"You really have to work on your definition of 'cuteness' and 'adorable' because whatever that is, it's far from those." Erica rolled her eyes at Chrissy, who's still staring at King Pride with starry eyes.
"Well, what can I say? I've always been a unique gal." Chrissy chuckled while she scanned the surroundings.
The two of them don't seem to be aware that they're being stared at by everybody here. Their presence interrupted the on-going fight, and neither of them seems to be apologetic for it.
The sin demons felt uncertain. How did these girls come in? How were they able to slip through this prison undetected? Wasn't this place supposed to be sealed in all sides?
They have been trying to discover any type of weakness in this prison in hopes of making it out and pushing their advantage. However, no matter what method they tried, all of it failed. They're also absolutely sure that these girls weren't here initially. If they were, then why would the humans look shocked at their sudden appearance?
This meant that they had the means to freely get in and get out of this place. But the difference between their sides makes the sin demons certain that these girls will never tell them about it.
As for humans, well, even if they were asked, they wouldn't know what to say either. This wasn't included in the plan. Chrissy and Erica really did come here on their own. They also thought that this prison should've been sealed from all sides. They've run multiple steps prior to this event, and they were absolutely sure of it. So even they are confused about how these two got in.
If there's anybody who seems unconcerned about their presence, it would undoubtedly be King Pride who's in his mindless state. To the current him, whether these two appeared or not doesn't really change his objective. It's just two more targets to be devoured. It's no big deal.
Because Chrissy and Erica appeared closer to King Pride's location, he unhesitatingly switched targets. He left Charles' androids and immediately went straight to the girls, uncaring whether they're prepared or not.
Seeing this, Charles felt his heart sink to his stomach. But just as he was about to shout at them to be careful, he saw Erica responding to the incoming threat with a calm and unhurried flick of her golden staff.
Bang!!!
The next second, everybody saw how King Pride was sent flying back twice the speed as he charged in the opposite direction. Erica used a relatively simple spell to do this.
It's called the 'Shock Blast'. It's a quick spell that repels any harmful threats to the caster. This spell was one of the apprentice-level spells, one that only Superhuman Mages used. However, with Erica's skills and mastery, even this basic spell became useful and terrifying.
King Pride slammed on the barriers of the prison with a pained grunt. His huge body was seemingly embedded there for a couple of seconds, eyes wide, looking sober for the briefest of moments in surprise as he felt pain since his transformation. However, this sobreness quickly faded away.
The snaketail did it, feeling its fangs sinking on her delicate flesh. It also tasted her blood gushing through its mouth, which it eagerly devoured while simultaneously injecting tens of milliliters of its venom to flood her entire body.
King Pride expected Chrissy to immediately collapse on the ground and start twitching in pain, mere seconds away from dying due to the sheer amount of venom ravaging her body from the inside.
But that scene never happened...
Instead, Chrissy coo'ed while petting the head of the snake. Her eyes shone with gentleness but also mischief.
"Aww, go on, baby. Drink up lots of my blood as you wish." She muttered softly. She then gave Erica a look of pity, saying, "Look! It's so hungry that's it's drinking my blood. Must be its first feeding! Can we really not keep him?

I think Cedric won't mind!"
Erica rolled her eyes. Others might believe her words, but not her.
Looking at the way the snake greedily drank Chrissy's blood, Erica actually started feeling pity towards the poor thing. If there's something that could qualify as the most toxic substance in Prime Earth, it would undoubtedly be Chrissy's blood.
Just to put this into perspective, if Erica were to pour a liter of her blood on the nearby sea, all of the sea demons in Prime Earth will die by tomorrow, even if they were on the opposite side of the world. Just this amount of her blood alone could poison the entire sea, and if it wasn't cleansed properly, it will start seeping on land and erode its way to the core of this planet.
That's how infectious and poisonous her blood was. What's worse is that her special physique isn't making this easier to cleanse. Any and all poisons she handles were automatically given the power of a hex and curse. A cure is almost impossible to create for this; only prevention will protect others from it.
And, as expected, King Pride felt the weight of his mistake mere seconds after the snake began greedily drinking her blood.
He tried his best to exert his control over it, telling it to stop drinking her blood, but the snake looked intoxicated. It's as if it tasted an extremely addicting ambrosia and it couldn't get enough of it.
King Pride felt something wrong happening inside him. He instinctively and decisively cut off his snaketail in desperation. The snaketail doesn't seem to mind. It doesn't even look like it was pained by the separation. However, it did turn into dust particles in mere seconds after it was severed from the main body.
Whether that's because of Chrissy's poisonous blood or something else entirely isn't important by now.
What matters is that, just from this brief exchange alone, King Pride suffered immensely, and these two ladies didn't even look like they were trying.
