Betrayed by the Succubus, I Raise a Twelve-winged Angel

Chapter 453 - 454: A Special Transformation!

Not just Aster Grant...

A Twelve-Winged Angel engulfed in crimson flames, and an elf surrounded by a dense Law of Life.

The two flanked Aster Grant, protecting him from either side.

As soon as the trio arrived, their gazes locked onto the center of the battlefield.

On a figure with blood-red eyes and an incredibly violent aura of slaughter.

Veridia!

At this moment, her long hair danced wildly without wind.

The once-cool eyes were now completely overtaken by terrifying blood-red.

No familiar aura could be felt from Veridia, only a most primal desire for slaughter and destruction.

Veridia’s exquisite face was contorted with extreme pain and savagery.

The out-of-control Slaughter Law around her transformed into blood-colored flames, furiously burning her and everything nearby.

Seeing Veridia in such a state, Aster Grant’s body began to tremble violently.

Heartache!

Anger!

And a hint of fear flooded his mind.

He couldn’t imagine what would have happened to Veridia if he had arrived even a moment later!

Would she be completely tainted by Demonic Qi, or devoured entirely by the Slaughter Law, body and soul obliterated?

"Veridia..."

A low, hoarse voice rang out as Aster Grant slowly raised his head.

His gaze fixed on the root cause of all this.

The Totem Ninth Tier Demon Clan member!

"You... deserve to die!!"

Meanwhile, the sight of Veridia’s misery struck Lazuli and Vera to the core.

The uncontainable fury burned fiercely within Lazuli’s golden eyes.

Even though Veridia had arrived a bit late, the countless battles they had gone through cemented a deep friendship between them.

Seeing an old comrade reduced to such a state evoked an overwhelming urge to kill.

Vera, witnessing this, was equally shaken to her very soul.

Her slender fingers clenched tightly, almost piercing her palms.

Though she regarded Veridia as a rival...

It didn’t mean she would allow an outsider to harm Veridia.

Especially now, as Veridia was being eroded by both the Slaughter Law and Demonic Qi, it reminded Vera of when she was under the Insect Emperor’s Will Erosion.

Having been corrupted by another force, she could feel Veridia’s pain and despair even more strongly.

"Master..."

Vera’s voice carried an almost imperceptible tremor as she looked at Aster Grant.

Aster Grant didn’t turn back; his entire focus was on Veridia.

He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the turmoil in his heart.

In his deep eyes, there was nothing left but extreme killing intent.

His gaze slowly moved away from Veridia, sweeping over the remaining Corrupted Ghost Clan on the battlefield.

Finally, it landed on the Totem Ninth Tier Demon Clan member whose face was uncertain.

"Lazuli, Vera."

Aster Grant’s voice was eerily calm, yet carried a bone-chilling coldness.

"Present!"

The two Beastbond creatures responded in unison, their auras instantly reaching their peak!

They knew Aster Grant was truly enraged!

Aster Grant raised his hand, pointing to the Corrupted Ghost Clan below and the Totem Ninth Tier Demon Clan member, delivering his command word by word:

"All Demon Clan and Ghost Race present, regardless of rank, regardless of form..."

"Kill!"

"Leave no one alive!"

The last few words were almost roared by Aster Grant.

And as these words fell...

The Glaze Twelve-Wing suddenly unfurled, unleashing the endless Fire of Destruction upon the Corrupted Ghost Clan on the ground like a torrential downpour!

Vera’s body intertwined with the Law of Life and Devouring Law, boiling over.

Countless vines imbued with both laws wrapped like vipers, enveloping the Demon Clan on another side.

The slaughter began instantly!

Against these Corrupted Ghost Clan members, far weaker compared to their mere presence, Lazuli and Vera’s combined might was overwhelming.

Even the slightest touch of the Fire of Destruction turned these Ghost Race members to instant ash.

Vera’s vines were just as formidable.

Any Ghost Race member ensnared by the vines would have their life energy drained in an instant!

Screams and the sounds of demonic beast detonations rang out one after another, transforming the battlefield into a true Malorium!

Yet, the location where Veridia stood was a starkly different scene.

Aster Grant discovered only when he came near...

The Totem Ninth Tier Demon Clan member was surrounded by a strange, unique Demonic Qi.

At the same time, a condensed cord of Demonic Qi, akin to an umbilical cord, connected him to Veridia.

Fiercely staring at Aster Grant, his dark eyes brimming with anger.

At the final moment of his transformation, an anomaly had occurred.

Luckily...

Once Demon Clan transformation began, it couldn’t be stopped.

Even though this Beastbond’s master had arrived, the transformation of this Ghost Race member into a Demon Clan was already a fact.

"Hmph... Useless!"

"Even if you kill all the Demon Clan here, so what? This Ghost Race’s transformation is set in stone!"

Despite being unable to move freely while maintaining the transformation, his voice was filled with arrogance.

A herd of trash dying meant nothing to him.

Moreover...

Since he was utilizing the highest level of transformation within the Demon Abyss...

Contract transformation!

"At this moment, her soul temporarily cohabits with my demonic source!"

"Kill me, and her soul will perish too!"

"Harm me, and all damage will transfer through this cord, directly inflicted upon her fragile soul! Do you dare to act?!"

Seeing Aster Grant’s grave expression, his tone grew increasingly unrestrained:

"Once I succeed, utterly transforming this perfect slaughter weapon, it will herald your demise!"

"At that time, neither you, nor that angel and elf, will be spared from paying the most excruciating price."

Hearing these words, Aster Grant instantly stopped his intention to let Lazuli act.

If this Demon Clan member wasn’t deceiving him, then the situation was problematic.

Instinctively, he began to carefully inspect the strange Demonic Qi cord connecting the Demon General to Veridia.

But the more he probed, the more solemn his expression became.

What the Demon Clan member said was true.

He could sense that this cord forcibly tied Veridia’s Life Force with that of the Demon Clan member.

Whether to forcibly sever it or attack the caster would result in severe consequences.

Lazuli and Vera also noticed the anomaly there and, after sweeping through all demon beasts...

They swiftly returned to Aster Grant’s side, nervously watching Veridia and the Demon Clan member, not daring to make a move.

The situation reached an impasse momentarily.

Unable to act against this Demon Clan member, could they only watch helplessly as Veridia was transformed?

Yet, a glint of determination flashed in Aster Grant’s eyes.

He couldn’t attack this Demon Clan member, but perhaps he could attempt to interfere or even reverse the process from Veridia’s side!

After all, the Celestial Grace talent could interfere with the transformations at the Pseudo-God level.

There was no reason it couldn’t aid Veridia!

Thus, Aster Grant took decisive action:

"Celestial Grace!"

A gentle golden light imbued with purification instantly enveloped Veridia’s body...

Focusing especially on the Demonic Qi connecting cord!

"Buzz—!"

An extraordinary scene unfolded!
