"To see what you're made of, of course."
Raising her right hand slightly, she rested the back of her fingers on her hip, striking a model-esque pose that accentuated her lines.
Her magnetic, cool, and mature voice rang out.
Her tone was steady and unhurried.
A curve formed at the corner of her mouth.
A faint smile emerged.
Like a hunter who has spotted her desired prey.
Her yokai power receded, and the surrounding blood-moon domain vanished.
"Then let's start with a little chat."
Lin stuck his hands in his pockets, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly.
The moment his words fell.
A flash of blood-red light glinted in Inner Moka's pupils. With a light tap of her foot, she vanished from the spot.
She then reappeared in front of Lin.
Raising her right hand, she threw a punch at Lin's chest.
When her fist was about twenty centimeters from his chest.
BOOM!!!
It was like a clap of thunder.
A shockwave spread out in all directions.
Inner Moka's powerful punch slammed into a nearly transparent, light-blue crystalline barrier.
This was a Sanctuary barrier Lin had created using the power of the Blue Kingship.
A Sanctuary deployed by a King possesses a defense capable of withstanding an atomic bomb.
Although Inner Moka's punch was powerful, it was not enough to shake the Sanctuary barrier.
"Not bad."
Seeing this, the smile on Inner Moka's face deepened a few degrees.
She had only used ten percent of her strength in that punch.
It was merely a probe.
She knew Lin was no simpleton, but she didn't know the specifics.
So she was worried she might accidentally kill him.
"You can use your full strength. I'll be fine."
Lin said with a smile, his hands still tucked into his pants pockets.
"Oh~~~"
Inner Moka's eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing this.
Lin's words were, without a doubt, a provocation.
Although her True Ancestor power had not yet been released,
it was a known fact that among the many yokai races in the Yokai Realm, vampires stood at the very top.
They were known as the great yokai of power.
And yet, Lin was telling her to use her full strength.
It was tantamount to saying she didn't even have the strength to hit someone.
She couldn't just pretend she hadn't heard that.
Just as Inner Moka was about to attack with half her power.
"Hold on, let me set the stage."
Lin suddenly interrupted her.
Inner Moka's brow furrowed slightly, but she temporarily suppressed the urge to strike.
"Domain Expansion: Realm of Kingship!"
Lin murmured softly, using the domain of his Supreme Kingship for the first time.
As soon as the words left his lips, he began to sit back lightly.
At the same time, an invisible and immense power erupted instantly.
A hundred-meter radius was seemingly carved out by an invisible blade, separating from the main world and becoming a completely independent space.
The cosmos and starry sky were reflected above and on all sides.
The ground transformed into a grassy field, as green as a carpet.
A golden throne, carved with all the things of the world, instantly manifested.
Lin sat upon it with ease.
The throne carried him high into the air.
Seven Swords of Damocles hovered at his sides and behind him.
His hands rested casually on the armrests, his body leaning slightly to the right as he gently supported his cheek with the back of his right fingers.
The pose was similar to a queen's.
A golden crown condensed above him.
Embedded upon it were seven gems, their colors corresponding to the seven great authorities.
It hovered over his head like an angel's halo.
In that moment, Lin seemed to have become a true emperor.
High above, looking down upon all living things.
An invisible, majestic aura emanated from him, filling the entire space.
He was like a supreme deity who had descended.
Reigning over all creation.
Sacred and noble, one could not look upon him directly.
"What is this!!!"
Seeing this scene, Inner Moka couldn't help but widen her eyes, shock uncontrollably filling her gaze.
It had to be said.
This move was undeniably impressive.
As her eyes met Lin's, Inner Moka found that a faint desire to submit was welling up within her.
Even if it was just a little.
It was still hard for her to believe.
One must remember that she was a top-tier yokai, a vampire, and not just any vampire, but a Vampire True Ancestor.
A Vampire True Ancestor.
In the legends of the Yokai Realm, they were supreme beings who could approach godhood.
Even if she had not yet awakened.
But now, just meeting Lin's gaze was enough to produce a fleeting thought of submission.
Such a thing was unimaginable.
Looking down at the astonished Inner Moka, a smile that seemed to hold the world in his grasp appeared on Lin's lips:
"Let's begin."
His expression was calm, almost careless.
As if he were watching a farce.
Originally, Lin had been the challenger.
But now, it seemed the roles had reversed; Inner Moka was the challenger.
...
Seeing this, Inner Moka's brow tightened.
For some reason, she felt a bit irritated.
"Then let me show you the true power of a great yokai of strength."
Inner Moka murmured to herself.
Her combat instincts seemed to boil over.
A terrifying yokai power erupted in an instant.
It faintly coalesced around her body like a raging, blood-red flame.
A flash of crimson light flared.
Inner Moka vanished from her spot.
In a flash, she was high in the sky.
She threw a punch at Lin.
A terrifying force, enough to easily shatter a large building, was concentrated within her fair, soft fist.
This punch was delivered with nearly her full strength.
The space around her fist seemed to faintly distort.
Yet Lin's expression remained unchanged.
A faint golden glimmer appeared in the depths of his eyes.
When her fist was only ten centimeters from Lin, a translucent golden ripple suddenly appeared before him.
"What is this???"
Inner Moka's eyes slowly widened.
Lin was clearly right in front of her, yet she felt he was as distant as the far horizon.
Her fist made contact with the golden ripple.
The full force of her attack vanished completely within the infinitely extending space.
At that moment, Lin sat up straight.
He reached out his right hand and caught the fair, soft fist before him.
Then, with a gentle tug.
He pulled the shocked Inner Moka directly into his lap.
He had her sit on his left leg.
His left arm wrapped around her slender waist.
"Do you want to try again?"
Lin whispered softly in Inner Moka's ear, his tone gentle.
Suppressing the shock in her heart, Inner Moka looked up at Lin, a faint smile gracing her lips.
"You win."
She didn't choose to try again.
Her purpose was only to test Lin's strength.
In truth, regardless of the outcome.
She was always going to become Lin's clansman.
Because she had already promised.
Their eyes met.
Lin leaned in and captured her soft lips.
Shyness flickered in Inner Moka's eyes.
The next moment, she took the initiative.
She didn't just respond; she launched her own offensive against Lin.
Lin: "(???)"
As expected of the assertive and decisive Inner Moka.
Neither was willing to show weakness.
A fierce battle of tongues began.
About ten minutes later.
Inner Moka turned back into Moka.
The cross seal automatically returned to its original position.
"Mmph?!!?"
Moka, not sharing the recent memories, couldn't help but widen her eyes.
What happened?!
She only remembered Lin easily removing her cross seal.
After that, she knew nothing.
Why was she suddenly kissing Lin?
Although she didn't know the reason, she didn't have time to think about it.
She soon became immersed in the strange and wonderful feeling Lin was giving her.
Unlike Inner Moka's proactive approach.
Moka only received passively, occasionally responding with clumsy returns.
At the same time, Lin began to form the contract of the King's Clansman.
The invisible power of the Supreme Kingship delved deep into Akashiya Moka's body.
It made contact with both Moka and Inner Moka.
Neither of them showed any resistance to this power that originated from Lin.
The power flowed throughout Akashiya Moka's entire body.
Finally, it gathered in her lower abdomen.
It condensed into a purple, sword-shaped mark with a golden border, invisible to ordinary people, and fused with her soul.
The contract of the King's Clansman was complete!
