In reality, Lloyd inciting the Pontiff to kill Andrius during the Praxispetition was the first move to


    deal with Old Hagstorm. This was the second move,


    There must not be any mistakes in the family’s century–long n, so he had to be extremely cautious.


    “No problem.” The Insect Ruler grinned and said mysteriously, “Since you want to test me, thene.


    Don’t wait for me to make the first move, or you’ll be unable to withstand it.”


    The words were confident to the point of arrogance.


    Lloyd, who had been renowned in the Obaro continent for many years, could not help but be infuriated.


    Swoosh…


    The next second, he leaped forward like a sparrow taking flight.


    Lloyd’s figure moved unpredictably in mid–air, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, making it difficult


    for anyone to predict when he would suddenly attack.


    However, this was all just child’s y to the Insect Ruler.


    Whoosh…


    While Lloyd was still in mid–air, the Insect Ruler suddenly thrust his palm in a certain direction.


    Bam!


    Immediately, a palm shot out from that direction and shed with the Insect Ruler. It was none other


    than Lloyd.


    The Insect Ruler predicted Lloyd’s attack!


    Furthermore, the vast and intimidating inner energy made Lloyd retreat seven to eight steps to


    dissipate the overwhelming force.


    On the other hand, the Insect Ruler stood where he was, unmoving as a mountain. He looked


    completely rxed.


    Swoosh!


    Lloyd was unwilling to ept defeat and gathered his strength to attack again.


    This time, he used the family’s secret technique. It was swift as the wind, invasive as fire, with


    unpredictable movements.


    The Insect Ruler continued to smile as he made his move, effortlessly dissolving the attack into


    nothingness. Then, he skillfully reached out and grabbed Lloyd’s right hand like a w.


    Lloyd paled and was forced to retreat.


    Riiip…


    Têxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    His sleeve was torn into five gashes, hanging in strips.


    Seeing this, Lloyd finally epted defeat. “Insect Ruler, you are indeed powerful!”


    If the Insect Ruler had not held back, his entire right arm would have been crippled. He had no choice


    but to concede.


    “So…” The Insect Ruler smiled and said, “Am I qualified to cooperate with you now?”


    “Of course!” Lloyd was genuinely happy to find such a powerful ally and praised sincerely, “With your


    help, my heart is much more at ease. I look forward to working with you.”


    “Likewise.”


    Then, the two exchanged augh. A conspiracy that would sweep across the Obaro continent and


    affect Florence had officially begun.


    In the mysterious ce under the icy pool of Tartarus.


    “Phew…”


    Luna suddenly opened her eyes, revealing a starry and ever–changing brilliance. She had finally


    finishedprehending the Lamiai n’s secret technique that themia passed on to her!


    If she used the power of the demon snake and themia to activate these secret techniques, coupled


    with the terrifying Sanguis de, she would be unstoppable!


    Then, Luna dug up a thickyer of ice and made a grave to bury themia inside.


    “Master… Although we’ve only met for a day, I will never be able to repay you for the secret technique


    you taught me and the inner energy you transferred to me, as well as your immense/help.


    “When I leave, I’ll definitely develop and promote the Lamiai n’s secret arts. Please rest in peace,


    Master!”


    Then, Luna paid her respects. After that, she looked at the tranquil blue water outside the cave.


    “Hubby, I’ming to save you!”


    Luna’s face showed a confident and anticipating expression as she plunged into the water.


    Ssh…


    Swoosh, swoosh…
