Malevolent – Chapter 37 – Home Needs a Heater

“Oh ho?”

Seeing Greemir, who was about to unleash his full power, knocked unconscious by a single hand chop, Enchino couldn’t help but reveal a playful expression. Though initially stunned, he quickly ‘understood’ the situation.

“Hehe, as expected of Lady Lianna. Even with your power drastically reduced, your judgment of the situation hasn’t diminished.”

“You knew Greemir would be no match for me. So you proactively knocked him out to prevent your childhood sweetheart from getting hurt.”

“Hehe, since Lady Lianna is so sensible, I won’t kill him.”

“Of course, the prerequisite is that Lady Lianna remains this cooperative later and obediently comes with me. Otherwise, not only will your little lover lose his life, but you might also have to suffer a bit.”

Staring at the heavenly beautiful young woman, Enchino spoke with the posture of a victor, from his high position.

Enchino was quite excited now,

Just thinking about how the once high and mighty, arrogant Divine-Graced Maiden had now lost much of her power and had to submit to him made Enchino’s mouth curl up uncontrollably.

However,

Enchino soon felt somewhat embarrassed.

Because,

After his declaration, ‘Lianna’ didn’t make any gesture of surrender, and she didn’t even… look at him.

Enchino’s brows began to twitch.

“Uh, hey?!”

…

Completely ignoring Enchino’s awkwardness, Bai Lianyue quietly squatted down, thoughtfully staring at the back of Greemir’s head.

In a sense,

Enchino’s judgment wasn’t wrong. Bai Lianyue’s purpose in knocking out Greemir with a hand chop was indeed to prevent the two from fighting. However, the fundamental reason was to protect the vegetables, fruits, and other nutritious foods she had worked hard to obtain.

She was planning to use these ingredients to make a feast for the children when she returned.

After knocking Greemir unconscious, Miss Bai Lianyue began pondering a serious question.

Hmm,

According to Serveiling, once her power stabilized, she needed to use ‘Lianna’s’ identity to infiltrate the Westivian Covenant.

Her recent behavior seemed to be quite inconsistent with that Divine-Graced Maiden’s identity.

Not very elegant,

And her tone and demeanor completely mismatched.

Though this golden-haired man had some mental issues, he was obviously quite familiar with Lianna. What if he later calmed down and noticed something was wrong? What if he discovered she wasn’t Lianna herself, that Lianna had been possessed?

Wouldn’t that ruin her future plans?

Thinking of this, Bai Lianyue decided to be more cautious.

Of course, the Terran Malevolence had no intention of killing him to silence him. When dealing with matters related to House Solrog, Bai Lianyue could sometimes become extremely radical. But in most cases, Bai Lianyue was not willing to kill innocent humans.

If that’s the case, what she could do was make him temporarily lose his memory~

“When spiritual energy flows, the acupoint that serves as a hub… hmm, I think it’s the Baiwei point? Hitting there can apparently cause temporary amnesia.”

While mumbling, Bai Lianyue raised her hand chop and lightly struck the back of Greemir’s head.

“Thud!”

“No, not this one. Serveiling mentioned before that it should be a bit lower.”

“Thud!”

“No, no, I remembered wrong. It’s not the Baiwei point; that’s for suppressing **. It should be the Tiangang point.”

“Thud!”

“Wait, I got it wrong again. That’s for treating constipation.”

…”Thud thud thud thud XN”…

Finally, after a series of attempts, Greemir’s head had been embedded into the stone floor, with wisps of smoke rising from the back of his head…

Looking at her handiwork, the Terran Malevolence nodded with satisfaction.

“I remember now, it’s the Spiritflow point! Hehe~, successfully done!”

However,

While Bai Lianyue was satisfied, someone else’s dissatisfaction reached its peak.

You,

You actually,

Ig-ignore me?!!!

Seeing that Bai Lianyue still hadn’t paid any attention to him, Enchino clenched his fists in unbearable frustration. As the leader of the mercenary group Chi Mang, a peak Divine Martial Realm expert, Enchino was a respected powerhouse wherever he went.

A powerhouse, naturally, had the pride and dignity of a powerhouse.

In the past, when Lianna looked down on him, viewing him as an executioner who killed for money, Enchino had accepted it. But now? With your power sharply decreased, with an aura throughout your body not even reaching level three?!

You still dare to treat me with such an attitude?

You still think you’re that once invincible Holy Maiden!

Come to think of it, the employer only said to bring the person back, without specifying that she needed to be brought back intact, right?

If that’s the case,

“Looks like I need to teach you a lesson…”

Having made his decision, Enchino violently ripped off his coat.

The moment the coat fell,

With the release of crimson spiritual energy, his body was completely exposed.

Enchino’s body beneath the coat was mostly covered in metal, with silver-white and deep-red mechanical components interwoven, exuding a cold technological feel. At the center of his chest was embedded a red energy core, emitting dazzling light like dancing flames.

Power lines crisscrossed between his arms and torso, each muscle contraction accompanied by slight mechanical sounds. Every precise structure showcased extraordinary power and speed.

As the core in his chest operated, blood markings crawled up Enchino’s face, and terrifying heat energy began spreading from him in all directions.

Enchino’s aura rose rapidly at a terrifying speed, going from the high position of the Divine Martial Realm directly to the peak of the Divine Martial Realm, even showing momentum to break through to the Divine Departure Realm in one go.

The powerful spiritual energy wave crashed toward Bai Lianyue like a collapsing sky.

“See this? This is the twelfth-generation power core newly produced by Yue Linglong, capable of amplifying the user’s power by forty percent.”

“It seems I misjudged earlier; you had no intention of cooperating obediently.”

“But it’s okay, I’m very tolerant. I can give you one more chance.”

“Lianna-Anloxi, obediently put on the restraints and come with me!”

…

However, even after unleashing his power and making threats, the blue-haired young woman still had no intention of paying attention to Enchino, and was instead searching for something on Greemir’s body.

Seeing this, Enchino completely lost his patience.

Surging flames once again condensed in Enchino’s hand.

“Come back with me obediently, you bitch! Oh, right, not just you, but your three daughters too. Although I don’t understand where you’ve hidden those three kids, if you’re sensible, hand over your daughters!”

With these words, Enchino assumed an attacking posture.

“Otherwise, don’t blame me for being impolite!”

As it turns out, Enchino’s threat did have some effect.

Because as these words reached her ears, the blue-haired young woman’s movements abruptly stopped, and an unusual glint flashed through her emerald eyes.

—”Hand over your daughters!”—

In the young woman’s mind, some unpleasant memories seemed to echo.

Bai Lianyue’s beautiful face also visibly darkened with the emergence of these memories.

The next moment,

Rеaⅾ оո КatRеαdіոɡСаfe

Bai Lianyue slightly turned her head, scanning the flame-engulfed man in midair with that hollow and eerie gaze.

—”Come to think of it, winter’s approaching, and the new home still needs a heater…”—

…

…

—

“Enchino-Kode. Leader of the mercenary group – Bloodbound Legion Chi Mang.”

“High position Divine Martial Realm expert.”

“One of the experts hired by the Marshal to assist in searching for Lianna and her daughters.”

“This guy…”

“Hmm, how did he end up like this?”

Looking at the projection report in her hand, the recorder Lena, dressed in a black-gray military uniform, murmured to herself in puzzlement.

While speaking, she turned her gaze forward, looking at the figure surrounded by several investigators.

That figure was none other than Enchino, who was at the high position of the Divine Martial Realm.

However, the current Enchino no longer had his past majesty.

His body lay amidst the ruins, that mechanical body which once emanated powerful strength now completely dismantled and shattered. The mechanical components of his limbs were scattered around, circuits and pipelines hanging powerlessly like torn blood vessels, and the luster of metal was dimmed due to damage.

His face still maintained his expression from when he was alive, pupils dilated, with fear and disbelief written all over his face, as if unable to accept his failure and death. His mouth was slightly open, seemingly wanting to say something, but unable to make any sound.

And at the center of his chest, the power furnace that should have been the source of his power had vanished without a trace, leaving only a charred, shattered void…

The entire scene was unbearably tragic, making Lena instinctively feel nauseated.

“This person… was he torn apart by some monster?”
