Full-Time Magister: A Hellish Start, But the Shadow King

Apas sensed the aura of the "Eternal Sword" and dared not move, fearing he would die in the next second.

She didn't even consider using her most prized Medusa Eye.

Not to mention that there is also the Nine Nether Empress, who is also a Grand Monarch, watching her intently from the sidelines, ready to strike at any moment.

Cheng Xiao's own mental strength was at the eighth level, making it impossible for her to control him immediately.

Apas suddenly smiled obsequiously:

"Big brother, I was just joking with you. How could I possibly have murderous intentions towards such a handsome big brother?"

Cheng Xiao pinched her cheek and asked with a smile:

"You cunning Medusa, you were just about to make me pay with my life for your Silver Serpent Warriors, how come you've suddenly calmed down?"

Apas was practically cursing under his breath.

You put a sword to my neck and then ask me why I suddenly calmed down?

Let me put my mouth to your neck and bite it off anytime to see if you're calm!

Of course, Apas wouldn't dare say that outwardly; she continued with a smile:

"Big brother, you've misunderstood. I'll give you as many silver snake warriors as you want."

"Big brother, could you move your sword a little?"

Cheng Xiao smacked his lips:

"I originally wanted to have a proper talk with you, but given your attitude just now, I've changed my mind."

"If I really cooperate with you, what if you, this ruthless Medusa, turn your back on me?

"A partnership with no guarantees is not worth it. I prefer to have absolute control."

Apas's golden-pink eyes narrowed, and she suddenly had a bad feeling.

really.

Cheng Xiao gently poked Apas's forehead, and a powerful mark was imprinted directly into the depths of her soul.

Apas was startled, for he was the highest-ranking Medusa after his mother, Queen Medusa.

Her spiritual power far surpasses that of ordinary great monarchs; even the Nine Nether Empress, who is also a great monarch, is inferior to her.

But Cheng Xiao's mark was directly and forcefully imprinted deep into her soul, leaving her with no power to resist.

"The mark I left deep within your soul is called 'Divine Oath of Judgment'," Cheng Xiao explained slowly.

"This ancient sacred method is an ability exclusive to the Seraphim soul embryo. As long as I gently chant the incantation, I can make you accept judgment."

"Of course, don't even think about rebelling against me, after all, the mark is directly engraved on your soul."

"I will know immediately if you have any disloyal thoughts towards me."

As he spoke, Cheng Xiao sheathed the "Eternal Sword" and softly recited the sacred language unique to the Holy City.

Apas instantly felt a sacred flame ignite within the deepest part of his soul.

That mark, branded deep within her soul, was delivering an absolutely domineering judgment upon her!

The flames initially did not cause her any harm, but they caused her immense pain.

If the sacred flames were to ignite completely, even with Apas's powerful soul, it would only take him ten seconds at most to utterly obliterate her!

"No, stop reading! I'll listen to you, I'll listen to everything you say!" Apas quickly knelt down in front of Cheng Xiao and begged for mercy.

Cheng Xiao was very satisfied with the ancient holy method of this Seraphim soul embryo.

Every angel can learn ancient sacred arts from the angelic soul embryo, the most representative of which is the forbidden spell technique!

Even if one's cultivation level is not high enough to release forbidden spells independently, as long as one possesses an angelic soul embryo, one can use the power of the soul embryo to reach that level.

Each time an angelic soul embryo advances to a higher realm, it gains access to more sacred arts.

Upon reaching the level of a Seraphim, one can essentially master all the ancient holy laws of the Holy City.

Of course, apart from the seven archangels, there isn't a single other angel soul embryo possessing this level of power for centuries.

Cheng Xiao stopped chanting the incantation and smiled at Apas:

"Be a good girl, okay?"

Apas nodded repeatedly, looking at Cheng Xiao's smile as if he were looking at a mocking and laughing devil.

She couldn't help but ask:

"Come here."

"I don't like that title," Cheng Xiao reminded him.

Apas was taken aback, then quickly changed his question to:

"Master, Lord, you come from the Holy City?"

She would never use such a title to address a lowly human.

However, with the "Divine Oath" protecting her, she dared not disrespect Cheng Xiao.

She was afraid of dying. If she died, no one would be able to stand up to her older sister Trisina and her second sister Euryale.

No one will avenge her mother!

Even if it means being so lowly as a dog to humans, she cannot die; only by living can she see hope.

"You could say that. You could consider me the eighth archangel of the Holy City, but I'm not bound by their rules," Cheng Xiao said with a smile.

"Get your people out of here."

Apas looked shocked. An archangel?!

What merit or ability did she possess to summon the Archangel of the Holy City?

The "Eternal Sword" that Cheng Xiao took out earlier was definitely an Emperor-level demon-slaying tool above the Heaven level, and it also had the unique holy artifact power of the Holy City.

Apas knew a little about the Holy City; she was very familiar with that light.

If Cheng Xiao were to casually strike her with the "Eternal Sword," she would probably be annihilated on the spot.

Apas dared not disobey Cheng Xiao's orders and signaled the assembled scorpion minions to withdraw.

Overwhelmed by the pressure of their bloodline, the snakes and scorpions fled in terror, not daring to inquire about the reason.

"Your Majesty, when did you become the Archangel of the Holy City?" Queen Jiuyou floated over and asked cautiously.

She was unaware of Cheng Xiao's identity as an archangel; she only knew that Cheng Xiao had summoned the imperial armor once.

After all, she had no direct contract with Cheng Xiao, so she had no way of knowing.

"Come closer, and I'll tell you," Cheng Xiao said with a half-smile.

Seeing Apas's miserable state, Jiuyou dared not be so mischievous anymore and waved his hands repeatedly in refusal.

"What's going on here?!"

Lingling was still below the ruins, and the scene left her completely bewildered.

Cheng Xiao jumped down from the height of the ruins with Apas and explained simply:

"It's alright now, she's become my pet snake. This is my sister-in-law."

Apas stood honestly beside Cheng Xiao and smiled:

"My name is Apas."

Lingling glanced at Apas, her face full of disdain:

"You were looking all fierce just now. Where's your pride as a noble Medusa?"

In the past, Apas would have wanted to swallow this arrogant little girl whole.

But now, all she could do was force a smile:

"Master has made me realize my mistake; it was just a misunderstanding."

Lingling pouted.

Cheng Xiao chuckled. This newly acquired pet snake really knew what it meant to be pragmatic.

Cheng Xiao didn't feel any guilt about abusing Apas, after all, she wasn't a good person to begin with. (End of Chapter)
