Malevolent – Chapter 4 – Crimson Spectre Eye

“I am the Divine-Graced Maiden, the only Divine-Graced Maiden who can control the Sacred Stone.”

“I am the world’s savior, for the future of humanity, I cannot lose my power…”

“Without my power, humanity has no future. And without it, I would even lose my current honor and status.”

“No, absolutely not, absolutely absolutely not!”

“The Augury Force is mine, no one can take it away.”

“Even if it’s my daughter.”

“Since you’ve taken my power, then, give it back.”

“I gave you life. So for you to return it, isn’t that only natural?”

“ Heh, hehe, hehehe~ ”

…

With a bone-chilling laugh, the majestic emerald spiritual power within Lianna’s body once again enveloped her long whip. In her eyes as she looked at Ailiya and the two little babies, there was not a trace of maternal love or mercy.

At this moment, Lianna seemed not to be looking at her own flesh and blood, but rather at enemies with whom she had a deep grudge.

Strange and twisted coldness and killing intent continuously spread from Lianna in all directions.

“ Mo-Mother… what did we, do wrong… why are you doing this… ”

At this moment, realizing that her mother truly intended to kill her, Ailiya was completely despairing amidst her tears. Consumed by fear, the silver-haired girl could only kneel on the ground, even her courage to flee had been stripped away.

All the girl could do was hold the infant basket while watching her murderous mother approach step by step.

Unfortunately,

Faced with three helpless children, Lianna’s eyes still held not the slightest bit of pity, remaining as ferocious and empty as before.

“Return the power that belongs to me.”

With these cold words, Lianna revealed an excited, savage smile and raised her weapon high.

And at this moment,

——” Don’t you dare harm the young ladies!! “——

With a resolute roar,

Boloni, using his last strength, suddenly charged toward Lianna from behind, swinging his sword surrounded by all his water-attribute spiritual power. When hearing Boloni’s voice, little Ailiya’s eyes couldn’t help but overflow with a glimmer of hope.

“ Master?! ”

However,

This ray of hope had barely emerged before being extinguished by the merciless reality. Boloni of the Divine Martial Realm was indeed an elite among humans, but before Lianna with her Divine Departure Realm power, he was far from sufficient.

Even though Lianna’s power had been greatly weakened, she was still not someone Boloni could deal with through a sneak attack.

The next moment,

Pia—

With the sonic boom of the whip tearing through space, Lianna not only easily sidestepped Boloni’s attack with a turn of her body, but also directly struck Boloni’s abdomen with her whip.

With blood splashing, Boloni’s body was directly split in two, crashing to the ground in a miserable state.

Fresh blood scattered everywhere, instantly dyeing the ground red, with internal organs continuously spilling from the waist where his body had been severed.

However,

As a person in Divine Martial Realm, Boloni did not give up, still gripping his sword and staring intently at Lianna in the distance.

“Lady Lianna, I, I won’t let you, won’t let you harm the young ladies…”

Looking at her former friend who continued to struggle, Lianna’s increasingly manic eyes overflowed with contempt,

“Boloni, even your brother couldn’t stop me, what can you do?”

“Lady Lianna, do you really have to go this far?”

Boloni raised his head tremblingly, looking painfully at Lianna’s blood-stained beautiful face:

“Miss Ailiya and the others are your own daughters! If you kill them for the Augury Force… your past honor, your image in the hearts of the people, will never return! ”

Hearing this,

The smile on Lianna’s face grew colder and more pathologically disdainful.

“No, if I can take back the Augury Force. All the honor, wealth, and status will return… what happens here, the government and media will help me conceal it… no one will know about this.”

“As long as you all die.”

“I will still be that once great Divine Maiden.”

“Besides, these children… I never wanted to have them. If it weren’t for those bastards , how would I have…”

As the words left her mouth,

Ignoring little Ailiya’s pleas beside her, the silver-haired woman raised the long whip in her hand high, attempting to directly eliminate Boloni, the last person in her way.

At this,

A resolute smile overflowed from Boloni’s face.

“Then, I can only gamble.”

This smile was, unsurprisingly, caught by Lianna.

“Gamble? What do you mean?”

Eyes slightly narrowed, Lianna instinctively sensed something was wrong. Following Boloni’s gaze, Lianna glanced at the gem at her waist that could conceal her aura.

Then,

Lianna’s eyes suddenly contracted. Because, at some point, a crack had appeared in that gem. The illusory light that had been continuously emanating from it was now completely gone.

Boloni!!

He wasn’t trying to attack me just now! His target from the beginning was this deceptive gem!

In an instant, Lianna widened her eyes, her bloodshot eyes staring intently at Boloni’s face. At this moment, Lianna had completely lost any grace befitting a Divine Maiden, appearing extremely ferocious and terrifying.

“You bastard!!”

Lianna let out a hysterical roar.

Then, before Lianna could launch an attack, her movements abruptly stopped.

The angry expression on her face froze, and she stood rooted to the spot.

???

This,

What is this?

Rеαd oո KаtReαdіոɡСаfe

At this moment, as a Divine-Graced Maiden, Lianna felt a spine-chilling coldness spreading from her back, as if countless cold fingers were sliding along her spine.

After drawing a sharp breath, Lianna slowly turned her head, her gaze filled with fear and unease.

A strong sense of foreboding continuously grew and spread within her heart.

And this foreboding was validated the next instant.

When Lianna turned her head, a huge and strange blood-colored eyeball suddenly appeared in her field of vision.

The eyeball’s radius alone was two meters, its grim white filled with blood vessels, its pupil emitting a suffocating red light that seemed capable of penetrating one’s heart and peering into the soul.

At this moment,

Lianna’s heartbeat instantly accelerated, she almost felt her blood flowing backwards, her breathing becoming rapid and disordered. Her hand involuntarily trembled, the long whip losing its former imposing manner, falling to the ground. That blood-colored eyeball seemed to possess an infinite attraction, and her gaze could not move away from it.

However,

Even more terrifying scenes followed. Lianna’s peripheral vision swept around, discovering that countless eyeballs began to appear in the surrounding earth, trees, and even in the air. These eyeballs varied in size, but all emitted the same blood-red light, staring fixedly at Lianna. Those eyeballs seemed to have life, watching her without blinking, making her feel there was nowhere to escape.

Eyeballs twining around tree trunks, eyeballs hanging between leaves, eyeballs protruding from the ground, each emitting endless curses and a suffocating coldness.

And as these eyeballs appeared, dense curse power continuously emanated from the earth, instantly engulfing Lianna’s spiritual energy field, giving her unprecedented pressure.

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, fear appeared in Lianna’s eyes for the first time.
