Chapter 74: 73. Ruler

[Are you not going to join? Your every form is LVL 97 after you worked me to the limits.]

"Aren't you afraid that I might die?"

[You're strong enough to withstand that attack, I think you're capable of annihilating them if you utilize your forms.]

Lilith overlooked the situation; she was observing the Scorching Forest and the Hunters moving about. She looked at herself and found that she was naked, thus recreated her kimono again.

"The daemons are killing them efficiently, that's nice; that means we're stronger than them. Though it would be more gratifying if our numbers weren't reduced to this state."

According to Alpha's records, she had a grand total of 379 daemons remaining; most of them were Praeries.

"My MP at this form is down to 10%, I can't fight at my current state, and I can't make my move just yet, this is a foreign land, and… "human system" is rather complicated. I don't like fighting them head-on. Have you seen me fighting a human before? No, right? I only bomb them because it's tricky to fight them."

Lilith once asked Letza why humans were bestowed with systems and why they were the only race unbounded with the LVL cap. The answer she received was simple, "I made them resemble me."

The first beings she created were daemons, then humans. Like a mother who favors a child, Letza granted humans the ability to have limitless potential and even intelligence to match that.

At first, Letza loved the humans, but soon they searched for the love of Gods that did not exist and even began warring amongst themselves in their name. She granted them intelligence so that they'll learn right from wrong, but the only thing they could see was benefits; thus, war breaks out, killing everyone and everything which got in their way.

They used the system that was supposed to their way to protect their kind to slaughter one another.

'So, if that is the case, then why did you bring the accursed system to this world?'

'Because they will die if I don't give them the power to protect themselves from my plans to revitalize the world.'

In the end, Letza was too kind for her own good. Even when humans cursed at her for doing nothing to help them, she still stepped forth and saved them.

'That power you gave them is going to make this take over a lot harder, you know, you Useless Merciful Goddess.'

Lilith smiled at the thought of the merciful Goddess watching over the beings she created fight to the death. Right now, Lilith could vaguely see why a Goddess became an alcoholic.

She wanted to laugh, but seeing her daemons killed by skilled hunters was not something she appreciated. Chief was getting every human present; he was already at LVL 196, thus the slaughter.

But he was only one warrior and couldn't control the flow of the fight alone. He could focus on one area and nothing more. Lilith needs to cover for him for this to end in their success.

Chief was heading North, so he will clear that area without a problem. Lilith could also see fleeing hunters, but they were killed by the daemons returning to the Village.

"I can't use my Cursed Purgatory Dragon; my poison is too lethal, it might kill my people, so I can only do this the old fashion way. Now, I need to quickly get out there; let's see if I can do this…"

Boom!

Lilith gathered oxygen and combusted it using her flames as she dove from high altitudes.

She was fast, like a meteor coming down from space.

"HaH! I got you!"

A Hunter who saw Lilith's movements appeared before her. It was a woman who held a sword, she got ready to cleave through the little loli coming down without any hesitation, and as Lilith reached 10 meters away, the Hunter swung her blade.

But Lilith merely smirked. She laughed at the Hunter's cute attempts, "Nice try."

With a little bit of twist, Lilith's somersaulted, and halfway from a full circle, her body morphed and became a Tribulation Leopard; a wide smirk appeared, and as she avoided the attack, she whispered, "Got ya bitch!"

Slash!

Lilith managed to slash through the Hunter's armor with her sharp claws innately coated with lightning. And as she activated her Lightning Paws, Lilith kicked the ground and began the annihilation!

Most of the trees were burning, but none of it burning down. The temperature was increasing, and under the brightly lit scarlet forest, blood became its accompanying substance.

~Boss head, this is Luna; we have arrived in the Village. Is there anything for me and Big Sis Dhampy to do?~

~Hooh, you can link minds? That's great; it would be convenient if you were by my side, but it cannot be helped; also, are there daemons with you?~

~Ah, yes, some from the Army and Big Sis Dhampy.~

~That's great. Head west and then circle the area killing the humans to the North. I am around the south; I'll flank the eastern side of the forest. I saw something I really want over there.~

~Understood... be careful Boss Head.~

~I have the Goddess by my side; I will be fine.~

Currently, it was not the time to talk, Lilith wanted to kill someone over at the east, and as she weaved through the burning trees, Lilith smiled as she felt her heart beating in trepidation.

From one Hunter to the other, she was killing them one by one. Alpha was closely managing Lilith's use of mana, and she was even telling her what move set would help efficiently take down an enemy.

Lilith would listen to her words, and without any hesitation, she would either kill or incapacitate the enemy. The daemons who saw this would cheer for their Priestess and then deliver the final blow with a laugh.

They celebrated their Priestess' awakening with slaughter, and with their bellow, they announced their glee. 

The Priestess lives! The Ruler RISES! They began an unstoppable rampage.

'Oh my, so this is how it feels to kill so many humans…. I am liking this!' Lilith's screws slightly came loose.

At this point, Lilith was intoxicated with the killing.
