<strong> Trump Card and Resolution</strong>


    “Out of all these people, you were the one that I felt was the most dangerous. I didn’t expect it to be an old friend!” The female me Magus stared at the faint human figure in her hands, a slight smile on her face.


    “I don’t know what you’re saying...” Jin’s voice was hoarse and robotic.


    “Kerd! I cannot tolerate any outsiders peeping in on mynd of mes!” The zing me Monarch seemed to be confident in herself. A terrifying golden soul force entered Jin’s body with her deration, threads of gold travelling through the faint body as they burst into golden mes.


    The zing me Monarch conjured an illusory scene from of Jin’s body.


    A tinum figure seemed to be seated on a throne within a spacious ce. The golden mes seemed to pierce through the void, descending in that area.


    A low sigh was heard from the tinum figure. A feather appeared, turning into an odd-looking longsword amidst white light. There were feather-shaped ornaments on the hilt of this sword that swung down viciously. The void surged and separated, the pce from before disappearing.


    Jin exploded like a balloon in the zing me Monarch’s hands.


    ‘Kerd? Is that the Monarch of the Skies’ real name? I’d assumed Jin was a Spirit Magus... To think he was actually a puppet. It looks like it isn’t just Melinda that’s plotting against the zing me Monarch.’ Intelligence shed in Leylin’s eyes, and he looked towards the zing me Monarch who seemedpletely fine but was silent.


    ‘But a Monarch’s plot can’t be so weak, can it?’ A hint of anticipation rose in Leylin’s eyes. After all, this was a Breaking Dawn Magus working behind the scenes. Jin shouldn’t be so easy to deal with.


    *Bzzt bzzt!* At this moment, a few pure-white goose feathers fell on Leylin’s shoulder like snow, causing him to freeze.


    Immediately after, a snow of feathers fell down on the ce. The ground was covered by a thinyer of white that even shrouded the zing me Monarch’s golden soul force.


    Cracks began to appear on the boundary of the half-dimension, but the effects were even worse on the zing me Monarch herself.


    *Rumble!* Golden mes burst forth from her body, immediately burning the feathers that drew close to ashes. However, there was still some white that managed to pass through her defences. Her expression changed, “Damn you, Kerd!”


    *Boom!* The feathers exploded, causing her to sway a little. Immediately after, the scorching sun that was her truesoul suddenly dimmed, and the temperature nearby quickly lowered. The oppressive aura in the half-dimension was reduced.


    Brown crack streaked across the faint figure of the zing me Monarch’s truesoul, and even the Monarch’s own aura weakened.


    “So you still can’tpletely suppress your injuries!” Melinda moved forward, an odd aura being emanated from her body as it pounced towards the Monarch.


    “Die!” Joanna was even faster. Her aura had already reached the peak of Radiant Moon, and purple gas converged to form a trident that pierced towards the zing me Monarch.


    “Get out of the way!” The golden mes on the Monarch’s body grew tenfold as exuberant with her cry, incinerating everything the Monarch of the Skies had arranged.


    Afterunching that attack, the zing me Monarch staggered backwards, and cracks began to appear on the golden throne behind her.


    Facing the attacks of Melinda and Joanna, the Monarch’s expression grew solemn. It was as if she was a god when she made the deration. “I am the zing me Monarch. Thews of fire in this world shall be controlled by I alone!”


    Large amounts of scarlet fire particles appeared, forming something on a level higher than a domain thatpletely enveloped the area.


    “You’veprehended thews of fire? Even just a bit is already so powerful...” Leylin’s head hung down a little, covering his eyes that were constantly emitting light.


    He could feel with his senses that the moment the zing me Monarch summoned this ne of fire that was even more powerful than a domain, the fire elemental particles that he could normally control seemed to have an aura that rejected the summons of his soul force.


    This was much more intense than the elemental istion of a Morning Star domain. Leylin even felt that the fire element now had a life and will of its own, and was automatically rejecting his control over it.


    ’Justprehending a tiny portion of aw gives you a huge advantage over weaker existences...’ Leylin sighed.


    At this moment, the zing me Monarch’s right hand ruthlessly grabbed forward, “Law of fire!”


    *Rumble!* A bundle of mes emerged in front of her, seeming neither strong nor very hot. However, it was like the most primal fire in the world, filled with a great ancient aura of leadership.


    The tip of the purple trident sizzled and melted the moment it came into contact with the fire. The sound caused Joanna’s expression to warp.


    The scarlet mes seemed to have a life of their own in the zing me Monarch’s hands, and immediately flickered as they turned into a fiery whip. Joanna’s body was sent flying backwards, a long luminous burn mark on her body.


    “I am the master of the mes, one who has grasped the power ofw. You can’t stop me!” A berserk soul force radiated from the zing me Monarch as if to prove her point.


    Melinda took several steps backwards. The soul force at the Breaking Dawn realm had caused a bacsh to her hand, and two streams of blood dripped from her eyes.


    She quickly retreated, and transmitted to Leylin, “You’re not going to fight back?”


    “I can do that, but what benefits will you give me?” Leylin’s arms were bunched together as he stared at Melinda coldly.


    “What do you want?” Melinda was about to go crazy. At this point, Leylin was still ignorant of the big picture. Did he not know that once the zing me Monarch killed her and Joanna, he wouldn’t be able to escape either?


    “I want the method you used to divide your truesoul and sever the soul!” Leylin was very confident that he could flee, which was why he was in no hurry and was even bargaining for the best benefits.


    With his strength, he was confident he could escape even the zing me Monarch at her peak, much less now when she was iplete.


    He was rather interested in the technique of soul separation that she possessed. Though he wouldn’t do it himself, it would be a good supplement for his database.


    “Alright!” Melinda agreed to Leylin’s condition unhesitatingly. As of now, the priority was eliminating the zing me Monarch. No matter how important the technique of severing souls was, it was just some information. There was obviously no issue at all.


    This was not all. Leylin instantly sensed Melinda’s sincerity.


    [Beep! Discovered spiritual force data interface. Allow transmission?] The A.I. Chip asked robotically.


    After Leylin chose to allow the transmission,rge amounts of information instantly emerged in his mind. Though he did not go through it in detail, the A.I. Chip’s scans showed that this was the real deal.


    “The power ofws can only be dealt with byws.” The grey ring on Leylin’s right hand exploded and a puff of fog appeared, forming a grey world that contended with the opposing Monarch’s me ne.


    “A rank 6 bloodline spell?” Grey fog and scarlet mes each consumed the energy of the other, and space itself was torn apart where these two tremendous domains met. A cry sounded from the zing me Monarch’s side.


    “Darned bloodline Warlocks! I should havepletely destroyed you long ago!” These words that were filled with hatred did not cause Leylin to stop. He smiled instead, “I’ve always loved listening to the anguish and ire of those who want to eliminate me. It means they’repletely defeated...”


    Even if Leylin had sealed a bloodline imprint from Bevis’ Misty Fog Giant bloodline in the ring, he could onlyunch two attacks. One had been used on the zing me Monarch’s clone, and the other was being employed here.


    ‘A.I. Chip, focus on collecting information!’ Leylin ordered. With the Chip as a medium, Leylin could somewhat sense and manipte thews of fog. How could he not record such precious information?


    [Beep! Beginning to record under Laws of Fog...] the A.I. Chip quickly intoned.


    At this moment,rge amounts of grey fog formed a monster with three heads that was under Leylin’s control. Toxins, lightning, and frost were being spewed out by these heads, striking the me ne.


    Even stray energy from the toxins, lightning, and frost caused Melinda and Joanna to retreat in a hurry, afraid to get hit.


    “My bloodline imprint only has one attack left. If you have any methods, use them now. I’ll break through the opponent’s defensivews.” Leylin stared at Melinda and Joanna without much emotion. The three-headed monster roared and tore at the me ne, revealing the main body of the zing me Monarch.


    *Whoosh!* A sharp grey w descended and extinguished the mes that the zing me Monarch had summoned, and even tore apart the me shackles.


    At this moment, a trace of astonishment appeared on the Monarch’s confident face. She had evidently never thought that Leylin’s control over the power ofws would grow this quickly.


    “Brother, wait for me! I am about to be done with my vengeance!”


    A deep hatred rose in Joanna’s eyes for the zing me Monarch. She pounced forward, streams of purple gas appearing from her back to form a gigantic nt that was simr to the flower on her forehead.
