Eustaceâs expressions darkened the moment he heard that.
âWhat did you say?â
âYou wonât sign? So youâre saying you want to serve that piece of garbage like Lorelei, huh? Are you
going to betray me?â
Edgar released his aura, malicious intent so overpowering that it felt like a large boulder. After that, he
swung his palm and slapped her.
Edgar
He
However, Lila seemed to have expected this. She leaped from the ground and dodged Eustaceâs
attack.
âI donât want to be the slave of someone. I enjoy freedom! Young Lord, I served you because her
highness requested I support you for three thousand years! Three thousand years have passed, but
youâre forcing me to sign a soul contract now?â
âIâm truly sorry. I simply canât agree with this!â she said before running off to the west.
âHmph! Do you really think you can be free after three thousand years?â Eustace lunged towards her
with a cold sneer.
Three thousand years ago, Eustace was no match for Lila at all.
Now that it had passed, his cultivation level had long exceeded hers-his powers even more apparent
when he attacked her out of anger. As the sword came slamming down, Lila had to block his attack
while escaping.
Ding!
Lila used a sword as well, but it instantly broke in half.
Pshhh!
Lilaâs entire arm was cut off just like that. The difference in strength between the two was evident.
âLila, Iâm giving you another chance. Will you sign the contract or not?â Eustace asked with a chilling
expression.
âWithout freedom, Iâd rather die!â Lila said, determined. âlâm beginning to regret listening to her
highness, supporting someone like you. Maybe Big Sis made the right choice. You donât deserve to be
the seed.â
âIâll kill you!â
Eustace was even more intent to kill, his sword glistening in the light as he brandished it. It looked like it
was falling from the skies as it slashed towards Lilaâs neck.
Lila knew that she wouldnât be escaping death. She simply closed her eyes and awaited her fate.
Clang!
Aloud clunk filled the air. It appeared Eustaceâs sword didnât land on Lilaâs neck.
It wasnât because he wanted to show mercy all of a sudden, but two of Lilaâs sisters had come to her
aid, blocking his deadly attack.
âResha Jamison, Cordelia Wilde, are you two trying to go against me too?â Eustace demanded, glaring
at the women with sheer rage.
Cordelia said, âYoung Lord, Seventh Sis may be wrong, but she had served you for three thousand
years. Please spare her, especially since she has done so much for you.â
Eustace yelled. âShe betrayed me, yet youâre asking me to forgive her?â
Resha replied. âSeventh Sis doesnât want to betray you, Young Lord. She just doesnât want to sign the
contract.â
âWhat about you two, then?â
âWe⦠Wonât sign it either.â
âThen you should all go to hell!â
Eustace was even angrier at this point, swinging his sword once more.
Boom!
The ground started shaking.
After all, the sword was very strong, it could destroy the mountain on the other side. After a slash by a
weapon of such magnitude, it was obvious how a person wouldâve had ended.
âRun!â Cordelia shouted and brought out a secret weapon. Along with Resha, they helped Lila up and
picked up her broken arm, running off to a far distance.
âDo you think you can escape? I am the lord of this sanctuary!â
âCome to me, Umbrella of Destiny!â
The moment Eustace pulled out the umbrella, Lila and the others instantly knew they were in grave
danger. The mystical tool was extremely powerful, able to attack and defend. It was a gift from the God
of Destiny from ancient times to defeat the Undead clan.
Yet now, Eustace was using it to fight the women who had helped him for the past three thousand
years.
Boom!
