YM778.TV Chapter 690 Demon Duke
Quibus Faeries had far more leeway when it came to random summons. They could even direct their choices to a certain extent. Ailsa wanted to summon a Demon compatible with Ryu, and she had landed on a jackpot. Not only would this Frost Thunder Giant be powerful in battle, afterwards, should it not be good enough to become part of Ryu\'s permanent lineup, its flesh and blood were incredibly valuable resources.
As expected, the instant the Frost Thunder Giant appeared, it roared with rage, turning its gaze toward Ryu and Ailsa to swallow them whole. It was a noble Demon Duke, to have been pulled to this world as a random summon was nothing short of extraordinarily humiliating for it. However, neither Ryu nor Ailsa seemed quite fazed in the slightest.
Ailsa\'s hair fluttered and the shimmering red gold crown beneath Ryu\'s mask grew in brightness. Before the Frost Thunder Giant could react, it found its forehead frozen in place. The formation that held its Innate Inheritances was suddenly pierced by a light, causing its individual thoughts to suddenly dull.
In one moment, it had all the pride in the world, and in the next, its only thoughts were actions commanded to it by Ailsa and Ryu.
Those watching couldn\'t help but be stunned. This wasn\'t because the two had managed to subdue the Frost Thunder Giant, this much was already expected. Who would be stupid enough to do something beyond their means in battle? Wouldn\'t that just be asking for death?
No, what shocked them was the fact that Ailsa and Ryu had to subdue it at all. By virtue of the fact they had to do so, it meant that it was a random summon. Usually, random summons were something Summoning Necromancers only used when they were trying their luck to find and contract random summons, or when they weren\'t going all out.
The fact that this was a battle, it was more likely to be the second. That meant that Ailsa and Ryu were capable of casually summoning a Demon Duke… Not just any Demon Duke, but one of the Ninth Order…
What the hell was going on here?!
Everyone seemed to be expressed except for Ailsa herself. After recovering from her initial glee, she couldn\'t help but be disappointed.
\'Humph, clearly I held back too much. This thing is just of the Ninth Order, how weak.\'
Ryu smiled toward Ailsa\'s little tantrum. Though he had thought she went too far before, he knew that she was acting within her means.
During the few months of training they had in the lead up to the banquet, the two hadn\'t really spent much time talking about Ailsa\'s new Quibus Faerie status. But, this was only because the both of them subconsciously knew that there wasn\'t much of a point.
With their level of talent in the field, there was no better choice than to find out their limits in real time.
With a wave of his hand, a steed covered from head to toe in steely silver armor appeared. Nemesis\'s nostrils billowed with sparking flames, his neigh shaking the skies.
Ryu lightly hopped onto Nemesis\' back, reaching down and pulling Yaana along with him.
Yaana blushed as she sat between Ryu\'s legs, but she quickly sank into the feeling of comfort. Ryu\'s chest was so wide and firm that it felt like she was leaning upon the most comfortable chair in the world, her small frame getting lost in his embrace.
\'Forward!\'
Ailsa shouted out toward the Frost Thunder Giant. It was almost as though she was eager to watch it battle to its last breath just so that she could summon another.
The toll of summoning a Demon Duke hardly cost a thing between Ailsa\'s World Sea Realm soul and Ryu\'s Indestructible Soul and Primordial Chaos Death Qi. Even summoning a dozen Frost Thunder Giants wouldn\'t be a problem.
The warriors who had just been standing proudly upon the barricade suddenly scattered as the Frost Thunder Giant\'s club swept down toward them. The rumbling of air and a frigid wind followed it, making the spines of all those who witnessed it tingle with fear.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
The boundaries imploded before the club even connected, the unique qi of the Frost Thunder Giant shining through with peak levels of destruction.
Nemesis stepped into the skies, following alongside the Frost Thunder Giant and remaining level with the latter\'s shoulder.
Behind Ryu, the crowd exchanged glances before they all surged forward at once. It wasn\'t them who broke the barricade, so it wasn\'t as though they could be punished, right? Plus, even if the Armament Guild did want to find fault with them, it wasn\'t as though they could punish them all.
Which of them wasn\'t a powerful expert? Among them, there were plenty from powerful backgrounds, Clans and Sects.
Thinking to this point, they all surged after Ryu.
At that point, a chain of flames lashed out, catching the crowd off guard. But, they all sighed a breath of relief when they found that it wasn\'t aimed toward them but rather aimed toward Teebald who had been flung off into the distance.
Many watched on in pity as Teebald was dragged along by Ryu, streaking through the skies in one of the most humiliating ways possible.
"Dammit, we need to report this."
Watching on as the crowd surged forward, those that had been tasked with guarding this location were flustered. Without a choice, they could only report this upward.
…
The roar of the Frost Thunder Giant shook the starry skies, barrier after barrier falling before it.
By this point, many had been alerted, including the six fighting youths. But, the truth of the matter was that this battle was supremely important, how could there not be several World Sea Realm experts watching on?
"… This brat…"
Godefride\'s father, Aberardus, watched on speechlessly. Wasn\'t this kid too good at causing trouble?
