Volume 4, Chapter 13 – Invaders? Extra Meal!!

Thanks for the monthly tickets, adding one more chapter

“Is this the place?”

Gazing at the room ahead protected by multiple barriers, Akrovan’s pupils narrowed slightly, and a solemn expression quietly emerged.

Then, this Paradise Manor Executioner cast his sharp gaze toward Zao Li beside him.

“Are you certain?”

“Yes yes yes!! That’s right!”

The uneasy Zao Li nodded repeatedly, afraid of displeasing the person before her.

“I can sense the aura of my Augury Force! I followed the power trail to find this place! There’s definitely no mistake, the Sacred Stone is hidden here!”

“Alright, I understand.”

Akrovan didn’t have much doubt.

After all, the room before them was protected by multiple barriers and was also hidden in a concealed location deep within the Lingyuan family main residence. It clearly looked like a place for storing treasures. If it weren’t for Zao Li’s aura guidance, even he, a master of infiltration and searching, would have had difficulty discovering this room.

“So it would be hidden in a place like this? The Lingyuan family people are quite capable, hehe…”

Akrovan sneered a few times.

Then this red-clothed Executioner slowly raised his hand and pressed his palm against the barrier ahead. The next moment, as spiritual power surged, large amounts of black mist seeped out from Akrovan’s palm, covering the barrier ahead.

As a master of infiltration, these protective barriers and steel doors couldn’t stop him at all.

“Open for me.”

Accompanied by a strange energy fluctuation, when the black mist dispersed, the triple barrier ahead had been quietly torn open with a huge gap, and the locks on the door had also been opened. At the same time, the entire Lingyuan family estate remained in a quiet state, with no alarms triggered by the barrier’s destruction.

No one noticed what was happening here.

“Easy as pie.”

Akrovan muttered quite disdainfully, then this Paradise Manor Executioner pushed open the room’s door and walked into this ‘treasure vault’ of the Lingyuan family.

However, after the door opened, Akrovan’s expression stiffened, and a trace of displeasure clearly emerged from his eyes. Because after seeing the full interior of the room, Akrovan discovered… this wasn’t a treasure room at all, but a luxuriously decorated bedroom.

There was no Sacred Stone in the room either, only a blue-haired girl lying asleep on the bed.

“The Sacred Stone isn’t here…”

Huh?!

Glancing toward Zao Li beside him, Akrovan’s expression suddenly became cold, while the latter was so frightened that she retreated several steps, not daring to say another word.

“Hmph… However, this woman.”

Redirecting his gaze to the girl on the bed who looked like a celestial being, like Sleeping Beauty, Akrovan couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows.

After seeing that exquisitely perfect face, Akrovan recognized her identity – she was the former Divine-Graced Maiden of the Westivian Covenant.

Lianna-Anloxi.

The mistress of the Lingyuan family who, according to rumors, had been ‘recuperating’ for over two years.

“Not recuperating, but unconscious?”

Although it wasn’t clear what exactly was wrong with Lianna’s body, Zao Li’s Augury Force seemed to have been used to nourish Lianna, as he could still sense part of Zao Li’s power aura on Lianna’s body surface.

Not finding the Sacred Stone was indeed disappointing, but it wasn’t entirely without gain.

The three little girls of the Lingyuan family, along with that guy Luo Fei Lingyuan, all valued Lianna greatly.

If he brought this woman back, she would surely become a good threatening tool later.

Hehe, this way it wouldn’t be a wasted trip.

Akrovan smiled coldly, then he focused his blade-like gaze on Zao Li:

“Go carry that woman on your back, I want to take her with us.”

“Me, me?” Pointing at herself, Zao Li blinked in confusion.

“If not you, then me? I don’t like having physical contact with humans. Hurry up, time is running short.”

Akrovan urged somewhat irritably.

He could spread his shadow to cover himself and Zao Li, blocking others’ perception and equipment detection, but doing so was quite energy-consuming. Having conducted investigations for two days, Akrovan’s stamina had naturally been depleted considerably. It was about time to leave the Lingyuan family territory and return to report to Lord Ancestor.

After hearing Akrovan’s urging words, Zao Li didn’t dare say more and could only nod obediently.

“Yes yes, understood.”

Abandoning her so-called Divine-Graced Maiden dignity, Zao Li somewhat staggeringly ran toward the blue-haired girl.

However, after running to the bedside, Zao Li froze.

Staring at the absolutely beautiful face of ‘Lianna’ before her, Zao Li couldn’t help but clench her fists tightly. For a moment, the humiliation and pain of these two years echoed once again in Zao Li’s mind.

It’s this bastard, it’s her daughter and husband who made me like this…

While muttering to herself internally, intense hatred continuously seeped from the bottom of Zao Li’s heart, directly making her face become increasingly twisted and sinister.

Undoubtedly, over these years, Zao Li had accumulated considerable anger toward Ailiya and the Terrabond Lineage.

But since she was no match for them, Zao Li seemed to have no choice but to vent her hatred on others.

Ailiya’s mother seemed like a good choice.

Using my power to nourish your mother? Hmph, heh, hehehehe…

After a cold laugh, Zao Li, whose heart was shrouded in hatred, suddenly contracted her pupils. Although she couldn’t kill Lianna, Zao Li had already decided to give this detestable woman an unforgettable lesson, to retaliate for what her daughter had done to her.

“Lord Akrovan, may I rough her up a little?”

“No problem, just don’t kill her or make too much noise.”

Akrovan said indifferently, a trace of interest showing in his eyes. In a sense, he quite enjoyed watching these lowly creatures fight among themselves.

After receiving Akrovan’s approval, Zao Li’s smile became even more sinister.

The next moment,

After walking to the blue-haired girl’s bedside, Zao Li suddenly clenched her five fingers. Accompanied by the surge of Augury Force, a dagger condensed from energy with a cold gleaming blade appeared in Zao Li’s hand. Immediately after, this Divine-Graced Maiden raised the dagger high, her eyes blazing with cold light, and stabbed straight toward Bai Lianyue’s face!

Still the Covenant’s number one beauty?!

Let’s see if I don’t ruin your face!!

However, just as the dagger was about to pierce Bai Lianyue’s cheek—

The blue-haired girl who had been in a deep sleep, motionless all this time, suddenly twitched her nose and smacked her lips.

——”Wu… such a fragrant smell… the smell of braised pork~ O(≧∇≦)O”——

??

What, what?

Braised pork? What the hell?!

Hearing this muttering, Zao Li was suddenly stunned.

But before Zao Li could react,

“Whoosh—!”

Accompanied by a strange energy fluctuation, black liquid erupted without warning from around Bai Lianyue’s body, like boiling black molten lava instantly exploding! These liquids seemed to have life as they surged and roared, instantly wrapping around Zao Li’s arms and limbs. What followed was a suffocating pressure of death.

?!!

What, what is this thing?!

Zao Li stared wide-eyed, her eyes full of shock and terror.

No!

Are you kidding me?! How could I, just like this…

Zao Li wanted to struggle, but unfortunately she didn’t have time to make any cry for help before being dragged by the black liquid into endless darkness, along with her dagger being devoured without a trace. Only a faint shriek remained in the air before complete silence.

In another corner of the room,

After witnessing this sudden scene, Akrovan was greatly alarmed, cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

No! This is wrong!

This is curse power?!

This person isn’t Lianna!!

Rеαⅾ oո KαtReаԁіոɡСаfе

After realizing this, Akrovan directly abandoned any thought of saving Zao Li.

His suppressed spiritual power was released, black shadows suddenly enveloped Akrovan, and his body quickly dove into the shadows.

Obviously, sensing danger, Akrovan was trying to cast magic to withdraw and retreat.

Unfortunately, Akrovan’s speed was still a step too slow.

Just as one-third of his body dove into the shadows, thorn spears condensed from black liquid came piercing through the air one after another, precisely penetrating Akrovan’s chest, abdomen, neck, and head, forcibly dragging the attempting-to-escape Akrovan out of the shadows… Blood and black liquid splashed and intertwined in the air, his body instantly stiffened, then rapidly withered at a visible speed.

???!

This, this power?!

This oppressive feeling?!

Evil god?!

Gaia Lobir!!!

——”WTF!!”——

Staring fixedly at Bai Lianyue’s face, Akrovan struggled and unwillingly roared in his heart.

Although Akrovan tried to mobilize his spiritual power to resist, as his spiritual power and life force were completely absorbed by the black thorns, this Executioner couldn’t resist for long before his body rapidly withered and, like Zao Li, was mercilessly devoured by these strange black liquids.

The black liquid roared and rolled like a tide, but ultimately flowed back into Bai Lianyue’s body like all rivers returning to the sea.

Before long,

Everything returned to calm.

And Miss Bai Lianyue still lay peacefully on the bed, her expression unchanged, as if nothing had ever happened.

However,

As Zao Li and Akrovan’s power entered her body, Bai Lianyue’s eyebrows, which had been tightly closed for so long, twitched slightly at this moment…
