Chapter 179: The foreplay to a grand battle?

Imperial Dragons Arc

(POV: Akashic Records)

Lumiere approached Serena's limp form.

His heart pounded in his chest.

Anger and concern coursed through his veins.

He carefully lifted her body, cradling her in his arms as his stormy amethyst eyes scanned her for any visible injuries. His jet-black hair cascaded over his eyes, casting a shadow that seemed to darken his face.

With a monotonous voice, Lumiere spoke, his tone both calm and unsettling. "So, your name's Eunaria," he uttered, not bothering to look up at her. "Right?"

Eunaria's lips curled into a cheeky smile, her eyes gleamed with amusement. "Yes, that's right," she replied, mockery evident in her voice.

Lumiere's gaze didn't waver, his anger simmering beneath the surface.

"How dare you harm my woman," he said.

"Huh?"

She burst into laughter, unable to contain herself any longer.

Her hand covered her mouth, failing to stifle the mirth that shook her body.
