Book 4: Chapter 120: Choice

“It wasn’t me! I did nothing like that! Don’t simply accuse me!”

Lilith frantically denied it. Although it looked like she was trying to hide her wrongdoing, it was true that this really had nothing to do with her. In fact, she even wanted to sniff that b̲a̲s̲t̲a̲r̲d̲ out and beat her to a pulp for pulling something like this at this kind of time!

Of all the things she could do, why did she have to seal off the entrance to this world?! Did she want to trap hundreds of people in here?

“Not you?” Cornelia laughed angrily. “Are you trying to say that I’ve lost my mind and did that myself so that you guys can destroy this world along with the things that are dearest to me?”

“That might be a possibility...”

Lilith stroked her chin thoughtfully. “I heard that some super masochists can derive pleasure from even the pain of death.”

“Like I said... I’m not a *********!”

Cornelia pointed at Lilith. A dent of half a meter deep instantly appeared on the wall behind her. Lilith turned her head around in shock. The dent left her gulping audibly while secretly wiping the sweat from her forehead.

Although Cornelia didn’t use too much of the power that didn’t belong to the mortal realm, Lilith was sure that there was still a significant amount. If that wasn’t the case, she would’ve been able to at least react in time.

But then again, the power that the ancestor left for her was long gone, so...

There was no way she could win!Fôll0w current novÊls on n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(co/m)

“W-WAIT! Calm down! Don’t you want to protect this world?! If you use the power beyond saint-realm, this world will be destroyed! Didn’t you say that yourself?”

“It’s okay to use a little bit.”

Cornelia pointed at Lilith again. “I won’t miss this time.”

“W-WAIT! Don’t forget, my ancestor definitely won’t just sit back and watch you kill me! If you keep up with this, you’ll meet the same end!”

Lilith huddled into a corner and immediately said something she thought would have the most convincing power. “Didn’t you say you have things to protect? If you keep manifesting this power that far exceeds this world’s capacity, you’ll end up destroying those dearest to you with your own hands!”

Cornelia hesitated for a moment before shooting a glare at Lilith. “If it wasn’t for you guys barging into this world, the destruction of this world wouldn’t be accelerated! With the entrance completely sealed, this world is doomed. So I might as well take a gamble.

“Besides, that phantom you summoned was nowhere as powerful as its own real form. I don’t think it can even beat me when I’m in my best condition.”

A sinister smile crept onto Cornelia’s lips again as the look in her eyes turned even crazier than before. She looked no different than a desperate criminal.

“Let’s see if this world will be destroyed first, or I will kill you all before it gets destroyed!”

Lilith felt a squeeze in her heart as she stared at Cornelia’s finger that slowly pointed to her. The next attack would definitely be a deadly one! She could only grit her teeth and brace herself. Even if her ancestor wasn’t reliable, she wasn’t an easy target!

“.....”

Lilith’s lips twitched. She looked like she wanted to say something but later gave up on the thought.

Little Hand continued babbling about her achievements to Cornelia.

“Hear me out, Lady Cornelia! This woman was wandering along the corridor that leads to the floor below us! I didn’t know what she was trying to do, but I pounced on her and seized her!”

“Impressive, Little Hand! At least you’re a lot more useful than some two useless trash I know.”

After saying that, Cornelia threw a glance at Shiloah, who was leaning against the wall in one corner while clutching his hollow abdomen. Her eyes then softened a little, “Well, maybe they’re not completely useless.”

At Little Hand’s return, Shiloah suddenly found strength to twist his body around and revealed Gaz who was on his butt.

“Wow, my lovely Little Hand! You’re finally back! Come, give me a hug...!”

“I refuse...”

“GA! WHY?!”

“You’re too disgusting. How can you stick your face on someone else’s butt? I don’t know any disgusting bootlicker like you!”

“GAGA! Wait! Little Hand, it’s not what you think! I...” Gaz sobbed.

Shiloah silently turned over, pushing Gaz to the back.

“Ohoho, you’ve been a great help, Little Hand.”

“Really?”

“Yeah. If it wasn’t for your timely arrival, Lady Cornelia might have to resort to that horrible skill again! But now...”

Cornelia looked at Lilith again. She lowered her hand, then turned to Lesiah. The power that gathered on her fingertip gradually faded and the distortion in the surroundings gradually vanished.

Even so, her slender finger was still capable of blowing an ordinary person’s head into smithereens.

“Choose now.”

“Choose what?”

“Your life or hers...?”
