Chapter 274 - Camlia
Kana felt weak as she struggled to stand up. The young girl flashed and appeared by Kana's side and supported her. The young girl had two grey horns on her head and two thin black tails that came to a point like an arrow. Her hair was ashen grey, and her petite figure was wearing a gothic style black dress with white frills. "You must have exhausted a lot of your lifeforce to summon me… This is not good…"
The girl placed her hand over Kana's heart. A white glow appeared, and the weak feeling in Kana's body slowly began to subside. "Mmm… Good… Now then… Give me a bit of your blood."
The young girl stood on her tiptoes and wrapped her hands around Kana's neck. She opened her mouth, revealing two sharp fangs, and sunk them deep into Kana's neck. The young girl's eyes began to glow a deep red. Kana felt much better after the young girl filled her with some sort of energy. But now, she felt like she was being sucked dry. But she didn't try to throw the young girl off. She allowed the young girl to drink her blood.
"Mmm… You are very tasty. My name is Camlia. I am the queen of hell. You could say I am the keeper of all that is evil. But you… You have a good soul. I am fond of you, so I think I will stay for a while." Camlia smiled as she sent a blood red ball into Kana. The dry feeling after having her blood sucked completely disappeared. But at the same time, she felt a strange connection to Camlia, almost the same as she did with Naru and Aoi. But she did not receive any messages for anything from the system.

"Then Kana, we are now bound. We are what you could call soul sisters. From this moment on, you are I, Camlia's little sister." Camlia smiled brightly as she turned towards the man who was slowly backing away from the barrier of the magic circle. "Since when did a rat of the first floor of hell think he could reign free on the mortal world?"
"The devil realm was the first floor of hell?" Kana asked.
"Mmm… This fool here is just a little henchman." Camlia spat on the ground in disgust. She waved her hand, and the whole summoning circle disappeared. She then reached out her hand in front of her and motioned with her finger towards the Devil King. "Come here. Do not make me have to use force."
"Y-yes… My Queen!" The Devil King, who had been arrogant the entire time, lowered his head and obediently walked towards Camlia.
Camlia smiled and nodded her head: "Now that is a good boy. Your people one day showed up in my 18 floors of hell and took over my first floor. I saw that you had some decent strength, so I let you and your kind take over the first floor. But what was the one thing I told you back then?"
As the Devil King appeared in front of Camlia, he knelt down, still not raising his and in fact even lowered his head more as he answered: "Now that you are here, you can never leave."
"That is right, but what did you do!?" Camlia's red eyes glowed brightly as a massive pressure suddenly slammed into the Devil King, causing him to sink into the ground. "You broke the law, so you will now be punished. I just stripped away most of your power. You are now on par with my little sister here. You two will fight. If you can beat her, I will not punish you any further but… If you lose, you and your kind will cease to exist. So please do entertain me. You see, my little sister here is itching to stab you."
Camlia looked over at Kana, who was oozing bloodlust while she gripped her sword staring at the Devil King. She knew that Kana wished to take care of this man herself. Smiling gently at Kana, Camlia walked over to her and whispered: "Go all out. Skin him, burn him, melt him. Get your revenge. And… I apologize for not keeping better control of those under me."
"It's fine… You have given me a chance to take down the man who destroyed my home and killed the people of this land. I will be going all out right from the beginning" Kana grinned as the ground under her sunk and spider weblike cracks formed.

It seemed to have jumped many times than it was before. She watched as Kana's hands and feet transformed into dragon claws. She had wondered why she felt a kind of kinship to this girl. They both had an unstoppable will just like herself, otherwise, she would never have risen up to become queen of hell. She herself was the only one of her race. A breed all on its own, a mix of different bloodlines. In a way, you could call her a chimera. But the races she was created from were all ancient races. And their powers all stood at the peak of their era.
The Devil King, who had just regained his footing, feeling weak after his power had dropped, felt immense pressure from Kana. Her power had spiked far above his own and was close to being on par with his original power. He looked at Camlia and wondered how this was supposed to be a fair fight! But this was not Camlia's fault since she had no idea Kana could raise her power like this.
"Time to end this…"Kana roared. Her voice shattering the heavens itself. She took a step forward, and the whole planet shook.
*Boom!*
Camlia floated up into the air lazily lying on her side. She looked over at a certain spot and said: "Old Dan, come out. I know you are there. Do not make me drag you out."
"You damn old hag! How are you still alive after so many millions of years!?"
