Chapter 83: Do It Again!
Even with 【Maid’s Monstrous Strength (Beginner)】, even while wearing the agility-boosting 【Combat Maid Outfit · Zero Form】, in the face of absolute overwhelming powaer, the body’s instinctive reaction was still—
Stiffness.
A sound came from behind.
It was the airflow created by massive wings beating against the air.
Whoosh—
Whoosh—
The light at the gaping hole dimmed.
Something blocked the opening.
Lilia slowly, mechanically turned her neck.
That lunatic who should have been blasted away by her punch and left half-crippled—
Was now floating in midair.
The night served as her backdrop.
The previously frail and pale Batori was gone.
In her place stood a true high-tier demon.
Her clothes on her back had completely exploded apart, a pair of enormous flesh wings covered in fine scales fully spread out, with a wingspan exceeding three meters.
Those messy restraints and chains from before had long shattered into pieces.
She was barefoot.
Her toes hovered half a foot above the ground.
The previously collapsed nose bridge and cheeks were now wriggling and restoring at a speed visible to the naked eye, producing a teeth-gritting sound of bones grinding.
Not dead.
Not even seriously injured.
Lilia’s full-powered punch of justice seemed to have merely triggered her “second phase transformation.”
“I knew it…”
Lilia wailed internally.
How could the manager of a mining area possibly be knocked down by a maid with a single punch?
Batori slowly floated into the room.
As she entered, the debris on the floor began to tremble, and the scattered bottles and ornaments exploded one after another.
It’s over.
This time, it’s really over.
A monster of this level—forget fighting, she couldn’t even run.
Where was Hera?
If she didn’t make a move now, her only maid was about to become floor tiles here!
Lilia tightly gripped the short blade in her hand, her palms drenched in cold sweat.
She’d go all out.
Even if she died, she couldn’t die too pathetically.
At the very least, she’d leave another scar on that face.
Batori landed on the ground.
Without making a single sound.
She tilted her head.
On that face that had just been restored, still somewhat pale, no emotion could be seen.
She walked step by step toward Lilia.
With each step, the fluctuation of her magic power grew stronger.
Black mist coiled around her body.
Ten meters.
Five meters.
Three meters.
Lilia could even smell the strong scent of blood and sulfur on her.
Her heart pounded wildly.
Adrenaline surged.
Lilia gritted her teeth, lowering her center of gravity, preparing for a final desperate struggle.
Since you want my life—
Then take it in exchange for your blood!
Closer.
Even closer.
Just as Batori walked to less than one meter in front of Lilia—
Just as Lilia was about to activate her skill 【Shadow Step】 for a desperate gamble—
That imposing female demon, whose demonic aura towered to the heavens—
Suddenly stopped.
And then—
Under Lilia’s shocked gaze, her eyes nearly popping out of their sockets—
Thud.
She dropped to her knees.
That kneel was extremely decisive.
She even used so much force that two shallow dents were smashed into the floor.
The short blade in Lilia’s hand almost slipped and dropped onto her foot.
Huh?
What kind of new attack opening move was this?
Before Lilia’s brain could process what she was seeing—
Batori lowered her noble head deeply, her forehead almost touching the tip of Lilia’s shoe.
Those domineering demon wings also folded up, drooping behind her like a rain-soaked quail.
“Please…”
Her voice trembled.
Carrying a desire suppressed to the extreme.
“Please… you must… do it again!”
The wind stopped.
The air froze.
Even the System notification sound in Lilia’s mind seemed to lag.
Maintaining her ready-to-fight stance, Lilia looked like she had been paused entirely.
She looked at Batori kneeling on the ground.
Then at her own fist that was still faintly aching.
Then at Batori again.
This script…
Wasn’t it the wrong one?
Wasn’t she just radiating overwhelming demonic power and about to slaughter her entire family a second ago?
What kind of operation was this, turning into a bootlicker in a single second?
“Um…”
Lilia swallowed, her voice dry like sandpaper scraping together.
“You… what did you say?”
Batori suddenly raised her head.
At this moment, Lilia saw her face clearly.
There was no anger.
No killing intent.
Not even a trace of resentment from being humiliated.
On that face, there was only a kind of hair-raising fanaticism.
A flush spread from the base of her neck to behind her ears, her lips trembling slightly, her entire body in an extremely excited state.
“That…”
Batori panted heavily, her hands clutching the carpet tightly, her nails almost embedding into the floor.
“That was amazing…”
“That was the real thing!”
She crawled forward on her knees, trying to hug Lilia’s thigh.
Lilia was so scared she jumped back three feet.
“Don’t come any closer!”
This was even more terrifying than before, okay?!
What kind of garbage was filling this lunatic’s brain?!
Batori didn’t care about Lilia’s rejection.
She looked up, her gaze unfocused, as if savoring some supreme delicacy.
“Those people… those idiots, what do they understand?”
“They only rely on brute force.”
“But you’re different.”
“That punch just now, carrying that ‘you’re trash’ look… ah!”
“My soul is trembling!”
She almost forgot—this lunatic was a…
Looking at this high-tier demon kneeling and begging to be abused, Lilia felt ten thousand alpacas stampeding through her heart.
What was this?
Did she punch her into pleasure?
“Um…”
Lilia tried to sort out the situation.
No matter what kind of madness this lunatic was displaying, since she currently had no intention of attacking, that was a good thing.
Lilia cleared her throat, trying hard to appear like a cold and aloof master.
“You… get up first.”
“No!”
Batori refused decisively.
“I am not worthy of standing!”
“A filthy maggot like me, only fit to crawl in the gutters—how could I stand and speak to you in this sacred room?”
“I beg you!”
“As long as you’re willing to act… this entire mining area! No, the entire Batori family’s wealth will be yours!”
As she spoke excitedly, she actually wriggled closer to Lilia.
About to hug her leg.
Lilia was going crazy.
Truly going crazy.
She even began to miss that lunatic who had been firing shadow arrows earlier.
At least that one could be communicated with through physical means.
This one was completely impossible to communicate with!
“Enough!”
Lilia shouted loudly.
She actually just wanted to boost her own courage.
But to Batori, this shout sounded like heavenly music—the thunderous wrath of a queen.
