Lily's heart raced as Malachi's gaze met hers, his eyes now reflecting a darkness that seemed to devour the very light around them. The room felt heavy with an otherworldly presence, and the air grew thick with tension.
The maids gasped in horror, their faces pale as they exchanged fearful glances. The whispers of demonic voices seemed to grow louder, swirling around them like a malevolent chorus.
“HAHAHAHA!”
Malachi's lips curled into a sinister smile, and his voice carried a chilling edge as he finally spoke. "Lily, my dear, you've stumbled into a place you were never meant to see."
Lily took a step back, trembling in fright as she couldn’t process what she saw.
“W—who are you? No. What are you?”
“I am death.”
Lily's breath caught in her throat as Malachi's words reverberated in the air. The chilling resonance of his voice seemed to penetrate deep into her bones, and her mind struggled to make sense of the horrifying scene unfolding before her.
The maids whimpered, their eyes wide with terror, as they exchanged terrified glances. The whispers of the demonic voices echoed around them, growing more urgent and menacing.
Lily's voice quivered as she managed to utter, "Death? What do you mean?"
“It means that I can finally do what I couldn’t in my past life. I was about to look for you when I finished the ritual, but instead you came to me willingly.”
"Stay back!" Lily's voice wavered, but she tried to sound stronger than she felt.
Malachi's laughter echoed through the chamber, a maddening sound that seemed to fill every corner of the room. “I won’t miss the opportunity to kill you. With your death, I will be able to vent my anger!”
Lily's eyes widened in horror, the gravity of his words hitting her like a tidal wave. She turned to the maids, her voice pleading. "Run! Run and get help!"
But before the maids could move, Malachi's eyes blazed with an unholy light, and his hand shot out, a dark energy coalescing around it.
"No!" Lily screamed, but it was too late.
In an instant, the maids were engulfed in a nightmarish torrent of energy. Their screams were drowned out by the cacophony of demonic whispers that seemed to surge in response to the dark magic being unleashed.Lily's world spun, her mind unable to process the horror before her. The maids' forms contorted and twisted, their bodies undergoing a grotesque transformation. Their agonized cries were cut short as their heads were decapitated.
The lantern fell to the floor. Its flame flickering but manage to stay lit.
Lily's legs gave out, and she collapsed to the ground, her breath coming in ragged sobs. Her eyes were wide with terror, her entire being overwhelmed by the sheer malevolence that radiated from Malachi.
Lily's voice trembled as she managed to whisper, "What are you going to do to me?”
“What I have been wanting to do for a long time.”
Malachi raised his palm and dark energy engulfed Lily before she screamed in pain as her skin began to ooze smoke. Her white porcelain skin was turning red at first, then blistering before it began to peel, melt, and char.
Her clothes had long disappeared, devoured by the black goo.
Suddenly, cuts appeared all over her body as if hundreds of razors were slicing at her.
Lily's body convulsed in agony as the dark energy consumed her, an inferno of pain that seared through every fiber of her being. Her skin, once smooth and fair, now twisted and contorted in response to the malevolent magic that enveloped her. The intense heat emanating from the dark energy turned her flesh into a furnace, causing her to writhe and thrash on the ground.
“AHH! IT BURNS! STOP THIS AT ONCE!”
The torment was indescribable, a symphony of torment that assaulted her senses from all directions. The burning sensation was relentless, an unyielding fire that devoured her from the inside out. Her vision blurred with tears as her body trembled uncontrollably, each nerve ending aflame with searing torment.
The once-melodic whispers of demonic voices now sounded like a cacophony of nightmarish screams, echoing in her mind and intensifying her suffering. It was as if her very existence was being torn apart, her consciousness adrift in a sea of excruciating pain.
The cuts that appeared on her body felt like knives being dragged across her skin, leaving trails of blood and aching wounds in their wake. Every movement, every breath, was a reminder of the agony that held her captive. The layers of her skin seemed to bubble and blister, the air filled with the acrid scent of burning flesh.
Lily's voice, once filled with defiance, had transformed into an unending chorus of agonized cries. She begged for mercy, her pleas echoing off the walls of the chamber, but the malevolent force that gripped her showed no signs of relenting. Her consciousness teetered on the edge of darkness as the pain threatened to overwhelm her entirely.
“PLEASE STOP THIS!”
Time became an abstract concept, lost in the maelstrom of suffering. Lily's world had narrowed down to the overwhelming sensation of pain, an all-encompassing reality that consumed her every thought, every breath. She clung to the last threads of her sanity, desperately praying for an end to the torment that had become her existence.
Malachi raised his hand and a sword formed of dark energy appeared.
“Consider this mercy as I have condensed my years of sufferings into one tiny moments of torture for you.”
He drove the sword into her neck, ending her sufferings once and for all.
Suddenly, a thunderous voice came from the side.
“YOU DEMON! I WILL KILL YOU A THOUSAND TIME!” Aldric screamed at the top of his lung before lunging towards Malachi.

Chapter 81 Contract By Blood
After the unsettling events of the evening, Malachi made his way back to his room within the estate, his footsteps echoing softly in the dimly lit corridors. Upon entering, he gracefully sank onto the bed, exhaling a calculated sigh of feigned exhaustion. He sprawled there, his posture a picture of weariness, yet his mind was anything but at rest. Malachi was acutely aware of the ever-watchful eyes that monitored his every move, invisible threads of scrutiny woven throughout the noble’s domain.No sooner had he settled than the door creaked open, revealing a maid pushing a cart laden with refreshments: a pitcher of fresh orange juice, an assortment of fruits, and an array of snacks. She approached with a quiet efficiency, placing the cart beside him with a deferential bow before turning to leave, her movements practiced and unobtrusive.Malachi’s gaze followed her departure, a smirk playing at the corners of his mouth, appreciating the predictable routine of hospitality—or perhaps, su
Chapter 80 Hidden Danger
In the moonlit garden of the estate, an air of anticipation and amusement filled the air as Malachi and the tall, blonde nobleman faced each other. The gathering of nobles, drawn by the prospect of a light sparring session between the renowned Malachi and one of their own, stood around in a semi-circle, their expressions ranging from curiosity to outright glee.The nobleman, his rapier hanging elegantly at his waist, introduced himself with a flourish. “I am Lord Edric, a humble practitioner of the blade,” he said, his voice carrying a note of pride. He offered Malachi a slight nod, the gesture a subtle acknowledgment of respect typically given to a commoner by a noble.Malachi, understanding the nuances of the gesture, responded in kind. He bent his knees slightly and bowed his head, maintaining eye contact with Lord Edric. This posture indicated his respect for the noble’s status, yet it also conveyed his readiness to engage fully in the spar.As they prepared to begin, another nobl
Chapter 79 Banquet
As Malachi stepped into the grand hall of the estate, he was immediately struck by the opulence that surrounded him. The room was a dazzling array of colors and lights, filled with beautiful women in flowing gowns and handsome nobles in their finest attire. Each person there held a tall standing, rulers of their own territories, their power and influence palpable in the air.Surveying the room, Malachi couldn’t help but think that this gathering was much more significant than he had initially anticipated. The small, relatively poor town he had been staying in seemed an unlikely place to draw the attention of such high-ranking nobility. His reputation, it seemed, had spread far and wide, or perhaps these nobles were facing a threat so grave that they were willing to use any means to increase their odds of survival.As he mingled through the crowd, a noble approached him. The man carried himself with an air of authority and grace, his eyes sharp and assessing.“Master Malachi, it’s a
Chapter 78 Invitation
In the heart of the city, amidst the bustling training grounds, Malachi was deeply engaged in instructing a group of new recruits. His methods were unconventional, yet highly effective, drawing a crowd of onlookers who watched in awe. The children he had trained stood by, observing and learning from his every move.As Malachi demonstrated a complex maneuver, a soldier approached him, navigating through the crowd with a sense of purpose. The soldier, clad in the city’s guard uniform, carried himself with a respectful demeanor.“Master Malachi,” the soldier called out, drawing Malachi’s attention. The recruits paused, turning to witness the interaction.Malachi turned, his expression calm and inquisitive. “What is it?” he asked, his tone neither welcoming nor dismissive.The soldier bowed slightly, a sign of deep respect. “I bring a message for you, sir,” he said, extending his hand to present a magnificent letter. The envelope was adorned with gold embellishments, its craftsmanship ind
Chapter 77 Absolute Victory
As Garrick, driven by a mix of rage and desperation, charged towards Malachi, the air around them seemed to crackle with tension. Malachi, his expression unchanging, calmly assessed his adversary. He knew the bandit leader was no match for him, but he also understood the importance of making a statement.In a fluid, almost effortless motion, Malachi extended his hand, summoning the shadows around him. A bolt of dark energy, pulsating with malevolent power, coalesced in his palm. With a flick of his wrist, he released the Dark Bolt, directing it straight at Garrick.The bolt tore through the air with a hiss, striking Garrick squarely in the chest. The impact was devastating, the dark energy consuming him in an instant. Garrick’s body crumpled to the ground, lifeless, a look of shock forever etched on his face.As Garrick fell, a notification flashed.[You have killed a bandit].[You have received 20 soul points]. These acknowledgments of his deed were mere formalities to Malachi, insi
Chapter 76 Bandit vs Children
The aftermath of the raid was a scene of chilling efficiency. The bandits, with ruthless precision, gathered the trembling women and herded them back to their camp. The night air was heavy with a mix of fear and resignation as the captives shuffled along, their futures uncertain.At the camp, the bandits, with a twisted sense of hospitality, allowed their captives to clean themselves. The women, still in shock, moved robotically, their minds numbed by the night’s horrors.As the women bathed under the watchful eyes of their captors, Malachi observed them with a detached curiosity. His gaze was analytical, searching for any sign of rebellion or escape plans. But all he saw were broken spirits and defeated bodies.Later, as the bandits gathered around a roaring fire, the leader, a burly man named Garrick, made his appearance. His eyes, dark and calculating, scanned the captives with a predatory gaze. “Well done, boys,” he praised his men. “A fine haul tonight.”Malachi, still in his dis
