Let them live with that regret for the rest of their lives!

That damned Holy Maiden of the Eternal Church, why did she have to disappear at this crucial moment?

"Then let's go and kill them all. If nothing unexpected happens, they should be adventurers. Compared to ordinary people, sacrificing adventurers to a great being should satisfy Him."

A thin woman emerged from the shadows. Under the light, her sunken cheeks were visible, but even so, it was still clear that she must have originally been quite beautiful.

4. Because of the crackdown by the Imperial government and the Eternal Church, they had not made sacrifices to the King of Gluttony for some time. If they hadn't found this remote village and sacrificed the people there as well as the bandits in the bandit stronghold, they wouldn't be alive now.

The Er should not have been like this, but their stronghold in the main city was found and destroyed the day before the sacrifice, and even the sacrifices prepared in advance were rescued.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have come all the way here.

Han said, "It seems like this is the only way. We'll take action when it gets late at night."

Although we don't know how strong those people are, there are four fifth-tier individuals and more than a dozen fourth-tier individuals among them, so they should have no problem dealing with ordinary adventurers.

They probably won't be unlucky enough to encounter someone of the fifth rank or higher at this time.

While the group was discussing their plan, Elise and her companions, taking advantage of the shadows, arrived at the outer perimeter of the bandit stronghold.

After observing for a moment, Lumia whispered, "Should we have Vanessa just take care of everyone inside?"

Vanessa, the goddess of the earth, could easily collapse an entire stronghold, crushing everyone inside.

"I want to test my newfound power."

"In that case, I request to use the demon horns!" Elise had promised to lend her the demon horns, but she hadn't used them yet.

"Alright then, but be careful. Don't use your angelic powers when you're in demon form, or you'll die."

"Ah."

Elena looked at Lumia, who was beaming with excitement, and wondered why the other woman was so excited.

Having obtained the devil horn, Rumia did not hesitate to plunge it into her heart. An incredibly evil power surged from the wound and then enveloped Rumia.

As the pitch-black light dissipated, what appeared before everyone was a demonized Rumia.

It was neither the fallen angel Elise had guessed, nor the succubus Rumia had hoped for, but the Angel of Pleasure.

She didn't know how Rumia became a Pleasure Angel after her demonization. Elise was very curious whether the Pleasure Angel was an angel or a demon, or both.

At this moment, Rumia no longer exuded any holiness; all that remained was an aura of decadent pleasure.

Feeling the newfound power, Rumia's eyes sparkled with unparalleled excitement. Yes, this was the feeling.

Elise asked, somewhat surprised, "Can you use charm now?"

Rumia gently shook her head: "No, but my [Holy Face] has transformed into [Enchanting Face] in this state, and I also have some other new abilities."

"Then hurry up and try it. The demonization ability only lasts for five minutes, so it's best not to exceed that time."

"Also, don't use your alluring face on me," Elise said irritably.

It's one thing for Rumia to always use her holy face to influence me, but now she's not forgetting to use her alluring face on me. I'll definitely teach her a lesson when we get back.

Rumia playfully stuck out her tongue, then flapped her wings and flew towards the bandit stronghold.

Seeing that Rumia had started to move, Elena did not stop in place. She directly stepped on her flying sword and soared into the sky.

The maid glanced at Vanessa standing next to Elise, then said softly, "Then, Miss, I'll go help too."

"Go."

A flicker of excitement flashed in the little maid's eyes, and she vanished into the shadows.

“Miss, may I come along?” Isabella looked at Iris expectantly.

"Go ahead, try to avoid fighting fifth-tier opponents. I believe you can do very well."

Seeing the heart-shaped mark appear in Iris's eyes, Isabella looked somewhat dazed, then a fanatical look appeared on her face: "I will annihilate anything that threatens Miss's safety."

After Isabella left, Elise snapped her fingers, and the ground beneath her feet began to tremble. Then, a circular stone pillar with a diameter of five meters rose from the ground, lifting Elise and Vanessa dozens of meters into the air.

As a priestess of the earth goddess, she gains many bonuses when standing on the earth, but this does not mean that she cannot occupy a commanding position.

Although she was very conspicuous, those cultists were probably too busy dealing with these intruders to pay attention to her.

Even if they noticed, it wouldn't matter; they simply couldn't get close.

宭H留零侕尔珊咝b爸〤似

Elise launched an attack wielding the Eloise.

The power of devouring transforms into arrows, which devour and sacrifice the fourth-tier cultists the moment they touch them, even if they hide behind obstacles.

The power of devouring will completely engulf any obstacles.

Elise even had her own spies scattered throughout the base, which could help her aim and also spot targets hiding among them.

Many cultists also discovered Elise's location, but even if they found her, there was nothing they could do. She was too far away to attack her. Even if someone tried to get close, they would be shot dead as soon as they showed their face, leaving no trace of their body.

Cover and blind spots were useless. Even in complete darkness, the enemy seemed to be able to pinpoint their location completely, and every arrow that fell killed a comrade.

Some people had hoped that their fifth-tier leader would be able to take care of the archer first, but soon they saw their leader, along with a strange woman, begin slaughtering his own comrades.

Of the remaining three fifth-tier fighters, one was dragged into the shadows and disappeared, one was pinned to the wall by a magic flying sword, and the other was fighting a fourth-tier fighter to a standstill.

Whenever that fourth-tier woman was severely injured, an arrow brimming with life force would fall upon her.

By the time they realized they needed to escape, it was too late.

Volume 1: Chapter 155 Solve it Yourself

As the battle ended, the stone platform beneath Elise's feet sank back underground, and countless butterflies fluttered behind her, forming enormous, eerie, and magnificent wings that carried her to the ground.

The original bandit stronghold has been riddled with holes and pits by Elise's ranged attacks, and it seems that it may collapse at any moment.

There was nothing she could do about it. Ever since these cultists discovered her, they had all been hiding in bunkers one by one, and Elise could only use her Devouring Power to throw the bunkers and the people inside into the trash can.

Elise threw most of the cultists into the trash, leaving only a few who were charmed. She planned to send these few cultists to create insect nests in different directions.

If insect nests are spread all over the world, sooner or later, everyone will be able to contact the people they want to contact, even if they are thousands of miles apart.

This is a huge project, and it is extremely dangerous.

After all, although these insect nests are currently still under Wendy's control, once the insect queen is revived, control of the insect nests will be taken away sooner or later.

To make the most of the benefits from the insect nest, you must find a way to eliminate the insect queen before she fully recovers.

Rumia had already ended her form as the Angel of Pleasure, but the fifth-tier cultist she had bewitched was not freed from the spell and still followed her around with fanaticism.

Upon seeing Elise, she quickly approached and said, "Master, aren't you about to advance? Why don't you devour him too?"

Elise thought for a moment, then activated the Gluttony Brand, stuffing the other person into the trash can as well.

Incidentally, he also sacrificed the other two fifth-tier corpses to the trash can.

As for the one who was dragged into the shadows by the little maid, he has already been eaten by her dagger.

After sacrificing a large number of cultists, Elise's strength successfully broke through to the fourth tier.

The main problem is that she has too many marks and blessings on her body, which makes her level up extremely slowly. However, because of the Gluttony mark, her rank doesn't have a big impact on her.

Although she has only just broken through to the fourth rank, her attributes are already stronger than those of an ordinary fifth rank.

Moreover, after Elise broke through, she didn't need any time to familiarize herself with her own strength. She died and came back to life countless times, and she even ascended to the throne of a god, although only for a brief moment. Then she burned up everything and vanished into thin air.

But at least it left someone with a glimmer of hope; it's just unknown what will happen next.

"It feels like there's no need to clean up the battlefield." Elena scanned the area and found nothing except for the spatial rings on a few fifth-tier individuals.

Because everyone else was sacrificed by Elise, leaving nothing behind.

"I wonder if there are any survivors?"

“No more.” She had seduced the leader of the cult and inquired about this question carefully; all the cult members were present.

"Looks like I'll be able to get a good night's sleep tonight."

Elise yawned lazily. Although these cultists posed no threat to them, an attack in the middle of the night would disturb her sleep.

When Jiu returned to the town, Sally, who hadn't participated in the battle, breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing everyone return. She was still somewhat afraid of being left alone at the inn.

"Has everything been resolved?"

"Okay, get some rest early tonight. You'll be free to do whatever you want tomorrow after we take you to Antia."

"Um, may I ask about my sister?"

"Hiss. Her situation is currently beyond your reach. Even if I give you information, you'll just be sending yourself to your death. Be patient."

Sally pursed her lips, then said to Elise, "Then I want to acquire more spatial magic."

"Okay, I'll give you the information you need once we get there."

After receiving a positive reply from Elise, Sally nodded and went back to her room to rest.

Just as Iris was about to go back to rest, she suddenly noticed that Rumia's expression was a little off. Her face was flushed, her expression was dazed, and she looked like she had a fever.

Elise quickly realized why the other person had become like this; it was simply due to overuse of the power of pleasure, something she herself had experienced many times before.

It's not serious right now; just bear with it and it will pass. If it really gets too bad, just move your fingers—it's easy to solve.

This situation is generally unlikely to occur. It's just that Rumia went a little too far when she transformed into the Angel of Pleasure and didn't pay attention to the use of the power of pleasure, or rather... she did it on purpose.

Noticing Iris's gaze, Rumia quickly walked over, looking directly at Iris with her large, watery eyes: "Master, I want to..."

Wu Yin?O 玐拔p⊙轳y?q?un

"Solve it yourself."

"Oh."

After Yili Yisi's bizarre departure, Lumia also appeared in the house with a puzzled look on her face. She was thinking about where she had given herself away, since her behavior seemed perfectly natural.

When you first encounter a demon horn transformed into a Pleasure Angel, isn't it normal to accidentally overuse the power of pleasure?

Rumia racked her brains but couldn't come up with a solution, so she had no choice but to go back to her room and solve the problem herself.

As for asking anyone other than Elise for help, she didn't even consider it, because in her opinion, no one else was qualified except for Elise.

In fact, Rumia forgot something very important: Rumia is a saintess of the Eternal Church, and her willpower is exceptionally strong. Otherwise, Iris wouldn't have needed to stay by her side for so long to seduce her.

In Elise's view, that level of pleasure power wouldn't have such a significant effect on Rumia, so she was certain that the fallen saintess was deliberately putting on an act for her.

If it wasn't intentional, she could lend a hand.

……

The next morning, everyone got up, packed their things, and prepared to leave.

It was still done via Sally's long-distance teleportation.

After a day of rest, Sally had fully recovered and, after confirming that everyone was ready, she initiated a long-distance teleportation.

After several teleportations, the group successfully arrived at a plain near Antia.

As soon as they landed, several third-tier monsters attacked, but before they could get close, they were pinned to the ground by Elena's magic flying sword.

Elise didn't waste any time either. She stuffed the insect eggs into the monster's corpse and then let the insectized monster scatter to establish insect nests.

"Have we already arrived in Antia?"

“That’s right, this is the south side of Antia. If we go straight north, we’ll get there quickly.”

Although Sally could teleport directly into Antia, it would be troublesome to move around if she entered without registering to enter the city. That's why Elise set the teleportation point outside the city.

Next, all they need to do is enter the city as adventurers.

I wonder what Nora is doing right now. Elise misses her quite a bit after not seeing her for a while.

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival everyone!

Volume 1: Chapter 156 The Truth Is Most Shocking When Discovered by Oneself

"Is that the City of Miracles?"

Elena, arriving in Antia for the first time, looked at the enormous city built on the water with surprise in her eyes.

Although at first glance the city looks like an isolated island on the water, a closer look reveals that a large portion of the city's buildings are submerged, with the buildings on the surface only being part of the underwater structure.

"How did they manage to do that?" Elena asked, somewhat amazed.

"Antia's existence relies on an ancient magic circle. As long as this magic circle exists, it can separate water and even build structures in water."

"So, if the magic circle malfunctions, this place will collapse too?"

"You guessed right, but for now there's no problem, since there's a ninth-tier being guarding the place," Elise said calmly.
