Facing the slowly approaching Liya, not a trace of wavering appeared on Morphis’s face.
She looked at the girl she held in her arms and spoke with concern.
“It’s okay. It’s going to be okay, Philina.”
“I… I… Mmm… Ha…”
Philina felt something strange in her head.
Suddenly her body refused to move.
The sensation was incredibly comfortable, yet it felt like a fatal candy.
Once you sank into it, there would be no coming back.
But she had already hurt so many people. Did she really still need to keep persisting?
“Gulp… Mmm?”
Philina suddenly felt moisture on her lips and teeth. Her hazy eyes realized that Morphis had kissed her.
The other girl’s face was flushed crimson, filled with tension.
Kissing on the battlefield?
What was Morphis doing?
However, Philina did indeed feel much better.
It was as if some of the darkness had been drawn out from her body, forcibly restoring her sanity.
She noticed a thin black thread hanging from the corner of Morphis’s mouth.
That too was shadow and dark demonic power. Philina didn’t dare delay.
I… I… Mmm.
Doing this would also pollute Morphis’s body.
But the kiss just now felt so good.
It was like Morphis had exposed her own vulnerability right in front of her. She liked it so much.
Philina didn’t know what was wrong with her. How could she be lost in such strange thoughts?
They were Heavenly Oracle Envoys with a [Mission].
They shouldn’t be troubled by such things.
They would not fall in love, and they could not fall in love.
Though the moment had only lasted a few short seconds, she quickly came back to her senses and focused all her attention on the battlefield ahead.
“Philina… Mmm.”
Morphis also felt something wrong with her body.
She had only wanted to suck the corruption out of her, and she had succeeded.
As a spellcaster proficient in magic among the Heavenly Oracle Envoys, she had once cast a “curse” on herself precisely so she could resist any spiritual or magical curses.
The evil god’s curse was powerful, but she should not be affected by it for now.
Yet after sucking out the shadow, her body had grown extremely hot.
Swallowing that curse into her stomach felt like swallowing a small fireball.
However, this scorching heat was not painful.
Instead, it made her feel excited and agitated. At the same time, her entire body tingled with numbness.
Was this the curse’s influence?
Philina’s taste lingered in her mouth for a long time.
Morphis let out a long breath, her face flushed red.
They were clearly in the middle of a dangerous battlefield right now.
Calm down. Calm down…
“Philina, are you alright?”
The two quickly separated, no longer touching each other’s bodies.
“Focus on the battle, Lady Morphis. I understand.”
Although the two quickly returned to a combat state, everything that had just happened had been seen clearly by Liya.
The corners of her lips curved into a sly smile, as if she had already understood everything.
Liya’s ability was “Puppet.” She controlled dolls by manipulating demonic power to launch attacks.
She could even control powerful Emperor-rank dolls, though it required a certain amount of preparation time.
The purple crystal in her hand shone with intense light. Then, shadows rose from the ground like black mud.
With rhythmic gathering and dissipating, the shadows converged into one girl-like figure after another.
At first there were only a few, but as more and more shadows rose, dozens, even hundreds of dark dolls appeared.
Purple-glowing magic threads extended from the crystal ball, connecting to the limbs of the doll girls like marionette strings.
Under Elsa’s protection, Philina and Morphis retreated backward.
These doll girls all possessed King-rank combat strength.
Philina fired an even brighter arrow into the air. It split into thousands of smaller arrows that rained down like a storm.
Silver-white flashes instantly pierced several dolls. When the arrows landed, they pierced through every single doll’s body.
Yet the dolls did not disappear.
They showed no intention of retreating and were only temporarily immobilized.
Seeing that the arrows could not completely “kill” the dolls, Morphis erupted with her strongest magic power once more.
She activated [Pray-er], and even more lethal white rays shot out from the book pages, instantly sweeping away half of the dolls.
“Careful!”
Just when the two thought the crisis was over, Elsa’s voice made them tense up again.
But it was already too late.
At some point, purple threads had descended from the sky like a massive net, completely sealing off all their escape routes.
Only then did Morphis realize that all the dolls had been nothing but a feint!
Relying on her speed, Elsa leaped dozens of meters away and escaped the danger zone.
The other two Heavenly Oracle Envoys were not so fortunate.
Philina’s hands were firmly bound behind her back by purple threads. Her legs were also tightly wrapped, forcing her to kneel on the ground.
Morphis was in the same situation.
Even more despairing was that threads had also wrapped around their necks, forming pale pink collars that emanated an evil aura.
The collars binding the two girls completely restricted the magic power inside their beautiful bodies. Countless threads pulled them together.
Their knight armor was torn apart like cookies, revealing fair, unblemished skin exposed to the dark environment.
It contrasted with the blushes on the girls’ faces, appearing incredibly desolate under the purple light.
“Ah… Haa…”
“Mmm… Haa…”
The dolls stopped moving at this moment.
A few seconds later, under Liya’s command, they ignored the already bound girls and turned toward Elsa instead.
They could barely muster any strength.
Soon, magic ribbons covered their eyes, making their already powerless resistance even more difficult.
As the soft darkness beneath their knees squirmed gently, the threads between the collars gradually tightened, slowly pulling the two miserable girls closer together.
They could clearly feel each other’s body heat.
“Philina, are you okay…?”
“Morphis… I-I’m sorry…”
Elsa looked at the two of them, showing no desire to act.
Lady Liya had no intention of attacking her.
But if she did not save the Heavenly Oracle Envoys, what kind of fate would await them?
No, they would not suffer.
They would simply be eroded by darkness and gradually turned into demons loyal to the evil god.
At most, they would receive some simple conditioning.
They would not feel pain.
On the contrary, being eroded by darkness might even feel very pleasurable.
The [Gift] she had received from Liya, the shadows she had received from Tina, felt completely different from the terrifying shadows in her memories.
“Elsa.”
Suddenly, a figure rapidly approached.
The sound of her big sister’s voice made Elsa regain her spirit.
“You go deal with Tina. Leave Liya to me.”
