Forced to Sell Myself to the Female Lead After Killing the Male Lead

Chapter 28:

At this moment, Marta, one of the elite members of the Sunlight Squad, finally realized what true despair was.

The deep darkness was like the evilest virus, quickly breeding in a person's heart, completely enveloping it in darkness, plunging it into an endless abyss, and completely blocking out the light...

She followed the Pix, One of the 10 Apostles, with the desire to gain fame and fortune upon completing this exploration mission.

After receiving the church's reward, she had planned to retire and live out her days peacefully.

However, no one expected that this journey would be their squad's last adventure.

The seemingly ordinary villager girl they had met outside Winter Forest was the harbinger of their despair.

The harmless-looking villager girl, devoid of any magical aura or power, astonishingly managed to control the Abyssal Demons! And landed a heavy blow to their squad!

Witnessing this scene, Marta was extremely shocked, but she hadn't reached despair just yet, as there was still an "Apostle of Earth" in their team—their captain, the hero Pix!

On Ancita Continent, power levels were classified into eight levels. The first six were relatively easy to achieve. Beyond that were the more challenging seventh level [Saint Rank] and the eighth level [Divine Rank] (8th level ==> Demon King).

And each of these levels has 4 stages, [Low]==> [Mid]==>[High]==>[Peak].

Upon reaching these two last Levels, one's physical strength and aura would undergo earth-shaking changes.

Three Level 5 might be able to challenge someone at Level 6, but even ten Level 6 might struggle to defeat a single Saint rank.

And their captain Pix was a seventh-level Sword Saint!!

With the unleashing of his power and holy aura, his pure holy power instantly suppressed the nauseating black energy of the Demons.

Marta couldn't help but cheer in her heart.

Despite losing two team members, with their captain stepping up, they would undoubtedly be able to handle those two Abyssal Demons! Their captain could assuredly defuse the crisis, just as he had done numerous times in the past!

Marta had such faith in him.

However, just as the hero was about to retaliate with his released holy power, a snow-white wolf-shaped Demon burst forth from the forest, shattering the hope in her heart, and before she could alert the hero, he was killed...

Everything unfolded too swiftly for Marta to react.

The hero's defensive aura, his robust armor, and his sturdy body, all could not withstand the wolf's bite.

In a flash, one of the ten great Apostle of Asumos Church, and the strongest person Marta had ever trusted, was gone...

'Huh??'

'No! This is not, right?! There's still hope!!'

Just as despair consumed Marta, she spotted a glimmer of hope.

her black eyes locked onto the grey-haired little girl not far away.

'That little girl! Yes, it's her! She's controlling the Abyssal Demon! And... and it seems like "Snow Devourer" obeys her too! If I can capture her, I can survive!'

'What's more'

'This little girl appeared to have almost no power!'

With this thought,

Marta gritted her teeth, forcibly resisting the overwhelming force of the nearby Shadow energy, and sprung towards the grey-haired little girl!.

If I can just seize control over her, perhaps I can alter this omen fate'

However,

In the face of Marta charging at her and risking her life, the little girl maintained a playful smile, her emerald eyes narrowing slightly.

Under Marta's puzzled gaze, the little girl slowly lifted her seemingly "soft and powerless" hand,

A jade-colored light suddenly gathered at the little girl's fingertips,

As the light gathered,

A powerful pressure rivaling "Snow Devourer", erupted from the little girl's body! In an instant, the mighty force rushed towards Marta like a hurricane, swallowing her whole.

''?!! !''

'How... how is this possible?!!'

'She... she's at the level of a Demon King?!'

The intense Force shattered the Holy Magic surrounding Marta's body, causing her to struggle to maintain her composure, eventually kneeling to the ground.

She tried to resist further, but to her horror, she found she couldn't move at all! All she could do was fixate her fear-filled gaze on the girl in front of her.

Just a little bit of her power...

'Is there such a strong and powerful Demon in this world!!!'

'The thickness of her shadow aura is no less than Sndow Devourer'

Marta was almost certain that the girl before her was an Abyssal Demon King! Upon realizing this, the tiny spark of hope that had ignited in her eyes was snuffed out mercilessly.

In its place arose an insurmountable abyss of despair and confusion.

'A Demon King?!'

'A humanoid Demon King?!'

'What is going on here?!'

Numerous doubts sprouted in Marta's mind,

Unfortunately, she was too weak to ponder these questions.

Perhaps the Demon King, the little girl, had no intention of affording Marta any time to think.

"Hehe~"

With a dismissive chuckle, a jade-colored light flickered in the little girl's eyes.

The compressed jade-colored power of shadow in her hand was suddenly released! Like the reaper harvesting souls, it roared toward Marta and swung the merciless soul-reaping scythe.

The next moment, Marta's eyes widened in shock as the jade-colored light hit her.

The light in her eyes extinguished instantly, and her body was torn to shreds.

Then, a strange green flame suddenly ignited from the cut in her body.

Within seconds, it burned her to ashes, leaving no remnants, not even her soul survived.

...

"Too many overestimate their abilities"

Looking at the woman who had been completely eradicated, the grey-haired little girl, Liyu, muttered with disdain.

Then, the little girl's gaze shifted to the nearby battlefield.

After she killed Marta, the battle had already ended.

What was once a riverbank blanketed with ice and snow was now coated with a layer of Bloody red.

Pieces of flesh and pools of blood were everywhere, even Liyu's own clothes were smeared with someone's entrails.

Gazing at the grim ruins, Liyu frowned.

'Damn it, my clothes, the ones Mom made for me, are dirty now...'

As Liyu wiped her clothes, a large white wolf slowly approached her.

Its low howls resonated in her ears.

"Awu awu, awu awu?!" (Why are you cleaning your clothes? Hurry and clean up the scene before Mom finds out!)

"There's no need, I can't hide it from Mom anyway."

Liyu responded nonchalantly, shaking her head.

To this Limo seemed slightly puzzled.

She tilted her head toward her little sister and questioned.

"Awu awu? Awu awu awu?" (Hmm, but what if Mom gets mad and scolds you? You promised Mommy after the last incident, not to attack the people from Asumos Church, remember?)

To this question, Liyu shot her sister a glance and eyed the remnants of the Earth Apostle in her sister's mouth helplessly.

"Don't worry about me, Sis. You should worry about yourself more. With your reckless eating habits, what if Mommy finds out? You'll be in bigger trouble."

"Awu awu, awu awu? Awu awu awu, awu..." (Huh? I'm simply enjoying my food Okay?! And what's there to fear? Mom isn't here now! By the time she notices us, I'll have already digested him~ Hehe~)

The giant wolf, known as Limo, laughed fearlessly.

However, the next moment, Limo stopped laughing because she looked up and saw that her mother had appeared in front of them without her realizing it.

Her mother was staring at them angrily.

" Meow...?!"

"Acting cute won't save you this time..."
