And the one who controlled blood no less.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the beginning their methods of dispatching her were cut in half.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As competent as they might be in their training, fighting in close quarters with a war deity was about as big of a 'no-no' as one could get.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant that they were forced to deal with her from long ranged distances, which could be time consuming depending on the experience level of the opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seras would have them out here for years with no progress made whatsoever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was if she did not crush them all underneath this giant unholy mass of blood first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Corporal, can you shoot it down?'

I don't much care for people who aren't nice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fiona smirked as if Seras wasn't literally holding her life in her hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So sorry for that, your majesty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While it may have been unwise, the face that Seras made when she heard her venomous tone was more than worth the trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or atleast that was what she thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We said that we would spare you if we ever came across one of you, but… exceptions can always be made.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seras grabbed the young woman by the throat and started to tear out her trachea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just before she could utilize her violent talents, a hand suddenly grabbed her shoulder from behind- stopping her cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if she weren't intimately familiar with it's feeling, she would still recognize the very subtle and soft vanilla scent that was carried into her nose by the breeze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She almost didn't want to turn around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mind all but fell into a panic as she slowly turned around to face the consequences of her decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hurt was clearly visible on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like Seras, she looked almost the same as when she became Nevi'im without her full range of powers at her back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her skin was jade like and glossy like white marble underneath the moonlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She still had the same long, orange hair running down her back all the way to the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her body was wrapped in the same dark black dress with flowing sleeves and a long trail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Etchings of green colored symbols adorned the cuffs of her dress and her back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though her emerald eyes were always bright and thoughtful, for now they betrayed only pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"L-Lilli..\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lillian walked past a stunned Seras and directed her attention toward the captured humans instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a wave of her hand, she made the restraints holding them evaporate as if they were all just a simple mirage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice was as gentle and quiet as death itself, and she only seemed to have one thing to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go.

Simply leave and remember this moment when it is time for our two sides to engage in a sit down. That is all I ask.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fiona and everyone in her squad only seemed to get more confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And after a long silence, the Branch Leader had but one thing to say in response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"FIRE!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A titanically large beam of pure energy suddenly struck Seras' blood moon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It not only obliterated the large mass into nothing, but it continued it's descent and would quickly reach them on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bitch!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seras summoned a projectile of blood in an instant and impaled the young woman right between the eyes; killing her instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind her, Lillian was much less emotional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lifted one arm above her head and rolled down her sleeve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her pale, slender arm mutated horrifically into a ginormous amalgamation of bright orange tentacles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She used her new extraordinary limbs to reach up and block the giant projectile before it could hit the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as it touched her skin, Lillian let out a heartwrenching scream of agony that rattled Seras to her very core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lilli!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm… fine.\" She gasped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True to her claim, her arm began to adapt to the attack against it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thick mucus was secreted from her muscles, large gem-stone like protrusions sprouted along her tentacles, and her arm itself nearly doubled in size.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, it felt no different than if she had let cool water run through her fingertips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With one minor difference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gems along her tentacle weren't just for show.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were absorbing the energy transmitted by the blast and charging up like a regular battery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the beam of energy finally ceased to fall from the sky, Lillian sent her own attack right back; with double the ferocity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless red beams shot out from the suckers on her tentacles; firing into the air, through the clouds, and well into the atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her vision picked up the sight of a giant explosion occurring beyond the planet's atmosphere, and she sighed in satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haaa…. Better.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The humans looked horrified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That cannon was one of their forces greatest weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's energy blasts were designed never to hurt humans or spirits, but it was strong enough to vaporize even a Nyasir and send them packing back to Tehom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Lillian had simply palmed the blast as if it was her husband's nuts and tossed it right back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Un-fucking-believable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well that wasn't very nice now, was it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lillian returned her limb to normal and wasted no time collecting the soul of the recently departed Fiona.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since you all were so rude, I think I'll be keeping this one. If your Director wants her resurrected, then he'll have to agree to a little sit down with us. I think that sounds fair, don't you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one was sure if the humans nodded out of fear or a sense of compliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could have easily been both.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after they were gone, Lillian and Seras still had yet to say a single word to each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seras was trying to find the right words to say that would help her apologize.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lillian was waiting to hear what she would come up with to justify her leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…H-How did you get here so fast..?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lillian scoffed. Out of everything she wanted to hear Seras say, that wasn't it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have never not been watching you, Seras. But you seem to have forgotten I have that privilege… in addition to a great many other things.\" Lillian replied pointedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seras is a very violent goddess of war. She leaves a loss of life in her wake wherever she goes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lillian as a goddess of death can observe it all without tipping off her sister's senses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now that Seras had remembered that fact, her heart was in the pit of her stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"H-How much did you see..?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It should be known that Lillian was quite a patient woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I mean you'd have to be to raise children like Straga and Mira.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, faced with Seras' continued deflections of the issue at hand, her patience quickly ran out and the look she was giving her became unkind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Are you going to slap me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm thinking about it.\" Lillian admitted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seras was becoming increasingly aware of the mountain-like circumstances she had in front of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And she didn't feel like she was really up to the challenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'…I need that old man.'\u003C\u002Fp>",1724,"2026-06-03T10:36:59.395Z","2026-06-03T10:36:54.451Z",1,"novelbin.me","870061d376370f46a4ccdc05d1f2598c2b19e82a6b2228d436fc274b2061f7e7","first-demonic-dragon-chapter-675","first-demonic-dragon-chapter-673",1284,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffirst-demonic-dragon-cover.jpg"]
