Chapter 430: Call Me Master

"Don't bark at me!"

Eve coldly cursed.

Her lower body, a thick serpent's tail, whipped swiftly, and Nagas have always been among the fastest in their size class—before long, she was pressed against the monkey demon's side.

Four curved blades flashed with flickers of spiritual light.

They whirled like a whirlwind, glinting coldly as her form moved.

The next instant, the monkey let out a cry of pain!

Four slash marks appeared on its body, but the wounds were shallow—only thin lines of blood.

Her speed is decent, but the power is pretty weak.

【You're also a noob.】

Luo De spoke bluntly.

In truth, his affection for Eve was minimal, adding almost nothing—and that meant she was essentially no different from an ordinary high-level sixth-rank.

Estimating by the brass spirit-measuring sphere's reading, her value was likely around 135 marks.

Sixth-rank falls between 100 and 150 marks.

This aligns well with the values designed by the Dwarf Artisans of the Magic Control League.

But the monkey doesn't match—it's probably around 160 marks.

"It's a sixth-rank peak! And it's got natural armor—its muscles nearly trapped my blades! Just landing a wound on it is already impressive!"

Eve protested.

Saying this, she twisted and slithered swiftly away, dodging the monkey demon's heavy punch.

The fist, larger than her head, smashed straight through a stone pillar as thick as a waist, its force unbroken, then slammed into the ground, carving a circular crater and sending shards flying!

Eve's face changed.

That punch still carried seventh-rank power—if it landed, it would knock her out instantly.

That dog-man just talks big and refuses to lift a finger.

She couldn't fight head-on—she had to use her speed and wear it down.

After finalizing her strategy, Eve darted and twisted, swapping in two emerald-green short swords—obviously poisoned.

Luo De smiled and continued transmitting:

{I'll remind you: most demons are immune to toxins.

Eve's face stiffened. "Do I need you to remind me? Are you helping me or not?!"

【Calm down, Auntie. The priest Naga's spells are strong enough to kill this monkey.】

The demons' attack was more a warning and a message—most were trash, only two or three reached sixth rank.】

Eve dodged while scraping.

She used her speed to entangle the demon monkey.

She saw the six Suntalin members behind her deliberately cutting her off from her Naga companion, clearly wanting to watch her humiliate herself against the demon.

Their gazes were dismissive, especially those two humans—their lewd eyes kept sweeping over her.

Disgusting.

Eve lowered her voice: "Our ally has ulterior motives. If only the priest is strong, we'll be targeted! We need to show more power to intimidate them!"

【I'm your master—I'll help you, of course. But that Naga has never properly addressed me as such.】

Luo De teased her.

"Stop bothering me! We've already done that—and my priest path was ruined because of it!"

【That's your own fault. You refused to call me. If you don't call me, I won't help.】

Eve gritted her teeth, her face flushed with shame.

It wasn't about making love to this man—in Naga thinking, the male gives, the female receives and stands above.

When Luo De buried himself in her, she often felt like the victor.

Of course, that was only at the start—by the end, she'd lost consciousness.

But calling him "master" was different!

That would truly mean she was beneath him!

Uh… well, she already was.

After a moment of inner struggle, she gritted her teeth and forced out: "Master… please help me…"

【Good girl, hahaha—】

Luo De burst into laughter in the shadows.

Tally, watching beside him, scowled: "I call you master every day—why are you never this happy?"

"You wouldn't understand, Tally. What matters isn't the words themselves—it's hearing a girl say things she'd never say otherwise."

"Hmph. So what should I call you, Master?"

"If I must say, I liked how you called me back in Jade City when you pretended to be my sister."

"Oh~ Brother Lord? Then I'll call you that every time I come."

"Since you're not really my sister, the effect isn't that strong. Never mind. Moving to Eve's shadow—I'm going to help her show off."

Though Tally resented her master paying attention to this stupid Naga,

she still obeyed the order.

She skillfully manipulated darkness, moving faster than Eve, easily catching her at the moment she landed, then smoothly spreading over the shadow of her armor.

Eve sensed it and gasped:

"What are you doing? Did that succubus follow you too?"

【Of course. Unlike you, she's clingy. Grab a spear, get ready to throw—I'll help you launch it. Watch out—don't aim at your own people.】

Eve followed orders.

As the demon monkey lunged and missed, her serpentine body coiled and snapped forward with shocking speed.

She instantly shifted position, confirming only the demon stood before her—no allies nearby.

She drew a grotesque red mineral spear, raising it beside her head.

She declared loudly: "Demon! I give you one chance to repent—do you truly think I can't defeat you?! If not for my mercy, you'd have died countless times already! Fine! Since you're stubborn and foolish, I, Eve, shall send you to your end!!!"

The surrounding Suntalin and Naga all turned their attention to her, staring.

With that,

Eve yanked the mineral spear back, assuming her usual throwing stance.

No one noticed—a strange shadow slipped into her palm during the motion.

A man's hand emerged from it, smoothly grasping the spear's shaft.

【Let your master give you a real show—power release… 800%!】

BOOM!!!

A cloud of white mist exploded outward!

The shockwave surged like a released tide, spreading through the cavern and roaring with immense force.

The red spear vanished in an instant—a blur from her hand.

In a flash, it pierced the massive demon monkey, leaving a bowl-sized hole through its chest.

The momentum didn't fade—it tore through the thick rock wall like tofu, smashing through layer after layer, finally bursting through the last wall and hurtling toward the endless coastline of Jianwan, gone from sight.

"!?!"

The spear's impact shook the entire cave, thundering—stunning everyone present.

The Suntalin's eyes widened; their condescension vanished completely.

No…

That can't be right.

This… this land Naga was only high sixth rank?

That strike's power must have reached maximum spiritual pressure—definitely beyond seventh rank's limit.

Even all six of them together couldn't withstand a single spear thrust!

A priest with seventh-rank high spell power… and a spiritual warrior capable of eighth-rank spiritual techniques.

Are the land Nagas of the Bular clan from Jingmo really this strong?

I've never heard of it!

At that moment, Eve, facing away from them, also widened her eyes in shock—as if she'd seen a ghost.
