“Disable?”
Blood Rain narrowed her scarlet eyes like blood jade and asked, “She’s already completed her class change. Even if I kill her a hundred times, she’d at most drop to level 21. How can I disable her?”
General Taima said coldly, “Who said you can only disable her by lowering her level?”
Blood Rain raised an eyebrow. “What do you mean?”
“I once tried to throw her into an abyss full of demons, but something went wrong in the process.” General Taima said in a deep voice. “This time, a devil from Hell showed me something new.”
“Serves you right for failing. Even if she’s a twenty-something-level Otherworldly Traveler, you should have had the resolve to use full force against a rabbit.” The deep-red-skinned devil beside them sneered. “You actually used a low-intelligence monster like the ‘Abyssal Worm.’”
As he spoke, the devil pulled out a bandage-wrapped dagger from his person and carefully handed it to Blood Rain.
“Take it. Don’t accidentally stab yourself.”
[Item Name: Sting of the Goddess of Destruction (Cursed)]
[Quality: Mythic]
[Attack: Extremely High]
[Equip Condition: A Hint of Hatred]
[Stat Bonuses: None]
[Description: After the Goddess of Destruction fell in the Divine War, her fingernails were stolen by a cunning devil who spent over a century honing them into a pitch-black dagger. It still retains the goddess’s divine power. When stabbed into a target, the residual divine power quickly transforms into a curse, like a maggot clinging to the bone, constantly ravaging the target’s body and mind, causing endless torment. Even after rebirth, the curse will follow like a shadow, inescapable.]
[Note: Single-use item. Destroyed after use.]
“Sting of the Goddess of Destruction…” Blood Rain stared intently at the dagger in her hand.
“No one can endure the Goddess of Destruction’s curse. It feels like countless sharp-fanged insects gnawing on your skin, inside your stomach, in your mind. Even resurrection is useless.”
The devil chuckled softly. “There’s only one way—leave this world and never return.”
“To escape this curse, an Otherworldly Traveler must leave the Fate World forever, which is no different from death.”
“It’s all within my grasp.” General Taima looked at Blood Rain, spreading the tiger claws on her hand as if everything was already settled. “After it’s done, I’ll give you everything you want. Equipment, skills, items… every resource you can imagine is in the Rose Kingdom’s treasury. With my help, your Blood Age will surely become the number one guild in the world.”
“I hope so.”
Blood Rain replied expressionlessly, then opened the guild ranking.
[1st: ‘Under the Monarch’s Skirt’]
[2nd: ‘Toast and Sing Guild’]
[3rd: ‘Blood Age’]
[4th: ‘Tread Heaven’]
[5th: ‘Jianghu’]
[6th: ‘Dagger and Staff’]
[7th: ‘Storm’]
[8th: ‘Hunting Big Sister’]
[9th: ‘Catgirl Fan Club’]
[10th: ‘Explorers’]
It could be seen that Blood Age was only in third place, trampled underfoot by both the Sword Orchid Empire’s Under the Monarch’s Skirt and the Iris Theocracy’s Toast and Sing Guild.
As the guild leader, Blood Rain naturally wanted her guild to reach first place, which was why she had sought cooperation with the Third Princess, Wei Ji. After Wei Ji lost power, General Taima proactively extended an olive branch to her and promised to fully support Blood Age’s development. This was also why Blood Rain allowed General Taima to drive her to help eliminate the Priest Hero.
Of course, Blood Rain herself understood that General Taima was no pushover. From her eyes, Blood Rain could see an extreme desire for killing. But she still accepted the cooperation. Skinning a tiger’s hide is an extremely dangerous act, but the benefits to be gained from it were unimaginably rich.
“Get ready.”
The magic horn broadcast came from outside. “The match will begin in two minutes. Both players, please prepare.”
The devil smiled and vanished in a burst of flame. “Then, I will await Miss Blood Rain’s good news.”
Blood Rain exhaled a turbid breath, put on the Deep Red Armguard, and walked toward the player tunnel.
“You’re a priest—where do you get the strength to wear such heavy armor?”
On the other side, Xue Long blocked the player tunnel, staring at the mechanical armor in front of her with confusion.
“This is the power of technology. A martial artist like you wouldn’t understand.” Bai Yue Ling’s slightly disdainful voice came from inside the armor.
“Technology? Those junk machines built by mechanics—none of them can withstand a single thrust of my spear.”
Xue Long thrust her silver-white spear into the ground, carefully sensing the magical fluctuations inside the armor, then nodded. “Mm… it really is the aura of one person. You may pass.”
“Thanks. I’ll treat you to a family bucket another day.”
“What family bucket?”
“It’s the Rose Royal Family’s exclusive family bucket bond… forget it, you wouldn’t understand anyway.”
The mechanical armor walked past Xue Long, and a slight scent of fragrant sweat caused Xue Long’s pretty face to blush inexplicably.
“I still feel Little White is a bit strange, but what comes out is indeed the aura of one person.” Xue Long muttered, watching Bai Yue Ling’s back.
What she didn’t know was that to deceive her, the devil Aracira had spent a lot of effort on Bai Yue Ling.
[Skill Name: Hell Disguise Technique]
[Quality: Excellent]
[Cost: 500 MP]
[Stat Bonuses: None]
[Learning Condition: Spent one year in Hell]
[Description: An essential skill for devils from Hell. It can disguise information such as race, class, and beliefs. Devils often use this skill to mingle in the cities of the Light Faction, seeking potential trading partners.]
[Note: Originally a must-have skill for every devil, but since the defeat in the Divine War, devils’ confidence was heavily damaged, and they collectively became a NEET race holed up in Hell, unwilling to go out. Since they didn’t need to go out anymore, the Hell Disguise Technique naturally became useless. Now only a few devils who go out on business still master it.]
“Silver Tooth, just go all out and fight freely. I’ll be responsible for taunting her.” Bai Yue Ling curled up in Silver Tooth’s arms, her fair skin gently rubbing with each step.
“Okay.” Silver Tooth nodded, gazing at the sunlight outside the tunnel.
Outside the tunnel, tsunami-like cheers could already be heard. Besides the cheers, there was also the voice of the match host.
“This voice… is it Xila’s voice? How did she become the host!” Bai Yue Ling was astonished. “This, this, this… isn’t that Shi Qianla!”
A female elf in a black stocking pencil skirt stood on the arena’s viewing platform. Her voluptuous breasts stretched the secretary uniform into a round curve, and her long legs in black stockings were astonishingly full.
Shi Qianla held a microphone and shouted passionately to the audience, “Bloodthirsty Otherworldly Travelers, do you want to know who is the strongest Otherworldly Traveler in the Rose Kingdom?!”
“Ooh—!!!”
“Of course it’s the big sister! Big sister is the strongest!”
“Miss Blood Rain, go for it!”
“Big sister will definitely crush the little brat!”
Among the audience watching today’s match, many were from Blood Age, so the cheers for Blood Rain were unusually loud.
“No one supports Little White?”
Shi Qianla lowered her head and chuckled softly, then immediately switched to a professional smile and pointed to the side tunnel. “Then next, let us welcome—”
