As a villain, I really can't become stronger anymore

The original Seraphina, when she was in Larnaca City, showed a bright, dignified and lively personality.

But when she was at the headquarters of the Church of the Goddess of Dawn, Seraphina's personality became somewhat withdrawn and introverted, and it was unknown what factors influenced her. Especially in the past two years, this trait seemed to have become more serious.

Seraphina would not normally invite any clergyman into her room.

Even Irelia and Cecilia, who had a very good relationship with her, were the same.

Although this behavior is a little unusual, it is actually normal. After all, every girl has her own little secrets.

However, only Seraphina herself knows the real reason.

Seraphina knew very well how many things were hidden in her room that were not allowed to be seen in public. If they were discovered, she would be sent to the stake immediately.

But this time, it seemed to be more serious than ever before. Not only the secret room where Seraphina usually practiced, but even the entire hall was filled with gloom and depression.

In mid-air, the naked eye can clearly see traces of gray-black traces slowly wriggling and floating.

It was as if countless strange insects were dancing in the air.

Although it was clearly her own room, Seraphina felt a strong sense of strangeness, and seemed to be able to smell a stench like burning sulfur between her nostrils.

Seraphina didn't know what caused this sudden change. She just subconsciously tensed her body and prepared for a fight, while at the same time she was looking around at the situation out of the corner of her eye.

It was a strange feeling.

It is noon now.

The door is wide open.

The surrounding walls are also covered with glass windows that are not covered by curtains, allowing for excellent light transmission.

Logically, there should be no lack of light sources in the hall, but in fact, all the sunlight seemed to be blocked by some mysterious force, and the whole hall was gloomy and dark. Although it was not so dark that you could not see your hand in front of you, the depressing grayness made people feel even more uncomfortable.

The extremely depressing atmosphere made Seraphina very uncomfortable. The air seemed to have turned into a sticky liquid, entangled in pieces and strips on her body. The feeling of the wet liquid mixed with the slow crawling of slime against her body made Seraphina's scalp numb.

If you look closely, you can even see that the door on the side of the hall has been opened at some point, revealing a strange magic circle on the ground.

At this moment, the magic circle was flashing with a strange light, and the strange ash-like substances in the air were seeping out from the magic circle.

When seeing this scene, Seraphina's heart skipped a beat and a very bad premonition arose in her heart.

She craved power.

This desire became stronger and stronger as the gap between him, Irelia, and Cecilia continued to widen.

Seraphina knew very well that such feelings were wrong, but she just couldn't control herself. Under the trend of this strong desire, one night, she suddenly heard indescribable whispers in her ears.

As a practitioner, Seraphina knew very well what this kind of mumbling meant, and she knew even more clearly what the consequences would be if she immersed herself in this mumbling.

Those are some evil beings in the void that are bewitching the creatures of the Dusk Continent.

For Seraphina who heard the whispers, the best choice was to enter the temple immediately without saying a word, pray devoutly in front of the statue of the goddess, and use the power of the goddess of dawn to resist the invasion of evil.

But, perhaps it was the deep desire for power in her heart that made Seraphina choose another path. She did not seek shelter, but instead listened carefully to every syllable of the whispering in her sleep, to feel the information contained in those syllables.

In this way, Seraphina's strength began to increase rapidly with the help of whispers.

She even raised her own realm by three stars within a year.

Although Seraphina knew very well that this was the temptation of the devil, her ever-increasing strength and the gradually narrowing gap between her and Irelia and Cecilia were stimulating Seraphina to continue to indulge in this temptation.

She even set up a secret room without realizing it.

A magic circle was engraved in the secret room so that he could receive the sound from the void more clearly.

She knew that it was a whirlpool, and that deep inside the whirlpool was hell and the abyss, but that feeling was like strange tentacles entangled her body, constantly dragging her towards the gate of hell.

Perhaps, Seraphina's will is not bad. Perhaps, it is because this is the headquarters of the Church of the Goddess of Dawn and is naturally sacred.

Although more than a year has passed, Seraphina has not shown any signs of mental confusion or madness. Apart from her increasing strength, Seraphina has not felt any negative effects.

This situation also made Seraphina gradually relax her vigilance.

But today, all this has changed.

Her breathing gradually became rapid, and her narrow eyes stared at the figure in front of her.

What a figure that was.

Under the influence of the dim light in the room, it was like a hazy shadow. Seraphina couldn't see its height, weight, or even whether it was a man or a woman. She could only glimpse the outline of a human figure in the haze.

But for some reason, the moment she saw this figure, Seraphina felt as if her chest had been hit hard. The indescribable fear made her body tremble constantly.

Gudong.

She swallowed silently. Although there had not been any real contact or conflict between the two sides, the unbearable feeling of fear had already made Seraphina wet all over.

“Gurgle, squeak, squeak…”

At this moment, a strange sound suddenly broke the silence in the room.

Then there was another creaking sound behind him, followed by another clanging sound.

The door behind closed by itself without any operation.

Some sticky, ink-black liquid seeped out from the wall like blood, flowing slowly along the snow-white wall and the transparent glass until the entire glass was completely dyed black.

If originally only the light source was slightly affected, now all the light sources have been cut off.

The entire hall was plunged into pitch-black darkness.

But at this moment, a strange scene appeared again.

Although the whole room was completely plunged into darkness, the scene that Seraphina saw became clearer.

She gradually saw everything in the room clearly. The originally smooth and flat walls around her had become uneven at some point, with dense and irregular protrusions appearing on them. The entire wall, including the tumor-like protrusions on it, had turned dark red in color, and one could even vaguely see the blue-black veins and even blood vessels inside.

At first glance, Seraphina even wondered if she had accidentally entered a huge intestine and the stomach of some giant beast.

hum... hum... hum...

A sound like a heartbeat began to echo in Seraphina's ears.

Along with the sound of the heartbeat, the stomach wall begins to move in a regular rhythm.

With every rhythm, some sticky yellow liquid could be seen gradually being squeezed and seeping out from the stomach wall. The whole room began to be filled with a strong, fishy, ​​and rotten smell.

Looking around, the furniture originally placed in the hall, such as coffee tables, tables and chairs, seemed to have all turned into pieces of bright red meat, piled up randomly in the corners.

Yellow mucus flowed down and wrapped around the pieces of meat, and the pieces began to rot at a speed visible to the naked eye.

All kinds of strange scenes appeared before Seraphina, like a dream.

The intense fear caused a layer of dense small bumps to appear on Seraphina's body in an instant. Her body began to retreat silently. She felt an unprecedented threat and tried to escape from here.

But just as Seraphina started to move, the strange figure opposite Seraphina suddenly stood up.

The next moment, Seraphina felt a bone-chilling chill.

It was not until this moment that Seraphina finally saw the appearance of the strange figure clearly.

That is……

A bloody monster.

He had a head and limbs like ordinary humans and a normal torso, but there was not a single piece of skin on his entire body. The scarlet flesh made people's scalps numb when they looked at it.

Drops of sticky blood were even dripping down the monster's body.

At this moment, the monster suddenly opened its mouth:

"I want your skin..."

hum.

As the extremely sharp and terrifying sound echoed, Seraphina felt as if her head was hit hard by a hammer. Her entire brain was instantly dizzy, and the sharp pain even made Seraphina feel like her brain was about to be shattered into pieces.

Her eyes were instantly covered with a layer of blood red.

Liquid keeps flowing out of the nose.

The blood vessels on his face also stood out, each one like a twisted poisonous snake.

The violent impact directly hit Seraphina's chest, and her whole body was thrown into the air by an invisible force, hitting the door behind her hard.

The wooden door cracked and debris flew everywhere.

But the strange wooden door never collapsed completely from beginning to end. It seemed as if the door was bound by some mysterious force and could not be destroyed at all.

puff.

A mouthful of blood spurted out of Seraphina's mouth.

Until this moment, Seraphina finally understood what kind of existence was conveying the whispers in her ears. It was an evil spirit, and the purpose of this evil spirit was to take her skin...

It wants to descend upon the Dusk Continent.

It wants to completely replace its own existence.

Sure enough, trying to gain power from the stars never ends well.

Enduring the severe pain in her body, Seraphina climbed up from the ground. A soft white light began to bloom from her body. She tried to use the power of dawn to dispel the evil around her.

Dawn is indeed the nemesis of all evil.

Just like water controls fire.

But a drop of water cannot put out a raging wildfire.

Similarly, a tiny ray of light cannot dispel all the darkness.

"what……"

The strange evil spirit screamed again, and Seraphina's body trembled violently, with bright red blood beads all over her eyes, ears, mouth and nose.

The dawn light on his body began to sway violently. At this moment, a large area of ​​strange dark red fog swept over, and the faint dawn light was quickly swallowed up by the dark red.

call……

Seraphina only felt a gust of scarlet wind blowing on her face.

The next moment, the blood-covered figure appeared in front of him, with one arm raised, and bloody fingers instantly clasped Seraphina's slender, white neck.

Immediately afterwards, countless dense, scarlet silk threads were seen rapidly extending from the monster's fingers.

The ends of these silk threads were all very sharp. They pierced Seraphina's skin silently and were penetrating into Seraphina's body.

For a moment, Seraphina tensed.

Thin red marks had begun to spread rapidly on Seraphina's neck. In a short period of time, a terrifying spider web seemed to have appeared on that slender white swan-like neck. That was not all. The red blood vessels were still expanding.

This process is extremely painful.

Even though her neck was strangled, Seraphina continued to let out hoarse screams.

She could feel the changes taking place in her body, her flesh and blood being gradually replaced.

Her consciousness is gradually being suppressed.

The strong feeling of rejection seemed to be expelling her soul from her body.

When her flesh and blood are completely replaced and her soul is completely expelled, her skin will become the trophy of the monster in front of her.

Don't...don't do this.

Seraphina's heart was filled with resentment. She wanted to resist, but in front of the evil spirit, all her strength seemed so weak that she had no chance to resist at all.

Is he going to die just like that?

At this moment, the strange evil spirit in front of him seemed to suddenly realize something. He suddenly raised his head, and his face, which had no skin but only facial muscles, was twisted in a weird posture. There was a flash of vigilance in his huge, creepy eyes.

He seemed to have noticed something and opened his mouth wide, with the corners of his mouth cracked all the way to his ears.

He was just about to make that blasphemous sound again to force back the existence that was approaching here rapidly.

This was a good opportunity for him to appear normally in the Dusk Continent and live a normal life like a real life. He absolutely did not want to see this opportunity being ruined by some damn bastards.

However, before the evil spirit could make any sound, an invisible force suddenly appeared in front of the evil spirit without destroying the door and walls, or even Seraphina's body.

It was a small ball of light.

Only the size of a fist.

Even the light was not that dazzling, seeming quite restrained.

But in the next second, the ball of light suddenly became scorching hot, and the restrained light began to bloom, as if it had transformed into a small sun and suddenly exploded in front of the evil spirit.

The hall of Seraphina's room suddenly became bright, and the darkness and scarlet disappeared almost at the same time. Even the rotten flesh around, the strange tumors on the wall and the mucus with a strong stench were evaporated completely in an instant.

That is the real dawn.

It is a light filled with hope.

At close range, the evil spirit suffered the most violent impact.

The bursting light was like a sharp sword, instantly piercing through the evil spirit's body. Immediately afterwards, there were a series of hissing sounds, and the evil spirit's flesh immediately appeared with burnt marks.

There was a big hole in the chest.

The evil spirit's body was directly blown away and hit the strong wall behind it heavily. Cracks instantly appeared on the stone wall, the whole house shook, and all the glass was shaken into pieces.

It looked miserable.

However, it is obviously impossible to completely eliminate an evil spirit with just this one move.

The evil spirit with its body charred black was making strange noises, wriggling on the ground, trying to get up again.

Seraphina's body finally fell to the ground, like a drowning person, greedily breathing in the fresh air. The feeling of escaping death made Seraphina full of fear.

The signs of erosion and pollution will not fade away so easily.

There were still bursts of tingling pain on my neck, face, and head, like needles pricking me.

Seraphina also wanted to get up from the ground, but her body was constantly convulsing in intense pain and was completely out of her control. She wanted to turn around and see who saved her, but even such a simple action was impossible for Seraphina to do.

Bata, bah...

Just then, Seraphina heard footsteps.

The sound was getting closer and closer, and the person was approaching him.

who is it?

Is it the person who just saved him from the evil spirit?

Seraphina tried to move her eyes, but the layer of blood in her eye sockets made everything look hazy and blurry. She could only vaguely hear the other person's voice approaching.

Maybe it was just a few seconds, and the sound suddenly disappeared.

Then, Seraphina felt a hand on her shoulder.

The hand is warm.

It was as if all the fear and coldness that Seraphina had endured for such a long time disappeared completely the moment this hand appeared.

"rest assured……"

"I am here!"
