Eustace‘s expressions darkened the moment he heard that.
“What did you say?”
“You won’t sign? So you’re saying you want to serve that piece of garbage like Lorelei, huh? Are you going to betray me?”
He released his aura, malicious intent so overpowering that it felt like a large boulder. After that, he swung his palm and slapped her.
However, Lila seemed to have expected this. She leaped from the ground and dodged Eustace’s attack.
“I don’t want to be the slave of someone. I enjoy freedom! Young Lord, I served you because her highness requested I support you for three thousand years! Three thousand years have passed, but you’re forcing me to sign a soul contract now?”
“I’m truly sorry. I simply can’t agree with this!” she said before running off to the west.
“Hmph! Do you really think you can be free after three thousand years?” Eustace lunged towards her with a cold sneer.
Three thousand years ago, Eustace was no match for Lila at all.
Now that it had passed, his cultivation level had long exceeded hers-his powers even more apparent when he attacked her out of anger. As the sword came slamming down, Lila had to block his attack while escaping.
Ding!
Lila used a sword as well, but it instantly broke in half.
Pshhh!
Lila’s entire arm was cut off just like that. The difference in strength between the two was evident.
“Lila, I’m giving you another chance. Will you sign the contract or not?” Eustace asked with a chilling expression.
“Without freedom, I’d rather die!” Lila said, determined. “l’m beginning to regret listening to her highness, supporting someone like you. Maybe Big Sis made the right choice. You don’t deserve to be the seed.”
“I’ll kill you!”
Eustace was even more intent to kill, his sword glistening in the light as he brandished it. It looked like it was falling from the skies as it slashed towards Lila’s neck.
Lila knew that she wouldn’t be escaping death. She simply closed her eyes and awaited her fate.
Boom!
The ground started shaking.
After all, the sword was very strong, it could destroy the mountain on the other side. After a slash by a weapon of such magnitude, it was obvious how a person would’ve had ended.
“Run!” Cordelia shouted and brought out a secret weapon. Along with Resha, they helped Lila up and picked up her broken arm, running off to a far distance.
“Do you think you can escape? I am the lord of this sanctuary!”
“Come to me, Umbrella of Destiny!”
The moment Eustace pulled out the umbrella, Lila and the others instantly knew they were in grave danger. The mystical tool was extremely powerful, able to attack and defend. It was a gift from the God of Destiny from ancient times to defeat the Undead clan.
Yet now, Eustace was using it to fight the women who had helped him for the past three thousand years.
Boom!
