“Submit to you?” Nailisi sighed and stopped talking. However, the sarcastic undertones were obvious.

Grand Duke Jatan laughed and wiggled the bottle in his hand. “Guess what is it.”

“Yeah, I know, my death,” Nailisi answered calmly.

“No, this is your new beginning. You’ll understand soon enough that it doesn’t make a difference who you follow.” The Grand Duke swiped at the mouth of the bottle lightly. A pointy needle shot out of the bottle.

Nailisi was devoid of strength. The rules imbued with the web were not resistible by a level ten luoluokaluo like her. Nailisi regretted not taking her golden dragon form. The power of the golden dragon had properties allowing her to resist rules. At the very least, she would not end helpless against a bottle of drugs.

The needle was stuck right below her eyes. Nailisi felt a cooling sensation in her body. If it had been others, they would have been confused, but she knew that the drugs were trying to take control of her body.

If she gave up resisting even for a split second, the drugs would stain her soul.

Grand Duke Jatan saw the injection of the pink liquid. “Demon, how about you call me master?”

“You? Master? You’re a pile of sh**…” Nailisi cursed breathlessly.

The Grand Duke had absolute certainty that things would go his way and was hardly irked. He stroked Nailisi’s horn with a smile. “Even if I happen to be a pile of sh**, you won’t be able to spit it out. How does it feel? Does your soul feel good? Submit to it.”

“Someone once told me that there’d be a time in life where you’d have to eat sh**. Just remember not to chew on it,” Nailisi’s words turned incredibly cra.s.s and finally made the Grand Duke feel disgusted. The feeling of disgust was so strong that it lingered in his mind.

This demon is stubborn. But the more stubborn a creature is, the more precious it is!

Grand Duke Jatan was forced to take out another bottle and inject the contents into Nailisi’s body. That time, Nailisi finally looked up at the Grand Duke. Her eyes were pink.

The Grand Duke was elated and flipped the net on Nailisi’s body over. It worked.

Nailisi felt strength returning to her body, but only the power of her muscles returned. The ability to shapes.h.i.+ft was still sealed. The Grand Duke put away the net. Worse still, the head facing the Grand Duke had been tainted by the drugs and began showing signs of submission.

Nailisi’s devil form had three heads, and one of them housed her soul.

The fire dragon was still coiled around the Magical Element Tower, tainting it with a red glow of fire element. The tower was unable to see what was going on outside and no one knew that Nailisi was being softened by the Grand Duke.

Rossen the water puppet only had level nine powers, making it difficult for him to fly the tower.

He wanted freedom and lost direct mental connection with Saleen. Their mental vibration frequencies were getting increasingly different. The connection between the water puppet and Saleen was maintained only because Saleen still had control of the shenhe.

Nailisi’s pink eyes looked at the Grand Duke and he took out a contract. He smiled. “Become my slave.”

Nailisi was unable to resist. The drugs had penetrated her brain. However, she had two heads, and one of them controlled an arm and swung the Sword of Rules.

The power of rage burst from the Sword of Rules. It was the first time Nailisi felt anger.

Are you trying to make me leave my master?

There were rules of rage imbued with the sword. Any creature would be able to bring forth power several times greater than usual when they were angry. Nailisi’s power was restrained by the rules, but the Sword of Rules was not.

She was unable to attack the Grand Duke, but she was still able to attack herself.

Am intense flash of light burst between the acting rules. Nailisi cut off the head facing forward with one swing of the sword.

The huge head dropped to the floor and the blood seeping out of the wound was a shocking red. Nailisi’s devil form had red blood, just like humans.

Nailisi cut one of her heads off just so that she was able to resist the drugs.

I’d rather die than submit to this human! She followed Saleen because she liked it very, very much. Her master was like her. He had a bit of cunning and a bit of cowardice. All of that gradually disappeared, and Nailisi had been sad because of it.

However, people grew up, and Nailisi knew that she was growing up as well. Furthermore, as she grew, she found it increasingly difficult to cut herself away from Saleen.

Not every human was worth following. Nailisi looked at Grand Duke Jatan and felt only disgust. That lavishly dressed human was extremely full of himself. Him? Conquering the mainland?

She found his thoughts delusional, much more than her master’s ideals. You really think you can throw your weight around all the time just because you have powerful people around you?

Grand Duke Jatan had never encountered a situation like that, where the soul of a creature stained by his drugs was unwilling to submit to him.

He wondered if it was because his drugs were losing their effect. However, the act of the demon swinging a sword to cut her own head off meant that they worked. It was just that it was unable to totally control the demon.

Everything happened too quickly. Everyone behind the Grand Duke gasped after seeing the demon refuse his command in such a horrifying manner.

The shouts felt like they were making a sarcastic jab at him, and he was very irked.

“If you’re unwilling to submit, then you shall die. You should serve well as materials for crafting.” The Grand Duke brandished his curved blade.

Nailisi turned and said to the Grand Duke with one of her remaining heads, “my master shall avenge me. You would no longer have any bloodline to speak of. All that you love shall be destroyed by my master. Your soul shall endure the raging fires of purgatory for eternity!”

Nailisi cast a demon skill that did not require any power for support—a demon curse. It was something that demons were able to use when they were near death.

Nailisi finished casting the curse, and tears formed in the eyes of the two remaining heads. Her body began to crumble. The requirement for using the skill was harsh, as it required said demon to pay with their life. It was the simplest requirement there was.

Grand Duke felt something happening to his body. The feeling was eerie and peculiar, as if some power fell onto him out of nowhere.

Nailisi’s words made him s.h.i.+ver. Her adamant refusal caused him extreme distress. However, greed lingered in his mind and the remaining bit of luck he felt made him swing his blade.

He wanted to stop her body from crumbling. Every part of Nailisi’s body would be able to serve as material for crafting equipment.

Pfff…

Nailisi’s second head was cut off by the Grand Duke’s curved blade.

“Stop!”

Saleen’s voice was heard from the end of the canyon. He emerged from the teleportation portal and sensed that something was disappearing in the depth of his soul. It was the soul contract with Nailisi.

Nailisi is in trouble? Saleen took the Water Fox and quickly emerged out of the pool. As soon as he emerged out of the water, he saw Nailisi’s devil form get one of her heads cut off by the Grand Duke.

“I am not stopping!”

The Grand Duke shouted and slashed again. Nailisi’s third head was cut off. Her devil form was barely able to keep her upper body up when it hit the ground. The devil form was no longer able to close the wounds using the power of her muscles.

Red blood sprayed from her wounds, shooting high and causing a rain of blood within her immediate vicinity.

“Myers, help her,” Saleen told the Water Fox. The Thunder Dragon Blaster appeared on his left arm. Four dragon claws clung to her arm and the mouth of the dragon opened. Seven lightning icicles shot out at the very same time.

The Water Fox nodded in acknowledgment. She sensed Saleen’s anger and heartache.

It’s just a demon. Do you need to feel that much?

The seven lightning icicles flew right before Grand Duke Jatan in an instant. The Grand Duke’s mind seemed to be plunged into the abyss. Electrical arcs danced around the icicles and a thunderous rumble was heard. The rumble slowed his skills down, making it difficult for him to cast them.

The Grand Duke shouted and a layer of red armor appeared on his body.

It was a skill possessed only by level ten individuals—True Might Armor!

Six lightning icicles formed a magic array and sent blue electrical arcs flying around the Grand Duke’s body. The True Might Armor crumbled between the arcs and the last, huge icicle at the center penetrated the Grand Duke’s heart.

The lightning icicle was infused with intense power. It unleashed high temperature with electricity. The True Might Armor was still there when the high temperature vaporized the Grand Duke’s body, leaving an empty sh.e.l.l.

The Grand Duke was not supposed to have ended so pathetically. He had many skills and was experienced in combat, but Nailisi gave her life to cast a demon curse before she died, slowing him down.

All of his people were baffled at the death of Grand Duke Jatan.

“Retreat!” the level ten mage shouted. While the Grand Duke was dead, there was still the Grants. They would only need to elect a new Grand Duke. The enemy was ferocious, and it was unwise for them to stay behind and fight.

Cloudflow people usually looked elegant, but were cowards as soon as their defeat was confirmed.

“Leaving eh?” Saleen’s expression was ferocious. He had no idea if the Water Fox’s nature divine spells would be able to revive Nailisi, but the sorcerer who shouted retreat was holding Nailisi’s s.h.i.+eld. He shall die!

Saleen’s body was wrapped in thick water element armor and the power of the earth propelled him forward. Saleen’s body seemed to burn. The outer layer of the water element armor was unable to withstand the friction brought by moving at over 3,000 miles per hour.

The fire element in the air was ignited.

Saleen appeared in front of the level ten sorcerer almost instantly and pointed a finger at the sorcerer’s head.
