Chapter 108: Defeat? Destiny Reversal!
“Click”
A faint, crisp sound rang out, jarringly clear amidst the lingering chaos of battle.
It was as if some intricate mechanism had been triggered, or perhaps an invisible shackle had silently snapped shut.
Su Nian suddenly felt a tightness at her throat, as though an unseen hand was gripping her neck, making it instantly difficult to breathe.
She was being replaced.
“This… What is happening?!”
Su Nian stared in terror, her once dazzling sky-blue eyes now trembling with disbelief, like a startled bird frantically flapping its wings, desperate to escape this terrifying cage.
She could clearly feel the magic power within her, once as vast as the ocean.
At this moment, it was surging out of her like a breached dam, vanishing at an unbelievable speed.
What was draining away was not just her magic, but her strength, her hope, her everything…
Even stranger, the pain of her magic being drawn out was oddly replaced by an indescribable comfort.
It was like a drought-stricken desert yearning for the nourishing rain.
That feeling, tingling and numbing, spread from her limbs and bones, making her want to sink into it, to give up resisting.
This sensation filled her with both fear and confusion.
It was as if her body no longer belonged to her, but was controlled by the Horned Demon Bastard before her, at his mercy.
No!
She couldn’t let it go on like this!
Su Nian clenched her teeth so hard her silver teeth nearly drew blood, fighting against that strange feeling invading her very bones.
She forced herself to endure the foreign sensation, desperately gathering what little magic remained within her, like a candle flickering in a storm, refusing to be snuffed out.
She had to stop the loss of her magic… break free from this bizarre state!
“Horned Demon Bastard! What… what did you do to me?!”
Su Nian screamed, her voice hoarse and desperate, like a bowstring stretched to its limit, ready to snap at any moment.
She struggled to control her body, trying to distance herself from the Horned Demon Bastard, trying to escape this suffocating place.
But her body felt shackled by invisible chains, unable to move, forced to watch helplessly as Chu Tian stepped closer and closer.
“Little wildcat, did you really think… you could defeat me like this?”
From within the smoke.
Chu Tian’s voice rang out again, low and hoarse, tinged with amusement and mockery.
He slowly emerged from the haze, his figure still tall and straight, but his face was pale as paper, a smear of blood lingering at the corner of his mouth.
Clearly, the explosion just now had dealt him a serious blow, but in his deep eyes, excitement flickered.
Like a beast savoring the thrill of victory after capturing its prey, relishing the struggle of his catch.
“You… You…”
Su Nian glared at the Horned Demon Bastard before her, her eyes brimming with rage and unwillingness.
She wanted to say something, but her throat felt blocked, and no sound could come out.
All she could do was watch helplessly as the Horned Demon Bastard approached, watching the cruel smile on his face, feeling her magic draining away…
It was a despair beyond words, like being trapped in endless darkness, with no light in sight.
No!
She couldn’t give up like this!
Su Nian screamed within her heart.
Her pride, dignity, and beliefs would not allow her to lose to the Horned Demon Bastard again.
She refused… to become his plaything once more!
She desperately summoned the last dregs of her magic, trying to break free from the restraints of the Lover’s Prison Collar.
Like a moth to a flame, knowing it was a dead end, yet charging in without hesitation.
She focused a portion of her magic at her neck, determined to forcibly shatter the collar’s suppression, even if—
Even if it injured her neck, or even… choked her to death.
“Ugh…”
Su Nian let out a muffled cry, her face turning even paler.
Suddenly, she felt a powerful current surge from the collar, instantly coursing through her entire body.
This was the countermeasure Chu Tian had set on the Lover’s Prison Collar; unless he personally removed it, no one else could break free.
Right now, the electric shock from the Lover’s Prison Collar was punishing Su Nian’s resistance.
“Ahhh!!”
The jolt made Su Nian cry out involuntarily.
Her body convulsed violently, as if she might collapse at any moment.
But her gaze remained resolute; she hadn’t given up, she was still… fighting with all her might.
“Heh… It’s useless.”
Chu Tian watched Su Nian’s pained expression, the smile on his lips growing even more cruel.
“This thing isn’t so easy to break out of.”
He walked slowly to Su Nian, looking down at her from above, his eyes full of smug control.
“Little wildcat, you’d better just accept your fate.”
He reached out, gently stroking Su Nian’s cheek, his touch soft and ambiguous, as if caressing a beloved toy.
“As long as you behave, I’ll… take good care of you.”
Su Nian looked at Chu Tian’s wickedly smiling face, a wave of nausea rising in her heart.
She wanted to avoid his touch, but her body simply wouldn’t obey.
All she could do was watch as his hand roamed freely across her face, feeling that warm, sticky sensation, like a serpent’s tongue, making her skin crawl.
“No… Don’t…”
Su Nian’s voice trembled with a hint of sobbing, like a wounded animal whimpering softly.
But her resistance, in Chu Tian’s eyes, was nothing but weak and laughable.
“Don’t want to?”
Chu Tian chuckled, a glimmer of amusement in his eyes.
“Little wildcat, do you really think… you still have a choice?”
He suddenly gripped Su Nian’s neck, lifting her entire body off the ground.
Su Nian’s feet left the floor, her body suspended in midair.
She felt her breathing grow more labored, her consciousness beginning to blur.
“Ugh… Let… go…”
She squeezed out a few words with great difficulty, her hands desperately scratching at Chu Tian’s arm, but her struggle was utterly futile.
“Let you go?”
Chu Tian sneered, his eyes filled with cruelty.
“Little wildcat, haven’t you realized? Everything about you… belongs to me!”
“Mmmph…”
Feeling her throat being squeezed, Su Nian let out a pained groan, her face turning deathly pale, her eyes rolling upward and losing focus.
Under the combined effect of her masochistic constitution and Recognition State Lv2, she had almost lost all ability to resist.
Even though her throat was being squeezed, she felt a strange sensation, as if she was enjoying and even yearning for this rough conquest and domination.
Su Nian screamed in her heart, she couldn’t let this continue!
Just as Su Nian’s consciousness was about to fall into the abyss, she used her last bit of will and remaining magic.
“System… Destiny Reversal!”
The System Notification’s cold, mechanical voice echoed in Su Nian’s mind.
“Ding-dong, Destiny Reversal activated, consuming 100,000 Humiliation Value.”
Immediately after, Su Nian felt darkness fall before her eyes, and an irresistible, immense force swept over her, dragging her into endless void.
