Father and Son 02

Xia Lun slowly put Anana down.

When the barrier set up by Aina was invaded and destroyed, she immediately sensed it. Disregarding the lingering tenderness by the lake, she and Xia Lun rushed back at once.

"Mr. Administrator!" Anana's eyes widened in surprise. She still remembered the dream from a few days ago vividly... She never expected that the gentleman she had met in her dream would actually appear alive and well right in front of her.

Xia Lun was in no mood to explain his identity to Anana at this moment. Instead, he looked at the "Mian" in front of him with a very solemn expression.

"Are you... Aise?"

Just as it was impossible for Aise to forget his father, Xia Lun could never forget Aise's eyes.

Aside from Aise, Xia Lun had never seen that bone-deep madness in anyone else's eyes.

Just by making eye contact, memories of the past surfaced in Xia Lun's mind...

"Ugh... Hahaha! Father! You're actually still alive!" Aise erupted into a lung-tearing burst of laughter. "This is truly a wonderful surprise..."

"Leave this child's body," Xia Lun said, staring at Aise in front of him. His voice was like quenched steel, cold and unwavering.

"Are you sure? Father, if I leave his body, he definitely won't be able to control this magic power fused with an entire magic stone vein. He'll explode in an instant... Tens of thousands of kilometers around us will be leveled to the ground."

Just from the release of Aise's aura, the magic power in the air began to grow restless, and the gravel on the ground trembled slightly.

Aise slowly spread his arms. Massive magical energy began to gather around him, his eyes flashing with excitement and madness. "Even with you and Mother here, you can probably only protect yourselves. You won't be able to look after anyone else, right?"

"I can compress the explosion radius to within five meters," Aina stated calmly from behind Xia Lun.

Aise's expression stiffened, his fingers twitching involuntarily. "A thousand years unseen, and your strength has grown even more terrifying, Mother."

Aina looked at Xia Lun, seemingly asking for his opinion.

Xia Lun shook his head; this wasn't the worst-case scenario yet.

If it weren't for the fact that Aise was currently inside Mian's body... Aina would have definitely attacked the moment they met.

Aise's expression relaxed again, a sickly smile returning to his face.

"Father... You haven't changed a bit. As a Hero, until the very last moment, you won't abandon anyone... not even me." Although the auras of his father and mother were currently pressing down on him so hard he could barely breathe, Aise still appeared completely at ease.

"Did that Goddess save your soul..." Aina's gaze turned slightly cold.

"You too... Mother, you still only listen to Father, just like always. I really don't understand it at all... With such immense power, you willingly become Father's subordinate..." Aise continued to speak to himself, then opened his arms to Xia Lun, revealing a bright smile. "Father, after such a long time apart, won't you give me a hug?"

Xia Lun took a deep breath.

He knew Aise's intentions, and he knew the meaning behind the embrace Aise spoke of.

The last time he and Aise shared their final embrace, cold swords pierced through the chests of both father and son...

Xia Lun had pierced Aise's heart, but Aise had miscalculated by a single step and failed to inflict a fatal wound on Xia Lun.

"You are already dead, Aise," Xia Lun said calmly.

"Do you have the right to say that to me, Father?" Aise clutched his stomach, laughing so hard he could barely breathe. "What state are you in now? An undead creature? Or a high-tier vampire kin turned by Mother? You should have died a long time ago too..."

Aise's words came to an abrupt halt, his fingers instinctively clawing at his chest. He felt as if his heart was being tightly gripped by something, ready to be crushed at any moment.

That was the killing intent released by Aina.

Fear... What a long-lost feeling. The smile on Aise's lips only grew wider.

"Xia Lun is not like a guy like you," Aina said indifferently.

"That's really biased, Mother," Aise squeezed out through gritted teeth, his breathing growing rapid.

Wasting no more words, Aise slowly raised his hand. An invisible distortion occurred, and a longsword exuding a faint black mist appeared in his grasp. Wherever the blade pointed, even space seemed to tear slightly, emitting an ominous hum.

The longsword, condensed from the power of chaos, was an indestructible weapon. Whether it was space or magic, everything had to yield to this force.

Even Xia Lun's current physical body could not withstand the erosion of this sword.

Aina sneered and was about to make a move when Xia Lun raised his hand to stop her. "Let me handle this."

"Xia Lun..." A trace of worry flashed in Aina's eyes. She knew better than anyone that the current Aise truly had the ability to threaten Xia Lun.

"Trust me... Help me look after the surroundings." Xia Lun's voice was soft, but it carried an unquestionable resolve.

Aina nodded gently and stepped back.

Xia Lun's figure disappeared from where he stood. The next moment, with a flash of fire, Xia Lun, wielding a crimson longsword, clashed with Aise.

The instant the two swords collided, a deafening roar erupted. Blazing flames and pitch-black chaotic energy clashed fiercely, sending out a shockwave that made the very heavens and earth tremble.

Aina had already laid down a magic circle to reinforce the surroundings; otherwise, it would have been a complete disaster.

Down below, Anana tightly covered her ears. Now she was certain that even in the Magic Academy... this was definitely an unprecedented event.

The Fire Sword, the third sword in Aina's Demon King Treasury capable of rivaling a Holy Sword.

It was yet another plain name given by Xia Lun that made one want to complain... but the name clearly did not reflect the sword's terrifying might.

The Fire Sword had no physical form; it was forged from an unquenchable blaze. Once injected with magic power as fuel, it could burn into a nearly solid blade.

Only this sword could remain fearless against the erosion of Aise's chaotic power.

Boom—

Flames exploded, and Aise was blasted flying backward. His back slammed heavily against the barrier wall set up by Aina, letting out a muffled groan. But Xia Lun followed like a shadow, the Fire Sword drawing a blinding trajectory in the air as he pursued him directly.

Xia Lun was like an arrow released from the bowstring, following closely behind.

"What incredible power... Father, looking like this, can you still call yourself a human?" Aise wiped the blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, a ferocious smile still on his face.

Although Aise controlled terrifying chaotic power... a child wielding a sword is still not necessarily a match for an adult.

"Of course..." Xia Lun stood with his sword, pointing the Fire Sword at Aise. "Aise... even if you occupy a human's shell, you definitely won't be able to live on as a human..."

"But none of that matters anymore, Father..." Aise gave a sinister laugh. "I have returned..."
