Chapter 71

"The four sides of God? How boring "Negri stood up from his throne.

"But since they extended their hand to me, I should return the favor" Negri's figure slowly faded away: "I'll leave this matter to you, Sieh Mother-in-law"

"Yes, Sir Negri, kekeke!"

…

Interkam, Skoro territory.

The young lady Ellis was standing by the window of the castle's attic, watching the knights training in the meadow below with one hand propping up her face while daydreaming.

Originally, she could still stay in the bustling city, hold a salon with the other noble ladies, talk about life and ideals with the poets and musicians, but the war destroyed everything.

Viscount Skoro's family returned to their territory, and Ellis could only follow them, leaving the bustling city and returning to the Skoro territory that she thought was the countryside.

Here, there were only knights training and preparing for battle every day, as well as farmers and women who were busy with farm work every day. Without any entertainment, she felt like she was going crazy.

"Hm?" Ellis suddenly noticed something happening in the distance. A young man seemed to be peeking at the knights' training outside the castle. After he was discovered, several knights grabbed the young man, tied his hands with ropes, threw him onto a nearby tree, and began whipping him with horsewhips.

"Amy, that young man is too pitiful, ask him to come here, clean him up and bring him to me" Ellis smirked and said.

"Young Mistress, Master said …" Maid Amy, who was at the side, said cautiously.

"Go, listen to me" Ellis cut off Amy's words and rudely ordered: "Or else I'll reward you with a few whips as well"

A few moments later, the young man who was whipped was brought to Ellis's attic.

Looking at the pitiful appearance of the boy who was wearing linen clothes that didn't fit him and had several red marks all over his body, Ellis closed the window, then told Ai Mi to close the door and told the boy: "Come here, let me take a look at your wounds"

The young man felt uneasy and didn't dare to come forward. Ellis didn't get angry either and cautiously approached the young man who was in a defensive state. She lightly scratched the young man's hair with her hand, then gently stroked the red marks on the young man's face.

The force of her fingers wasn't heavy, but it was enough to cause the wounds to feel numb and itchy, causing the young man to twist his body awkwardly.

"Does it hurt?" Ellis softly asked. After spraying the perfume, her soft voice seemed to also be exhaling a fragrant scent, causing the young boy to gulp.

"Hehehe." The noblewoman chuckled a few times, her hand caressing the boy's wound. She opened her mouth slightly and inched closer to the boy. Her delicate face was right in front of the boy, her warmth and fragrance further stimulating his nerves.

But in the next moment, Ellis didn't hesitate to use her sharp nails to pinch the boy's wounds. Hearing the boy's painful screams, Ellis covered her mouth and giggled: "How is it? Bastard, did you feel pain because you thought I was going to kiss you? "

Ellis excitedly picked up the whip and lashed it on the boy's body while uttering joyful words: "Really, you lowly bastard, just being able to bring me joy is your greatest honor"

Back in the city, Ellis and a few other noble ladies' greatest joy was to hold a salon, bringing vagrants, beggars, and civilian children to the salon and enjoying themselves by abusing these lowly bastards.

Looking at the helpless young man under her whipping, Ellis became more and more excited. She kept lashing and forced the boy into a corner, the etiquette that she usually maintained also disappeared at this moment.

Or rather, it was because they had to interact with the upper echelons of society, so they had to maintain the etiquette of nobles at all times, like a mask that they had to wear, keeping them in a constant state of depression.

But once they were freed from that state of depression, they would become extremely crazy, as if they had become a completely different person. No one would be able to associate this crazy woman who was excitedly whipping the boy in the corner with the delicate and sweet young lady Ellis from the ball.

Ellis put down the whip and tightly gripped the boy's neck. Seeing that the boy was about to suffocate, she finally let go, raised her foot, and kicked the boy's body, continuously grinding it.

Just as young lady Ellis was unleashing her madness, inside her attic, two Hales members wearing black masks with white teardrops at the corners of their eyes were discussing in a low voice.

"Can you confirm the target?" One of the Hales members whispered: "Although Interkam has fallen into internal strife and the Church of Divine Grace is a bit tired from dealing with it, those rabid dogs wouldn't care about the destruction of their country. It's fine if the target is correct, but if the target isn't correct and attracts those rabid dogs …"

"Don't worry, I've confirmed it several times. The target has the potential to become an Error. Under the power of the ritual, the target will surely become an Evil Spirit and contribute to the descent of the Black Abyss" the other Hales member confirmed.

"If that's the case, let's prepare the ritual and turn the entire Koslo territory into a sacrifice" one of the Hales members walked through the door.

One of the Hales passed through the door. Amy, who was listening to the young man's screams, was trembling in fear. She was afraid that such a fate would befall her one day.

However, the blade that suddenly pierced through her chest made her no longer worried. The Hales pulled out the blade and dealt with the maid Amy's body without hesitation. The organs were placed in different areas along with the blood, then a grey-white stone covered in runes was placed into the maid's empty stomach.

This way, the girl's Life Essence and Soul Essence could no longer be temporarily preserved by the stone and become part of the ritual. This would greatly facilitate the birth of an Evil Spirit, perhaps even allowing the Evil Spirit to possess decent strength as soon as it was born.

The Hales didn't stop there. After dealing with the body, they continued forward, killing everyone on sight, regardless of gender, age, or status. Under the ritual blade of the Hales, everyone was the same.

Ellis was still abusing the boy, unaware that besides herself, almost everyone else in the castle was already dead. The other Hales also didn't do anything and simply silently watched as Ellis' abuse became more and more excessive.

At some unknown point, a layer of black mist had slowly risen from the castle. A strange silence enveloped the entire castle, but Ellis, who was in a state of excitement, didn't notice it at all.

The boy in the corner was already barely breathing and could die at any moment. The Hales member who stood still finally took out the ritual blade and stabbed it into Ellis' head without hesitation.
