What was scarier than death?
Living a life worse than death!
Especially for a near-immortal being like Bloody Mary, the frosty air that could freeze one's soul and the golden radiance that could restore everything in the next moment. Bloody Mary was on the verge of crying.
Although it would die in the past, it was only a matter of seconds.
But now?
Back and forth, it kept repeating itself.
"Boss, what are you trying to do?
Can you hurry up? "
Bloody Mary shouted loudly.
Kieran looked at Lady Thorn quietly.
Bloody Mary was anxious.
It knew its boss was a person who liked to observe and think, but no matter how much he liked to observe and think, he had to consider the situation.
One needed to know that Bloody Mary was being tortured like never before!
Right away, Bloody Mary had a thought in its heart … but it dared not say it.
It dared not say it!
Under the influence of the contract, if Bloody Mary dared to say it out loud, it would be waiting for its death.
What should it choose between torture and true death?
Choose from the heart.
Bloody Mary made its choice without a second thought.
Then, since it was helpless and could only endure the torture passively, it turned its attention to its enemy.
"Huh?"
Amid the shock, Bloody Mary widened its eyes.
It realized Lady Thorn only attacked itself and ignored its boss, who had been healing it.
'What happened?
Why did she ignore boss?
'Is it because I'm too attractive?'
Doubts rose in Bloody Mary's heart.
"Scold her."
Suddenly, through the power of the contract, Kieran's voice sounded in its heart.
"What?"
Bloody Mary was stunned.
"Scold her!
Use your most vicious words to scold her! "
Kieran repeated.
"Understood!"
Bloody Mary gave Kieran an affirmative answer before looking at Lady Thorn. It took in a deep breath and shouted with its loudest voice, "Hey, you son of a b * tch!"
Fuuu!
The blizzard got stronger, drowning Bloody Mary in an instant.
Kieran waved his hand and shrouded Bloody Mary with [King's Praise] while he strode towards Lady Thorn.
He wanted to prove something.
When he was less than 10 meters away from Lady Thorn, Kieran paused.
Because, a wave of frost shot towards him.
However, after Kieran dispersed the frost and backed off, Lady Thorn's attention returned to Bloody Mary.
After several attempts, Kieran finally came to a conclusion: Lady Thorn didn't have a mind of her own, all she had was a pattern.
It was a pattern that Kieran was very familiar with.
For example, the 'insulter' was a weakling and could not be forgiven.
For example, the offender should be given a chance.
For example: Thorns were only an obstacle, while frost was a weapon that could tear one's body apart.
…
These descriptions appeared in Kieran's mind involuntarily.
Before he became the archpriest of the real Lady Thorn, Kieran had gone through the scriptures of Thorn Temple and there were too many descriptions that matched the description of Lady Thorn before him.
"Lady Thorn who conforms to the canon?"
"No, it's not conforming, it's what people expect …"
"This is where the problem lies?"
After guessing something in his heart, Kieran didn't waste any more time. He ordered Bloody Mary to continue insulting Lady Thorn before he strode over to Lady Thorn.
Fuuu!
The freezing cold air together with the blizzard blew at Kieran like tiny knives. It didn't just drown Kieran's body, it also covered all possible escape routes for Kieran.
Foresight!
It was one of the most important things people knew about Lady Thorn.
No attack could escape Lady Thorn's eyes, and any whispers would be heard by Lady Thorn.
Her power was enough to strike despair in one's heart.
One would even feel fear before they even made a move.
The word 'fear' was used to describe Lady Thorn for quite a long period of time.
It was also the reason why Lady Thorn was one of the four Gods of Naveya.
However, since Kieran had walked out of the wrong path, he wasn't afraid at all!
Even if his movements were seen through, so what?
Even if he could foresee the future, so what?
As long as I'm faster than your eyes, your foresight is useless!
My body is strong enough to block any attack you throw at me!
My flames are strong enough to burn you to ashes!
KABOOM!
The snowflakes that were blown by the cold air flew into the sky in a deafening explosion. A six-meter-tall Lava Devil with a pair of straight horns on its head and a pair of blazing wings on its back descended abruptly as though it had crawled out of a bottomless abyss.
The high temperature distorted the surroundings.
The blizzard swiftly vanished.
The freezing air vanished as well.
Lady Thorn, who was controlling everything, grunted coldly again.
"Ka …"
KABOOM!
Before Lady Thorn could finish, a blazing blast wave that covered a hundred meters annihilated everything. Then, a 3-meter long, 1-meter wide blazing greatsword that looked like a city gate fell from the sky, followed by another series of explosions. The moment the magma devil picked up the beheader blazing sword and swung it around, a blazing whirlwind started to wreak havoc in the surroundings.
The freezing air vanished completely.
Lady Thorn's figure also disappeared along with him.
The outcome was decided.
The outcome was decided.
Feeling the power that belonged to him, Kieran curled his lips into a grin and carefully read through the words that appeared before his eyes.

…
Unlike the previous rank III, after the true evolution of Fusion Heart, the true Overlord Devil Bloodline was revealed before Kieran's eyes.
Powerful!
The increase of all attributes wasn't just a small rank anymore, it was a true leap of a major rank. It gave him the capital to turn the tables against powerful enemies.
With the buffs of [Fiery Sulphuric III] and [Blade of the Daybreaker], coupled with the current Devil Bloodline, Kieran had the capital to face a rank V enemy.
As for [Devil Libra]?
The appearance of the Devil Overlord Bloodline granted Kieran more options. It could even be said that when he faced some enemies, he didn't need any techniques anymore. All he needed to do was to face them head-on, crush them with his devil body and grind them on the ground.
Since Devil Transformation had reached such a level …
Then …
What would the Creature of Desire look like?
Even with Kieran's intellect, he was eager to see what the Creature of Desire looked like. However, it was just a thought.
Kieran wouldn't waste his resources.
Especially when the situation wasn't clear.
Huu!
With a scorching breath, Kieran in Devil Transformation looked at the scorched land further away.
It was the spot where Lady Thorn stood before.
Now?
A young figure appeared there.
He had flaxen hair, eyes of the same color, and a face that looked no more than 10 years old. He wore a linen shirt and was barefooted.
She looked like a normal human little girl.
"What a scary fella."
Praises that didn't match her age came from the little girl's mouth. Then, she walked up to Devil Kieran in a natural manner.
She didn't just ignore the scorching air, she even wanted to touch the magma body but Kieran dodged her.
"Lady Vanessa?"
After Devil Transformation, Kieran's voice was rough and heavy, like the hum of an earthquake.
"It's me."
The little girl pretended to nod maturely, as if she wanted to maintain the demeanor of Lady Thorn but the joy that rose from her heart made her raise her hand again, wanting to touch Kieran's devil body. The curiosity on her face couldn't be concealed.
"Cough, cough, cough.
I'm sorry.
I'm still not used to it after breaking free from the shackles. "
After Kieran dodged her hand again, Vanessa coughed lightly to cover her embarrassment.
"Shackles?
You just now? "
Kieran didn't care about the disguise, he asked what he was interested in.
"Em.
"A very ideal 'me' created by all the people of Naveya."
You should know how we appeared, right? "
Vanessa asked after nodding her head.
"I know, we appeared through some mystical items."
Kieran didn't hide the truth.
"Yes, through some mystical items, we walked on a shortcut and acquired powers that no one could imagine, but in the end, it became our shackles.
"No!"
It's not shackles, it's a prison!
A prison that erases one's own consciousness!
You would never know how pitiful it is after you become that kind of existence. "
A look of lingering fear appeared in Vanessa's eyes.
"The Power of Faith?"
Kieran didn't ask about the consequences, he went straight to the point.
"Of course!
You have a lot of questions now, right?
Too bad I can't explain it to you.
I have a time limit here, so go find that guy for the rest! "
Vanessa nodded again and wanted to leave, but Kieran stopped her.
"What?"
Under Kieran's gaze, Vanessa looked at herself a little unnaturally.
Other than the lack of shoes, everything else was normal.
"Pay!
"I helped you!"
You deserve to be paid! "
Kieran said straightforwardly.
Vanessa was instantly taken aback.
She never thought Kieran would ask for payment from her.
"Aren't we on the same side?"
Vanessa asked.
"Yes.
But there's no discount. "
Kieran said with a serious face.
Under the premise of Demonification, this serious face was exceptionally intimidating. More accurately, it was extremely sinister and terrifying.
Vanessa was startled.
She took two steps back, but she felt that she would lose her poise. Then, Vanessa walked back to her original position.
She didn't answer right away.
She was thinking carefully. She was sure the promise she made with the God of Earth didn't include a specific plan for Kieran.
In simple words, it didn't mention payment or no payment.
She could pay.
Or not pay.
But …
Looking at Kieran in devil form and the blazing greatsword in his hand, Vanessa thought it wasn't a good idea since she had lost most of her strength.
She had no doubt that if she went back on her word, the blazing greatsword in Kieran's hand would chop her down.
"Fine, I'll pay you."
Around 10 seconds later, Vanessa suddenly thought of something, a joyful smile appeared on her young face. Then, before Kieran could ask, she waved her hand.
A formless, never-before-felt power touched Kieran's right eye. The right eye that was blinded by Lady Wealth and thrown into the River of Fate by Lady Thorn in the past, only to grow back.
A numb feeling spread from his right eye.
It felt like something was going to happen.
Yet, it felt like nothing had happened.
When the feeling faded, so did Vanessa.
The surroundings changed too.
Kieran appeared in a very familiar study room with a burning fireplace, a walnut rocking chair, a knitted blanket and an old lady sitting on the blanket.
Other than the absence of the yellow and white striped fat cat, everything was exactly the same as how Kieran remembered the study room in 1st Black Street.
The old lady who was flipping through a book on the rocking chair put down the book in her hand.
She looked at Kieran and showed a smile.
"Not bad.
