2 Bounused chapter from golden tickt + 2 daily chapter.

"Brother Pierre right now is in Luminous Academy, there’s a battle going on. It involves 2 Heavenly Apostles and the Grand Sorcerer of Red Leaf Empire."

As Kalina’s words reached Yumo’s ears, the Demon King of Flame fell into a brief silence. During this moment of silence, the young woman erupted.

Just as Kalina had expected, Yumo shifted her attention away from how Kalina had arrived at Red Moon Tower and focused entirely on her "beloved" brother.

Yumo’s brow furrowed, and her crimson eyes began to emit a terrifying crimson aura. Clearly, her anger was skyrocketing like a rocket.

"What? Pierre?! That brat has been missing for so long?! The first time I hear about him in years, and he’s causing trouble again! How many times have I told him?! He never learns?! That little brat! Is he tired of life?!!"

As the Black-haired girl’s anger erupted, the heavy atmosphere within the space skyrocketed. The terrifying energy fluctuations even caused Yuan’er in her embrace to show a hint of fear in her expression.

Fortunately, Yumo quickly realized Yuan’er’s reaction and restrained her anger. She retracted the surging crimson energy within her and made sure not to frighten the child.

"It’s okay, it’s okay..."

With a sweet smile and gentle reassurance, she patted the little girl’s head and then turned her gaze, still tinged with anger, toward Kalina.

"What... what happened?"

"Sorry, Mother, I don’t have all the details. I just received a report from the Vice Commander of the Ghostly Flame Legion. He said that Brother suddenly attacked, and it happened on Starlight Square."

"Starlight Square?!"

Hearing this, Yumo’s brow furrowed tightly, and her anxious emotions surged once more. She remembered that today was the ceremony at Luminous Royal Academy and it was being held at Starlight Square. Numerous students, including Mengxi, were present. If Pierre had acted there, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Although her son’s brain might not always function properly, there was no doubt about his combat prowess.

’Damn it, why did that brat suddenly...’

’Could it be that he’s after Mengxi?’

Aware of this possibility, Yumo became even more anxious. She bit her lip and glanced at the little one in her arms, then used her peripheral vision to take in her surroundings within the independent space. Her crimson eyes were filled with conflicted emotions.

On the other hand, seeing Yumo’s worries, Kalina hurriedly stepped forward:

"Mother, I’ll take care of Yuan’er. I’ll also investigate the situation in Red Moon Tower. Right now, you... should hurry and go to stop Brother."

"Thanks…"

Yumo nodded and transferred Yuan’er to Kalina’s side.

"Then it’s up to you."

"Understood, Mother."

Holding Yuan’er’s soft hand, Kalina solemnly nodded. After a couple of nods, she looked at Yumo with hesitation and spoke:

"Um... Mother, I don’t think Brother would act recklessly. Perhaps he was provoked, or his identity was recognized, or there might be... other hidden reasons?"

"Hidden reasons, hmm..."

Yumo gave a cold smile and turned around, her voice carrying an irony tone.

"I’d like to see what hidden reasons this brat has. He better give me a suitable explanation. Otherwise..."

Today, after being manipulated by Youlan, Yumo was already harboring a pent-up anger. And now, upon learning that her son was causing trouble again, the anger inside her was like a volcano ready to erupt. Dark energy began to emanate from her.

"Take care of Yuan’er."

With a soft instruction, countless bloody butterflies suddenly appeared around Yumo, surrounding her. In the blink of an eye, she transformed into a streak of crimson light, as swift as lightning, and shot out of the isolated space where Kalina and Yuan’er were located. She rushed out of Red Moon Tower and sped toward the capital of Red Leaf Empire.

...

Feeling her mother’s presence quickly receding, Yuan’er, who was holding Kalina’s hand, blinked her innocent, big eyes in confusion. The little one might not be entirely unaware of the current situation, but she was certainly puzzled.

However, after listening to the conversation between her mother and Kalina, Yuan’er keenly latched onto the two words,

"Big Brother"

She had always harbored a strong curiosity about her "rarely seen" older brother. When she heard that Pierre was currently at the Royal Academy of Luminous Night, she felt an irresistible urge to meet him.

The little girl shook Kalina’s hand and, with a beseeching tone, whispered:

"Sis, Sis~"

"Yes? What is it, Yuan’er?"

"Can you take me to Luminous Academy? I want to see my Big Bro Pierre!"

"See... see your brother?"

Kalina’s eyebrows raised slightly in surprise. It seemed that Yuan’er’s desire to meet her older brother was stronger than she had expected.

Staring into Yuan’er’s excited and adorable heterochromatic eyes, Kalina couldn’t help but show a hint of hesitation. There were a couple of factors to consider.

Firstly, there were matters to attend to at Red Moon Tower related to the incident, and she couldn’t bring Yuan’er back so quickly.

Secondly, considering the fire that her mother was currently suppressing in her heart, the situation involving dear Brother was... well, complicated.

After weighing these factors carefully, Kalina ultimately resisted her little sister’s cuteness and shook her head somewhat reluctantly.

"Sorry, Yuan’er. I can’t take you back right now. If we go back now, Mother will be unhappy, and you might also see some things that aren’t suitable for children. So, please stay here for now. You’ll get to see your brother Pierre later. Don’t worry."

"Oh... okay."

Sensing the firmness in Kalina’s tone, Yuan’er pouted slightly, feeling a bit disappointed.

"Such a good girl"

Kalina patted the little one’s head and expressed her apologies with a somehow sorry tone.

Meanwhile, the Flame Demon King couldn’t help but glance in the direction of the east, where the Royal Academy of Luminous was located. She thought about her brother’s possible nightmare and sighed deeply.

"Good luck, my dear brother."

...

On the other side, thousands of miles away, inside Luminous Royal Academy, with the surging dark purple shadow energy, black thunderbolts streaked across the sky, creating cracks. The inexhaustible power swept everything in its path, causing destruction. The overwhelming sword aura and energy impact obliterated everything indiscriminately.

Half of the Royal Academy was shrouded in the oppressive dark purple shadow energy. The area had lost its scholarly elegance and noble atmosphere, replaced by a scene of devastation, with ruined walls and debris scattered everywhere.

Within this vast area, only the continuous deafening explosions and the terrifying roars of Sword Demon resounded. Even if they succeeded in driving away the fearsome Sword Demon, the Royal Academy would never return to its former glory.

Of course, the prerequisite was that the human faction’s strong individuals had the ability to repel the Sword Demon. Otherwise, with the continued battle, the entire Royal Academy might become history. At this moment, the two Apostle, along with the Royal Grand Sourcery Borulov, stood on the ruins, panting heavily.

Clearly, the three humans had already expended a considerable amount of their energy, and they were far from their peak condition.

However, driven by their sense of responsibility, Kain, Bai Yanluo, and Borulov had no intention of retreating. Borulov, in particular, filled with a desire for revenge, was unwilling to return empty-handed. Thus, the three eighth-level experts continued to mobilize the power within them, watching the colossal humanoid figure standing eight meters tall, clad in menacing purple armor and shrouded in dark purple mist.

Under the intense scrutiny of everyone, the Sword Demon slowly raised the colossal sword emanating violent power in his hand.

"It’s coming!"

Kain quickly warned.

The two others also noticed the terrifying shadow energy gathering around the Sword Demon and hastily assumed defensive postures.

However, just as they expected Sword Demon to launch a devastating large-scale attack, Sword Demon’s movements abruptly came to a halt, much to their surprise...

Kain: ???!!!

Bai: "Huh?"

...

Meanwhile, on the other side, Pierre, who was excited and ready to unleash his skills, suddenly felt an inexplicable chill running down his spine. His entire body shivered, and a sense of foreboding inexplicably spread within him, making him stop his attack abruptly. He instinctively turned around, looking around in confusion.

"Huh? Why do I suddenly have a bad feeling... (´-?-`;)"

--------

Sadly this was the only way to fix the chapter.

------------------------

’Hehe~’

’Is someone talking about me?!...’

’Could it be that my lovely little sisters are thinking about me again? Are they missing their great big brother?’

’But...’

’Why do I suddenly feel a chill when thinking about them?’

Suddenly, Pierre paused his attack, feeling a hint of unease, and looked behind him. He had a gut feeling that something bad was about to happen.

"This is strange..."

...

Meanwhile, on the other side, the sudden and unexpected change in Sword Demon’s behavior left Kain and the other two eighth-level powerhouses puzzled. From the beginning, the Sword Demon’s attacks had been relentless, like a torrential downpour of meteors, making it difficult to defend against. Such behavior, stopping the attack halfway, had never occurred before.

"Did... something happen?"

Kain muttered to himself with a perplexed expression.

’Could it be that the Sword Demon had exhausted too much energy?’

’No, that was highly unlikely. Sword Demon’s power was still increasing, and there was no sign of weakening.’

’But...’

’Looking behind, had Sword Demon sensed something from the western direction? Was there other strong reinforcements coming?’

Kain kept speculating inwardly, but before long, he abandoned those thoughts.

"Never mind, overthinking this is pointless. What’s important is that Sword Demon’s attention has been diverted! Now... it’s an opportunity!"

Seeing that the Sword Demon had turned its gaze behind, Kain quickly conveyed the coordinated attack plan to Bai and the gasping Death Sorcer Borulov through gestures and eye contact.

At first, they could still confront Sword Demon in its humanoid form by working together. However, as Sword Demon’s body was enveloped in the eerie dark purple energy armor and transformed into the familiar Sword Demon king, the battle took a sharp turn. Sword Demon’s power not only continued to increase but also completely abandoned defense, behaving like a bloodthirsty berserker who felt no pain, continuously subjecting them to the onslaught of thunderous attacks.

Suppressing them completely, leaving them with no chance to fight back. Even with the Divine Battle Form activated and a three-on-one situation, they were ultimately powerless to turn the tide.
