King of succubus-Chapter 312 The Deal.
Instantly, her visual field gradually became blurred as she collapsed to the ground!
After a minute, she heard footsteps coming in her direction.
"Shit! I should never have used this skill." She said, trying to catch the spear in front of her.
But regardless of her efforts, she could not reach her spear, which was just ten centimeters from her.
"Haha!! How interesting it is, no, it's unprecedented! My sister really created fucking puppets capable of defeating even primordials who would underestimate them!" Serena's erratic voice resounded near her.
Hearing this familiar and nightmarish voice, she hardly opened her evasive eyes and looked at Serena, who had her golden arrow in hand.
But the latter was not unscathed; she had a giant hole in her left chest that could let a tennis ball pass through it!
'How can she be alive when she has such a huge hole in place of her heart?!' Ashia stuttered while continuously spitting blood.
But despite her pitiful condition, she had a small triumphant smile on her lips that did not leave Serena indifferent.
"Is it pride that I see here? Umu, Umu, you deserve to be proud after having managed to inflict such damage on me. Oh my goodness, who would have thought that a being as insignificant as you could give me so much trouble by surprising me like that?" She retorted as she approached Ashia, who was pitifully lying on the ground.
*You're wrong; I just realized how weak you are as a primordial being. This attack could not even have caused Lady Rina a scratch. But you, without using your primordial form and your concept's powers, are no more potent than a mana beast!* She mocked her by telepathy using the little energy she had left.
"?!" Upon hearing her words, Serena's expression darkens.
"Pay attention to your words; they may force me to change my mind and kill you here!" She retorted while looking at her own chest, which regenerated instantly!
*Ahahah... kill me? Do you only have the capacity? I know why you didn't try to influence my destiny directly with your concept. As I am a being devoid of destiny, you cannot grasp and modify my destiny thanks to your concept. You are weak and powerless in front of me; how do you feel now? I am sure all the other primordials will laugh at you if they learn that the person you called insects had managed to inflict such damage on you!* Ashia continued to make fun of her even though she was defenseless in front of her.
Instantly, Serena appeared in front of her with bloody eyes. Although carefree, like all primordials, she also could not afford to tarnish her reputation and pride.
"You are right; this situation is so humiliating for me that even killing you here will not satisfy me! But on the other hand, if I don't kill you and let you live, I should live with this shame. Ah, my bad~ I'm perplexed there.
-On the one hand, I promised not to kill you regardless of the situation, but on the other hand, I cannot afford to leave a humiliation that you have become for me, continue to live." She murmured, wiping the blood on Ashia's lips, and looked at her with disbelief when she saw the traces of the golden colors in it. 𝑓𝔯𝑒e𝘸e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝚕.c૦𝙢
'As I imagined, my precious little sister used her concept of blood to create this clone. I was really an idiot for not having noticed this detail earlier. But seeing the complexity of this clone and the frightening powers she possesses, not to mention her ability to use the unique magic of these red lizards (red dragons), her flames of hell, and above all, to be able to use the concept of blood, I can say that none of us could accomplish such a feat.
-For the simple and good reason that we do not have the Prima concept, which is more wonderful than all other concepts according to the classification of our concepts by the goddess herself. This concept is not only based on both malice and hope but also based on both the creation and destruction of lives.
-Sigh, I did not understand at first why a simple concept of blood that consisted only in manipulating primordial blood is more classified than other concepts; but now, I am beginning to understand. Apart from the goddess, she may be the only one to create other primordial beings. I wonder how powerful her planet and the beings she will create will be if, one day, she decides to create them.'
As she was immersed in her thoughts, Ashia slowly closed her eyes.
But she didn't let her lose consciousness. She gave tiny slaps on her cheek, forcing her to open her eyes.
"You still don't intend to fall asleep here in the middle of nowhere, do you?" She Says.
Even if her words resembled those of a person worried about her neighbor, her eyes arched with her mocking smile contradicted her words.
And Ashia knew that she didn't care about her life; otherwise, she would have already healed her, providing her with energy.
*Tsk, Tsk, tsk! I'm really starting to wonder about your identity as one of the Punishers; oops~, I meant as a Leader! Because, unlike you, even these bastards have pride and principles. They will never lower themselves, never act like you after such humiliation.
-Finally, I don't care. Kill me, or do as you wish. But in the end, you will see me soon and with a power that will exceed my current power. And at that moment, it is not only a hole that I would leave in your chest but rather your life that will be my trophy! *
"Haha, fun! I almost want to kill you here and now to see how much more you will entertain me." She commented, looking at Ashia's scarlet red pupils with amusement.
Conversely, Ashia's eyes flickered mysteriously after hearing Serena's words.
'If she kills me here, I would no longer have the chance to help the master. In addition, I wouldn't be surprised if she also took care of Nicco and Helene after taking care of my case. I have to save more time while waiting for these two to arrive! I'm sure that with the two others, even if we can't kill her, she won't have the slightest chance of blocking us!' With this conclusion, Ashia's smile grows to her ears.
"What if we resume from the beginning? This duel was, until now, boring and one-way just because I'm not complete. I'm sure we can kick your ass without any problem!" She replied after recovering some of her endurance.
"We?" Asked Serena with a frown.
"Yes, I have already invited two of my teammate to our party, and they will be here soon. If I cooperate with Nicco and Helene, it's not revenge that I would offer you, a direct ticket to hell!" She continued sarcastically by hardly placing her trembling hand on her chest and used her healing magic to improve her condition.
Although Serena noticed her actions, she did not stop her. But instead, she remained silent while seriously thinking about her proposal.
"Fufu~, I had already noticed two ants coming towards us. But I thought they were just curious spectators. But on the other hand, this proposal is so enticing that I can't help but be baited by it. But I have only one condition, as long as they are as powerful as you then--??
She stopped in her sentence when she saw Ashia's disdainful smile.
"Fufu~, according to your expression, I can already guess your answer! Incredible!!" While loudly shouting these words with incredulous eyes and filled with endless curiosity, she placed her hand on Ashia's forehead and helped her by accelerating her healing!
Seeing her actions, and the mischievous smile on her lips, Ashia had incredulous eyes.
'Sigh, it's not even surprising that this woman betrayed the Punishers. But one thing is for sure; she has no camps, just collaborators! I'm not even sure she can tell the difference between good and evil! I am sure that mistress had come to the same conclusion. This woman's madness goes beyond all understanding; whether it's her nature or her personality, nothing makes sense. It's too much, even for those who have lived millennia!'
The more she thought, the more she felt like she was in front of a madwoman who had acquired superpowerful power and exercised it without worrying about the consequences.
'But it's a good thing that she's so easy to handle. I'm sure I'll defeat her if I have Nicco and Helene with me. Originally, Helene was the weakest of us. But since her resurrection, Lady Rina seems to have more confidence in her abilities than Nicco and mine. Sigh, now it seems that I am the weakest among the three of us. Even if Nicco is boring and more carefree, I only have 30% victories over 70% losses against her.'
While continuing in her thoughts, she got up and sat with her legs crossed and continued her meditation.
Meanwhile, Serena did another action that went beyond the imagination of Ashia, who was no longer surprised by her madness.
She showed two dark spiritual stones that had mysterious and potent auras.
Feeling the surrounding energy become richer, Ashia opened her eyes and finally noticed the two spiritual stones of primordial rank.
The next moment, she looked at Serena with suspicion.
"Fufu~, I only expect one thing in exchange, that you use all your power to fight without worrying about your master. The stele brought them to a place where time passed like on a second-tier planet. In other words, it has not even been ten minutes since their departure. And for them to enter the room, they must imperatively inject primordial energy into the seal to open this creature's prison." She said while moving away from her.
Ashia, for her part, did not comment.
'I now understand why the master ordered me to join him as quickly as possible. It seems that Lady Rina knew what was waiting for us in this sealed area.' She said to herself, closing her eyes again, but this time, with a sigh of relief.
--
Meanwhile, as Serena had said, Alvine and the others had not even moved from their seats yet.
Not that they were waiting for Ashia, but because of a disruptive factor they had not considered.
After being swallowed up underground by the stele, the small elite squad arrived in a white room of thirty square meters with dozens of demonic skeletons. fre𝙚𝓌𝒆𝚋noѵel.c𝚘m
But unlike before, the skeletons did not rise; instead, it was the room that was strange.
'Sigh, this place has sealed not only our powers but also our bodily strength. But the worst thing about all this is that we don't know what happened when the stele kidnaped us. I need not only to know what happened when we were unconscious but also to know why this room looks like a prison intended to imprison the looters of graves for life?'
Alvine retorted in his thoughts by looking at the four generals examining the structure of the white room that had neither a door nor a window.
'If my hypotheses are correct, these skeletons and those we had crossed rather when coming here belong to those who had tried to seize the treasures in the grave. But if we do not find a solution, we will end up like those who died in this mysterious room.
-Even if we can resist famine and thirst for a year, we can't go more than a week without breathing. Although, even if I don't have a problem at this level, the others will die if I don't do anything.' He said to Himself while looking at the expression of others.
But the next moment, a tiny satisfying smile appeared on his lips when he noticed their calm in such a situation.
'They are impressive. Despite the dead-end situation, they manage to stay calm without losing their cold blood; it is an undeniable quality that every cultivator must have.' Just after finishing these words, he reached out his hand and tried to show his Gehenna flames.
But like the first time, from the emergence of his dark flames, the latter became fierce to the point of igniting the whole room!
'Sigh, so here is the greatest mystery. This skill I had never had trouble controlling has become so fierce that it's trying to escape under my control. What exactly does this place hide? It's almost as if there was my lord nearby. That's the only explanation for these flames to act in this way.'
