Training the Junior (Part 2)
"Boom!"
"Splash!"
"Bang!"
"Thump!"
The Empress and her companion had just arrived near the point of magical fluctuation and had not yet had time to investigate the situation ahead when their inner and outer ear canals were filled with various noises coming from not far away.
Recalling someone's earlier declaration, the two exchanged a startled glance.
"Could this be... (Ulu)" (PS: This and the following are eye contact between the two, not verbal conversation)
"Given the villain's personality, it's not impossible!" (Irene)
After their suspicions were confirmed, the astonishment in their eyes was pushed aside, and the empty space was filled with an equal amount of speechlessness and worry.
"Gulp (Duet)"
After using the salivary amylase in their mouths to relieve their various emotions, the two hurriedly resumed their pace and rushed towards the snow-capped peak not far away.
"Heh! I never expected the famous Ulu to have such a weak disciple. It seems she's not much of a master after all!"
"You bastard, you're not allowed to insult Ulu!"
"Ice Make White Ape"
"Roar!"
"Whoosh!"
After easily dodging the opponent's attack, the venomous emperor fired again.
"Haha! To actually use such trash magic in the world, it's hilarious!"
"Hateful!"
"Ice Make White Ape"
"Ice Make - White Tiger"
"Ice Make - Great Eagle"
Driven by rage, Leon performed beyond his usual level, using his magic to weave an inescapable web of attacks for someone.
Unfortunately, Lord Zero Emperor wasn't facing off against one of the many third-rate mages on the streets, but rather against His Majesty Sordil, a man of rich combat experience and formidable strength. Therefore, his attack net was easily torn to Crush, becoming a delicious snack for his opponent and providing him with even greater power.
"I didn't expect your strength to be so mediocre, but your magic is quite delicious!"
Seeing the familiar smile on the other person's lips, Lord Zero Emperor's breathing suddenly became rapid, and his feet involuntarily moved back half a position.
"A monster!"
The stimulation from the other party, coupled with the images replaying in his mind, caused Lord Zero Emperor mental state was already poor, to go into a frenzy.
"Go to hell!"
"Go to hell!"
"Go to hell!"
While dodging the chaotic attacks, His Majesty the Emperor stroked his chin and pondered, "Has it come to this? It seems it's time to wake him up!"
"Buzz!"
The moment the words left his mouth, His Majesty the Emperor vanished from Lord Zero Emperor's sight.
"Bang!"
The Lord Zero Emperor was staring intently at his target with his phoenix eyes, suddenly opened his mouth wide and spat out a little white (well... it could also be transparent) liquid. Immediately afterward, everything went black and he fell forward.
"Thump!"
The next instant, a not-so-broad shoulder appeared in front of him, providing him with a foothold and allowing him to stand at an angle on the ground.
"Oops, it seems I went a little too far!?"
After reflecting on his actions, His Majesty the Emperor laid Zero Emperor flat on the ground and then tossed him a beam of pale green light.
Seeing the villain sitting cross-legged in front of Zero Emperor, waiting quietly, the two beauties on the hillside froze in place.
"Sister Ulu, what are those two doing?"
Hearing the question beside her, the Ice Beauty glanced at the person next to her, then stared into the distance and said, "Sordil is probably using a method unique to boys to help Leon return to normal, right?!" (Old Suo: No, no, no... Miss, this isn't a method unique to boys, it's a method unique to the world of anime!)
"Ha???"
"Alright, let's continue watching!"
"Oh!"
Since the person in question had spoken, the Empress could not say anything and could only stand on the mountaintop and quietly accompany him.
A moment later, the pale green light disappeared, and the Lord Zero Emperor, whose eyes were closed, once again felt the light and color of the world.
"Hmm... Huff huff..."
Just as Leon struggled to sit up, a human-shaped shadow appeared in the light ahead.
Are you awake?
Upon hearing the magnetic, youthful voice above, Zero Emperor froze for half a second, then stammered, "You... you..."
"Hehe! Looks like you're awake. Then eat this!"
Seeing the other party's outstretched hand, Zero Emperor shuffled back several meters, scraping the ground.
Who are you? What do you want?
"Oh dear, it's only been a short time since we parted, and you've already forgotten me? That's so hurtful!"
Hearing the increasingly familiar voice, Lord Zero Emperor stood up and carefully examined the other person.
"Ah~~ It's you!?"
"Ulu's boyfriend!" (PS: Not far away, Ulu blushed, while Queen Irene gritted her teeth and crushed her knuckles.)
His Majesty the Emperor was initially pleased to see that the other party recognized him, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, he slid a considerable distance across the snow.
"Hey! You brat, don't talk nonsense!"
Looking at the enraged, oversized silver-haired boy, Leon asked in confusion, "Huh???"
"You were the one who said it before, how come it's now that I'm the one who's talking nonsense?!"
"Brother, my jealous husband is right nearby. Please, have some decency and spare my life!"
After tearfully pleading in his heart, Old Suo said, on the verge of tears, "You brat, aren't you afraid that Ulu will beat you up for insulting Ulu taste?"
Upon hearing this, Zero Emperor, who had just been full of energy and ready to watch the drama unfold, instantly slumped down.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?"
"It's impossible!"
"What?"
Just as Old Suo leaned in to listen, Zero Emperor suddenly raised his head and roared, "Ulu is dead, she can never hit me again!"
Upon hearing the roar, a certain actor who had quietly logged on exclaimed incredulously, "How is this possible? With Ulu's abilities, how could she..." (Irene: Wow! The villain's acting is so good; it seems we need to be more rigorous in our vetting of him in the future!)
Looking at the shocked, half-acquaintance in front of him, Zero Emperor, with tears in his eyes, recounted what had happened.
"Absolute... Absolute Freeze?"
"That guy Ulu actually used that incredibly troublesome magic?!"
Looking at the person with the exaggerated expression, Lord Zero Emperor asked in confusion, "You know about Absolute Freeze?"
"Nonsense! That was a gift I gave her, how could I not know!"
"Absolute Freeze was actually given to Ulu by you?"
"Ah!"
Seeing Old Suo nod, Lord Zero Emperor stared at him for a moment with wide eyes, then asked softly, "That wouldn't happen to be a token of love you gave her, would it?"
"Ah~~"
"Thump!"
Just as Old Suo, lying on the snow, kept shaking his right foot in mid-air, Lord Zero Emperor blinked his innocent eyes at the scene before him, two invisible figures on the hillside not far away were trying to steady their bodies, which were swaying due to their stumbling.
"Leon, you just wait, I'll show you what I'm made of!" (Ulu's inner thoughts)
"Hmph! That scoundrel really did... Ugh, so infuriating! (Irene's inner thoughts)"
"Bang!"
After recovering from the shock, Old Suo quickly got up and 'gently' rewarded Zero Emperor with a Maruko.
"You brat, you're talking nonsense again!"
Although the voice that shouted had changed, and the way and force of the attack were different, Leon still felt a strange sense of familiarity. As a result, the pearls hidden in the corners of his eyes slid out one after another, and the corners of his mouth turned up in a rebellious manner.
"It feels so nostalgic!"
Looking at Zero Emperor's strange state, Old Suo asked with concern (curiosity): "Hey, is there something wrong with your head?"
"Heh! You can't understand how I feel!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
After offering the other person two more Maruko, His Majesty the Emperor said speechlessly, "Little brat, why are you pretending to be so profound!"
Whether angered by someone's rude behavior or by the other person's inappropriate words, Zero Emperor suddenly looked up and roared, "All you know is chasing girls, how could you possibly know the pain of losing your goal?!"
"Huh?!"
"The pain of losing your goal?"
"Tch! That kind of thing... just find another one, is it really necessary to go through all this trouble?"
Seeing the other party's disdain, Lord Zero Emperor roared again, "Ulu is the only goal I want to surpass. How could anyone else possibly replace her!?"
"Why not? As long as you can defeat the guy that Ulu couldn't defeat, isn't that the same as surpassing her?"
Upon hearing Old Suo's 'unintentional remark,' the extremely agitated Lord Zero Emperor instantly calmed down. However, this calm did not last long before he was defeated by disappointment.
"It's impossible... Absolute Freeze cannot be melted!"
"Who told you that Absolute Freeze can't melt, as long as there's a moon..."
Although Old Suo stopped abruptly in time, Leon still astutely grasped the key point.
"Hey, do you know a way to melt Absolute Freeze?"
"Um... well... I have something to do, so I'll be going now!"
"Buzz!"
The next second, a triangular, tangled snow line swiftly glided across the snowfield and disappeared into the vast horizon.
After brushing the snow off his body, Lord Zero Emperor said with a firm gaze, "Hmph! If you won't tell me, then I'll find out myself!"
After speaking, Lord Zero Emperor surveyed his surroundings and then headed straight east.
"You lunatic, why did you trick Leon into going after Deliora? (Ulu)"
"Besides this, do you have any other way to rekindle his fighting spirit? Or... do you prefer him as he was before compared to now?"
Upon hearing Old Suo's question, Ulu was instantly speechless.
"But what you're doing..."
"Ulu, you can't protect them forever. They have to fly on their own eventually!"
Looking at the His Majesty the Emperor's solemn face, the Ice Beauty slowly lowered her head.
"Have you two finished discussing it? Then let's settle our scores!"
Hearing the terrifying voice behind him, Old Suo was about to teleport away, but before he could make a move, a delicate, jade-like hand pressed down on his shoulder.
"Gulp... Irene, listen to me..."
"Bang!"
"Smack!"
This time, Her Majesty the Queen gave the pervert no room to defend himself, but instead began to play a magnificent Kaba Symphony.
