Their romance storyline only begins on the second playthrough

"what--!"

"No, please, please let me go..."

"Wait……"

Rhodes's killing was tantamount to slicing their necks with a steel wire; if one cut wasn't enough, he would repeat it several times.

This is the truly desperate way to die.

Compared to the weak, the three witches who could endure it were the ones who suffered the most.

Because they were already in so much pain from the damage that they couldn't move, let alone try to get close to Rhodes, who was casting spells from a distance.

It only lasted a few more seconds.

They ultimately died from the horrific severing and cutting.

His neck was twisted into a horribly mangled mess, and even as he lay on the ground, his breath still carried the scent of fear.

Completely clean.

With a few casual swings of his hand, Rhodes killed all the witches.

He stepped inside through the completely collapsed gate.

Footsteps echoed calmly in the now-empty rest area.

“…What is this?” Cedric murmured. “It’s incredibly powerful.”

As powerful beings who have advanced seven times, they are naturally able to sense the life force of their enemies. But the problem is that Rhode wiped out a whole group of demons in just a few moves.

Everyone has a field like that.

Special ranged skills are also available.

But there has never been a case of someone silently and instantly locking onto someone and killing them directly.

At this moment, the fear in Cedric's heart pierced through his soul.

This was the first time he had sensed the danger posed by [Rhodes].

It was only in that instant that I understood where Rhodes got the confidence to follow them...

This isn't about confidence; it's about having the fundamental strength to back it up.

Everyone followed Rhodes in, while Ivina pushed aside Lilith and leaned against Rhodes, her hands trembling slightly.

Too many people have died.

All around, the entire rest area was bathed in blood. Whether it was the cafe or the prop shop, the thick, scarlet blood covered the ground, and the roads outside were even more blood-soaked.

As soon as Rhodes and his companions stepped on it, they were completely tainted by the stench of blood.

Not to mention that a casual glance might reveal the sinister look in the eyes of a dead witch.

It's impossible for Ivina, who has practically never killed anyone, not to be afraid.

“Rhodes…”

"Just don't look."

Chapter 186 I'm Afraid of Death

Blood contamination.

The blood of the dead witch is seeping into the ground.

The resentment left in their bodies is flowing into the body of the [Degenerate Goddess] along with the blood.

The lower half of the goddess of lust was opening her hideous mouth, frantically devouring these resentful thoughts.

As the resentment seeped into her body, her enormous form grew increasingly dark and covered in thorns, and the madness of the curse began to deepen.

But before this terrifying resentment, Cecilia simply knelt calmly, seemingly obedient and serene.

Then, her long eyelashes fluttered slightly as she opened her eyes, gazing at the increasingly ferocious monster. After a long silence, she pursed her lips and spoke:

"Goddess of Fallen Desire, are you in pain?"

“Our companions are dying one after another, to be sacrificed and become a part of you.”

"Your mental state is already very, very bad. If you continue to absorb this, you will completely lose sight of your identity, your name, and everything else."

Cecilia's voice echoed in the empty conference room, and the upper body of the Fallen Goddess moved slightly at the same time.

The Fallen Goddess opened the pupils of her upper body, revealing her pure white eyes—

If you succeed, that's enough.

I am too weak; I cannot even withstand this level of pollution.

Therefore, I can only entrust this to you...

The goddess of lust had long since lost the ability to speak.

The voice seemed to emanate from a dark, malevolent hell, distant and direct, forever entering Cecilia's mind directly.

But the voice of the goddess of lust was not unpleasant at all; it was like that of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, still clear, melodious, pretty, and lively.

"Another comrade has died. Rhodes and his men are advancing very quickly. If this continues, they will encounter the Fission Witch soon."

Is she the one who's going to die...?

"Yes, the path they took led to the location of the Fission Guardian."

[Fission's real name is Vivian Thorne. She's the girl I raised; she's a good child. Cecilia, remember that.]

"Okay, I'll always remember that."

Witches are nothing but a rabble that has fallen into darkness.

There are stronger demons and stronger witches in this world, but we, the Dream of Anchitanlano, will always be the ones who support your success.

“I understand.” Cecilia nodded gently.

The Dream of Angelanano.

This is not the power of all witches and demons in this world.

This is just a group of "future-oriented" witches who support Cecilia and believe that witches can still be redeemed and can once again receive the protection of the demon god.

The power was established by the goddess of lust, who had been promoted eight times, as the strongest ruler, with Cecilia as the core member.

In fact, they themselves are extremely contradictory and bizarre beings.

They believed that witches could be redeemed and no longer be in the darkest place in the world, but what they did was more radical than other witches who had not formed their own factions.

They slaughtered people in various empires and infiltrated their respective border towns, all so that Cecilia could grow up and become the next Demon God.

But the facts are also clear.

Even if they succeed, they will no longer be qualified to integrate into the community.

They have killed too many people. Even if they shed their demonic "cannibalistic" identity, they are still unadulterated murderers, demons, and monsters.

Therefore, they are a generation that will be sacrificed no matter what.

They understood.

Understand your own identity, status, and future situation.

Therefore, what they are doing is not for their present selves, but for the demons of the "future".

Cecilia often thought they were a bunch of incredibly stupid people, and even now, they're not that far off.

Her goals are different from those of this group of people.

They wanted to support her to become a demon god to save the next generation, but she simply wanted to end the demons' cannibalistic behavior and become the strongest being so that Rhodes could stay with her forever.

In other words, their goal is to sacrifice themselves, while her goal is to satisfy herself.

But... even though they were a group of people with completely different ideas and beliefs from her, she was unusually moved by their presence.

Maybe it's because they're incredibly stupid.

...

...

Rhodes and his men had been moving through this tunnel for at least thirty minutes.

After killing that group of witches upon entering, they went on to kill dozens more witches scattered in various locations.

They had crossed the area where the witches lived and worked and arrived at the sacrificial area.

This area was originally like an underground water source.

A circular pillar, over ten meters tall, supported the upper and lower sides of this space. Calm water flowed past Rhodes and his companions' feet. Looking around, all they could see was a vast, dark void with no end in sight.

A cold, damp wind began to whistle and hiss resentfully across Rhodes and his companions' faces.

They walked through the area, their mental state remaining as cautious as ever.

Clearly, Rhodes was certain that an extremely terrifying ultimate monster awaited them ahead.

Whether Charlotte is reliable or not, Rhodes doesn't know.

Ultimately, he still has to rely on himself.

Having been upgraded five times, he was able to suppress a demon seed that had been upgraded six times; therefore, having been upgraded six times, he would be able to suppress a demon seed that had been upgraded seven times.

[You have hunted a large number of demonic creatures; their resentment has been absorbed.]

Your attribute values ​​have increased.
