Elena caught her fist. Actually, at the moment she swung, Milly was afraid; she was worried something would happen to Felusa, so she held back some of her strength.
She didn’t even realize it herself; it was just a subconscious act.
“The way you resist is still so cute,” Elena said with a face full of smiles. “Alright, make a decision. Are you going to accompany me to the party or not?”
“I won’t!” Milly roared loudly. “You bastards actually held such a disgusting party. What exactly is your goal!”
“Huh?” Elena was dumbfounded. “Did you misunderstand something? The Silver Party isn’t being held by us; it’s being held by the Blood Pact next door.”
“The Blood Pact next door…”
Milly had heard that witches would form small-scale organizations.
They called them “Blood Pacts,” meaning they were “bound by blood.” To put it simply, they were alliances, just with a more sinister name.
“Your Blood Pact, the Blood Pact next door?”
“Allow me to formally introduce myself,” Elena stood up and patted her ample curves. “I am the Acting Leader of the Blood Pact [Moon Hymn], Elena.”
As Elena approached, Milly saw her face clearly.
She couldn’t help but feel that she looked somewhat similar to Felusa?
Impossible, it was definitely an illusion!
Elena was a witch; how could she be the same as the Saintess Felusa? Besides, hadn’t Elena locked Felusa up?
One was a kidnapper, and the other was a hostage.
They weren’t the same person, so how could they look alike?
Calm down, it was just because both of them were equally wicked that she was overlapping them.
“What do you mean by the neighboring alliance?”
“It’s a Blood Pact,” Elena corrected. “According to our investigation, the Blood Pact entrenched in Guteram is the [Scarlet Phantom].”
“Scarlet Phantom…”
In the past, the witches she had subjugated were basically solo practitioners.
She rarely encountered a witch alliance of any scale, and she hadn’t expected to run into two of them all at once.
“Are you and the Scarlet Phantom in a hostile relationship?”
“It doesn’t quite reach the level of hostility, we just have different ideologies,” Elena explained. “What they are holding this time is a secret ritual to summon a demon.”
“Summoning a demon?…”
Milly tried to fish for information.
Anyway, since Felusa was in her hands, she couldn’t make any rash moves for now.
It had to be said that the witches’ intelligence was more detailed than that of the Goddess Religion. The Goddess Religion had spent quite a long time just to scout out the approximate location of the witches’ gathering place.
On the other hand, Elena had obtained such detailed information so easily.
Then again, they were all witches and belonged to the same camp. Elena was also an Acting Leader, so she probably just had to meet with the leader of the Scarlet Phantom.
She’d just ask: “What have you been up to lately?”
The other side would answer: “Us? We’re preparing to summon a demon!”
And just like that, the intel would arrive. Thinking about it, it really was easy!
“They are preparing to summon the Demon God Sitia. She is ranked 12th among the 72 Pillars of Demon Gods, an incarnation of lust, and quite difficult to deal with.”
“Uh… an incarnation of lust…”
For some reason, Milly thought of Felusa. She felt like Felusa was an incarnation of lust herself, constantly trying to tease her. However, Elena wasn’t much better.
These two were birds of a feather!
“What are they summoning that thing for…”
“They didn’t say, but I can guess. It’s either for revenge against the Goddess Religion or because they want to rule the world.”
“Rule the world…”
She had long known that witches had antisocial personalities, but she hadn’t expected them to want to rule the world. As expected, witches had to be pulled out by the roots; she absolutely could not tolerate their evil!
“It’s just a small fuss, and they still want to rule the world,” Elena said with a face full of disdain. “If they cause too much of a stir, ‘they’ will take action, and no one will be able to escape then.”
“Uh, ‘they’…”
“The mysterious race on this continent: the [Dragon Race]. To them, the battle between the witches and the Goddess Religion is just a small squabble that won’t attract any attention at all.”
“The Dragon Race…”
Milly had heard of them. The Dragon Race had dealt with the Evil God and even purified the World Tree on another continent. Now that the two continents could trade, it was largely thanks to the Dragon Race’s assistance.
She had thought it was a legend, but she hadn’t expected it to be true.
Since Elena said it so certainly, maybe she had actually seen the Dragon Race?
Speaking of which, there was another rumor.
The rumor was that over twenty years ago, the Goddess Religion had been destroyed once. As for who exactly destroyed it, that was still unknown. It was only in the last ten years that it had gradually recovered its peak.
The person who destroyed it was probably from the Dragon Race, right?
Whatever the case, the key was what to do now?
“What will it take for you to release Felusa?”
“Didn’t I say it already? Accompany me to the party,” Elena said with a smile. “Don’t worry, such a rare and fresh young girl like you—I won’t trade you to anyone else.”
“Who wants to go with you!—”
Milly clenched her fists in protest. Let alone being traded, she didn’t want to walk right into a trap and let Elena treat her wantonly again!
She was already pregnant with a baby; was that not enough?
“I’m not negotiating with you; I’m informing you.”
Elena took a step forward and directly tilted Milly’s chin up. Before Milly could recover from the shock, she was forcefully kissed by Elena.
This kiss was so skillful; it had a familiar taste.
For a moment, Milly even thought that the person kissing her was Felusa.
She quickly came to her senses and pushed Elena away forcefully, wiping her mouth.
“You pervert, what are you doing!—”
“Oh ho? I’m a pervert?” Elena curled her lips into a smile. “Don’t forget, back then you were so charming and delicate, begging me to comfort you properly?”
“That, that was because of the aphrodisiac…”
She almost forgot that Elena also had those suggestive photos of her.
Elena and Felusa were of the same character; they both loved to leave behind evidence to use for blackmail later! Now that Felusa was in her hands, she was even holding onto those photos of her.
Ugh, she felt like she was about to be coerced and bribed again.
She had clearly made up her mind to tear her into a million pieces!
Calm down, she couldn’t lose it now. A gentleman’s revenge is never too late even after ten years. Once she found out about Felusa’s whereabouts, it wouldn’t be too late to kill Elena!
“What exactly is your purpose in making me accompany you?”
“Oh, I almost forgot to mention,” Elena stood up straight. Milly’s eyes went wide because the shape of her chest was almost identical to Felusa’s.
Could there really be people so similar in this world?
They couldn’t be twins, right? But their faces didn’t look that much alike.
“My goal is the same as yours: to destroy the summoning ritual. The Demon God Sitia is very difficult to control and might even harm the innocent.”
“More importantly, we can’t let the Dragon Race notice that a foreign deity has intruded. Oh, let me explain—a Demon God is also considered a type of deity.”
“The Dragon Race has a legacy ability that allows them to detect foreign invasive species. As long as they find a shred of evidence, they will strike to kill.”
“They don’t care about innocent bystanders. In their eyes, world peace is far more important than the lives of a small group of humans. Let alone witches, even the Goddess Religion would be eradicated.”
Milly was stunned, her mouth hanging open for a long time without saying a word.
“Are they that unreasonable…”
“Do you care about the life or death of an ant?” Elena said coldly. “In their eyes, we humans are about the same as ants.”
Why did it feel like the Dragon Race were the villains?
“Did you really think that your Goddess Religion could receive an invitation? I’m the one who left the invitation letter yesterday; the purpose was to lure you into the trap.”
“To tell you the truth, I actually received an invitation.”
“The prerequisite is that I have a female companion with me.”
Milly rolled her eyes at Elena and pointed to the young girl in the black robe next to her.
“Can’t she just go with you?”
Unexpectedly, the girl’s cheeks turned bright red as she stammered and shouted, “How could I be worthy of Lady Elena! Lady Elena likes you!…”
For a moment, the room fell into a dead silence.
Elena glared at the black-robed girl, and the girl subconsciously covered her mouth.
