Chapter 144 The Curse Of Liliana (2)

"Are you asking me that? So let me ask you a question too. In your opinion, why are you suddenly in this state?"

She gnashed her teeth and replied in an irritated tone. "That's what I'd like to know!"

"No, my dear queen, you know the reason more than anyone in this room. The reason is that you were trying to make me your fucking slave! I don't know what happened afterward but, after giving you my blood out of pure kindness you tried to pay me with this vicious action? Do you realize your cruelty?" He pronounced these words with a Machiavellian smile while keeping his eyes placid.

-BAMMM!!

Liliana's fist landed on the table and broke it into pieces by flying the food in all directions. His eyes turned bloodthirsty red when he heard Alvine's mocking voice. If she had the assurance that Alvine's death would not lead to her own, she would not hesitate to kill him at that precise moment.

On Alvine's side, he didn't care a lot about the dishes, all that interested him were the three bottles of wine that he had perfectly managed to catch in their crash.

Liliana was even more upset when she saw his actions. "You made me drink your blood because you knew I wasn't going to hesitate to want to have you for me! How many vampires do you bait with your blood?! But I can tell you one thing, I'd rather die than become your little dog!" She thundered her words with an angry but powerless air. She knew that the situation could not be worse than that for her. Two strangers out of nowhere had just tried to submit her! The worst thing is that she didn't even know their intentions.

"Tsk, why do I always attract embarrassing problems?!" He replied in an irritated tone when he saw Liliana lose common sense under the effects of her unconditional anger. He wanted to negotiate with her by extracting all the good things she had on her before releasing her, but seeing her pitiful and problematic, Alvine finally abandoned the idea. 'Killing her too will cause more problems than now. Tsk, she is a problematic girl who has nothing to bring me.' He finally concludes by making his decision.

"I'm not going to justify myself for something I have nothing for! But know one thing, during your meeting with the leaders, if I had not intervened, you will no longer be in this world to sting your anger attack. About the current situation, I will not pity you because it is your greed and arrogance that have led to where you are now. And finally, you don't have the merit of being part of my entourage, even a stray dog will be a hundred times better appreciated than you with your unnecessary arrogance." Alvine replied these words in an imperturbable tone and then continued:

"Simply tell me how to break this damn bond and I would get rid of you once and for all!"

"Well see, as if I knew how?" Liliana spoke in a ridiculous tone with a melancholy smile while shaking her head.

Alvine didn't waste time, he asked Sylvia with his eyes. But unfortunately for him, she also shook her head. "I haven't heard anything concerning this kind of obstruction. Normally, this kind of thing never happens! But you always manage to show me all the colors with your abnormalities, master." She says with relentless nonchalance. She had nothing to do with this girl's problems, all that matters to her is her master.

But seeing the discontent in Alvine's eyes, she deepens her explanations. "What I mean is no matter how I look at the situation, I don't see anything that can solve this problem. As you told me after I explained to you, the problem this girl was going to cause you after you voluntarily donated your blood is probably the effects of your skill that is the cause of all these problems."

Hearing their discussions and seeing Alvine's bitter expression, Liliana began to wonder if Alvine was not also a victim of her stupidity. "What kind of skill is it? Maybe if I knew its effects, I could find a solution to get rid of this gene." She asked with a glimmer of hope.

Sylvia replied in a tone of dissatisfaction when she shamelessly heard her question. "Do you really have the nerve to ask such questions despite your crimes? Do you want to know the skills of others? And what again? Maybe you also want to know how to kill him, as long as we talk about it?!"

Asking for these kinds of information was no different from wanting to know someone's weakness. She understood Sylvia's anger, hence her silence after hearing Sylvia's sarcastic questions.

Alvine didn't want to worry about that. His goal was to get rid of this ridiculous magic that began to give him more headaches than he had expected: "Don't worry about that, Sylvia, it's just a passive skill. So if it can help me get rid of her, she only has to pay by revealing me information that is worth it. Don't you agree with that? It's win-win, a rather fair market."

"It's not expensive paid... I agree with that. Now tell me the effects of the skill in question." She replied at the same time, lest Alvine change her mind.

"Sigh, let's first summarize the effects of your ritual. From what I learned from Sylvia about your dark intentions toward me. First, I could not disobey you, secondly, I would feel your thirst for blood with tenfold effects as if it were myself who was dependent on blood. Except that instead of drinking it, I will not be calm until I satisfy your thirst with my blood. And finally, my life will be linked to yours, which means that I would die the second you die! Is that all or is there any other factor?"? He asked with a frown. Just by citing the problems that this girl was going to cause him without his skill, Alvine had a bitter taste in his mouth.

*I swear that I would have killed her if she wasn't useful for us to find Garyth in her den.* Alvine tell these words without even realizing that he had just shared them with Sylvia by telepathy.

*Master, I insist. She does not deserve to be delivered to a return of the curse that she herself had caused. I don't see what's complicated about her case. Simply leave her as she is and make her pay for everything she intended to do to you. After all, she will not die for that and she will become a good semi that will become a branch of your strength in the future. Have a slave of intermediate divine rank, what's more, a vampire with noble blood! The benefits will be really huge; it would be stupid to get rid of her, wouldn't it? * Sylvia murmured these words through their connection like a demon that pushed Alvine to go astray.

*Sigh, I'm not stupid not to see these advantages. But you seem to have forgotten a small problem. She says she can no longer feed herself with the blood of others; in other words, I should be her source of food for eternity! I have chills just thinking about this endless loop! Therefore, I must absolutely break this damn bond with her. No matter the means. And if I can't do it, I'll leave her behind where I would kill her after confirming that her death will not have a negative effect on me when we go to this planet! *

"Normally, I would have no problem-consuming someone else's blood even if my blessing affected you. Therefore, I must absolutely know the skill that allowed you to cancel it and let turn my blessing into curses." She said in a naive tone calling it a blessing.

"You are a too naive little girl by daring to call a blessing. But then why when your famous blessing has now turned against you, do you call it a «curse»?" It was Sylvia's sarcastic voice that resounded next to Alvine.

"..." -Liliana.

"Very well, the jurisdiction in question does not have complicated effects. Everything you need to know is what it allows me to return spells and curses similar to what you tried to do toward their casters. Can u understand now when I said, I have nothing to do with it? Everything that happens to you right now is only because you tried to enslave me. You are your own enemy" Alvine briefly explained the effects of her jurisdiction without going into too much detail.

Her eyes widened in shock. "Are you making me a joke, aren't you? I-I mean... it's impossible that such a skill can exist. No, it's absolutely impossible!" Gradually, his eyes lost their glow of vivacity. Her conscience only held to a thread before she sank into despair. But hearing Alvine's words, she now knew why she couldn't decide to attack her. Her instinct made her soul shiver every time she tried to attack this stranger. This is because, from the beginning, her life has been linked to that of Alvine! "Now everything is clear. How could it have happened?" She sat on her chair with an empty and lifeless look.

Alvine shook his head and breathed bitterness before turning to the door and leaving directly leaving Sylvia behind. 'No need to ask for further action. Just by seeing this look, I know that the situation could not be worse than now.' He said to himself with an impassive look and closed the door behind him.

He himself did not yet know, but the event he considers a curse is not quite the case.

*Sylvia, stay with her while she regains her spirits. Don't oblige her, let her make a decision. * He arrested Sylvia who was about to follow him.

*Out of questions! Leaving you alone is no different from causing another problem! I'm not enthusiastic enough to make the same mistake again. * She thundered by urgently opening the door. But unfortunately, Alvine was no longer there; and the worst she could no longer feel her energy even by spreading her spiritual power hundreds of kilometers away!

"No! Not yet?! He returned to this dimension without bringing me with him?! Tsk, this man is really a problem!" She gnashed her teeth realizing that she could do nothing but take care of Liliana waiting for the return of her master. Since she could not enter in dark dimension without Alvine's assistance. Her anxiety turned into fury when her eyes landed on Liliana who always had an empty look.

"I warn you, if something unhappy happens because of you, I swear you will pay for it with your life." She retorted in a furious tone.

...

Contrary to her concerns, Alvine had not taken Liliana's problem too seriously. He was not affected by her at all as soon as he set foot in the dark palace. Specifically on the first floor where hundreds of souls screamed in agony during their purification. He walked nonchalantly among them and looked at them and appreciated both their dying cries as a sweet heavenly melody when thinking of the benefits that his shadow soldiers would have after the purification of all his souls.

After a long walk of three minutes, he stopped in front of a completely purified soul that was a flamboyant red color and gave off unbearable heat for any mage below emperor rank.

Seeing the soul without consciousness twisting slightly like a snake without a head, a sublime smile stood on his lips. "Oh~ my adorable Gtyura, it must not have been easy for you to die twice, didn't it? I would have liked to come back to listen to your cries but unfortunately, it's too late. In short, I would like to offer this pure soul to Darka but, his specialty is the sword while Gtyura was a spear-man. I don't think it's a good idea to let him absorb this soul. I have to find a shadow soldier who fights with the spear." He says he looks thoughtfully while supporting his chin with his thumb.

But just at that very moment, a familiar voice resounded behind him. "Why aren't you going to absorb it yourself?! After all, by absorbing him, you will not only acquire his strongest skills, but he will become better like what happened with Darka when he absorbed the skill of the third Elder we killed!"

Alvine didn't need to turn around to guess who it was. He was the person he wanted to avoid more than anyone, his famous fragment!

"What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be in the throne room?" Alvin asked while turning around just to end up in front of a removable mirror that could think of moving and deciding on its own. In short, his lookalike and his mysterious fragment.

"Kuku~ you're really hard on yourself. The truth is that I was bored staying there and waiting in solitude. Say, wouldn't you like to let me get some fresh air while you're here? Kuku! I swear I would only take care of magical beasts. It will give you even more soul to purify for our soldiers, right? I go out for a walk during the time you take to take care of these wandering souls, and during that time, I would collect more souls! I'm even ready to offer you the head of your target and end your war in just two days!" He said with a Machiavellian smile as he approached Alvine.

"Do you mean you're going to kill Garyth, the leader who masters elementary affinities? The owner of this planet? The person we are in charge of tracking to let Sabrina take care of her case?" Alvine asked raising his eyebrows when he heard the enticing proposal of this entity. 'He just wants me to let him walk for two days by taking control of my body while he kills a Leader? On top of that, he won't touch others, neither Sylvia nor vampires, elves, and Kelspies? It's a tempting offer indeed.' He says to himself in his thoughts.
