Millennium Witch.

Chapter 82 - 82 - Secret
When Yvette released the Spider Witch and placed her on the rooftop of a ruined building, Dugrabi also recovered and flapped its wings, flying in that direction.

It is worth mentioning that only a small part of the dragons' ability to fly comes from the airflow generated by flapping their wings. The majority of their ability stems from a unique innate ability, or rather, a wind elemental technique imprinted deep within their genes, which is considered an early manifestation of "dragon language magic".

In other words, without magic, dragons cannot fly; they can only glide.

Of course, Dugrabi hasn't reached that point yet.

After landing beside the teacher, Dugrabi looked at Abella kneeling on the ground in a humble posture and immediately understood what had happened. He was stunned for a moment, then burst into loud laughter: "Hahahaha, weren't you very arrogant just now? Didn't you say that even the teacher couldn't beat you? Eh? Why are you kneeling down?"

Its mocking remark immediately drew the attention of Abella, who had been weeping and wailing.

She glared at it with wide eyes and arched eyebrows, her meaning clear—it's one thing that I can't beat your teacher, but who do you think you are, an elite-level divine heir, daring to be so disrespectful and mock her, a dignified lord? Have you forgotten who was just tormenting you?
But when she thought about how she was a prisoner and how her evolution factors had been completely plundered, and that she might no longer be considered a lord, she reluctantly turned her face away, not wanting to clash with this hateful dragon beast.

Her current situation is rather special. To use a cultivation novel analogy, she has a very high realm, but her cultivation level is gone, and she needs to cultivate it back. This can be restored through eating, but it will take a long time.

Whether she needed to switch allegiance to the new leader or not, she didn't care. In fact, she thought it was better this way. What difference did it make who she served as a dog? As long as she could escape this calamity, she would still have a chance to make a comeback in the future. It wouldn't be too late to cause trouble for this dragon beast then!

Meanwhile, Dugrabi persisted. Seeing that the Spider Witch was ignoring him with a cold face, it leaned closer and said in a cheeky tone, "Haha, that's exactly what I wanted to see, that's the expression you're making right now! Yes, yes, yes, you have to keep it up!"

Abella took a deep breath, thinking that a man can be killed but not humiliated... Well, for the heirs of the gods, dignity may be the least important thing; living is always the most important thing.

Taking a step back brings calm and tranquility; enduring a moment opens up a vast and boundless horizon!
"We can talk later, let's leave here first." Yvette looked into the distance. Nothing was approaching from the direction of the city center, but from another direction, a huge figure was already faintly visible.

She knew that it was the Mountain Whale Lord, one of the three Mother Nest Guardians, whose territory was the closest, so he would be the first to come to her aid if anything happened.

She had already used up about 4500 units of aberrant magic to capture the Spider Witch, and by extension, hunting other lords would likely consume about the same amount of magic.

Of course, unless there are special circumstances, she would choose to use her mage abilities to fight a war of attrition with the opponent first, and then use her Black Eye ability to finish them off when the opponent is low on health.

But at the center of the Kux is a mysterious sixth-stage ruler. What level of strength does it possess? If I were to face it, would I definitely be able to win?

Even if we can win, are we guaranteed to kill them?
Even if we can kill them, are we guaranteed to recoup our costs?

Moreover, who knows what secrets are hidden in the center of Cux? Otherwise, why would the highest-ranking monarch among the aberrations, the "King of the Sea and Sky," send a sixth-stage commander to guard this remote area?
Therefore, from both a safety and cost-benefit perspective, it's best to leave now.

……

Leaving the snow-covered, ice-like city of Cooks, and approaching the area where the mountains are located, the gentle spring rain fell on Yvette's face again, which she blocked with wind magic.

Instead of returning directly to the Puppet Kingdom, at Yvette's instruction, Dugrabi carried the two to a ruined ancient site.

Entering one of the black buildings constructed of metal, after the rainwater was blocked by the broken metal panels and only a small portion seeped into the room, Yvette turned to look at the Spider Witch.

At this moment, the Spider Witch was soaking wet, her long, dark hair clinging to her face, making her look rather disheveled. She was bending over, rolling up her skirt to drain the water, and through the chest of her black dress, Yvette could see a detail beneath her clothing: several black insect armor covering her skin, completely concealing her vital private parts.

Yvette was somewhat disappointed, but she also felt that it should be so, since the Spider Witch was a mutant, and she had to retain something to show that she was not human.

Although she felt that the original purpose of these shells was to be used as underwear, otherwise why not just cover the whole body with them...

Noticing Yvette's gaze, Abella looked up and blinked in confusion. Yvette casually looked away and asked calmly, "If you... if you disappeared, what would your superior's 'commander's' reaction be?"

“Commander Purple? I…I don’t know.” Abella answered somewhat fearfully. “Don’t know?” Yvette was puzzled, thinking, you don’t even know whether your superior will care about you or not?

Meanwhile, Dugrabi immediately shouted, seizing the opportunity, "Teacher, she's not being honest! I'll interrogate her for you! I guarantee she'll behave and tell you everything!"

"Get out... I'm not lying! I really don't know!" Abella was furious. This wretched dragon was so annoying. She hurriedly added, "You...you..."

“My name is Yvette Losivia,” Yvette said.

“Lady Loshivia, you were able to subdue me so easily, you must also be a commander in the vicinity, right? If you are both commanders, Commander Zi might not necessarily go to war with you, and Cux’s situation is rather special.”

"special?"

“Yes, it involves a little secret… but you are also the commander, so you should be able to guess it,” Abella said hesitantly.

“Go on,” Yvette thought to herself, “You overestimate me.”

"You know, the monarch of Black Tide Continent has not yet been born... the monarch's position here is vacant."

"Hmm." Yvette nodded expressionlessly, but was inwardly taken aback.

What do you mean the monarch's position is vacant...? Isn't the monarch a rank that can be evolved once enough mutation factors are accumulated?

Is there a fixed limit? Are there special evolutionary conditions?
Or is it just a certain position?

"What do you mean? The monarch's position is vacant? Didn't you earn that position through your own efforts?" Dugrabi asked on behalf of Yvette. It didn't know if its teacher needed to know this information, which might sound a bit basic, but it didn't care, as it was very curious itself.

Abella glanced disdainfully at the black dragon, thinking to herself that elites are indeed elites; even this was unknown to them. She herself had learned a great deal of important information long ago during her own advancement. This, too, was a manifestation of the difference in rank among the divine offspring.

Then, swallowing her anger, she explained to Dugrabi, "The goddess has bestowed nine monarchical positions upon her children."

"Goddess? You mean the Witch of the End? And what are the Nine Monarchs?" Dugrabi asked.

"The Witch of the End? How could you call her a goddess?" Abella looked at it in surprise. Judging from her tone, it seemed that this title was quite disrespectful to the goddess.

"So what? I'm not one of you evil demons created by the evil gods. I'm a noble dragon, you understand?" Dugrabi said, feeling that the image of the dragon race was still very distinct, and it could be quickly distinguished from the ugly and disgusting appearance of the evil demons.

Before, when the situation was unclear, it was understandable that it pretended to be a demon, but now that the spider witch has been captured, it finally doesn't want to pretend anymore—as long as the teacher's disguise doesn't give itself away.

"Dragons? You're from the New World?!" Abella exclaimed in astonishment.

The New World? This must be the human realm, right? Dugrabi thought for a moment, then said proudly, "Yes, so what?"

“Heh…hehehe…” Abella didn’t answer immediately, but suddenly laughed a few times before coldly saying, “So you came from the New World. No wonder you look different from the average elite…but don’t be too happy yet.”

She paused, then gave a somewhat terrifying look, staring at Dugrabi, and said, word by word, "The goddess has awakened, the gates to a new world are about to open... Prepare to face the coming of the end, you pathetic ants!"
