Sovereign of the Ashes

Chapter 747: Women’s Way Of Solving Problem

The legion of undead creatures Leena brought with her was the most elite, directly under the command of the skeletal dragon, Sanchez.

Among them was a formidable Undead Knight who rode atop a white skeletal warhorse, wielding a seven-meter lance.

This knight, once summoned by Sein during the Thunderfall World War, had been promoted to Rank Two thanks to the brutal battle.

Not only that, but the knight’s white skeletal warhorse, previously left with just one head, now boasted a new body brimming with the energy of a peak Rank One creature.

Combined, the undead knight and its warhorse unleashed a force formidable among Rank Two beings.

Yet, they paled in comparison to Sein.

Beyond the tens of thousands of native plants under his command, the magic rod emitting twin hues of green and purple glow in Sein’s hand alone was enough to intimidate any creature below Rank Three.

Sein’s reunion with Leena distracted him from Sanchez’s frustrated roars, making him momentarily oblivious to others on the battlefield, including the other women with whom he was involved.

Selina and Eileen from the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring kept their distance.

However, Natalya, known for her fiery temperament, failed to restrain herself.

Natalya was fully aware of Leena’s identity through Sein’s previous confessions, but as his wife, she found it particularly hard to stomach the fact that Leena and Sein had matching magic robes!

Not even Selina and Eileen had been granted this honor.

This clearly showed Leena held a significant place in Sein’s heart.

A pair of massive devil wings spread from Natalya’s back. The Rank Two female knight soared straight toward Sein and Leena. She stopped between them, physically separating the pair with her robust body.

Her action caused Sein to roll his eyes.

Yet, amidst a battlefield and in full view of all, he refrained from punishing her according to their “family law”.

Although Natalya had been trained to be obedient to Sein over the years, she was unwilling to give him up to someone else.

After receiving her mother’s “life lessons” years ago, Natalya generally did not mind Sein’s involvement with other women.

However, she struggled with the idea of sharing too much of Sein’s heart with them.

Just as Sein’s mother-in-law, Sia, would not tolerate her husband bringing home other women.

It was a matter of boundaries and reputation.

Natalya’s boundaries had long been eroded by Sein’s pyro elemental chain lashings.

Her action was purely impulsive.

This was the stark difference between a knight and a mage.

Natalya’s approach would not solve any real problems; it would only make the situation awkward for all involved.

Despite the heat of the moment, she had long recognized Leena’s role in Sein’s life.

In fact, she was moved by Leena’s care and love for Sein during their time at the Black Magic Academy in Mystralora City.

In essence, both Natalya and Leena were the type of women who could devote their lives to Sein—and they had indeed done just that.

Leena, dressed in a matching Dim Star magic robe and wielding the Dark Crystal Rod, did not act as impulsively as Natalya.

More and more mages gathered around, drawn by the sight of the skeletal dragon and tens of thousands of undead creatures emerging from the spatial passage.

From beneath her black hood, Leena’s clear voice cut through the commotion, “How about we go talk somewhere?”

Although phrased as a question, there was a commanding undertone in her voice—a trait she shared with Sein.

Natalya was a fearless woman but Sein was likely the only one who could intimidate her.

Despite her bold front, she was secretly intimidated by Leena’s icy tone.

Leena’s frosty demeanor instantly cooled Natalya’s fiery impulsiveness like a gust of cold wind.

The Rank Two female knight with a pair of devil wings behind her and horns on her forehead, steeled herself and replied, “Fine!”

With that, she took the lead and flew in the direction Leena had indicated.

After Natalya flew off, Leena flashed a smile at Sein before following her.

Sanchez remained still. Since this was a matter between the two women, an outsider like it should stay out of it.

Even Sein, the man at the center of the dispute, stayed put.

The look Leena gave him alone was enough for him to decipher everything she intended to convey.

The female knight and mage flew to the west of the temporary fortress that the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring had established in Lush Verdant Forest.

There was a large space, where the dense forest had long been cleared by external forces.

Recently, this bare ground had become a site for mages to experiment with magic spells and for knights to spar.

After Natalya and Leena departed, Sein first looked westward with concern, but soon, a pale black elemental barrier spanning several hundred meters in diameter appeared over the clearing.

In recent decades, both Sein and Leena had grown significantly.

Sein had always considered Leena to be potentially more gifted than himself.

Without the wisp of planar light in his body to enhance his constitution, and the Verdant Flame Body Tempering Technique, Sein’s growth might not have surpassed Leena’s.

Leena was a talented mage who had earned the recognition of a Rank Five black tower master through her own efforts.

The prolonged war in Blackhaven had allowed her magic research and practical combat abilities to undergo transformative growth.

Women had their own ways of solving problems.

Shortly after the pale black magic elemental shield was erected, intense bursts of elemental explosions and energy fluctuations emanated from the clearing.

Although an isolation barrier was in place, concealing the exact happenings within, the fluctuations that escaped were potent enough to impress any Rank Two mage.

As Sein observed the activity around the elemental barrier, the skeletal dragon before him broke his concentration.

“Hey, lucky kid. Aren’t you supposed to tell me what the hell this place is? Is this a medium-sized planar battlefield?” Sanchez asked, the soul flames in its eye sockets flickering curiously.

“No, this is just a low-level planar battlefield, but...” Sein trailed off, his gaze shifting toward the northern sky.

“We’ll likely go to a medium-sized planar battlefield soon,” he said.
