1 chapter unlocked

At this moment, Miss Mengxi, who was supposed to be in a deep sleep, peeked through her right eye at the black-haired girl standing before her. Sensing Wilt’s surging aura and the vast power within that energy spear, Mengxi couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat for her Sister Yumo.

An attack like that definitely couldn’t be underestimated!

‘Could Sister Yumo be in danger…’

If her body hadn’t truly reached its limit, Mengxi would have felt the urge to step in and help.

Seeing the black-haired girl choose to face Wilt’s attack head-on, Mengxi’s heart began to beat even more frantically.

Although she had learned from the conversation between Yumo and Wilt that Yumo did have an ulterior motive for approaching her, Mengxi still didn’t want to see the other girl get hurt for her sake.

However, Mengxi soon discovered to her astonishment that she had underestimated Sister Yumo’s strength. Even with the protection of the barrier Yumo had set up, Mengxi still felt a suffocating pressure from Wilt’s grand and imposing attack, her very soul trembling. Yet, such a powerful attack was dispelled effortlessly after hitting Sister Yumo.

It was simply unimaginable.

What confused Mengxi even more was Sister Yumo’s bizarre reaction after being hit. Normally, anyone hit by such an attack should feel pain, get angry, or even counterattack immediately. Instead, Sister Yumo stood frozen in place for no apparent reason, even letting out a series of clear and pleasant laughs. From her words, Mengxi could be certain that Sister Yumo was genuinely happy.

‘But why would someone be happy about being injured? What was going on?’

Recalling the sight she had accidentally glimpsed of Sister Yumo slamming her head against a wall when the divine power erupted in her body earlier, some strange conjectures couldn’t help but surface in Miss Mengxi’s mind.

‘Could it be… does Sister Yumo have self-harming tendencies?’

‘Or rather, is Sister actually an M??’

Remembering the contents of certain books unsuitable for children, this strange suspicion inadvertently popped into Mengxi’s head. At the same time, Miss Yumo, standing in front of her, suddenly felt a chill down her spine and hastily turned her head to look behind her.

Why did she suddenly have an ominous feeling?

…

One day in the future, when Miss Yumo would be shocked to find herself stripped naked and tied to a bed by Mengxi, she would truly regret her ‘strange’ performance on this day.

…

On the other side, compared to Mengxi’s shock, Wilt’s heart was completely overtaken by astonishment. His dark green eyes trembled, filled with disbelief. When he looked at the black-haired girl again, the high fighting spirit he had just possessed crumbled almost instantly.

Ever since he became a magic god tier, no one had ever dispelled his attack so effortlessly!

‘This is impossible!!’ Wilt roared in his heart. Something must have gone wrong!

Wilt’s mind could not accept this reality, and his expression became hysterical because of it. No! This was impossible! There must have been some trick just now as it was impossible for her to take his attack head-on like that! Not even a peak eighth tier existence could do it! Was she perhaps the Demon God!?

She must have some item on her that could block his attack, like a one-time protective tool.

‘Try again!’ Wilt refused to give up and raised his left hand again.

His dark green magic power exploded and rapidly gathered in his left palm, forming a magic circle outlined by the green energy. Clearly, Wilt intended to use the ‘Blackdeath Thorn Spear’ once more.

However, while Wilt refused to give up, our Miss Yumo had lost her patience. After all, even if that attack came dozens more times, it would be nothing more than a tickle.

In the next instant, under Wilt’s stunned gaze, a black silhouette suddenly flashed before him accompanied by a flicker of crimson light. Wilt’s pupils constricted and his heart stopped for a second!

“You!!” Before he could even cry out in surprise, Wilt met the black-haired girl’s crimson eyes and shuddered. The words were forced back down his throat as a drop of cold sweat slowly slid down his forehead. The incantation he was chanting at high speed came to an abrupt halt because of her sudden appearance.

“Stop trying, it’s a waste of time,” Miss Yumo said coldly.

She then slowly raised her hand and directly grabbed the Blackdeath Thorn Spear that had not yet fully formed in Wilt’s hand. As her fingers tightened slightly, the energy spear containing destructive magic power collapsed once again into countless magic particles under Wilt’s horrified gaze.

‘How is this possible?! Using only her hand?! She crushed the Blackdeath Thorn Spear just like that?!’

Before Wilt could process this unacceptable reality, a sharp pain shot up from his crotch. His face twisted into a ridiculous and pathetic expression of agony.

“Boom!!” Accompanied by a loud explosion and the surging of terrifying crimson Shadow Essence, the unmotivated Yumo kicked Wilt in his lower body. A mouthful of blood and pieces of internal organs sprayed from Wilt’s mouth once more. The dark green aura surrounding him collapsed instantly. The mutated limbs he had gained from taking the Blood Soul Pill also receded completely under this kick.

Wilt returned to his normal human form. However, he no longer had the majesty and temperament of the Cult Leader of the Divine Punishment Holy Church, looking instead like a pathetic drowned dog.

Before he even had a chance to clutch his lower body and groan, chains constructed from crimson energy suddenly struck, locking Wilt in mid-air and pulling his body into a spread-eagle shape.

At this moment, Wilt completely lost any thought of resisting. It was an impossible task to defeat the woman before him or kill the Chosen Maiden under her protection.

The only thing he could do now was hurl insults.

“You! You hag! You bitch! You stinking whore! Motherf*ckingbitch! The Demon God won’t let this slide if you keep protecting the Chosen Maiden like this! Neither will the Child of God! Retribution will find you sooner or later!”

Listening to Wilt’s threats, Miss Yumo frowned with utter indifference. “Retribution? Those are all trivial matters. What I’m more interested in is who exactly this Child of God you mentioned is.”

“The Child of God?”

“Yes~”

Knowing Miss Yumo’s intention, Wilt managed to maintain a look of disgust despite his fear and helplessness. He stared at the black-haired girl with eyes full of hostility. “In your dreams! I will never betray the Child of God! I won’t tell a traitor like you anything!”

“Oh? You’re that stubborn?”

“Heh! Even if you torture me to death, I won’t tell you!”

Yumo slowly raised her hand to her chin, falling into a brief silence. After glancing thoughtfully at the surrounding environment, her expression gradually turned cold. “Since you’re looking for death, I’ll fulfill your wish~”

As she spoke, waves of crimson Shadow Essence slowly gathered at her fingertips.

Right then, dozens of members of the Divine Punishment Holy Church ‘unexpectedly’ burst into the battlefield. They leapt up and launched attacks toward Miss Yumo in the air! In an instant, the lights of various combat arts and magic flashed around her.

However, Yumo only gave a cold backward glance at the attacks from these insignificant pawns. Had these people run over here during the gap just now?

“Boring…” The girl’s eyes narrowed slightly as blood-red butterflies suddenly began to dance.

As the sleep powder scattered, the members of the Divine Punishment Holy Church who were eager to save their leader suddenly felt a daze and collapsed unconscious onto the ground.

However, the appearance of these members was not meaningless.

‘An opportunity!’ Noticing Yumo looking back, Wilt scrambled to seize this once-in-a-lifetime chance. He mobilized the little energy he had left and injected it into the specialized magic ring on his index finger! The spatial orb inside was instantly activated!

In the next moment, accompanied by a ripple of spatial light, Wilt was enveloped in a blue glow under Miss Yumo’s ‘stunned’ gaze. After a flash of blue light, he vanished from the spot.

Clearly, like the Third Prince Bernard before him, Wilt had used a rare spatial orb to escape.

However, once Wilt’s presence had completely vanished, the ‘shocked’ expression on Miss Yumo’s face gradually faded. She returned to her expressionless state and even let out a fake sigh of regret. “Oh, he got away~”

A spatial orb was indeed a good thing since this kind of instant teleportation was quite convenient. But for Miss Yumo, disrupting a spatial teleportation was not a difficult task.

The reason she had deliberately ‘concentrated’ on dealing with the other cultists was only to let Wilt escape. Judging by the Cult Leader’s tone and demeanor, it was indeed unlikely that he would reveal information about the Child of God. Since he wouldn’t talk, she would just have to find it herself.

With a slight smile, Miss Yumo looked down thoughtfully at the blue magic stone in her palm. ‘Little Sai, I hope this tracking gadget of yours doesn’t disappoint me.’

At the same time, atop the nearby ruins, a man wearing tattered official robes slowly crawled out from an underground shelter beneath the debris. This was the official named Pelochi, who had been dispatched to Windward City by the Snownight Empire’s imperial family.

At this moment, the official was holding a device that looked like a camera and pointed it at the black-haired girl floating in the air.

‘So, that is the Blood Butterfly? Heh, this was truly unexpected intelligence that must be transmitted to the Crown Prince immediately.’
