Leveling Up by Seducing Milfs-Chapter 194. The Hero Who Fights For Her Tears

The water around the Leviathan suddenly turned against the Guardian, making huge hands that grabbed each of the creature’s heads and pulled them in different directions. The Leviathan thrashed around a lot, but Nerissa had complete control over her area.

Seris growled and sent more energy through the Tidecaller Trident, making the Leviathan fight against Nerissa’s control. The two forces fought, creating shock waves that traveled the ocean for miles in every direction.

"Corruption Cascade!" Seris shouted, and purple energy shot out of the trident in a spiral that tried to pollute the water that Nerissa was controlling.

"Purification Surge!" Nerissa said, and her own magic burned away the corruption before it could take hold.

The battle between the two queens transformed into a breathtaking spectacle, with blue-white oceanic power clashing against purple corrupted energy. The pressure waves made buildings fall apart.

The coral streets broke and then came back together. Ocean-dwelling civilians ran to the outer districts, where currents that Nerissa controlled even while she was fighting took them.

Rick couldn’t believe how big the fight was between the two. Nerissa made tsunamis that were underwater.

They were huge walls of compressed water that hit the Leviathan with enough force to break its armored scales. Seris fought back by corrupting the water itself, using Nerissa’s own attacks against her in twisted versions of ocean magic.

The Leviathan’s tail whipped around, trying to catch Nerissa from behind. But she just teleported through the water to a new spot, moving like the ocean itself instead of swimming through it.

"Abyssal Binding: Crushing Depths!" Nerissa yelled, and the pressure around the Leviathan rose by a huge amount.

Even a Guardian built to withstand the deepest parts of the ocean groaned under the weight of Nerissa’s ten thousand meters of pressure coming from all sides at once.

Seris yelled in anger and drove the Tidecaller Trident down. "Leviathan! Corruption Nova!"

The Guardian’s whole body glowed purple, and then it exploded outward with a shockwave of pure corrupted energy that broke Nerissa’s pressure attack and made the Empress retreat several hundred meters.

Rick saw that Typhon had broken away from Seris and was floating near the edge of the plaza, watching the battle with corrupted eyes that looked like they were sad under the purple light.

Rick used his Draconic Wings to fly at the Emperor Consort, his heart full of rage. "That fucking asshole...!!!"

"You worthless piece of shit!" Rick screamed as he got closer, his fist already full of both demonic and draconic energy. "You can’t just stand there looking sad after what you did!"

Typhon turned to look at him, and his face showed no surprise. Just giving up. "Hero of Mature Hearts... I was curious when you would come for me."

Rick’s punch hit Typhon in the face, and the evil emperor flew back through the water, crashing into a building that was only half standing. Rick didn’t let him recover.

He was on Typhon in seconds, hitting it with blows powered by Blood Price and Draconic Sovereignty.

"You spent seven hundred fucking years with her!" Rick yelled between punches, and each one got past Typhon’s quick defenses.

"Seven hundred years of love, partnership, and building something together—and you gave it all up because you wanted something that was only yours!?"

"What kind of selfish assholes does that?!"

Typhon caught one of Rick’s punches and effortlessly threw him aside. Corruption energy swirled around him as he stood.

"You won’t understand... not at your age."

"You are only 24 years old. In your last life, you died alone and unloved!"

"What do you know about carrying the weight of 700 years?!"

"I know that if you love someone with all your heart, you won’t betray them like the way you just did!" Rick charged again, his dragon claws outstretched. "I know that when you promise someone something, you keep your word even when it’s hard!"

"I know you don’t keep a secret family for 200 years while your wife thinks you’re faithful!!!"

The water trembled as they clashed. Corruption amplified Typhon’s strength, allowing him to match Rick’s combined demonic and draconic power.

They fought in the water, each trying to get the upper hand.

BAM! BAM! BAM!

As they fought, Typhon grated his teeth and said, "She was always so far away."

"Always thinking about the kingdom, the wards, and keeping the ocean’s balance...!"

"I needed warmth and someone... who didn’t just see me as the Emperor Consort!"

"Seris does that to me... all she saw about me was the real me! Just Typhon."

Rick headbutted him, breaking Typhon’s nose and sending more purple ichor into the water. "Then you should’ve fucking told her about that bullshit!"

"You should have told Nerissa how you felt instead of being a coward and sneaking around for two hundred years!"

He followed up with a deadly combo. The Demon Queen’s Wrath from his left hand made a blast that knocked Typhon out, and the Crimson Devastation from his right hand knocked the Emperor Consort through the wreckage of another building.

Typhon admitted, "You’re right," as he pulled himself out of the rubble.

His corrupted body healed the damage almost right away. "I was a coward..."

"I chose the easy way of lying instead of the hard way of being honest. And it ruined everything."

"So why the fuck are you doing this?!" Rick yelled, out of breath from working hard.

The timer was running out, but Spirit Unity was still going strong. "Why choose that bastard Archon?"

"Why would you help destroy the kingdom you worked so hard to build?"

Typhon’s face changed from angry to sad and broken. "Because you can’t go back, Hero..."

"For fifty years, I sat on that throne, reflecting on my actions by revisiting every choice I made, along with all the lies I told..."

"I could have been honest at any time, but I chose to lie instead. The guilt almost made me go crazy."

The purple corruption swirled around his body more strongly. "When the Archon freed me from that guilt and showed me that the world is rotten and forces people to make impossible choices, it was like a revelation."

"I’m not the bad guy... the monster is the system that made me choose!"

"You know that’s not true!" Rick charged forward again, this time with both hands engulfed in a mix of dragon and demon fire that could burn even underwater. "You made your choices!"

"You made the choice to betray Nerissa! And what’s fucking worse is that you even made the choice to start a secret family!" 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"You chose to tell and live a lie for two hundred years! The world didn’t make you do anything!"

Their fight got intense. Typhon showed off his fighting skills, which he had honed over eight hundred years, by using water magic in ways that worked well with his corrupted power.

He made whirlpools that tried to trap Rick, frozen water spears that shot like bullets, and pressure waves that could break bones.

But Rick fought with something Typhon no longer possessed: a purpose.

Each blow he delivered felt infused with Nerissa’s tears. Each strike called to mind the emptiness in her eyes as she recounted her loneliness over the past fifty years.

Every attack was fueled by anger at seeing someone hurt the woman he was trying to save. "Do you want to know what makes you a weak emperor?!

Rick growled as he caught one of Typhon’s water spears and broke it with his bare hands. "It’s not the affair nor even the lies...!"

He got closer and grabbed Typhon by the throat, his dragon claws digging into the rotten flesh. "It’s that you broke her so completely that she thought she deserved to suffer for fifty years!"

"You changed someone who ruled with kindness and wisdom into a shell with no feelings!"

"You made her think she was the monster when you were the one who really betrayed her...!"

"YOU ARE A PIECE OF FUCKING SHIT!"

Rick’s grip got tighter, and Sovereign’s Command turned on, making Typhon’s corrupted form freeze for a moment. "And now you have the fucking nerve to act like you’re the victim?!"

"Do you really think the Archon has set you free? You’re not free at all...! You’re merely evading responsibility, just as you have for the past fifty years."

"You remain a puppet, controlled by someone else!"
