The Girls Are All Coveting Me

However, Rephya stepped forward, and the Divine Power emanated from her.

The Demon Power, usually rampant, suddenly became obedient like a well-behaved child, submitting to the girl's command.

It's as though it encountered an irresistible terror, instantly restoring the girl's rationality.

Taking advantage of the moment, the girl consolidated the Fallen Power onto the Star Realm Armor, transforming it into a Flesh and Blood Armor filled with the violent aesthetics of demons.

"Holy shit!"

Tiffany, who prided herself on her broad experience, had never seen anything like this.

Can Demon Power be easily controlled this way?

Tiffany had seen other Extraordinary individuals.

Her friend had absorbed Extraordinary Traits with Demon Power.

She once described it as:

"If absorbing Extraordinary Traits is like dating, then a lover with matching conditions is the most suitable Extraordinary Path.

Just as there are differences in beauty and ugliness, the feedback varies greatly from people with different talents.

Of course, if your skill is strong enough, you can force control on the other party, or even push them to do things directly.

Some relatively meek Extraordinary Powers might comply after a few times, but Demon Power is different."

Five years ago, Tiffany asked, "How different is it?"

Her friend shrugged and said, "There are few Extraordinary Traits as extremely aggressive as Demon Power; usual Extraordinary Powers soften after being forced a few times.

But Demon Power is different; if you harbor ill thoughts, it may flatter you, but given a chance to get close, the first thing it might do is bite off what's below."

But now, what did Tiffany see?

The virtuous maiden has turned into a flirtatious imp?

It's too outrageous.

Today's events have surpassed her comprehension.

Yet… her feeling that she might survive became unprecedentedly intense.

"What else do you need? I'll give it my all."

Chloe gave a sour look at the Princess Swordswoman and said, "Weren't you half-skeptical before?"

"Who, me? Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Tiffany denied thrice, "Aren't we teammates? How could I not trust you?"

Everyone's expressions were subtly nuanced.

Especially the girls like Aisha and Miseria, from aristocratic families.

In their memories, the Princess Swordswoman from the Locke Empire was always one of those "other people's children."

Not quite as a test, but if mentioned often enough, it creates an illusion.

It's like automatically embellishing one's image in their minds.

But now they've successfully seen through it.

Miseria adjusted her glasses and said, "If the people of Locke knew their swordswoman was like this in private, they'd certainly feel like the sky has fallen."

Tiffany widened her eyes and said, "We've fought side by side as friends; do you really intend to expose me once we get out?"

Chloe shrugged and said, "Depends on how you act."

Tiffany gave a meaningful glance at the man.

In their time working together, how could she not see that this man was the leader of the team?

Clearly, he did not want their secretive squad to be exposed to outside events.

She then spoke seriously, "Don't worry, I know you don't want to be exposed. Once we leave the Maze, find an opportunity to set a restriction on me. If I ever want to reveal your secret, you can backlash me through the restriction."

"Really."

"Then I am ready to act."

"???"

Suddenly Chloe extended her hand, and with Tiffany showing a speechless expression, pressed on her forehead directly.

[Thought Steel Seal] was activated, and layers of imprints began to emerge.

"You're not even going to talk first, just act directly."

Tiffany's expression was extremely agitated, but she had no intention of resisting.

Chloe looked at the Princess Swordswoman with a half-smile and said, "We aren't in a relationship built on trust, how could we not keep an extra hand?"

"I've been so obedient, not resisting when you planted imprints on me, you should feel slightly more at ease now."

Tiffany widened her clear eyes, looking at them.

Rephya softly opened her mouth: "I've always trusted you."

Then she withdrew the sword tip that had been aimed at Tiffany's heart.

Aisha pouted: "You still don't trust us enough."

She discreetly crushed the sword-blade she had aimed at Tiffany in her palm.

Teresa said nothing but snapped her fingers, and the Poison bug flying near Tiffany was retrieved to her hand.

Fratiss quietly canceled the [Castling] mark that was on Tiffany but was unnecessary for protection, and departed from Chloe's side.

Lilith and Miseria, standing amongst the group, slowly dissipated, and in the corner, the two of them walked out together.

Fufu chuckled, her body suddenly turning into ink-like Shadow Soldiers, and the shadow beneath Tiffany slightly wriggled as Fufu slowly emerged.

Abigail glanced at the swordswoman, waved her hand, and the skin before the swordswoman's heart slightly ached, as a seed floated onto the girl's palm.

Chloe patted the swordswoman's shoulder, and the Simulated Earth Divine Rune covering her suddenly became more complex.

Tiffany felt her power rise a notch but inside she felt painfully cold.

"I only sensed 4 presences targeting me... didn't expect all of you were hiding."

The Princess Swordswoman thought of herself as someone who had experienced the trials of life, but at this moment, she felt ashamed and filled with unspeakable fear because of everyone's actions.

Elite.

No!

The elite among the elite!

From the beginning, this group had never truly trusted her as an outsider.

They always kept a trump card.

Fearing that if she ever entertained thoughts she shouldn't, she'd find herself dead in the wilderness.

No kidding.

Because many of the moves applied to themselves by this group were not noticed by her.

Once she acts, even though she is a Demigod, there's a high chance she'd die right here.

Nini and Heisha watched the scene in front of them with smiles.

This is exactly the student they painstakingly taught.

How could someone who managed to survive until now be a naive youngster who knows nothing?

Everyone here is a cunning boy/girl.

"It seems we still have room for further cooperation."

Chloe said with a smile.

"Good... very good... we are partners who can fight side by side."

"How could you do this to me?!" Tiffany's veins pulsed madly, but she sighed and said, "After all, you're just flowers in a greenhouse; this time you taught me a lesson."

"Same to you," Lilith said coldly, "You should keep that thing in your arms well; once it explodes, we'll all be in danger."

"Only in danger?" Tiffany regretfully took out a crystal core, the core of a Demigod-class Demon, engraved with dense spells.

It has only one effect: activate the power on it to trigger a Vacuum Marrow Burst.

Hmm, it could probably kill a nearby Demigod along with herself in the explosion.

Princess Swordswoman Tiffany was also a ruthless person.

"Alright, now we can be a little more open with each other." Tiffany sighed and said, "Just tell me directly what you want me to do."

"On the 36th floor, use the Sky-splitting Blade to leave four marks at different locations."

"What are you planning? Aren't you supposed to take the Extraordinary Traits and ascend directly?"

"No, not enough." Chloe said lightly, "We need to concentrate a small portion of the Maze Monsters from the entire floor and deal with them."

"Are you joking? It's not that easy! And they won't gather together for you to kill."

"Don't worry about that, just watch."

Tiffany shrugged and nodded in agreement.

Then...

...

"Why the heck?"

Tiffany looked dazedly at the scene in front of her.

In one corner of the southeast direction of the 36th floor, Maze Monsters were piled up everywhere.

Uh, the reason they're piled up is, of course... they're all dead.

"Isn't this still the Voodoo Path?"

Tiffany felt her understanding was being refreshed again and again.

"Don't these monsters know how to dodge? And, what's with this coverage area and attack range? Isn't it a bit too much?"

Chloe smiled without saying anything.

What effect would the Thousand-Mile Eye for detection combined with the large-area spreading poison from Fragrance, paired with the Voodoo Path's control of voodoo, have?

Those who understand, understand.

Teresa, who had unknowingly put on a special mask, exhaled lightly and said:

"If you must find a method capable of destroying enemies on a large scale, even possessing legion-level destructive power at a low level, poison must be the most cost-effective one. Isn't this quite normal?"

"Normal, my foot!" Tiffany felt she couldn't communicate well with these people, "You killed so many Maze Monsters, you might not be planning to..."

"Hmm, the quantity is about right, it's time to cultivate [Corpse Poison]."

Different from the corpse poison in Chloe's past knowledge.

The corpse poison of the Voodoo Path requires large-scale infusion of fresh life to generate advanced toxins.

The more fresh life used to cultivate the toxin, the higher the Life Sequence, the higher the essence of the corpse poison.

There were even top-ranking experts on the Voodoo Path who used the bodies of deities as toxins, nurturing [Divine Pus] capable of poisoning even gods.

Currently, these Maze Monsters certainly couldn't achieve that, but the countless number of Maze Monsters in the Abyss of Woe...

Was enough for the cultivated corpse poison to kill stronger enemies from a distance for Teresa.

After all, the damage was not determined by her, but by the bodies used to cultivate the corpse poison.

Tiffany was already uncertain about how many times she should be shocked.

So much so that when Fratiss, Miseria, and Fufu successively acquired the Extraordinary Traits and ascended afterward, she couldn't even feel surprised anymore.

Nothing else.

Just experienced hands.

Eaten too much Versailles, it stopped working.

Floor 37, 39... In the blink of an eye, they advanced to the 45th floor.

The strength of the Maze Monsters had unknowingly reached Sequence Six, with some Sequence Five Maze Monsters also appearing.

Chloe took a deep breath and looked at Teresa, saying, "From this floor onwards, you'll be the main performer."

Teresa nodded.

The reason she was eager to have the surgery was to still be able to deliver explosive damage at times like these, wasn't it?

Sequence Six Maze Monsters?

What a coincidence.

She had just cleared a large number of monsters from the corners of the floor and cultivated a batch of precious corpse poison.

It's time to showcase the elegance of corpse poison.

However, Chloe suddenly turned to Laura and said, "Senior, you should prepare to use the Holy Relic."

"..." Laura, smiling quietly, said, "When did you find out?"

"The scent of a deity, no one is more familiar than me, yet in the end, senior you also chose this path."

"Do you blame me? Even though Morton and the others told me to pursue my dreams when they died."

"How could I?" Chloe shook her head and said, "Sometimes, people's thoughts change, but at least I'm sure of one thing..."

He looked at this senior, who had always been so laid-back, and said, "You chose to become a Chosen One not to wallow in revenge."

Laura chuckled and said, "Who can say for sure? I can't even figure it out myself."
