Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

After an instant of being shocked, Teebald immediately felt his fury light.

"What the fuck did you just say to me?!"

\'Hey Ailsa.\'

Ailsa, who had been lounging lazily just a moment ago suddenly perked up, her gaze lighting with excitement. She had been waiting for an opportunity like this for a very long time.

In a lot of ways, Ailsa and Ryu were really too similar. The truth was just that if it wasn\'t for Ryu\'s life experiences, they might have been indistinguishable from one another aside from their gender.

The both of them were mischievous and thrived off trouble. Both were supremely prideful. Both were duty bound. Both of them had mouths too smart for their own good. And… The both of them got bored of sitting on the sidelines for too long.

At that moment, the aura around Ryu completely shifted, causing Teebald to be taken off guard. His expression warped, the scent of death suddenly breaching his senses and filling his nose. The assault was so sudden that his features had paled considerably before he could truly register what was happening.

Right then, Ryu, who seemed to have had just one person by his side gained another.

A beauty wearing a fluttering white dress appeared. However, she was no taller than the length of a single hand. Even then, with the sharp gazes of the cultivators standing around, not a single one of them could stop looking toward her ravishing beauty. It was as though they had all suddenly been enraptured by a dream… one they had no willingness to rise from.

"F… Fae… Faerie…"

It was hard to tell who had spoken these words first, but it immediately clicked for those all around the instant it reached their ears. The Faerie race was the only one that could exude such an ethereal and untouchable aura. It felt as though they were all in the presence of a Goddess. However, what happened next made them question whether she was truly a Goddess… Or a Demoness.

With a devious smile, Ailsa waved her hand, a strong surge of death qi erupting around her like a volcano.

A pillar of black rose into the depths of the starry skies\' endless reaches. However, even with their sharp gazes, it was simply impossible to see the edge of this pillar.

Ryu\'s lip twitched. Even he felt that Ailsa was going a bit overboard. But, it was rare that she got to do something like this. All this time she could just obediently sit on Ryu\'s shoulders and watch on as he got all the fights. But, the reality was that Ailsa had hobbies of her own as well, it was just that when she melded her soul with Ryu\'s, they had fallen to the background.

Now that her seal was broken, she finally got a chance to unleash. Since that was the case, he didn\'t protest even as his forehead began to glow with a golden-red crown.

In that moment, the pillar split, an enormous magic formation being painted above. Ancient runes, complex laws, and dense Primordial Chaos Death Qi rose up, suffocating the surroundings with an oppression that rivaled even the three battles occurring in the distance. In fact, to some, it felt like it had long since surpassed it.

Teebald\'s expression had turned white as a sheet of paper. The only color remaining on his face was the ugly scar still pulsing down his eye and cheek. Never did he think that he would run into such a thing today. He had been on such a high horse previously, only to come crashing down like this.

He could immediately tell the kind of predicament he had gotten himself into…

"… Quibus … Quibus Faerie…"

Ailsa cackled like a maniac, having way too much fun. But, all anyone else could see was the elegant curve of a young woman\'s cherry lips. She was simply too good at hiding her degeneracy.

At that moment, a large formation of clouds formed, streaks of lightning striking about. But, just as soon as they formed, there was an enormous booming sound that shook the surroundings. The roar of a wild beast caused space to ripple as an enormous leg tore through the void, stamping down with a force capable of trampling mountains to ash.

Ryu\'s gaze narrowed before a smile curled his lips.

BANG!

The enormous foot stamped down, causing shards of space to ripple into the surroundings. The large crowd shot backward, none of them willing to get involved in the commotion. Just being too close could cost them their lives.

Before the creature even fully appeared, Teebald was pressed down to his knees before his face was forced down, pressing into the hovering formation that made up the barricade stopping anyone from advancing.

That was when the rest of the creature\'s body manifested itself.

Despite the enormous size of its legs, they were actually the smallest part of it. The creature was humanoid and had two short stumpy legs leading up to a torn loin cloth that barely kept its decency. It had a large beer belly as solid as a wall of muscles and a chest of rippling pecks.

Over its shoulder, it held a club double the size of its already enormous 20 meter tall body. From head to toe, it was covered in a pale blue skin that sometimes wafted a cold, blue fog and sometimes rippled as blood rushed beneath its veins.

It fell out from the clouds, its squarish face marked with a rotating formation upon its forehead came into view. Just the thumping of its heart made one feel the need to cover their ears, the power of its body existing on a plane all to itself.

When those around laid eyes on it, their hearts ironically stopped beating all together.

A Frost Thunder Giant. A Ninth Order Demon Duke had actually appeared here.
