Strength 99999 but the Holy Sister

"Yes... but the witch who created this magic died twenty years ago..." Grace pursed her lips, retracted her gaze, and looked at Elsa, "This person's soul has been swallowed by the abyss. There is no hope. Please free him..."

"Hold on."

As soon as she finished speaking, Grace felt her whole body sink. In the blink of an eye, her vision instantly zoomed from a distant distance to the front of the monster. Countless snowflakes were blown up by the strong wind and rolled towards the center of her vision.

Elsa held her waist with one hand and punched the monster's head with the other.

bang——

Thunder rumbled, and the snow and flying silver dust in the forest vanished in an instant. The monster's upper body vaporized in an instant, leaving only its lower half still pouncing. It fell to the ground with a plop, spurting black blood. Dead wood and fallen leaves were tossed like a tidal wave, and the visible shockwave continued to spread, pushing the trees in the forest to the brink of collapse.

The frozen black soil left a deep pit several feet wide.

A mercenary sat in the snow pile, staring blankly at Elsa. He was being chased just now, but in the blink of an eye he was blown away by the sudden wind and waves. When he turned around and saw this scene, he was stunned.

"Novi is not here, let's go find her."

Elsa glanced around but didn't see Novi and Yabo. She sensed the direction of the abyssal aura and didn't pause. She bent her knees slightly and prepared to jump again. At this moment, a message suddenly popped up on the interface: [Destroy the Defiler*1]

"Ok?"

With a sudden stop, Elsa slammed on the brakes, causing the frozen earth to explode beneath her feet, leaving a deep dent.

The sudden change from movement to stillness made the person in Elsa's arms feel painful. Grace had just prepared herself to hang tightly on Elsa's neck, but the next moment she sank suddenly because of the sudden stop, and then she hit Elsa's face directly with too much force - of course Elsa was fine, but Grace felt that her waist was almost broken, and there was a small swelling on her forehead.

"Hey you……"

She grimaced in pain, lifted her hair to cover her forehead and raised her eyebrows in protest, but saw Elsa turned her head and stared at the corpse with only two legs left, a rare look of confusion appearing on her face.

Seeing this, Grace swallowed the complaint on the tip of her tongue and looked at the mutilated corpse.

"Did you find something?"

Elsa didn't answer her, but turned her head and looked down at her. Her golden hair tilted down, making Grace swallow uncomfortably and want to look away.

"What...what happened suddenly...why are you looking at me?"

"You bumped into me just now." Elsa raised her finger and pressed it against her cheek, then slowly slid it down. Grace stared at the clean and beautiful fingertips, and suddenly realized something, her eyes gradually becoming uneasy. Sure enough, Elsa's fingers slid down inch by inch, and finally landed on the corner of her rosy lips, where a little devil's smile was raised, "And..."

"Stop talking!"

Before Elsa could say anything, Grace covered her mouth with her hand. Unfortunately, she was lying in Elsa's arms and could not do anything. Besides, by covering Elsa's mouth, she could just feel the soft, moist touch of her palm. As Elsa breathed, wisps of hot air gently caressed her fingers, leaving a trace of white mist in the cold air.

Grace's whole body stiffened, and before she knew it, her cheeks were slightly hot.

As luck would have it, at this moment Tricia's figure emerged from beside Elsa.

"I looked for it... Hmm? You guys..."

Grace looked at Tricia, Tricia looked at Grace, then looked at Aisha and smiled meaningfully.

"It seems I came at the wrong time."

"You've arrived just in time, Tricia. Could you please stay here? Keep an eye on these mercenaries and don't let them escape," Aisha brought the topic back to Tricia. "Also, there's that corpse—that's the Filth One."

"The filthy one?"

Tricia frowned slightly upon hearing this, her magical vision quickly focused on the corpse. "Hmm... there is a hint of the Defiler's aura, but it's very faint and almost completely gone—it seems it hasn't fully evolved yet. But why would Abyssal magic create the Defiler? It seems we need to ask Novi some questions."

Only by observing very carefully can you find that there is a very subtle breath evaporating, dissipating, and then disappearing from the flowing black blood. This is very similar to the characteristics displayed by the filthy people after death.

Tricia frowned in thought and shook her head.

"Leave this to me, Elsa."

"Ah."

Elsa did not stop and jumped through the woods. Her vision was rising rapidly. The snow-covered forest under her feet had been blown away by the wind and waves, revealing a thick dark green. Elsa's eyes quickly passed through the woods, and with her sense of the abyss, she saw Ya Bo and Novi at a glance.

They had not gone far. Ya Bo was trying to take Novi away from the monster. Ya Bo was panting, as if the continuous battles had left him with insufficient physical strength. He dragged the staggering and dazed Novi and struggled forward in the snow.

"It looks like no one's chasing us... We should be safe now," Ya Bo looked in the direction they came from, a nervous expression revealing a hint of relief at having survived. "What the hell was that monster... I thought there was another loud noise just now. I wonder if something happened again... Miss? Can you hear me? Miss? Are you okay?"

"I, I'm fine..."

At this time, Novi's face was pale, her eyes were dull, and she even limped when she walked, as if she was drunk.

"We have to get out of here."

"But...those people...are dangerous..."

Novi spoke incoherently, and Ya Bo sighed with heartache and looked back.

At this moment, he saw two figures falling from the sky. Ya Bo was stunned at first, then he immediately drew his weapon as if facing a formidable enemy and blocked Nuo Wei behind him, shouting: "Stop!"

Why would someone still chase me?

And he is also someone who can use flying magic - Ya Bo is knowledgeable and he knows very well how high the threshold of flying magic is. Ordinary wizards simply cannot master this technology well, which means that the pursuers are extremely powerful.

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he was thinking about negotiation or tactics against the enemy in his heart.

It wasn't until Aisha and Grace landed that Yabo could see their appearance clearly.

"It's you!?" Ya Bo stared at Aisha and Grace in surprise, his expression filled with doubt. "You're not..."

"It's a long story, but it's not important." Aisha looked past Yabo and looked at Novi behind him, "I'm here to find her."

"What do you want from my lady?"

Ya Bo's eyes were alert.

At this time, Grace came to Elsa's side and whispered to her, "Fortunately, she looks fine. She's just a little weak due to the depletion of her magic power. However, the abyss aura on her body is stronger now than during the day, and more of it is continuing to penetrate her body. The weaker the spirit, the more likely the abyss will take advantage of it. Once the abyss's erosion penetrates deeply into the soul, she will lose herself. It's not too late to save her now, but the sooner the better... Please, Elsa, please help her..."

Grace's tone was quite anxious, and her request was sincere. Elsa rarely saw Grace like this - it was obvious that Grace really cared about the young witch in front of her.

"Don't worry, leave it to me."

Aisha walked straight towards Novi, and Yabo, who didn't know what was going on, felt something was wrong. He glared and immediately stepped forward to stop her with his weapon tightly grasped.

"Stop, don't come over here! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"

"Don't get me wrong, I just want to help her."

Seeing that Aisha was not moved at all, Ya Bo was extremely anxious. He didn't want to go against a wizard whose strength was unknown to him, but he couldn't retreat at this time. He had to protect the young lady.

"drink!"

He immediately slashed with his sword, but saw Aisha glanced at him helplessly, and directly grasped the sharp blade in one hand. No matter how hard Ya Bo tried, he couldn't move it at all.

Ya Bo was stunned.

"Sorry, I'll explain it to you later."

Elsa let go of Ya Bo's weapon, and the clear fingerprints on the blade were shocking. Seeing this, Ya Bo had no choice but to give up trying to stop him - after all, if someone of this strength really wanted to do something to him, he would be completely unable to resist. In this case, perhaps the other party really had no ill intentions?

Aisha came to Novi and looked at Novi who looked dazed. Novi also looked up at her, as if she had no idea what had just happened.

Ya Bo swallowed his dry throat and asked tentatively: "Are you going to take the young lady away?"

"I didn't say that."

Ya Bo breathed a sigh of relief, but saw Aisha took out a small bottle out of thin air, which was filled with water. Aisha opened the cork, put her index finger to her lips, bit it, and squeezed a drop of blood from the bottle mouth - the blood spread in the clear water, which made Ya Bo puzzled.

Until Aisha supported Novi and put the bottle to her lips.

goo-dong-

It was too late for Ya Bo to say anything. He felt something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it. Why would this woman let her daughter drink her blood? And what was in that bottle? Water? How could it be possible?

Seeing that half the bottle was gone, Elsa took the bottle and put it away.

"This should be enough, any more would be bad."

Grace always felt that Elsa's words were alluding to her, but she could only purse her lips and remain silent. She told herself in her heart - be patient, Grace, you need her help, it's always right to be nicer.

503. Becky's Reward

Becky sat on the roof of the carriage with her legs crossed, holding up a bottle of dark red liquid and pouring it into her mouth. In a short while, she gulped down the liquid.

“That’s not enough…”

Becky shook the bottle in distress, and her fangs were unconsciously exposed at the corners of her mouth. At this time, her eyes had been replaced by a terrifying blood color. The blood eyes and fangs were all characteristics of the awakened blood of the vampires - there was no way, she killed someone and saw blood, and the desire for blood that she had suppressed for a long time was awakened uncontrollably.

Unlike those of the original bloodline like Charlie, ordinary vampires couldn't completely suppress their lust for blood. Not drinking blood wouldn't necessarily kill them, but it would certainly be worse than death, a thirst etched deep within their souls. Of course, Elsa wouldn't allow Becky to hunt for human blood. So, Becky prepared some blood vials filled with animal blood: boar, rabbit, cow, sheep... but no human blood.

This blood could be purchased cheaply from hunters or butchers in large basins. Unlike the customs of the northern Kingdom of Belmont Feria, the people of the Empire didn't process blood as an ingredient. They seemed to generally believe that consuming blood-based food was unrefined, decadent, and filthy—which, in Becky's opinion, was nonsense. Trying dragon blood instead? She'd probably be fighting over it.

In short, the blood of slaughtered animals is drained and sold cheaply to farmers, alchemists, and the like. This makes it cheap, a good way to obtain blood in large quantities without arousing suspicion. Becky has been using this method since arriving in Kroros. The only drawback is that this blood tastes much worse than human blood. It's not only easily perishable, but also often has an unspeakable odor. It's fine for quenching thirst, but it's far from being a satisfying, flavorful drink.

Becky put the empty bottle away, smacked her lips, sighed, and looked at the people in front of the carriage.

A group of mercenaries stood trembling in front of the carriage, throwing away their weapons and standing in a row facing the cold night wind. They were all injured and looked worse than the other.

Only seven or eight of Vance's men remained—half killed by the monsters transformed by the felt-hatted messenger, and half by Becky's hands. This was despite Becky showing mercy; as long as they surrendered without fleeing or attempting a surprise attack, she wouldn't kill them outright. For example, Vance, seeing he was outmatched, surrendered decisively.

At this moment, Vance wanted nothing more than to go back a few hours, give himself a good slap, and then hang up that wicked Nolde and tear him into pieces. If it weren't for Nolde, how could he have gotten involved with such a group of terrifying women? Thinking back, one could fly, one could turn invisible, and one was a blood clan that killed without blinking an eye. And who knew where that gray-haired woman and child came from?

The cold wind blew and Vance's teeth were chattering. He didn't know if it was because of fear or the cold.

This was exactly the scene that Elsa saw when she returned to the carriage carrying the soundly sleeping Novi. When they met again, Vance lowered his head in fear. Ya Bo followed Tricia and Grace silently. Several surviving mercenaries were also brought over with their hands and feet tied with ropes.

"Becky."

Elsa greeted.

Upon hearing the voice, Becky quickly crossed her legs, jumped off the carriage, and went to meet him obediently.

"Lady Aisha..."

Becky became unusually respectful, completely different from her previous self. As soon as she opened her mouth, Elsa saw the sharp fangs at the corner of her mouth. Her eyes moved, and Becky's scarlet eyes also fell into Elsa's eyes.

"Where's Lacey?"

"She's asleep, she's safe!"

"Well, make room for this girl. She needs to rest."

Becky quickly lifted the carriage, walked step by step to the right road, put a few stones under the wheels, and then walked to the front to move the huge logs that Vance and others had set up to block the road. Ya Bo, who followed, was shocked because Becky did it all with her bare hands.

"None of these people are simple!" Ya Bo had an idea in his heart, but he muttered to himself, "But, how can such people treat the young lady..."

Becky fiddled with the carriage for a while, then ran out and came to Elsa: "Lady Elsa, everything is settled!"

"this is for you."

Elsa threw a bottle to Becky. It was the bottle that she had just given to Novi to drink. A drop of Elsa's blood was melted in it. There was only half a bottle left. It had not been long, so it was still quite fresh.

"This is……?"

"You can try the drink."

Elsa carried Novi towards the carriage. Becky held the bottle in her hand and looked at it again and again. The bottle was transparent and she couldn't see anything. Seeing that Elsa didn't look over here, she pulled out the cork curiously and sniffed it. A very faint fragrance came to her nose. She was stunned for a moment, and her wine-red pupils suddenly widened a little.

"This...what is this!"

Although there seemed to be a hint of saliva on it, the overwhelming aroma was the strange fragrance bursting from the bottle! As sweet and delicious as honey, as fragrant and alluring as a delicacy! It was blood, the scent was undoubtedly blood, and it was the highest grade of blood she had ever seen or tasted! Becky had never smelled such a sweet, delicious, and enchanting scent!

She swallowed unconsciously - even though she had just drunk blood, she still felt thirsty uncontrollably.

Without any hesitation, she couldn't wait to tilt her head back and drink it, finishing it all in just a short moment. Until the very end, she tilted her neck back and used her small pink tongue to hook the bottle mouth and lick it left and right, not wanting to waste a single drop.

Then, she felt a warm current spreading from her abdomen to her limbs, followed by a fierce, unprecedented feeling of comfort. She closed her eyes unconsciously, raised her head and took a deep breath to relieve the strong throbbing. She felt goose bumps on her arms, and when she opened her eyes again, she could hardly stand.

The fangs disappeared, the scarlet in the eyes faded, the tip of the tongue swept across the corner of the mouth, and the pearly teeth bit the lips with lingering satisfaction. Becky stood there blankly for a moment before she finally came to her senses.

An experience I've never had before! It's so fascinating!

Sure enough, following Elsa might bring some hardships, but you will definitely enjoy extraordinary sweetness!

Becky curled her lips in satisfaction and put the bottle into her space ring - she decided to keep it.

……

Inside the carriage, Aisha settled the sleeping Novi down and cast a healing spell on her.

Ya Bo watched worriedly.

"She simply overdrained her magic power and fell into a deep sleep. Without the erosion of the abyss's aura, and with the replenishment of Elsa's magic power, she's safe now and should wake up tomorrow."

Grace said to Ya Bo, telling him not to worry.

Ya Bo was still a little skeptical. He never trusted these people outside, but at this moment he could only choose to remain silent - what else could he do? He couldn't take the young lady away from these people with his own strength.
