On one side is a beautiful past life with a gentle lover and a leisurely and comfortable life.

The other side was covered with thorns, and in hell, only demons were keeping him company.

Are you going to give up?

Lor stared blankly at the endless darkness outside the window. The soft and warm breath of the girl behind him seemed to urge him to make a decision.

Even if you continue to struggle, there will be no good ending.

In order to survive, he kept paying the price and signed one contract after another with the devil.

If you escape this time, there will be a next time, until even your soul is sold and your body is thrown into the abyss and turned into rotten black mud.

Is there really any meaning in living in ugliness and filth?

It is better to immerse yourself in the fantasy dream. At least at this moment, it is beautiful...

"No, never!"

Lor opened his eyes, his delicate eyes filled with a tired yet determined light.

"I want to live. I want to live by any means necessary, even if I lose my freedom, even if I become as lowly as dust."

"…Even if I have to be with the devil, I will live on."

Lor broke free from the girl's arms and rushed into the endless darkness outside the classroom door.

The world before my eyes shattered like a mirror.

Miss Yasha's hoarse voice became clearly audible, and Lor opened his eyes, his pupils shrinking slightly.

I didn't know when I had walked into the arms of the mummy, standing on tiptoe, as if I wanted to offer myself to the Grand Duke, and the hideous and sharp thorns in the Grand Duke's mouth were only an inch away from my throat.

Just one more step and I would die here.

"It's unbelievable that you woke up..."

Miss Yasha's hoarse voice sounded very weak. Lor took a few steps back and left the presence of the Duke of Mummy.

Although he was still in shock, Lor suddenly laughed out loud. He had understood everything.

"So this is Ilandani's plan? If the Grand Duke has completely lost his ability to resist, I can successfully kill him with the water of the Styx, and everything will be fine."

"But if the Archduke is still alive, I will be the blood sacrifice who will put him to sleep again."

"What will you do if that's the case?" Miss Yasha was silent for a moment and asked herself in her heart.

"There's no reason why she should get all the good things."

Lor looked at his fair and slender arms.

"Ms. Yasha, can you be sharp?"

"what are you up to?"

Sticky black mud rose from Lor's shadow and gradually intertwined into a long and thin tentacle. Lor lowered his hand and held the tentacle in his palm.

"Cut my palm open."

The tentacles changed their posture in the palm of the hand, becoming hard and sharp, like a pitch-black blade.

Lor clenched it tightly until the blade cut through the tendons and sank into the bone.

"Don't you want to use me as a blood sacrifice?"

Lor endured the severe pain, a beautiful smile blooming on his delicate little face. He could even hear Miss Yasha's heavy breathing in his heart.

"My blood is right here, come and get it yourself if you want!"

Fresh blood flowed from the wound, carrying a strange fragrance. Lor swung his hand towards the mummy duke, then turned around and ran away.

The blood drew an arc in the air, and a few drops fell on the archduke's skull. The eye sockets that had originally become silent were then rekindled with black light.

"Holy Grail..."

"do not go……"

The Grand Duke's withered body was soaked in blood, and the thorns around it grew again. The thorns that spread out from her mouth shot towards the running Lor like a python coming out of a cave.

Lor felt the sound of the wind breaking rapidly behind him and shouted without turning his head.

"help me!"

The next second, the shadow under his feet expanded and turned into a dark cave. Lor felt as if he had stepped on empty air and fell into the shadow.

Lor only felt that the world became dark and filled with a suffocating feeling as if he was stuffed into a small space. The scenery around him was changing rapidly, and he could vaguely recognize that he was still in the thorn forest.

When Lor was about to suffocate, the pressure suddenly eased and he fell out of the shadows. When he looked back, he was already hundreds of meters away from the mummy.

The deadly thorns missed their target and shrunk back to the Grand Duke. As if realizing that his prey was about to escape, the Grand Duke's body stepped down from the throne of thorns for the first time.

The thorns growing inside its body supported it as it chased in the direction where Lor fled.

The earth began to emit a dull low sound, and the entire thorn forest woke up little by little.

"what happened?"

Ilandani frowned, sensing the movement in the thorn forest.

"That woman has revived again? It seems that she failed, but why did even Xue Ji wake up early..."

But soon, she saw Lor's weak figure staggering out from the edge of the thorn forest.

Not dead yet? How is that possible!

Ilandani's speed was far beyond Lor's imagination. She appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye. Before Lor could react, she raised her hand and grabbed his neck.

"What did you do? Why did Bloodthorn suddenly revive?"

Ilandani's face was cold and there was no emotion on her handsome face.

"Cough, cough... I didn't do anything," Lor felt he was about to suffocate. He was about to ask Miss Yasha for help in his heart, but Ilandani's attention was attracted by something else.

"How is this possible..." Ilandani looked at the figure standing at the edge of the forest in disbelief.

The Grand Duke's image at this moment can no longer be considered human.

The holes on the skull were now covered with thorns. Dozens of thorns that grew out of the skull's body were like spider limbs that stuck into the ground, supporting the body as it walked.

After noticing Ilandani, the Grand Duke roared like a wild beast.

"...my...daughter," countless thorns broke out of the ground and shot towards Ilandani.

"... become the nourishment for my... new life!"

"Don't even think about it!" Ilandani threw Lor aside, and the ground in front of her also sprouted several blood-red thorns to guard her.

"I'll deal with you later."

"Cough, cough, cough." Lor lay on the side, holding his throat with difficulty. He took a few deep breaths and looked over there.

At this moment, countless blood-colored thorns intertwined together, colliding and tearing violently. On one side was a wolf spider-like mummy monster, and on the other side was a humanoid monster standing on a thorn that rose from the ground.

Both sides had nothing to do with the concept of human beings. Wielding the same power, the two monsters fought each other. The entire thorn forest began to flow, and countless blood-red thorns attacked each other under their orders.

The inheritance of Grand Duke Jizui will be decided today.
