Chapter 752 The Yellow Phantom’s a.s.sessment Of Lith
One by one Luna stated the conditions that truly baffled the adventurers.
The first condition was to forfeit all loyalty to the a.s.sociation.
The adventurers gasped in shock.
The second condition was to be loyal to Luna and Qingyue, which was something they had expected to happen.
The third would be to join the Jingmei Guild secretly, which was also acceptable.
However, the last condition made them all gasp in horror. It was…
Fight the a.s.sociation.
The last condition made them all think if these two experts were right in their heads or not. How in the world could anybody go against an organization formed by the main races itself? It was literal suicide!
Looking at them like they were ants, Qingyue sneered and said, "we should just kill them as per the a.s.sociation"s orders."
The adventurers trembled in fear hearing that.
That"s right… they were nothing but disposable trash in the eyes of the a.s.sociation…
The a.s.sociation wanted them dead and if they somehow survived today, they would have their doubts and send other adventurers to sneakily kill them.
This just meant, no matter what they did, their doom was confirmed.
Emerald and Ruby badges weren"t stupid and it didn"t take them long to figure things out in their own interests.
One of thepleading guys on the ground hastily said, "seniors… please… I am willing… don"t kill me…"
The others sighed and one by one, kneeled down and started reciting their loyalty to their seniors.
However, one person in the crowd, he underestimated the amethyst badges and charged at them, thinking he could fight them.
What followed was a really inhumane murder right in front of the very eyes of everyone present. The adventurer was screaming in horror till his very last breath and sent a shiver down the spines of everyone involved.
This steeled the people"s resolve to not go against the amethyst badges.
Once everyone had sworn their loyalties, Luna made the people sign contracts made by a strong Witch Queen.
The contracts stated to swear their full loyalty to the Jingmei Guild or they would have their souls tortured and killed, never allowed to reincarnate again.
The people shivered in response, but being weak, they had to succ.u.mb to the wishes of the strong.
Once the contracts were signed, Luna gave them the token of the Jingmei Guild and disappeared.
As the job was done, they returned to where Lith was, who chuckled evilly and patted the two"s heads.
"Good job, my maids." Lith said and gave them a peck on their lips as a reward.
The maids smiled in response and were happy to be of service. They would"ve been fine without a reward too, but n.o.body hated being spoiled, did they?
The loli watching the whole fiasco wondered, "are these women okay in their heads? Who gets happy from some mere pats? And who even likes a kiss as a reward!?"
She couldn"t understand the mentality of these maids and also this silver-haired handsome pervert. Yes, he was indeed handsome, not just a little, but the most handsome man she had ever seen in her life. However, he was a bit too pervy!
The young girl"s a.s.sessment of Lith was that he liked to spank b.u.t.ts and take cheap advantage of his maids. Oh yes, he also seemed to have a maid fetish.
One shouldn"t say such bad things about their savior, but the girl just couldn"t help herself.
The only sane person she found out was Freya, who was standing still with a neutral expression on her face. She seemed like a mysterious expert to the young girl and Freya"s impression in the girl"s eyes was great.
Lith wrapped things up on this floor and ascended to the higher ones.
There was nothing of note here and everything seemed to be plundered already.
This wasn"t done by the adventurers, but Lith believed it was the work of Timeless.
Venturing higher, Lith stood in front of a mighty metallic gate with his maids.
Looking at the gate and the aura that seeped out, the Yellow Phantom trembled.
It was really creepy! Strong too!
She was getting the chills from it, but looking at her master whom she had sworn loyalty to, she became stupefied.
"What? Why"s there not even an ounce of expression on this guy"s face? No, not just him, but they too!?"
Not a single person except her seemed affected by this creepy aura.
Lith made a disgusted face and said, "the stench is too much. Should I skip it?"
Luna at the side replied, "No, Your Highness. This is the boss room. We need to clear it and only then can we go out."
"What?" Lith turned to Luna and asked with visible surprise. "We can"t go out before defeating the boss?"
Luna shook her head. "There"s no exit. It"s one of those dungeon types where you need to defeat the boss to have an exit."
Lith rubbed his temples. "So troublesome. We might get late for the banquet and…"
Lith didn"t dare to think what his mother would do to him if he did this stupid thing. He rubbed his b.u.t.t unconsciously and thought, "I am a winner, I"ll not lose. Not even my b.u.t.t cheeks to my mother"s evil hands!"
Lith loved to take the spank virginities of maidens and he had sworn to not let it happen the other way round.
Taking a deep breath and preparing himself, Lith took a step ahead and kicked the door.
CREAK!
The door opened up, shocking the Yellow Phantom who had thought her master was stupid to kick it.
She wondered what sorcery this was that such a strong gate was opened up in one kick!
Things were simple. As long as one"s aura overpowered the one on the gate, they could open it. This was the bare minimum to defeat the boss in the room.
As the door opened up and Lith entered inside, he felt a bad foreboding.
"AHHHH!" As for the Yellow Phantom, the poor girl shrieked in shock as she saw a mighty demonic figure at the end of the hall, sitting on a throne and smiling creepily.
This wasn"t a living person, but a statue. A thousand feet tall statue of a demon with red eyes that rested on a throne.
Just with a glance, Lith knew this dude wasn"t the boss in the room.
The boss was somewhere else.
Lith turned to the young girl and said, "little loli, as my maid, shrieking like that doesn"t suit you."
"M-m-master…" the loli wanted to argue that this figure was too dangerous, but the words Lith said next froze her on the spot.
"This isn"t even the boss."
The girl turned into a stone statue hearing that.
Eh? Not the boss? Then what the f.u.c.k was this?
The Yellow Phantom started contemplating her life and thought whether it was a big joke or something.
She couldn"t even distinguish a single thing despite being from a really strong ancient bloodline.
Was all such problems occurring because she had been dormant for too long? Or was it because she hadn"t recovered yet? Or was it because the curse wasn"t gone? The Yellow Phantom had no idea about anything by this point.
"Qingyue, shatter that statue." Lith instructed. There was no shame in ordering his maid to do that.
Lith knew he wasn"t strong enough to defeat that thing. It was probably in the Half Emperor Rank realm from the way its aura was.
Qingyue nodded and glided forwards. As she crossed a certain imaginary line in the room, the statue got up and dashed at her.
A loud explosion resounded in the room as the two clashed. Smoke blocked everyone"s vision and debris flew everywhere as the explosion occurred.
Lith and others were fine since Luna put up a protective barrier.
As the smoke cleared, Qingyue stood atop a pile of debris, it being nothing else but what remained of the demonic statue.
The Yellow Phantom"s jaws remained open in astonishment, causing her to get a spank on their little b.u.t.t by her master.
"Ow!"
"Stop zoning out, we need to move." Lith said and walked ahead.
Hateful master! The Yellow Phantom cursed and followed Lith.
Where the statue was, behind was a pa.s.sage to a hidden room.
Entering inside, the first thing everybody felt was a great chill down their spine, followed by some demonic hands grabbing their throats. It was imaginary and they just had a feeling of this.
"The boss room…" Lith thought. No wonder dungeon bosses seemed so formidable.
There was a black mist covering everybody and as they ventured deeper, an ominous pressure made their stomachs churn.
Of course, there was no effect of this on Qingyue or Luna and Freya too felt it just to some extent. These three were really strong.
It was just Lith and the Yellow Phantom who were having some troubles.
As they went deeper into the room, they saw a fire pit in the middle of a ma.s.sive inscription laden ground.
It seemed a ritual of some sort and around the fire pit, there were two ladies sitting, their faces not clearly visible.
As the Yellow Phantom saw the inscription a frown crept up on her doll-like face and she said, "don"t touch the spell."
