139: A Hair-Raising Scene
"Hm? What's this? From the look on your face, you recognize this 'thing'?"
"Hiss hiss!"
Watching Victor's expression gradually shift from terror to despair, Evelia inexplicably felt a sense of pleasure in her heart. She gave a wicked smile, and the golden light spear suspended in the air before her immediately began making a series of teeth-grinding sounds, as if some kind of insect were chewing on it with its mouthparts.
In the next instant, black spots of varying sizes suddenly began appearing on the surface of the originally pure, flawless golden spear. The places where these black spots appeared quickly began dissolving! In just a few seconds, the originally holy God-given Spear became fragmented, like paper that had been eaten through by insects.
"Crack!"
In the next second, in Victor's eyes that had already nearly filled with complete despair, the God-given Spear completely shattered into pieces of golden fragments the size of fingernails. These fragments didn't disappear into the air like other dispelled God-given Magic. Instead, they were drawn toward something, rushing directly into a small black sphere in Evelia's palm, ultimately being devoured by it.
"Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz..."
With the sound of flies that was annoying just to hear, Victor finally saw clearly. The "thing" in Evelia's hand wasn't a black sphere at all. It was a thumb-sized, completely black, red-eyed fly.
And this became the final straw that broke the camel's back.
"Beelzebub..."
Victor collapsed onto the ground in despair, staring blankly at the red-eyed fly not far away.
Beelzebub, the Sin of Gluttony, one of the Seven Demon Kings of Hell, and also the terrifying demon known in secular legends as the "Lord of the Flies." According to legend, his status among the Seven Demon Kings of Hell was second only to the Fallen Angel Lucifer. He was a genuine existence that could truly be called a Demon King.
"You actually recognize it? You have pretty good eyes, old man. But unfortunately, this is just an avatar, not the real body~"
Evelia grinned. Her appearance also began to change slightly. Her originally pitch-black waist-length hair gradually transformed into a mysterious and beautiful pale purple. A pair of colorful demon wings quietly spread from her waist. Combined with the black and white nun's habit she was wearing, the demon nun actually had a unique beauty to it.
"Princess of Hell, why did you... join the Church?"
"Hm? You actually know who I am? Well, I joined the Church purely to investigate the Descent Faction anyway. If you know anything, I advise you to tell me directly. Otherwise, you'll have to suffer plenty when you go down~"
"Descent Faction..."
Upon hearing this name, Victor's face immediately revealed a strange expression.
Evelia narrowed her eyes slightly. This guy, he really did know something?
Recalling that "Corpse Walker" she had seen at that black-robed man's place back then, Evelia still felt somewhat nauseous even now. Those living weapons were undoubtedly made using biological remains. Just thinking that those missing children might have been cruelly killed by the Descent Faction, their souls sacrificed and their corpses desecrated, a strong anger rose in Evelia's heart. She clenched her fists, and her gaze toward Victor gradually turned cold.
"Heh, so it really was that idiot William's fault? Damn it! That Lord shouldn't have let him act alone! That bastard..."
Unexpectedly, Victor's first words when he spoke again were cursing someone named "William." But from his reaction, he was indeed connected to the Descent Faction.
Thinking of this, Evelia pulled out that purple shotgun from under her skirt with an icy gaze and loaded it with magic bullets.
If Victor showed any intention of escaping or resisting, Evelia would immediately and without hesitation turn him into a sieve!
As for intelligence related to the Descent Faction... sorry, but right now Evelia was giving this guy his final chance at redemption. If he cooperated obediently and revealed who the Descent Faction mole hiding in the Church was, Evelia would let him die without any pain.
Otherwise, Evelia would let him experience in the world after death what it truly meant to wish for death but be unable to achieve it!
And at that point, Evelia would just have her uncles and aunts search this guy's soul to get the intelligence she wanted anyway.
"Last chance~ Tell me who the Descent Faction mole hiding in the Church is, and I promise you won't feel a single bit of pain~"
Evelia revealed a brilliant smile. But in Victor's eyes, this smile appeared so terrifying and sinister.
"As someone from the Church, you should know how the Church treats traitors like you, right? If you fall into the hands of Executors, wanting to die will become quite difficult~"
"...Do I even have another choice? Damn it, today I've just lost!"
Victor stared at Evelia with burning eyes. This wasn't because he really didn't want to live anymore. Rather, in his current situation... he truly and genuinely had no way out...
Escape? With Beelzebub's avatar beside Evelia watching, how could he escape? Attack first? What a joke. Me fight Satan's daughter? Seriously?
Forget it. He had anticipated this day long ago when he accepted that Lord's invitation.
"You want to know who the Descent Faction mole hiding in the Church is, right?"
"Mm hm~ But let me remind you ahead of time~ Don't think about using lies to deceive me. I can tell~"
Evelia gently brushed her hand across her eyes, and Soul Gaze quietly activated...
"...I certainly know. But there's one thing you need to remember. There was never any mole that infiltrated the Holy Church. There are only people like us who willingly followed that Lord."
"You've mentioned that word more than once. So... who is that person?"
"You've already seen him. That Lord's true identity is... Mmph! What!"
Just as Victor was about to say that crucial name, he suddenly trembled all over, and a look of terror appeared on his face.
Evelia immediately realized something was wrong and subconsciously rushed forward. However...
Golden flames suddenly erupted from within Victor's body, almost instantly engulfing his figure. At the same time, the searing pain at her fingertips startled Evelia. She violently pulled her hand back, then quickly distanced herself from Victor.
"Aaaaaaaaaah!"
Blazing flames rose and danced on Victor's body. His body also gradually turned into charcoal at a visible rate. The strangest thing was that the sparks shooting from his body, although touching the plants on both sides of the road, didn't ignite them. Instead, after flickering several times, they quickly extinguished.
"Burning the soul... Hellfire? No, if it were Hellfire, it would be even more impossible to burn me..."
Evelia swallowed with some lingering fear. She tried ordering Beelzebub's avatar beside her to go forward and devour those strange golden flames. However, an even more hair-raising scene occurred. When that red-eyed fly slowly drifted in front of those flames, the expected scene didn't happen. Instead, Beelzebub's avatar was actually ignited like an ordinary fly, ultimately turning to ash.
"Gulp..."
The scene before her was truly too bizarre. So bizarre that even Evelia felt a trace of fear.
She could only watch helplessly as Victor's body gradually turned to powder, his soul burned by the flames, and ultimately... his soul scattered into nothing.
