Chapter 1336 - Scepter of Victory (1/2)

Rhode’s words eventually moved the little Celestina to reconsider her decision. And she finally decided to challenge her two big sisters and gain the status and power she desired. Rhode was glad about the result and even snickered a little as soon as he discovered Celestina’s weakness.

That’s right, be it the arrogant missy, this seemingly naive little girl, or that SM queen in the sexy outfit, they all shared the demons’ most lethal weakness—the desire for power. It was apparent for the missy, but the little one was also the same. A demon’s characteristics were sinister, cunning, selfish, and full of desire for power. This was the most vividly embodied even in that little Celestina. But due to her age, it made her cunningness seem a little adorable. But despite that, its nature would never change.

Well, Celestina was still a demon, after all.

At that moment, Rhode hid in the corner, watching the little Celestina sneak back from the edge of the wall. The little one was also a somewhat straightforward person. As soon as she decided to deal with her two sisters, she took actions immediately and left her hiding place along with Rhode. She was afraid that they would capture, do terrible things to, or send Rhode away while she was gone. That was why she brought him along and went after her two sisters. After all, she was Celestina too, and held a certain degree of dominance in the mental world. However, she didn’t go straight to stir trouble with her two sisters, but took Rhode for a sneaky walk instead, before slipping away and returning to his side after a while.

“What have you been up to?”

Looking at the little Celestina who crawled up his arm with a grin as soon as she returned, Rhode inquired curiously. Although this little one was equally as dangerous as her two sisters, fortunately for him, after she tasted the sweetness he gave earlier, she was a little more attached to him than the others. Perhaps to her, Rhode was like a useful toy that could satisfy her and she just couldn’t put him down. It was also normal for a child to keep their favorite toy with him or her and not let go.

Upon hearing his question, the little Celestina winked proudly and spoke with a smile.

“I went to help my big sister who was locked up.”

“Help?”

“Yeah, my other big sister doesn’t like her, so I helped her unlock the cell door. Perhaps by now…”

Boom!

Before the little one finished her words, they heard a loud bang as if something was blown by a strong gust and shattered upon crashing onto the floor. Shortly after, Rhode heard the high-pitched laughter of the SM queen from nearby.

“Wahahaha! I never thought I’d be able to get out again! Hahaha, I’m not going to lose to you this time! I’ll show you who the real owner of this place is!”

Soon after, Rhode heard a whistling wind in the distance of the corridor that lasted for mere seconds, before vanishing entirely. Looking at this scene, he was bewildered. It was only when the little Celestina chuckled and tugged his hand that he returned to his senses. He lowered his head and couldn’t help but look at her with a somewhat complicated expression. As expected of Celestina. Even if this little one behaved innocently and purely, the evilness and cunningness of demons was deep-seated in her bones.

“Come with me, Rhode, we’re going to see a good show.”

The little Celestina had no idea what was going through his mind, or maybe she didn’t care in the slightest. She chortled, grabbed his hand, and turned into another intersection along the corridor. The little one reached out her hand and knocked on the wall. Soon after, a door appeared on it again. Then, she pushed the door open and led Rhode into what seemed to be another corridor.

During this period of following the little Celestina, Rhode became somewhat aware of her abilities. To put it bluntly, she was like a little mouse capable of digging holes anywhere and at any time. He witnessed more than once her fumbling with an otherwise empty wall, creating a door and proceeding to enter another corridor. Perhaps that was why she was able to get away for so long in the mental world without ever being discovered or caught by others. After all, with her abilities, it was apparently easy for her to avoid detection by the other two Celestinas. And it looked like this little one also had her own map radar. No matter how powerful a BOSS was, it couldn’t capture a target who could activate a map and teleport away anytime, could it?

Unlike before, this corridor wasn’t as pressurizing and gloomy as the ones he encountered. On the contrary, it looked like a suspension corridor built around a cliff. Through the open space on the left, Rhode clearly saw the opposite cliff, as well as scorching lava spewing down from above like a waterfall. The burning heat waves were somewhat suffocating.

“This way, Rhode.”

Carefully walking to the railing of the corridor, the little one peeked out, looked down, and seemed to notice something as she beckoned to Rhode with a smile. And when he saw her signal, he rushed to her side hurriedly and followed her gaze down the corridor. He witnessed two figures fighting each other at the bottom of the lava waterfall. Unsurprisingly, they were the missy and the SM queen.

At that moment, they lashed their whips at each other, battling above the pool of boiling lava. The demon who finally regained her freedom was undoubtedly in an uncontrolled excitement. She flourished the long whip in her hand continuously in a fierce attack at the enemy before her. Meanwhile, the missy was a real piece of work too. As Celestina’s ‘self-esteem’, she was more concerned about her nobility than anyone else, and as a superior being, her strength was naturally greater than most. The fact that she was able to dominate in Celestina’s mental world was an explanation to the problem itself.

Thus facing the demon’s attacks, the missy looked more than capable of handling them. Although the demon’s attacks were unceasing, it still wasn’t a problem for her. It wasn’t her first time fighting this demon either, so she was quite familiar with her fighting style. Right now, however, she didn’t seem all that relaxed. Instead, she sulked and looked stern. This wasn’t because of the demon’s attack, but rather, she realized that something was happening in her world that she wasn’t aware of. This worried her greatly. It first started with Rhode’s disappearance; she began to feel that something was wrong because this was her mental world and she was the owner of it. It could be said that there was no way for Rhode to leave his cell without her permission. But it was a fact that he had left, so that meant that someone had opened the door for him. But how was that possible? There was only Celestina and the demonic Celestina in this world. The latter was locked up by her, so it wasn’t possible for her to help Rhode escape.

But before the missy figured out the reason, she was stunned to find the demon escaping from her cell and even attacking her. It wasn’t shocking that the demon challenged her. Instead, what astonished her was… How did she escape from her cell? One had to know that when the missy locked up the demon back then, one was only allowed to enter but not leave. That was why Rhode was able to enter easily, but it was almost impossible for him to get out. But now, not only did the demon escape, but she also attacked again? Something must be wrong!

“Who let you out!”

At this thought, the missy couldn’t help but tremble. This was her mental world. It was imaginable how horrible she felt when she found out that something completely unexplainable happened in a place she was supposed to know everything about. It was like one who lived in a house for decades and suddenly realized that the house was haunted. Similarly, lingering fear struck her. However, in response to her question, the demonic Celestina laughed heartily, waved her hand, and flung out her whip, snapping at the prey before her again.
