Empress' Evolution

Chapter 39: Victory over their hearts

Lilith's powers are not all-powerful, and it was now seen after seeing Lilith's bleeding face. She had already transformed into a Two Horn and yet a wound is still present on her cute visage.

Her MP had already been drained, and she can't cast any spell. The only thing she can do is stop the bleeding, but Lilith didn't wipe the blood away.

It hurts, yes, but she can still work around the pain, she won't lose her consciousness for something as feeble as this.

'Tis but a scratch.' She said in her head. Pain is not something that can easily faze her, she had already shown her capability to endure in the past.

Chief slowly walked over to Lilith and bent his knee. He looked at Lilith and lowered his head as he apologized.

"I am a disgrace as a warrior, I have failed to protect the Priestess."

Lilith widely smiled widely, "This oaf, worry not, it is only a scratch, far from taking the life of this Priestess. You have a more important job, announce the death of the Pixie Lord...

"What? The Pixie Lord has been killed? How did you know?"

"You question me too much, I had backup plans and one of them worked as I had hoped. If you're wondering how I learned the Pixie Lord's death, it is because of the Goddess' Blessing, it's the Blessing,"

",,,Alright."

Lilith used the ever so convenient excuse known as the Goddess. Lilith will not let the Goddess have her name spread without it doing anything.

'That little Useless Goddess give me nothing but trouble...well there are useful rewards but that is it. She gives me too many troublesome quests.'

It is not that Lilith hates the Goddess, she just hates the Goddess' guts. If the Goddess is truly a Goddess then she should have just turned Lilith into the most powerful being in the entire universe and then let her rule over every daemon.

Ting*. A letter from the Goddess has arrived.

[Note: Don't be like that, I am doing this for your sake if you become too strong all of sudden you won't be able to learn the ways of the daemons so live with it for now, okay? Besides, your Blessings and abilities are already at the tier of Gods, [Evolution Tracing] is one of the strongest cheats you know?]

Lilith sighed, thinking what the Goddess is doing at this time. She should be enjoying herself while eating some chips right? In the end, she's nothing like a Goddess at all.

While the Goddess was having fun with Lilith, Chief finally stepped up and went face to face with the Pixies. With the sword beside him, he shouted his intent.

"Your Lord has been killed you are now under the jurisdiction of the Ogres!"

Such is the announcement of Chief to the hundreds of Pixies. The Pixies looked at Chief with an unsatisfied expression on their faces. They glared at him and didn't want to believe her words.

"You are lying! The Lord received the blessing of the Red Moon, it is impossible to kill him!"

"That's right! You're lying!"

Lilith watched them shout and curse at Chief, but it was understandable. No matter how shitty a leader is, at some point, they still provided for a group. Many haters may arise, but there are those who followed the leader as well.

There are two ways to go over the whole situation, either kill the backers of the Pixie Lord or take the faith they had on their so-called leader.

Lilith in her previous life used a lot of the first method. Though she only killed the aggressors and spared the others, it could be said that it was a mix of the two.

However, Lilith can't use her mixed method. First and foremost, she is not the leader of the Ogres, it is Chief. Second, this is the world of daemons, not humans; in the society of humans, she controlled everyone through fear due to the help of her notoriety.

In this life, she is not a human but a daemon, and her role is not a ruler in the shadows but the beacon of light to the daemons. She must become a being that emanates hope and lead others to victory.

Seeing Chief hold his anger and desire to bash their heads to a bloody pulp, Lilith inwardly nodded her head.

With no other option comes the third method she had been preparing. The Priestess method!

"Chief, do it..."

"Okay...Listen! The Priestess of the Ogre Tribe, the one who planned the subjugation of the Pixies will now speak, disrespect her means you are disrespecting the entire Ogre Tribe!"

Lilith stood up from the ground and walked over to Chief. The Pixies saw Lilith and they momentarily shut their mouths, and then, Lilith finally opened her mouth to speak.

"Chief, that is enough, do not scare the lambs that had been misguided by the Pixie Lord, their hate is warranted for we have defeated their Lord, but it is now our duty to lead them so the people of Pixies, please, listen to this child as I will now speak only the truth; if you doubt my words, I shall make an oath under the name of the Ogre Ancestor Mawa to calm your hearts!"

Everyone was placed in a stupor. Blood was going down Lilith's face it was a pitiful sight, her pale complexion was enough to stab the hearts of the Pixies.

'The Pixies never liked wars, to begin with, a child such as myself is the most appropriate weapon. Without the Pixie Lord ordering them, the walls in their hearts will crumble like a well-baked cookie.'

Thus, Lilith's preaching began.

"This war was started by the Pixie Lord, he wished to gain our territory and we retaliated as anyone would, I am but a mere child no older than 3, but as the Priestess, I have placed it upon my shoulders to look over my people.

"Open your hearts, let us end this war. Live in peace and we shall grant you protection!"

Lilith's words caused the Pixies to swallow their saliva. Her words spoke of truth, but one last thing stands on her way...

"Do you think our fallen comrades, will let us do that? We Pixies value our kin as much as we value ourselves."

Drip!

A single tear escaped the bloodied visage of Lilith.

"Listen to me lost lambs, the Pixie Lord who you treated your kin sent you to your deaths to fulfill his greed! I have said we will protect you, but I know you feel doubtful of my words, but worry not, for the lives of the ones who attacked us have been retained."

The drooping heads of the Pixies suddenly propped up, and as their sight towards Lilith began to soften, Lilith delivered the final blow.

"I have no intention of letting anyone die, I wish not for death but for life, follow us and we shall pave the way to a new life that is filled with the prosperity of both race!"

Her words struck the core values of the Pixies. They dropped on their knees, crying as they felt relieved. Lilith watched over them with an amicable smile.

Chief stared at Lilith with a bizarre expression.

'She is amazing, he's at least three to five steps ahead of me. She's amazing.'

Not only did Lilith won over the hearts of the Pixies, but Chief also opened his heart at the loli before him.

But still, Lilith is about to achieve her goals, now she only has to evolve to an epic-tier and her debt will be wiped clean.

'Everything is going well.' She thought to herself. Everything is atop her palms, she controls and her pawns are increasing by the day.

At this time, the Forest of Beast met peace. However, with the Red Moon watching over the world, it means that peace is not so easily achieved.

And on the other side of the Forest of Beast, something else is going on.

In the eastern area of the Forest of Beast, the sound of death is countering the orchestra of life Lilith produced.

And daemons from different parts of the Forest of Beast marched towards west. Towards the Ogres, and Pixies.
