Chapter 614: Cosmic Beings in Reality

Rod pulled up his pants, a satisfied look on his face.

At the end of the day, Mystra was still human, which left Rod slightly unsatisfied.

To the touch, aside from being a little warmer and smoother, there was really no difference from a human.

His interest in her was mainly because of her title as a deity.

A dark-blue ring of light rose from the ground, cleaning both Mystra and Rod.

The Goddess of Magic, Mystra, frowned as she let go of her crumpled long dress; the soft fabric let the hem fall in a flourish, instantly concealing every view.

The effect of 【Charm】 had not touched her.

Instead, she reached the sage's moment even faster than Rod.

Rationally she wanted to call a halt, but the 【Creation Dewdrop】 could indeed compensate for the drain during this period, so she could only grit her teeth and tough it out.

"I've already given you your wish — what's with the dissatisfied look?"

"Not as comfortable as Tally."

"You're comparing me to a succubus?!"

She laughed in spite of her anger.

Her heart thudded wildly inside her aching chest.

Rod smiled and caught the fist she swung over.

"Enough joking — seriously, if you need energy, come find me anytime."

"I, the great Goddess of Magic, coming to a mortal like you to replenish energy, and in this way of all things — if my faithful ever found out, would I have any face left? Don't even think about it!"

"You don't tell, I don't tell — who'd ever know?"

"What if you use this to blackmail me?"

"I'm already blackmailing you right now — if you don't come find me to replenish your energy, I'll split what happened between us into twenty-eight chapters, three sections each, write out all your private moments, and send them to every major newspaper."

"You—!"

Mystra was furious.

But she calmed down in an instant, her deep-blue eyes filled with grievance.

"You wouldn't do that, and you wouldn't harm me — I know you."

Rod was briefly stunned, then smiled and nodded.

"Of course — what father would harm his own daughter?"

"But no father would lift his daughter up and do what you just did either."

"Ahem."

Rod was a little embarrassed.

Changing the subject, he said: "I ran into the guy who betrayed you back then — Vincent. Can't you just descend into the world and finish him off?"

A look of resentment crossed Mystra's face.

But she quickly calmed down again.

"The Weave's Veil and the offensive against the Otherplane are both at critical junctures — I can't spare the attention to influence reality for now. I can only establish self-running spells by issuing prohibitions."

"I see."

She smiled, the three starlight beauty marks beside one another flickering back and forth, a warm feeling blooming in her chest: "You want to avenge me? You don't have to — you don't need to clash with him head-on. Killing them is only a matter of time for me."

She paused.

Then she grew serious again: "For a long time to come, I'll be fighting the Otherplane's invasion — I won't be able to observe reality for long.

Listen carefully, Rod — powerful Otherplane cosmic beings have already taken root in the current reality dimension, but I have no time to deal with them. There's a Bone Dragon among them — if you run into her, you must run first."

Bone Dragon

Bone Dragon Megan?

Rod's eyes narrowed slightly.

The Curse Dragon Naurin had issued the same warning.

What does Megan want?

He shook his head, not dwelling on it.

After a few brief words with Mystra, he was sent back to the reality dimension.

"Oborozuki!"

Rosaria's figure, wrapped in moonlight, flickered — twisting through the air in rapid succession, barely dodging the massive bone spikes that burst from the ground.

Her obsidian-like chitin exoskeleton trailed streamers of extreme speed.

Her eyes were full of hatred. She bit down hard, half her face covered in insectoid marks, with clearly visible insect antennae appearing.

Her speed suddenly surged by a tier as she barreled toward Vincent, the Chuan Ci Fa mage sitting not far away on a throne built from giant vertebrae.

Grey-white bone spikes spiraled upward, swiftly becoming three "Bone Fang Walkers" wielding twin blades.

Clang!

Rosaria tore one of them apart, but the other two sliced through the exoskeleton on her body, leaving deep bloody gashes on her abdomen and shoulder.

Blood spiraled through the air.

But she pressed on regardless, charging at Vincent with reddened eyes.

Vincent's face showed contempt as he tapped his bone staff forward.

As magic surged, a bursting flame spun forth.

Shadow ribbons bloomed upward from the ground, yanking Rosaria into them — she dodged successfully at the cost of a strip of clothing burned away.

"Soul Burn!!!"

Eve, captain of the Hunter's Shadow Wind, had appeared nearby at some unknown moment. Her broken long blade wreathed in ghostly blue flame, half her body stained red with blood, danced through the air.

Gray-white bones spiraled upward, and in the blink of an eye, they were about to be enclosed by a cage of ringed bone spikes.

"Still coming!?"

The halfling Lily raised her staff high with her left hand, and a massive force warhammer instantly formed.

It violently smashed the ringed bone spike cage into pieces.

The spell's recovery time was considerable, yet in an instant she was surrounded by "Bone Tooth Roaming."

The ground shadows bloomed once more, dragging her away.

Vincent frowned in disgust: "Annoying shadow spells!"

He chanted a 【Sandstorm Spell】 to knock Eve, who had struck the spell shield, flying, then crushed a Yi Mei Mo Fa ring.

Intense light exploded.

It could not dispel Tally's super-high-level shadow spell.

But it did expose her position.

A bolt of lightning arrived immediately after.

Tally, panicked, leaped out of the shadows with the two girls, and the explosion they triggered instantly blasted them away.

The three of them landed in a daze, utterly disoriented.

Tally cursed: "Hey! Shorty, didn't you say you were very powerful? Think of something!"

No sooner had she spoken than Rosalia beside her was about to charge out again.

She hurriedly grabbed her.

"My big sister! Don't fight like this anymore, or you'll die!"

Lily, her internal organs bruised by the explosion, pouted her dirty little face and spat out a large mouthful of blood.

"Just granting you immunity to bone control used up most of my mana. During the last offensive breakthrough, I forcibly decomposed and halted his domain, nearly exhausting myself, yet still couldn't break the spell defense. Now, even if I had a way, I can't use it."

Eve, flying through the air, landed heavily.

She said apologetically: "Sorry, it's my fault. The defensive effect of 【Spell Metamagic】 was unexpectedly good."

As the highest-ranked among the four girls and a spiritual warrior of the Iron-Cutting style.

She was undoubtedly the one with the strongest attack power.

The fact that even she couldn't break through meant there were no other options left.

In fact, Eve was still somewhat unconvinced, glancing at the broken long blade in her hand.

If only the weapon in her hand were of better quality.

Tally directly used shadow ribbons to bind Rosalia, who had been driven mad by hatred, her pretty face falling.

"Then what do we do? I can't tank this guy; otherwise, I'd just run away with the Master."

"Impossible!"

Rosalia roared, her eyes filled with black, her face entirely covered in insect shell exoskeleton.

Clearly, the spiritual technique she used had gone out of control.

"You say it's impossible, so it's impossible? It still depends on what I, Young Lady Tally, say."

"Indeed impossible. No one here will survive."

Tally was slightly stunned.

Turning her head, she saw Rod, who had appeared beside her at some unknown moment, and her smile instantly bloomed, her face full of surprise.

"Master!"

"Rod, you're finally all right," Lily said with a relieved sigh and a smile.

"Mr. Rod..." Eve's nerves relaxed as well.

Even the insect-transformed Rosalia froze upon hearing Rod's voice.

She stiffly turned back, her pitch-black, seemingly inhuman pupils showing an expression of pain.

She briefly regained her sanity.

Tears streaming down her face, she pleaded: "Rod, I beg you, kill that guy."
