"This aura... it’s the same aura as Father, but stronger," Amber said through gritted teeth, her heart pounding as she shot into the skies.
"What!" Victor exclaimed in shock and hurriedly followed her.
Amber did not wait for Victor as two wings of ice sprouted from her back, and she shot into the sky, following the direction of the familiar aura.
"That bastard... even if he has become an undead, I will end him personally with my own hands," Amber thought through gritted teeth as her aura radiated hatred and barely restrained fury.
Rumble
"Oi, wait for me... don’t go alone. That undead is radiating a Tier 4 aura," Victor, who had caught up, said.
"I know... I just couldn’t wait to tear him apart," Amber replied with a vindictive smile, causing Victor to sigh.
He looked down and saw all the Awakeners knocked out cold. He even saw many heirs of the top families lying unconscious on the ground and thought, ’At least there are no Undeads anymore, and they will be safe. Moreover, I can fight alongside Amber without exposing our true strength or my hidden identity.’
After a couple of minutes, they arrived near the portal.
Pluto sensed their presence, but his eyes widened in disbelief when he saw that it was his daughter who had arrived, along with someone he did not recognize.
"Amber, dear daughter, I did not expect to see you here," Pluto said in surprise, as he genuinely had not expected his daughter to also be in a different world like them.
"How did you arrive? And it seems you have formed your own little empire like you always wanted, but it’s full of undead?" Amber asked with a neutral smile on her face as she looked at her father. For some reason, Victor felt a chill run down his spine upon seeing that smile. He knew it was actually a smile filled with malice, but Pluto seemed completely oblivious.
"I came here by portal... Anyway, my dear daughter, come here obediently and become an undead. I can make you the next heir, and it seems you have awakened a new bloodline—" Pluto started to speak, his eyes fixed on the black ice wings with greed and interest. He was ecstatic, believing that if she joined him, he might be able to break free from Fanna’s control. He was confident Amber was more loyal to him than her mother, thanks to his brainwashing, but he did not expect Amber to suddenly launch an ice spear toward him.
"Fuck," he cursed as he hurriedly dodged the attack. He could tell that the spear was powerful enough to injure him.
"Oh, it seems like you are off target," Victor said with a smile as Amber pouted.
Seeing his obedient daughter suddenly attack him and also behave so intimately with a man, his eyes widened in disbelief. In his memory, his daughter had always treated men as nothing more than playthings. This was the first time he had ever seen his daughter be so obedient to someone.
After shaking off his thoughts, he looked at Amber with anger and said, "Daughter, why did you attack me, and who the hell is this guy?"
"Hello, I am Victor Silvernum, her lover and future husband," Victor stepped forward and introduced himself while Amber blushed a little.
"What!" Hearing his words, Pluto’s eyes nearly bulged out in shock, and what made him believe it was that Amber did not deny his words, which meant it was true.
"Damn, how did this bastard manage to seduce my daughter, and did he somehow manage to poison my daughter against me?" Pluto’s eyes turned cold as he thought about that. Otherwise, his obedient daughter, even if he was an undead, would never have attacked him.
"Amber, did this guy somehow turn you against me, or is he threatening you?" Pluto said.
"Threatening?" Victor’s lips twitched when he heard that.
"No, my dear former father. Do you think I don’t know you killed my mother and that I wouldn’t avenge her?" Amber said with a malicious smile, but there was still a hint of unease as she looked toward the portal, searching for something.
"I see. Then I will just kill you and turn you into an undead," Pluto said, not mentioning Fanna for the time being.
"You wish," Amber said as the temperature around her dropped even further, then looked at Victor. "You stay out of this fight. I am going to deal with him."
While they were getting ready to fight, Victor used his pupil technique on Pluto.
[Undead Duke (Pluto Oreburgh)]
[Tier: 4]
[Level: 403]
[Bloodline: Metal Maker]
"Metal Maker? Isn’t this one of the bloodlines Amber had the option of choosing?" Victor raised an eyebrow as he remembered this option had been available alongside her Ice Bloodline, but she had rejected it. He did not expect it to appear in Pluto after he became an undead.
Amber’s eyes were fixed on the man who was capable of commanding thousands of undead. A smile curled on her lips as she said, "Demon Transformation."
Instantly, her body was covered by thick black smoke, and layers of black frost appeared on the ground, even freezing many of the undead into ice sculptures. After the black smoke vanished, an extremely beautiful and seductive Amber stepped out of it, her body radiating irresistible charm and allure.
She waved a hand, and a blizzard formed, freezing the entire undead army behind Pluto. Seeing this, Pluto’s eyes contracted to the size of needles as he felt a genuine mortal threat from the woman who carried his genes.
"Metal Creation - Armour and Sword Array."
Pluto murmured immediately, and his body was covered by a thick layer of armor. Hundreds of swords hovered around him, ready to strike down his enemies, while he held a longsword in his hand.
Pluto watched his daughter for a moment but subconsciously lowered his gaze after a few seconds and no longer dared to look at her directly.
Amber’s body was brimming with charm. Her usually cold eyes seemed to have taken on the shape of fox eyes, her pupils were slightly moist as if enchanted by something, and the pout of her lips and the tenderness in her voice were more than enough to drive anyone crazy, regardless of whether they were male or female, saint or demon.
Forget the fact that she was his daughter—Amber’s charm had reached a dangerous level that could enchant anyone.
If not for the fact that Pluto had a will of steel, was not into incest, and was an undead, he would have already thrown his sword aside, and regardless of whether she was his daughter or not, he would have tried to claim her body, which would naturally have ended in his immediate defeat due to leaving himself completely defenseless.
"Heh, dear father, don’t tell me you are being charmed by your own daughter. But I have to tell you... I only belong to my darling," Amber said in a voice filled with charm.
Hearing her provocative words, the undead Pluto gritted his teeth and cursed, "You... shameless bitch."
"Hehe." Hearing his curses, Amber merely giggled in amusement.
"You know what? I kind of like your trick. I will copy it," Amber suddenly said as she tapped her chin while looking at the hundreds of swords hovering around Pluto.
"Primordial Ice Manipulation and Maker - Ice Swords and Armour."
Amber muttered, and under Pluto’s shocked eyes, hundreds of swords made of black ice appeared out of thin air and started hovering around Amber just like his own swords, while an armour of black ice covered her body.
"Let’s see if my ice is stronger or your metal," Amber snorted as she waved her hand, and the ice swords charged toward Pluto.
"Don’t underestimate me," Pluto snorted as he also waved his hand, and the metallic swords charged toward the incoming ice swords. He did not think those ice swords could overpower his metal swords, no matter whether they were made of black or blue ice. Moreover, his daughter was one tier lower than him.
Clang
Shatter
"Impossible!" Pluto’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when he saw that his metal swords shattered upon striking the ice swords instead of the other way around.
"What happened, Father? Surprised that your daughter is so strong, or surprised because you are weak?" Amber said in a mocking voice, and Pluto, who heard this, gritted his decaying teeth.
"Tsk, she is being petty," Victor, who was watching the fight from a distance, clicked his tongue as he watched Amber use the same move as her father to crush him completely. Looking at the vindictive smile on her face, she seemed to be enjoying it thoroughly.
"Hmm?" Suddenly, something caught Victor’s attention, and his eyes drifted toward the portal. His gaze narrowed when he felt the other presence inside the portal begin to move.
"Looks like the main boss is going to act," Victor muttered as he looked at Amber, who was oblivious to the looming threat.
