Subaru Natsuki, who returned from the new Three Kingdoms

After an unknown amount of time, the two finally arrived at the bottom of the stairs, the basement level of the Sage's Tower.

Two forks in the road appeared before Subaru Natsuki.

Natsuki Subaru randomly chose one, and soon an iron wall appeared in front of him.

The entire passage was completely blocked by this iron wall.

Normally, Subaru should turn back now.

But for some reason, Natsuki Subaru always felt that the iron wall in front of him was more like a door.

So he didn't turn around immediately.

He then walked to the front of the iron wall, raised his palm, and pressed it down.

A very faint tremor came from deep within the iron wall.

The next moment, a dim light appeared on the wall, and the originally tightly sealed iron wall appeared with a mesmerizing light like bubbles, which eventually turned into fine light fragments and disappeared completely.

Capela's eyes suddenly opened.

She had just inexplicably felt the witch factor within her body throb.

There's something eerie about this place.

She had intended to remind Subaru Natsuki, but then she thought that with her own powers, this man shouldn't be so easy to kill.

Why not take this opportunity to make this man suffer a little?

So she remained silent.

But in her anger, she didn't notice that the moment the iron wall was opened, her brow furrowed involuntarily...

Subaru Natsuki, on the other hand, was completely unaware of anything.

The second half of the passageway appeared before him.

Subaru looked down at his hands.

"So it really is a door?"

He stepped inside.

The two walked through a narrow passage and encountered a second iron wall at the end.

This time, Subaru's hand did not respond when he pressed it down.

He pushed it twice more.

The iron wall remained completely still.

"Ok?"

Natsuki Subaru took a step back and raised his fist to tap the ground.

Boom, boom, boom.

The dull sound carried along the passageway, but there was no response from behind the wall.

Or should we just cut it open with a sword?

Subaru Natsuki instinctively reached for the Sacred Sword at his waist.

However, considering that he was a guest, if he were to demolish someone's house, wouldn't he be no different from Zhang Fei?

We can't expect great sages to be like Zhuge Liang, slumbering peacefully amidst flames...

"It seems we have no choice but to take another approach."

Subaru turned and took two steps, when he suddenly noticed that Capella in his arms seemed to be trembling.

He looked down and saw that Capela's eyes and brows were tightly closed, his expression almost contorted from the effort.

She seemed to be trying her best to hold back something.

She only opened her eyes abruptly when Subaru's fingers touched her face.

Those eyes seemed to hold endless anger and resentment!

"Go find your Rem."

Capela didn't even wait for their mouths to separate again before tearing her lips open and yelling at him. Her torn lips looked like a piece of cling film with several small holes poked in them.

"Let her touch you. But don't touch me!"

Subaru's hand froze in mid-air.

Are you still angry about what just happened...?

"Shouldn't I be angry?"

With each word she spoke, the crack in her mouth widened, and her voice became hoarse as her tone rose.

"You reprimanded me in front of her and forced me to apologize to her!"

“Rem is of noble status, and I had no choice but to do so at the time.”

She paused for a moment, then burst out laughing.

The laughter was sharp and piercing, causing the wound at the corner of her mouth to tremble.

"Of noble status?"

"Do you think I'm a fool?"

Her remaining chest heaved rapidly, and her voice grew louder and louder.

"You don't like me at all! You're always pretending to like me, but when you see your Rem, you'll turn around and scold me for her sake!"

"You're just like those guys before you. All you ever care about is this face and this body that can be changed at will. Nobody cares who's inside!"

Before Subaru could speak, Capella spat at him first.

She seemed to have a lot of grievances, unease, and resentment that she wanted to express.

"Seal it into a bead, hang it on your waist, and release it when needed. When you want to ride it, I'll transform into a dragon."

"That's what you've always thought, right?"

"In your eyes, I'm just a good-looking animal that happens to be useful!"

Subaru looked down at the saliva on the back of his hand.

Subaru wasn't angry, but he quickly sensed that Capella's emotions were abnormal.

This anger came too suddenly; we were just having a cold war a moment ago.

If she really cared about this so much, she should have argued and exploded at the beginning, and then gone into a cold war.

Qinghe is an expert in this field.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Subaru Natsuki suffered a lot because of this.

So now it's easy to tell that something's wrong with Capela.

This sudden change in personality reminded Natsuki Subaru of the signs of divine intervention.

The fates of Xun Yu and Yuan Shao flashed through his mind.

After the erosion of destiny, what follows is...

"Capela, calm down..."

"Shut up!"

Power surged forth from Capela's mutilated body.

"Since you enjoy treating me like an animal so much, I'll let you taste that feeling too!"

The moment Subaru's left hand touched Capella, it suddenly became slippery and cold.

Greenish-blue markings spread upwards from the back of the hand, the five fingers contracted, and a translucent webbed membrane stretched between the fingers. A pair of round, protruding eyes even bulged out on the skin.

She finally laughed a little more freely.

"Look, how perfect it is for you."

"Don't worry, when you turn into a frog, I'll treat you the same way, hahaha! It's love!" Capella laughed wildly.

To her surprise, Subaru raised the hand that was turning into a frog, frowned slightly, and then shook it back and forth a couple of times.

next second.

The bulging eyes burst and disappeared, the webbed membranes retracted inch by inch, and the bluish-green skin quickly returned to its original state.

"Capela, don't forget, I now also have the ability to appear in a hundred different forms."

He flexed his fingers.

Capela's smile froze instantly.

Has Subaru absorbed her witch genes to this extent?

She looked at her hand, now fully restored, then at Subaru. The anger she had just vented was replaced by an even greater humiliation.

"Why?"

"You treat me like an animal, and you even dare to use my power to resist me?"

Capela completely lost his temper and no longer bothered to hide the fact that he had fully recovered.

Her size immediately expanded, allowing her to break free from Subaru Natsuki's arm.

The cloak was pulled open, and dark red scales emerged from her mangled body.

The bones crackled continuously in the narrow passage, and the chest cavity, limbs, dragon wings, and long tail grew one after another, pushing Subaru out from in front of his arms in the blink of an eye.

The dragon crashed into the stone walls on both sides, sending shards of rock falling. She lowered her head, exhaling scalding, foul breath.

"Then I'll personally teach you whether a beast's bite hurts or not!"

The dragon's tail swept across.

Subaru ducked to avoid the blow, the iron wall behind him taking the brunt of the powerful strike. But to Subaru's surprise, the iron wall didn't deform at all after taking the hit.

He drew his Sacred Sword, and just as he raised the blade, a massive dragon claw pressed down on his head.

Seeing how deeply Capela had been corrupted, Natsuki Subaru felt a surge of grief and indignation.

Damn fate! It even targets our own mount!

Now that things have come to this, we can only see if we can use violence to wake Capela up!

"I hate the heavens!"

A cold glint pierced through the gaps between the claws.

Before Capella's pained roar could even echo after her two dragon toes landed on the ground, Subaru had already passed over her forelimbs and sliced ​​open the wing roots that were closing with a single sword strike.

She immediately changed her body.

The severed dragon toe grew into several slender arms, and a row of bone spikes emerged from the broken wing root. The tail also split into three as it swung, twisting towards Subaru's body from different directions.

But the faster she moved, the denser the oncoming sword light became.

The invincible cold light transformed into an impenetrable wall, easily neutralizing the attacks coming from all directions!

"Stop, Capela. You're no match for me."

"I won't!!"

She opened her mouth to bite Subaru, but the back of her sword struck his jaw first. The dragon's head was thrown upwards, and the back of its head slammed heavily into the wall, shaking the entire passageway.

Subaru did not seize the opportunity to stab her throat, but simply stood a few steps away, sword in hand.

"Capela, don't be angry! Anger will diminish your wisdom!"

This act of holding back was more embarrassing for Capela than any sword strike.

Dark purple mist seeped from the cracks in the rocks, climbing up Capella's body along with the vaporizing dragon blood scattered on the ground. Her breathing became increasingly erratic, and the miasma fueled the anger and fear within her, quickly overwhelming her reason.

"You like my face, don't you?"

The dragon's voice suddenly lowered.

Subaru frowned.

What are you planning to do now?
