Chapter 515: Son-in-law?

Stealing Lucien's powers is exactly what Tyrion is thinking about right now. Mira was probably the most talented Naga ever due to her royal bloodline, and yet, not even in the peak of the Immortal Realm was she as impressive as Lucien.

But the Naga King is blinded by greed as he can't see what trouble he's going to get himself into when trying to mess with Lucien and l.u.s.t.

"So..." He smiles and points his trident at Lucien. "To be my daughter's husband, you will need to try harder."

Kamala feels disgusted and anger as she hears those words. It's evident that Tyrion only cares about his own power, so that worried father performance fools no one.

But Lucien seems to want to play that game and smiles back at him. "As you wish."

*Whoosh*

Then he advances towards the Naga King and attacks with the naginata again. The golden glow of his eyes matches the glow of the weapon, and Tyrion feels both fear and instinctive respect for Lucien.

But, of course, Tyrion blocks that attack with his trident and also Lucien's consecutive attacks.

*BAM* *CLANG* *BAM* *CLANG* *BAM* *CLANG* *BAM* *CLANG*

Metallic sounds fill the hall as they exchange powerful blows. The waves of power generated by the fight could destroy that castle, but they are contained by the dark barrier of the Naga King. And yet, the girls feel how powerful each of those hits is.

"It's so crazy!!" Mira comments as she becomes more and more impressed with Lucien. She's been in the Immortal Realm peak before, but her power has never been anywhere near that level.

Kamala's eyes sparkle with expectation while she's worried about Lucien but also happy to have someone defending her and her mother.

l.u.s.t also can't contain her worried expression, fearing that the Naga King could actually try something critical against Lucien. And Tanu, the Siren, fears the same too.

But for Lucien, that's kind of pleasurable. He feels so good about exchanging blows with someone more powerful than him and still makes his opponent respect him.

That respect is something that stimulates Aylin's soul the most as it has nothing to do with any background or outside help but rather is about Lucien defending those precious to him with his own power.

The draconic symbol tattoo on his back brightly glows as he feels himself approaching the next golden gate inside the naginata.

*Whoosh*

After dodging a blow by the Naga King, Lucien somersaulted backward to avoid dark magic hands that came out of the ground to grab his feet.

"Humph!" Tyrion makes a mocking sound and then creates a huge dark magic hand around his own hand before flying towards Lucien, surrounding him by all sides with that attack.

Without the option to dodge, Lucien raises the naginata to block that blow, and the golden glow destroys part of that dark magic, but the dark hand still reaches the naginata.

*BAM*

He feels like dozens of mountains force him back, sweat pours down his face as he uses all the strength he has to resist, but the Naga King's strength is far superior to his.

"I guess you're in trouble, boy..." Tyrion smiles as he has to use all his strength and dark magic to force Lucien back, which is really shocking.

Lucien tries to get all the energies in his body to give him more strength, but besides Helena's spatial and wind mana, he doesn't have any other energies now

[No!] He thinks to himself. [I still have my precious and loyal companion.]

Although Oya has no elemental mana, she has given Lucien a lot of her special energy in the last few days. And besides that, l.u.s.t had already said that with time he could absorb other characteristics of his wives besides their energies.

And that's what starts to happen when white fur starts to appear on Lucien's arm, and his nails start to grow and become claws, just like the time they were getting like Astrid's claws.

[HOW???] Tyrion is shocked, not only that Lucien seems to be turning into a demi-human, but also that his strength grows out of nowhere.

He first thinks that it might be some potion or treasure, but he is in front of Lucien and hasn't seen him use any items.

[Is this because of his other energies?] The Naga King understands that Lucien has other energies inside his body as he does; however, he can only use that mana for attacks and spells and not change his body that way.

The strength coming from Oya's special energy is so amazing, and Lucien starts pus.h.i.+ng Tyrion's dark magic hand back.

"Hahaha..." He chuckles as he mentally praises Oya before taunting Tyrion. "Who's in trouble now?"

"..." Tyrion grits his teeth as his dark magic is destroyed by the naginata's golden light. He realizes that his attack failed and quickly tries to strike Lucien with his trident using his other hand.

*Whoosh*

*Clang*

But Lucien completely destroys the dark magic hand and blocks the Naga King's trident with the naginata's shaft.

Their eyes meet again, and that majestic golden-purple gleam in Lucien's eyes creates an instinctive fear in Tyrion's heart.

The Naga King panics and creates a magic wind ball in his hand to attack Lucien.

*BAM* *WHOOSH*

Lucien blocks again with his naginata, and the ball explodes, knocking both him and Tyrion back.

The Naga King quickly recovers his balance as Lucien crashes into the dark barrier and lands on his feet, provocatively smirking. "Oh, so you want to use wind magic, right?"

"..." Tyrion is frustrated as he thought he was totally in control of the situation, but Lucien looks much stronger than he could have imagined.

Still holding the golden naginata with one hand, Lucien summons his red katana with the other and channels his wind magic in it.

Then he cuts through the air, creating a powerful wind slash.

*WHOOSH*

And in less than a second, he cuts, again and again, creating multiple wind slashes so fast that even the Naga King has a hard time understanding that.

*WHOOSH* *WHOOSH* *WHOOSH* *WHOOSH*

Those various attacks don't just carry wind magic as they also have both a golden and purple glow. And Tyrion knows those attacks are incredibly powerful before he even has to block them.

*BAM* *BAM* *BAM* *BAM* *SMASH* *BAAAAM!!*

He blocks the first four wind slash with his trident, but the fifth blow breaks his soul weapon in half, and the other attacks throw his body against the dark barrier.

Tyrion falls to the floor, and blood runs from his lips. However, his pride is much more hurt than his body.

Tanu has a sad and worried look on her face as l.u.s.t, Kamala, and Mira can't hide their smiles.

Lucien is also satisfied with his performance, but he knows that fight is far from over, so he keeps focused while holding the golden naginata firmly.

Tyrion slowly gets up and wipes the blood from his lips before looking at Lucien with a bloodthirsty expression. "You are really awesome, boy..."

Then a mysterious and powerful red energy begins to surge around Tyrion, swirling furiously like a sinister wind.

Tanu's expression gets even more worried, as does Mira's, because they know what the Naga King is about to do.

'Lucien, be careful!' l.u.s.t's voice echoes in his mind. 'This ability looks very powerful... I've never seen anything like it. I bet that's the bloodline ability he stole from Mira.'

"Don't do it, Tyrion!!" Mira's voice echoes through the hall. "You will kill us all!"

"My king!" Tanu also screams. "That's not a wise choice; don't do it!"

"Dad..." Kamala tries to beg as she realizes the situation is getting really bad. "Please..."

Lucien sees a small ball of dark-red energy forming in Tyrion's hand and feels all his instincts tell him it is so hazardous.

Yet, there is no fear in his heart as he doesn't think to retreat as long as there are people counting on his help.

His determination remains solid as a mountain, and just as it has done with Aylin in the past, that feeling directly stimulates the power of her soul within the naginata, empowering Lucien.

The golden glow of his eyes gets even brighter as he smiles and prepares to attack the Naga King. "This will be interesting..."

"And it will be your end too!" Tyrion speaks while he is furious at Lucien. He can't even think of any plans right now as he just wants to clean up the shame he's feeling.

So he channels more and more chaotic energy into that ma.s.sive and destructive ball of power, making even his tough dark barrier begin to crumble.

Both prepare to attack, but then...

"NO!!!" Tuna's voice echoes again as she quickly breaks through a gap in the barrier and runs towards the Naga King.

Tyrion wouldn't mind killing his family to kill Lucien too, but when he sees his partner running towards him, his greedy brain realizes that it could turn out to be very bad for him as well.

It's not that he loves Tanu, but without her, he can no longer use the ritual that drains other people's power, and as he has already reached the limit of his natural talent long ago, he will never be stronger if he lost her.

Then he stops channeling chaotic energy into that attack, and the dark-red ball disappears as well as the strange wind around him.

"My King..." The siren hugs Tyrion and quickly creates a sound block barrier around their heads before whispering in his ear. "Think how powerful you'll become if we can steal his powers..."

Tanu is just trying to stop Tyrion from making the Seven Deadly Sins their enemies, but he truly believes he can steal Lucien's power. Well, he's blinded by greed.

Lucien realizes that it is a good opportunity to lower his weapon as he knows that if Tyrion uses that ability again, only he and l.u.s.t could escape, going to the purple world, but Kamala and Mira would die.

Part of him regrets not putting his tattoo on them when he had an opportunity, just as it could have kept him and his sisters together when they faced the Leviathan.

However, he also understands that making a soul contract is anything but simple and that it cannot be forced or done with women who have any worries about that.

But of course, Tanu's sound block barrier doesn't stop l.u.s.t and Lucien from hearing their plans. But as fighting now won't end well, they both pretend to reach a consensus.

"Obviously, I wouldn't try to kill my new son" Tyrion smiles at Lucien. "But I had to show who is the boss here."

"Naturally." Lucien smiles back at him.

Tyrion breaks the dark magic barrier, and Kamala and Mira have the same shocked expressions on their faces. They don't understand how Lucien and Tyrion just tried to kill each other but are now blatantly pretending to be friends.

[What the heck?]
