Sonia had practiced in the mushroom garden for many years and was well-versed in the terrain.
Following the clues provided by Caius, she headed straight for the mushroom hut where Alan lived.
However, on the way, she ran into a group of green-robed sorcerers!
The blue-haired girl leading them was none other than Olivia, the prodigy of the Russell family!
Upon seeing these natural sorcerers, Sonia quickly hid in the roadside mushroom forest.
She planned to wait for them to leave before continuing on her way.
Unexpectedly, the two demonic wolves accompanying her seemed allergic to the fungal spores in the air and sneezed uncontrollably.
"Who's there?!"
The alert Olivia stopped dead in her tracks.
The three natural sorcerers accompanying her also became alert, ready to cast spells and engage in battle.
Seeing they could no longer hide, Sonia gestured, commanding the two troublesome demon wolves to burst out of the bushes and distract Olivia and her group.
Sonia hid in the dark woods, watching the battle.
She seemed to be debating whether to personally intervene and assist the two demon wolves in dealing with Olivia and the others.
Or should she simply abandon the two demon wolves and carry out the assassination of Allen alone?
Caius, secretly following them, was even more anxious than Sonia.
He glared at the two demon wolves fiercely, his eyes practically blazing with fire.
"Two idiots!"
"You haven't even gotten far, and you've already alerted the defenders. How foolish!"
"You two deserve to be sucked dry by the wolf siblings!"
Even worse... Caius couldn't intervene to help Sonia deal with the unexpected enemy.
Otherwise, how could he explain to Sonia that he was following her? Caius had already come to terms with reality.
After this incident, Sonia still wanted to assassinate Allen alone—how foolish!
On her own, her strength was at most evenly matched with Allen's.
That Allen kid always hung out with the Griffin siblings.
Julie and Feilin, the siblings, had recently made rapid progress in their cultivation!
It was rumored that both siblings had undergone a bloodline mutation, breaking through bottlenecks and advancing to the early fourth stage.
Even with two wolves following them, Sonia wasn't sure she could handle Allen and the Griffin siblings.
Looking at her expression now, did she still want to go it alone?
"Arrogant woman, so foolish she didn't know her own fate!"
Rather than let this foolish woman die in vain, it would be better...
The fly demon's pale green compound eyes flickered.
Maintaining his invisibility, Caius quietly flew towards Sonia. Thirty meters behind her, he hovered in the air.
He whispered the spell symbolizing "sleep" and scattered a handful of fine sand mixed with rose petals in his hands.
"Hácala!"
The third-level spell "Deep Sleep" took effect, just as Caius had hoped.
Sonia was caught off guard.
He yawned twice, leaned back against the thick, giant mushroom stem, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.
"Deep Sleep" lived up to its name.
It plunged the affected creature into the deepest slumber.
It required at least an hour of sound sleep before waking naturally.
Caius rubbed his hands, a lewd smile on his face.
Violating women in deep sleep was his specialty!
He had long coveted Sonia's beauty.
It's a shame this girl didn't appreciate his kindness and repeatedly rejected his advances.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have resorted to such tactics.
After such a long and meticulous plan, he finally succeeded.
The sleeping beauty was right before his eyes.
Caius's heart was ablaze with passion!
Out of caution, even if he were to violate a sleeping woman, Caius wouldn't remove his invisibility.
As he flew towards Sonia, he began to unbuckle his belt.
However, at the crucial moment when he was about to get what he wanted...
A sudden series of hurried footsteps echoed from behind him!
Caius quickly pulled up his pants, turned sharply, and glared fiercely at the intruder who had ruined his mood!
A tall, muscular young man in a green robe, his face covered with a black scarf, approached.
He seemed to be a naturalist from South Island College, a descendant of the Russell family.
Caius recognized all the enemy's fourth-tier sorcerers.
Among them, the only fourth-tier nature sorcerer wearing a green robe was Olivia.
This green-robed youth was clearly not a prominent figure.
He was likely just a minor foe, easily dispatched.
Just as Caius was about to attack, he heard the green-robed youth chanting an incantation, seemingly casting a spell.
Then, the green-robed youth's tall, muscular form quietly transformed into a hazy cloud of vapor, drifting through the forest.
Huh?!
Caius, watching from stealth, his eyes suddenly sharpened!
Vaporization!
Caius had already recognized the spell the green-robed youth was casting.
Since the opponent had awakened third-level magic, his cultivation level was at least in the early third tier, and perhaps even in the late third tier.
With such skill, he could no longer be called a small fry.
Caius suppressed the urge to attack.
His vaporous form lacked vital points and was immune to non-enchanted physical attacks.
Mental magic, including "Deep Sleep," could not hypnotize a cloud of vapor.
Caius possessed few destructive spells, and they were all relatively low-level.
If he attacked hastily and failed to kill with one strike, the green-robed youth would scream, waking Sonia and even attracting Olivia and the others...
That would be a huge problem!
At this critical moment, one must remain patient!
Caius reminded himself.
Wait a little longer!
Think again!
Watch again!
There will surely be a better opportunity to strike.
The green-robed youth disintegrated into a cloud of vapor.
He floated up to Sonia, watching stealthily.
Soon, he discovered the enemy beauty, deep in a slumber.
Unless he stabbed her with a knife or banged a gong in her ear, she wouldn't wake.
The green-robed youth seemed to realize he'd gotten a great bargain.
His gaseous form trembled with excitement!
He dissolved his gaseous form, returning to flesh and blood.
He tiptoed closer to the unconscious Sonia.
He reached out and sniffed her breath.
He even plucked up the courage to touch her face!
Confirming Sonia was sound asleep, the green-robed youth felt relieved.
He withdrew his hand, brought it close to her, and sniffed, his eyes lustful.
"Bah! So he's a shameless pervert taking advantage of someone's misfortune!"
Observing secretly, Caius couldn't help but feel indignant.
The green-robed youth's next actions were even more appalling!
As if afraid Sonia would suddenly wake up and resist his advances, he pulled a medicine bottle from his bosom and poured out a pink pill.
While Sonia was unconscious, he fed her the drug.
Anyone with a brain could guess it was a drug!
Carrying drugs with him, and doing his evil deeds so skillfully...
This brat is also an expert at stealing women!
Watching this, Caius couldn't help but feel anxious and furious!
He had put so much effort into hypnotizing Sonia.
He was so close to getting what he wanted, how could this green-robed brat take advantage of him?! "You filthy bastard! How dare you... How dare you..."
Seeing the green-robed youth's hand reaching for Sonia's chest, Caius screamed inwardly!
"Stop, you beast! I haven't even touched you yet, how can I let you do that?!"
Caius could no longer bear it, relying on his invisibility to quickly fly over.
At that moment, the green-robed youth suddenly turned around, his eyes full of alertness.
Caius's heart trembled, and he instantly dodged behind the thick stem of the mushroom, holding his breath.
The green-robed youth stared at the spot where he had just been.
The alertness in his eyes gradually gave way to confusion, and he muttered to himself:
"Strange! There was no wind, so where did that gust of air come from?"
Hearing this, Caius understood.
He had been too impatient!
Flying at high speed, creating a turbulent current, alerted the opponent.
The green-robed youth hesitated, then suddenly glared and shouted angrily:
"Come out! I saw you!"
Kaius was secretly surprised: This kid can see through advanced invisibility?!
"Get out here in three seconds!"
The green-robed youth threatened.
"One!"
"Two!"
...
Kaius's face was gloomy, and he watched the situation unfold.
The green-robed youth couldn't count to the third number for a long time, then became awkward.
Kaius's lips curled up as he gradually understood everything.
The kid's sudden jumpiness almost frightened him!
"I really saw you! Come out now!"
"Won't it be so embarrassing if I expose you?"
The green-robed youth muttered to himself.
He was trying too hard to save face, looking like a clown.
"Hmph! If you don't come out, forget it!"
The green-robed youth finally gave up his suspicions and reached out again for the comatose Sonia.
Caius landed quietly and tiptoed over.
The two were still ten meters apart.
The green-robed youth turned again and growled into the air.
"Who's there? Get out!"
Caius stopped, his face expressionless.
The green-robed youth yelled twice, but found no movement.
Feeling bored, he turned back and began to unbutton Sonia's shirt.
Caius sneered and slowly approached.
Until they were within arm's length.
The green-robed youth turned back a third time.
"I see you!"
A hint of impatience flashed in Caius's eyes.
How many more times will this insane fellow be tormented?
Ignoring his sudden jolts of surprise, he silently cast his spell.
Swish!
A piercingly cold pale light suddenly emanated from the green-robed youth's hand!
Caught off guard, Caius was instantly frozen by the "Ice Soul Freezing Wave"!
A stunned expression froze on his face, becoming part of the ice sculpture.
"I told you, I saw you."
The green-robed youth slowly stood up, a sneer in his eyes.
His clairvoyance had long since revealed the fly demon's invisibility.
"I've warned you several times, why didn't you believe it?"
"If you're hell-bent on seeking your own death, there's nothing I can do."
He raised his right hand and clenched his fist.
A surge of magical power, accompanied by a fist the size of a casserole pot, smashed directly into Caius's chest.
Bone shattering! BOOM! !
It was like a powder keg had been ignited.
A roaring roar erupted in the forest!
Frozen all over, Caius was unable to dodge.
He watched helplessly as the fist grew larger in his vision...
Finally, a punch struck his chest, shattering him instantly!
However...
The senior elder of the Human Demon Cult, the second-in-command of the Amazing Circus, was not so easily defeated!
Flesh and blood flew through the air, gleaming with magical light.
In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a swarm of flies.
The flies buzzed in the air, reuniting the fly demon's body!
However, a small portion of the flesh had been vaporized by the violent force of the punch, unable to be retrieved.
So, the reborn Caius was incomplete!
He was missing an arm and a leg. His naked body, punctured with bloody holes, was exposed.
In this state, he could no longer fight.
Racing every second, he chanted a spell, attempting to open a "anywhere portal" and escape!
However, just as the spell was about to complete...
A green beam suddenly shot out from behind him.
Dimensional Anchor!
Caias's attempt to teleport was interrupted on the spot.
The intense headache caused by the backlash of the spell caused his overwhelmed body to completely lose control, plummeting from mid-air.
"Damn it..."
Caias struggled to turn around and look at his attacker.
The one who had just released the "Dimensional Anchor" was Sonia!
Had she just awakened, or had she never been hypnotized in the first place?!
Caias had no idea.
But one thing he was certain of: Sonia was definitely hiding her strength!
Otherwise, with her early fourth-stage cultivation and Chain Demon bloodline, how could she have seen through his advanced invisibility?
Caius, who had been meticulously plotting against Sonia, suddenly had a terrifying thought...
"Could it be that Sonia knew I was plotting against her all along?"
"She's been acting, pretending to be defenseless, but in fact, she's seen through my intentions and is playing along?"
Caius didn't dare dwell on the question any further.
Using his last bit of strength, he chanted the incantation symbolizing the virus!
"Lóké!"
Puff!
In his final moments, Caius successfully activated the fourth level of "Parasite."
His flesh and blood transformed into a cloud of foul air filled with disease, rapidly drifting towards Sonia, attempting to penetrate her body through her nostrils!
Sonia, unfazed, calmly rolled up her sleeves and offered her white arm to the green-robed youth.
"Bear with it!"
The green-robed youth produced a syringe and pierced her arm.
The blood stored in the syringe was capable of disinfecting all pathogens up to level 7.
Sonia's nostrils itched, and she sneezed.
Instantly, the aerosolized pathogens were expelled from her body.
At this point, the bactericidal factors in the blood had already invaded Caius's body, causing his blood vessels to collapse!
A blood-colored vapor condensed in the forest, twitching and shaking violently.
"Is he possessed?"
Sonia asked softly.
The green-robed youth nodded gently, another syringe still in his hand.
"If this doesn't turn him on, give him another injection of the inducer. Ultimately, we'll squeeze out all his worth."
Bang!
The bacterial aura that Caius had embodied suddenly exploded and slowly dissipated.
Only an irregular blood-red crystal remained on the ground.
This was Caius's final remains.
The green-robed youth stepped forward to pick up the blood-red crystal.
He sniffed it, then swallowed it in one gulp!
Drip—
"Consume special ingredient: Purgatory Essence (Fly Demon)!"
"Potential +2!"
"Agility +1!"
Current Attributes: Constitution 43, Agility 31, Spirit 51
Potential Reserve: 5 points
...
Closing the system page, Alan removed his mask and his green robe.
Underneath, he wore a white robe. He didn't use "Disguise" to disguise his appearance.
High-level demon sorcerers like Caius have awakened "True Vision," allowing them to see through low-level illusions and recognize his true form at a glance.
By comparison, physical disguises like a mask are more reliable.
At this moment, reinforcements arrived from both sides.
From Sonia's side, two giant dragons flew over, one white and one red!
Red Dragon Reed!
White Dragon Ace!
The two titans of the North Island Sorcerer Group soared proudly over the mushroom garden!
On Allen's side, Pamela and the Griffin siblings hurried to support them.
Sonia stood downwind.
She wrinkled her nose, her gaze fixed on Pamela.
She had a keen nose.
She detected a familiar scent on Pamela.
That's right!
That's Allen's unique scent!
Sonia knew very well that a woman,
To what degree must a man be intimate for his partner to be imbued with their scent, and it lingers for a long time!
It was obvious that the noble young lady across from him had a special relationship with Allen!
Realizing this, Sonia couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
With a swish!
A long whip appeared in her right hand.
She slowly raised her left hand, and a dark hellfire rose from its palm!
Sonia's beautiful eyes shone with murderous intent.
Everyone said Pamela was formidable.
She was recognized as the foremost expert of the younger generation in the South Island Federation.
Sonia was deeply dissatisfied and, tonight, she wanted to personally test her strength!
However, before she could strike, she received a telepathic message from Allen.
"Don't be so naive! Pamela is dangerous, you can't afford to offend her!"
"Hmph! Brother Allen, explain to me clearly, just how dangerous is that blonde chick?"
Sonia had also awakened the "telepathy" Allen had instilled in her, allowing them to communicate mentally even though they were a hundred meters apart.
"I can't even say I can definitely eat Pamela, what do you think?"
Alan replied angrily.
"Really? But you clearly already ate her!"
Sonia replied sourly, emphasizing the word "eat."
There was no room for misunderstanding in telepathic communication.
Alan, of course, understood her implication.
He sighed and quietly complained to Sonia.
"It's not as simple as you think. To be honest... Pamela actually took advantage of me."
"Huh?!" Sonia was shocked. "How dare she... take advantage of you for free? I have to keep the bill, so why would she do it for free?!"
"She did pay... Given a choice, I'd rather not have her dirty money than have anything to do with her!"
Alan hesitated, feeling too embarrassed to reveal the truth.
It was no wonder Sonia had imagined such a ridiculous scene.
After raping Alan, Pamela comfortably smoked a cigarette and threatened:
I'm the daughter of a noble family, rich as a benefactor. What's wrong with me toying with a country boy like you? Don't feel wronged. This is your blessing...
However, Sonia could never have imagined that the truth was even more outrageous than her imagination! Despite her anger, Sonia accepted Allen's warning and decided not to provoke Pamela for the time being.
Her hunting gaze shifted to Julie and Felin, the siblings following behind Pamela.
Sonia had clashed with the siblings back on Griffin Island and knew they were both good friends of Allen.
However, she was surprised...
Julie actually had Allen's scent on her!
It was obvious that Allen wasn't just having an affair with Pamela, but also with this Julie!
"Stinky brother! He attracts women everywhere he goes. I hope he's not being taken advantage of by that big woman!"
Sonia gritted her teeth and ordered the two wolves to entangle Julie and Felin, sparing them any harm.
She had chosen her opponent: Olivia.
Thank the ancestral spirits!
Finally, Olivia was free of Allen's scent!
So, she could kill him... right?
However, no.
She was about to hurl the Hellfire in her hand...
The beautiful girl with blue hair and blue eyes across from her suddenly looked surprised!
"Huh?! Such a familiar black flame..."
Olivia glanced around, making sure no one was paying attention.
She quickly ran towards Sonia.
As she ran, she lowered her voice to ask.
"Big sister over there, have we met before?"
Sonia hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping herself.
Of course she had seen Olivia before, back in the mushroom garden.
At that time, Olivia's uncle, Hubert, had gone mad and chasedona, ignoring all his relatives. Sonia had rescued Olivia.
After all these years, I hadn't expected Olivia to remember this and recognize her.
Olivia took a step forward, her bright blue eyes gazing up and down at Sonia.
Surprise and gratitude flickered in her eyes.
"Big sister! It had to be you!"
"Although I didn't see your face clearly then, I remember your voice and the black flame in your hand!"
"You're... my savior, aren't you?"
Sonia sighed and extinguished the hellfire in her hand.
She activated her telepathy, communicating with Olivia.
To prevent their conversation from being overheard and causing trouble.
"It's old news, why bring it up again?"
"Now you and I are on opposing sides, what else is there to say..."
Olivia was stunned, her pretty face darkening.
"Big sister..."
"My name is Sonia."
"Sister Sonia, although we have different sides, my instinct tells me you're not a bad person!"
"Silly girl, on the battlefield, there's no such thing as right or wrong?" Sonia smiled bitterly. "It's just that everyone pursues their own interests and serves their respective masters."
"That's true, but you're my benefactor after all!"
"Sister Sonia, I can't bear to fight you. Please leave!"
Olivia said earnestly.
Sonia pondered for a moment, then slowly said:
"If I retreat without a fight, how will I explain this to my superiors?"
"You, too, would be hard to explain."
"So...?" Olivia was no fool and immediately realized her intention. "Sister Sonia, why don't we just have a fake fight and get the job done?"
"That's great." Sonia smiled slightly. "Let's exchange mystical seals and keep in touch."
"Yes, yes! Sister Sonia, if you need my help with anything, as long as it doesn't involve major issues, I will do my best to repay you!"
Olivia made a solemn promise.
"Haha! Little sister, you're so adorable."
Sonia couldn't help but wonder.
A girl like Olivia, with a distinguished family background, beautiful and lovely, and pure and kind, is hard to find.
Isn't she much better than Julie or even Pamela? Why didn't Allen ever think of flirting with Olivia?
Could it be that this stinky brother is so used to playing with hot chicks, seductresses, and witches that innocent, decent girls don't pique his interest or satisfy his appetite?
