Magic Chronicles : Fallen Race

Similarly, "of course," he did not touch the dish either.

Blood pomegranate grows alongside the fetus in a pregnant woman, absorbing the life force of the fetus. Most children born after consuming blood pomegranate end up with low intelligence, disabilities, and various diseases, rarely living to adulthood.

And indeed, humans consuming blood pomegranate rich in life force can indeed beautify and resist aging.

But shortly after consumption, it not only induces strong hypnotic effects but also slows down the blood flow throughout the body.

This wouldn't be an issue under normal circumstances, but in combat, it would lead to severe blood deficiency, causing dizziness and instability, which is extremely deadly.

On the other side.

Seeing that after her long explanation, Reji just listened and still had no intention of eating, Ariel's smile had become somewhat forced and stiff.

Especially seeing that Shermen also hadn't touched any of these "delicious dishes" at all.

"Are you not hungry? Then how about this, let's start with some appetizer soup. Please promise Ariel, you must drink this time, okay? This is a dinner Ariel prepared specially to thank you both.

If you don't eat at all, Ariel will be very upset! My parents will definitely scold Ariel too!"

The lady's tone was now a bit off.

This time, under Ariel's eye signal, the maid immediately served a pot of richly aromatic soup, seemingly made from some high-quality bone broth, to Reji and Shermen, each serving them a bowl.

But this time, Reji didn't even bother to ask again.

He just shook his head directly at Ariel.

"What do you mean?"

"Do you not like Ariel, or do you not like these lavish dishes? What else do you want? What does Ariel need to do before you'll eat!!"

The noble miss at the head of the table, seeing Reji's shake of the head, finally exploded.

She no longer had her previous cute and lively demeanor. Her pretty face was now overtaken by twisted and furious expressions.

Ariel's dark, menacing gaze fixated on Reji and Shermen, like a hunter who had run out of patience after watching her prey evade her traps repeatedly.

"Why... There was no need for this... Just leave it to Ariel... Everything should have been according to Ariel's wishes, it was a dinner Ariel had been looking forward to for so long, why...

why... why!!!"

"Drink!"

"Drink it now! Why won't you drink!!" The young lady, with a ferocious expression, let out a heart-wrenching scream of rage.

Across the dining table, seeing this, Reji sighed.

"Miss Ariel, you still have one chance to cooperate with the questioning, a simple way out."

Reji came to Ariel's place, initially, just to investigate the "demon egg" clue found on the little cat.

He really hoped that the noble miss was innocent, unaware of it.

But the reality was truly cruel.

The beast-hearted Ariel at the dining table, such a "mischievous" lady, had already been condemned to death in Reji's heart.

Reji gave her one last chance.

A simple way to die.

The other option Reji didn't mention was to treat her, like the previous owner of the Lunari Trade Group, as a little gift for the Decay Demon Eris.

And now, Ariel had entirely chosen the latter.

"What are you waiting for!"

"Take action!!"

"Everyone, take action!! Capture these two despicable, filthy mother F!@** foreigners!!"

Whether it was because the facade was completely torn or indeed infuriated by Reji and Shermen, Ariel directly spewed out foul language.

Correspondingly, those maids who were serving Reji, bringing him water and dishes, instantly changed roles, swiftly pulling out daggers from under their skirts.

The gleaming daggers in the candlelight of the dining room, with a hint of eerie green on the blade, were probably enhanced with poison.

Six maids wielding poisoned daggers, divided into two groups, four attacked in Reji's direction, and two towards Shermen.

Such clear division of labor and skilled actions were obviously not their first time.

Unfortunately, this time they had provoked the wrong person.

The two maids attacking Shermen only saw a blur before the small adventurer girl with purple short hair disappeared from her seat.

Before they could react, the screams of their companions on the other side had already reached them.

Shermen, of course, prioritized Reji as the core.

The other four maids attacking Reji hadn't even covered five meters before Shermen's petite body had already intercepted them all.

Since Reji had forbidden the use of spells, Shermen relied solely on physical techniques and bodily strength here.

Even so, the fight was completely one-sided.

In Shermen's eyes, the four assassin maids seemed as if they were moving in slow motion.

Dashing to the forefront maid, Shermen showed no mercy as she punched towards her abdomen.

The struck maid immediately bent over violently, like being hit by a speeding carriage, and under Shermen's precise calculation, perfectly crashed into another companion behind her.

Both spewed blood and flew back, crashing into the wall, their bodies collapsing like mud, evidently having all their internal organs shattered by the powerful impact, left only to await death.

With another spin, Shermen raised her leg high and whipped it towards the heads of the other two maid assassins.

This was more brutal, showing Shermen had no intention of showing mercy or sparing their beauty, the maid's once pretty face burst into a mist of blood in the air.

Two headless maids, whose blood gushed like fountains after their heads were blown off, thudded down at Shermen's feet.

And the entire process, from the perspective of bystanders, seemed like just a moment of distraction. The four maid assassins had already been completely annihilated, truly "instantly killed" on the spot.

There was no helping it.

Shermen was just too fast.

The remaining two maids, who were originally tasked with the "weaker" Shermen, turned back only to find their companions' gruesome deaths and the huge gap between them, which had already terrified them.

They looked at Shermen as if she were a monster, starting to back away in fear.

Puchi! Puchi!

A huge mouth bit down from above directly towards the two maids attempting to flee, splitting the unresponsive maids in half alive, their entire upper bodies being torn and chewed.

This was not an attack from Shermen.

After all, Reji had requested, Shermen was not allowed to use spells, even her physical strength had to be controlled to about twenty to thirty percent.

The owner of this giant mouth now, appearing beside Ariel, was a six or seven meters tall, nearly reaching the dining room's ceiling, a

Cat-shaped monster.

Although it is said to be cat-shaped, the monster's body is in a state of decay.

It has four pairs of eyes, its cat tail mutated into sharp barbs, its gaping maw revealing rows of serrated sharp teeth, still chewing on the previously bitten-to-death, two maids' blurred upper bodies.

After devouring the flesh and blood of the two maids, the monster secreted more saliva from its salivary glands. Its even redder, hunger-thirsty eyes fiercely fixed on Reji and Shermen.

"Waste... A bunch of useless waste!!"

"Bululu, it still has to be my most beloved, my favorite Bululu to take action!"

Beside the monster, the noble miss, cupping her cheeks, showing a sickly affectionate look, seemingly indifferent to the fact that her family's maid assassin squad had been wiped out.

Ariel was affectionately stroking back and forth the giant zombie cat beside her.

The girl's cute and pretty appearance, now paired with the madness and the bloody monster beside her, formed a bizarre contrast.

And then Ariel screamed.

Her expression changed, her ruthless gaze directed at Reji and Shermen.

"Ariel hates you! I don't want you as my toys anymore!"

"I want... you to die!"

"Go! Bululu! Eat them! If you do, I'll ask mommy and daddy for more 'cat food 'for you, help you evolve!

Make you truly become a part of our family, become like us... a true demon!"
