"…"
Watching this scene, the Special Grade Cursed Spirit's eyes widened.
It defeated its own domain power with just magical power?
How was this possible?
It was a Special Grade Cursed Spirit; ordinary demons could never be its match.
Not to mention.
It didn't even use magic?
"An Upper-level Demon, no, you are at least a Top-level Demon?"
Looking at the calm Linde, the Special Grade Cursed Spirit's expression grew increasingly ferocious.
"In that case, you forced my hand."
It roared, already pulling out a crimson stone and swallowing it directly.
"Let me show you the power of the Killing Stone."
Boom!
A terrifying aura, centered on the Special Grade Cursed Spirit, instantly filled the entire space.
In just an instant.
The Special Grade Cursed Spirit's Cursed Energy and aura had increased by at least several times.
On the other side.
Feeling the change in the Special Grade Cursed Spirit's aura, Linde's face showed a hint of realization.
So that's it.
The strange aura just now was the Killing Stone.
Good heavens.
This world has a really good appetite; who knows what else it has stitched together.
"Demon, if you kneel and beg for mercy now, perhaps I can let you die a quick death."
The unprecedented power made the Special Grade Cursed Spirit incredibly arrogant.
His response, however, was Linde's cold voice.
"Is that so?"
Sound waves reverberated, and Linde's figure flickered, already appearing before him.
So fast!
The Special Grade Cursed Spirit's pupils contracted sharply, and twice as many tentacles as before blocked in front of him.
Linde raised his right hand, and a demon gun appeared, its muzzle emitting a brilliant light.
Pfft!
The magical energy beam completely pierced through the Special Grade Cursed Spirit's tentacles and body.
Before the Special Grade Cursed Spirit could even scream, a footprint had already magnified infinitely before him.
Bang!
A terrifying force struck, and the Special Grade Cursed Spirit crashed to the ground, its massive body crushing the earth.
"Ah ah ah ah!"
The pain that swept through its entire body made the Special Grade Cursed Spirit let out a mournful wail, and its entire body began to struggle wildly.
But Linde merely looked down at him, gently pressing his foot.
The next moment.
The wailing stopped abruptly, and the Special Grade Cursed Spirit's head was forcefully crushed like a watermelon.
"It's just a Special Grade Cursed Spirit; did you think you could be my opponent just by using the Killing Stone?"
Linde raised a hand, and the Killing Stone disappeared within a Magic Circle.
This thing is a rare item; keeping it might be useful.
On the other side!
Watching all of this, Izuki Tomo trembled uncontrollably, utterly terrified.
Thump!
Her legs gave out, and she plopped down onto the ground.
"What, not praying to your God now?"
Linde smiled faintly, bending down to lift Izuki Tomo's chin.
Her charming and beautiful face was fully revealed.
It had to be said.
As expected of someone from the hidden world, her art style was different from others.
Her strength was so great that even Leone and the others couldn't compare.
She was definitely infinitely close to an E-class powerhouse.
Most importantly.
He looked at the flickering Demon Contract, his eyelids twitching.
Good heavens.
This one was actually still untouched.
He had originally planned to kill her directly, but now it seemed he had to change his mind.
"No, don't kill me."
Izuki Tomo spoke timidly, appearing pitiful.
"Don't worry, I won't kill you."
Linde gently pinched her cheek: "After all, I welcome a wicked woman like you becoming a Retainer."
As for Retainers.
He was still very sympathetic.
On the contrary, like those Fallen Angels, there weren't enough of them to not feel bad about.
"Th-thank you very much."
Izuki Tomo spoke pitifully: "If you just let me go, I can pay any price."
Linde said nothing, merely casting a cleansing spell.
In an instant.
The blood and corpses in all directions had vanished.
The entire hall was as bright as new, spotless.
"Yes, I can give you money, lots and lots of money."
Izuki Tomo, whose mind was filled with fear, couldn't think clearly, only hoping Linde would accept her conditions.
Hearing Izuki Tomo's words, Linde looked down at her from above.
"I already have enough money."
"But you should be glad that you have something on you that interests me."
"I think you understand what I mean, right?"
Slap!
Izuki Tomo didn't react, only feeling a sting on her cheek.
"…"
She subconsciously swallowed, muttering in a low voice, "No, I can't. Everything I have must be dedicated to the gods."
"Oh, you mean the guy who was just lying on the ground?"
Linde smiled faintly, grabbing him by the neck and lifting him up.
"If you're so reluctant, I can send you to see him too."
A strong sense of suffocation brought the breath of death like a tide.
Drip, drop.
Warm liquid flowed onto the ground.
Watching all this, Linde said playfully, "It seems your faith in God isn't very firm, is it?"
"To be scared so badly you wet yourself, how pathetic."
Izuki Tomo rolled her eyes, struggling to squeeze out a few words through gritted teeth.
"Please… I, I don't want to die…"
Linde gently released his grip, and Izuki Tomo immediately gasped for air.
A moment later, she prostrated herself on the ground, begging for mercy repeatedly.
"It seems you've made your choice."
Linde extended his hand, placing it on her head, his thumb gently caressing her smooth, short black hair.
It was as if he was stroking a kitten.
"In that case, do what you should do."
Hearing Linde's words, Izuki Tomo immediately raised her head.
At this moment, she had no other choice.
No matter how humiliating, she could not defy the devil before her.
Damn devil, how dare he treat a servant of God like this.
Just you wait, one day… (Website: QQ Group: 284251450)
She roared in her heart, a hint of hatred flashing in her eyes from time to time.
But her thoughts became increasingly blurred.
The absolute suppression gradually emptied her mind.
Linde watched all this silently, yet he sighed.
"I said, no matter what you do, sincerity is key."
"Or are you just a half-hearted person, even with your faith?"
The cold words made Izuki Tomo's body tremble.
"Shut up, I'm not… half-hearted."
Her faith was trampled again and again, and for a short time, she overcame her fear, wanting to assert her will.
But when she truly faced it,
It was only an instant.
She was already struck hard, feeling dizzy.
Although she was a bishop of The Cult, at the end of the day, she was just an ordinary person.
Her body only had a bit of flexibility; other strengths were even below average.
Suddenly,
With both her will and physique being weak, she began to cry from the pain.
"Oh, I almost forgot to perform the Reincarnation Ritual on her."
Linde suddenly realized, extending his index finger and dripping blood onto her skin.
Buzz!
A brilliant light flashed, and a heart-shaped pattern appeared on her skin.
Countless mysterious characters were gradually inscribed upon it.
Pfft!
Her skin rippled.
A pair of slender demon wings unfurled from her back.
A tail with a heart-shaped tip continuously danced in the air.
"You… what did you do to me?"
Seeing the demon wings and tail, Izuki Tomo was completely stunned.
"Ah ah ah ah!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a pain originating from the depths of her soul spread throughout her body.
Linde was expressionless, dragging her across the ground with both hands.
Izuki Tomo looked at Linde from time to time.
Whenever hatred appeared in her eyes, the punishment of the contract would arrive as promised.
After an unknown number of painful experiences, her eyes were left with only deep fear and a deeply hidden attachment.
