Chapter 526: The curse

Translated by: La0o9

Proofreader: Arya

Within the icy winds, the group had already distanced themselves from Su Xue Er and from the area of the lake of blood.

But they didn’t retreat right away.

The 7-8 demonized candidates all placed their hands on the masculine bald man’s own.

They gave him all the Soul Points they had collected.

The bald man smirked at the lake of blood.

At this point, he was no longer afraid of the Blood Giant.

Because the Soul Points of 8 people collected together was enough to fulfill [Kindling]’s requirements.

“Pretty girl, a soft flower like yourself is better off being trampled to death”

The bald man was speaking to Su Xue Er.

He appeared incredibly mesmerized, as if thinking about something.

“Astaroth, finish them” Su Xue Er said in disgust.

The Blood Giant began his attack.

Every step he took left a deep footprint on the frozen wasteland.

The bald man’s expression changed.

He raised both hands to the sky, quickly speaking: “[Kindling], I offer all my Soul Points to you in return for the Demon Lord’s protection!”

One second later, something appeared from the void of space.

The bald man stared straight at it and chanted: “Cecrops, climb up from the abyss of souls as the [Demon King Order] needs you!”

Boom!

A giant ashen hand broke through the ice.

Followed by a 25-meter-wide giant head.

The head turned to observe the situation around.

It was now that everyone noticed this head only had a single eye and a huge gaping bloody jaw.

『 For the Demon King Order 』

The head spoke with a low-pitched voice.

Large patches of the frozen wasteland broke apart from below.

And the giant body emerged.

It had a corpse-like ashen grey skin and gave off a thick stench of rotten flesh.

The one-eyed giant stood up, then reached down to grab a huge mace from below.

With the mace in hand, it silently waited for its orders.

This Demon Lord was quite similar to the one Gu Qing Shan met in the dark tunnel to Huang Quan.

But the one Gu Qing Shan met only had half of its body left, whereas this one had its whole body intact as well as a weapon.

“Kill that Blood Giant!”

The masculine bald man shouted in a frenzy.

『 Understood 』

The Demon Lord responded with a heavy voice.

Everyone else stared at the Demon Lord with an unmistakable look of fanaticism.

Such a dream-like ability.

This powerful monster actually listened to their orders

This felt almost like they had just taken over the world.

Later on, when they become powerful as well, they will be able to summon this type of monster at a moment’s notice, easily becoming an overlord in the 900 million World Layers.

The giant Demon Lord took their orders and rushed towards the lake of blood without saying anything else.

The monster of the blood lake Astaroth also dashed at the Demon Lord.

Soon enough, the two giants clashed.

They were roaring, tearing at each other.

Every hit shook the entire frozen wasteland.

This was exactly like a clash of titans in the ancient myths.

It didn’t seem like a winner could be decided between them any time soon.

“Let’s go catch that girly, she’s able to summon such a monster so she must have a lot of Soul Points!” the bald man shouted again.

Everyone also understood.

That’s right, Soul Points, we can always use Soul Points to exchange for more power from [Kindling].

They greedily stared at Su Xue Er.

One of them swallowed their spit and called out: “You keep the Soul Points, I only need the girl”

“Deal”

Even before they got close to her, they were already discussing how to divide Su Xue Er.

Which caused Su Xue Er to be furious.

Gritting her teeth, she held nothing back.

Her scepter started to release a bloody glow, then erupted into 13 flames.

The flames floated and slowly dimmed within the snow storm.

13 cards were neatly lined up in the air.

While looking at these cards, Su Xue Er hesitated a bit.

Due to using Soul Points repeatedly, the amount of time that the System could protect her was quickly decreasing.

At this point, she only had 15 minutes left.

If she activated this 13-card combination, it’s hard to tell how much time she would have left.

The demonized men quickly approached.

They were getting closer and closer to Su Xue Er.

“Ahahaha, the closer you look, the prettier this girl is, don’t any of you dare to steal her!”

Someone excitedly said.

“No way, you had better let us enjoy her first before taking her away!”

Another voice couldn’t help but shouted back.

This caused Su Xue Er to be unable to hold back her rage.

She immediately made a decision.

——–no matter the price, I will definitely not fall into the hands of these people!

“O’ flowing sea of blood, you who know of the one that wanders in the abyss of the Blood Sea”

Su Xue Er raised her voice, loudly chanting: “Blood Sea! Help me summon her and let her majesty come to this world!”

Ooong!

A clear wave of Soul Points rippled all around.

「 Ahehehe! Today… something fun seems to be happening 」

A whisper of laughter came out of nowhere.

At the same time, the 13 cards flipped over at the same time to form the portrait of a beauty.

The demonized people all stopped.

They were staring at the portrait without moving.

“Ah…”

“This is…”

“Beautiful… so beautiful…”

“What unimaginable beauty, simply…”

They were muttering to themselves.

The woman in the portrait was truly too beautiful.

Despite having her eyes closed, she exuded overwhelming allure.

The 8 demonized candidates couldn’t avert their eyes at all as their gazes slowly lost focus.

「 Little girl, it seems your situation isn’t too great 」

The beautiful woman in the portrait still kept her eyes closed as she softly spoke.

When she opened her mouth, there were already no signs of life around.

No one responded to her words either.

The 8 demonized candidates were still blankly standing there, staring at her without being able to say a word.

Only the sound of the Demon Lord and Blood Giant’s destructive battle could be heard from afar.

“That is indeed the case, thank you for coming, I will prepare the offering later” Su Xue Er respectfully said.

“Offering… there is no need this time, if you survive, telling me your story will be enough”

Saying that, the beautiful woman lightly fluttered the fan in her hand.

A light breeze started to blow.

Strands of her hair swayed gently in the wind, the thin long dress covered in gauze and fog were almost unable to hide the peerless jade-like body she possessed.

Even such simple movements are overwhelmingly charming.

“My story?” Su Xue Er was surprised.

“Indeed, this was simply too rare” the beautiful woman appeared regretful, “the dangers you are facing clearly belong to another, yet you yourself are bearing it for him”

“In the hundreds of millions of years I spent wandering the abyss of the Blood Sea, I have seen so many extraordinary things, but a girl such as yourself has not grazed my eyes for the last few ten thousand years”

“Remember, one brilliant such as you should not bear too much for others”

“I hope you survive”

As the closed-eyed beautiful woman said so, she disappeared from the portrait.

The 13 cards also lost their light as they returned inside her scepter.

Su Xue Er was stunned for a bit before she could react.

She glanced at the System UI.

There’s only 2 minutes 36 seconds left!

Oh no, I almost ran out of Soul Points.

She then looked to the 8 demonized candidates.

They suddenly opened their eyes again.

“What happened just now?”

“I think I blacked out”

“Wait a minute, no, why can’t I move!?”

“What? You as well? I can’t move my feet!”

“I can’t even lift a finger!”

The 8 villainous men all exclaimed from shock.

They had just found out something very terrifying——– they lost control over their bodies.
