Supreme Couple In Apocalypse: Undead King & Demonic Queen
Chapter 210 - 210: Co-existing Peacefully

Looking at Rin, Erix, and Lilith, the Elven girl and the rest of the group felt a clear, particular wave hitting them.

It was a wave of intimidation.

They felt intimidated by their eyes, their postures, their aura infused with their unwavering will, and most importantly, the overwhelming sense of power they instilled around them.

"If you are not coming, we will," Rin made a motion to draw out her katana as a bright dark silver gleam shot out horizontally towards them, targetting the entire group.

Blade Sheen 3.0!

It appeared at a speed impossible for them to dodge; even the three Royal-order powerhouses couldn't react amidst the tension and this absurdly sudden attack.

However, the long arc slash paused half a meter away from the Elf girl and the rest of the group.

This action shocked the entire group because Rin was Noble-order, and her attack's range included even the three Royal-order powerhouses!

If her attack affected them, they would be allowed to attack and kill her!

The Noble-order powerhouses thought she was foolish, but…

The Elf girl and the other two Royal-order powerhouses gulped.

"This is your last chance," Rin said as her eyes flickered dark red.

In the next moment, the battle began.

Half of the Noble-order powerhouses rushed towards Rin and the other half towards Erix.

"You are not allowed to surrender," Lilith spoke as she looked at the Royal-order trio with a smile.

"…Why?" the Elf girl asked somberly, her fists clenched.

The man beside her grunted, his face turning ashen. "We will give our loot. L-Let us go."

Lilith just chuckled while her glance went to the middle-aged mage woman.

The middle-aged bust mage woman had her teeth clenched, her heart racing, and her face red. She looked at the Noble-order powerhouses fighting Erix and Rin, but none of them could even land a single hit on them.

Her staff was glowing, and she was constantly using skills to buff the Noble-order powerhouses. 'H-How could they have Super Exotic Elements?!'

"You can continue to buff your teammates,"

Lilith's smile turned mischievous as she said, "Let's see…If you three introduce yourselves with your full name before my two cute children defeat all of your savages, then I will let all of you go peacefully without killing anyone."

"Aleona Zenia!" the elf woman shouted.

"Barkhen Wolt," the man immediately shouted afterward.

"M-m-m-m-m-m…"

'WTF!' Zenia's and Wolt's jaw slammed on the floor as they looked at the mage.

"Maleua Neresha Nol M-m-m-m-mystelina Norahs M-m-m-m-Moragana!'

When the woman finally finished shouting the last word and opened her eyes, she only felt searing gazes on her.

…

The following events flowed without trouble.

Zenia and her party must stay on the big branch and live in their houses. But, in the more than half-empty space of the branch, Erix and others built their abodes at the end.

And then….one day passed.

Inside Trailbane guild's central house, the party members sat on the chairs before Zenia, Wolt, and Morgana, who also sat on chairs facing them.

"Leader, can't we just try to escape somehow?"

"Somehow?" Wolt shouted. "You idiot! Lady Lilith is more powerful than us! Way more! And you all are also useless against Mr. Erix and Miss Rin!"

"No need to call them formally here," Zenia said as she waved her hand and looked at the Noble order members. "Sigh, if only you all could contest against Rin and Erix, you could easily escape."

"But leader, they use strange powers…"

"Yeah, it seems they are called Super Exotic Elements. What the fuck is even that?"

"Yeah, it's cheating. How could they wield such powerful elements on top of having those crazy fighting styles?"

"I am convinced they…"

"Convinced what?" Morgana asked with raised eyebrows.

"Nothing."

Zenia sighed and said, "It's our fault. We failed to recognize the difference in power."

"Anyway, our skills are helpless against their control of time and space mixed with other shit. Leader Wolt, I doubt you can even win against Erix or Rin…cough."

"What did you say?!" Wolt glared at the beastfolk tiger young man who spoke.

"I am not saying wrong," Tegwen glared back, "If you don't believe me, try to fight those two! We are tired of being their punching bag!"

"That's right!"

"We can't do anymore, please. They almost kill us every several minutes!"

"We get heals from Lady Lilith. But then they put us at death's door again! And this cycle just continues!"

"Yeah, I can still feel pain even after getting healed."

"Bunch of weaklings…"

*Silence.*

The one who spoke was a girl looking in her early twenties with long gray hair. She had wolf ears and a tail, and her expression was deadpan.

"Lyra?" Zenia looked at the wolf-girl in surprise.

"Leader, I am fine with being their punching bag," Lyra said. "Because I am focusing on improving myself. They are far ahead, but just like how they are using me to hone their skills, I am also learning."

"You really like to be tortured, huh?"

Lyra shot a glance at Tegwen and coldly said, "I am here to get powerful, not to whine like a miserable bitch."

After saying that, she left the room. "I am going to meditate, but I'll still be out and sparring with them whenever they want to."

"She understands the situation," Morgana smiled. "She knows we can't escape if they don't want us to go, so she is using this predicament as her another opportunity."

"You all should learn from her," Morgana humphed at the Noble-order members.

"…"

"…"

Sensing the silence, Morgana's face turned red, "do you think we landed in this trouble because I failed to speak my name fast!?"

"No! Even if I didn't stutter due to all sorts of mental exhaustion, they would've still defeated all of you in time."

"If you can prove me wrong, I'll do a naked dance, humph!"

…

It was five hours into the new day in this perpetual dark region.

Erix and Rin were already meditating outside right after coming out of their today's Limitless Plane session because they were close to connecting the dots for the first technique of the Battlecraft Art Rune, Four Release of Destruction.

But most interestingly, Rin and Erix were mediating collectively. They connected their Spiritual Senses into a single consciousness frame.

Inside this frame, Rin's and Erix's consciousness interacted with each other, sharing their knowledge and results of comprehension regarding the First Release of Destruction: Celestial Spiral Wave.

It was extraordinarily complex due to the thousands of paths they had to connect and traverse their Mana to execute it, but they first had to comprehend and find those paths!

But they were almost about to finish constructing the First Release of Destruction with their joint effort in comprehending it.

After half an hour, both of them opened their eyes at the same time.

Surprisingly, both of them saw two of their sparring partners sitting in meditation ten meters away on the branch. They particularly recognized both of them since they lasted the longest during all the fights.

The central area of the branch was reserved for meditation since doing that on this tree had beneficial effects, much like Serene Spots.

Lyra was not in deep meditation as she was just reviewing her moves and tweaking her skill formations. She wore a furred white skirt with long leggings and a tight white-brown top.

Beside her was Velmord, a human man looking in his forties. He wore a light-material black robe, but his combat style relied on his dagger and sneaky skills due to having a shadow element and speed concept.

"Come on, let's have our last sparring battle," Erix laughed and stood up.

The others also stood up, with Lyra feeling confused, "Why last? Are you going to the Umbral region of Spada Valley after this?"

"Not yet," Rin shook her head while her hand materialized her pitch-black Blade Eater, which immediately turned into a long, dark red katana.

"Next, we'll spar with your seniors," Erix wryly smiled. "It's not much fun with you all anymore."

"Let's change place, shall we? We aren't supposed to destroy this tree," Erix snapped his finger as three Nihilir Wisps manifested, going to Rin, Lyra, and Velmord each.

The moment the wisp touched them, all four of them vanished and appeared five kilometers away on a wide hill.

*BOOM*

Velmord vanished from his spot after throwing a bunch of black papers around everyone, hiding in the shadows before each of them released a blade spike toward Rin and Erix.

Lyra's body also crackled with lightning and light while red particles oozed out of her body.

*Zoom!*

In a blink, her hand equipped with a big claw equipment swiped towards Erix's head.

However, Lyra only saw Erix's lips curling towards forming a smile that she couldn't fully see before a metal slab with a dark blue freezing surface collided against her attack.

Moving behind her with a blink, Erix's arm wrapped around her stomach before he spun and slammed her down on the hill, creating a crater. But Lyra immediately sprung and hurled her attacks.

Both of them tried their best as usual, while Erix and Rin lengthened their battle at the cost of injuries but gain of improvement.

…

Inside the Fallen Land city's northwest gathering area, Rat-King looked at thirty-one people gathered together from a tower two kilometers away.

"How are they, lord Rat?" a man standing servile beside the Rat King asked.

"I don't care how they are. I am just looking at their number and see if they are at least moderately strong," Rat-King snappily said before he turned to his subordinate.

"When are they ready to go?"

"Tomorrow, my king."

"Fine. Feed them and dangle more rewards, but just fire up them to kill those Noble-Order people with Dark Queen Lilith."

"Make her angry! She wouldn't be able to do anything to Noble-order ants anyway."

"Understood. I'll rile them up enough."
