Alpha was fuming.
‘Who taught you to say that!?’
Anger swelled in her chest, forcing her to cough up blood.
“I can grind you into the ground without using silverware~”
“Where’s that fierceness of yours, huh?”
With that, Tina grabbed Alpha by the head.
“I’ve always wanted to see that expression on your face, that jealous expression of yours~”
A few hours earlier.
“L-Lord, is this really effective?”
After hearing Lafeier’s advice, Tina felt a mix of unease and confusion.
Lafeier waved his hand and said:
“I’ll give you the most direct, most honest, most straightforward, most heart-wrenching, most hardcore, most concise, least tedious, most pain-point-striking, most ruthless, most to-the-point, most frank, most blunt, least preparatory, least formal, least sentimental, least wordy, least roundabout, least dawdling, least pretentious, least aloof, least verbose, least drawn-out, least euphemistic, least concealed, least secretive, most plain, most explicit, most practical answer: It works.”
Tina: (=ﾟДﾟ=)
Back to the present.
Tina’s smug expression and tone, along with her piercing words, caused Alpha’s face to cycle through pale, red, and livid.
What infuriated her most was that Tina had her by the throat, rendering her speechless.
Her body was also bound by some unknown force, leaving her completely powerless, helpless and furious.
The more triumphant she had been, the more humiliated she was now.
Then, under the shocked and bewildered gazes of everyone, Tina slowly walked toward the elevated platform.
She dragged Alpha along the ground, leaving a long trail of blood on the dusty floor, as if writing the inevitable fate of all these bullying lackeys.
“My brethren!” Tina roared, the lines already ingrained in her memory.
“My suffering, tormented brethren, it is time to rise up!”
“Let these traitors, these unrestrained dogs oppressing us, these scum of our kind, feel our wrath!”
“When we were forced to obey, we did right. But when we can shake off our shackles, we do even more right!”
“Take up your arms, revolt!”
“Return the oppression, humiliation, and pain we suffered a hundredfold, a thousandfold upon her,” Tina raised Alpha’s bloated body high, “upon these damned cell leaders!”
The black curse marks on Tina’s body and the silver-glowing dagger in her hand struck fear into the hybrids.
Yet these words struck like thunder into their hearts, dispelling what little surprise and doubt remained.
Tina paused, then tore open Alpha’s clothes.
Just as Alpha had humiliated and tortured her before, she exposed Alpha’s body, which had withered from excessive beastification into a bloated husk, for all to see.
At that moment, a few tears glistened at the corners of her eyes.
An immense surge of pleasure swept away the heavy clouds that had long weighed on her heart.
The pure white moonlight filtered through the riddled clouds, bathing her parched and withered heart.
Then, the relieved and jubilant heart began to pump out glistening colorful nectar, shining brightly on the other side of grudges.
She, who was once called Kelisidina, who now stands as Tina on this Silver Land, had achieved the most anticipated and gratifying feat in her heart!
“Lord Lafeier… I did it.”
She could feel Alpha’s trembling body, smell the unclean aura of fear, humiliation, and shame radiating from her.
Now, Alpha, on the brink of death, finally understood the cost of arrogance.
Tina left her no time for repentance.
The silver dagger cut through the night.
The scorching blood rained down on the angry hearts of the people, catalyzing into an even more intense emotion.
Each stroke emitted a great deal of white steam, accompanied by Alpha’s guttural whimpers.
From limbs to torso, and finally, severing the head.
The head rolled to the ground; the once arrogant face now just skin and flesh wrapped around two dead white eyes sunk in fear.
Safitiya was absolutely certain that this girl before her was no ordinary person.
Perhaps her intuition was right; fate had drawn her to stand with the girl, and together they would turn this world upside down.
Tina’s sudden appearance put an end to the internal strife among the hybrids.
“Lord Lafeier…” Tina murmured, then led the remaining hybrids charging toward the wall.
Outside the wall, Estina and the others saw the hybrids gathering, and a sense of foreboding rose in their hearts.
“Boss, they wouldn’t…”
“Don’t talk nonsense,” Estina quickly covered the guard’s mouth, “That wire mesh is silver-plated; how could they possibly knock it down?”
“The prison gate is narrow; no matter how many they are, they can’t break through.”
Hearing Estina’s words, the guards immediately sighed in relief.
Over a thousand hybrids, even after internal conflict, still numbered five or six hundred.
With that many, if they came for them…
The consequences were unimaginable.
However, before they could catch their breath, a huge crash shattered their peace.
Tina, the girl that Lafeier had taken special care of, actually twisted and snapped the thick wooden pole wrapped in wire mesh, causing the entire wall to collapse with a roar!
Estina couldn’t believe it; even if the girl was covered in curse marks, she would never mistake that face.
So, the one standing on the oil lamp fighting Alpha earlier was her!
“What… what the hell is going on!”
Estina cursed.
‘Leave, we need to leave quickly.’
‘If we don’t go now, we’ll be devoured alive by these hybrids…’
“Go,” Estina hesitated only for a moment, “Hurry, leave the prison!”
Suddenly, she remembered that the guard she had sent to find Lafeier had not returned.
Saying that, she sprinted toward the administration building.
“Boss, where are you going?”
The guards called out behind her.
“I’ll inform the others, you go quickly!”
“Lord Lafeier, and the others… you’d better all be in the administration building!”
…
The guards retreating toward the prison gate were not blessed by the gods.
The hybrids, far faster, easily beat them to the gate and blocked it.
“Tch… damn it!”
“What do we do, what do we do!”
“I want to resign, resign! Never being a guard again, boohoo!”
Seeing the hybrids gathering in greater numbers, the guards fell into deep despair.
They wanted to live; they didn’t want to die.
But no matter how much they wished, it was futile.
Everyone knew that these crazy hybrids would not let them off.
Rather than be caught and tortured, it was better to…
The guards huddled together, looking at the silver-plated iron piece hooked onto the noose.
Sharp enough to slit their throats.
“Hold on.”
A clear, calm voice tore through the oppressive air, letting fresh air rush into the guards’ stifled chests.
Everyone looked into the distance, their hearts beginning to race.
“That’s… Lord Lafeier!”
