"That's it. Only two badges left. Miss Merlin, thank you for being my bait. You can go back now."

　After briefly glancing at what Barudo had dropped, Lin Qi turned his attention to Merlin, who was still trembling on the ground as before. With a teasing tone, he took out the Dark Bible and put her directly into his contract space.

That's right, Lynch and Merlin signed a dark pact! Merlin was placed on the ground by Lynch as bait because of the pact.

Lin Qi originally planned to kill Mei Lin after the rape, but during the rape, he found it unexpectedly exciting. The reason was simple: Mei Lin kept struggling, resisting, and cursing, which mentally stimulated Lin Qi, giving him more satisfaction and a sense of conquest. Moreover, perhaps because Mei Lin was an assassin, her body was incredibly flexible, and she could perform all sorts of difficult positions, such as the bridge position, the splits, and the flying position. Lin Qi spent the whole night trying out new positions!

Afterwards, Lynch suddenly had the idea to try to initiate a dark pact with Merlin, and to his surprise, it succeeded on the first try. Clearly, Lynch, who possessed the Dark Bible that had been unsealed twice, had completely surpassed Merlin in charm and intelligence.

After Merlin became Lynch's contracted creature, her novice badge dropped immediately, indicating that she was considered dead.

Lynch's role as Merlin was quite clear: don't expect much in terms of combat power, it would be good enough if she didn't betray him. However, it would be fun to change things up occasionally and force her into something! In addition, Merlin also has the attribute of being an adorable maid!

"I didn't expect that before I could get Maya, who has the big sister attribute, I would pick up Merlin, who has the compulsive attribute. Speaking of which, the flexibility of assassins is really something else. If I go back now, the battle of the Fourth Fortress will be almost over. I wonder if there will be any chance left."

After retrieving Merlin, Lin Qi sighed and headed back towards the Fourth Fortress. Lin Qi had not forgotten his original goal in coming to the Fourth Fortress. Whether considering combat strength or attributes, Maya was an excellent candidate for a contract.

Many people may misunderstand Maya, thinking that she was not a virgin, but in fact she was. The fact that she didn't bleed during her first time in the original story does not mean that she was not a virgin. I don't need to explain that further.

--

"Boss, those two got away. That orange-haired girl is incredibly strong, she's like a human tank, no one can stop her. She can even knock a crossbow bolt off course with one punch!"

Meanwhile, the battle at the Fourth Fortress had also come to a complete end. The Black Beast Mercenary Group's original gatekeepers, looking dejected, embarrassed, and shocked, reported the latest news to Bolt. The Fourth Fortress had been completely surrounded, the Free Mercenary Group had been annihilated, and Maya was supposed to be captured alive. However, no one expected that Finian, who had previously made a detour, would return in time, forcefully charge into the enemy lines, and rescue the injured Maya.

"Alright, let's clean up the battlefield. Next, we need to stabilize the five fortresses we've already captured and see what tricks General Glev is up to."

Bolt was not satisfied with the outcome. Not only did Maya escape, but the three people who had tried to stop him had also disappeared. However, Bolt never regretted what he had already missed, and now he only focused on the immediate benefits.

Chapter 17 71

"Finian, your wound..."

In the vast jungle outside the fortress, Finian, covered in blood, was carrying Maya and moving quickly. Along the way, apart from the giant trees, all the other small bushes and twigs were forcibly crushed by Finian.

On Finian's abdomen was a huge, bloody hole pierced by a crossbow bolt, and one of her arms was also strangely twisted into three pieces. These were the two most serious wounds she had sustained during her forced breakout.

Maya, who was on Finian's shoulder, was clearly in bad shape as well. Her face was pale and she had dozens of wounds of varying sizes all over her body. Although they were not as exaggerated as Finian's, they were still numerous. A significant portion of the blood on Finian's body came from Maya.

However, Maya, whose face was deathly pale, suddenly noticed that the hideous wound on Finian's abdomen was actually wriggling and healing rapidly!

This is not a normal ability! At least the Maya had never seen any race with such a fast healing speed!

“My body is different from others. As long as it’s not a fatal wound, the wound will heal automatically. However, fractures are a bit troublesome. My bones won’t automatically go back to their original position. I need to find Barudo and Merlin to help me set them. Where are they?”

Finian waved her hand dismissively. She had been a test subject in a laboratory, gaining not only immense strength but also unparalleled regenerative abilities. Therefore, this injury was nothing to Finian. The only problem was her arm, which was fractured from blocking the crossbow bolt during her final escape. She herself did not have the ability to set bones, so she immediately thought of Bardo and Merlin.

“Merlin hasn’t shown up since last night, Barudo… I saw him break through and escape alone…”

When Barudo and Merlin were mentioned, Maya's expression turned strange. Merlin was alright, she was just missing, but Barudo's desertion made Maya feel disheartened. If Barudo had assisted in the attack, the Black Beast Mercenary Group would have paid a much higher price!

"Bardo left first, right? That's good. Let's go find Bardo first. Once we find Bardo, things will be easier. The three of us are all relying on him to make decisions."

Finian didn't notice anything unusual about Maya at all. Instead, she immediately prepared to go find Baruto. She never liked to use her brain, and Baruto was always in charge of all the planning and command.

"Do you know where he went?"

"Um... I don't know either..."

Maya didn't refuse. Right now, all the fortresses of the Seven Shields Alliance had been lost, and she didn't know what to do. However, when Maya asked a question casually, Finian gave her an answer that left her speechless. She didn't even know where to find Bardo!

Before the operation, Barudo never expected that everyone would get separated, nor did he expect that they would be defeated so quickly, so much so that he didn't even have time to deploy a retreat plan.

"Huh? Lady Kaguya!"

However, just when Maya and Finian were at their wits' end, Kaguya, dressed in witch's attire, suddenly appeared in front of them. Maya was overjoyed, never expecting to encounter Kaguya here!

“Maya, it’s so good to see you here. Come to me quickly.”

Kaguya maintained a zombie-like expression until she waved to Maya and Finnian.

“Pinian, the goddess has ordered you to return to the Seventh Fortress with us. Bardo is already on his way back.”

"That's good."

To Maya's surprise, Kaguya spoke to Finian first, revealing information about Baldo. Only then did Maya realize that the Finian trio were actually subordinates of the Supreme Goddess! Finian breathed a sigh of relief after hearing about Baldo.

"This is a secret healing medicine of our priestess clan. It can speed up wound healing and relieve pain."

Kaguya glanced at Finian's injuries, then took out a dark-looking potion from her pocket and handed it to Finian. Finian, without any guile, took the potion and drank it down in one gulp.

"Lord Kaguya, is it true that you are with Princess Alicia Prim?"

Feeling ignored, Maya finally got a chance to speak. She immediately asked the question she cared about most: rumors had been circulating in the alliance that all the fortress commanders had disappeared in the fortress that Bolt had captured. Some said that the Supreme Goddess had saved them, others said that the two princesses had escaped under the protection of assassins, and still others said that the Dark Queen had saved them. In short, there were many different opinions. The only thing that was certain was that Kaguya had indeed been rescued by the two princesses.

"That's right, it was the Supreme Goddess who saved us. Not only us, but also some other elite warriors were with us. General Glev has assembled the troops, and we are about to launch a major counterattack."

Kaguya nodded, giving an affirmative answer, and attributed all the credit to the Elf Goddess, also giving Maya a boost of confidence.

"Great! Bolt was lying after all! Huh?! Finian! What's wrong?"

As expected, Maya perked up immediately upon hearing that a counterattack was about to begin, and concluded that Bolt's previous words were all false. However, at this moment, Finian suddenly turned pale and collapsed. His wound, which was originally healing, turned grayish-white and not only stopped healing but also began to rot!

At this moment, Kaguya coldly addressed Ma and Finian, saying, "The goddess has issued an arrest warrant. Bardo, Finian, and Merlin are to be executed. They betrayed the alliance, and the Fourth Fortress was captured because of Merlin's betrayal."

"what?!"

Maya exclaimed in surprise, but then she thought about it and realized that it was indeed possible. If Merlin hadn't fired the first shot, their operation last night wouldn't have ended so badly.

However, what Kaguya said next stunned Maya.

"This is the goddess's decree, Captain Maya. Please carry out this mission."

Kaguya, still expressionless, took out a dark contract covered in peculiar writing that Maya couldn't decipher at all. She showed it to her briefly before putting it away, then turned her gaze to Finian with a stern face.

"me……"

Maya's face turned pale. She had never suspected that Kaguya would deceive her in the name of a goddess. She hesitated for a long time but couldn't bring herself to do it. After all, Finian had genuinely saved Maya twice. How could Maya, who was eager for revenge, possibly do it?

Just when Maya couldn't bring herself to do it, Lin Qi suddenly stepped forward.

"If you can't do it, then let me do it."

Chapter 18, pages 72-9

"If you can't do it, then let me do it."

Maya was completely taken aback by this sudden change. If it were anyone else, it wouldn't have mattered, since it was Kaguya who spoke. The edict in Kaguya's hand, which Maya couldn't understand at all, did indeed look like it was written by a goddess. Killing her would have been fine, but Maya wasn't a soft-hearted person. To have come this far and become the mercenary closest to becoming the King of Mercenaries, Maya was also an exceptionally decisive and ruthless person.

However, this was the second time Finian had saved her, and Maya really couldn't bring herself to harm her savior.

Just as Maya was hesitating, Lynch suddenly stepped out of the shadows, his dagger flashing as he approached Finian.

"who are you?"

Maya immediately became alert. Lin Qi felt very familiar to her, as if she had seen him somewhere before, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him before.

"An insignificant nobody in the Seven Shields Alliance."

Lin Qi casually offered an explanation, then immediately launched Shadow Strike. Before Maya could stop him, Lin Qi had already plunged the dagger into Finian's heart, whispering in her ear, "Sorry, I hate cross-dressers, regardless of whether you have a big dick or not."

"you……"

Maya was about to rush forward, but Kaguya blocked her way first. Only then did Maya remember that Kaguya had said it was the goddess's order.

"Voodoo Curse: Seals power and magic for one minute, worsens wounds by 200%! (MISSING) Requires oral voodoo potion to take effect."

Lynch was able to easily kill Finney thanks to Kaguya's potion.

Kaguya's profession is a shrine maiden, which is quite similar to the Gu poison user of Shenmuhaza. However, Shenmuhaza relies on Gu insects, while Kaguya's shrine maiden relies on curses. The curses she casts through rituals or potions are extremely powerful and ignore the restrictions of rank. However, the restrictions are also obvious. Take the voodoo curse for example. If Finian hadn't drunk that potion first, the voodoo curse would not have worked. A normal person would never drink that potion that smelled strange and looked like poison.

After Finian died, in addition to the novice badge, he unexpectedly gave Lin Qi an item he had once obtained, which made Lin Qi happy: a blood-red syringe.

"Unfinished Power-Type Primary Blacklight Virus: Permanently increases base strength by 500%! (MISSING) Random attribute increases by 20. Non-fatal wounds have a self-healing effect, the self-healing effect depends on the severity of the injury."

The Blacklight Virus has reappeared. The last Blacklight Virus emerged from Akizuki Kozo, and it was a mutated, low-level Blacklight Virus that only increased luck by 20 points. Lin Qi has always claimed it was overrated, but the Blood Transformation skill is truly useful in certain special situations…

This time, the name of the Blacklight Virus is Ice Flower again, with two additional prefixes: one for "incomplete" and the other for "power type." Although it is still the initial Blacklight Virus, the increased attributes are undoubtedly several times stronger. Lin Qi's talent for the power attribute is a maximum of 10 points, 500%! (MISSING) This is equivalent to an increase of 50 points! The random attribute is 20 points, but it is the same as before, and the self-healing effect is also incredibly strong.

At the same time, Lin Qi finally came to his senses. Finian had previously been a lab rat, and it was very likely that she had conducted early experiments on the Blacklight Virus. Although her experiments were not completely successful, they were undoubtedly powerful enough.

Lin Qi immediately used the Blacklight Virus syringe on himself, instantly increasing his strength by 50 points and agility by 20 points. This time, the randomly obtained attributes were much more reliable.

"Which virus is the strongest?"

This made Lin Qi sigh and say, "Blacklight is the best choice for a virus."

"Captain Maya, if I may be so bold as to ask, are you still a virgin? Please don't get agitated. I'm asking on behalf of the passengers behind me—oh no, I mean the Supreme Goddess. This question is very important to you and to the Seven Shields Alliance. Please be sure to tell the truth."

Feeling the real increase in power, Lin Qi turned around and looked at Maya with a serious expression. Maya was still looking at Finian's corpse with a sad expression. Only then did she suddenly come to her senses and stare at Lin Qi angrily. Indeed, Lin Qi's question was really too much for a woman.

However, before Maya could lash out, Lin Qi spoke first, using the name of the Supreme Goddess and the Alliance as his shield, and his expression remained extremely serious.

"Yes!"

Maya's expression changed repeatedly, and she almost attacked Lin Qi. She subconsciously turned her gaze to Kaguya. Of all those present, she only trusted Kaguya. Kaguya said nothing, only nodding at Maya with her expressionless face unchanged.

Maya's heart sank. The fact that Kaguya could completely acquiesce to Lin Qi's actions and obey his every command meant that Lin Qi's identity was not simple!

With this mindset, Maya nodded heavily, her angry face flushed with embarrassment.

"Commander Maya, I'm not questioning you, but your answer will determine the entire future of the alliance. So I have to ask you one last time: are you really still a virgin? Please don't lie for the sake of face, or countless people will lose their lives because of it."

"Have you had enough?! I am! Absolutely a virgin!"

Maya's answer immediately made Lin Qi's expression even more serious. He emphasized the importance of the question repeatedly and asked it again.

Maya was about to explode, glaring fiercely at Lin Qi, and said with certainty the words that made her feel ashamed.

"That's good. Please sign this contract, and then I will take you to see the Supreme Goddess."

Upon receiving this affirmative answer, Lin Qi immediately revealed a relieved smile, and then, still with an upright expression, handed the Dark Contract to Maya in the form of a written document.

As soon as Maya saw the Dark Contract, she immediately felt it looked familiar. This contract was too similar to the Goddess's Decree that Kaguya had just taken out. And as soon as Maya took the Dark Contract, the inexplicable text on it suddenly turned into text that she could understand.

"There's a problem with the contract..."
