âThat would be enough.â Maximilia said and took a deep breath. She raised her sword and entered the
formation again.
Although she was Maximilia at the time, she was Jade in all but looks. She was resolute and refused to
be sluggish for the slightest second. With a blade in each hand, she rushed in, slashing every single
demon as harshly as she could.
âAhhh!!! Why would there be a formation here? How could the strategistâs formation be used against
his own people?â
âThat scholar⦠That scholar is a formation master! Kill him, kill him!â
The demons started yelling in rage, but they couldnât do anything now that they were within the
formation. Restricted, their fighting skills were obsolete. They could only watch as Maximilia sliced
them up.
âYouâre dead, humans!â
âEvery human who trespasses into Kroraina has to die!â
As the demons shrieked, the golden phoenix scorpion continued hitting the boundary with its body as if
it had gone crazy.
Since Astor needed the eggs of this scorpion, Maximilia didnât kill it just yet. She waited till every single
demon had been dealt with to handle it.
Astor
Alex
Unexpectedly, the scorpion seemed pregnant. Several minutes later, it stopped and laid flat on the
ground before laying its eggs.
Astor found it ridiculous. âI didnât expect us to get the eggs so easily.â
Astor
Alex
Maximilia rolled her eyes. âEasy? Do you know how many times I almost died?â
After a slight pause, she continued, âThe scorpion is at its weakest right after giving birth. Letâs kill it
when itâs in this state!â
She rushed over, only to see the scorpion lifting its tail into the air.
âBe careful!â Astor yelled.
Astor
Alex
Whoosh!
The tail shot out a poison sting. It landed on the back of Maximiliaâs thigh, rather near to her butt. The
woman was badly injured, but she continued attacking relentlessly, knowing she needed to kill that
scorpion. In the end, she chopped off its head while enduring the intense pain.
With this, the fight had finally ended. However, Maximilia fell to the ground as well, her thigh red and
swollen.
Astor rushed over. âThe poison of a golden phoenix scorpion is always changing, and each one has
different properties. You have to get the stinger out.â
Astor
Alex
Maximilia wanted to do that as well, but even the slightest touch was excruciating. Yet the poison
spread quickly, heading towards the heart through her bloodstreams.
âWe canât delay it any longer. Just let me have a look!â Astor said and took off her pants.
Astor
Alex
Since they had hugged each other naked to warm up in a dark place, he thought that treating her
poisoned wound wouldnât be a problem at all. Astor made a small slit in Maximiliaâs thigh a few minutes
later and successfully took the stinger out. About the poison⦠Astor figured that something within the
scorpion could be used as a cure.

Astor
Alex
Just as he was dissecting the scorpion, Maximilia hugged him tightly from behind. Her expression was
weird, and her cheeks were bright red. Moreover, her entire body felt very warm, and her eyes filled
with sheer desire.
Astor jumped. âWhatâs wrong, Maximilia?â
Astor
Alex
Krrra!
She tore off her top and stumbled over her words. âI want to do it with you!â
âWhat?!â Astor froze and instantly understood what was going on.
Astor
Alex
The poison that the scorpion released was rather peculiar, it could enhance a womanâs sexual desires.
âWas it because the scorpion was pregnant?â
Astor immediately looked for a cure, yet Maximilia pinned him down to the ground. His current self
couldnât possibly defend himself against the woman, so she was able to get on top of him very easily.
Astor
Alex
âHey, Maximilia! Donât! Youâre Jade!â
âReally? Now? But I am Maximilia here!â
