Swear Fealty To Me, My Subjects!

Chapter 93: Trip to the Tundra with a Jealous and Tsundere Sister

Another few days passed.

With the frequent arrival of death, even Little Black Duck's talent of rebirth had begun to evolve.

Initially, Little Black Duck took more than an hour to molt and be reborn.

Later on, it only took 50 minutes.

Finally, it only took 20 minutes to be reborn after its death before another fine duck took its place!

Each time it was reborn, Little Black Duck's body would transform and perfect itself.

It was evolving for the sake of adapting to the environment.

.

The initial evolution direction of passive defense had already been proven to be a mistake.

For Little Black Duck, if it wanted to survive, its only way was to defeat this Black Catastrophe that bore immense malice towards it.

Little Black Duck began to grow sharp teeth and began to fight the Black Catastrophe.

Initially, it was killed instantly by the Black Catastrophe.

Later on, it was able to exchange blows with the Black Catastrophe.

Gradually, Little Black Duck's survival time against the Black Catastrophe increased continuously.

However, Little Black Duck encountered another obstacle.

That was because the Black Catastrophe was not a simple wild beast.

In reality, the Black Catastrophe was an outstanding creation of biological technology.

If it merely possessed a strong physique, sharp fangs and claws, its combat strength would clearly not meet the design standards.

Therefore…

Apart from sharp teeth, it also had two lethal weapons, the laser slice beam and long-range Gauss weapons.

That's right, the Black Catastrophe was absolutely devoid of ethics.

It possessed guns!

When Little Black Duck's performance was shocking enough to make the Black Catastrophe feel threatened…

The Black Catastrophe decisively activated its Gauss shoulder cannon.

Little Black Duck was shattered by a single shot.

Little Black Duck's enemy had turned from a strong and ferocious wild beast into a four-legged tank.

Little Black Duck could only start another round of challenges.

Finally, another three days passed.

Little Black Duck had revamped its body's organs once more and obtained an epoch-defying ability that could go against the Gauss cannon—spitting acid.

Compared to the Gauss cannon that could kill Little Black Duck instantly…

The acid that Little Black Duck spat out was way too inferior.

However, this was a long-range attack at the end of the day and it even had armor-piercing damage.

Finally…

Once, Little Black Duck was extremely lucky and the acid it spat out penetrated the Gauss cannon, destroying the Black Catastrophe's long-range firepower.

Thereafter, Little Black Duck spat out another round of acid and finally managed to kill the Black Catastrophe singlehandedly!

After so many days of continuous evolution, Little Black Duck had finally won!

There was no doubt that for a pitiful fellow whose body size was less than one-tenth of the Black Catastrophe and could only rely on eating the leftovers of Rayne and the others to barely survive, this was truly a magnificent feat.

Little Black Duck was overjoyed.

It had finally defeated this nightmare that had enveloped it from the moment it was born.

Now, it could finally stop eating leftovers.

Its bloodshot eyes glared at the dead Black Catastrophe.

It wanted to…

Eat meat!

Little Black Duck pounced onto the Black Catastrophe's corpse and began to devour greedily.

After a hearty feast, Little Black Duck's body began to expand at a visible speed.

It ate continuously and food became a part of it in an extremely efficient manner, promoting its growth.

The high density muscles of the Black Catastrophe contained rich nutrients.

Its alloy bones could also become a sharp weapon for Little Black Duck.

This meal lasted for an entire day.

By the time Little Black Duck devoured the Black Catastrophe completely, Little Black Duck's body had already grown exponentially and it possessed the same steel armor as the Black Catastrophe!

Thereafter, the now confident Little Black Duck began to look at the other people in this cramped world with a murderous gaze.

For example, Rayne who had been observing it warmly through the crystal basket.

Right then, a dimensional rift suddenly opened.

Edaline had returned.

She did not head to the living area on Level 2.

Instead, she descended directly onto the duel colosseum on Level 1.

Fresh meat…

Little Black Duck was overjoyed at the sight of its new prey.

Now that it had climbed a level in the biological chain, it wanted to challenge even stronger opponents.

Caw!

Little Black Duck roared and charged towards Edaline.

Thereafter, it was shattered into a liquid state by a casual slap from Edaline and splashed all over the greenhouse.

Little Black Duck received its most tragic defeat in history.

What was even more tragic was that Little Black Duck could not absorb any constructive experience from this death.

That was because it had to understand—there were still terrifying enemies in the world that it could not defeat even if it tried its best to evolve.

When Rayne saw his sister return, he greeted Edaline warmly.

However, Edaline ignored him.

She merely left behind three living Black Catastrophes casually and said calmly,

"Here, what you wanted."

Recently, the frequency of Edaline coming to the greenhouse decreased.

After all, every time she returned to the greenhouse, she would always see Rayne and the Great Teacher exchanging flirtatious glances.

It was especially so for the Great Teacher.

Each time Edaline returned, she looked incomparably nervous and blushed with a racing heart.

It was as though she had done something shameful behind Edaline's back.

Suddenly, Edaline realized.

She was truly… redundant.

For this trip, Rayne was merely bringing her along as a tool…

Rayne's true target was Leta's silver-haired pointy ear.

Her body had been completely transformed internally and her age far surpassed Rayne's. However, Great Teacher Elktela Lucia was beautiful and possessed a flesh body that could be considered top-tier even among the demigods.

It was also because Edaline realized that she felt that she had to distance himself from Rayne and let the latter flirt with his beloved Great Teacher.

Unless there was any absolute reason, Edaline would rather return to the capital and rest after killing the Black Catastrophes than be a third wheel in the greenhouse.

On this trip back to the greenhouse, she brought what she needed for Rayne.

Three Black Catastrophes.

They would become Little Black Duck's new sparring partners.

Little Black Duck was merely lucky to have defeated a single Black Catastrophe.

However, if Little Black Duck could defeat three Black Catastrophes, it would mean that Little Black Duck truly had the ability to kill the Black Catastrophes.

That was the target for Little Black Duck's next phase.

On the side of Rayne.

When Rayne saw the cold expression on Edaline's face, he naturally noticed the change in his sister's mood.

Not everyone was like Constance, willing to be a punching bag that never left his side.

Due to Rayne's neglect of her during this period of time, Edaline's mood was getting worse.

Therefore, Rayne called out to Edaline who was about to leave.

Rayne asked gently, "Little Eda, what are you going to do?"

Edaline harrumphed. "Follow your instructions and kill the Black Catastrophes."

Rayne smiled. "Since that's the case, can you take me for a walk in the tundra?"

"Huh?"

Edaline revealed a look of disdain.

"No way! Can't you just stay here and accompany that old pointy ear of yours? Don't cause trouble for me!"

…

A few minutes later.

A dimensional rift opened up on the Deep Tundra with a chilling storm.

Edaline and Rayne, who were protected by layers of spells, walked out of the dimensional rift one after another.

"Rayne Haines, let me remind you, this is the only time! Don't think that your pathetic pleas will work a second time!"

With that said, Edaline added softly,

"Follow me closely now and be careful not to get lost…"
