1168 Who Are You, Really? (1/2)

When those that almost uttered Miluya's name got destroyed almost instantly, those that survived kept their mouth shut. There were those that knew Miluya's real identity. However, due to the threat of being annihilated, they kept away from her, as far as they could. The others were completely clueless to what and who Miluya was, to what the Decaying Domain was.

If not all Primordial Celestials knew who Miluya was, Jiang Fei, a player, would surely be clueless. To be honest, when he was about to figure out who Miluya was, the reactions of the other Primordial Celestials provided further clues, raising more questions than answers.

Even though he was craving to have his questions answered, his attention was more focused on the battlefield than on Miluya. He was watching how the Primordial Celestials were being rendered debilitated. There was nothing they could do but despair.

The few Primordials that knew who Miluya was, portrayed a similar expression that Jiang Fei knew too well. It was the same expression when Jiang Fei was about to deliver the killing blow to his enemies, the expression of intense fear. Although it varied from Primordial to Primordial, most of them were showing the same fear. Like how a defenseless lamb was being cornered by a pack of hungry wolves — a creeping sense of despair when escape was impossible.

Miluya's Domain of Decay was not that big but when the Primordials tried to escape via instant teleportation, Miluya would appear behind them like their own shadow. Every one of them would go through the same process. They would start by running away, followed by Miluya chasing them relentlessly, and it ended with them accepting their deaths.

\”Please! Mercy!\”

\”Don't kill me! I'll do whatever you want! Please let me live!\”

\”Mercy! Have mercy!\”

Only those that did not know who Miluya was started to plead, to appeal to her compassion. While pleading, they were careful enough to not even mention her name, else they would end up dying instantly.

They could plea, they could beg, but Miluya did not show a single shred of mercy to the NPCs. When all of that was happening, she was facing her back to Jiang Fei. Jiang Fei could not see how Miluya was actually smiling, both eerily and sinisterly. It was a smile that Jiang Fei himself had made before, the smile of a killer that had nothing to lose, nothing to feel remorseful about.

…

\”Just end my life! Stop torturing me!\”

\”Kill me now. Spare me the torture!\”

…

As long as it seems, those that could no longer take it finally crumbled. Death was but the end of the entire process of dying slowly, the pain of being tortured slowly by Miluya was greater than actually dying. In the end, those who knew Miluya's real name ended their lives. Even though they did not utter their name, the intention was there and somehow, Miluya knew it and activated some sort of skill which instantly made their body burst into smithereens. Those that did not know her real name had to suffer the entire process. They did not even have the chance to commit suicide.

\”What the hell… This is torture on a whole other level,\” said Jiang Fei, overwhelmed by fear as well.

\”Kill me! Please! Just kill me now!\”

\”Oh, adventurer! I am but weak now. Come and kill me. End my life. Isn't that what you all crave for? Kill me and claim your prize!\”
