After biting the gag, the black sorcerer’s mouth ripped and musty blood seeped out. Valac clicked his tongue and said.

“I captured her without any wounds, but this stupid sorcerer’s still going wild and getting herself hurt.”

Then, Lara said to the black sorcerer.

“If you’re thinking of cooperating, blink or nod. You’d better not refuse. You may want to bite your tongue and die but I know a lot of ways to keep you intact.”

Though her explanation was long, Lara’s attitude was lukewarm. No matter what the black sorcerer decided, it was not much different. No matter how hard the black sorcerer struggled, Lara did not even react to her and said what she wanted to say.

“I know how you feel when you worship demons, but how long do you want to wait for that cold-hearted guy? He’s not ascending no matter how much you offer the sacrifices. You know what? You underlings that act passively are not attractive. You have to move on your own without being told what to do to prove your usefulness.”

A bit of ridicule from her tone and an attitude as if it was troublesome for her. Lara was opening her mouth out of obligation.

“Do you know that Vassago is a candidate for the demon lord of this generation?”

At first, the black sorcerer did not seem to listen to Lara no matter what she said. But after listening to that, her eyes flinched noticeably.

“Do you know the sacrifice that he needs is a black sorcerer? So far, you have only offered either people or innocent animals, then, you request him to ascend right away, right? You haven’t even thought about offering yourself.”

Cling!

Cling!

The chains wrapped around the black sorcerer’s hands and feet shook violently.

“I’m a saintess, but I’m not the saintess that people think of. I think you probably know that better than I do.”

Lara unfolded the crumpled prophecy in front of the black sorcerer. It was a prophecy that undermined the saintess, written by them under Vassago’s revelation. For the first time since they gleamed with madness, the woman’s eyes shook anxiously.

“Let’s exchange what we want.”

Lara said.

“Be the sacrifice. Then, I will make Vassago ascend.”

The black sorcerer, who was mumbling as if she was biting the gag, bowed her head. She rolled her eyes and fell into thought. Lara could tell that much without having to check, she told her that she would give her plenty of time to think. After Lara stepped back, Valac approached her and whispered.

“If she becomes a sacrifice, she will die… Will she cooperate?”

“She will do it.”

“How do you know?”

“That’s how worshiping works.”

“What?”

“A demon who feeds off his own pride like you wouldn’t know, but that’s what worshiping is. It’s reckless that they are willing to give up not only their own lives but also other people’s lives. Why else would demons imitate religion instead of making their worshippers be like a state or army?”

“Haa…”

“Now she’s going to ask.”

“Ask what?”

Valac was genuinely curious. His master seemed to be a saintess only on the outside, and he really wanted to know what she was thinking. It seemed like it was the same for the captured black sorcerer.

The black sorcerer contemplated with her head down, then she raised her head and blinked at Lara.

“Release her gag.”

When Lara gave out her orders, Valac approached the black sorcerer with an uneasy look and loosened the gag in her mouth. The gag was dampened by blood and saliva and spilled on the ground. Valac could not stand it and took out his handkerchief to wipe his hands.

The black sorcerer was still staring at Lara.

“Saintess… Lara.”

A hoarse voice came out of the black sorcerer’s mouth, like a boy in puberty.

“When His Lordship ascends, you will all be torn to death. You’ll become a handful of blood and seep under the ground! The luxury and glory that you’ve enjoyed so far will disappear…”

“Shut up. Are you going to cooperate?”

“What a fool! You talk carelessly when you don’t even know how terrifying a demon lord is! The God you serve won’t even be worthy enough to be his mouthwash!”

“I got it.”

She could just say that she would cooperate but she kept saying something else. As Lara was bored by the black sorcerer, she approached her closely and said.

“You’re going to be the sacrifice, right?”

“I have a question.”

“Took you long enough to ask.”

“What are you up to? How can a saintess help the ascension of the demon lord…”

It was natural for the black sorcerer to express her doubts. Of course, Lara did not intend to explain honestly.

“Look carefully.”

Instead, Lara put Valac in front of the black sorcerer and ordered him with a gesture. Then, Valac revealed his teeth to the black sorcerer. His ordinary-looking fangs grew long and popped out like a beast. Red energy lingered around his eyes and there was a strong smell of blood.
