Forced to Sell Myself to the Female Lead After Killing the Male Lead

At this moment, Yuan'er had awakened physically, but her consciousness was still almost entirely drifting in a hazy void. She acted only according to her subconscious and the instincts of an Abyss Demon.

And an Abyss Demon's instinct was to hate every other race.

Any existence without the Power of Shadow of Silence was its enemy!

No, strictly speaking, even among those who possessed the Power of Shadow of Silence, Abyss Demons frequently slaughtered one another.

However, compared to their own kind, beings who wielded other systems of power attracted the attention of Abyss Demons far more easily.

In truth, Abyss Demons loathed Holy Aura even more than battle aura or mana.

As for divine power...

Their hatred for it was beyond comparison.

The reason Yuan'er did not attack Xiumu-Duke was partly because her subconscious was unwilling to do so.

The other reason was that there was currently a target with a much higher priority present.

After killing Benjamin and gradually emerging from her dazed state, Yuan'er's attention was immediately drawn to the golden radiance shining in the sky.

That dense divine power...

That sacred, inviolable golden light...

It constantly stimulated Yuan'er's mind.

It stimulated her instincts.

It filled her with unbearable agony, making her desperate to erase it from existence.

To humans, divine power was an incomparably warm force capable of healing the heart.

However, to Abyss Demons who possessed the Power of Shadow of Silence...

It was poison.

A deadly force capable of inflicting tremendous damage upon them.

—'Eliminate those pests who possess divine power. That is your greatest mission after your rebirth~'

Those words from her dream echoed once again within Yuan'er's mind.

As the whisper repeated itself over and over...

An overwhelming killing intent, bloodlust, and madness erupted within Yuan'er's mismatched eyes.

The black Power of Shadow of Silence surrounding her, along with the strange black liquid, began to boil violently.

Completely ignoring Xiumu-Duke, who posed no threat whatsoever, Yuan'er's gaze abruptly locked onto the silver figure in the sky.

The next moment—

Black light exploded.

The pink-haired girl leaped into the air, transforming into a black meteor that shot straight toward the heavens.

—

Meanwhile...

High above the sky...

Because of the sudden arrival of the black light, the battle between Welt-Sislov and Mengxi temporarily came to a halt.

Both of them immediately fixed their eyes upon the unexpected intruder.

Neither of them could afford to ignore the sudden appearance of a Demon King-class existence.

They could only watch the pink-haired girl warily, guarding against whatever she intended to do.

At the same time...

Mengxi couldn't help but knit her brows tightly.

Golden light radiated from her right eye, which seemed to be showing faint signs of collapsing.

Meanwhile...

Apparently sensing the abnormality in Mengxi's condition, Sakura inside her became uneasy and asked worriedly,

"Mengxi, are you alright?"

Hearing the voice inside her heart...

A bitter smile appeared on Mengxi's breathtakingly beautiful face.

'Not really...'

The terrifying blessing of divine power could dramatically increase one's strength within a very short period of time.

However...

That increase in power ultimately came from an external source.

It was never truly her own.

And because it relied on borrowed power, it naturally had a time limit.

This state rapidly consumed her soul power.

Once her soul power became insufficient, the transformation could no longer be maintained.

Thanks to Sister Yumo's help, her strength had reached Mid Sixth-Tier, while her soul power had also increased dramatically.

However...

Her opponent this time—the Heavenly Punishment Holy Church's Cult Leader, Welt-Sislov—was no ordinary individual.

Even after suffering severe injuries at the beginning of the battle, he still retained formidable strength.

With her current abilities...

Defeating him remained extremely difficult.

Moreover...

As the battle dragged on, her soul power would continue to be depleted.

Meanwhile, Welt-Sislov's body was steadily recovering.

As one side weakened while the other grew stronger...

Her chances of victory became increasingly slim.

'I have to end this battle as quickly as possible...'

However...

The arrival of that Demon King-class existence completely disrupted Mengxi's plans.

Without knowing whether the newcomer was friend or foe, Mengxi dared not act rashly, lest she end up surrounded from both sides.

Under normal circumstances...

A Demon King-class existence would undoubtedly be her enemy.

But...

Because Sister Yumo existed as an exception...

Mengxi honestly wasn't sure whether this humanoid Demon King-class being would actually attack her.

'Should I simply retreat...?'

Mengxi couldn't help pondering.

After all, the moment the Demon King-class girl entered Wind Facing City, she had already shattered the barrier that had sealed off the battlefield.

Retreating was no longer impossible.

"Miss Mengxi, let's retreat first! If this continues, the situation will become extremely unfavorable for us! Withdraw toward the Blizzard Knights! Even if Welt-Sislov chases after us, we can fight him together with them! As for that cat and Marquis Xiumu-Duke, there's nothing you can do for them anymore!"

Sakura urged anxiously from within her.

However—

Before Mengxi could answer...

An eruption of black light suddenly exploded below!!

In the next instant—

Mengxi's pupils contracted violently.

An overwhelming aura of terror came crashing toward her.

The black meteor overflowing with suffocating pressure and murderous intent rapidly expanded within Mengxi's vision.

?!!

'Not good!'

For a brief moment, an overwhelming sense of dread surged into Mengxi's mind, causing the breathtaking silver-haired girl to tremble all over.

Strictly speaking...

This was the very first time Mengxi had directly experienced the terrifying pressure and killing intent of a Demon King-class existence.

That Demon King-class girl should have been weaker than Welt-Sislov.

Yet the pressure she radiated was something Welt-Sislov could never compare to.

In fact...

As the black light rapidly approached, even the golden divine power surrounding Mengxi began to rage uncontrollably.

An unprecedented sense of crisis caused Mengxi to hold her breath.

However...

Mengxi was, after all, someone tempered by countless battles.

Naturally, she would never simply wait for death.

The next moment—

She hurriedly raised her sword across her chest.

Given the girl's terrifying speed, Mengxi knew she couldn't dodge.

She could only receive the attack head-on.

'Polaris—Defensive Sword Formation!'

Without holding anything back, Mengxi immediately unleashed her strongest defensive skill.

The next instant—

As waves of golden divine light rippled outward...

Ten golden longswords suddenly materialized around Mengxi.

Guided by the sword in her hand, they immediately converged before her.

The phantom of an enormous golden shield appeared in front of her.

Meeting the incoming black light head-on.

Originally, the sword formation contained only four energy swords.

But now...

Empowered by divine power, Mengxi, whose strength had reached Peak Seventh Tier, successfully summoned ten golden longswords.

Without question...

The defensive power of the formation had increased tremendously.

However...

Facing Mengxi's defense, a savage gleam burst from Yuan'er's mismatched eyes.

Terrifying Power of Shadow of Silence gathered around Yuan'er's right arm.

Drawn together by that immense force...

The black light condensed...

Transforming into a spiraling black spear.

"BOOM!!!"

Black radiance and golden divine power collided violently.

Ferocious energy waves and crushing pressure instantly swept across the entire city.

The knights who had only just entered the city and were preparing to battle the Heavenly Punishment Holy Church were instantly overcome with horror after being struck by the shockwave.

One after another, they looked toward the sky in fear...

At the two supreme forces violently clashing overhead.

The Polaris—Defensive Sword Formation truly was an extraordinarily powerful defensive technique.

It was one of the rare divine arts possessed by the Asumos Church.

However...

Mengxi was ultimately only at Peak Seventh Tier.

Furthermore, after fighting for such a long time, her strength had already been greatly diminished.

Yuan'er, on the other hand...

Was a genuine Demon King-class existence.

Although she fought purely through brute force and instinct...

Her power was absolutely not to be underestimated.

After only a brief stalemate...

Countless cracks spread across the golden sword shield.

Then—

It shattered.

Exploding into countless particles of golden light.

Mengxi herself was blasted backward by the force of the explosion.

Meanwhile...

Seeing this scene, Welt-Sislov's face immediately filled with wild delight.

When he realized the girl was Yuan'er, he had briefly worried that she might attack him in order to protect the Duke Family.

After all...

The first thing she had done upon appearing was kill Benjamin.

But now...

It seemed he had worried for nothing.

No matter who she had once been...

Now that she had become a Demon King-class existence, she was a servant of the Demon God.

Perhaps...

She had been moved by his unwavering faith?

Had the Demon King... or perhaps the Child of God... sent this Demon King-class existence to aid him?

Heh...

Regardless...

Now that the Child of Destiny had been attacked by a Demon King-class existence...

If he struck from behind at this very moment...

He would certainly be able to kill the Child of Destiny once and for all.

Thinking this, a sinister smile spread across Welt-Sislov's face.

As the smile appeared...

An incomparably dense aura of power silently gathered around the blood-red scythe in his hand.

However...

The moment that dark emerald-green battle aura condensed—

The pink-haired girl who had just blasted Mengxi away suddenly trembled.

She slowly turned her head toward Welt-Sislov.

Her red-and-blue mismatched eyes overflowed with bone-chilling killing intent.

??!

The next moment—

Under Welt-Sislov's stunned gaze...

The girl slowly opened her mouth.

Endless black Power of Shadow of Silence instantly gathered within it...

Welt-Sislov: "Huh?!"
