Chapter 97: Don't come any closer, stop it!
The Arcane Airship arrived at Sky Sanctuary.
The disciples who stayed behind were thrilled to hear that Holy Emperor Thunderflame had been slain. After all, he was a Holy Emperor!
Defeating Holy Emperor Thunderflame not only showcased the strength of Sky Sanctuary once again but also quelled the anger simmering in their hearts.
Holy Emperor Thunderflame deserved to die, and his death was a welcome one!
Especially Timothy, who delivered the final blow to Holy Emperor Thunderflame, was freaking awesome!
Even though Holy Emperor Thunderflame was severely injured, they couldn't fathom how Timothy managed to take down a Holy Emperor.
Meanwhile, Timothy quietly slipped into Sylvia's chambers.
This encounter with Holy Emperor Thunderflame had deepened his understanding of a Holy Emperor's power.
The strength of each Holy Emperor was terrifying.
Even though he succeeded in the end by using the Celestial Feather Form and the "Triple Strike" to kill that bastard.
But if he wanted to face a Holy Emperor head-on, he needed to boost his strength quickly.
After all, the other two Holy Emperors who had long coveted Sky Sanctuary were probably plotting something.
And how to increase his strength?
That definitely started with reaping benefits from the goddess!
The rewards from the goddess were always top-notch!
"What are you up to?" Sylvia noticed Timothy's sly smile as he raised his hands and stepped closer.
Sylvia immediately sensed something was off.
"Don't be scared, babe, it's going to feel amazing," Timothy said as he closed in.
After more practice, his massage skills had improved even further.
His massage techniques were unparalleled, unmatched throughout history!
Sylvia's delicate ears turned bright red. "Don't come any closer, stop it!"
"You say no, but your body says yes. Have you forgotten last time?"
"Last time?" Sylvia tried hard to push away the thought.
Timothy's massages were indeed exhilarating, but it was somewhat undermining her dignity as the supreme goddess!
However, in just a moment of distraction, Timothy's hands were already on her soft, fragrant shoulders.
"Oh!"
"Ah~"
[Successfully relaxed Goddess Sylvia, reward obtained]
[Successfully eased Goddess Sylvia's fatigue, reward obtained]
[Successfully made Goddess Sylvia's whole body feel refreshed, received a system mega pack]
[Successfully made Goddess Sylvia lose her guard and her consciousness blur, received a mysterious treasure box]
In the chambers, their voices were heard, but they were unseen.
Two hours later, Sylvia leaned weakly in her chair, her body limp as if she had no strength left.
Her fair skin was dotted with glistening beads of sweat.
Timothy flexed his wrists as he walked out of the chambers.
The art of massage was terrifyingly effective!
If he ever left this world, he would definitely pass down this technique!
...
In the distant frigid lands, where frost and snow swirled.
"Holy Emperor Thunderflame has been killed! And Eryndor too!
That woman!"
"Boom!"
With a fierce flap of his wings, he cleaved a towering iceberg in half.
The figure with wings on his back, eyes filled with endless rage, and a body radiating murderous intent, was none other than Holy Emperor Featherwind.
Holy Emperor Mountainshade, with a cold and silent gaze, finally sighed, "Indeed, we have fallen into Goddess Sylvia's trap. However, even though Holy Emperor Thunderflame has been killed, our plan remains unbroken."
As he spoke, he clenched his fist towards the void.
A cage of thunder floated up, imprisoning the nearly dead Old Dragon King Aurelian, his body covered in strange blood patterns.
"If we can awaken him, even without Holy Emperor Thunderflame, we can easily trample the Sky Sanctuary and completely obliterate Goddess Sylvia."
"Exactly, exactly, if we can awaken him! Hahaha!" Holy Emperor Featherwind's eyes gleamed with madness as he burst into hysterical laughter.
His crazed demeanor starkly contrasted with his holy wings.
Holy Emperor Featherwind, enveloped in a murderous aura, swung his sword, causing glaciers to collapse and giant waves to surge.
"Goddess Sylvia, you've nearly destroyed my spiritual foundation, leaving me unable to advance. I will avenge the great grudge of a hundred years ago! Sky Sanctuary, and you, will all die!"
Holy Emperor Mountainshade seemed uninterested in the nearly mad Holy Emperor Featherwind, instead focusing intently on the broken body of Aurelian.
A trace of blood-red aura slowly flowed from his body, merging into the thunder cage.
The moment it touched the bloodstains on Aurelian, the already bizarre aura became even more mysterious and unpredictable.
Suddenly, Holy Emperor Mountainshade sharply turned his gaze to the ice a few hundred feet away.
In the midst of the snow and ice, a pale white, cold little flower grew.
The flower was crystal clear, emitting a faint chill, almost completely blending with the surrounding ice and snow.
But no matter what, he should have noticed it earlier.
Suddenly, Holy Emperor Mountainshade realized something was amiss.
With a flick of his finger, a spirit blade slashed, cutting the crystal-clear flower in two.
A fragrant scent wafted through the cold wind, and the flower turned into shimmering snow, scattering with the wind.
"Holy Maiden Aeliana, you dare to get involved! Do you want to drag the entire Blooming Sanctuary into the abyss because of yourself? If you speak of today's events, when I awaken that being, your Blooming Sanctuary will be destroyed along with Sky Sanctuary!"
Holy Emperor Mountainshade watched the remnants of the flower scatter with the wind, his murderous intent undisguised.
"Holy Maiden Aeliana, you dare!" Holy Emperor Featherwind stepped forward, crushing the remaining ashes of the flower.
His eyes were filled with mad murderous intent.
Even though the flower was already crushed, he continued to madly stomp on the glacial ground.
Each stomp caused the surrounding glaciers to tremble incessantly.
Yet, the little flower simply faded away into the air, making no response.
...
"Indeed, things are not as simple as imagined. These guys have a deadly intent towards Sylvia."
Blooming Sanctuary.
Holy Maiden Aeliana opened her eyes slightly, her beautiful eyes filled with worry.
What could possibly be the being that Holy Emperor Thunderflame summoned with his last bit of strength, even at the cost of his life?
If she hadn't successfully overheard the conversation between Holy Emperor Featherwind and Holy Emperor Mountainshade.
She would still be completely unaware of this matter.
"Hmph╭(╯^╰)╮, for the sake of our many years of acquaintance, I'll reluctantly help you out." Holy Maiden Aeliana snorted softly.
Although Sylvia has been increasingly overbearing lately, even blatantly flaunting her love in front of her...
However...
The image of Timothy appeared in her mind, and she licked her lips, her eyes filled with enticing charm.
She wondered what kind of expression Sylvia would have if she stole her husband.
