Fourth Prince's Debauchery-Chapter 706 - Meeting E’Athar Again (2)

Chapter 706 - Meeting E’Athar Again (2)

I've had a severe headache since yesterday. It has been very annoying...

I should post another chapter at noon, and perhaps one or two more at night.

...

E'Athar was standing at the top of the city fortress, wielding her sword swiftly as she defended against the attacks of the invaders.

Her heroic figure increased the morale of her men, and her overwhelming strength and confident expression intimidated the enemies.

But when I saw her, I could not help but notice the nervousness and despair hidden behind her façade of confidence.

Nervousness due to the quickly worsening situation, and the despair of not seeing a way out.

But all of sudden, her body stiffened.

Then, her eyes moved in my direction.

Surprise appeared in her face, followed by shock, and finally, relief.

In an instant, all her negative feelings disappeared completely.

It was as though she was sure that everything was going to be alright with me here.

Seeing that, my expression softened.

I took a step forward, disappearing from the slightly cloudy sky and appearing in front of her.

Next, I extended my hand and caressed her cheek gently.

"I came."

Tears appeared on E'Athar's eyes. She bit her lips softly as her golden eyes were fixed in my figure.

Instinctively, she took one step forward to hug me, but after remembering that she was in the middle of a battle, she hurriedly stopped to avoid affecting the morale of the army.

But I did not need to care about that.

Distorting the space around us so nobody could see us, I pulled her towards me and hugged her body tightly.

Then, I kissed her snow-white hair and put my chin on her head.

"… I'm glad you are alright."

E'Athar trembled on my arms, and small tears started to fall from her eyes.

"You came…" She muttered.

"Of course." I nodded and raised her face, kissing her lips gently. "How could I not come when my darling is in danger?"

E'Athar giggled and kissed my lips back. Then, she pressed her face against my chest.

"… Thank you… Really… Thank you for coming... I was afraid I could not see you again."

"I won't allow something like that to happen. Even if the universe is destroyed and we can't escape death, I will stay beside you at that time."

E'Athar smiled sweetly and hugged me tighter. "Smooth talker."

I just chuckled and continued hugging her, as though I was afraid of her disappearing.

Several minutes passed like that. E'Athar did not want to separate from me. If she could, she wanted to remain like this forever.

But she knew that it was impossible.

Right now, her people were fighting a bloody battle. Every second, dozens of daemons died under the blades and spells of their kin.

I immediately understood E'Athar intention and nodded.

"Let's put an end to this battle for now."

E'Athar was startled. She then seemed to think about something and her expression changed quickly.

"Wait wait wait! Don't kill them! Even though they are enemies, they are still my kin!"

I could not help but laugh when I saw E'Athar's panic.

"Don't worry, I'm not planning to kill them. I know you won't like that." Plus, killing them is a waste. Every one of these daemons is useful to me.

E'Athar sighed in relief before putting on a confused expression.

"Then, how do you plan to stop the battle?"

"Look carefully," I smirked before stomping on the city walls softly.

Nothing happened at the start, making E'Athar confused, but a few seconds later, her expression changed.

In the next instant, a roar spread through the battlefield.

The earth shook, and the ground trembled. A powerful earthquake made the terrain vibrate intensely, as though the world was shaking in pain.

The unexpected disaster surprised every daemon. Soon, their faces were filled with fear and panic as they distanced themselves from the city walls, afraid of the walls collapsing on them.

In less than one minute, the battle had stopped completely.

But I knew that it was not enough. Just this could not stop the battle completely. The battle would resume a few minutes after the earthquake stops.

Thus, I extended my hands towards the sky and manipulated the mana in the air.

In seconds, a powerful wind ran throughout the battlefield, accompanied by dark clouds that quickly darkened the sky.

The sun disappeared completely, blocked by the clouds. It was as though the day had turned into night in an instant.

Before the daemons could understand what was happening, a downpour started to fall.

Wind and rain, accompanied by thunder and lightning, showed together and formed an unprecedented storm.

The rain was so strong that people could barely see a few meters ahead of them, and the clouds that extended towards the horizon were so dark that they blocked the sun completely.

In such a situation it was impossible to continue the battle.

E'Athar looked at me astonished. Even though she knew that I was extremely powerful, what I just showed her went beyond simply being powerful.

I had told her that I was an Immortal, but to her, the concept of Immortals was too distant and unknown. Only now did she grasp what being an Immortal meant.

Power beyond logic.

To me, what I just did was only a slightly special application of mana, but to her, it was already beyond her knowledge.

Not even gods could control the climate so easily!

I chuckled when I saw her astonished expression.

"So? What do you think? This should be enough to stop the battle for a while, right?"

E'Athar looked at me agape, unable to reply.

At that moment, we heard the faint sound of horns being blown.

It was the retreat signal from the emperor's faction and the crown prince's faction.

"See? It worked." I smiled at E'Athar with a mischievous look.

E'Athar could only nod with a dazed expression.
