Game Of Divine Thrones Chapter 170: Slave Liberation 3

Chapter 170: Slave Liberation 3

"I know this is all a scheme, Asura!"

Melena kicked the door open and stormed out of the stone building with a face contorted with anger.

Woohyuk pretended to be ignorant.

"What are you talking about?"

"You sick b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Was it fun playing with my heart?!"

Melena blindly criticized Woohyuk without realizing that she had done the exact same things so far.

So if she did it, it was acceptable, but if others did it, it was morally incorrect.

Carnelian, who stood next to Woohyuk, frowned.

"Um, I don't think that the Witch of l.u.s.t has the right to say that...”

"Shut up, you lab rat!"

Melena screamed her lungs out at Carnelian.

Woohyuk spoke up to her again after her outburst.

"Melena, have you heard of this word before?"

"What?!"

"Hypocrite."

"...You f.u.c.king sc.u.m!"

Unable to hold back her fury. a purple flame rose from Melena's hand.

At that moment, Astaroth exited from the stone building.

“…”

"What are you doing? It went as planned, so capture Melena now."

All kinds of traps were set up in the building, including curse spells, so Woohyuk had used Astaroth to make Melena exit the dangerous building.

Astaroth nodded because he was aware of Woohyuk’s intentions.

"I'll do it now. I just drifted off for a while because she suddenly confessed to me."

Although it was a bit radical of her, Melena had expressed her feelings to Astaroth in the building.

But Astaroth did not reciprocate her feelings.

Moreover, he could not start a relations.h.i.+p right now since he was obligated to follow Woohyuk's orders.

Melena's face hardened as Astaroth summoned his exclusive weapon, Regius.

She then burst out in crazy laughter.

"Kyahahahaha! ...So it’s come to this. I was waiting for Asura to get caught in my trap, but this is better. With this, I can throw away my old lingering feelings.”

Melena had been monitoring Woohyuk from afar through her crystal ball.

Her plan was to make Woohyuk fall into a trap and then force him to have a relations.h.i.+p with her.

No matter how indifferent a man was, he would definitely become attached to a woman he had slept with.

In other words, she would tame Woohyuk through his l.u.s.t.

But the attempt had failed, and Melena didn’t appear to have any more plans.

"Are you thinking of escaping? By leaving behind your dear Astaroth?"

"Hmph, you seem to think you have the upper hand right now, so let me tell you one thing? With my power, I can easily reconquer this kingdom anytime. We're working together on a new secret weapon as well.”

The Witch Cult was rapidly spreading among the slaves.

As she clapped her hands, people branded with the stigma of l.u.s.t began to show up one by one from all around them.

But Woohyuk wasn’t interested in them.

His attention was turned to Melena’s words.

"A secret weapon?"

"Yes, I'm preparing a present with Aleister to surprise you. You can look forward to it, because sooner or later you'll see it during certain trials."

Aleister was a genius alchemist who had reached the pinnacle of alchemy.

He created inventions that broke through the conventional knowledge of the present.

Feeling suspicious and nervous, Woohyuk unfolded Lemegeton and summoned the rest of the Demon Kings.

"We’ll need to hear that story in detail. For now, get obediently captured."

"Huhu, Did you think I wasn’t prepared? We've been watching you and Eteria Rodinus for a long time."

She, however, did not take action like the 72 Demon Kings or p.r.o.noia most times because she was scheming something.

As Melena prepared to run away, Woohyuk immediately summoned Verserios.

‘I should use this opportunity to try out that ability.’

The ability he had gained with the t.i.tle of Master of the White Ghost King.

When Woohyuk drew the White Ghost King’s stigma with Verserios,

Whoooos.h.!.+

A red moon covered up the sun, creating a total solar eclipse, and a red magic circle appeared on the floor, revealing the White Ghost King.

"Did you call, Lord Asura?"

"Capture that witch with the demon kings.”

The White Ghost King’s power and strength was between Astaroth, the 29th Demon King, and Orobas, the 55th Demon King.

He was therefore about as strong as the average Demon King.

Melena snorted as the White Ghost King stood by the demon kings, pulling out the Soulsword Calites.

"I see that you’ve picked up another weirdo. I'm sorry, but I don't intend to die by your hands like Kriemhild and Priscilla. So I'll be goi...”

Swooos.h.!.+

Before Melena could finish her sentence, a dark red double-handed sword swung down towards her head.

Astaroth was able to attack her first since he was closest to her.

Melena gritted her teeth and dodged to the side.

And...

Click.

She took out a red jewel and put it in the hole in her bra.s.s necklace.

She was trying to escape to her chapel by chanting a spell.

However, the Demon Kings wouldn’t just sit by and watch.

"My, oh my. Don't think you can run away so easily."

"You’ve been experimenting with toys after sending us to our deaths to the White Ghost King’s Sand Temple?"

“You witches are all the same...”

Orobas and Andras, the demon kings of Ars Almadel, were the most infuriated.

They thought that they were being used by Melena.

As the demons quickly narrowed the distance from all sides, Melena summoned the slaves of the Witch Cult before her and used them as meat s.h.i.+elds.

Spray!

Red blood gushed out like waves.

The White Ghost King watched from a distance for a while and swung the soulsword Calites in the air.

Black rifts cracked open in the air, and armed white ghosts emerged through it.

Stab!

Stab!

The white ghosts quickly overpowered the slaves.

As the situation deteriorated rapidly, Melena frowned.

‘I just need to buy some time...’

By completing the summoning ritual, she would be able to get out of this mess.

She had a sudden surge of regret.

She shouldn’t have thought of testing Asura instead of running away.

Then,

'Ah, right. This should do.’

A good idea flashed across her mind.

The Valkyrie's Dagger.

Since Asura had made Clyantes guide him here, Asura was probably interested in it.

So if she took out a similar-looking weapon and pretended it was the real one, she’d be able to buy some time.

Melena immediately put her plan into action with confidence.

"Why do you want this so badly?! You don’t even know the proper whereabouts of the Edda Chronicles yet!"

The weapon Melena was brandis.h.i.+ng was a dagger with a slightly curved edge.

As she flew into the air and made a fuss, Woohyuk, who was watching the battle from behind, grinned.

'As I expected.’

Woohyuk knew her well because he had faced Melena in the past.

That was most likely a fake.

The real one was probably inside the small bag around her waist.

'I’ll use Melena's plan against herself.’

It would be difficult to capture a witch if she focused solely on escaping.

Therefore, he was aiming for an opening after making the demon kings fight on the forefront.

In the best case scenario, he would obtain both the Valkyrie's Dagger and Melena's soul.

[White Ghost King, you are to follow my instructions from now on.]

Woohyuk secretly explained the operation to the White Ghost King through a telepathic conversation.

Then the White Ghost King, who was chasing Melena with the demon kings, nodded.

[Understood, Lord Asura.]

Currently, they were both looking for the right opportunity,

"If you keep cornering me, I'll destroy this! I'd rather destroy it instead of letting it fall into the hands of my enemy!"

Melena lifted the dagger she was holding into the air.

At the same time, a black rift appeared in the air, and the surroundings began to swirl violently.

She was announcing that she would throw the Valkyrie’s Dagger into the abyss.

Woohyuk pretended to be shocked and acted fl.u.s.tered.

"Do you think Lilith will let you off the hook if you do that?”

"Well, who cares? She’ll just punish me a bit. Actually, she might praise me for making the correct decision.”

Melena reached out and pushed the dagger into the swirling vortex.

As the fake Valkyrie's dagger was about to be sucked into the black rift, Woohyuk rushed in that direction and ordered the demon kings.

"Get that dagger out of the vortex! We’ll deal with the Witch of l.u.s.t afterwards!"

“...”

The demon kings turned their backs to Melena.

While they wanted to beat her up, they couldn't disobey their master's orders.

At this sight, Melena excitedly jumped around in her heart.

'Success!'

Her plan was executed perfectly

All she had to do was to hurry back to the chapel.

As Melena tried to recite the return spell, a faint figure appeared behind her.

It was the White Ghost King.

Swooos.h.!.+

The Soulsword Calites left behind a blue glow as the tip of its blade flew towards Melena's heart.

It was a surprise attack

Terrified, Melena tried to dodge it at the last moment, but...

Slit!

Dark red blood sprayed around in the air.

As Melena tried to avoid Calites, Woohyuk swung Verserios towards her escape path as if he was reading the future, and the blade dug deep into her slender waist.

"Kyaaaaaaah!"

Melena’s cry of anguish reverberated into the dark sky, as the red moon had covered up the sun and blocked its light.

"I don't think anyone is coming to save you. Not even a knight in s.h.i.+ning armor.”

With a bloodstained bag in one hand, Woohyuk whispered to Melena as he strangled her with the other.

The mortally wounded woman let out a few words.

"Spare… me..."

"Unfortunately, I can’t turn witches into my va.s.sals while they're alive. So you will have to die here."

Woohyuk strengthened his grip on Melena's throat.

But...

Boooooom!

A bolt of purple lightning struck down from the darkened sky and struck Melena's head.

When Melena’s figure disappeared, Woohyuk grinded his teeth and looked up into the sky.

"Aleister Crowley...”

"Long time no see, Asura. How have you been?”

Aleister smiled wickedly as he held a bleeding Melena in his arms.

Woohyuk blatantly revealed his killing intent towards Aleister’s composed att.i.tude.

"I didn’t know your character was supposed to appear on stage right now. Are you sure this was planned by Lilith?"

"Well, let’s call it a Deus Ex-Machina. The expression isn’t so wrong since you can’t rival me in your current state.”

"Do you know this? All the people who acted smug and confident while fighting me ended up dead."

Woohyuk swung the bloodstained Verserios into the air, and a pitch-black wave flew towards Aleister with a fierce momentum.
