Chapter 45: 45. Evolution 1

"WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING!?"

When Lilith saw the people who were fighting, Dhampy and Sylva, these two were her followers and as far as Lilith was concerned, the two were supposed to have a good relationship with one another.

But now, they were looking at one another with hate in their eyes. To be exact, it was Sylva staring at the daemon behind Dhampy — Luna.

Seeing this, Lilith didn't even need an answer, and she wouldn't get these answers anytime soon.

"Give her to me, big sis, I don't want to fight you over this."

"No can do, she's under my protection for this one occasion."

"Then, I am sorry for what I am about to do."

Sylva was injured, still. She was gravely hurt after the incident in the Neutral Areas. She had all the rights to be angered at the Pixies, but she was not angered about that at all.

She was angered at one thing, the presence of her friend; her family existed inside the Moon Liwa. The friend that was taken away from her by the Pixies dwell inside Luna and one could only imagine the level of hate she had towards the one who absorbed the life and soul of her friend.

Despite her bones having all been restored to how they were, Sylva was still gravely injured and shouldn't be moving around so much. Her HP was still at 50%, far from being the ideal state of fighting, and yet even with her one eye gone, Sylva still looked ready to kill.

Honestly, this was the first time Dhampy or Lilith had seen her like this. And as her anger began to rise, something inside her clicked.

ZooM!

A yellow light flashed; the wind whirled. Sylva moved swiftly, she disappeared from sight and reached Dhampy in a manner of seconds.  Her eyes were filled with the intent to kill that it was practically reeking.

She was angry, she was pissed, she was out for blood.

Sylva traveled like a storm as she activated the Storm Step skill, she drew the dagger out of space and reappeared before Dhampy.

Slash!

She moved her hands, her whole weight behind that single dagger swing. Boom! The ground caved as Dhampy caught the attack and redirected the pressure she received to the ground. Her body received minimal damage.

Exchanging looks with Sylva, Dhampy stated with a cold voice, "Sylva, that is enough!"

However, Sylva was too angered to make any form of conversation with Dhampy. Using her remaining dagger, she went ahead and threw it towards Luna hiding behind Dhampy.

"Die!"

Dhampy saw this and her hands moved to catch the dagger. Blood spurted as she let the dagger pierce her flesh, blood flew out [-500 HP], it caused real damage, but her regeneration helped her HP recover.

Sylva saw Dhampy getting stabbed so she let go of her dagger and somersaulted mid-air to deliver an ax kick. Dhampy's head had an intimate time with the ground and — Bam!

Sylva's eyes glowed a maniacal red as her fingers went and attempted to strangled Luna. Sylva was quick-witted, and her battle senses at this moment were enhanced to near perfection.

But, Dhampy wouldn't just let her do everything she likes. Her deal with Luna still stands, so, she was forced to make her move against Sylva, she does not like it but it must be done, so she did what she had to do.

"Skeleton Soldiers, rise."

Dark patches appeared out of thin air, and from these dark patches came out bony hands belonging to different daemons. These daemons were all strong daemons.

Dhampy could turn skeletons that are 20 levels higher than her so the power of her soldiers was obvious.

The Skeleton Soldiers' hands appeared seemingly out of nowhere grabbing Sylva's body in mid-air. She stopped a couple of inches away from Luna. With reddened eyes, Sylva looked at Luna like a lunatic she was out for blood.

And as she thrashed around, trying to get out of Dhampy's grasps, she activated her spatial attribute and was just about to teleport, when, Sylva's body suddenly couldn't take all the pressure and blood exploded out of her body.

From her head to toe, Sylva was drenched in blood despite the one who was stabbed. But, even against the pain, Sylva didn't break eye contact with Luna who was still oddly calm even in the current situation.

It was at this time that Lilith's voice finally cut through the commotion.

"Sylva, Dhampy, that is enough! You are causing a grand commotion in the village, do not trouble the others with your problems, and Sylva, you aren't even supposed to be moving around with your body! [Healing Light!] [Nature's Blessing!] Do you want to die!?

"Your life was granted to you by Sela who sacrificed herself to let you get away. Now, stop it, or else you won't be able to honor her."

Lilith activated her skills; both healing and lecturing skills were in full swing as she walked up to Sylva. Sylva turned her head to Lilith and her anger-filled face became docile and showed an apologetic and depressed expression.

Her lips began to tremble, she knew what her boss head said was true, and as she got torn between her rage and her sad emotions, the only thing she could do in the end was cry.

And as she cried, Lilith got to her, and despite the difference in height, even if Lilith was but a tiny child next to Sylva, the one who comforted Sylva was Lilith.

"Just cry it out."

Sylva was nothing but an 11-year-old child, she was powerful but she was not that strong mentally. In her eyes, the incident of Stella's death happened a little over a month ago.

Not even 40 days had passed, thus, seeing the one who caused the death of your sole friend and family, it was not impossible to see how Sylva would react like so.

"I'm sorry boss head for the trouble, big sis sorry for attacking you! Please don't hate meeee!"

"It's fine, you're just being aggravated…shh, shh, it's fine, I won't hate you."

And as she cried, she realized what she had just done and the next thing she did was apologize. She was a daemon but also a child, and even if Luna, her supposed sister was mature, they were both raised differently.

Luna listened to Sylva, she remembered something important and was just about to speak but was stopped by Lilith who gave her a look that says, "Not now."

The time for talk was not now and as Lilith felt that Sylva was starting to calm down, she had her body emit a sweet scent by activating the nature element. That scent placed Sylva to sleep after a few minutes passed.

"Dhampy, have Sylva rest in her room, I'll see to the trouble later, Luna, you are with me tonight."

Luna watched as Dhampy carry Sylva away, she had some questions but, in the end, was stopped by Lilith.

"Worry about that later, I'll oversee you guys, even so, focus on what we're about to do."

"Yes, Priestess. But, what even are we going to do?"

Lilith looked at Luna and said, "We're going to evolve."

"Excuse me?"

It is finally time for Lilith to start the plan and as this plan involved a lot of killing and danger, the best thing to do was up the power of her people and the best way to do that is to make them all evolve.

'Let's do this!'
