Crimson Overlord

In another location, sunlight streamed through the clouds and made the forest glow.

The gentle rays of sunlight peered their way through the big tent, illuminating it. Two beauties were sleeping on a big bed; even though their sleeping postures looked a little comical, it was still beautiful. The two were still sleeping, as though they were not planning to wake up soon.

Half an hour later, Xiao Qing’er woke up first, followed by Lilith. After cleaning themselves and finishing what they had to do, the two left their tents going forward.

Two hours after they left, a group of fifteen individuals dressed in black came; after checking and determining where Lilith was heading, they continued forward in the same direction.

✵✵✵

One and half hours earlier, while they were moving, Lilith knew they were being followed; she even knew that there were ten men ahead of them. They were lying there quietly, waiting for her. She chuckled before turning toward her Xiao Qing’er.

Since that discussion they had last night, the two have grown close to each other. She was someone not difficult to get along with. More importantly, she was interested in her master’s. The reason she gave was that there was something magical about Orpheus that drew you to him, she could not explain it, but the moment she saw him, she was captivated. Lilith knew it must be because of her master’s charm.

Xiao Qing’er could be used, and above everything else, she was talented. Lilith saw no harm in befriending such a girl as she would soon become a member of Blake’s family. Everything that her master could use must be cherished; hence, she didn’t want Xiao Qing’er to be swept into her problem; she had foreseen that they would come after her today or tomorrow after she killed their men. So, her concern was not letting Xiao Qing’er be roped in this storm.

Of course, the truth was that Xiao Qing’er would do more harm than good if she stayed. To put it more bluntly, she will be a burden. For this reason, Lilith had thus decided to send her away.

Lilith suddenly stopped moving, startling Xiao Qing’er, who was behind her; before she could ask what was going on, Lilith took her left arm and put the bracelet on it.

This succession of actions left Xiao Qing’er speechless, so she decided to ask her new friend what all this meant. However, before she could open her mouth, Lilith was faster and talked first.

“I know you must be burning with questions regarding what I have just done. However, do not worry; it will be explained in due time. See you soon.”

What Lilith had said didn’t help quench her doubt; still, she knew that she would explain to her later.

”Okay, I understand.” Xiao Qing’er replied, not raising a further question; she was the patient type.

Immediately after that, the bracelet she wore shined brightly; a light covered her whole body. Xiao Qing’er was again startled; she finally knew this bracelet; it was a small distance teleportation bracelet(Maximum range: 50 kilometers). After the light that was covering her body disappeared, there was no more Xiao Qing’er present. She had vanished, teleported to another location.

Finally, Lilith took a deep breath; she smiled until one could see sharp white canines. If one watches her closely enough, one can notice that her beautiful red eyes shone dangerously, and the forest turned eerily quiet. A dangerous aura was being emitted from her body. She quickly concealed her aura before mumbling, ”Let’s start the hunt. Well, I wonder if they know who is the real hunter.”

After saying that, she vanished from where she stood and appeared one kilometer away; her speed was so fast, you could have mistaken it for teleportation. The constant gravity here didn’t seem to bother her. It was to be expected; this forest was her playground since she met her true master.

Lilith continued moving at a fast speed deeper into the Lost Forest after separating herself from Xiao Qing’er. She had one goal in mind, which was to finish off the two groups ahead of her before the remaining men came.

…

In another location, stood two groups of five men; naturally, they were the two squads directed by Lanoz and Vins. The ten men concealed themselves patiently, waiting for their prey. These ten men comprised five Peak Level 5 Tier, Three early Level 4, and finally, two middle Level 4 Origin masters. (Lanoz and Vins).

All of these men had a bored expression on their faces, as though, to them, this task was as simple as breathing. Truth be told, Lanoz and Vins even thought that, their leaders were exaggerating when they chose to send that amount of men to capture a kill a single girl. Moreover, this girl was only a weak level 4 origin master; maybe she’s middle-rank level 4 at best.

Still, to them, she wasn’t worth so many men. To them, she was a little prey, a little lamb to be slaughtered.

Suddenly, one of the early Level 4 says while chuckling.

”The prey is coming; she will be here in half of an hour. This chick is truly beautiful. I would mind tasting her, though.”

”Hahaha, you’re right, but I do not want to lose my head, nor do I want my family to be erased. The leaders have strictly prohibited us from touching them. Bals, Feel free to touch the prey if you want to die badly.” Another early Level 4 origin master replied.

”Damn you, Greg, I was joking,” Bals said while scratching his bald head.

The other laughed; even Lanoz and Vins laughed. However, they couldn’t hide their lust-ridden faces when they thought about the beautiful White-haired girl. They wanted to mess up with that cold face, to make her moan loudly. Too bad, the leader and vice-leader of the Bloody Hand have prohibited any of them from touching the girl.

Suddenly, there was a whooshing sound in the opposite direction, precisely where the five peak levels 5 were.

After that sound, there were other sounds.

Thud* Thud* Thud* Thud* Thud*

When Lanoz, Vins, and others turned around, they were horrified by what they saw. Five headless bodies were lying quietly on the ground, bathing in their own blood, and standing amidst these five corpses was a beautiful girl. No, she was slightly floating above the five corpses. This girl was dressed in a white robe reaching her knees; she wore short white stockings and white shoes; she had white hair and a pair of beautiful red eyes that sent a chill down to any that dared to look in her direction.

The white-haired girl was smiling while looking at them. It was a beautiful smile. Still, to those watching this smile, it doesn’t look beautiful at all. The remaining five men were thinking the same thing ‘This girl is a monster, there is no way in hell, she’s low level 4 origin master, not even them could slaughter five peak level 5 origin masters as she did.’

Their instincts were screaming to them to run away as far as they could or else they would be the next target. So, they forget their shame and decide to flee.

However, before they could even move, they heard Lilith’s voice.

”Why you’re in a hurry, dear preys, you should stay quietly like the meals you are, don’t make me work too much. Well, blood-filled with adrenaline always taste sweeter.”

She licked her dewy lips when she said, and afterward, she pouted. None of the remaining five men were in the mood to care about that gesture they would have considered lovely in a normal case. Each one of them chose to flee in a different direction.

Seeing this, Lilith smirked.

”Smart choice, but too bad you had met me.”

After saying that, she vanished from where she was and appeared behind an early Level 4 Origin master and swung her arm covered in blood origi towards the man’s head. The man turned immediately pale in fright; however, he quickly deployed a water barrier, clearly intending to stop Lilith’s hand blade. Unfortunately, it didn’t work as he intended because, in the next second, he was cleaved in two along with his water barrier.

Another one had died; Bals and Greg turned almost white when they saw what Lilith had done. They were doomed, so they charged at her; they wanted to blow themselves up to bring this monster down.

Sadly, after moving for a few steps, they became frozen in blood sculptures; Lilith had executed her Blood arts. Bals and Greg’s last thoughts were this monster was closer to level 3.

Meanwhile, Lanoz and Vins were moving forward fast; even without turning back with their senses, they saw what had happened. They shuddered, thinking about how naïve and wrong there were earlier. ‘What a joke, were the preys instead of her,’ they mumbled before moving forward; they were trying to meet up with the remaining men, but Lilith didn’t immediately chase after them. She stopped while smiling mysteriously.
