Chapter 600: Confused Heart (VIII)

The darkness that had shrouded everything receded. Rhode and the Sadist reappeared in the sacred hall again. She gritted her teeth and laid on the ground with tears welling in her eyes, gazing at Rhode in desperation. However, Rhode simply disregarded her and pressed down the creases on his clothes before walking toward the throne.

“Mr. Rhode. Ah… Mr. Rhode…!”

The Masochist bound by the steel chain attached to the throne stuck out her chest and turned to Rhode. Then, she stooped down like an obedient dog and rubbed her head against Rhode’s leg. “Ah… Mr. Rhode, I’m so touched that you’ve chosen me. I’m yours. My everything belongs to you. My body, my soul, my skin, and every single strand of my hair belong to you. No matter how you treat me and no matter what you make me, I will do it with all my heart. As long as you allow me to stay by your side, I don’t need anything else, not even my dignity. You can treat me as a bitch, a pet, or anything else. As long as you like it, I don’t mind being a tool to sate your lust!”

“Are you willing to do everything for me?”

Rhode lowered his head and caressed Lize’s cheek. Lize shivered in excitement.

“Yes, Master. I’m your most humble servant. I will do anything that you ask me to!”

“Good. Now, I have something that I need your help for, Lize.”

“No problem, Master. What do you need me to do?!”

“It’s simple.”

Rhode’s voice and merciless dagger pierced into her chest. The Masochist widened her mouth and the flickering dagger stuck in her chest emanated faint radiance. Scarlet blood flowed out of her wound, tainting her body and ground. She shuddered and opened her mouth to yell, but sucked in a deep breath of air instead due to the immense pain.

“Your suggestion is pretty attractive, but I’m sorry. I prefer the usual Lize, and not a pet who has lost its self-conscious and only knows how to beg for pity. If you’re my enemy, I’d be glad to see you behaving like this. However, as my companion, I don’t wish to wipe out your conscious.”

Rhode stroked her cheek. It would be a lie if he apparently wasn’t moved by her words. Just imagine how arousing it would be for a close, beautiful young lady who had abandoned her pride and displayed a defenseless manner before one. It was especially so when she was ready and compliant and one could do anything to her without any follow-up responsibilities. This was exactly a man’s dream.

But Rhode had no intentions of doing so.

Because he understood Lize’s feelings and he had no need to deal with her using such a cruel method. Besides, he didn’t wish for such a Lize.

Although this personality appeared harmless, Rhode had to kill her because these two personalities weren’t naturally created in Lize’s mental world. Instead, they were extreme personalities formed and misguided by the Mind Devil. If Rhode kept this personality alive, Lize would slowly draw close to it and grow into that personality. However, Rhode didn’t wish to see this happen.

That was why this had become the only choice for Rhode.

“Wake up, Lize. The dream is over.”

Rhode drew out his dagger.

Blood spurted out from her chest and splashed into the air. The Masochist fell on her back and gaped, but she didn’t make a sound. Shortly after, specks of light dust emerged from her body and fluttered into the sky while parts of her transformed into a pile of sand completely.

“What a… heartless human, Master…”

Celestina crawled to her feet and her wounds were slowly recovering. She ground her teeth and gazed forward. After Rhode murdered the Masochist, the Sadist on the other side crumbled and shattered into light dust simultaneously. Celestina lifted her proud chin and let out a snort.

“Humans have strong desires and these are the sins for us, Demons, to lure them into the trap. Desires that are too strong will only lead to destruction and this is the same for both Humans and Demons. However, Humans are incapable of self-control. They know that it is a glass of poisonous wine, but those idiots still fly into the flames bravely like moths. They abandon their rationality, all for the sake of their instinctive enjoyment. How foolish.”

Celestina turned to Rhode.

“Frankly speaking, I thought that you wouldn’t make this decision. But it seems that you still pass as my master.”

I see.

Rhode twitched his brows to Celestina’s remarks. He was still wondering why she stayed behind despite her grave injuries. It was actually because she was observing his choice. Indeed. Lize with the masochist personality was indeed attractive and it was extremely difficult for a normal man to reject her advances. But even so, Rhode had chosen to annihilate her.

“Since I’ve seen the interesting ending, I shall return for a rest. I hope you will remember this, Master. Human sins and desires are extremely amusing, yet dangerous…”

Celestina gazed at Rhode with a complex glint flashing in her eyes before transforming back into a hovering summoning card. Then, the card flew to Rhode’s hand in a beam of light and he captured it subconsciously.

But strangely, the card didn’t land in Rhode’s palm. Instead, it seemed to have maintained its summoned status and spinned non-stop. The pitch-black card emanated specks of magical radiance and the residual light spots in the positions where the two Lize personalities had died floated toward it. When the light spots arrived, the pitch-black card suddenly released dark ripples. The light spots responded and slowly gained shape. Shortly after, they transformed into equally pitch-black cards with scarlet pattern by their borders and appeared before Rhode.

Celestina’s voice sounded once again in Rhode’s ear.

“Take this as a reward for satisfying me, Master. Be grateful in accepting it.”

“Leader!”

At this moment, Anne’s loud voice sounded behind him. He turned back and saw Anne darting toward him with her raised shield.

“What happened? That huge monster suddenly shattered. What about Lize? How is Lize doing?”

“Lize is… Be careful!”

Rhode’s response turned into a warning. Anne rolled to the side swiftly and plunged her shield into the ground. At this moment, two dark tentacles struck the shield and the collision released glaring sparks. Rhode dodged to the side abruptly and brandished his daggers without hesitation. The dazzling blade rays instantly interwove into a net of light and shredded the ambushing shadow into bits.

“You’re finally here. I thought you would be hiding forever.”

Rhode lifted his head and gazed at the sky in the distance. A pitch-dark round sphere hovered in midair and countless dark tentacles fluttered around it. Above the sphere was a pair of red eyes, which made the monster looked exceptionally strange. However, Rhode disregarded it and shifted his vision downward. He spotted his target. Beneath the pair of red eyes, the true Lize was there. The Mind Devil was devouring its prey slowly. If Rhode failed, Lize’s will would be affected deeper and deeper under the Mind Devil’s influence. In the end, her mind, will, and spirit would be devoured completely. When that happened, the Mind Devil would leave Lize’s body and seek for a new prey. Then, Lize would be dead.
