Worldly Overlord - Chapter 102
Devon pulled Melissa closer to him, to the extent that they were only a few meters apart from one another. It was to the point that Devon only had to bend slightly, and his lips would touch hers.
If it was any woman, she might have been freaked, but Melissa didn’t budge a little, it was as though she had been in this situation a lot of time and was already use to it.
One of the reasons Devon refuse to call Melissa his aunt was because the age gap between them was just a single month. During his childhood, Melissa had practically lived with him all through.
They knew each other like the back of their hands, Melissa could be said to be Devon’s first crush.
However, because of some problems in the family, the two lovers relationship was destroyed before it could even begin, and one thing led to another which made the duo stop talking to one another.
It was also because of this problem that made the two of them hate each other the way they did.
Devon gently caressed her left cheek just like she had done to him earlier and the same scene that happened when she touched his cheek repeated itself..
It wasn’t only Devon who was hiding his true appearance, Melissa was also doing the same.
Seeing the true appearance of Melissa made a smile appear on Devon’s face. That little girl who always ran after him had grown up.
Devon gazed her Melissa from head to toe, and he couldn’t help but nod his head at what he saw. Even when they were little, he had always known Melissa’s body figure would be attractive when she grew up, and he was right.
Truthfully, when they were young it had ways been Devon who chased Melissa left and right.
Melissa had a curvy and delicate body figure, among all the women Devon had seen, this was the most perfect body shape he had seen. Whether it was her bust line or waistline, they were all in perfect proportion.
Melissa’s cheek reddened as she stared down, the look on Devon’s face as he stared at her made her know what he was thinking.
Devon trailer his finger across the face, Melissa’s gaze was like water and her eyebrows were extremely delicate. Her hair was pitch black and her skin was fairly white.
To be honest, Melissa’s face couldn’t be said to be the prettiest. However, it was elegant.
Staring at her, one would want to protect her with all that he or she had. She had the aura that even people of the same gender would find it hard to say no to someone like her. It was another kind of beauty, another type of attraction.
The clothes she was putting on were made of soft cotton and not silk brocade. They used no dyes and only had their natural cyan color. The clothes even made her body figure look more captivating.
Looking at the woman who appeared innocent and seemed to be acting like a doting wife, one would find it hard to believe that this was the same person who controlled a Diamond rank forces.
In the underground world, Melissa was a woman with both powers and backing. The women who had achieved what Melissa had done at her young age could be counted with one hand.
She was ruthless, powerful, and extremely dangerous.
“You don’t have to be worried, before I die I’m still going to make sure I make your life very miserable,” Devon said as he moved away from her.
Devon’s words seemed to have brought an expression on Melissa’s face, however, that expression disappeared immediately. It was as though it was never on her face in the first place.
Melissa chuckled, “I’m not worried nephew, I’m just reminding you not to get any silly idea and your life is mine.”
Devon sneered as he listened to Melissa’s word, since he had gotten what he needed, there was no reason for him to stay here anymore.
However, his movement was put on hold when he heard Melissa’s voice once again.
“If you’re going to the ominous land after receiving my warning, there’s something I must see.” Melissa had already appeared in front of Devon, unlike the other time where no action happened between the two of them, this time she launched a punch to Devon’s abdomen.
Whenever Devon was with this woman, he would always be on his guard, just in case of anything that happens. This time around it was also the same as Devon prepared himself.
Devon immediately shifted his body to the other side, and Melissa’s punch slowly bypassed him.
However, before the air could settle, Melissa launched another punch at Devon, this time around she went for his face. Against the attack, Devon didn’t dodge, instead, he attacked her with a punch of his own.
There wasn’t any energy present in their attack, it was just a pure physical exchange between the two of them, but the force contained in that attack was something even a Transcendent realm expert would find hard to deal with.
Not to mention a Heaven realm expert, those wouldn’t even be able to withstand a single move from either Melissa or Devon before they get destroyed.
Even though Devon struck back and delivered a punch of his own, against Melissa’s fist, he was pushed five steps backward.
Devon staggered for a bit before he finally regained himself, he immediately clenched his hand into a fist, he knew Melissa was stronger than him, but he never expected it to up to this.
The punch he launched to Melissa only contained half of his true power, so he didn’t completely go all out, Devon believed Melissa also didn’t go all out.
In fact, he had a feeling that she had merely used a portion of her true strength.
“Not bad… But if you want to go to the ominous land with this strength, then you won’t come out alive from that place.” Melissa said as she took a step forward.
Devon smiled, “I fight to kill, not the other way around… If I’m to go all out, then you’re going to die, Melissa.” Devon’s voice was filled with complete confidence.
Melissa burst out laughing, she assumed he was joking, as Devon was really a playful person when they were little. However, when she saw the look on his face, she knew he wasn’t and that he meant every word he said.
“Let me see what the son of the most talented prodigy is capable of.”
Seeing that Devon didn’t budge even after her words, Melissa spoke again, “I assure you that my clan won’t come after you if I die from the attack.” Melissa said.
Even when she had said that they should end it all In a single strike, there still wasn’t any weapon In Melissa’s hand. She seemed to be intending to fight Devon with just her fist.
“You still don’t believe?” Melissa’s hands began forming a strange pattern in the air, and after the pattern was created she started panting heavily.
Though the pattern might look ordinary it wasn’t anywhere close as the pattern was called the pattern of oath.
Devon was pleased, except for the fact that the two of them were very close childhood friends, there were other reasons why despite the hate he had for Melissa he wasn’t capable of doing anything to her.
The family she came from, in terms of power ranking, Melissa could be said to be from a titanium rank forces. It was only a titanium rank force that was capable of giving one of its prodigies the power to control a Diamond rank forces.
If Devon was still in the Reid mansion, then there might be no need for him to worry that much about her family, as there were powerful experts present in the mansion.
However, things had changed he didn’t have that support behind him anymore, and killing Melissa would completely anger those experts.
It could even make them forget that he was still the heir of Reid’s mansion and kill him regardless of the consequence.
Devon brought out two weapons at the same time, the demon slayer katana was on his left hand while the black sword was on his right hand.
Seeing the two weapons in Devon’s hand, Melissa quickly waved her hand and brought the two of them out of her room.
They were still in the inn of life, however, the two of them were now standing on a stage.
The two weapons which were being held by Devon didn’t seem to possess an aura, if it wasn’t for the eye which was at the center of the demon slayer, anyone would assume they were just ordinary swords.
Devon channeled the primordial chaos energy he had into both sword which was on his hand, “Sword descendant disintegration.” Devon mumbled in a low voice.
The sword descendant that erupted this time around didn’t only consist of the black sword, instead, the demon slayer sword had also taken shapes in some swords in midair.
When Devon said that he fought to kill, it felt like he was just bluffing, however, the attack he had just launched was something to be wary about.
