Chapter 205 For Demons (2/2)

Her blood floated and separated into a hundred drop of red liquid. They scattered and entered the mouths of all heavy cavalry soldiers.

'Soul bestowal completed. This young boy has already taken Tong's blood, so he doesn't need it. He'll get his wings naturally.'

Medusa slithered her snake tail toward the dead bodies of Wang Yun's bodyguards. The tentacle wings extended and each of them entered different bodies. Upon penetrating the corpse with her wings, the bodies began to decay at a rapid speed which could be noticed with naked eyes. They dried, withered, and scattered into ashes within a few seconds.

… 1,541,347 …

The eight dead bodies increased Medusa's lifespans by a few hundred years. After the tentacles finished with the previous corpses, they entered other bodies on the ground, draining the remaining life essence from the dead bodies until there was no Imperial soldier left on the ground.

Medusa could also drain lifespans from all the living beings. However, she only picked a few dying humans or wild animals instead of slaughtering everything in her path. Zuo Ci, who disapproved of native killing, was watching her. Since he had more wings than her, Medusa chose to avoid a confrontation or conflict with this sage.

… 1,554,649 …

Over 200 men's bodies gave her over 10,000 lifespans, yet Medusa's face did not show any excitement or satisfaction. In fact, she felt that it was too little.

'I should have stalked the battlefield and steal the corpses.'

The red eyes glittered with greed and pity. By draining the life essence of 50,000 corpses, she could have acquired at least 2,000,000 years of lifespans.

She swallowed her desire and approached Wang Yun, her foster father in this life.

Medusa looked at the sleeping old man with a relief expression. She smiled and carried him with her tentacle wings.

”Stupid father, I've come to pick you up.”

One of her wings entered Wang Yun's calf where it was shot by Li Feihong's gun.

… 1,554,648 …

With one year of lifespan sacrificed, Wang Yun's injury was healed. Seeing the wound had disappeared, Medusa looked at the sky. The sun had set, and it was already dark. It was the best time for her to fly.

'Oh right. I believe Wang Yun is carrying something valuable with him. I should get it back.'

Medusa took back the Emperor Seal and the Emperor Sword from Li Feihong as she needed these items for her future plans.

At first, she decided to pursue the Imperial Army to kill Liu Ping and complete her original purpose of coming into this world since there was not any restriction which barred her from killing an otherworlder anymore. While she was at it, she could take both these items and her foster father back to Luo Yang.

However, she found Wang Yun before she reached Liu Ping Army, and he was in a predicament situation. If Wang Yun were to be captured by Tong's allies at this moment, her plans would have been ruined.

Though she felt guilty for obstructing Tong, she had to do it for the bigger picture. The future of the demons was at stake.

Medusa could have helped Tong and Friday by joining their force. However, directly joining them would not be efficient as Tong would probably shelter her and limit her roles.

Another reason why Medusa chose not to join Tong at the moment because she could freely infect the locals. She could contaminate the water sources and crops with her blood.

The incubation period of the demonic virus usually lasted 20 years or higher. Therefore, in the future of the next 20 years, several natives would transform into demons and reinforce the newly found Hell Realm, or the new country that Tong was establishing.

Her realm creation duty was more important than Tong or Friday's safety right now. If she slacked, Liu Yang and Zuo Ci could surpass her, and their realms would suppress their new Hell Realm in the future.

And lastly, Medusa could exploit her current family status in an ingenious way that could catch all otherworlders and the native off-guard, including Zuo Ci and Liu Yang. It was the plan that she required the Emperor Seal, the Emperor Sword, and her foster father to return to Luo Yang alive.

She needed these to declare herself the new Empress and dethrone Liu Ping!

With the status of the Empress of the country, her influence power could benefit Tong and Friday in the long run. She could also draw the attention of Liu Yang and Zuo Ci away from her daughter and her son-in-law, making their future military campaigns easier.

Medusa glanced at the log message by the system goddess Lilith with a bitter smile. After rereading it, she closed her system menu and prepared to fly home.

'This is for our new paradise. I'm sorry, you two. Oh, I almost forgot. I have to kill that a-hole to complete everything.'

”[Wrath Soul]”

One of her black wings turned into a spirit of Gorgon. Her human body and snake tail were similar to Medusa's current appearance. However, she had an ugly looking face with scale skins, fangs, and a wicked smile. Her hair was the classic hair of living snakes which resembled the depicted pictures of Medusa in the legends.

'Go and kill Liu Ping. He will die a dog's death with this!'

The soul flew northward toward where Liu Ping Army was. With one of her souls departed to complete her mission, she looked back at her father.

”Let's go home.”

While her wings were wrapping around the unconscious Wang Yun, the snake tail exerted the force and leaped into the air.

Like an azure dragon, Medusa's long snake tail slithered through the sky. She passed Shangdang City to the south and reached Henei City within a few minutes.
