14 The Betrayal of the Demon Queen | Chapter 0 This is not the End of Me” (1/2)
***
A soft beautiful voice rang in the darkness,
”It is... complete.”
A bright light shone from an altar, jaggy edges with needle-like cover. Flowing down from its black metal pillar... is a dark red blood, it's slowly flooding the whole floor.
At the center of the Altar, exist a small glowing dark sphere, the light spiral inside as gloomy dark aura coming out of it.
”Fufufuu, with this… the whole world, will soon… be mine”
The woman is clouded in a jet black robe, with an eerie staff floating behind her.
She took out some sort of circlet, it filled with many brilliances of diamonds. Slowly taking the sphere from the Altar, she snaps it right at the middle of the circlet, emitting light so blindingly, and then slowly faded to a dim purple mist.
The woman laughs in a sinister tone, she wraps the edges of the circlet with a purple headdress and wears them, her purple eyes turned even more vivid.
She lifted her hand and staring directly at it, she spoke, ”Status... Open”
Suddenly, a series of Notification appeared at her hand, her eyes widened as the [Message] enlarging at the center of her vision.
*BOOM*
The woman slammed her fist down at the altar, completely destroying it to smithereens. She gritted her teeth, ”Don't fuck with me, I've sacrificed… more than hundreds of millions of demons... all of it, just to raise you…”
Veins popping out of her eyes, ”And you… a Demigod?” Clenching her fist tight, she said, ”You're telling me, those uncountable amounts of EXP… can only upgrade you… A LEVEL!?”
Her eyes filled with immense anger, she goes down on all four, and then repeatedly punching the ground, it shatters with each of her punches landed.
She yelled, ”AAAGHH”
*Boom*
”HAAAGHH”
*Taks*
”HAAAAAGGGHHH”
*BOOM*
The crack on the ground grew even wider, and the blood starts to fill them like a pond of water.
She closed her eyes, ”How can this be…” she said.
With all the anger dissipated, her mind is now filled with confusion. She calculated everything correctly, but somehow, it went wrong.
It is far from her prediction.
”Just how much exactly… do you need… to grow…”
”What kind of Monster do I need to kill… for you to level up?” her mouth trembles, ”Why… why can't it go… smoothly… like we did in the past.”
She was about to shed a tear, but,
Suddenly —
A black shadowy figure emerges from behind, slowly creeping out with its light-colored eyes. It brought chills down on the woman's spine.
As she turned her head behind, she saw it.
The tall shadowy figure, its appearances akin to that of an insect. With crown-like horns on its head, sharp claws on its hands, and a pair of wings on its back.
Slowly, she stood up. ”Biris, why do you come here?” she asked.
The woman shivered in terror. However, she kept firm looks without showing any emotion of fear, in fact, it seems she is also garnered a feeling of hatred. She gritted her teeth and shouted, ”State your intention!”
Biris opened his arms, gesturing as he talks, ”I… merely wanting to… congratulate you. Not many… can achieve… the 9000… marks.”
The woman's eyes narrowed down to a slit, she didn't like it when Biris does not being upfront with his intention, ”If that's all, then we're done. Leave!”
She didn't want to waste any second, she turned around and was about to walk away. But then Biris started to laugh again.
”Kahkakakaa”
The woman trembled by the sound of him. Turning her head slightly, she glared at it. ”Talk, and if you don't leave before I came back, I'll tear your body apart.”
Clearly, she doesn't want to be in the same room as him, and it surely not because of some frivolously pink reasons.
”Heh, tear is it? Indeed, your magic… is one of the strongest in the demon realm… of course, you would… be able to do that… and that would be... quite heroic… for you… to do.”
”…”
There is a moment of silence between the two, and the woman couldn't hold it any longer, she turned her head back and walk away again in a hurry but calmly.
But all of a sudden, Biris spoke, ”I heard you have… quite an interesting item.”
Her eyes widened, ”What are you talking about?”
