Chapter 1247 Baker

After leaving Aiwass, Lily stalked in the shadows perfectly and silently.

She wasn't like Chloe back then, who exaggeratedly transformed into a moving shadow and slipped into the shadows... After completely losing the protection of her body, although her concealment ability would be greatly enhanced, she would also become more vulnerable.

Lily saw with her own eyes that Aiwass, who was sitting in a wheelchair, used only an ordinary pistol to severely injure Chloe, who had reached the peak of the fourth energy level at that time.

——Then she will naturally not make the same mistake again.

If a wizard of the same fifth energy level observes her with the Vision of Truth, he can see a faint, translucent human outline.

Lily appeared and disappeared silently like a ghost, like a flash without cooling down.

She didn't walk, but instead constantly leaped back and forth in the shadows. After leaving Aiwass, Lily had used this method to protect herself. This skill even allowed her to quickly cross certain barriers, traveling to various locations in record time.

Compared with the movement methods of Shadow Demon and Chloe, this method will undoubtedly be more strenuous, and will leave obvious fluctuations in the power of the Tao, and may even be directly sensed by extraordinary people who have adapted to the Tao... but it doesn't really matter.

Following the traces left by Haina, Lily chased after her all the way.

If Selune hadn't separated from Lily's body, as a werewolf, she would only need to smell Haena's scent to accurately find her location. But now it's not that simple...

Fortunately, Haina had communicated with Lily in advance before leaving, and she would secretly leave marks at certain distances, making it easier for Lily to track her.

This certainly didn't sound good: a fifth-level transcendent being so cowardly—even before the fight even started, already thinking about what to do if she lost—seemingly lacking confidence. But now that Haina had become an adaptor, this caution was natural.

Compared to the authoritarian path, she seems to be more in line with the style of the adaptive path.

Perhaps because part of her soul belongs to Lancelot, Haena herself is not that loyal. Although she is very adaptable in the path of authority, there is always something subtly wrong.

Perhaps it was because Haina had only been a powerful being for so short a time, and the circle around her was so high-ranking, that Haina didn't actually have a clear understanding of how powerful she was...

But this is a good thing, Lily thought.

——Like now.

"...Knight...Avalon..."

"Fake……"

"I can't... I can't forget..."

"It's just..."

Lily heard a disembodied whisper, like a vague conversation heard underwater.

In her shadowy vision, everything was dark. It was as if the world had been processed through a color-reversing filter, with shadows turning white and light appearing black. Everyone's skin was black, with only the color of their pupils varying—not a pure inverse color, but the color of each person's path.

Depending on the strength of each person's soul and the depth of their path, their pupils would burn with flames of varying intensity. Visible fluctuations of their path would also emanate from their cracked skin... such as on the backs of their hands, cheeks, or collarbones.

Lily vaguely heard Haena's voice and saw her silhouette.

She was cursing something fiercely and seemed to have had a conflict with someone.

Her eyes lit up and she entered that space.

——Lily hasn't killed anyone for a long time.

Ever since she had sex for the first time in her life... she couldn't forget the soft and moist touch. Her happiest moment was actually after Aiwass split himself apart, when she followed the "Honey Badger" to assassinate those who opposed her in the name of the Pope's followers.

But when she was in front of Aiwass and Isabel, she always tried to appear as gentle, polite and intelligent as possible.

This is how he can appear professional enough and worthy of his master. It is also how he can avoid looking like a madman or a monster.

This is also the main reason why she hates Selene.

Selene's existence was like an omnipresent reminder, constantly reminding her that her insane and despicable nature as a murderer and a child of beasts could not be hidden anywhere.

She constantly suppressed the madly growing desire for love in her heart, but outwardly remained normal. She looked like a perfect and elegant maid, taciturn, capable and reliable... But in reality, only Lily herself knew how much desire was active in her heart and what kind of crazy bloodthirsty impulses she had.

If she hadn't been concerned about Aiwas's opinion, she would even want to try the taste of human flesh.

This twisted desire that lingered in her heart and constantly challenged her moral values ​​made Lily always feel extremely inferior.

From another perspective, after Selene split from her heart, Lily's desires and impulses became much calmer. She almost became like a normal person, able to enjoy a leisurely afternoon tea without thinking about anything.

——But when she saw that "other self" who was willful and did not hide his crazy desires at all, he easily gained the recognition, acceptance and tolerance of Aiwass, Isabel and others... This made Lily feel jealous again.

Jealousy of oneself.

Just because Selene is the incarnation of the "Path of Pure Love", can her madness be forgiven and tolerated?

Then what about my previous patience and self-restraint?

Is the reason why she is forgiven and tolerated by others related to herself?

Could it be that it is because of people's good impression and recognition of her that she can be so willful?

——That feeling is like a good child who is strict with himself, works hard and hopes to get the attention and recognition of his parents, seeing a bad child who throws a tantrum and makes unreasonable demands but is forgiven by his parents.

It's even so ridiculous that it makes you want to laugh.

And now, Lily, who was liberated personally by Aiwass's order... was like a good child who was allowed to go to the Internet cafe with the permission of his parents.

An unbearable excitement, mixed with a sense of recognition and freedom, surged into my heart.

Hurry up.

Lily prayed in her heart, waiting. She opened her eyes wide and tilted her head back, her gray pupils gradually seeping out a little bit of scarlet, like blood.

Let me help you, let me save you.

"Let me..."

Lily murmured softly, her words were like a dream talk, without a beginning or an end.

And at this moment.

Haina was holding a silver-white sword and confronting a man.

There were corpses lying on the ground at their feet.

Their blood was flowing on the ground, but there was no trace of blood on Haina's body or face.

She had already unsheathed the sword in her hand. At this moment, crackling lightning flowed on the blade of Haina's sword, and the dense silver lightning had transformed the long sword in her hand into a lightsaber.

A strange, burnt smell lingered in the air, and silver-white lightning streamed through Haina's pupils and hair.

She was furious—literally furious.

In front of her was a middle-aged man who looked ordinary. Or rather, he was the only living person left.

He is not like Aziz, who looks like a shrewd villain at first glance.

This man looked like a middle-aged office worker with a decadent temperament, mixed with an unconcealable sense of perversion.

He had a full beard and tan skin. His eyes were narrowed, almost to a slit. Combined with his slightly rounded face, he looked honest and reliable. He seemed like a hardworking, warm-hearted, and kind person.

His clothes were even more ridiculous—he wore a Santa Claus-like hat with a pompom on it. His clothes also resembled thick, fuzzy pajamas, a rather odd outfit for the sweltering summer heat. Even stranger, everything from his hat to his pajamas was pink. If it weren't for the fact that they fit so perfectly, they'd look like cartoon pajamas stolen from a little girl.

However, facing the aggressive Haina, the "cake maker"'s reaction was unusually innocent.
