Chapter 783 - 784: Betrayal

Sorry for the delay, I will publish 2 more chapters today.

--------

At present, in order to survive, Lisa’s brain was running at an unprecedented speed as she was being strangled by Bloody Butterfly.

After a moment of intense thought, Lisa decided to take a risk.

Although she had always stayed in the church’s sanctuary, far from the battlefield, she had carefully observed and remembered every scene on the battlefield through observation magic.

The conversation between Hakim of the Holy Tower and Bloody Butterfly was also heard by her.

Thus, Lisa also learned about the curse on the Girl of Destiny.

As expected, the Demon Temple would not let the Girl of Destiny go. Not only the Girl of Destiny, but all the forces on the continent that were hostile to the abyssal demons, she seemed to not want to let go. The reason why she did not take action against the Girl of Destiny before was probably because she did not want to alarm the snake.

After all, the holy war was established based on the Girl of Destiny. If the Girl of Destiny was in trouble before the war started, the holy war alliance would probably self-destruct. In this way, Bloody Butterfly would not be able to complete her ’one-net-sweep’ plan.

Therefore, Bloody Butterfly placed a curse on the Girl of Destiny that would explode later. On one hand, ensuring that the human alliance would still launch an attack, on the other hand, secretly eroding the Girl of Destiny.

And now?

The Holy War Alliance was about to be defeated, and Bloody Butterfly could eliminate the Girl of Destiny without hesitation.

Although the Girl of Destiny had been cursed by Bloody Butterfly, she was the chosen one, protected by the goddess. Whether the curse would take her life was still uncertain.

Facing the existence that posed the greatest threat to herself, Bloody Butterfly would not let her go.

If Lisa were in Bloody Butterfly’s position, she would definitely do the same. Without seeing the Girl of Destiny’s corpse, she would not rest easy.

Under this train of thought, Lisa mustered up her courage and said to Bloody Butterfly, "I... I can take you to find the Girl of Destiny!"

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, the black-haired girl looked surprised and raised her eyebrows, "Take me to find the Girl of Destiny? Do you know where she is?"

"Yes, yes. I know where she is in seclusion, it’s a very hidden place."

"She is the Girl of Destiny, your human’s savior, and your last hope. Are you betraying her like this?" The black-haired girl asked curiously.

However, her hand that was holding Lisa’s neck also loosened slightly.

And this, further confirmed Lisa’s guess.

’As I thought, Bloody Butterfly still wanted to kill the chosen one completely’

"I, I just want to prove that we from Sky City have no intention of being enemies with you. You see... In these years, since I took lead, has the Sky City ever initiated an attack on the abyssal demons? We participated in this holy war only because we were forced by that bitch Girl of Destiny, and that asshole, Kael.

"Hmmm, how do I know if you are not deceiving me? What if the Girl of Destiny and other have set up traps in their secluded places and are waiting for me to go there? Who knows, maybe you are pretending to surrender and luring me to the closed land?"

"No, no, that’s impossible."

Lisa shook her head repeatedly.

"You, you haven’t talked to that guy, Kadispan, have you? I don’t know if he told you. We, the people of Sky City, like you, hate that little bitch Girl of Destiny. When she was in Sky City, we never gave her a face. Although we didn’t kill her directly, we didn’t spare her from various physical and mental tortures. For example, once when she failed to escape, I used magic to amplify her sensory sensitivity by several times and then gave her electric shock! You don’t know how miserably that little bitch cried at that time! In short, we from Sky City, and the Girl of Destiny are completely incompatible. If the Girl of Destiny grows up and even controls the power of the church, it will be a huge threat to us. So, you can rest assured that we will not help the Girl of Destiny. We wish she would die sooner! In this respect, we have the same goal as you!!"

Lisa shouted a little hysterically.

The once glorious and elegant figure no longer existed, leaving only a wolfish figure struggling to survive.

However, Lisa’s words seemed to be quite effective.

The black-haired girl slowly loosened her grip on Lisa’s neck and pushed her to the ground with one buttock.

"It seems so. That Mr. Kadispan did tell me a lot about your ’merits and achievements’."

Hearing this, Lisa, covered in bloodstains, did not care about cleanliness. She knelt on the ground and looked up like a fawning dog, flattering Yumo:

"Yes! So, do you believe me now?! I would never join forces with the Girl of Destiny!

"Hmmm, about this..."

"?_?"

Seeing that the black-haired girl did not immediately give an answer, thinking that she still had doubts, Lisa quickly continued:

"You… you don’t need to worry! Even if the Girl of Destiny has set up an ambush there, we will help you fight against her. Moreover, when she was in Sky City, I had someone carefully study and examine her body, and I know her weaknesses like the back of my hand. If I tell you these weaknesses, even if the Girl of Destiny has the power of the goddess, you don’t need to worry at all!"

Facing Lisa’s continuous flattery, Yumo just blinked her eyes calmly, and her expression did not reveal any fluctuations.

However, Yumo did not directly give Lisa an answer. Instead, she glanced at the uneasy church crowd not far away and curiously asked:

"You should know that by doing this, you are completely betraying human society."

"We, the Sky City, have never been the same as them, so how can it be called betrayal."

"Then what do you want to exchange for telling me these weaknesses of the Girl of Destiny?"

"Exchange for what? I dare not ask for anything..."

Lisa quickly shook her head in fear.

"I only hope that Miss Bloody Butterfly can give us a chance, so that we can serve you like the Black Rose family in the future. Our technology level in Sky City is far superior to that of other forces, and we will not be worse than Black Rose family."

However, before Lisa finished speaking, she felt a cold and slightly warning gaze from the black-haired girl.

"Don’t compare your Sky City with those children of Black Rose..."

"Ah? Sorry..."

Although Lisa didn’t understand why it was not allowed to compare the traitors of human society with each other, she would not be foolish enough to argue with Bloody Butterfly. So, she quickly closed her mouth and lowered her head in fear.

"But, the torture of the Girl of Destiny? And... the understanding of her weaknesses? You have done well in this regard."

"Huh?!"

Upon hearing this, Lisa was overjoyed.

Bloody Butterfly said so, obviously acknowledging her actions and showing interest in her knowledge of the Girl of Destiny’s weaknesses!

Looking up at Bloody Butterfly’s face, Lisa said gratefully:

"Thank you for your praise!"

"Since you have done so well, should I give you some rewards?"

Yumo raised her hand and rested it on her chin, putting on a thoughtful expression.

After a moment of thought, the black-haired girl’s eyes lit up, and she happily snapped her fingers.

"I’ve got it, why don’t we treat you as our number one ’guest’ and entertain you?"

"Entertainment?"

"Yes, with our abyssal demons’ unique way of entertainment~"

As the words fell, Yumo’s scarlet eyes narrowed slightly, and a bone-chilling cold rushed out. Feeling the coldness in her eyes, Lisa, who had just relaxed, suddenly tensed up again.

"Wait, wait, Miss Bloody Butterfly, what are you going to do?!!"

However, before Lisa could react to the situation, even before she could finish her words, a short sword made of scarlet energy appeared beside her and instantly pierced through her body...

At the same time, dozens of terrifying abyssal demons, under Yumo’s consciousness control, drooled and slowly surrounded her...
