Chapter 71 - 71 : Bloody Day (1/2)

”Delia! A goddess like you dares to bully juniors? Seriously gods these days think they are above all or what?”

Zodiak's skeleton appeared in front of Lucy, when the pressure was lifted, Arthur appeared next to Lucy to support her, a moment ago, he couldn't even move from that pressure, it's like something was restricting his movements.

Delia, who was floating and only gazing at Lucy, was startled by the sudden turn of events, and when Zodiak's voice rang out, don't speak of her body, her entire being became afraid, she spoke in an inconsistent and hesitant manner while her bright silhouette seemed like it was shaking.

”S-senior Z-zodia-k? I didn't know you are in this L-lower Realm..”

Zodiak slowly advanced toward her while lifting his right hand and snorting

”Hmpf! Scram from here, but before you go, give me your soul essence..”

Delia, who was acting majestic a second ago, became extremely flustered, to meet someone as tyrannic and terrifying as Zodiak, she surely has one hell of a bad luck, yet seeing Lucy, some stubbornness appeared in her eyes, she unconsciously clenched her teeth and replied

”Senior Zodiak.. This...”

Before she could even finish, a small vortex appeared next to Zodiak, and the silhouette of Delia was sucked by it with a fast speed, the goddess shrieked as she was being sucked by that vortex, even with her godly powers, she couldn't resist.

Just as she was going to be sucked, the vortex stopped and what appeared what a woman who was about 1.75cm, long blonde hair and snow-white skin, the most astonishing thing is that she wore almost nothing, just a white cloth that barely covered her lower part and her bulging double peaks.

She was truly a goddess, but unfortunately, her hair looked disheveled, she looked fearfully at Zodiak, or more precisely, his corpse which was made of only skeletons.

”Girl, don't try to play things with me, give me your soul essence!”

Although he threatened one more time, Delia still stood there, shivering in front of him, as if it was a mouse in front of a cat, she didn't even dare attack or even look up to him.

”Senior Zodiak.. You know that it's f-forbid-den for u.u...us gods to g-give our s...soul essence.. please..”

The lifeless eyes of the corpse flashed red for a moment before Zodiak hand was lifted and a vortex several times bigger than the previous was created, this time, it wasn't a black vortex but a violet one with some loud screams coming out of it..

”You know what's this right? I'll give 5 seconds, you better not play tricks and give me your soul essence or suffer the consequences, I don't have time to play with brats like you which still didn't even reach adulthood!”

Slowly, the goddess was being pushed into the vortex, and this time, her face paled even more as she saw the vortex and heard the screams, so without delaying for even a split second.

She spat a golden blood out of her mouth, it was just a drop but she seemed a lot weakened when she did that, the drop of blood slowly floated toward Zodiak who was looking at her coldly, prepared to finish her at any second.

Just as the skeleton was about to touch the golden drop of blood, it suddenly disappeared along with the goddess.

First, Delia wanted to get Lucy too, but seeing Zodiak here, she didn't even dare try to get Lucy, if she escaped that in itself is a goddam miracle, much less escaping with another one.

Delia suddenly disappeared and the big white crystal began shining even more brightly.

The eyes of the skeleton glowed blood red as a grey mist came out of the skeleton.

”Girl, you're overestimating your abilities”

As he said that, dozens of black talisman were created out of thin air and in lightning speed struck the glowing crystal, blocking all the light, in just seconds, the white crystal which was brighter than the sun, became a black ball covered with talisman.

Then the figure of Delia appeared yet again, she floated slowly to the ground while heavily panting, she didn't look like a goddess right now, if you add a collar then you would surely think she's a pretty slave.

Her majestic aura or calm demeanor disappeared since the skeleton appeared, for her, this is her worst nightmare, for someone like her, a lower God to meet him shows how unlucky she is.

Zodiak didn't stop, one golden talisman was created again and struck her at her abdomen, the poor Delia shrieked for a second before she calmed down, her face was so pale that anyone would think she's a corpse.

She already fell to the ground and could no longer get up, she didn't even have the strength to move because of the golden talisman along with the black talismans that struck the crystal.

Soon, the golden talisman entered her abdomen as if it was melting, then all of a sudden, the figure of Delia began shrinking slowly until it was the size of a fist.

It stayed like that for a couple of seconds until it transformed into a big white pearl, it looked breath-taking, and every now and then, it would glow with a blue light.

Zodiak held for a second before he turned toward Arthur and spoke after gazing at him for some time

”Here, this is your new pet, consider it a gift, but boy, don't count on me everytime you mess with someone more powerful than you, this corpse only has a bit of my conscience and can only awaken a few times, by sealing that girl, I already used a lot of my reserve, don't go around causing a mess everywhere...”

As he was talking to Arthur, he frowned for a second before he said

”Deity Realm... I'm quite surprised, last time, I came you were barely in the Spirit Realm, yet now... never mind.. here, use this talisman, put it on your companion, her origins are special and any god can guess that so this will help her for the time being”

A violet talisman was created and floated next to Arthur, he was still shocked by what just happened, nonetheless, he took the talisman and nodded.
