“Sister! Sister!”
Camilla held Ophelia, her hands feeling warm and sticky.
The girl in her arms was as pale as paper, her breathing so faint it was almost imperceptible, and her life force was rapidly draining away along with her blood.
The short blade was clearly coated in deadly poison or dark energy, and it was frantically eroding her body.
Anger, fear, regret… all sorts of negative emotions churned in Camilla’s chest like lava, and she suddenly raised her head, her shining golden eyes burning with a tangible fury as she glared fixedly at that despicable sneak attacker.
The Dark Chimera also temporarily stopped creating magical beasts and attacking, its remaining compound eyes sizing up the newly appeared “bugs” with interest.
It recognized the evil aura on this human that made it feel a sense of kinship, which was very similar to those few guys who had tried to “rescue” it before, and it could not help but smack its lips as saliva secreted and dripped down, corroding a large patch of turf.
Feeling Camilla’s gaze and the Dark Chimera’s stare, the Evil Tamer’s heart instinctively shivered at first, but thinking that he was now the strongest of the three, his courage swelled again.
His eyes darted around, and he actually bowed slightly toward the Dark Chimera, speaking in a hoarse and unpleasant voice.
“Great existence, we are the Dark Demonic Beast Legion, and like you, we pursue power and freedom that transcends the mundane; these two humans before us, especially the blonde one, seem to have something you desire?”
Hearing the Evil Tamer’s words, the Dark Chimera nodded in a human-like manner, and the former continued with joy.
“In that case, why don’t we cooperate? I will help you subdue them and seize what you need, and you… perhaps you could become our legion’s most noble ally? We can provide you with more ‘materials’ so that you can create a more powerful army of dependents!”
The Dark Chimera remained silent, its compound eyes scanning back and forth between the Evil Tamer and the Camilla sisters.
It had zero interest in a so-called “ally”, but it desired the necklace on Ophelia’s neck, which was continuously emitting faint fluctuations, to the extreme.
Although this human who had suddenly popped up was weak and despicable, he seemed capable of saving it some trouble; after all, it had just fought a fierce battle with Victoria and then dealt with these two “bugs”, so its injuries were indeed not light and its power was greatly consumed.
The silence of several seconds felt as long as a century, and finally, the Dark Chimera slightly nodded its hideous head and let out an indistinct low growl, which served as tacit consent.
The Evil Tamer was overjoyed, the smile on his face widening and becoming incomparably sinister.
“Very good! Then… you’re a summoner, right? Then you must be that crazy woman’s student. It doesn’t matter if you aren’t. In any case, let me collect some interest from you first!”
His figure blurred as he no longer concealed his aura, and violent Dark Battle Qi erupted with a bang as he lunged straight for Camilla, while at almost the same time, several tentacles of the Dark Chimera also shot out like giant pythons from their den, sealing off Camilla’s evasion space from the side as dark purple energy condensed in its mouth.
“You ******!”
Camilla’s pupils shrank as she swung her sword to block the Evil Tamer’s heavy punch, and as Holy Light and Dark Battle Qi collided, erupting in a piercing clash, she retreated several steps.
Before she could even adjust her posture, the tentacles from the side had already struck.
She raised her arm to endure this lash, her Celestial Radiance Armor letting out an overwhelmed hum, and she was sent flying by the massive force, crashing heavily into a tree as a sweetness welled up in her throat.
Before she could even crawl up, the Evil Tamer’s ghostly figure approached again, kicking her hard in the abdomen until the light of the armor flickered violently before finally dimming and being forced to deactivate.
Camilla groaned in pain and curled up on the ground, the killing intent in her golden eyes undiminished, yet the intense pain still temporarily robbed her of her ability to move.
“Tch, quite tough.”
The Evil Tamer spat, no longer paying attention to the temporarily incapacitated Camilla, and instead walked toward the unconscious Ophelia, his eyes gleaming with lewdness and greed.
“As for this one… before handing you over to the Boss, I have to check carefully to see if you have any other treasures hidden on you…”
He reached out a filthy hand, grabbing toward Ophelia’s collar, while his other hand roughly went to tear the necklace from her neck.
“No… don’t touch her!”
She watched the enemy closing in step by step and looked at her sister’s pale face, and a bone-chilling despair and anger completely submerged her.
Flee? There was nowhere to run.
Fight? The disparity in strength was too great.
Could it be… that it really ended here?
No!
She still had one last card, a card she would rather have sealed forever than use.
Camilla’s fingers trembled as they brushed over her storage bracelet, and a black crystal engraved with an inverted pentagram appeared in her palm.
Inside the crystal, it seemed as if thick darkness was flowing, and just by holding it, an indescribable power attempted to corrode her mind.
This was the “Demonic Contract: Lilith’s Kiss”, a “gift” left to her by the Abyss Lord who had turned her into a succubus, or rather, a trap that had been buried long ago.
Currently, Camilla was not a demon in the strict sense, but at most a Half-Demon who could independently control whether to maintain a human form or a demon form.
But if she used this, Camilla would completely lose her identity as a human and fully transform into a member of the succubus race in the Abyss, with no possibility of changing back.
However, at this moment, Camilla could no longer care about such things; she only wanted to tear the enemy before her into ten thousand pieces!
The Evil Tamer and the Dark Chimera also seemed to feel the ominous aura radiating from that black crystal, and their movements paused slightly, but before they could stop her, Camilla crushed the crystal with force.
The black crystal fragments did not scatter but instead turned into a plume of thick, ink-like black smoke that instantly enveloped Camilla, and a blurry and enchanting female phantom slowly condensed.
She had a face that could topple nations, blood-red long hair, and curved demon horns on her forehead, and behind her was the phantom of bat wings that blotted out the sun.
The mere descent of her projection caused the surrounding air to freeze and the light to distort, causing the Evil Tamer’s movements to freeze, and even the Dark Chimera let out a wary low growl.
A lazy, charming female laughter that seemed to carry endless magic and malice rang directly in the depths of Camilla’s soul.
“Hehehe… my little darling, have you finally… figured it out?”
Lilith’s phantom let out a lazy and magnetic chuckle, her blood-red eyes playfully sizing up the disheveled but determined Camilla.
“What interesting thing have you encountered this time that made you willing to use this favor and carry out our transaction ahead of time? Oh, it’s these two little guys… how about it, tell me, what do you want?”
Camilla raised her head, the last trace of hesitation in her eyes completely burned away, leaving only the madness of burning her bridges.
“Save my sister! Kill them! What do you want? Souls? A contract? Service? I’ll give them all to you! As long as you ***** can give me enough power—now!”
She pointed at the Evil Tamer and the Dark Chimera, her voice hoarse but resolute.
Lilith’s phantom was stunned for a moment, the smile on her face deepening as if she were seeing some interesting scene.
“Hehehehe… now, as you wish…”
She reached out a phantom finger and lightly tapped Camilla’s brow.
“Accept this ‘gift’, my little darling, and let me see just what kind of beauty you, pushed to the brink, can bloom into…”
Boundless and majestic demonic power, like a flood bursting through a dam, surged into Camilla’s body.
