Chapter 311: The Infinite Dragon God Was Abducted by Him Just Like That
Xenovia had already observed through the mirror that everything seemed fine.
But there was always a subtle illusion, as if it couldn't be tightly closed.
It was like a beverage bottle: after the cap is opened, there's still a rubber seal inside that appears airtight but isn't. Once a straw is inserted, it forcibly widens the contracted hole in the middle.
Right now, it felt as though this hole had been stretched open for too long and widened too much, causing the rubber to lose its elasticity and fail to fully tighten. As a result, if the bottle were turned upside down, the contents would leak out.
This made her double-check several times, only to find that nothing was actually seeping out.
But this feeling left her deeply unsettled.
She never imagined that the so-called punishment would surpass even what Lady Gabriel had experienced.
The purification of the Holy Sword wasn't just a mere rub against the whetstone; it was a direct thrust into the whetstone's interior. Moreover, the evil forced out from the Holy Sword was directly injected into it.
And the abyssal hole near the whetstone also allowed the sword to plunge deep inside and release its essence.
So, was Asia undergoing the same Holy Sword purification punishment as her?
Not exactly. Asia hadn't even reached the stage where the abyssal hole needed to purify her before she lost consciousness. The repeated insertions and releases of evil by the Sword Saint into the whetstone had already overwhelmed her senses, causing her to fall into a deep sleep. (Note: The relationship between the Holy Sword, the whetstone, and the abyssal hole—details can be understood by reading from Chapter 302 onward.)
"What are you doing?"
A sudden voice startled Xenovia.
Bang—!
Crash, clatter, shatter!
The mirror behind her instantly shattered into pieces under Xenovia's punch.
This action left the girl in tennis attire standing before her utterly stunned.
The chestnut-haired girl seemed to be a third-year senior, who, like Xenovia's class, had physical education in the afternoon. She had likely returned to the girls' locker room to change or something similar.
"Why such a big reaction?"
"Sorry"
Xenovia could only apologize awkwardly and moved to clean up the mess she had caused.
"Speaking of which, what kind of person is that Renji-sensei?"
The upperclassman suddenly asked with deep meaning, causing Xenovia's expression to turn serious.
"Who are you?"
Xenovia could certainly determine that this upperclassman was no ordinary person.
"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Kiyome Abe. So, could you tell me?"
Kiyome Abe revealed her canine teeth slightly, looking at the church's female warrior with interest.
"He's just an ordinary teacher"
Xenovia gave an answer that even she knew the other party would never believe.
And this Kiyome Abe before her was clearly the young lady from the famous monster tamer family in this country.
Was she trying to gather information from her?
"Alright, stop playing dumb. Rias already told me he's King Solomon, so I want more specific details"
These words made Xenovia freeze for a moment before she understood—this Kiyome was likely being considered as one of the candidates for the Seventy-Two Demon Gods, which was why Rias had revealed part of the truth.
"If you want to know more specific..."
Before she could finish, both Xenovia and Kiyome's expressions changed slightly, immediately assuming combat stances.
Because the space in the changing room had distorted—something was about to emerge from another dimension.
The next instant, with a cracking sound, space shattered like glass as two figures appeared in the changing room.
It seemed the previously constructed dimensional space had collapsed, ejecting them back to reality.
When they clearly saw the two figures, both women froze momentarily.
As she processed the scene, Xenovia's face gradually turned cold. The position was just too inappropriate.
"Renji-sensei, care to explain?"
Even if he was the lord she believed in, the current scene left an extremely poor impression.
Could this lord of hers have nothing but those kinds of things on his mind?
Even so, he shouldn't sink to taking advantage of such a child, right?
This was truly, truly dealing a massive blow to Xenovia.
Before he could explain anything, the chaotic sounds beside her made Xenovia pause. She saw Kiyome suddenly retreat in terror, accidentally knocking over some nearby items...
Why was she so afraid?
"W-what are you!"
A trembling voice escaped Kiyome's lips as she stared fearfully at the black-haired little girl.
From this seemingly cute child, the monsters she had contracted with were transmitting overwhelming fear through their connection—some had directly fainted, some were foaming at the mouth, others were convulsing uncontrollably.
They were all terrified of this little girl!
Through her monsters' sensations, Kiyome's legs weakened in fear.
"Speaking of me? I am Ophis"
The cute little girl introduced herself like that.
Ophis?
She wasn't asking for the name, but what kind of existence this was.
Wait, Ophis?
That name sounded familiar.
"I-isn't that the name of the Infinite Dragon God?"
This wasn't Kiyome's muttering, but Xenovia's.
"Hmm, I am the Infinite Dragon God, Ophis."
These words froze the expressions of Kiyome Abe and Xenovia. Th-this must be a joke, right?
"My Lord, is... is what she said true?"
"Yes, I just tempted her a bit, and she actually followed me over. So I brought her back."
His casual tone made Kiyome and Xenovia's faces twitch slightly.
This was the Infinite Dragon God, one of the most supreme existences in this world, and he had just casually "brought her back" so easily?
What kind of joke was this? If she sneezed carelessly, this entire town could vanish. If she got slightly angry, this entire country could be wiped out.
So, did he even understand what kind of existence he had just "brought back"?
Why was he treating her like an ordinary little girl?
Look, he was patting her head, pinching her cheeks, and even lifting her up high.
Hey, she's not a human little girl!
Speaking of which, what was that pose just now?
Xenovia also noticed that there was nothing under her flipped-up skirt. Did he take it off?
Was this guy really planning to make a move on a Dragon God like her?
