I stared the devil in the eyes. My answer couldnât have been more obvious or louder. The devil, however, seemed confident that he would get what he wanted. If the situation were different, I couldnât entirely disagreeâperhaps even in the Dark Realm, only a handful could refuse himâbut today, he was bound to be disappointed.
However, just as I was about to use my last-resort skillâthe only skill in my arsenal that depended entirely on anotherâs generosityâCorey stepped off Lilâ Baemâs back and asked aloud, "Wyatt, do you trust me?"
At the same moment, a brilliant light burst from both Lilâ Baem and Corey as they fused into their humanoid fusion form. Coreyâs body was now clad in white scale armor, while a golden shawl draped over her shoulders and around arms. Her pupils were slit, resembling a snakeâs eyes, and she bore a pair of sharp fangs and a white, scaled tail.
The scales on her armor tilted upward slightly, releasing a cloud of gray mist that began to push against the domain itself. Slowly, it forced back the golden hue, replacing it with a dull gray as it corroded a portion of the domain and claimed it as her own.
"Wyatt, Lilâ Baem and I created this move to counter your double Celestial Rule Domain. What do you think? Since his domain obliterated yours and mine punched a hole through his, does that mean my new move is stronger than your Celestial Rule Domain? I win, right?"
Corey gloated, while the devil looked at her in amazement. Catching his gaze, she met it with a wider grin.
"So, you want me to join your family, right? Why wouldnât you? I donât blame youâI blame my talent."
"So, it was you." "
"Fascinating~"
"Vapour Venom capable of corroding faith. It seems to have a will of its ownâable to distinguish its targets from its allies. I would certainly like to study it. After all, there arenât many things in the Myriad Realms that can be used against faith."
The devil was surprised to learn that Corey was responsible for the gray mist. He had assumed it would be the boy or one of the card demigods, but noâit was her. More precisely, her pet snake.
However, he was indeed impressed by Coreyâs display of power, though not in the way she assumed. What truly caught his interest was Lilâ Baemâs venomâreleased in vapor form, manifesting as the gray mist before them. In his mind, he was already placing her on a study table as a specimen, not welcoming her into his family as Corey believed to be.
Why would he? She was not only a demon merchant and she possessed a skill capable of undermining faith itself. To him, she wasnât a potential recruit, but a threat that needed to be nipped in the bud. If he didnât want to study her vapour venom, he would have killed her already. What astonished him most was that Corey didnât seem to understand this. He wasnât alone, the Field Marshal, her young lord, and Karl also wondered the same thing.
"What?"
When she finally grasped what the devil meant, she stared at him in disbelief. She couldnât understand why he wouldnât invite her to join his family and instead chose to put a target on her headâespecially after she had proven herself stronger than her boss.
âItâs true,â
she thought bitterly.
âTrue talent is persecuted and rarely celebrated.â
"No matter how much you struggle in this domain, itâs all moot. Just sit back and wait, i will come to you after you are done here."
The devil spent a considerable amount of faith not only reclaiming the portion of the domain Corey had corrupted with Lilâ Baemâs vapor venom, but also restoring it. The patch of gray was once again washed over by a golden hue. For the devil, this expenditure of faith was little more than a drop in a vast bucket. For the Emissary of Light, however, it was anything but trivial.
Having seen the kind of enemies the Emissary of Light had been facing, the devil no longer blamed him for his current state and stepped in to purge the lingering gray mist surrounding the Emissary.
As soon as the gray mist restraining him dissipated, the Emissaryâs spirit surged with spare faith. He used it to fight off the vampiric hold of the sword lodged in his skull and forced it free. As his brain regenerated and life returned to him, he took in his surroundings. The moment his gaze fell upon the devil, he immediately bowed.
"Thank you, Your Highness Konjur."
"This oneâs on the house. The family takes care of its ownâespecially those who contribute. Kidd Khan, youâve served the Faith Order for decades without complaint. Itâs the familyâs turn to help you."
"But youâre not out of hot water yet, Kidd. Go find out what the problem is and reinstate the flow of faith. The family gets its share on time, regardless of the situation on your end. You have three hours. Get going."
Without waiting for a response, the devil delivered his ultimatum, expecting Kidd to move at once. Yet Kidd remained where he stood, a frustrated look tightening his face. It was clear he wanted to say something, but didnât know howâheld back by the fear of what might follow.
"What is it? Out with it already!"
"Your Highness Konjur... thatâs no longer possible. Theyâve erased my entire existence from this world. My memories, everything Iâve doneâanything even remotely connected to me has been altered. Theyâve made it as if I never existed at all."
"What?"
The devil exclaimed as he listened to Kidd. His gaze shifted to the four standing before him, horror creeping into his eyes as he tried to grasp how such a thing was even possible. How could someone erase a personâs presence in the world completely in such a small amount of time? Was one of them capable of reality warping?
