Chapter 278: Chapter 276: Revenge
Endless Abyss, the Sealed Land.
Sea God Ethel glared at Rose with anger, "With such a broken magic puppet, the Divine Fragment can handle it by itself. Why did you need me to descend? Even if I had to descend, why must I act according to the commands of a girl whose divine contract level is lower than an ant?"
Rose smiled, "I see that you’re not too reluctant?"
Ethel snorted and said nothing.
Rose chuckled, "You wouldn’t think that by temporarily descending into the Divine Format using my power, you’d have a chance to escape, would you?"
Ethel remained silent.
Indeed, he had harbored such an intent.
But in the end, Rose did nothing but retrieve the divine power that tore through the sealing array using the Divine Fragment, and Ethel was disconnected from the Divine Fragment.
Rose said indifferently, "But I must thank you. Your descent confirmed one thing for me—the Divine Format does indeed have the ability to help me escape my predicament. Of course, your Divine Format alone isn’t enough. But it doesn’t matter; I have already tracked down the Ice God’s clues, with two more Divine Formats, my day of escape will come."
Ethel snorted, "Two-tenths of the Divine Fragment, dreaming of escape. It takes sixty percent of the Divine Power, not just one, all of them. As for my part, don’t even think about it. With Zeus’s design, the Sea of Tranquility is no safer than the Continent of the Divine Domain."
"Is that so?" Rose chuckled, "Go on, that girl is calling again. Don’t you want a devout believer?"
Reluctantly, Ethel descended to his Divine Fragment through the array fissure opened with Rose’s and the Divine Fragment’s power, sensing the lack of faith. Annoyed, he said, "A devout believer? She doesn’t even know who I am!"
...
Anarce’s rising momentum made Nosen feel uneasy.
Without hesitation, he ordered his subordinates, "Kill her."
The two subordinates holding Anarce, one wielding a dagger taken from Anarce, immediately raised it, aiming at her neck.
However, just as the dagger was about to touch her skin, a deep blue magic shield emerged around her, enveloping her completely, turning her into a small blue figure.
Anarce murmured, "I don’t know who you are, whether a god or an evil god, but you granted me the power of revenge, I dedicate everything to you, please wait for a while, I am almost done."
This time, she didn’t use the magic puppet; feeling the power transmitted through the magic puppet, her body struggled to withstand the mysterious force, tearing at her.
But...
It was enough.
Rip!
The ropes binding Anarce instantly shattered.
The two subordinates beside Anarce, intending to summon their magic puppets, were instead caught by their necks by Anarce.
Terrifying deep blue magic power blossomed.
Crack!
Anarce reclaimed her dagger from one of them and stared directly at Nosen.
"Nosen, I know Kreif initiated it, and I know after you saved me the first time, you ’took’ me from him. If you hadn’t done anything afterward, I would have been your loyal mage, your most devoted warrior. I don’t understand."
Nosen’s subordinates summoned magic puppets to charge, but Anarce pierced each with her dagger, stabbing deep into each magic puppet’s heart, causing them to explode. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
"I don’t understand why you did that? Why push me to the brink of despair, leaving my home destroyed and family ruined? Why are you so disgusting?"
Nosen summoned his magic puppet, quietly retreating, simultaneously sneering, "Would you feel guilty for killing a puppy’s parents, raising the puppy, playing with it, then killing it?"
Anarce showed a self-mocking smile, "Is this the arrogance of nobility? Haha..."
Subordinates rushed at Anarce, only to be taken down one by one by her enchanted dagger.
Meanwhile, Nosen had run to the hall doorway, attempting to escape, but collided with an invisible yet solid magic barrier.
He immediately commanded his magic puppet to launch a fierce attack on the barrier. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
Every spell struck the invisible shield, glowing deep blue, but had no effect.
Nosen was a bit flustered.
He turned to see Anarce had taken down most of his men, and the rest exchanged glances, retreating as she advanced.
"Stop her! No, kill her! Whoever kills her, I’ll reward a thousand gold coins!"
No one dared to move.
Anarce’s growing presence made them reluctant to resist.
The ones who died earlier were the strongest, and the rest were just idlers.
Some quietly edged to the sides, praying Anarce wouldn’t notice them.
Others simply tossed their magic staffs to the ground, "I’m not risking my life for 10 gold coins a month. Miss Anarce, please spare me. I’m only hired by Nosen; I haven’t done anything wicked, really, believe me."
Under Rose’s control, the Sea God’s power had not made her lose her reason; she softly said, "Those who wish to live, step aside."
Everyone scrambled aside immediately.
Nosen’s face turned grim, "I’m giving you one chance, stop her, or once I return, I’ll kill your families and then imprison and torture you."
Already unwilling to fight, the subordinates, hearing Nosen’s words, retorted, "Even in death, you run your mouth; you deserve to be killed. We’ll make sure to pee on your corpse once you’re dead!"
"You..."
Nosen stared coldly at their adversary.
The adversary shivered, but before Nosen could act, Anarce had already reached him.
One stab.
Nosen’s magic puppet was pierced directly into its heart by the dagger, causing instant explosion of the puppet’s heart.
In the unknown realm of the Sea God Divine Fragment, Ethel snorted, "A lower god’s divine format, thinking to rival my divine power? I can’t defeat Rose, but I can easily crush you."
As the magic puppet exploded, Nosen’s face turned pale; he frantically activated the master-follower contract in secret, but it did nothing to stop Anarce, the contract as if dead, did not respond at all.
Nosen forced a smile, "Anarce, I actually like you, otherwise I wouldn’t have saved you back then."
"Your way of liking is killing my whole family?" Anarce asked calmly.
Before Nosen could speak, Anarce continued, "I’m not like you. I like you, so I only kill you."
Phut!
The dagger plunged into Nosen’s body.
Nosen gasped, pain written on his face, "Truly, Anarce, don’t kill me, spare me, please? I could love only you forever, I could be your loyal mage, no, I’m willing to be your slave, forever centered around you... ah... don’t... stop, I beg you... ah..."
Anarce said nothing, just calmly pulled the dagger, stabbed again, pulled it, and stabbed again.
One stab, one stab, one stab...
