Reborn As A Villainous Cannon Fodder

Yino turned back to watch the battle, but kept talking in a half-joking tone with completely serious words.

At first, Yuyan had been trying to figure out what yet meant.

But now that Yino had added this line, she didn't need to guess anymore. He was basically saying outright that he wanted to marry her.

Thinking about that, even her normally ice-cold face flushed slightly red.

In such a critical moment on the battlefield, with Mei and the crimson nun still fighting to the death... How could he propose at a time like this?

Meanwhile, Jinyue was getting more pissed off the more she listened.

Damn it...

How could you be so shameless!

Just a few days ago he'd been telling Jinyue he'd take her home with him too.

Back then she'd been over the moon about it.

Who knew...

He'd been holding something back!

So Yuyan was the real love and I was just a pet, huh!

"My calculations say Mei's overclocked buff should be ending soon..."

At some point, Yino chuckled meaningfully in front of everyone.

Though he was chatting with Yuyan, his eyes had never left Mei.

He was calculating how long her rampage would last.

During her ultimate ability, Mei had gone dark and lost some rationality, crazy state.

But with that Pain Flower nun's combat power showing no signs of weakening, Mei's energy drain was becoming more and more of a disadvantage.

The nun was like a mummy - naturally she wouldn't have any power decay.

But Mei was a living tree demon!

No matter how much her strength peaked, no matter how much she used the demon abyss corruption to go berserk, her flesh and blood body still had limits...

Now Mei's speed was way down from before. She'd even gone from offense to being counter-pressured.

As the violent evil energy around her faded, Mei's head that had been filled with betrayal and hatred gradually cleared up.

Right now, She was gritting her teeth and forcing her body to hold on. She suddenly realized a really annoying problem.

Namely... Why the hell was she fighting this mummy nun who'd been dead for hundreds of years?

She knew where this nun's corpse came from. Legend said that centuries ago in the Western Region, the Dark Night Church had produced an unprecedentedly powerful holy maiden. That maiden had relied on the harshest training to temper her will, believing everyone was born sinful, and that worldly suffering was a test the Pain Mother Goddess gave to people. Only by constantly enduring hardship and disaster could one repay their life's sins and earn the Mother Goddess's forgiveness...

Through this kind of ascetic practice, this holy maiden had even founded an entirely new sect within the Dark Night Church.

Later, when the demon abyss descended, countless nations across the Western Region including the Dark Night Church were all destroyed.

That woman who believed suffering was gospel ultimately couldn't survive the demon abyss corruption either, becoming one of the Condemnation Cult's mummy-like abyss-guarding protectors...

Back then, her cultivation was definitely beyond Divine Transformation stage. The current Divine Transformation level was only because her soul had dissipated, leaving just the most basic flesh and blood.

But what was really weird was...

Why was this mummy only chasing her?

In the corner of the palace were Yino, Yuyan, Liuli, Jinyue - so many people. If we're talking about invaders, obviously they should all be killed by the protector too!

"Damn it!"

"Is it just because I accidentally damaged the Mother Goddess's heart earlier?!"

Under the constant spiritual energy storm from the Pain Flower Holy Maiden, Mei finally noticed this blind spot she'd been missing after calming down.

Fuck, these bastards!

No wonder after my self-destruct, Yuyan and Liuli had both stood aside watching the show without helping!

So the statue aggro had been locked on me this whole time!!!

After going berserk, Mei had been swinging her sword around aimlessly, and got worn down by this statue through her entire peak period.

Now she felt exhausted and sore all over, really couldn't handle the Pain Flower relentless bombardment anymore!

"Damn it..."

"Yino, just wait how I will kill you!"

The more Mei thought about it, the angrier she got. While dragging her tired body to dodge the statue's pursuit, she decided to change her battle plan and drag the statue toward Yino.

She started running toward the group hiding in the palace corner watching the show.

But after all this time, Liuli and Yuyan weren't stupid either - they'd figured out the situation.

The more Mei tried to lead the battlefield toward them, the more they split up and spread out, like they'd already agreed not to help at all.

At the critical moment, Mei was really getting desperate.

She was still trying to lure the statue toward Yino.

But this time, with her stamina constantly dropping, Her blood-colored twin tails gradually lost their color, and even her movement speed couldn't keep up with her thoughts—

THUD!!!!

A dull impact sound. Mid-air, Mei failed to dodge a crucial punch and shot like a crimson meteor, crashing into the palace wall and creating a cracked crater.

Dust flew from the wall.

But before Mei could regain consciousness, she instinctively sensed another wave of terrifying, deadly killing intent approaching.

She tried to struggle up and dodge, but her overdrawn body from just ending the rampage state was limp and powerless, completely unresponsive.

"F#ck —!"

At the critical moment, the crimson nun's shadow pierced through the dust toward her. The white-dressed girl pinned against the wall couldn't help but grit her teeth and widen her eyes.

But just as Mei braced herself to take the hit, a hand reached out from the side and yanked her out of the dust—

BOOOOOM!!!!

The crimson nun crashed into the wall. Besides the flying building debris, the entire crimson palace shook violently.

This time, when Mei came to her senses after barely surviving, she found herself in some young man's arms.

She tried to struggle but was too weak to resist.

She looked up and met the young man's playfully cold smile:

"Miss Mei, do you choose to obediently call me master and open your inner realm to accept my demonic mark..."

"Or..."

"Do you choose to die with dignity, and let me throw you back to fight that nun to the death?"
