Damon’s instincts were on point as the very next moment, he felt a strong tug in the depths of his soul.
Namina grinned viciously, licking her lips. "Look here, pretty boy. Your looks are only average, but your body is top-notch. You don’t have to beg mommy too much. I will take you in. There is just one small thing you need to do before that. Let go of your soul."
Even as she finished talking, a powerful surge slammed into Damon’s consciousness.
The tug on his soul intensified, no longer subtle. It was invasive, cold, and razor-sharp, like invisible hooks trying to tear something fundamental out of him. Dark sigils flared beneath Namina’s feet, forming a complex soul-binding formation.
A cold glint appeared in her eyes as she licked her lips and gazed at Damon with an insatiable hunger. "You will be a fine addition to my collection." She laughed loudly.
Seeing this, the crown prince and the other members of the hidden orders slightly relaxed. A second ago, the system contract in front of them seemed like the only way out of their misery, but now, that was no longer the case.
Everyone knew that once Namina decided to go full-on crazy, there was nothing and no one who could stop that woman. The only people capable of doing something like that were B-ranked powerhouses, and their Western Desert Empire did not have any monsters like that.
The bloodsucker was truly finished now.
Some even clicked their tongues in pity. Falling into Namina’s hands was in many ways worse than death, and most wouldn’t wish it on their worst enemy.
On the other side, Alzara and the old emperor had horrified looks on their faces. Neither of them had expected the crazy witch to show up here, let alone go all out. But the emperor was quicker to react than anyone else.
The moment the soul-binding formation began to ignite, he moved. He knew this wasn’t a fight Damon could easily handle.
A roar echoed through the hall as ancient imperial seals flared around his arm. Mana surged violently, condensing into a blazing arc of sunlight that tore through the air toward Namina.
The attack zoomed like a falling sun. Golden light howled, ripping apart the air as the emperor poured everything he had into the strike.
"Get away from him!"
The blazing arc slammed into Namina, but before it could do anything to her, a translucent barrier bloomed in front of her, layered with runes. The sunlight struck and shattered on contact, exploding into fragments of light that scattered harmlessly across the floor like dying embers.
Namina finally turned her head, irritation flashing across her face. "Tsk. Old men really should learn when to stay in their graves." She flicked her finger. The backlash came instantly.
