Kingdom of Heart — Queen's Palace.
"Lolopechka, I'm here to see you!"
Hehe~٩(๑^o^๑)۶
With a thunderous bang, the palace wall exploded inward as Vanica Zogratis rode in atop a fat Dark Disciple, grinning like a maniac.
"Vanica, I've been waiting for you too!" Lolopechka shouted, her voice filled with anger.
"Oh? You think so too? I'm truly honored!" Vanica snapped her fingers.
Instantly, Lolopechka fell to her knees, clutching her chest in agony as a pain that pierced her very soul spread through her body.
For someone so pure and gentle—a girl at heart—this was unbearable.
"Lolopechka!" cried Undine, her face twisted in anguish. "I won't let you leave here alive, Vanica!"
"Sorry, but I'm in a hurry today. I'll have to make this quick." Vanica smirked.
Having lost once before, she wouldn't make the same mistake again.
"You," she kicked the fat Disciple beneath her, "go deal with that water man. I'm taking the Queen."
"My Queen, for your sake, I'll kill him without fail," the fat man hissed, licking his lips with hunger.
Meanwhile, the Heart Kingdom was under siege by Vanica's subordinates. The Spirit Guardians immediately moved to intercept the intruders.
"Xiaolan, I'm counting on you!" Undine commanded.
With a thunderous roar, Xiaolan Dragon lunged, biting into the fat Dark Disciple before he could react, and hurled him out of the palace.
Other than Gadjah, the remaining Spirit Guardians couldn't handle the Dark Disciples—so Xiaolan had to finish this quickly.
The dragon hurled the Disciple through the air, unleashing torrents of flame and water that burned and boiled everything in their wake.
"So scary~" The Dark Disciples panicked.
Even with the Devil's power granting them near-immortality, they could feel death approaching from this dragon.
Still, under Vanica's orders, they had no choice but to keep fighting—terrified, but trapped.
"You're mine!" Vanica sneered.
Her blood spread across the palace floor, erupting into a swarm of Blood Magic: Blood Spikes, piercing toward the trio—Lolopechka, Undine, and Xiaoshui.
"Undine!"
"Water Spirit—Suicune!"
Lolopechka had already transferred her spirit contract to Xiaoshui, empowering both spirits to their limits.
Water Spirit God Mode!
Xiaoshui's body shimmered with azure light, encased in flowing water armor. He wielded a long spirit-forged blade, and two pairs of golden-blue wings spread from his back. His eyes gleamed with cold, murderous resolve as he faced Vanica.
The raging sea surged upward, blocking the blood spikes as the once crimson palace turned a deep ocean blue.
"You're such a fool," Vanica mocked. "If you'd just behaved, I would've turned you into my master's personal servent!"
Xiaoshui pointed his sword at her, sneering. "Kill yourself. My sword doesn't cut vermin."
(▼皿▼#) Vanica's smile twitched.
Where the hell did this lunatic come from? Infuriating!
"You'll die with that mouth of yours!" Vanica unleashed 85% of her Devil Power, her body twisting as Megicula's cursed blood burst forth.
She lunged toward Xiaoshui and Undine, her blood spreading like a living curse.
Anyone touched by it would be afflicted with Megicula's Curse, the source of all curses—incurable and absolute.
"Water Magic: Wall of Water!"
A colossal torrent erupted, forming a shimmering barrier that separated Vanica's blood from the others. Xiaoshui and Vanica's magic collided violently, shaking the palace to its foundations.
Xiaoshui's power was immense—he was the embodiment of magic itself, now amplified by the might of the Water Spirit. His mana reserves were among the greatest in the entire continent.
"Megicula!" Vanica growled. "Do something! Why does this bastard have more magic power than me!?"
Even Megicula fell silent. Her influence was waning—her power fading. For the first time, the Curse Devil began to doubt herself.
After centuries of devouring souls, she couldn't even overcome a single Water Spirit. Maybe waiting for the Gate of Hades to open would've been wiser…
"Magic Area: Secret of Atlantis."
A legendary sea city materialized around them. The palace vanished beneath waves of glittering seawater.
Xiaoshui encased Lolopechka within a protective sphere of water, keeping her safe.
Vanica, in turn, wrapped herself in a ball of blood, trying to avoid the crushing ocean.
"Magic Field—Open!"
But as time passed, Vanica's movements slowed. The suffocating water pressure made it hard to breathe. Her attacks were useless, and even Megicula had gone silent.
She needed to retreat.
Blood spread out rapidly, forming a vortex that opened a Bloody Portal to escape.
"Heavenly Water Slash!"
Xiaoshui's blade gleamed with golden light as it cleaved through the portal—splitting it clean in two.
"Curse Power—Activate!"
Vanica's diluted blood turned pitch black, corrupting the seawater and forcing it to recede. She used the brief gap to ascend toward the surface—above the city of Atlantis.
"Don't think you're getting away!"
Xiaoshui's mana surged wildly as he reinforced his Magic Zone. Vanica was completely trapped—her escape blocked.
"Bye~" Vanica grinned faintly.
Far outside the barrier, three other Dark Disciples had gathered—her remaining apostles.
These poor fools had been summoned with great expectation, but Vanica had other plans—they were bombs.
Their bodies expanded grotesquely. With a deafening BOOM, a mushroom cloud erupted, tearing a hole through Xiaoshui's Magic Zone.
Vanica shot through the breach and fled toward the Spade Kingdom.
"Damn it!"
Xiaoshui dispelled his Water God Mode. Undine immediately rushed to Lolopechka's side, checking her condition carefully.
"Don't chase her," Undine warned.
Xiaoshui nodded. Chasing a retreating devil was suicide. If he died, the entire Heart Kingdom would fall.
For now, the outcome was acceptable—Lolopechka was safe, and the citizens were unharmed. But the palace was in ruins, and reconstruction would take time.
"Roar." Xiaolan and the remaining Spirit Guardians returned to the palace, gathering around the Queen with concern.
"Your Majesty, are you alright?" one of them asked anxiously.
In the Heart Kingdom, the Queen was everything. Without Lolopechka's gentle rule, her people would never know peace.
"Are you okay?" Xiaoshui asked quietly to the blue dragon.
Xiaolan nodded. Half its body had been blown apart by the explosion, but as a being of pure magic, it quickly reformed once its mana stabilized.
"I wonder how the boss is doing…" Xiaoshui clenched his fists, his heart heavy.
The Spade Kingdom had launched its invasion earlier than anyone expected. Something big was happening—and soon, the whole world would feel it.
