And undeniably strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two half-transformed dragons stared at each other with momentary speechlessness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mariana clenched her clawed hands, and the very atmosphere turned heated because of the fire from her scales and wings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I feel incredible, Adonis! I never imagined one day I would be part of the Apex race. Thank you,\" she said, looking extremely touched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pinched his nose. \"I know. Now, shall we go and capture those bandits?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She flapped her newborn wings once, nodding excitedly. \"Yes. Let’s go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In order to keep their draconic powers a secret, both of them transformed back to their original human forms, then headed toward the volcanic mountain on foot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could not use that form to fly yet, as they were still inexperienced and lacked the Ether to sustain flight for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That being said, they were very confident about taking the bandits down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adonis and Mariana approached the volcanic mountain under cover of dusk. The ground grew warmer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cracks in the rock glowed faintly orange, releasing thin plumes of sulfur-scented steam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bandits’ camp sat in a wide caldera halfway up the slope, ringed by crude wooden barricades, flickering torches, and roughly thirty tents of patched leather and stolen goods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From their vantage behind a jagged outcrop, they counted heads and found out approximately forty-seven bandits total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of them wore mismatched leather armor, chain scraps, stolen knight plates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the name of weapons, thye have several rusty swords, crossbows and crude fire-lances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some bandits patrolled the perimeter in pairs, looking bored but alert enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the camp’s center stood a large bonfire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From it, sounds of sizzling meat reached their ears, alongside their laughter:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, did you see that old man’s face when we pulled the cow? She was practically weeping on the floor saying it was her only livelihood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How pathetic! You just robbed a cow from an old woman, while today I killed a family and snatched their gold. It was very fun.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, I also killed a woman today, and she was pregnant. Who’s more ruthless now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A burly ugly man clicked his tongue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk, tsk, you call that ruthless? Yesterday, I raped a little girl in the woods while she was gathering firewood. It’s a pity she committed suicide by hanging herself from a tree.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing them, even Adonis’s blood boiled. Mariana’s eyes became cloudy with unshed tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t help but imagine how much pain and suffering those victims had endured at these bandits’ hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is so cruel... I won’t let them breathe in my Kingdom a second longer. I will kill them with my own hands.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finished saying, she stood up to attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Adonis stopped her by grabbing her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s prepare a plan, Maria. They might be weak, but charging amidst forty-seven people is reckless. I also want to kill them, but wait until we get an opening. Also, we haven’t found the bandit leader yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh heh, I’m here, pretty boy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of a sudden, a chilling voice echoed, and Adonis felt a chill on his neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From behind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening on his instincts, Adonis tried to dodge by ducking his neck forward, but—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Slice!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Spurt!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite his best effort, a thin cut landed on the back of his neck, spraying red blood into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Adonis!\" Mariana screamed, eyes spitting fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She immediately slashed down with her Astral Dominion Sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Booom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With just a single slash, her silver sword created an explosion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bandit leader’s dark eyes flickered with surprise, then he barely dodged the terrifying Sword Art from the Stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like its name suggested, Mariana could literally summon the power of the stars and use them as destructive star force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her Sword Art: \"Radiant Explosion!\" left no room for mercy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the extremely tough rocky surface of the mountain scorched and formed a crater twenty meters in diameter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt as though a fallen meteor had struck the area just now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bandits nearby felt cold sweat on their backs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the hell! Who is this girl?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They looked at the furious pink-haired beauty with bafflement as she secured Adonis in her arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Adonis, are you okay?\" she asked nervously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, I’m fine. This much cut is nothing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adonis clutched the back of his neck, where blood was still dripping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after forcing his body to stitch together, the wound vanished miraculously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nonetheless, the pain was real. Splitting, burning pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt as though he had just broken out from the jaws of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh ho, what is this? A special constitution?\" the bandit leader, still wrapped in shadow and tattered clothes, muttered with cruel amusement in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze turned to Mariana with greater interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And did you just use Star Force, little beauty? To my knowledge, there’s only one family that has the legacy Swords of Stars.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mariana let out a cold snort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes. You guessed it right. I am a Princess of this Kingdom. And today, for hurting my beloved you’re going to die.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that she charged, her body turning into a streak of silver and pink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the bandit leader’s shadow sword clashed with her Astral Sword’s destructive might, another explosion happened and he flew away like a sack of potatoes, crashing into the mountain’s base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Adonis had to blink once or twice to process her combat might.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was definitely not playing around when she said she would kill the bandit leader.\u003C\u002Fp>",1061,"2026-05-30T07:20:36.276Z","2026-06-01T04:30:37.594Z",1,"novelbin.me","85e2423ce2cd77110d618925ae2910d8005131af6be7080dda6e566e0f99ab2a","sss-rank-harem-sword-my-lustful-life-with-legend-chapter-57","sss-rank-harem-sword-my-lustful-life-with-legend-chapter-103",200,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsss-rank-harem-sword-my-lustful-life-with-legend-cover.jpg"]
