125. I am your master, you know~
“Shadie.” Alicia widened her eyes. Earlier, she had been fully focused on battling Lilith, so she hadn’t noticed how Elrose had transformed into Shadie.
Elrose smiled slightly and instantly appeared in front of Alicia with a swift move.
She stretched out her delicate fingers and gently caressed Alicia’s fair cheek. In an instant, the makeup on Alicia’s face disappeared, revealing her stunning true beauty.
Elrose smiled faintly: “Alicia, your true self is really beautiful, I like it very much.”
“Th-thank you.” Alicia’s cheeks flushed slightly. “Um, Elrose, now…”
“I am not Elrose.”
Before Alicia could finish her sentence, Elrose coldly interrupted her.
“My name is Shadie, and some call me Little Shadie.”
“I am the messenger of justice, the dawn of salvation.”
“I am the endless darkness that rises from the abyss, and all evil will eventually be devoured by me.”
“This is who I am.” Elrose curled her lips into an evil smile. “My beautiful and captivating servant, do you understand what I said?”
“Servant?” Alicia was taken aback and immediately swatted Elrose’s little hand away, rebutting, “I am not your servant.”
“No, you are.” Elrose smiled wickedly, and the mark of the Master of Demonic Marks in her hand suddenly glowed.
A fierce fire surged from Alicia’s lower abdomen, and the next moment, she doubled over, kneeling on one knee in front of Elrose, clutching her stomach.
“Little Shadie, you…” Alicia’s face turned pale, realizing she never expected that Little Shadie would directly control her through the Heart-E magic.
The next moment,
Elrose gently patted Alicia’s head and smiled tenderly: “Hmm, this is how it should be. This is the posture a servant should have.”
“What do you want?” Alicia glared at Elrose fiercely.
“I don’t want anything.” Elrose slightly bent her knees, lowering her sight to the same height as Alicia and pushing her forehead against Alicia’s. The two locked eyes. “Hey, Alicia, do you still remember how this Slave Mark appeared?”
Alicia was silent for a moment: “It was because of the ogre.”
Elrose slowly shook her head: “No, that is just the surface reason. The fundamental reason is that you bit me back after I showed you kindness.”
“The Heart-E magic is forged from blood. As long as you didn’t bite me, nothing would have happened.” Elrose said, “So, in short, this Heart-E magic is a punishment for you.”
“This…” Alicia found herself at a loss for words, unsure how to counter Elrose’s statement. Noticing Alicia’s silence, Elrose smiled faintly and slowly rose.
“Alicia, stop thinking about it. Don’t regret it anymore; the facts are already set in stone.
You are already mine, and I will absolutely not let you leave easily.
You will stay by my side forever, repaying me with your entire life.”
Hearing this extremely evil statement, Alicia’s eyes widened in shock. She truly did not expect Little Shadie to be such a twisted person.
It seemed she really misjudged her; Little Shadie was not the righteous person she envisioned.
But in fact, Alicia was completely mistaken.
The only reason Elrose spoke this way was—because it sounded cool and powerful.
“Awaken, blood, sacrifice…”
Just then, accompanied by the cold voice from the scythe, Lilith’s blood surged, and without any hesitation, she swung her massive scythe and in an instant charged behind Elrose.
“Lilith, backstabbing is not a good habit, you know.”
Elrose grinned and quickly grabbed the scarlet scythe with her other hand.
A massive dark demonic power surged into it.
“Eh?”
Elrose frowned slightly; she originally planned to use her magic to explode the scythe, but its toughness was extraordinary, and the energy contained within was terrifyingly strong.
Elrose carefully examined the scythe in Lilith’s hand, and her eyes suddenly widened.
Damn it, this thing looks familiar… Could it be that artifact of the Blood Clan?!!
Elrose was suddenly surprised.
Among the seven strongest Demon Clans, each has their own artifact. Although its power doesn’t compare to those legendary artifacts, it is still enough to rival the divine tools forged by the ancient giants.
Its power was remarkable; back in the day, even I (Gideon) almost faced defeat.
Elrose’s lips slightly twitched. How could this thing appear in Lilith’s hands?
Fortunately, with Lilith’s strength, she couldn’t fully unleash the weapon’s power. Otherwise, even I would not be her match.
“Corrupt, erode, light.”
While Elrose was pondering, the huge scythe flashed with red light, and an extremely crimson corrosive energy was released in an instant.
Elrose’s expression changed, she quickly let go and grabbed her cloak to shield herself, a dark magical barrier instantly appearing.
“Boom!”
The red light and black barrier collided fiercely, resulting in a violent explosion.
Elrose was forced to retreat with Alicia.
She glanced back at her cloak, now riddled with corrosion and holes. The smile that had previously been calm vanished immediately.
So strong. Elrose couldn’t help but exclaim.
“Little Shadie…” Alicia also noticed the damage on the cloak, realizing that Elrose had suffered losses in their earlier confrontation.
Alicia’s eyes darted around and then said, “Little Shadie, you help me suppress that scythe, and I’ll find a way to separate it from Lilith.”
Although Elrose’s previous words annoyed her, clearly this was not the time to quibble over that.
“Call me master.”
“Huh?” Alicia was slightly taken aback.
“You are my servant, so you should address me respectfully as your master.” Elrose said seriously.
Alicia’s mouth twitched twice, and then she could only helplessly say: “Then, my esteemed master, could you please help me suppress that scythe? I will find a way to separate it from Lilith.”
Elrose nodded gently, a satisfied smile appearing on her face.
“Very good, that’s the way to go.”
Elrose extended her right hand and grasped the air, a dark longsword instantly appearing in her hand.
Demon Sword Apophis, drawn.
Elrose smiled confidently: “Let’s go, Alicia, keep up with me. This is our first collaboration, so show me your strength well.”
