『Graahh!』 The Summer Queen screamed from the pain of being disconnected from the fourth-eldest of her children. The Eighty-One Oculus was spiritually connected to her, but the Nine Dragon Sons were her children that shared her power. The side effects of the severed connection were intense. If her power had returned to her, they would have been alleviated somehow, but because her child was being eaten by a different one, the pain was doubled. 

“What a load of bullshit.” The Martial King cursed and brought his hands down on the Summer Queen. From the outside, it didn’t look like he’d affected her much, but energy whirled inside the Summer Queen, tearing apart her muscles, veins, Magic Circuit, and internal organs. Crunch.

The Summer Queen’s legs grew weak and she collapsed to the ground, squirming as a burning smell gushed out of her mouth. She didn’t seem to have the will to fight anymore. The Devil Poison had already entered her marrow, and the holiness that she had forced out was almost depleted. She had tried to attack the Martial King using her magic, but the Martial King always managed to break it apart or to avoid it entirely.

Once he broke her spine, the advantage shifted to him. The Martial King spit out phlegm mixed with blood. His blood was still boiling, and the exhilaration of the fight continued to make him antsy. He wanted to relieve the tension somehow, but the Summer Queen couldn’t handle him. In fact, she was never in the condition to fight him in the first place.

He was a bit annoyed by that. Other than Allforone, the only person who could stand against him in the entire Tower was the Summer Queen....
