Everyone's Class: One Effort, 10,000x Bonus Reward! - Chapter 392: The Sisters’ Loyalty

Outside the crack in the door, a guilty-looking little head peeked in.

Cheryl’s pretty face was as red as a ripe apple. Her hands nervously twisted the hem of her clothes as she slowly shuffled into the room.

She was still wearing the battle Miko armor that had just accepted her as its master. She had only taken off the helmet, which gave her a strangely cute contrast.

“Aiden… you… you’re not asleep…”

Cheryl stammered, her eyes darting everywhere. She did not dare look at Aiden.

“Your sister just left, and you came here to eavesdrop. Is that what your level 75 strength is for? To act like an Assassin?”

Aiden looked at her with a faint smile.

Cheryl’s face turned even redder after being exposed. She quickly waved her hands.

“N-No! That’s not it! I wasn’t eavesdropping!”

She took a deep breath, as if she had finally made a huge decision, and suddenly raised her head.

“I… I also want to swear loyalty to you!”

Aiden was amused by the girl. He leaned back against the headboard and looked at her with interest.

“Oh? Your sister already swore on behalf of both of you.”

Aiden’s lips curved into a teasing smile.

“Besides, loyalty has to be proven with actions. How do you plan to show it?”

Cheryl froze.

She had rushed in purely on impulse. She had never thought about what she would actually do.

Looking at Aiden’s deep eyes, which carried a hint of amusement, Cheryl felt her mind buzz. In that instant, all her reason seemed to disappear.

She suddenly took two steps forward. The absolute ice law of a level 75 expert burst out beneath her feet by accident, sending tiny ice crystals scattering across the floor.

Her armor made a crisp clinking sound. Then, like an Assassin charging toward certain death, Cheryl suddenly bent down.

Smack.

A cool yet incredibly soft touch landed lightly on Aiden’s right cheek.

It was gone almost as soon as it came.

Before Aiden could even react, Cheryl had already jumped back like a startled rabbit.

She covered her burning cheeks tightly with both hands, not daring to look at Aiden at all. Then she turned and rushed toward the door.

A moment later, her panicked footsteps faded into the distance. From outside the room came the girl’s shy but extremely firm shout.

“I-I’ll always follow you! For the rest of my life!”

Her voice echoed through the empty hallway, then slowly faded away.

Inside the bedroom, only a faint trace of the young girl’s sweet scent remained, along with a few frost flowers on the floor that were slowly disappearing.

Aiden sat on the bed, stunned for a rare moment.

He slowly raised his hand and gently touched the cheek she had just kissed.

A faint chill still seemed to linger there.

He was the top scholar of the Great Shaw Empire, a cold-blooded killer who could slaughter Demon Dukes as easily as dogs. Yet at this moment, all he could do was shake his head helplessly.

In the cruel and bloody Abyss, this was a rare bit of warmth.

Aiden lowered his hand. With a slight movement of his fingers, the door closed tightly again.

Under the dim magical glow, the corners of his usually cold mouth rose slightly despite himself.

…

The cold wind howled. The morning in Winterhold was torn apart by the sharp smell of blood.

In the huge square in front of the City Lord’s Mansion, hundreds of prisoners knelt in a dark mass.

They were the remaining forces of the Selwyn Family, and also the most stubborn poison that had once infected Winterhold.

Rainn sat on a high frost throne.

The Primordial Miko crown on her head gave off a suffocating dark-gold pressure under the dim morning light.

“Execute them.”

Her red lips parted slightly, and she spoke one word as cold as ice.

Whoosh!

Dozens of executioners brought down their black blades at the same time.

Heads rolled across the ground. Hot blood instantly melted the snow beneath them, then quickly froze again in the bitter cold, turning into crimson ice.

The whole place fell deathly silent. Tens of thousands of native Abyss residents watched in fear, not daring to even breathe too loudly.

Rainn slowly stood up. Her Eyes of Origin shone with a light that seemed able to see through souls as she coldly swept her gaze over the crowd.

“From this day on, there will be no Selwyn Family in Winterhold!”

“There is one more thing I must announce to the entire lower Abyss.”

Rainn’s voice was amplified by magic, booming over Winterhold like rolling thunder.

“The cancer of the lower Abyss, the Crow Miko, fell completely last night!”

The moment she said this, the crowd in the square drew in sharp, frightened breaths.

The Crow Miko?She was a terrifying figure with countless death warriors under her command. All races in the lower Abyss feared her name.

“Who killed her? Did the Heavenly Demon Clan descend?” someone in the crowd muttered in a trembling voice.

“The one who killed her was my master, Aiden!”

Rainn suddenly raised her voice. There was a clear fanatic devotion in her tone that she could not hide.

As soon as her words fell—

Boom!!!

A terrifying pressure beyond words suddenly shot up from the deepest part of the City Lord’s Mansion!

The dark clouds that had hung over the sky all year round were instantly torn apart by violent magical elements!

Aiden walked through the air.

He was dressed in black. Under his feet, the Nocturnal Boots created rings of dark-gold ripples in the void with every step.

Even though his true level was only level 80.

But with Legendary Rank Magic Mastery, his understanding of all elemental laws, and a full set of Mythic Rank equipment supporting him.

And the aura he gave off at this moment was close to the peak of a level 99 Great Venerable.

It was absolute Strength powerful enough to make this space collapse.

Within a thousand miles, the leaders of the Abyss races all looked up in terror when they felt this overwhelming pressure, second only to that of a god.

In just half a day, the meeting hall of the City Lord’s Mansion was filled with leaders from many races who had rushed over to pay their respects.

Dark Goblins, envoys of the Red Dwarves, Skeleton Lords… all of them trembled under that deep, hellish pressure.

But in the Abyss, there were always fools who thought too highly of themselves and did not know when to fear death.

“A mere human thinks he can rule over the myriad races of the Abyss?”

In the middle of the hall, a ten-meter-tall Crimson Flame Demon suddenly stepped forward and let out a thunderous laugh.

He was a level 89 Demon Lord. His whole body burned with choking hellfire, and his muscles looked like twisted molten rock.

“Human, crawl back behind your Golden Great Wall! This is the Abyss!”

The Crimson Flame Demon roared. He swung the burning Epic Rank giant axe in his hand, creating a violent storm of fire as he brought it down toward Aiden on the throne.

Rainn’s eyes turned cold. She was just about to use the power of Origin to kill him.

“Noisy.”

Aiden leaned lazily against the throne and did not even lift his eyelids.

He simply raised his right hand and snapped his fingers at the huge Demon body.

Snap.

The crisp sound of the snap strangely drowned out the Demon’s deafening roar inside the hall.

The next moment, Golden Sunfire descended with a boom.

It was not just a ball of fire.

It was like a golden sun exploding inside the Demon’s body.

“Ah—!”

The Crimson Flame Demon did not even have time to let out a second scream.

His Demon body, which was strong enough to withstand the physical attacks of a level 90 Venerable, instantly turned to vapor the moment it touched the Golden Sunfire.

Even the Abyss hellfire he was so proud of was completely swallowed by the overwhelming Golden Crow flame, leaving not even a speck of ash behind.

A light wind passed through the hall.

The Demon Lord, who had been so arrogant just moments ago, was now nothing more than a small pile of black ash drifting away in the wind.

Instant kill.

A complete instant kill, with no suspense and no chance to fight back.

The entire hall fell so silent that only the wild heartbeats of the Abyss leaders could be heard.

“Anyone else want me to send them back to Earth?”

Aiden slowly opened his eyes. His deep gaze swept over everyone below, and his voice was completely calm.

Thud!

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The leaders of the different races in the hall dropped to their knees like cut wheat. They pressed their foreheads hard against the cold floor, their bodies shaking like leaves.

“We are willing to die for you, Lord!”

“We are willing to die for you, Lord!”

Their cries of surrender echoed through the great hall of Winterhold like a raging tide.

Over the next three days, Winterhold’s territory expanded at a crushing speed, growing three times larger than before.

Countless Abyss resources, mining lands, territories, and vassal races poured into this frozen city like a flood.

Rainn did not disappoint Aiden. She showed the iron will of a true queen.

With her unquestioned rightful status as the Primordial Miko, she quickly built a new ruling order for the Miko race.

The Mikos who had once wandered through the lower Abyss and suffered endless bullying now rushed toward Winterhold as if they had found their highest faith.

At the same time, on the huge training ground outside Winterhold, snow and ice flew through the air, and battle cries shook the sky.

Cheryl wore her evolved Battle Miko armor. In her hand, her ice-crystal magic staff released deadly streams of extreme frost law.

“Too slow! In the Abyss, being half a step slow means getting your head bitten off!”

She was no longer shy and flustered like she had been in front of Aiden the night before.

Now, she was like a cold and ruthless goddess of war, drilling the newly formed Winterhold Guard without mercy.

An iron-blooded army, made entirely of high-level Battle Mikos and elite Abyss death soldiers, was taking shape at a visible speed.

And the source of all this confidence lay in the forbidden underground chamber beneath the City Lord’s Mansion.

Aiden waved his hand, and the light from his spatial ring shone brightly.

Clatter—

More than forty pieces of glowing Legendary Rank equipment, three hundred and sixty Mythic Rank materials, and a small mountain of Epic Rank items poured straight onto the floor.

“Use these to arm your core leaders. Don’t hold back.”

Aiden pointed at the shocking pile of treasure on the ground, wealth great enough to start a war of extinction between King Rank races in the Abyss. Yet his tone was as casual as if he were handing out cabbages.

Rainn looked at the treasures spread across the floor. Even though she had already advanced to Venerable, her breathing still became extremely fast.

“With this equipment, I can make Winterhold’s army crush the entire lower Abyss within half a year!”

She raised her head and looked at Aiden. In her Origin Eyes, there was now only hopeless devotion and absolute loyalty.

Aiden said nothing. He only turned and walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the Abyss city that was changing at a mad speed.

The snowstorm still raged, but this land of the Abyss had already been marked with Aiden’s name.

This place would become the arsenal for his endless hidden cards.

And it would also be the first unshakable foundation for his future war against the Abyss royal clans, the Heavenly Demon imperial clan, and even the final disaster that would tear everything apart.
