As the saying goes, beauties only belong to the strong, so a loli mother only deserves to be monopolized by an even stronger daughter.
At this moment, Valo felt like a piece of loot, being carried around by that “mother-thief” Anqi as they ducked and wove through the area.
What? She should be tougher and break free from Anqi’s princess carry?
Does that mean she should reveal her second form as the Villainous Demon King Valo Rante II in front of everyone and take a lap around the sky?
If you want to die, just say so.
So, unless she wanted to crash, she had to honestly stay in Anqi’s arms and be treated like a trophy.
Moreover, everything in Valo’s line of sight had gone to hell!
To stop her from becoming a Saintess Candidate before the First Day Celebration, her two daughters had a very clear division of labor—Finney was in charge of snatching the person, while Kaika was responsible for stalling that troublesome ghostly nun, the Sister Superior.
But the Sister Superior was not that simple.
Even facing the charging Kaika, the Sister Superior remained composed.
She maintained a dignified posture while blinking and teleporting, all while firing soul-searching questions at Kaika.
“Miss Kaika, I had a faint feeling the night you stole the Holy Relics. There is a restless, dark, and filthy power within you. I didn’t expect the secret your mother stopped you from revealing to be so startling.”
There was no helping it. The moment Kaika crushed the [Flower of Fel Energy], the secrets of her identity became more exposed to those with sharp eyes.
“That wicked Holy Relic… it’s not something an ordinary Demon Clan subordinate could obtain, is it?”
“Once your mother becomes a Saintess Candidate, I will initiate a detailed investigation, Miss Kaika.”
With that, the Sister Superior blinked again, easily opening up the distance between her and Kaika.
The Sister Superior had completely given up on attacking—when Kaika closed in with her daggers, she blinked.
When Kaika used her Fel Energy throwing knives to bait an opening from a distance, the Sister Superior still blinked.
Valo silently raised a middle finger in her mind. ‘Stupid cheater, her Flash has no CD.’
But she also quickly realized that the Sister Superior’s behavior most likely meant she had discovered a loophole in her two daughters’ rescue operation!
Sure enough, a moment later!
A breeze caught the hem of the Sister Superior’s indigo uniform. The blonde woman once again pulled away from Kaika.
“Miss Kaika, I think it would be best if you stopped early.”
“This plan of yours is likely a private operation without any Imperial authorization, isn’t it?”
The Sister Superior let out a light chuckle. “In other words, the Church only needs to wait for the Empire to send people to investigate, and it will be over.”
She hit the nail on the head!
Valo clearly saw her “dutiful” daughter, who usually crawled in the shadows but was also her first legitimate daughter, do something incredibly dangerous!
The girl spun around to pull away from the Sister Superior, and then… a second [Flower of Fel Energy] bloomed in her hand!
She no longer pretended to be a good girl, nor did she hide the Demon Clan aura filled with dark purple Fel Energy!
“You sure talk a lot… you menopausal old hag.”
She then looked toward Valo!
“Why would I listen to the Female Hero? I only do what I want to do and what Mother commands.”
“Hey, Mother, it’s okay if I kill her, right?”
Those words were clearly meant for Valo, who was suspended in mid-air!
Kaika didn’t even wait for an answer. The next second, she crushed the second rose!
“TIME ALTER-DOUBLE ACCEL!”
Veins pulsed at her temples, and the girl’s expression instantly twisted in agony!
But her movements were like she had activated a speed hack, moving so fast she left dark purple afterimages!
Valo immediately recognized this as the second ability of Kaika’s Holy Relic, the [Flower of Fel Energy]—crush more roses to overdraw the body in exchange for a breakthrough in stats and magic!
In the game’s settings, the second rose was already the limit for the vast majority of users!
But even so, it still wasn’t enough to handle the Sister Superior!
For a moment, the Sister Superior’s blinks couldn’t keep up with Kaika’s rhythm.
Just as she teleported elsewhere, Kaika’s phantom remained in the previous spot, while the girl’s true self swung her [Shadow Twin Daggers], solidly shattering the magical protection around the Sister Superior and leaving a long, bloody mark on the front of her uniform!
As crimson blood splattered, the Sister Superior burst into wild laughter!
“Hahaha! Miss Kaika, you’re finally showing your true self.”
Whether it was because Kaika’s “menopausal old hag” comment hit a sore spot or she was simply getting heated from the fight, the Sister Superior could no longer hide her manic tone, which was entirely different from her usual elegance!
“If you ask me, if you can study at the Clock Tower with this kind of personality in the future, you’ll probably be even more popular!”
After being knocked back, the Sister Superior stabilized herself just as Kaika’s silhouette lunged in for the kill!
However…
“Of course—if you even have a future.”
This slightly rushed move allowed the Sister Superior to trade blood for blood, reaching out to grab Kaika by the throat!
“Good ability, but you’re just a brat in the end.”
In an instant, a violent gale rose! Countless wind blades gathered into a tornado, all striking Kaika, who was held by the neck and unable to break free!
When the tornado dissipated, the Sister Superior tossed the girl, whose body was now tattered and broken, forward like a discarded rag.
‘Kaika!’
Valo could no longer sit still; her instinctive thought was one of worry!
Yet, despite being covered in wounds, her daughter still had no intention of collapsing or knowing when to quit.
Instead, before she hit the ground… she did something even more insane!
A third rose appeared in Kaika’s palm!
“TIME ALTER… COUGH… TRIPLE ACCEL!”
Instantly, blood seeped from the girl’s orifices.
Her [Blackening Value] suddenly shot up to 95%—this was the last thing Valo saw before Kaika’s figure moved so fast it practically disappeared!
Now she was truly panicking. Three roses! This power came at a price! Kaika absolutely could not hold out!
She would die the moment her life force was completely overdrawn!
“Kaika? Wait… wait! I’m telling you to stop, Kaika! Sister Superior! I command you to stop as well!”
“Anqi, Finney! You two have done enough! Can’t we just sit down and talk!?”
“Aren’t you all my daughters!?”
She was anxious now, but was it because Kaika’s [Blackening Value] was about to max out, potentially leading her to a double suicide that would trigger a [Matricide Plot] and ruin the [Virtuous Corruption Ending]?
Or was it because her daughter was risking her life to save her?
She couldn’t tell. She really couldn’t tell.
And a moment later, while being carried by Anqi through a dizzying aerial dogfight, Valo discovered that she had more than just one troublesome daughter!
Her Hero daughter, Finney, had gained crimson wings through Pandora’s transformation ability and was already chasing after her and Anqi!
the girl’s goal was clear: “Anqi, give Mother back to me!”
Anqi’s response was a dark-faced, possessive, and sinister smirk.
“I refuse. I worked so hard to mold Mother into the most perfect Saintess Candidate in my heart. After everything, how could I return a perfect Mother to you two just because of your boring selfishness, only for her to be polluted again?”
As she spoke, Anqi shifted her expression to one of heartbreaking sorrow!
“Ah… even though I just kindly and generously told Mother that even if she becomes a Saintess Candidate, she can still be your mother…”
‘This damn manipulator, she’s literally rewriting history as she speaks!’
“It seems now that if I want Mother to become the perfect Saintess Candidate, I must cut off her identity as a mother to you and Kaika.”
“Anyway, Finney, don’t you already know? Mother is capable of doing this.”
Her white wings flapped, and the Saintess held Valo tighter, as if showing her off.
“As I thought, it’s enough for Mother to have just me as her daughter.”
Listening to this made Valo’s forehead break out in a cold sweat. ‘Hey, hey, hey?’
Each one of them said they loved their mother, but why did no one care about her opinion right now?
And Anqi had just stolen all her lines, leaving her unable to even say the words “cutting off the mother identity” to Finney!
Anqi’s self-serving declaration of severance was phrased horribly—who cuts ties like that! There was no lubrication at all! How could Finney possibly listen to that?
Sure enough, Finney’s [Justice Value] in her vision had climbed to 70%!
It wasn’t just the rise in the [Justice Value] that made Valo nervous!
Finney’s behavior in her line of sight was becoming more and more strange!
“Anqi, give Mother back to us.”
“Tch… how annoying! Even if you are the Hero, it won’t work!”
Facing Finney’s repetition, Anqi’s gaze gradually darkened.
