The entire continent continued to enjoy the rush of Mana, and many cultivators broke through their limits, reaching levels they never thought they would be able to reach.
2 months passed by, and the Mana Wave rushing into the continent finally started settling down. The Mana Density now was only slightly higher than the Mana Density in the entire Yrniel. Just a few more days, and the Mana Waves would finally subside and the Mana would settle down.
Yes, the Grand Opportunity where one could increase his Cultivation Stage just by breathing air, was now about to end.
Erotica, who had been silently cultivating for the past 2 months nonstop finally opened her eyes, the Mana around her moved and a seductive smile appeared on her face as she clenched her wrists.
The aura around her was approachable, but at the same time, it was weirdly suffocating.
'I have succeeded.'
She muttered inwardly.
Yes,
She broke through and became a Sage.
However, unlike Nawdren, who broke through with a blast, her breakthrough was calm and silent. Of course, this didn't mean Nawdren was stronger than her.
Quite the contrary actually, unlike Nawdren, she had complete control over her Mana.
Erotica was in a league of her own.
Well, she was a Demon after all, Sex Demons weren't known for their strength, yes, but that is only because their ability wasn't suited for battle. When it comes to Mana control, their control was on the higher side compared to other demons.
Erotica then glanced at Maya and Varena, and frowned,
'They still failed to make it huh…'
Well, the two of them were still cultivating, and were close to breaking through, however, Erotica knew it wasn't possible.
It may look like they are close, however, she reached that position a month ago.
Yes, it took her a month to take the Last Step, and that is when the Mana in the air was abundant, now, with the Mana Density returning back to normal, becoming a Sage is… absolutely well, impossible.
Of course, this doesn't mean this trip wasn't advantageous for them.
They are now very close to becoming a Sage.
Maybe 3-4 more years and they would make it.
What should have taken at least 5 to 6 decades, is now achievable in just 3-4 years, it was obviously a ridiculous result.
Erotica then glanced at other demons, most of the Demons who were at King Stage were now Emperors, and the weaker ones, the Experts were now High-Level King Stage Cultivators.
Seeing this, Erotica nodded in satisfaction. This opportunity that she had stumbled on chance, it turned out to be far more beneficial than she thought.
Thinking about all that, Erotica let all the demons cultivate in peace and silently stood up.
Then, she started walking towards Riona's room.
Inside, she found Riona, who was sitting cross-legged on her bed,
"Congratulations on becoming an Emperor."
Erotica smiled.
Riona smiled back,
"Look at you, playing around like that.
Do you really want me to notice your cultivation that much?"
Riona chuckled as she glanced at Erotica.
"Why would I care if you notice my Cultivation or not?
My only target is Nux."
Erotica replied shamelessly.
Riona glanced at Erotica for a while, and then she sighed,
"I still can't believe how relentless you are.
Hasn't Nux rejected you already? Why are you so obsessed with him? You should just give up, Erotica."
"Huh? Why would give up? I like him, I will obviously chase after him. I will get him into my bed no matter what."
Erotica snorted.
"Actually, I find it hard to believe, how are you not obsessed with him? I don't think there are any better men here other than him. He has everything, looks, strength, that attitude… He is just perfect, how can someone not fall for that?"
"He is my daughter's husband, you know?"
"Haaah! You humans and your stupid reasons. If you like him, just go for it. Your daughter isn't selfish, she would share him with you."
Erotica spoke, Riona, however, just stared at Erotica with a deadpan look on her face, and soon, Erotica recalled Amaya's obsession with Nux.
"Er… I guess she would not share…"
She sighed.
"Look, my daughter has been through a lot in her life and now that she has finally found her happiness, I do not plan to ruin it.
Nux might be a good man, however, for me, my daughter is much more important."
Riona replied with a serious look on her face.
Erotica glanced at Riona for a while, and then, she smiled gently,
"And that is why I respect you, Queen Riona."
Riona smiled back.
"Anyways, did you capture the rat?"
Erotica questioned.
"What a surprise, I just ordered my men to bring him here."
Riona replied and at the same time, she heard a knock.
"And they are here.
Enter."
Riona ordered and the soldiers walked in, dragging the chained Nawdren with them.
Seeing this scene, Erotica chuckled seductively,
"Oh? What is this? A Sage being chained and dragged around by a bunch of King Stage Cultivators?
This is so disappointing."
"You bitch, do not ann-"
Nawdren wanted to reply, however, suddenly, his eyes widened in horror as his world turned upside down.
'W-What?'
He still didn't know what was happening, however, he could see Riona and Erotica were somehow moving up… no… not them… they were not moving up, it was him… he was… moving down…
As his vision continued to rotate, Nawdren finally noticed his headless body that was still kneeling on the ground while a fountain of blood was coming out of his neck.
'I… I am dying…'
Nawdren finally realized.
"I don't think I have ever allowed you to talk to me like that, Half Beast."
Then, he heard Erotica's cold voice and felt goosebumps all over his body.
'Wait…'
Suddenly, Nawdren frowned.
'All over my body?'
He wondered.
Suddenly, the scenery around him changed, his vision returned to normal and then, he saw Erotica chuckling in front of him,
"Ahhh? Did I go too far? Well I wanted to test my new powers~
Sorry about that,
Teehee~"
