The Mythical Path of a Princess from a Destroyed Kingdom

A crisp metallic clang rang in their ears. She slowly pushed the point where the weapons met toward Wright, and the light of the Demon-Slaying Slash, formed by her will and positive energy, made her feel a little stinging.

She could clearly feel her hands being burned by some kind of energy, but the girl's own strength was still greater than Wright's.

After a brief stalemate, Maginus pushed Wright away with force, interrupting the energy attack that the Demon Slayer Sword was launching at her.

She swung the short sword forcefully; it wasn't very comfortable for her to handle, and it was the type of weapon she was least proficient with among the three.

Just as the girl was about to resume her fighting stance and continue battling Wright, a violent explosion erupted nearby, interrupting their fight.

The very light-weight Maginus was blasted away by the shockwave. She extended her life force in that direction and discovered that the succubus Laura had already captured the goblin warlock.

Most of the injuries sustained by Ms. Conova Jackson seem to have been caused by her own actions.

She was a wild sorcerer, a profession with a great deal of unpredictability. The explosion just now was formed by a random surge of magic caused during the casting of a spell.

At this moment, all the nobles around her were injured, ranging from dead to slightly wounded.

Life force surged forth to heal her injuries, and Laura, carrying the goblin warlock, flew up joyfully. Maginus ignored Wright, who was barely able to stand, and as soon as Laura waved and left with a high-level teleportation spell, she immediately retreated into the red mist.

"stop!"

Wright roared and charged toward the girl, losing track of her halfway there.

Maginus returned to her original position, took off her clothes, and changed her hair color back to white. Just as Ilsis, whose hair had turned white again, heard someone calling her real name from not far away.

"Magnus! I'm going to kill you!"

Did they successfully frame someone?

She was overwhelmed with debt and didn't care. Her life force reached out to watch the show quietly and discovered that "Magnus" had used magic to condense a blue, semi-transparent short sword similar to hers, and then grinned as she raised a male head.

The Bloodstained Society attacked everywhere, but only a handful of people were actually killed. Most of the assassins were just there to fill the ranks, and the number of people actually responsible for the assassinations was roughly the same as the number of assassins.

Observing the Bloodstained Society's actions, Maginus kept a close eye on Rosley Holly's side, where the mid-level assassin in charge of her was still being singled out by Paladin Captain Kent.

She had been watching the show from a corner, and Laura returned to her side about three or four minutes later, even carrying a piece of cake.

"Is the Bloodstained Society preparing to retreat? Have reinforcements arrived yet?"

"No, they seem to have just accomplished an important task. Maginus successfully decapitated a man."

After describing the guy's appearance, Laura suddenly realized who it was, raised her hand to cover her face, and showed a sad expression:

"Oh~, that's Cardiff Flann, one of the big spenders of our Lusty Lips Ball. I never thought he'd die like that~."

"He illegally sold us many children and slaves, and he also liked to do some extreme things in the shop. It's such a pity."

Maginus ignored Laura's expression, her eyes flickering slightly as she noticed that the Bloodstained Society assassins were showing signs of retreating, leaving one by one.

The life force radiated outwards in beams, and the Holly family's guards arrived late, making it hard not to suspect that there was a traitor within the Holly family.

I reckon someone did this specifically to gain power, but unfortunately it didn't work out in the end, and Rosley Holly is still doing well.

As the guards approached, the assassins and the Bloodstained Spellcasters, who were hiding somewhere, retreated in an orderly fashion, with only a few people covering the rear.

As the red mist gradually dissipated, a chaotic banquet scene was revealed to everyone.

Chapter 299 Troublesome Weapons

The banquet was in complete disarray. The nobles who had escaped unscathed breathed a sigh of relief, clearly still shaken. However, the matter was far from over.

The Holly family members, who had brought their private army, surrounded the house, saying they were there to prevent spies from escaping and colluding with the Bloodstained Society.

This directly provoked the dissatisfaction of the nobles, who no longer cared whether the Holly family was one of the four great families, and began to curse loudly. Members of the other three families who came to the banquet also cursed loudly.

Anyone with eyes could see that there were problems within the Holly family; otherwise, why would their private soldiers have taken more than thirty minutes to arrive after the chaos had begun?

Under pressure from numerous nobles, those who had initially wanted to control the situation immediately retreated, ordering their family's private soldiers to clear the way. Maginus and Laura, who had seized two people in the chaos, were released after only a brief inspection.

Returning to the Lusty Lips Ball by carriage, Maginus shrugged and asked for her payment. Laura was very generous and led her to a room on the rooftop, where she took out many things from her dimensional bag and placed them on the large table in front of her.

"Pick one yourself. If there's anything you like, I can explain it to you. I can also tell you about the information I got from that Slaughter God Child later."

Laura had just finished speaking to Maginus when she took out a crystal ball and projected a scene of the dungeon onto the thin white marble in front of her.

A group of succubi surrounded the murderous god, whose face was fierce and whose limbs were still severed. They reached out and stroked the murderous god's body, uttering filthy words.

Laura waved her hand, and in another cell, Mrs. Cornova Jackson, who had been brought back, was now becoming ugly.

The succubi seemed to be stimulating and drawing upon the blood within her, while wisps of pink magic were being drawn from Konova's body.

She wailed and begged the succubus to stop, to kill her rather than take away her beauty.

Konova's body began to shrink, his smooth skin became increasingly rough, his nose gradually became thinner, and even bluish spots began to appear.

Maginus glanced at them a few times before turning her gaze away and examining the equipment in front of her, reaching out to touch each piece one by one.

Bones form the framework, blood vessels the threads, and flesh and blood the filling...

The stolen feathers, the resentment of the dead, the physical remains left behind by one's own children...

The succubus displayed equipment that was all filled with malice; regardless of its strength, its evil was off the charts.

"Don't you have any decent equipment here that would suit me?"

"Aren't you an Avenger, a Slaughter God? It's normal for you to use this kind of equipment, right?"

Laura didn't turn her head, admiring the methods of her "children." She realized something was amiss as soon as she finished speaking and looked curiously at the girl:

"Come to think of it, you have absolutely no sense of extremism or bloodlust towards the God of Slaughter."

"It's just that it's well hidden, not that it's not there. I'm good at controlling myself, and none of the equipment here seems suitable for me."

Maginus tried to casually change the subject, but Laura raised an eyebrow; her succubus nature drew her closer, and she met the girl's gaze with interest.

“Miss Ilsis, as an avenger who is about to deal with multiple countries, I see that you are already prepared to indiscriminately kill innocent people. Why are you suppressing yourself like this?”

"Perhaps it's because I don't want to be completely controlled by the desire to kill?"

"Isn't it good to be controlled by desires? I think you've experienced it too, haven't you? The joy of completely liberating your true nature is unparalleled."

A seductive voice echoed in Maginot's ears, but she calmly met Laura's gaze, completely unaffected:

"I don't agree with that. The most exhilarating thing is to restrain yourself in normal times and then release all your suppressed desires in an instant."

“Succubus,” the girl turned her head and rummaged through her equipment, “I am human, not a demon; I am the child of slaughter, not the god of slaughter.”

"You mean you still have a choice?"

Looking at the indifferent white-haired girl, Laura's lips curled up even higher:

"Well, I understand why Mother helped you. There's nothing more interesting than watching someone walk a tightrope above an abyss, isn't there?"

Without responding to the succubus's words, Maginus rummaged through the filthy weapons and found two bone scimitars. Their lack of luster concealed their malice, yet they were poised to strike at any moment.

"I can sense psionic fluctuations above."

Laura looked at the bone knife, closed her eyes, and recalled for a moment, then clapped her hands and said:

“Oh, it was made from the hand bones of a psionicist who fell into the abyss. I got it from a dwarf blacksmith in Hell.”

The lower realm is not only inhabited by demons and devils; in fact, there are many creatures from other planes there, who are usually captured by demons and devils to do hard labor.

After they die as laborers and slaves, their souls will be used as currency. If they gain the favor of high-ranking demons, they can retain some memories and be directly molded into new demons.

"It contains chaotic abyssal magic, which will cause greater damage to those of the Order faction."

Maginus could sense more than that; as she gripped the scimitar, she felt her psychic powers strengthen, which was negligible to her but quite good for Neko.

To match Neko's fighting style, I'll make her a tail blade later.

After stuffing the two matching scimitars into her dimensional pouch, Maginus walked out, leaving behind the words: "Remember to call me if it involves the Bloodstained Society."

"So boring~... What did Master go to do, meow~~..."

In the empty house, Nei Ke idly climbed from the second floor to the first floor, and then from the first floor to the second floor, throwing two curved knives and a dagger higher and higher, but she always managed to catch them steadily.

The electric currents she creates with her psychic powers are still difficult to leave her body, but she recently discovered that she can use them to stick many things to her body, increasing her body's attraction to those things.

She loosened her grip on the scimitar and released the tail of the dagger, but the scimitar and dagger remained stuck to her tail and palm, teetering precariously and likely to fall at any moment.

Footsteps sounded outside the gate. Neike immediately stopped playing with himself, gripped his weapon tightly, and hid in the shadows, ready to attack any unfamiliar intruders at any moment.

The sound of a lock being opened rang out, the door was pushed open, and the candles beside the door were lit. Maginos's gaze was already fixed on the hiding place inside.

"Owner!"

The cat rushed towards her, and the girl embraced it tightly, letting out a breath as she felt the softness and warmth of its body.

After setting down Neco, Maginus tossed over two scimitars.

Chapter 300 Wilderness Combat

Children and women have been frequently going missing in the Red Sparrow City residential area, suspected of being abducted by human traffickers...

Sardine Restaurant urgently needs barracuda, eel, and other fish; price negotiable, no less than...

A small group of goblins has appeared in the forest outside Red Sparrow City. The authorities have hired adventurers to clear them out, with a bounty offered...

In front of the noisy bulletin board, many adventurers and unemployed people were looking for things to do.

Whenever someone finds a job they like, they tear off the commission paper and then go to complete the commission to receive the reward, or go to the work location to participate in the work.

Maginos was standing in front of the announcement; she wasn't short of money, but mainly it was for someone else.

Yes, she wasn't alone; her right hand was holding the hand of the somewhat timid Neko.

Catwoman, who had always wanted to go out and play, couldn't help but feel scared when she finally came out of the house and stood in the crowd. She was always worried that she would be captured again. Only the soft right hand that Neko held in her left hand could give Neko a little sense of security.

The cat, dressed in loose casual clothes, felt agitated under the intense gaze of many eyes, wishing she could erase all those malicious stares.

Just as she was about to explode, a cold voice came: "Didn't you really want to come out and have fun? Anyway, choose a mission yourself."

Hearing the cold voice, Nei Ke perked up and looked at the notice board. She recognized some words and didn't, but she could barely understand them.

After careful consideration, she tore off a piece of paper with a mission: to go to the forest not far from Red Sparrow City and clear out a tribe of about 10-15 kobolds.

The forest is better; there are fewer people there.

Back home dejectedly, Neko complained, "It wasn't fun outside at all! There were so many people, and so many bad people were staring at me!"

"Then I'll turn myself into a bad guy and hone my stealth skills so I won't attract other people's attention."

Maginus took the commission paper from Neko's hand and looked it over. The task was relatively simple, just right for Neko to handle.

Dog-headed people are humanoid creatures with red skin and covered in scales, and they are generally less than 1.2 meters tall.

People usually think they are related to dragons, but in fact they are called dog-headed people not because they have dog heads, but because their voices are like barking dogs. Their heads are actually more like lizard people.

Their strength is comparable to that of the goblins, and they sometimes fight over territory. However, since bloodline sorcerers are more common among the kobolds, they usually have the upper hand.

Closing the commission paper, Maginus said, "Get ready, you're going to practice."

More than a month has passed since the Bloodstained Society wreaked havoc at the Holly family's residence. The Bloodstained Society has been besieged by nobles and has not come out of the city for some time, so naturally they have not sent anyone to assassinate Maginus again.

Having lost her source of combat experience, she has been fighting alongside Neko all by herself recently.

She knew that one could not grow without experiencing battle, and she wanted Neko to try to deal with the kobold tribe on her own, regardless of what methods Neko used.

She only takes action when Neko is in a near-death state; pain and near-death are experiences for Neko.

"Alright, they're just kobolds. Trust me, I can handle them easily!"

Neke patted his chest confidently, recalling the information about the kobolds in his mind, and wasn't too worried.

Even a farmer could take down a kobold soldier one-on-one, she was confident she could take down all the monsters in thirty, no, one hour!

"Meow! Another trap! If you're so tough, fight me head-on!"

Neko said angrily, her body covered in scrapes and cuts.

Rewind a bit, and into the dense jungle, Maginus quickly found the kobold tribe, then hid in a tree and let Neko deal with them on her own.

The cat confidently stepped into the enemy's territory, but before she even entered, her right foot sank into the ground, and the withered grass she was lying on fell to the ground.

A huge pit appeared in front of them, filled with sharpened wooden spikes. Falling into it would surely result in being completely pierced.

Similar to goblins, this weak race relies heavily on traps for protection, and there are numerous traps near their tribes.

Whether or not it can kill adventurers, it will certainly annoy newcomers.

Just as Neko was about to fall, she widened her eyes, adjusted her posture, and before her body had completely landed, bent her legs and leaped, steadily overcoming the first obstacle.

When the kobold guard saw Neko charging in alone, he initially thought it was prey and excitedly rushed down to fight Neko head-on.

After several rounds, with about two people dead, the kobolds scattered like birds and beasts, running into the tribe to hide.

After a period of great success, what awaited her next was not a direct confrontation with the kobolds, but rather more traps.
