Become their wicked yet gentle lord.

For example, if five or six of the three souls and seven spirits are missing.

Just then, a firework suddenly exploded in the distant sky.

Chapter 20.5 Side Story: Megan's Defeat and Torture

"I'll do anything! Please! Don't kill me! Don't torture me!"

Ryuka looked at the beautiful, mature female knight's face contorted in a tearful expression, her black eyeliner washed away by tears, leaving several black tear streaks that spread humiliatingly around her eyes and cheeks.

"Well then, it all depends on your sincerity..."

Sincerity? Megan understood what that meant, but she still clung to a sliver of hope: "If I agree to your request... could you let me go back afterwards?"

Seeing her evasive look, Liu Xia snorted coldly, grabbed her chin, and even though she was kneeling, the beautiful knight's head was still quite high. Liu Xia slammed her head to the ground.

Ryusha first told Kira and Hetia, who were still watching, to go and meet up with Kania, and then looked at Megan, who was covered in mud, by herself.

"You really are delusional. It seems I need to bring you back to reality."

Looking into the boy's cold eyes, Megan felt an overwhelming fear creeping into her heart; she felt like she was in a nightmare...

Ryusha sat on the ground, bandaging her hand. Although she could get treatment from Lindsay when she got back, she still needed to deal with the situation right now.

Megan's distressed sobs came from above. Ryusha finished bandaging herself and looked up. In front of her was a long-handled battle axe stuck upside down in the ground.

The entire axe was buried solidly in the ground, leaving only the two-meter-long handle standing upright on the ground, its thick handle resembling a flagpole.

Ryuka looked up, admiring her 'masterpiece'.

The first thing that catches the eye is a pair of large, beautiful feet. Although they are a bit big, the skin is well-maintained, the arches and soles are perfectly fleshy, and even the pink toes and soft red heels are very pleasing to the eye.

The soles of her delicate feet were gripping the thick axe handle tightly, soles facing each other, the veins on her fair insteps bulging. Sweat made her feet slippery, and Megan could only strain with all her might, causing her taut, long calves to tremble uncontrollably…

The reason why Megan's chubby buttocks were sitting on the counterweight ball at the end of the long handle, her entire weight pressing down on it, would be unbearable even for a great knight. Because only a small portion of her body was sitting on the ball.

So her sexy, muscular legs were forced to open wide, gripping the axe handle tightly from below to prevent her body from falling and being pierced.

However, Ryuga only allowed the soles of her feet to touch the long handle. Therefore, her thighs were spread wide in a diamond shape, and she desperately gripped the axe handle with the soles of her feet.

All around her were countless ice spikes protruding from the ground; if she fell, she would surely die.

Seeing Megan's comical posture, Ryuka slowly stood up, conjuring a long ice spike in her hand, and teased Megan with its tip...

"Speak, tell me what you know about the territory of Sochi, the Third Prince's faction, and of course, your Countess aunt—her personality, the number of troops she commands..."

"I'll tell you... I'll tell you everything..."

Ryuu squinted, showing no pity for the female knight, and slowly extracted the information he wanted. In the end, he also demanded that she reveal her past crimes.

But Meghan still harbored illusions, avoiding the easy path and speaking hesitantly and dishonestly...

She only wanted to stall for time, until the duel ended, or until the Countess arrived with her troops to rescue her. The intelligence she provided only contained information that was common knowledge; the crucial details were evasive and ambiguous.

And her past disgusting behavior... to describe it as torture and violence is too simplistic; it was downright crimes against humanity. Megan didn't dare imagine how Ryūka would treat her if she spoke out.

"Looks like you're not being honest." Ryusha threatened Megan with an ice spike, poking her all over.

"Well……"

The cold, sharp sensation from the tip made Megan tremble even more. Her foot slipped, and a heavy pressure came from between her legs, startling her so much that she quickly adjusted her posture and endured the soreness to maintain her position.

"So, when you tortured someone else's son, husband, and father to death, did you ever think this day would come?"

"I was wrong! Please forgive me! My aunt will thank you! Please!"

Megan pleaded, but her old habits die hard. Her previous fear had dissipated, and now she was filled with resentment towards Ryusha.

That brat! How dare he humiliate me like that! Look at that lecherous look in his eyes! Men are all the same, none of them are any good!

But she also felt a touch of pride, convinced that her body must have bewitched this little devil!

They're still in the duel arena, and Ryuka doesn't have any items to lock down her aura gate. If she can recover from her chaotic aura state and then use her body to stun this brat, she can stall until the 'Bloody Duel' ends…

Escape back to Sochi! Then bring your troops back and kill this brat! And all the women around him and the people of Linhu Territory!

A ruthless glint flashed in Megan's eyes, but little did she know that Liu Xia had seen it all.

But instead of getting angry, he pulled out his belt and whipped Megan hard, making her understand her situation.

Megan shook wildly but had nowhere to hide, and soon her body was covered in whip marks. Fear made her behave again.

"I was wrong! I'll tell you! I deliberately dressed up to be sexy so those men couldn't help but look at me! I then used their harassment as an excuse to pick a fight and kill them!"

"Hmph, so they all avoid you when they see you, right?"

"Hmm...they, they don't look at me, and that makes me even angrier. I can always find an excuse..."

"What is the strength of the Countess's troops? Tell me quickly!"

"One hundred cavalrymen are scattered throughout Sochi! Twenty knights and eighty apprentice knights! Five men per squad!"

"Are the knights the only strongest fighters?"

"No! There's another personal guard! He's a Grand Knight! But a very strong one!"

"Alright, let's get down to business."

Liu Xia reached out and pinched the tender flesh at the base of Megan's thigh, and Megan shook her head vigorously.

There was only half an hour left before the duel ended, and her fighting spirit was almost fully restored. She didn't want to lose at the last minute!

"please……"

Just a little more time! Just a little longer!

Seeing Megan's pitiful and ingratiating look, Ryusha smiled easily and asked, "What, don't you want my things?"

Who wants that disgusting stuff! But Megan didn't dare say no, nor could she say she wanted it. She just bit her lip, put on a pitiful look, and looked at Ryusha with teary eyes.

The tall, mature female knight adopted a pitiful, girlish posture—it was truly humiliating and laughable. Megan knew this too, her face flushed with embarrassment, but she deliberately acted even more coy, hoping to stall for time.

"Looks like you don't want to go anymore, but I can't let you off so easily. How about this, you choose one of these or this, and I'll let you go, okay?"

Ryusha grinned mischievously, pointing one finger at his crotch and the other at the axe handle Megan was holding.

Really? He really would let her go? Megan steeled her heart. Although she knew that this brat Ryūka's thing couldn't be very big, she'd rather have the thick, cold handle of an axe than be violated by him! At least the latter had no life…

"I...I choose the axe handle..."

"Really? Don't regret it."

Liu Xia smiled as she gripped the flagpole-like axe handle, instantly releasing her crimson battle aura onto the iron rod!

The high-speed spiraling battle aura seeped out from where Megan was stepping, causing immense stimulation and pain to Megan's delicate soles!

"Ahhhhh!!!"

Feeling her body sink and slowly being held in place by the sphere at the top, Megan finally realized it was a trap!

Meanwhile, Liu Xia's battle aura was slowly spreading to its peak! If it were pierced by the axe handle that conducted the battle aura, Megan's internal organs would be shredded!

"I choose you! I choose you!!!"

Seeing that the fighting spirit was about to reach her lower body, Megan immediately began to scream in anguish.

"You can't go back on your word. Just bear with it. If you survive, I'll keep my promise and let you go."

Liu Xia showed no mercy, coldly watching the wicked woman cry and beg.

"Please! I want you! I want you in!"

Ryūsha finally had enough fun. She removed the surrounding ice spikes, causing Megan to fall to the ground. Then, she used magic to create an ice pool around her, filled with icy water.

"Wash it properly first, it stinks."

"Yes...yes..." Megan shivered from the cold as she scrubbed herself clean...

"Slowpoke! Are you stalling for time?! Looks like I'll just reward you with that axe handle."

Seeing Megan's slow movements, Liu Xia went straight up and grabbed her hair, intending to drag her out.

"I'll wash it! I'll wash it clean right now!!"

Megan was terrified, tearing her underwear to shreds and frantically scrubbing her genitals with tears streaming down her face...

After being washed clean, Megan was dragged out by her hair, and as she looked at the huge shadow covering her face, she began to tremble...

But the next second, she was thrown to the ground and brutally penetrated, crying out "No!" and screaming, while desperately pushing against Ryūka.

But her violent struggles only provided Ryūka with more comfortable friction from her soft flesh, while Ryūka pinched those huge round balls hard and said with a smile.

"Going back on your word again? By the way, I can also use battle aura down there."

What? Megan's tear-filled eyes widened as she truly felt a wisp of spiraling battle aura emanating from the thing within her body...

Along with the astonishing thrill came immense fear; she didn't want to be torn apart from the inside! To die this way!

And so, she finally broke down... actively catering to Ryūka's onslaught, constantly trying to please this brat she once looked down upon, just hoping to survive.

……

"Oh my god!!! I'm going to die!!! I've turned into a sow!! I'm going to serve my master for the rest of my life!!!"

At the very last moment of the duel, the remaining magic power on the 'Bloody Duel' device transformed into a high-level slave contract, binding Megan's mind so tightly that she could never resist...

At the same time, Megan experienced an intense climax she had never felt before!

The tall, vicious, and stunningly beautiful female knight, a thirty-year-old who has never tasted human flavor, has finally paid the price for her past actions. Mei, where are you? Mei, are you free? Lin, are you there yet...?

Liuxia slowly got up and simply said, "Clean it up." Megan immediately got up obediently, fearing her, and used her mouth to clean up afterward.

Even when Ryūka threw her torn underwear in her face, covering her eyes, she remained unmoved. She just shook her head frantically, terrified that Ryūka might kill her if she was displeased.

"Use your blood to leave a message for your dear aunt..."

Chapter 22 [The Leader's Proof] Level Two

Watching the fireworks bursting in the distant sky, Anjaberg quickly perked up, his excitement turning into a playful mood.

"Reporting, Your Excellency! Target signal has appeared!"

Seeing Anyaberg jump in front of her and salute, Ryuka smiled and cleared her throat in a mature manner.

"Ahem! Artillery Commander Anjaberg! Prepare to fire!"

"Artillery? What is artillery?"

"You'll find out later, don't worry about it." (The rest of the text appears to be gibberish and unrelated to the previous sentence.)

"Yes, Your Excellency!" After saluting, Anjaberg went to the magic catapult and began to direct his classmates.

"Map coordinates confirmed?! Adjust launch angle! Load ammunition! Load magic crystals! Boost magic circle output efficiency to 100%! Prepare to launch!"

Although all of this had been prepared long ago, and all that was needed now was to press the lever, the students still suppressed their laughter and echoed Anjaberg, giving up their positions on the lever.

Looking at Anyaberg holding the lever with a serious expression, Ryuka thought that if she were born in her own world, she would definitely be an incredibly chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) girl.

"Report! Launch preparations complete!"

"Yes! Launch!"

Ryūsha smiled. He had previously told Anjaberg that they should wait a while after the fireworks appeared before launching the missiles. After all, the main purpose of this launch was deterrence, and he couldn't afford to actually injure or kill the Countess; that would be a huge problem.

But Ryuka never expected that Anjaberg would use this time to stage such an interesting drama.

"Yes! Fire!" Anjaberg excitedly pulled the lever.

Click! As the lever was moved, the magic circuit engraved on the vehicle body lit up with a dazzling light, completing the charging process like flowing water.

Three magic circles were positioned at an angle above the vehicle to accelerate the trajectory of the projectiles to be launched. The already charged and taut launch device instantly hurled the pre-activated magic projectiles into the center of the magic circles.

As it passed through each magic circle, the speed of the magical bomb visibly increased, reaching speeds that the launch device could not achieve, before finally transforming into a blue meteor and hurtling into the distance...

Then came the muffled sound of an explosion from afar.

"Whoosh~~~" Anjabergh jumped up and down happily as he heard the explosion.

The last time we fired a simulated munition of the same weight, it didn't explode, and there was no blue light or trail formed by the activation of the magic crystal. The sense of accomplishment was nothing compared to this time!

At that moment, a message came from the [Proof of Leadership] in Ryūka's consciousness.

[With a sufficient number of high-quality followers, the rating "Hero of Linhu Territory" is obtained, and the second-level ability is unlocked.]

Number of high-quality followers? Liu Xia closed his eyes and focused his mind, seeing the second stone wall shrouded in mist appear in his consciousness.
