Putting on an Act

Humanity has been utterly defeated!

Li Yan couldn't help but sigh. He couldn't understand how Granat Earl could live for so long. Was it because of those passing hero teams? Or was he hiding in Flamme's Barrier Magic every day?

As Aura was about to use Obedience Scale to turn the guards into members of the Headless Knight Corps, Li Yan silently took out Mana Rocket Launcher from his Alternate Space and, as a greeting gift, fired it at Aura first.

As the Spatial Movement was initiated, Li Yan appeared above Aura and fired a Mana rocket directly at Aura.

With a deafening roar, Aura looked up sharply and saw a Rocket hurtling straight toward her.

"Protect Lord Aura!"

Lugner was the first to react, extending his hand to release a massive Blood Shield. Although he didn't understand how the humans above had suddenly appeared, it was clear that their primary target was Lord Aura.

At the same moment the Rocket collided with the Blood Shield, creating a huge explosion and spewing out layers of smoke, Draht suddenly emerged from the smoke after the Rocket's explosion, his eyes filled with murderous intent as he stared at Li Yan high in the sky.

Deadly threads sealed off the space around Li Yan, and countless intertwined Mana Threads appeared in Draht's hand. The danger hidden in the darkness approached Li Yan, who remained motionless in the air, step by step.

As the smoke dissipated, Lugner's arrogant demeanor vanished instantly, replaced by a cold and murderous expression. Line gripped her great axe, her eyes fixed intently on the flow of Mana around Li Yan's body.

"Release Draht, human!"

Aura looked at Li Yan with disdain. The human in front of her had Mana fluctuations hovering around level 40. She wondered where the human got the audacity to rush forward and attack her.

Li Yan stretched her body, glanced at Draht whose head she had stepped on, and a slight smile appeared on her lips, "Overalls Demons, it's your fault for not parting your hair in the middle!"

Draht gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with defiant murderous intent, his head feeling as if it were being crushed by a giant mountain, completely unable to move.

"Be good, if you move around again, I'll crush your hands one by one."

Li Yan looked at Draht's hand, which was still trying to cut her with Mana Threads, and gently stepped on the disobedient hand with her other foot. Then, the sound of bones cracking rang out.

Damn it!

Lugner frowned, manipulating blood to Blood Chains that attacked Li Yan. Line followed closely behind, wielding her Battle Axe. Facing the two disobedient Demons, Li Yan tilted his head, pondering how to defeat the two ants before him.

Faced with the blood chain attack that was within arm's reach, the boulder in front of Li Yan suddenly burst forth from the ground, and two huge Stone Arms swiftly grabbed the attacking Lugner and Line. As the Stone Arms tightened, all three of Aura's executives were defeated!

"What a magnificent battle! Don't you think so, Aura?"

Li Yan strode towards Aura, who was being protected by the Headless Knight. Without Li Yan's suppression, Draht tried to get up and launch a sneak attack to stab Li Yan in the back. However, the moment Draht stood up, countless vines sprouted from the ground and restrained him. Thus, the boy in overalls, Demons, was left with a regret.

"Nameless human powerhouse, the battle just now must have drained a lot of your Mana."

As Aura spoke, the Headless Knights surrounding Aura stomped heavily, wielding two-meter-long greatswords and slashing at Li Yan.

Looking at the Headless Knight had no head and could only move as a body, Li Yan a sense of disgust. It wasn't just disgust and aversion, but more so, she disliked this act of desecrating a corpse.

Countless vines sprouted from the ground, tripping up all the Headless Knights who tried to approach. Some stubborn Headless Knights attempted to cut the vines to advance, but the rapidly growing and numerous vines could not be cut by a mere few dozen Headless Knights. They were all hung in the air and restrained.

"Enough, Aura, stop doing this pointless thing. Relying on these grunts is just an insult to me."

Li Yan frowned and breathed heavily, looking directly at Aura who was cautiously watching her. Aura gently raised her signature Obedience Scales of obedience.

"Hmph, you weakling, but I can tell you're already panting. You used up a lot of energy fighting my three prized subordinates, and now you're using a lot of Mana to make plants grow and block my undead army's advance. You're at your limit."

As the Obedience Scale lit up, a dark soul and another deep black soul were placed on the scales.

"How can your soul be darker than that of Demons like me?"

Aura frowned and glanced at Li Yan's location. She had never seen such a phenomenon before. Human souls are generally pure white, while only the souls of Demons are dark. In all these years, she had never seen such a dark and evil soul in a human.

Have you placed my soul on the Obedience Scale?

Li Yan's lips curled up slightly. Rather than Subjugation Collar, his wicked sense of humor made him involuntarily start acting.

"So what? You've already expended so much Mana. My Obedience Scale will weigh your soul's Mana against mine; the lighter one will obey all commands and demands of the heavier one."

A haughty glint appeared on Aura's face as she looked arrogantly at Li Yan, who was panting heavily. Even without exerting herself, she was confident that she could overpower the human before her.

"You lost, Aura. From now on, you'll be my pet. After all, I'm quite interested in your Obedience Magic; I want to study it."

Li Yan dusted herself off and took out the Subjugation Collar from her Storage Alternate Space. She planned to have Aura meow and beg her to put the Subjugation Collar on her.

"What's the meaning?"

A cold sweat broke out on Aura's face. The calmness of the human in front of her frightened her. Recalling the details of what had just happened, she realized that his Mana was decreasing and he was already panting heavily.

"I'm sorry, Aura, I've limited my Mana. You misjudged me; my Mana is slightly stronger than yours."

Li Yan apologetically pinched two fingers together; that was the limit of his power exceeding Aura's Mana.
