic, the power she had worked so hard to accumulate.
Su Nian let out a stifled groan of pain she couldn’t suppress, her delicate body trembling violently.
Due to the sudden loss of magic, the massive energy body wrapping around her—[Lingyuan Flame Barrier]—flickered violently like a poor-quality, glitching image, its light quickly dimming, on the verge of collapsing on the spot.
Even the Holy Light Spear tightly gripped in her hand could no longer maintain a stable form, flickering unsteadily and threatening to dissipate at any moment.
“Thud!”
The intense paralysis and the weakness from her magic being forcibly drained weighed down on her like two mountains.
Su Nian, clad in the heavy Saint Radiance Knight Armor (Female), felt her legs give out, collapsing uncontrollably to her knees on the cold, hard black stone floor!
The silver-white, delicate knee guards struck the ground with a crisp, piercing “clang.”
In that split-second, the entire battle situation was turned upside down!
The sudden, bizarre upgrade and terrifying effect of the [Lover’s Prison Collar] nearly instantly robbed Su Nian of her ability to fight.
On the other hand, Chu Tian’s figure, as swift as a phantom, retreated with ghostly speed, dodging by a hair’s breadth of the Wind Elemental Holy Dragon’s devastating dragon breath.
Without even looking back, he flicked his wrist and shot several extremely condensed energy arrows, fused with the powers of darkness and space, which homed in precisely on the agile Purple Domain Spirit Cat, who was weaving through the air, trying to save Su Nian!
Even though Su Nian had been successfully suppressed by the collar for now but the two saint-level magical beasts before him still posed a great threat.
He couldn’t afford to be careless in the slightest.
At the same time, Su Nian, now collapsed on the ground, was enduring a pain, humiliation, and a difficult choice she couldn’t put into words.
The upgraded [Lover’s Prison Collar] was far more terrifying and domineering than ever before.
In addition to the crazed draining of Su Nian’s magic, an intangible spiritual interference force invaded her consciousness, making it impossible for her to focus.
She felt her mind growing foggy, her thoughts slowing.
Uuuu…
She was… about to become a fool…
This feeling filled her with terror from the bottom of her heart.
What made Su Nian even more desperate and on the verge of breaking down was…
That shameful reaction of her body.
When the collar forcefully drained her magic, her mind knew clearly how terrible this was.
Without magic, how could she face the Horned Demon?
She absolutely had to stop this from happening…
But after the collar’s upgrade, every sense in her body, every inch of skin, was heightened to the limit.
Thus, while enduring the agony of electricity and magic extraction, her body… mixed within was a shameful, indescribable pleasure that made her want to die of embarrassment!
When her magic was drained, the sensation—that numb, tingling comfort—
It was comparable to… no, even vaguely surpassed the feeling when the Horned Demon… when Master pinned her beneath him, wantonly possessing her…
Aaaah!
No… No, she mustn’t…
She couldn’t lose herself like this…
She, Su Nian, would never submit to this damned Horned Demon!
“Ugh—!”
An uncontrollable moan escaped through her clenched teeth.
That tingling shame flooded her like a bursting tide, surging from her tailbone up her spine, instantly sweeping through every corner of her body, making her tall, slender figure shudder, her skin flushed an enticing pink.
Why was this happening?!
She was in a fight to the death with this damned Horned Demon!
She wanted nothing more than to tear him apart, to grind his bones to dust!
Yet her body… her body, at this most critical moment… was betraying her with such lowly, self-loathing reactions!
She even felt an unspeakable emptiness and yearning, wanting to… wanting to…
“Ding dong, Humiliation Value increased by 80,000.”
“Ding dong, Annoyance Value +80,000.”
‘No! No way!’
The cold System Notification, at this moment, rang in her ears like the sharpest mockery, mercilessly echoing in her already chaotic mind.
Chu Tian, of course, keenly noticed Su Nian’s strange state.
While calmly dealing with Little green and Little Violet’s increasingly anxious attacks due to their master’s plight, he spared a glance at the girl kneeling on the ground, her delicate body trembling, her beautiful face flushed red, her sky-blue eyes filled with shame, anger, and glimmering moisture.
Because they prioritized protecting their master Su Nian, who was being interfered with by the collar, the Wind Elemental Holy Dragon Little green and Purple Domain Spirit Cat Little Violet’s ferocious assaults had to shift mainly to defense and distraction.
Some magical attacks they could have easily dodged with their great strength, they now had to withstand head-on.
Very quickly, dazzling dragon scales and soft fur bore new scars, some deep, some shallow.
Chu Tian gradually regained the upper hand in the struggle with the two powerful beasts.
He looked at Su Nian, whose eyes and brows now carried an unconscious, alluring charm, and a cruel, playful curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.
“How does it feel, my little wildcat? Satisfied?”
His voice wasn’t loud, but it was like the devil’s whisper, clear as day in Su Nian’s ears.
‘Satisfied… my ass! I’ll kill you!’ Su Nian forced herself to think, struggling against her body’s urges.
“Oh? Your body… seems much more honest than your mouth.”
Chu Tian’s words were like an invisible slap, viciously striking Su Nian’s proud self-esteem.
Absolutely not!
No way!
It was all because of this damned Horned Demon… he was too evil!
Ugh…
It was the collar on her neck causing trouble—if only she’d focused on it before fighting the Horned Demon…
And at this moment Su Nian looked at Little green and Little violet, each now locked in bitter battle—still brave, but having lost their initial overwhelming advantage, now facing danger at every turn.
Mmm.
She couldn’t lose.
She truly couldn’t lose!
For her companions Little green… Little violet… and Da Shan…
For everyone in Magic Feather Fantasy, and her parents still waiting for her safe return at home—
She, Su Nian, would never give up!
In that instant, the conviction in her heart lifted her spirit once more.
In a flash, Su Nian thought of a desperate solution!
Since it was the collar constantly absorbing her magic, and she couldn’t stop it, that was why she felt so humiliatingly, pleasurably miserable…
Then!
What if she let all the magic in her body be sucked away at once?
If there was no magic left to absorb, maybe her body wouldn’t feel… those sensations.
Anyway—
With her Saint Knight’s physique, even without magic, she could still fight!
