Chapter 264: Becoming a True Monster
"I must have truly beco a monster now!"
Recalling the scene of devouring humans earlier, it was still vivid in Li ng's mory.
Although he was sowhat mindful of it, Li ng did not feel disgusted.
The thrill of seizing power overwheld the discomfort of human consciousness.
Those six people could no longer wake up; they had completely turned into slaves of desire.
Their consciousness had been locked by Fraude's divine power due to their deep connection with him.
Li ng could only make use of waste and devour them.
After consuming the six, his attributes increased by approximately 5000 points in total.
In other words, each person contributed less than 1000 attribute points on average.
Although it wasn’t much, it was better than nothing.
Li ng didn’t care too much about his transformation.
He had long beco a monster, not just now.
Although he was strong, he was not yet strong enough.
If devouring could elevate him to the top of the ranking.
Then he would continue to devour until he beca the strongest in the world.
"Hmm..."
At this mont, Auriana let out a soft sound.
She opened her eyes and stared blankly at the ceiling.
After a while, she suddenly sat up in shock.
She touched her body, her chest, and felt her heartbeat.
She was still alive; she had not died.
As if rembering sothing, Auriana quickly looked to her side.
On the ground, Auriana saw her fallen husband.
She was about to crawl over, but her body trembled.
Auriana shakily lifted her head.
In her sight, that black-robed monster... her master was sitting by the bed.
"Do you feel sothing strange?"
Li ng's voice suddenly echoed in the room.
Sothing strange?
Auriana's expression froze, and her face showed a look of horror.
"M-Master, my contract with Fraude has been severed!"
Li ng looked down at the pale skin on Auriana's chest.
The clothing in that area was torn due to being pierced through.
Noticing her master's gaze, Auriana discreetly covered her chest.
"What, you don’t want to see?"
Auriana quickly shook her head.
She hurriedly let go of her hands.
"Auriana, from now on, you belong to !"
Auriana lowered her head calmly.
"Yes, Master, I am yours!"
Li ng grinned, leisurely gazing at Auriana's curvaceous figure.
At this mont, the others began to wake up as well.
Their reactions were the sa as Auriana's.
They sat up in shock and quickly checked their bodies.
Seeing they were unhard, they revealed looks of relief.
"Madam!"
Seeing his wife unhard, Enzos let out a sigh of relief.
"From now on, you are all free!"
The master's voice cald the elated six.
Although they had escaped Fraude's control.
They had fallen into the hands of an even more powerful monster.
What awaited them in the future was unknown.
Li ng took a cloth bag from his waist and tossed it in front of the six.
"There are so crystals inside, enough for you to return ho!"
When leaving the palace's underground space, Li ng had taken so crystals along the way.
Not many, but enough to cover future travels.
"Whether you go ho or pursue whatever you wish, it’s your freedom. When I need you, I will contact you again. Enzos, Auriana, Sandra, Theodore, Morris, Athena—you are now mine. Enjoy your future lives. This is the grace I grant you!"
After speaking, Li ng stood up and walked to the window.
"That's all. I'm not the owner of this house. You must leave, and so must I. Farewell!"
Waving his hand, Li ng's figure flashed and he jumped out the window.
Staring at the now-empty window, the six exchanged glances.
Auriana quickly got up and ran to the window.
Reaching the window, Auriana looked out into the night sky.
The streets outside were silent; nothing could be seen.
"What do you all plan to do next?"
Theodore was the first to break the silence in the room.
The six of them looked at each other.
"I must return ho. I haven’t been back in so many years, and I don’t even know if my ho still exists."
Although Morris said this, he knew deep down.
His ho was gone.
That place might still exist, but his territory had been destroyed by the Archbishop of Lust, Fraude.
But he had to go back, he had to return to his holand.
"Let’s go back. I don’t know why the master granted us freedom, but I suppose it’s because of our status. We are Saint-tier professionals. Returning to our countries will grant us land again. When the master needs us, we must prove our value. Otherwise, sothing unpleasant might happen."
As if rembering sothing, the six turned pale.
They recalled the scene of the master devouring people.
If they beca the master’s next al...
They couldn’t imagine such a despairing fate.
Enzos’ words resonated with everyone.
That night, darkness deepened.
The next morning, at Earl Bard’s estate.
In the pavilion of the courtyard, a tea party was underway.
"So, Sir Silver Mask plans to embark on a journey?"
Alisa set down her teacup and looked at Silver Mask.
"Yes, a round trip should take about two or three years."
Li ng lifted his teacup and drank it all in one go.
The scalding tea disappeared into his bottomless mouth.
This sight caused the people in the pavilion to exchange awkward looks.
Everyone from the estate was present.
Bard, Susan, Alisa, and the two sisters Emma and Eileen.
"Two or three years is quite a long ti. Sir Silver Mask must be going far away."
Bard gave a strained smile as he looked at Li ng.
Sir Silver Mask looked far too strange.
Bard was unsure how to interact with him.
"Yes, the Saint Biren Continent is quite far from Obenlo City."
Sir Silver Mask was heading to Saint Biren Continent?
A trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of those present.
A cross-continental journey was no ordinary feat. Most people would never experience such a journey in their lifetis.
Even among adventurers, only a handful had the ability to travel between continents.
A hint of envy appeared in Susan’s eyes.
If possible, she wanted to see the world.
But she couldn’t; she lacked the ability to travel freely between continents.
"Enough about . What happened after the recent turmoil?"
Li ng had spent considerable ti in the abandoned house.
By now, four days had passed since the chaos.
Bard sighed and shook his head.
"Although the Knight Order successfully repelled the Demon God cultists, the casualties among the inner city civilians were severe. Less than thirty percent survived. Tens of thousands of people perished."
