This necromancer is going to seduce the beautiful girls who are already dead.

As a result, a few days later, something terrible happened.

During one dinner, the waitress added something strange to the food of the boss, the newly hired chef, and their apprentices. The stuff was eaten by the boss and chefs who were unaware of the truth, and it immediately attached itself to their stomachs.

The waitress then told the boss and the chef her purpose.

This hotel had to become a "high-end" hotel, and it had to be approved by all the guests. The owner and chefs were initially puzzled and naturally had no intention of compromising with this lunatic. At this point, the waitress activated the strange thing that had been attached to their stomachs.

The thing caused extreme pain to the stomachs and hearts of the boss and the two chefs. The unbearable pain made the three of them scream in agony. In that terrible pain, they fainted again and again, only to be awakened by the pain again and again. It was a torture more severe than any punishment that humans could create at present.

After the owners and chefs experienced her prowess firsthand, the waitress became the de facto ruler of the hotel.

From then on, the boss and the chefs dared not disobey in the slightest. The chefs and apprentices were originally just ordinary cooks, but because they had to make dishes that could be called high-end, or they would be tortured, their culinary skills improved by leaps and bounds within two years, and they really became very skilled culinary masters.

The owner was forced to upgrade the hotel again and again with all his savings and all the money he earned afterward. He devoted all his time to entertaining "high-end" guests and maintaining the hotel's cleanliness. If the hotel became even slightly dirty, inhuman torture would begin that night, leaving the owner unable to live or die.

In addition, the boss and chefs have to constantly meet various targets and cannot tell anyone this secret.

The three of them lived in this torment for six years until today. For some reason, the waitress told the boss to run as far away from the town as possible without stopping. After running three kilometers, the boss's old body could no longer hold on, which made him feel desperate and he decided to give up his chance to live.

But luckily, he met Rebecca and the others.

Thanks to the combined surgical skills of Sophia and Agnes, the boss's stomach was removed intact without endangering his life. Inside his stomach, the girls discovered a terrifying black worm—the very thing that had been watching over, controlling, and tormenting him.

So now, Rebecca no longer needs to worry about her boss's safety and can engage in a real battle with the evil god puppet in front of her.

“I’m going to kill you and hang your head on the wall of my room…” the waitress whispered as she approached Rebecca.

As she walked, swarms of black worms suddenly emerged from the ground and crawled toward Rebecca.

Chapter 357 The Weakness of the Waitress

Rebecca did not back down. She knew she couldn't run away. If she did, the evil god puppet would likely attack Abyss and Flora directly.

"Try this." Rebecca twisted open the bottle in her hand and took a big gulp.

This was a magic-enhancing potion personally concocted by Rebecca. It took effect even before reaching her stomach, instantly saturating Rebecca's magical core with compressed magic.

A large amount of excess magic power that her body could not contain was released from Rebecca's limbs in the form of magical lightning. Her eyes also shone with a bright blue light, and she floated naturally in the air. A powerful and intimidating aura emanated from her body.

The soundproof barrier she had just maintained was now strengthened due to her greatly increased power. Even though Rebecca's entire body was now surrounded by blue lightning, shining as brightly as the moon in the sky, it would not disturb anyone in the town except for her and the waitress.

Rebecca wasn't good at magic; her magic consisted of specialized skills she had learned for alchemy. But that wasn't a problem, because Rebecca planned to use those spells to try and kill the waitress in front of her.

The waitress suddenly stopped in her tracks—Rebecca held her hand and cast a freezing spell on her.

Ice crystals quickly spread from the ground to the waitress's legs, and in the blink of an eye, they covered her entire body, freezing even the black worms that had been crawling toward Rebecca.

"Try this." Rebecca quickly pulled a small bottle of potion from her waist, placed it in her palm, and then unleashed a magical shockwave at the ground.

Snapped!

The bottle was instantly shattered into dust, and the potion inside turned into a thick mist that sprinkled onto the worms on the ground.

Rebecca had no intention of destroying the enemy's body. The Abyss's many battles with the evil god's puppet had already taught Rebecca that physical attacks were completely ineffective against these guys.

This potion was something Rebecca had prepared beforehand and always carried with her to defend against the evil god's puppet—it contained a portion of the nine gods' divine power, which would be released in the form of holy light.

The worms sprayed with the potion began to glow with bright golden light. As the golden light flashed, the worms' bodies were severely damaged and quickly dissolved. Even the black mud wrapped around the waitress was dispelled by the holy light spell.

Holy Light is still effective.

However, Rebecca's victory did not last long.

The worms on the ground were wiped out, but the waitress frozen inside did not lose her vitality due to the Holy Light spell: streams of black mud rapidly gushed out from the orifices of her body. This black mud did not lose its activity due to freezing; it devoured the ice blocks at minus eighty degrees Celsius like earthworms digging burrows, then gnawed the ice covering the waitress through the ice, leaving it riddled with holes, and it fell to the ground with a crackling sound.

This time, the worms didn't just crawl towards Rebecca; they began to scatter, aiming to cover the entire town.

“They can regenerate… Ice magic is useless… They might gnaw through my barrier.”

Rebecca remained calm. After a moment's thought, she unleashed another magical shockwave at the ground.

The shockwave wasn't very destructive; it simply lifted all the floorboards in the yard out of the ground, and the worms crawling on the ground were temporarily airborne due to the tremor.

Then, Rebecca used magic to gather the worms back together, preventing them from crawling in all directions.

To stop this waitress, we must address her problem at its root.

Rebecca used magic to buy herself as much time as possible, but as more and more black worms crawled out of the waitress's body, Rebecca knew that the time she could buy was getting shorter and shorter.

We must find a way to break through the obsession of this evil god puppet!

Kerala...

The ice that had sealed the waitress was beginning to break down as the worms gnawed at her, and the waitress's body gradually regained its mobility.

Her head moved slowly within the ice, shattering ice crystals on the ground, while her blood-red eyes gazed at Rebecca with intense longing.

"I want to hang your beautiful head... on the wall of my room..."

She growled hoarsely, her limbs moving with a sickening crunching sound as she continued toward Rebecca.

"Thank you for the compliment, but hanging my head on the wall is out of the question. I don't like being stared at rudely," Rebecca replied casually, continuing to think of a way to respond.

She focused her gaze on the waitress's face and simply looked at her features.

Generally speaking, no one would scrutinize their opponent's appearance during a life-or-death duel, but Rebecca did just that. If a seasoned warrior saw this, he might scoff and laugh at Rebecca's foolishness.

"Die..." The waitress had moved to Rebecca's side, and without hesitation, she swung the sharp scythe in her hand, which was faintly gleaming with some strange light, toward Rebecca's neck.

Rebecca quickly dodged, then her gaze suddenly sharpened.

The waitress's facial features... why do I feel like I'm familiar with them?

Searching her memory for that familiar feeling, the face of a familiar person came to mind for Rebecca.

Gylvia!

Yes! Gylvia! Gylvia's appearance is very typical and beautiful of an Ossi woman, and the waitress's features are also very characteristic of Ossi people.

Just think about what this waitress's purpose is tonight...

Hanging human heads on the walls as exhibits is a custom of the Ossi people! They have always been called barbarians and still retain the custom of taking the heads of their enemies as trophies—even the bowls used to drink blood at the king's coronation ceremony are made of human skulls.

So... in the minds of the Ossi people, what is considered "high-end" and what is considered "low-end"?

Although the Ossi were called barbarians, they were influenced by the strong cultural output of the Western Empire due to their proximity to it. Many of their ideas were similar to those of the Western Empire, and most of their standards for judging social status were also similar to those of the Western Empire.

However, differences still exist!

“You’ll never be able to build a high-class hotel, Miss!” Rebecca suddenly shouted, her voice amplified by magic, making it deafeningly loud to the waitress.

The waitress's anger instantly overshadowed her greed, and she charged at Rebecca, who had ducked to the side.

“You have never achieved any merit on the battlefield! What glory can a person without merit have? A hotel without glory, no matter how magnificent, is just a low-class hotel! Not to mention that you have already come to the Western Empire, and you will no longer be accepted by the Ossi people, so you will never realize your wish!”

Rebecca dodged backward again, continuing to speak loudly without stopping.

Right after she finished speaking, the waitress suddenly stopped moving.

Chapter 358 Problem Solving

The waitress stood there, completely oblivious to the fact that Rebecca was standing right in front of her.

Rebecca breathed a sigh of relief. Although she had only said those words on a whim, it seemed that her words had indeed worked.

“I… will never be able to build a high-end hotel…” The waitress stood there, slowly uttering these words.

Rebecca pressed her advantage: "Yes, no matter what you try, your hotel can never be high-class. What good are a few heads hanging on the wall if there's no honor of war to display? You're just a murderer..."

Having spent so much time with the Abyss, Rebecca has also learned the Abyss's almost scathing way of speaking when facing enemies; every word she utters is like a knife to the heart.

"No...no...this is impossible!" The waitress's eyes widened at Rebecca again as she charged towards her.

"Are you still trying to hypnotize yourself? Give up!" Rebecca unleashed a magical shockwave at the waitress, instantly shattering her body into pieces. "What part of what I said was wrong? I didn't tell a single lie! You're an Ossi, aren't you! You've forgotten all the honor of the Ossi, haven't you?"

"No!!!" The waitress's body had not yet fully recovered when a desperate scream came from her mouth.

As the waitress's shattered body slowly returned to its original state, large amounts of black sludge began to gush out from the cracks in her body. This black sludge quickly evaporated, turning into wisps of black steam that dissipated into the sky.

Whoohoo!

But things didn't continue as they should. Suddenly, a strong wind arose in the sky above, and the black steam that was originally scattering was gathered into a single stream by a powerful whirlwind and floated straight up into the sky. At the same time, a spatial rift opened up in the sky, and a powerful force surged out, sweeping away all the black steam.

"Phew...good coordination."

Rebecca smiled at the sky.

The girls who chased after her to the outskirts of the city were not idle during this time. After learning that Rebecca was already fighting the evil god puppet one-on-one, they were already prepared to deal with the power of the Lord of Delusion emanating from the evil god puppet after Rebecca won.

Therefore, Agnes was responsible for using the wind to gather the scattered power of the Lord of Delusion, while Sophia was responsible for opening a spatial rift in mid-air to draw out a portion of the power of the Lord of Bullying.

The Lord of Bullying's power is extremely domineering. When it touched the Lord of Delusion's divine power, it destroyed it completely. Now, even if some of the power can return to the Lord of Delusion, it is only a very small portion.

At this moment, Rebecca's magic power gradually dissipated. Maintaining the barrier that could completely conceal the battle between the two was very energy-consuming, and the magic power stored in Rebecca's potion was not enough to maintain the barrier for too long.

She landed on the ground and walked over to the waitress who was lying on the ground.

The waitress was now covered in wounds and cracks—she hadn't fully recovered after Rebecca shattered her body with magic, and the power of the Lord of Delusion had already slipped away from her.

"Cough...cough..." The waitress coughed weakly, spitting out a mouthful of blood, but her blood was now crimson instead of the pitch-black blood of the puppet of the Lord of Delusions.

"Drink it." Rebecca took out a small bottle from her waist, unscrewed the cap, and fed it directly to the waitress.

The waitress hesitated for a moment before drinking the potion that Rebecca fed her.

Before long, the waitress's panting, which had been like a broken bellows, gradually subsided. The healing potion had first healed her internal injuries with remarkable speed, and then began to gradually repair the damage to her muscles and bones.

"We're back!" Leona rushed back to Rebecca's side, looking at her with concern. "How are you? Did you get hurt in the battle with the evil god's puppet?"

“The problem was solved with knowledge.” Rebecca smiled and turned around, looking at Leona and the other girls rushing towards them, tapping her head with her finger. “She’s easier to deal with than I thought.”

"What...what have I been doing all these years..." The waitress's eyes were filled with confusion. She still retained the memories of those years, which made her feel lost for a moment.

“Your obsession has been exploited by an extraterrestrial evil god, who has turned you into a monster who will stop at nothing to achieve his obsession,” Rebecca told her. “Lie here for a while; we need to restore this place to its original state. In a little while, we will resolve everything here.”

Rebecca was right. Although Rebecca had limited her fighting range to the barrier—that is, the size of this courtyard—the powerful magic still caused a huge mess in the vicinity. Fortunately, Agnes had arrived, otherwise the acrid smell of things being burned by the magic would have made Flora, who was inside the house, feel uneasy.

The ground had been completely blown up, and the courtyard walls, even the beautiful fountain statue inside, were utterly destroyed. Agnes used nature magic to restore everything to its original state, while Rebecca used potions to repair the walls and the statue back to their original condition.

The shopkeeper slowly returned at this time. He had followed the girls back to town, but since the girls were still unsure if the situation was safe, they asked the shopkeeper to wait outside for a while.
