“Have you seen my daughter?”
Olivia didn’t change her tone or movements, as if her earlier words were just heartfelt utterances on the path of pilgrimage, and also comfort for the lost junior in front of her, but she still asked more concernedly about the whereabouts of the girl she cared about.
And at this moment, Philina immediately stood up, knelt on one knee, and lowered her head.
“I have seen her, Lady Olivia.”
“It’s all because of my overestimation of my abilities, my timidity and my arrogance, she was cursed by the evil god on her body, polluted her mind. Miss Simona tried to save her, however…..”
“Curse?”
The woman named Olivia was very puzzled.
As one of the strongest heavenly oracle envoys, she didn’t know about the evil god, and the fate after that.
What she remembered most clearly was that her precious daughter was named Gabriella.
And now they had all been reincarnated, she prayed under the divine maiden’s statue every day, and became increasingly immersed.
Philina’s appearance made this process complete quickly, letting her recall the past, and rediscover the powerful force hidden deep in her soul.
“After you passed away due to the curse, the evil god Isabella and the heavenly oracle envoys broke out in conflict. Although it ended with our victory, but she, in reincarnation, the divine maiden, my lord…..”
Immediately after, she informed Olivia of everything she encountered in the Demon King’s Castle.
Including her encounter with the Thunder Saint, including her anger and recklessness, how she harmed Simona, as well as the defiled Gabriella and the lost guardian divine power.
“Evil god, Isabella.”
Olivia closed her eyes.
She still remembered the tense relationship between that evil god and the heavenly oracle envoys, but didn’t expect that after her death, a war broke out.
Now she wanted to know more: why did the heavenly oracle envoys and the evil god break out in war?
Was it related to her passing and the evil god?
Philina continued to add, “It must be the evil god who framed you. Now, she still uses shadows to control Gabriella. If not for me..”
“Mm, no need to continue. I understand.”
Olivia touched Philina’s head, interrupting her.
“Sins can also be atoned for; we don’t know the truth yet.”
“I understand.”
She stood up, walked in front of Philina, stretched out her hand, and tried to touch the metal ring on Philina’s neck.
But when her slender finger touched the metal ring, several shadow tentacles shot out like spikes to counterattack.
“Wha….”
She recognized that what counterattacked her was not the evil god, but Gabriella’s power.
However, this silver-white power had been defiled and enslaved by shadows, turning this divine artifact into a polluted creation driven by shadows, evil and weird.
“Has the evil god Isabella gone to such lengths?”
She opened her eyes, a trace of worry and sadness emerged in her pupils.
“Wuu…”
Philina trembled; she understood that power had hurt Lady Olivia.
She became even more ashamed.
But she didn’t give up.
Silver-white magic emerged at her fingertips, like a small stream flowing in the air, drilling into the metal ring binding Philina.
She was familiar with Gabriella’s pure magic; she knew how to purify it.
For a moment, the pure silver magic entangled with the crimson and pitch-black shadows.
“Wuu.”
Philina trembled.
Realizing the stubbornness of this power might even threaten Philina.
Olivia did the opposite.
Since it was her daughter’s power, absorbing it wasn’t impossible.
The shadows followed the silver magic, flowing reversely into Olivia’s arm, instantly disappearing and hiding in her body.
“Mm.”
She let out a soft moan; the process was much simpler than she imagined.
The shadows in that divine artifact finally dissipated, then with a “ka” sound, it unlocked and fell to the ground.
Philina felt all her strength return, but gazed at Olivia with worried eyes.
The latter was already sweating profusely, as if absorbing those shadows had brought her serious impact.
“Lady Olivia, are you okay?!”
“I’m fine.”
Olivia knelt sitting on the ground again; her panting gradually calmed down.
“I can try to digest it. Don’t worry~ My precious daughter won’t do anything to me.”
“Yes……”
She stood up and walked quickly towards the sanctuary’s exit.
“Let’s go. I want to meet the evil god.”
“Yes!”
Philina stood up and followed closely; the corners of her mouth slightly upturned.
As long as she had Lady Olivia’s help, the evil god wasn’t invincible.
But what Olivia, walking in front, didn’t tell her was,
She placed her slender finger on her jade neck.
On that smooth as congealed fat, flawless tender skin, surprisingly a pitch-black diamond shape emerged, shocking, like a symbol of evil.
“Little Gabriella…..”
Olivia covered her chest, slightly blocking that ominous pattern.
Recalling the beautiful and cute smile of her daughter in her mind, her mood improved a bit.
What is the current Gabriella like?
She hasn’t already been transformed into an 【Apostle】, becoming the evil god’s subordinate, has she?
“Lady Olivia.”
“Oh?” Philina’s voice pulled her back to reality.
“Simona is transmitting to me…..”
A trace of apology emerged in Philina’s eyes, and not just to Olivia and Gabriella.
She gripped the knight captain’s badge in her hand.
“Isabella, my lord, master, let’s begin~”
In the bedroom of the Demon King’s Castle residential palace, it was another scene that Olivia was completely unaware of.
Pitch-black shadows like ink outlined a beautiful magic array on the soft bed.
The girl knelt in the center of the black magic array; her slender legs slightly splayed outward, that black nimble tail entwined with the Demon King’s tail.
Their ends pressed against each other, curving inward to form a beautiful heart shape.
Silver hair gently fluttered, accompanied by the girl’s delicate breaths.
The darkness in the magic array rolled more violently; a few strands of moonlight shone through the curtains into the room, illuminating Gabriella’s peach-pink heart-shaped eyes.
“It might hurt a little, wifey. Endure it a bit~”
The demonification ceremony.
Gabriella originally thought this was a relatively easy process, but didn’t expect that when truly in contact, she still noticed that the numbing sensation deep into the soul was too intense.
In the books she had read before, it recorded the ceremony of turning humans into demons.
First was the demonification pollution curse, then this ceremony would thoroughly pull them into the abyss, becoming fellow demons.
Originally, Gabriella had never thought of this day, the day of becoming a demon…. even the magic array was drawn by her request to the Demon King.
But now,
For the plan to succeed, for being able to conceive the Demon King’s child, she wouldn’t continue to delay~
As the purplish energy in the black magic array began to shine, several special shadow energies appeared at Isabella’s fingertips.
They were flexible like cobras; the purplish weird patterns like their source of power, and that power along Isabella’s arm, climbed up her waist, finally drilling into the pattern belonging to the master’s mark, merging into that dark magic.
“Ah mm♡!”
Gabriella’s pupils suddenly became dim and empty, then in the filling of dark magic, became spirited again.
In a daze, she noticed that the shadows residing in Philina had run to another person’s body, absorbed by her, merged into the body.
But she had no time to think about who that was; another surge of shadows entered her body.
“Master~ Ha, master♡.”
