[Sponsored] Chapter 117: Death of Lilith
[This Chapter Is Sponsored by Shin! Everyone, please thank him in the comment!]
Of course, this was just a fleeting thought. At the moment, Bi Xiao had eyes only for Lilith.
Lilith's body re-solidified from a phantom state.
She no longer had the bone-deep allure she once possessed. Now, she was the ruler of the night, a powerful demon lord, and every move she made exuded terror.
"I've been doing my best to avoid your pursuit, but I didn't expect you to still find me. I underestimated you, human."
"Foolish creature."
After Bi Xiao softly uttered these words, he stopped wasting time talking to a prey. On Hela's turf, Hela seemed intent on staying neutral and watching the show. What she really thought, he did not yet understand.
The smartest move now was to kill Lilith as much as possible.
Thus, without hesitation, Bi Xiao immediately opened a dimensional space. Torrents of compressed magic power poured into his body, instantly releasing an aura far exceeding his previous level.
Boom!
The terrifying aura broke through the ancient castle, spreading throughout the Heim Underworld. Amid Lilith and Hela's drastic changes in expression, the underworld quaked under the overwhelming power Bi Xiao displayed.
A great wind arose, and mist howled and rolled.
The ground trembled, and sharp cries came from the mist as the souls of the dead felt danger and fear.
Now, Bi Xiao's level and combat power had multiplied dozens of times. The exaggerated increase made Bi Xiao feel the world before him change; everything slowed down. This essential change also made the previously powerful Lilith seem weak and small.
Layer upon layer, Lilith's dream ability had no effect, only met with Bi Xiao's mocking, playful eyes.
"Your true lover, Asmodeus, is waiting for you, Lilith."
Bi Xiao, holding Lilith's neck with his left hand and a sword in his right, ignored her pleading, pitiful gaze. In her desperate eyes, he stabbed Lilith's heart with a sword, pinning her to the ground.
The moment the Sword of Promised Victory pierced Lilith's heart, the overwhelming magic power within the sword changed nature, like a spark igniting a barrel of oil, and began to burn.
The holy and bright magic power burned, transforming into holy fire. The scorching golden flames spread, covering the depression tens of thousands of meters wide, turning it into a sea of fire. In the gloomy realm of death, this scene was quite spectacular.
Under the burning Sword of Promised Victory, Lilith's demonic body and soul also ignited. Her piercing screams of pain echoed throughout Heim Underworld. She waved her hands, trying to struggle.
Even disregarding the searing pain, she tried to grasp the burning Sword of Victory to pull it out.
But the moment she touched the sword, the scorching flames charred her hands, turning them to ashes.
"I curse you, human. You killed the night, you killed lust. You will never have love. You will become a harbinger of disaster, you..."
Knowing she was doomed, Lilith stopped struggling. Her body was almost charred, and her once stunningly beautiful face was now a bloody, hideous mess. Her venomous eyes stared at the human who killed her, her voice hoarse and ethereal.
She wanted to curse this human who killed her, to make him remember her forever, to make him regret and sink into pain.
But before the curse was complete, Bi Xiao, standing in the holy flames, mercilessly stepped on Lilith's mouth, silencing her completely.
With disdain, he looked into Lilith's eyes and softly said, "I killed a bastard who never understood mercy. You all are just fodder. I am the executioner. My sword will cut off your heads one by one, becoming your nightmare."
"In your last memory, remember my face, remember my eyes, and then die. This is the only mercy I can grant you.”
