Empress' Evolution

Chapter 41: Kristina

Werewolves, beings of the night, and the daydreams of teenage girls; they are strong as they are ruthless. They rule the night as a lycanthrope and the day as superhumans, they are beings that are not to be messed with.

Lilith, a loli, a tiny leopard, and an oversized lizard; she is the Priestess of the Ogres and a part leader of the Pixie, Ogre Union. She rules over the hearts of many, and scares no one other than the four Ogre lackeys, namely Eve, Luck, Scarface, and Killa; she is someone that can be killed easily given the right situations.

However, at this moment, Lilith looked down upon the oh-so-powerful werewolves.

In a clearing where they are enclosed in a circular treeline, two groups met with one another. One is a group of masculine Ogres and one particular loli and a Blood Lord. As for the other group, it was a group of injured werewolves that is consisted of the young, women, and the elderly.

'Sigh, it seems like it was a good choice not to bring the group with me.' Lilith at first was hesitant to come here without protection of the army, the Werewolves are fierce enemies added to that her cultivated hate of wolves she wanted to eradicate them before they can do no harm.

Thankfully, someone intervened.

Do you accept the Mission? Y/N?

Of course, she decided to accept the mission.

Before Lilith got to where they were, the Werewolves had already been given food by Killa and Chief. She looked at them and saw their wounds, most of them are mostly scratches, but some are gaping wounds.

The Pixies already gave out salve to solve that part and some of them are fixing the injured.

'Most of these guys are only puppies, and their leader is a woman with one arm, that's neat. I don't even want to kill them, and I hate wolves.' Lilith looked at them, she sighed at their pitiful sight but didn't show anything on the outside.

She simply stared at the rest, she was silently observing the wolves in front of her. They were shaking, most probably if hunger, their lips are dried and the injured amongst them are still bleeding.

'This is a mess.'

While she was placed into deep thought, Lilith looked

"The Strong Ogres, please, give us a place to stay to treat our injured; we will give you anything in return if you give us a place to stay."

"Healing Light."

Before anyone could even say a word, Lilith already cast a skill; the Healing Light that had improved after Lilith's Light attribute reached A-tier.

The Healing Light took 70% of Lilith's MP, although it was not enough to heal them until they are brand new, it was good enough to spare those at Death's door.

The Werewolves looked at their closing wounds and their dying kins slowly recovering from the injuries they had experienced.

"T-thank you oh kind one."

"Thank me not for this act of kindness is but a mission given to me by the Goddess Letza."

"The Goddess Letza?"

Lilith was about to speak when she stumbled and almost fell to her face, sending the Ogres into a panic.

"Priestess! Are you alright?"

It was Eve and Dhampy who was the first get to her. Lilith straightened her body out, she stood before the Werewolves with pride.

"I am fine, as for your question, Chief and the rest would be the one to answer you, I shall retreat for the time being for I have something to do, Dhampy comes with me."

Giving the Werewolves one final look of goodbye, Lilith sighed.

She went to Section 5 and passed the old village of the Ogres. There were no longer demons in Section 5, only those who hunt for EXP and meat, and Pixies who decided to help the Ogres haul the haunted meat.

The rest are in the Neutral Area, trying to build the community with the Pixies.

"Good day, Priestess."

"To you also."

"Ah, Priestess, we caught a lot of beasts today, we even caught wood daemons, do you think the Pixies would like that?"

"I am sure they would keep up the good work."

Lilith's job is to smile and observe others. She was some sort of figurehead that connects the two groups so she had to look nice in front of them. But once she sets herself to hunting mode, Lilith would become serious.

Turning into a Thunder Clap Leopard, Lilith kicked the ground, and together with Dhampy, they zoomed out of the others' sight.

'It is time to evolve.'

[Mission: Empress' Kingdom (Side-Quest) #2 (non-mandatory) (completed)]

Reward/s: You will be granted quick evolution to every form (acquired).

Bonus reward/s for actually doing helping them (Goddess special treat): The EXP you gain will be double of what you get when you kill the conquerors of Section 6.

Lilith looked at the rewards and began to laugh, she was going to enjoy this thing to the fullest.

She went into a rampage, every red dot she will see in the minimap will be slain by Lilith. Her lightning claws were sharp, sharper than anything a rare-tier could handle. And with her sharp instincts, her reaction was also superb.

"Gruuu!"

As a wandering Red Centipede crawled about; its red carapace reflected the sun and its killer's lightning.

"Lightning Claws!"

Boom!

Lilith's lightning exploded and the poor centipede has yet to die so she transformed into a Nightmare Dragonkin before killing it with poison.

Ptoo!

She spits at the centipede and it died shortly thereafter.

[Level up]

"Hell yeah!" She punched the skies as she celebrated her victory.

"Congratulations, Boss."

Lilith nodded her head, then she heard Alpha.

[Nightmare Dragonkin LVL 40]

[Thunder Clap Leopard LVL 40]

[Two Horns LVL 40]

'Finally, it is time for my evolution to come to be!' Lilith was happy, too happy that she's practically jumping for joy!

And her attention was drawn to Alpha, like a lover waiting for a gift.

===

[You have reached the limits of all three forms, the Life Essence you have is sufficient...analyzing the strongest forms you can take...found, choose from the selections Lilith look out!]

===

Lilith turned her head, but a blade was already coming for her.

The blade was coated with blue flames, it was hot, and Lilith knew that she would die if she didn't react any faster.

However, she can't react at all...

'Oh, shit...I'm going to die...'

Lilith could see it, she was going to die in such a shitty manner. She didn't even die due to suicide like she always wanted, she's going to die because she got snuck up on...and that's her favorite way of killing.

But she was aware, that life's a bitch so, in her heart, she was pretty accepting. But Alpha wasn't and she blaring in Lilith's mind.

'We can't do anything, girl.'

Clang!

But then, a clash between two blades echoed as Dhampy got in between the fight!

The man who attacked Lilith was surprised as a black-cloaked woman stopped his sword.

He jumped back and Lilith finally got a better view of his attacker's visage.

He was a man wearing a suit of white armor with red lines on its edges. He was blond and the sword he was holding was burning in blue flames. A scar on his left cheek could be seen, thus Lilith dubbed him Scarcheek for the time being.

"A daemon wielding a sword? And that sword...where did you get that sword?"

On Dhampy's hands was a black sword, it was the sword given to him by Lilith all those times back when she killed the Virulent Serpent.

Dhampy looked at Scarcheek and flashed an interesting look.

"Are you a part of Skull Guild? If you are then leave this place."

"Shut up, you fucking daemon, don't talk to me as if you are human!"

Scarcheek kicked the ground and went to swing his blazing sword. A fight began between two swordsmen while the other two kept watching from the background.

One was someone in the shadows while the other was Lilith.

Lilith was still in a daze seemingly thinking about something.

While the other in the shadows was astounded with his eyes widened as he observed Dhampy.

"T-that's Hunter Kristina!"
