Chapter 762: Chapter 523: Inas’s First Stirrings of Love (4000 words for Chapter 1)

Feeling the terrifying presence closing in step by step, Inas felt as if her scalp might explode.

The gap in strength between them was far too great, no longer something that could be bridged by magic potions or willpower.

Perhaps in the next instant, she would be dead.

Death, Inas was not afraid of; what she feared was that her death would be meaningless.

As the former Holy Daughter of the Earth Mother Goddess Sect, she knew she had not fulfilled the duties of a Saintess well; she hadn’t bestowed blessings upon the believers, nor had she led them down the right path. Under the influence of the mark seared into her soul, everything she did was only for Onions.

She had once tried to guide Onions onto the right path, but it was only an attempt rather than a forced conversion; when Onions was resolute, she would choose to comply, even though Inas knew very clearly in her heart that this was not the right thing to do.

The brand within her soul made it impossible for Inas to resist Onions’s commands.

After the brand within her soul was cleared, whenever Inas recalled those killed by Onions, her heart felt oppressively filled with guilt. She chose the path of redemption, hoping to wash away her sins by saving other lives.

This path was not easy.

But it was the path Inas had chosen for herself, and she would persist no matter how hard it became.

Even if it meant sacrificing her own life and soul, she had no fear.

If sacrificing her own life could kill the enemy before her and ease the pressure on Ireta’s side, then Inas would not hesitate at all.

What Inas truly feared was that even in death, she wouldn’t be able to inflict even the slightest injury on this enemy.

After killing her, this terrifying adversary would still return to Ireta’s side. If there was not a sufficiently powerful being to stop these demons from spreading, Inas didn’t know how many lives on the Sky Dome Continent would be lost to these beings.

The enemy was fast, and the corpulent woman didn’t show any laxity due to Inas’s grievous injuries and her nearly complete lack of resistance.

She had no interest in savoring the pleasure of a cat playing with a mouse; she just wanted to devour Inas, to taste that freshest of delicacies.

The bloated body displayed unimaginable flexibility. The figure swept across the icy surface like a fierce wind, and in an instant was right in front of Inas.

A rough right hand suddenly reached out and grabbed Inas’s head, while a gaping maw opened to reveal a full set of serrated teeth within.

In the eyes of Inas, more and more red blood vessels began to appear as if tiny worms crawling slowly.

The red in her pupils became more and more intense.

At this moment, Inas’s only chance was her soul.

Only by detonating her soul, and the energy that burst forth in that instant, might she be able to drag the woman before her down to Hell or, at the very least, allow the woman to taste the flavor of pain.

The corpulent woman, on the other hand, didn’t seem to notice this.

Or perhaps she was aware but simply didn’t care.

Her strength was overwhelming enough to believe that the pitiful resistance of Inas would not amount to much.

The gaping maw opened wide; it was clear to see that deep in her mouth, her tongue writhed like a venomous snake.

That tongue did not look human at all; it was covered in weird barb-like flesh buds.

Aoowu...

Just as she was about to bite off Inas’s head, and Inas could even smell the stench from the woman’s mouth, and was ready to completely detonate her soul, a weird scene unfolded.

A flame of bright gold mixed with silver-white descended from the sky like a scorching beam and struck directly onto the bloated body of the woman.

Boom...

Her body was suddenly smashed to the ground, the cloak on her body’s surface ignited, and her already less than fair skin was scorched black at this moment.

The woman let out a shrill cry from her throat; it was difficult for such an attack to kill this powerful woman outright.

But it hurt, it hurt a lot.

Her body convulsed in spasms, and strange roars continued to emanate from her mouth.

Inas, who had been preparing to explode her soul for the final attack, watched the scene before her somewhat stunned, still not quite able to respond to what exactly had happened.

But, there’s no need to self-destruct now, right? Inas quickly stopped her attempt to detonate her soul.

In the next instant, a figure appeared in front of the woman as swiftly as a ghost.

Then, a fist smashed directly onto the woman’s face.

Under the agonizing burn of the Holy Fire, the woman’s reflexes slowed, unable to dodge, and her body was flung away by the blow.

The bloated body skidded across the ice; she didn’t stop until she had slid a considerable distance.

Inas, who had escaped from the jaws of death, gasped for breath, still not quite understanding why she was alive to this point, until her eyes settled on the figure standing before her.

With his back to her, and perhaps because Inas had fallen onto the ice, the figure seemed unusually tall.

The broad back gave the former Holy Daughter an unprecedented sense of security; it seemed as though as long as this figure was here, any danger could be warded off.
