Chapter 15: Chapter 15
'Offering a sacrifice will gain you my blessing?!'
Yumo naturally did not approve of this statement, but strictly speaking, she had indeed granted ordinary human beings power.
More than five hundred years ago, when her consciousness had just merged with the Demon Temple, her heart was still quite unstable.
As long as those who invaded the influence range of The Temple did not show obvious hostility, Yumo would not send out Abyssal Demons to eliminate them.
Even for some Adventures or young people, Yumo would guide them into the Temple, giving them food and a small amount of Shadow Power, allowing them to leave Winter Forest.
It seemed that after that, rumors about the [ Demon lord ] began to spread outside.
since then, some foolish people had entered Winter Forest from time to time, wanting to offer sacrifices to empower themselves, They dug out people's hearts, burned them, and made Yumo feel uncomfortable...
She tried to warn these idiots many times, but they just wouldn't listen and kept bringing slaves for sacrifices to Winter Forest.
However, most of these people and their sacrifices died directly in the outer or middle part of Winter Forest. Very few people could enter the influence range of Demon Temple.
At the same time, in order to "satisfy" themselves and obtain powerful abilities and skills such as eternal life or strength, the sacrifices chosen by these so-called believers were people with extremely strong talents and powerful soul energy...
'Choosing these talented people from the common people and sending them to their death in the Winter Forest?! It's just idiotic!'
'In this day and age, the strength of young people in the Ancita continent is constantly declining. You 'brain-dead people' are definitely responsible!!'
Yumo couldn't help but curse in her heart.
In the final trial to charge at Winter Forest, the protagonist's team needed a strong army! These children with strong soul power might become extremely powerful combat forces in the future. However, they died inexplicably like this...
'If the protagonist's army can't even defeat the outer Abyssal Demons in the future? Then, won't I cry to death?'
'Moreover, using children as sacrifices is simply intolerable.'
'The more I think about it, the angrier I become!'
Yumo's inner thoughts were not calm but rather filled with anger.
As her mood rapidly worsened, the demons outside the Temple gradually revealed their ferocious claws.
The bloody butterflies floating around Bilomu and the others also became restless, and Yumo's voice once again echoed in their minds.
"I'll accept the sacrifices you brought, and in return for your efforts, I'll give you a 'reward'..."
As her voice echoed in their minds, the bloody butterfly, which was the carrier of Yumo's consciousness, slowly floated toward these 'believers.'
'What?!'
'rewards?!'
'Is The Demon Lord going to give us power?!'
"oooh~Thank you, Great Demon Lord!!!"
After excitedly shouting, Bilomu became extremely flushed and looked even cringier.
He tried raising his right hand while watching the bloody butterfly fluttering in front of him.
The bloody butterfly soon landed on the back of his hand, while other 'believers' behind him imitated his actions, reaching out to catch the butterflies.
For those who didn't react in time, the butterfly simply landed on their heads.
For a moment, the 'believers' kneeling in the center of the hall had intimate contact with at least one butterfly.
As the wolf caught sight of the scene unfolding before her, she couldn't resist displaying a subtle smirk, mocking the situation.
Of course, these joyfully delusional 'believers' didn't notice the strangeness in the wolf's gaze.
Well, strictly speaking, they didn't have the courage to look directly into the wolf's bloody-red pupils.
Ordinary people don't have the courage to meet the gaze of a Demon King existence.
...
'Is this for real!?'
'Will I finally obtain the long-sought eternal life?'
'Will I become a saint rank or even a deity?'
Gazing at the butterfly on the back of his hand, as bright as blood, Bilomu couldn't help but fantasize about his bright future.
After successfully obtaining power, he would definitely gain a higher position within the Divine punishment sect.
Just as Bilomu was lost in his fantasies,
The bloody butterflies on their bodies gradually emitted bursts of crimson light.
Under the excited gazes of the sect members, the red light became more intense, even gradually enveloping their bodies.
But as the red light grew stronger, Bilomu and the others' expressions suddenly changed.
Because they were shocked to find that they did not obtain any power from the bloody butterflies.
Instead,
Their own magic power, aura, energy, soul power, and even vitality started to flow out of their bodies toward the bloody butterflies into the red light?!!
'What?! Isn't this supposed to give us power?!'
'What is happening?!'
"My Lord what is ...!!"
Suddenly, the excitement on Bilomu's and the others' faces completely disappeared, replaced by unparalleled confusion and heart-wrenching terror.
'Didn't we just offer the highest sacrifice to the Demon lord? Why did the Demon lord take away our vitality?'
This goes against what we are taught in the divine punishment sect!
As their vitality was taken away, a sharp, excruciating pain surged into their brains, making the members of the sect cry out in ghostly wails, scaring the black-robed "slaves" outside the Temple to tremble.
But the Abyssal Demons, led by Limo, let out joyful howls.
For them,
Today they can have an extra meal~
"No! My lord! Wh-why..."
Bilomu looked up to the sky in despair and unwillingness, tremblingly raised his right hand,
However, before he could finish speaking,
The power within them continued to drain even faster,
And in the next moment,
Under the horrified gaze of many black-robed slaves behind him, those from the Divine Punishment Sect, all turned into withered corpses,
weakly falling to the ground. The wailing that filled the entire Temple's hall abruptly stopped.
The entire Temple returned to calm strange and eerie silence with no sound.
The giant white wolf showed an astonished expression,
Looking disappointedly at the bodies on the ground,
"*Howl*, I... I don't want to eat jerky!!!"
Her mother seemed to sense her thoughts as angry butterflies flew toward the giant wolf's face, causing her to panic and fall back onto the ground, gasping for breath.
For Limo, she always felt very aggrieved that her mother didn't let her eat human flesh,
'Why can other Abyssal Demons do it, but I can't?'
'Mother is a bully, *sob*~~'
The giant wolf pulled her ears down in frustration,
--
At the same time, outside Demon Temple, dozens of members of the Divine Punishment Sect responsible for guarding the rear and preventing slaves from escaping heard the screams coming from inside the Temple and their expressions suddenly changed! A feeling of fear suddenly enveloped their hearts.
As one member informed the others of what they saw, an endless fear flooded over them like a bursting dam, 𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘦𝑤𝘦𝑏𝓃ℴ𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝑚
"Not good!! The situation has changed! We need to retreat!!"
After glancing at each other, the rear team of dozens of people did not hesitate to turn and flee,
However, just as they turned around, a gray-haired little girl appeared in front of them,
"I'm sorry, But Mommy didn't say anything about letting you go, so..."
And in the next moment,
An emerald energy rose up under their feet, soaring into the sky...
.....
As the emerald energy rose from the ground, those who were planning to escape were suddenly enveloped by it.
Before they could even utter a plea for mercy, they were burned to ashes by the scorching heat and completely dissipated emerald light.
The immense pressure immediately swept over them, causing the slaves at the entrance of the main Temple to tremble uncontrollably.
Blood unconsciously flowed out of their body, and those with insufficient strength or weak stamina fell to the ground and fainted.
Even those who could withstand this pressure were forced to kneel on the ground, staring in terror at the grey-haired little girl who suddenly appeared.
These children, being victims themselves, understood the immense power wielded by the members of the Divine Punishment Sect. Specifically, they were well aware of two exceptionally strong experts who had reached the formidable level of six-level.
However, such experts were easily killed by the grey-haired little girl.
Moreover, the pressure emanating from her aura...
This girl was definitely a demon...
After coming to this conclusion, the survivors shuddered with fear and stared at the grey-haired little girl with a frightened look, afraid of becoming her next target.
Amidst their worried expressions, a young girl wearing worn-out leather clothes and walking barefoot approached, taking one step at a time.
As the little girl approached, their inner tension skyrocketed like a rocket.
However, the little girl only sneered disdainfully at the fearful eyes of these "slaves."
Then, under the bewildered gaze of the crowd, the little girl walked past them and went straight into the temple.
"Boring creatures,"
the little girl said with a contemptuous look in her emerald-colored beautiful eyes.
If it weren't for her mother's forbiddance, she would have cleaned up the trashes that had entered the Temple long ago.
She wouldn't spare them just because they were young and talented...
Rather, these guys with strong soul power were even more capable of evoking her instinctual ferocity in the depths of her soul.
Even the two small birds perched on her hairpin issued hostile screams toward the slaves.
'Talented?'
'More reason to be killed!'
And when the grey-haired little girl walked into the Temple,
Lying under a stone pillar in the distance, the pitiful snow-white giant wolf stood up excitedly and looked toward the grey-haired little girl, behind whom its large tail was shaking rapidly like a propeller, after being scolded by Yumo.
Without hesitation, the giant wolf bounded toward the grey-haired little girl...
"Awoooooo! Liyu! Liyu You're back!!"
Upon hearing the wolf's greeting, the grey-haired little girl, Liyu, smiled and the contempt and coldness in her emerald eyes vanished, leaving behind warmth and a touch of helplessness.
"I'm back, sister"
The next moment, to the amazement of the survivors, gathered at the Temple gate, The once ferocious and fearsome giant wolf now displayed a gentle demeanor, as she humbly nuzzled her head against the little girl and affectionately lowered her own head in greeting.
Liyu happily held onto the giant wolf's furry head and rubbed her face against it.
The six-meter-tall wolf and the little girl with their faces close together left the survivors stunned.
However, their staring clearly irritated Limo. After feeling their sharp gazes for a while, she frowned slightly and looked displeased at the people at the door of the Temple.
coldness appeared in her bloody-red eyes.
"*Aw-oo-oo-oo! Aw-oo! * What are you looking at? Don't disturb me and my little sister!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a strong and violent Shadow force burst out from the wolf's body, instantly giving the survivors an unbearable sense of fear in their souls.
In an instant, everyone fell unconscious.
Of course, even so, Limo had shown mercy.
After all, with her strength, just her aura alone could easily crush the souls of these ordinary people. The aura of a "Demon King" was not something that creatures below the sixth Level could bear.
However, Limo's actions toward the survivors without permission still made Yumo slightly unhappy.
A bloody butterfly flew slowly to the giant wolf's side and sent Yumo's reprimand to Limo's ears, making her shiver.
"Limo! You unleashed your aura without considering the consequences again! What if you harmed those talented people?"
"Awuwuwu~"
After being scolded, the giant wolf's eyes no longer had the coldness from before.
It lowered its head with a pitiful expression and even hid behind her little sister, weakly saying,
"Mommy, I, I didn't mean it."
"You... ,next time you're not allowed to act on your own!"
"Wuwu~ I know."
"sigh..."
'Truly a troublesome child.'
Seeing this, Yumo sighed helplessly in her heart, and then the bloody-colored butterflies slowly flew to Liyu's side.
"you are back, Liyu."
"Yes."
Seeing the bloody butterflies fly in front of her, Liyu elegantly smiled and performed a very standard curtsey.
"I'm back, Mother."
"Mm, welcome back."
Yumo smiled contentedly.
Crimson energy slowly rippled around the bloody butterflies and turned into an energy arm, gently stroking Liyu's small head.
The latter also enjoyed her mother's touch very much, and her jade-green eyes unconsciously radiated with happiness.
Seeing her sister being petted by their mother, Limo suddenly poked her head out behind Liyu.
Then, her red eyes immediately rippled with a layer of ripples as she cowered her ears and looked at Yumo, acting cutely.
This made Yumo somewhat speechless.
But in the end, she still reluctantly used the Shadow Power to create another energy arm and gently stroke the giant wolf's head.
"Awu~~"
Being petted, Limo even wagged her tail happily.
Looking at the two adorable sisters in front of her, Yumo couldn't help but feel a myriad of emotions in her heart, and even a sense of accomplishment.
Thinking back to the past,
When these two little creatures first entered the Temple, they were so weak that they were on the verge of death.
'If I hadn't given them some power in time, the little white wolf and little Huiling bird would have died in the snowstorm of the winter forest...'
'But now?' fre ewebn ovel
'These two little things, who were once so frail, have grown into Abyssal Demons of the 'Demon King level.'
'Just thinking about my overall education, I feel quite accomplished.'
Yumo felt very pleased in her heart.
'Um...'
However, there is one thing that troubles her,
That is the problem of how these two little creatures address her.
Because at the time Yumo was just beginning to learn the common languages of the various races on the Ancita continent and was not familiar with these languages.
She didn't know what the little creatures meant when they called her something.
At first, Yumo didn't understand, so she let Liyu and Limo call her "Mamu".
But as her vocabulary increased, Yumo finally understood the true meaning of this word...
"Mommy?"
'Wait a minute!!'
'I'm a grown man.'
'Um,'
'Although I am now just a consciousness,'
'But my masculine consciousness is still strong, you know? After learning the meaning of "Mamu", I naturally didn't want the children to continue calling me that'
'However, these two little children refused to change and kept insisting on calling her "Mommy", even crying and saying that they felt like she was their mother'
No matter how Yumo tried to teach them to say the word "Father", they refused to accept it, leaving Yumo feeling very frustrated.
In the end, she had no choice but to give up and sigh helplessly.
"Ah..."
Thinking about this, Yumo couldn't help but sigh.
'If someday I can create a physical body, I must make it strong and handsome! Let these two little brats call me "Daddy" obediently! Hmph~'
'Well...'
'But I've been called "Mother" and "Mommy" for hundreds of years, will it be a bit strange if they suddenly call me "Daddy" or "Father"....?'
Yumo couldn't help but feel a little conflicted.
