The Villain Saint is my secondary account

"What's wrong with my stomach?!"

"By the God of Light, he's still alive!?"

"Shut up, all of you!!!" The adjutant, his forehead dripping with cold sweat, immediately shouted, "What are you idiots standing there for?! What are you waiting for?! Go and stab him to death!?! Do you expect him to get up and dance for you?!?!"

As he spoke, the adjutant reached into the pocket on the side of his light armor with his left hand, trying to grasp something, but found nothing.

Wait, where are my relics?!

"So that's how it is. You used this to unleash a demonic spell?"

A light, clear voice sounded from behind, and the adjutant turned around in alarm.

A petite girl in white appeared out of nowhere, sitting atop a pyramid of wine barrels with her slender legs crossed, smiling at them.

Chapter Seventy-One "Contract"

The girl had silver pigtails draped over her shoulders, her delicate face with a slight upturn at the corners of her pink lips, and her bright red eyes seemed to be curiously observing them.

Her delicate fingertips, clad in white silk gloves, were playing with a bloodshot, shriveled eyeball.

The adjutant's eyes widened, for the devil's eyeball in the other man's hand was the very thing he had previously hidden in his pocket.

The soldiers were also drawn by the commotion behind them and all turned around.

"The Light...the Holy Maiden of Light!??"

Despite being in shock, the adjutant recognized the famous star of the capital city at a glance.

"Hey, being too beautiful has its downsides, everyone can recognize me at a glance." Ella tilted her head and tossed the eyeball in her hand into her spatial ring. "Well, it doesn't really matter."

As she spoke, her captivating gaze fell upon the man in the bathrobe in the corner. "Mr. Isaac, are you feeling better?"

"Saintess of Light??? Why are you here!?" At this moment, Isaac, who was in shock, had completely recovered.

Only the several blood-stained holes in his robe proved the suffering he had just endured.

"You call yourself a nobleman? When you see your savior, don't you know you should say thank you first?" Ella waved her hand.

Just then, the adjutant, unable to tolerate the other party's arrogant attitude any longer, roared, "You bunch of idiots, what the hell are you standing there for?! Go and kill her now?!"

"No...this isn't good...!?"

"Boss, this...this will bring retaliation from the Holy Temple, won't it!?"

This time, the soldiers did seem somewhat hesitant.

"Are you all idiots?! If we kill her here, who will know it was us?!" The adjutant's face turned red with anger. "Are you going to just watch her take Isaac away? We'll all be dead then!!!"

Hearing their leader's words, the soldiers finally made up their minds, gripped their spears, and slowly leaned towards Ella, who was sitting on the pile of wine barrels, their bodies trembling.

“How loyal,” Ella said, standing on her tiptoes and looking down at the group of soldiers who were approaching. “Why don’t you listen to me and go and arrest that babbling old man? I can get the Holy Temple to protect you, you know.”

"Ella Heville, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're the Holy Maiden of Light!" the adjutant roared. "Dare to meddle in things that aren't your business, and you'll pay the price!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of soldiers raised their spears and thrust them at Ella, who was standing on the pile of wine barrels.

But just as several spear tips were about to strike that petite body, the girl in white moved her thin lips slightly and suddenly disappeared into thin air.

The intersecting spearheads missed their targets and struck each other with a crisp sound.

“Well then, my faithful Mr. Isaac, let’s make a deal.”

A melodious, ethereal voice drifted from the corner of the wall like a ghost. The panicked soldiers and their adjutant looked in the direction of the sound, only to find that the girl's figure had reappeared beside Isaac.

With her back to a group of soldiers, Ella looked down at Isaac with her eyes slightly curved into crescents and a smile on her face, gently extending a fair arm.

"I can do whatever you want to do, in exchange for your soul belonging to me from now on."

"Of course, you can choose not to accept it; I never force anyone."

“Mr. Isaac, let me see if your loyalty to Loren is worth sacrificing your soul.”

While Ella was speaking, the soldiers weren't intentionally trying to avoid going forward; they simply found their bodies seemingly out of control, frozen in place and completely unable to move.

By using "Renata's Web" to transfer magic to the body and freeze movement, a group of mortals of only proficiency level had no means of resistance.

As for the adjutant, Ella completely ignored him; the guy was simply too terrified to move an inch.

Sitting in the corner, covered in blood, Isaac looked at Ella with a hint of mockery in his eyes, swallowed hard, and said, "You...are you really...the Saintess...?"

“Of course, it was personally certified by the God of Light.” Ella smiled charmingly.

Isaac gritted his teeth. He didn't know what the future held if he trusted this bizarre saintess, but he knew it couldn't be worse than what Loren was like now.

As for his soul, it didn't matter... Anyway, from the day he swore allegiance, he was already prepared to give everything.

Isaac gave a carefree smile, but unfortunately, it looked somewhat ferocious on his sinister and blood-stained face.

"Fine, take whatever you want... I don't care what you are, as long as you can help me... save the empire!"

Isaac's voice trembled, a mixture of excitement and grief in his voice. He raised one hand and took Ella's delicate hand in his from bottom to top.

Your Majesty Harold, you owe me a favor!

"The contract is made, Mr. Isaac, your soul is mine now."

The touch of the girl's delicate hand was soft and slightly cool, and a bright and alluring smile suddenly appeared on her lovely face, making Isaac's heartstrings tremble in an instant.

As the girl finished speaking, the soldiers suddenly regained control of their bodies.

“Kill her!!!”

They charged toward Ella, who was slowly turning around, with long spears in their hands.

The silver-haired girl looked at the crowd and gently touched the air with her slender finger.

The dozen or so charging soldiers stopped in shock and let out painful howls in unison.

Driven by their forward momentum, they clutched their heads, curled up, and rolled on the ground, their limbs trembling like twisting, frantic insects.

Then Ella slowly walked through the struggling and writhing soldiers on the ground and approached her adjutant, whose face was filled with terror and who was beginning to lose his composure.

Heart-wrenching screams of pain echoed in the cellar. Isaac, in the corner, saw the soldier's body on the ground crack like shattered ceramic, from which dark tentacles slowly emerged.

Even though Isaac knew Ella was on his side, seeing this scene filled him with a wave of fear towards the woman.

In his more than forty years of life, he had never seen such a horrific scene. Was this something a human being could do?

What exactly is that person who calls herself the Holy Maiden of Light?

"I...I...Holy Maiden, please spare me..." The adjutant, who was no longer arrogant, collapsed to the ground as the white-clad girl approached, his pants already soaked.

Upon catching a slight whiff of the pungent, foul odor, Ella's lips twitched involuntarily, and she stopped a short distance away.

"Your Holiness... I also pledge my allegiance to you!!... I will give you anything you want!!... Please, please spare me..." The adjutant's voice trembled into a sob. He prostrated himself, kowtowing fiercely, not even caring that the blood smeared on the floor.

Compared to Isaac, this guy is really pathetic...

Ella crossed her arms and gave her adjutant a disdainful look: "I don't want you, you piece of trash."

Then, a giant tentacle emerged from the ground and dragged the screaming adjutant into a quagmire.

Chapter Seventy-Two: Ella's Interrogation

Of course, Ella couldn't possibly sign any soul contract with Isaac.

Firstly, other people's souls are of no use to her; she's not really a demon from hell who devours souls.

In fact, she only ate the grapefruit lemon flavored mini cake.

Secondly, she has no ability related to contracts at all; the real constraint still depends on the familiar's monitoring and the life force that was just put into the other party's body.

So, Ella simply picked up a piece of parchment with a bunch of tiny tentacles dipped in red paint and scribbled all over it, and had Isaac bite his finger, leaving his bloody fingerprints on it.

Then she set the parchment ablaze with black holy flame, and in Isaac's eyes, a bizarre ritual was completed.

The talk about the soul was partly to test Isaac and see what he was really thinking, and partly to intimidate him and prevent him from having any inappropriate thoughts in the future.

After all, most people wouldn't be able to tell a lie in that situation.

Isaac knelt on one knee before Ella, head bowed, trying to ignore the soldiers still writhing in pain on the ground around him, and said in a trembling voice, "Isaac Eugene awaits your command, Master."

Well, I didn't mean to play that kind of game... Oh well, let's leave it at that.

"Now that you have become my servant, consider this a gift from me."

With a flick of her wrist, Ella conjured a large black raven from her palm, which flapped its wings and landed on Isaac's shoulder.

Then, tentacles sprouted from the soldiers who were still writhing on the ground, twisted and rose from the ground, formed a circle, and prostrated themselves before Isaac.

The next moment, Isaac felt his mind connect with the raven on his shoulder and the group of terrifying-looking soldiers.

He could sense that he only needed to have a simple thought in his mind, and the crows and these soldiers would be at his command.

Of course, this was essentially Ella using the authority of the moon goddess to allow Isaac to access the divine power belonging to Ella that had attached to him after he ate the rat.

The moon goddess's divine power isn't particularly strong in combat, but it's really useful in terms of functionality.

"Thank you, Master," Isaac said respectfully, swallowing hard.

Ella nodded slightly, then had a large tentacle throw the unconscious adjutant and the wealthy merchant friend who had betrayed Isaac in front of Isaac.

"I want to know where this eyeball came from; you can decide the rest yourself."

As Ella spoke, she took the demon eyeball that her adjutant had used earlier from her spatial ring and tossed it to Isaac.

"As ordered."

Isaac turned his gaze to his wealthy friend, who had already fainted from fright, gritted his teeth, and then drew his sword and slit the man's throat.

The betrayal of his wealthy friend was one of the reasons he took action, but more importantly, he considered that this might be a test from that terrifying being.

He had to decisively show his resolve and ruthlessness, lest he be reduced to a useless pawn in that person's eyes.

Ella was indeed somewhat taken aback. She didn't know how to deal with the wealthy businessman since he hadn't done anything to her. But if she didn't kill him, he might say something he shouldn't. So she had no choice but to leave him in Isaac's care.

I didn't expect Isaac to be so decisive, killing him right away. It seems this guy really hates those who betrayed him.

Then, Ella opened a portal with a single finger, leading Isaac and a group of corrupted soldiers away from the wine cellar.

To facilitate doing some less-than-honorable things, Ella set up a teleportation beacon in the dungeon of the Temple of Light.

For now, it's convenient to use it to settle Isaac first. No matter how powerful the First Prince and the Fourth Prince are, they still have to think twice before storming the Loren Sanctuary.

Besides Isaac, a new guest has now arrived in the dungeon on the other side of the corridor.

In the cell, Lu Yu, the player who was tied up in a chair, and Ye Xiao, who was in charge of the interrogation and was leaning against the wall, were still in a standoff.

"Dude, that's enough already. If someone else comes along, you're in for a world of hurt."

Wearing a cloak, Lu Yu looked at Ye Xiao, whose eyes were half-drooping, and snorted disdainfully.

This was the player Ye Xiao had captured from Isaac's mansion.

After escorting Skadi back to the academy, Ye Xiao said he wanted to take the guy away for interrogation. With the strong order from the eldest princess Skadi, the royal guards couldn't compete with Ye Xiao for this.

Skadi was a little resentful that Ye Xiao hadn't accompanied her back to the manor for the last short distance.

However, considering that Ye Xiao did indeed have something to do, and that he was being escorted by a group of royal guards in an academy that already had a lot of security, they were quite sensible.

However, in reality, although Ye Xiao was not with Skadi, Ella's crows were following the eldest princess closely at all times. Even though they were in the academy, they still had to be on guard.

After all, the fourth prince, Raymond, is also in the academy.

"alright."

Back in the Holy Temple dungeon, Ye Xiao looked at Lu Yu and shrugged helplessly.

He was, after all, just a swordsman; at most, he would only throw a couple of punches or slash a couple of times during an interrogation.

For tough work, Ella has to do it.

"I warned you beforehand."

After saying that, Ye Xiao waved his hand and walked out of the dungeon.

Before Lu Yu, who was sitting on the chair, could understand what was going on, he saw a silver-haired girl in a white dress walk in next.

"The Holy Maiden of Light!?" Lu Yu was somewhat surprised, then grinned, revealing a blood-stained mouth. "You're not going to interrogate me, are you? Hahaha, the Holy Maiden who spreads light and love actually knows how to interrogate? What method do you plan to use, a honey trap?"

Ella narrowed her eyes and smiled slightly.

Then, she placed an hourglass in the corner of the wall and said, "I'll hear from you in thirty minutes."
