Book 10: Chapter 46: Fusion (1)

“You knew.”

Lilith stared at Dyon with an unconcealed sharpness in her eyes. Honestly, even Dyon felt uncomfortable meeting her gaze. Her comprehension of the sword path was simply too fierce.

Dyon had never really met a true swordsman in his life. There was Delia who practiced the sword, but after awaking her Constitution, her path deviated from it in part. It wasn’t no longer the true swordsmanship Lilith practiced.

Ri also practiced the way of the sword back when she was a teenager. There was even the treasured sword her mother left behind for her that refused to change even in the face of a greater weapon. But, after her mother came back and Dyon used his array alchemy to change the sword into a beautiful belt piece for her, she hadn’t spent much time practicing the sword after that either.

As for his mother-in-law herself, Dyon had never seen her battle, so he simply didn’t know the depth of her comprehension.

Of course, Dyon had fought Diasho Ken. He could be considered a true swordsman. But, somehow, even though he was a sword sprite, Dyon felt that Lilith was on a completely different plane compared to him. She was the very best he had ever come across!

To have reached comprehended the Immortal Path Sword Dao as a Saint!… Maybe there wasn’t another talent in existence on Lilith’s level in the way of the sword.

There was a reason the sword was known as the King of Weapons. Even for Dyon’s War God Avatar tribulation, the sword appeared very last. Dyon had a feeling he hadn’t grasped even a single percent of what the Sword True Weapon will really was…

In terms of power, Lilith stood no chance against Dyon. But if they were comparing their comprehension in the way of the sword, Dyon would lose ten out of ten times.

“Of course I knew.” Dyon said with a shrug. “Well, initially I didn’t because my cultivation was sealed back then. But, by the time I started healing your soul back then, my soul had already unsealed itself. I noticed there was an odd energy surrounding you back then, but I didn’t touch it.”

After beheading Sokzac, Lilith had stormed her way to Soul Palace. She was actually the only one of the devil path geniuses who could do this, the others hadn’t been given a Soul Tag and as such couldn’t use the Mortal Alliance’s teleportation arrays.

Currently, she was staring at Dyon with a furious expression as the Grand Hall. What made her angrier was the fact that Dyon wasn’t only dressed lazily, but she was certain that this was a mere clone of his. As for what the real Dyon was doing, she could hazard multiple guesses.

Lilith’s gaze flashed with rage. “Why the hell not?!”

Dyon chuckled inwardly. She knew that Lilith was only half angry because he didn’t inform her, the other half of her anger was due to remembering the events of back then.

In order to force her into a state of such distraction that she wouldn’t notice the existence of the Soul Tome, Dyon forced Lilith to get naked back then while he healed her soul. She had almost committed suicide as a result and would have succeeded had Dyon not stopped her.

It seemed she was still angry about this.

“Since I’ve already succeeded, I don’t mind telling you.” Dyon said with a shrug. “It would have been very easy for me to cure your soul of that affliction back then, but I didn’t because having you in such a state was useful to me.

“Your Devil Quadrants have long since been my first target of conquering the outer quadrants. Your father might be powerful, but he is the most convenient to make use of.

“Firstly, there’s only one of him. I would much rather deal with one powerful force I can diligently plan for that multiple powerful forces a step or two below in strength.

“Secondly, your Devil Quadrants are the closest to my domain. Even if I didn’t use a teleportation array, travelling through the void toward your territories wouldn’t take much longer than travelling to an adjacent quadrant of the tower quadrants.

“And thirdly, your territory is far too unstable. First, the Mathilde Clan’s loyalties lie elsewhere. And second… do you really believe that that Sokzac’s Clan won’t see anything fishy about his death even if you picked the perfect and most convenient time?”

Lilith stood completely silent.

“Just before he died, your father announced that he would be cutting off your engagement. That much wasn’t actually planned by me, it was just a beautiful coincidence.

“But, what do you think would happen once the fiery tempered Lilith Ravana suddenly found out that the feelings of warmth she had toward her fiancé were all fake? I wonder if the princess would be able to reel in her own temper?

“You actually surprised me. You managed to hold back for several years, likely because you knew the ramifications of killing him directly. But in the end, it seemed luck was on my side.”

Dyon smiled lightly. “You killed him in Chaos Universe, so whatever information his Clan receives about his death will be jumbled and meaningless. But for my purposes, this is better. The longer these troubles can lurk in the shadow and cast doubt on your Nightmare Palace, the better.

“If the Fulgur Clan found out right away and things were exposed, their only option would be to directly run. After all, they’re no match for your Nightmare Palace. But, if they’re allowed to stay and fester …”

Dyon who was monologuing like an evil villain suddenly froze.

“WHY THE HELL ARE YOU CRYING?!” He stared at Lilith with an incredulous expression.

But she said no other words. Tears running down her icy cheeks, she turned and left.
