Volume 1 Chapter 560
by post_apiChapter 560: Tear Apart the Angel
Just as Kululu expected, although Lolth had become very "unusual," this time her self-control was much stronger than when she was young.
At least, Lolth didn’t set all of Hillenbrand Town on fire like she did before.
That makes sense.
After all, Hillenbrand Town had been built with great effort by Lolth.
The sparks from the flames fell to the ground, quietly burning, but not destroying anything.
Just like before with Dorothy.
Yet Lolth, who was thrown from the river, still looked a bit confused.
Of course, this confusion was not easy for everyone to notice.
When your presence is strong enough to keep people away, even if you looked a bit confused, others would think…
She was mostly thinking or examining something.
At that moment, Isabella and Tina were just like that.
In Kululu’s words, the term "master" naturally revealed Lolth’s identity.
Generally, if everyone were to summarize Lolth’s image, it would be easy to identify a few recognizable traits.
A lifeless face, black hair, casual loose clothing, a flat figure…
But now, the girl appearing in mid-air…
Wore a red dress, her figure was curvy and graceful, and her face was full of a divine authority.
Aside from the matching hair color, no one could connect her to Lolth—though her features hadn’t changed, the difference in her aura and other characteristics was too significant.
Whether in temperament or appearance, they were worlds apart.
Qiong, Janine Irene, and the Lady of Light clearly did not realize this.
Even after hearing Kululu’s words, their instinctive reaction was…
"Who is this? So scary!"
Only Isabella and Tina, without any hesitation, showed a look of surprise.
"It’s Master Lolth!"
"Lolthlinda – you’re back!"
The voices of the two reached the ears of the Lady of Light, making them all show expressions of "Are you talking about Lolth?"
Qiong rubbed her eyes hard, and Janine Irene looked incredulous.
Even the Lady of Light couldn’t help but be silent.
"Is this… a senior?"
She took a deep breath and then became determined.
"As expected from a senior, your style is really diverse!"
The confused Lolth heard Isabella and Tina calling her and turned her gaze towards them.
She still could not know who the two people below her, looking at her with joyful expressions, were—memories about "Lolth" seemed to have been completely sealed away.
However, the warm feelings bubbling up from her heart, stemming from those memories she could not recall now, could not be suppressed.
Although Lolth did not know their identities, these emotions could not make her show any reaction now…
Yet these emotions could still influence Lolth’s actions and decisions.
"I understand now…"
She whispered softly, her gaze sweeping over Isabella and Tina.
"I will protect you."
Lolth announced this, as flames rose from the girls’ feet.
Then, like a shield, it drew on their magic, surrounding the two girls and burning brightly, as if it could block any attack in the world.
At that moment, Isabella and Tina finally realized something was different about Lolth.
But looking at the warm flames around her, the two girls quickly made a decision.
No matter what kind of Lolth was about to act… they would support each other.
So, the two girls quietly accepted everything.
Then, Lolth noticed in mid-air.
Above the ground, this area should be considered her "territory" and "property."
It had a familiar yet unpleasant smell.
She looked at the jumping turtle and her tattered black ship, the Holy Light Judgment Angel chasing the turtle, and the Eternal Scepter pulsing with energy on its own, frowning.
"What an offense."
Lolth said this and then waved her hands again.
In the next moment, she appeared in front of the Judgment Angel and the turtle girl.
"No chasing is allowed here."
With those words, both the Judgment Angel and the turtle seemed to be weighed down by a heavy burden, unable to move from their spot.
They even retained their original chasing poses.
The Judgment Angel struggled to flap its wings, while the turtle stood still, trying hard to stretch its legs.
But neither of them moved; they remained completely still.
The Judgment Angel, with no clear face and taking shape with Holy Light, could not be seen clearly, but the turtle turned and saw that between the two was a figure almost identical to Lolth, and combined with Kululu’s voice, it instantly guessed who the person was.
At the same time, the turtle also felt…
The Lolth in front of them was far too high in status.
She was several times more powerful than the usual version of Lolth.
She showed an expression of smugness, feeling victorious and empowered.
"Ah ha—what about the angel? Do you think you have a strong backer while I don’t? Your backer is the God of Light who does nothing, but my boss is the one who gets things done!"
The turtle stopped its running in place, placed its hands on its hips, and showed a proud expression.
"Let me tell you, this is my big brother, Lolthlinda! She is the second-in-command of the Demon Army and the future leader of the Abyssal Succubus. Even if your family master comes, she will respect him—understand?"
"I told you to chase, chase, chase! My big brother is here, now you’re in big trouble! Just wait to die!"
But before Turtle could be too arrogant, he suddenly heard a loud "smack."
Soon, a sharp pain shot across his face.
"Be quiet."
Lolth said coldly.
Turtle listened to Lolth’s words, showing a very wronged expression, pouting his lips.
He looked at Lolth, wanting to say something, but in the end, he lowered his head.
"Okay, it really is a bit different. I even forgot… Oh dear…"
But she still glared fiercely at the Judgment Angel across from her.
"Next, there will be no tasty juice for you!"
Turtle whispered a threat.
The angelic figure, made of the high will of the Land of Light and Holy Light, finally shifted its attention from Turtle to Lolth.
It looked steadily at Lolth, and then…
The light became even more vibrant.
The radiant wings behind it shone brighter again, and as they spread out, the entire angelic figure began to grow, becoming as tall as most of the torture tower.
And its dazzling light was just too intense…
So much so that, even on Vera Plain, beyond Hillenbrand Town, at the edge of the other demon race territories, the Holy Light emitted by this angel could be seen clearly.
At the same time, a long sword appeared in His hand.
The sword had a handle made of Holy Light and a blade that was pure white, shining brightly.
The power of Holy Light on the blade was strong and heavy, each bit carrying the essence of the God of Light’s "stern mercy."
He raised the long sword in front of Lolth.
This was the Power of Judgment, representing part of the will of the Land of Light, and it was also a judgment that represented the will of the mainland plane.
After all, the God of Light is the strongest deity in the main plane, and the will within His Divine Kingdom is naturally influenced by the Plane Will of the mainland.
The sword made of light descended, striking towards the top of Lolth’s head.
Because Lolth’s personality had changed greatly after drinking, she took a stance of "serious readiness" for the first time, showing a "somewhat tricky" expression.
She felt the opponent’s powerful rank, sensing the long sword, filled with the will of the Divine Kingdom, descending upon her head, capable of being used in battles between gods…
There were countless ways for Lolth to protect herself, dodge this sword, and try many different things…
She chose to face this sword.
If it were the usual Lolth, she definitely would not do this—she might not even be willing to add any defense for herself, but instead would choose to run as far away as she could.
But this Lolth was different.
She cared more about…
Her pride.
For Lolth, this level of attack was not enough to make her take it seriously.
Defending and dodging?
Those are actions of the weak.
Interrupting Maria’s attack was not her true intention.
It was simply because Maria Diana’s own actions were too slow, so even though she acted first, it seemed like Lolth only needed a moment to cast her spell to interrupt Maria Diana’s technique, as if it was a coincidence…
But in reality, it was something Maria Diana could not resist and was destined to happen.
Lolth’s fighting instinct and her calm yet extremely proud nature determined that she would choose a plan to directly defeat her opponent after evaluating them.
Yes… for Lolth, it was not even a coincidence; it didn’t even count as a round.
And it just so happens that…
Lolth’s current status and strength fully qualified her to do so!
Maria Diana couldn’t even be considered an interesting opponent for her.
It was only out of dislike for her opponent that Lolth would make her "kneel" and use her flames to make her feel pain.
It makes sense that a normal opponent wouldn’t create such a one-sided situation.
But now the Judgment Angel seemed to be a worthy "opponent," having reached a certain standard.
After all, it is a being empowered by the will of the Land of Light.
However, this move was not enough to make Lolth take it seriously!
"Oom—"
The sword blade sliced through the air, making a sound like it was judging everything in the world.
Holy Light spread out, its delicate threads like shackles, ready to bind those carrying sins.
Yet, this long sword made of Holy Light…
Could not move forward a single inch when it was about to strike Lolth.
It hovered right in front of Lolth’s face, the sword trembling…
As if something invisible was blocking it.
And the source of this blocking force…
Was the Judgment Angel itself!
It felt that within its own will, there seemed to be another power preventing it from harming the girl in front of it.
Although it was an extremely simple will, it was strong enough to resist the command to strike down that its "judgment" instinct created!
Like putting a patch on the factory settings.
"You cannot harm the other person!"
It was as if someone in a group was stopping the Judgment Angel.
However, Lolth looked at the sword blade that was five centimeters from her nose, and she did not feel happy at all.
For Lolth right now…
This was a natural thing.
No, Lolth even felt unhappy.
She looked at the sword tip aimed at her and then glanced at the Judgment Angel, squinting her eyes.
"Just pointing a sword at me is already crossing the line."
"Really… getting too bold."
Lolth whispered this softly, and then she reached out her hand toward the Judgment Angel.
The powerful force within her body boiled with energy.
Pure magic and several combined divine powers.
Also, including the new power from Kululu, which came from the Demon God…
Murphy Yates’ "Power of Judgment."
Although Lolth really disliked the smell of hell, in this state, she would probably want to give it a good beating…
But if it were her own words…
Then it wouldn’t be a big problem.
The boiling Power of Judgment, even when compressed by the main Plane Will, was still equal to the Power of Judgment boosted by the main plane!
In terms of power, Lolth and the Judgment Angel were almost equal.
Of course, this did not mean that Murphy Yates was necessarily above the God of Light, nor did it involve the various subtleties between half-plane Divine Kingdom and alternate plane…
It mainly depended on the person.
In fact, as long as Lolth didn’t have any thoughts of wanting to engage with the Judgment Angel opposite her, their almost clumsy tactics would have been defeated by Lolth right from the start.
Status does not determine everything, but it is very important in battle.
Right now, Lolth was not using her powerful magical reserves or creating various strange magical tools…
However, there was no gap in status anymore.
Even for the side that had the advantage.
This was Kululu’s judgment.
The turtle behind her felt the growing "pressure" from Lolth and quietly took a step back, returning to its own boat, feeling a little more at ease.
"Now the gods are fighting… No, it should be a one-sided beating…"
As she said this, Lolth also began to move!
Countless pure magical energies rushed towards the Judgment Angel!
The magic formed a powerful wave, almost breaking apart the shape of the Holy Light!
Then… a mix of divine power interrupted its reformation and recovery.
The grand, bright figure of light seemed to become much weaker.
At that moment, Lolth, with the Power of Judgment in her hands, had reached behind it.
"Now, it is time for the judgment…"
"You will pay for your pride, usurpation, and blasphemy."
As she said this, she reached out and grabbed the wings of the Judgment Angel from behind.
After that…
The once dim wings of light were torn off by Lolth!
