Chapter 98: Actually, the Book Is Very High-End

Roy was truly shocked.

He initially thought that Cassandra had only transformed into an ordinary undead due to his demon blood. However, when he saw Cassandra display a similar frost power as he had, he realized that things were not that simple.

Although he could sense that Cassandra’s magic power was still weak, it also had the power of darkness and frost. Isn’t this a lich?

Strange. Don’t they say that undead creatures like liches are mages, shamans, warlocks, and so on, transformed through a dark ritual? Why can my demon blood achieve this effect?

Roy’s mind buzzed with ideas, and he could not help but think of various questions. Although the legends say this, it’s impossible for the first lich of the undead world to have transformed through a ritual, right? At that time, the ritual might not have been invented yet, so how was the first lich born? Could it have been transformed by a frost demon?

It had to be said that Roy’s guess was very close to the truth. In fact, it was true. Even now, one of the essential items in the evil ritual to transform into a lich was frost demon blood!

If you traced back to the origins of the undead world, undead were undead, and there were not so many strange classifications. But with the involvement of demons, undead creatures had more branches appear. Thus, the connection between undead and demons was much closer than imagined...

However, what was fun was that although demon blood could create undead with special abilities, demons hated undead creatures!

The reason was also very simple. It was because undead did not have souls, and demons hated all beings without souls!

Now, Cassandra’s situation was very special. Usually, a lich transformed through the ritual would place their soul in their phylactery. Once the phylactery was destroyed, the lich would die completely. However, Cassandra had offered her soul to Roy, and Roy was a frost demon. As a result, Cassandra eventually became a lich whose soul was in Roy’s hands.

This kind of situation was quite rare. After all, even if a frost demon could use their demon blood to create a lich, not every lich would offer their soul to the frost demon.

Demons generally could not control these creatures that they created. This was because as long as the other party had free will, it was very difficult to truly enslave them.

After understanding these relationships, Roy was naturally surprised, but he did not show it on his face.

On the other hand, when Cassandra recalled her past and the pain she had suffered, intense hatred once again occupied her mind. Even though she knew that Roy was a demon, she was no longer afraid.

She did not have any relevant knowledge and did not know what a lich was, but she believed that she had inherited Roy’s demon bloodline, so she calmly called out to Roy, “Father!”

But this title stupefied Roy. How did he become a father?

He quickly waved his hand and said, “Just call me master!”

“Yes, Master!” Cassandra was obedient, so she immediately changed her words.

“My name is Osiris! A demon from the Abyss!” Roy said. “You drowned in the seawater, but your soul fell into the Abyss because of your obsessive hatred, and I happened to obtain it. According to the rules of the Abyss, I accepted your soul as an offering and signed a demon contract with you at the same time. Then I came to your world. Now, let’s talk about your situation. What kind of cruel experiences gave you such strong hatred?”

Hearing this question, the light in Cassandra’s hollow eye sockets seemed to become brighter. She said in a voice full of intense hatred, “Yes, Master. I... come from... Actually, I don’t know where the remote village my home is. I was just an ordinary countryside girl...

“My father was a drunkard, a gambling addict, a villain! Dirty, sloppy, vicious! Every time he drank, he only knew how to vent his anger on Mom and me. He once used a wooden stick to break my hand and used boiling water to burn Mom, but both Mom and I endured it. But I didn’t expect this situation to continue year after year. In the end, he became worse and worse. Three years ago, after losing all his money gambling again, he even planned to sell Mom to his creditors, wanting her to use her body to pay his debts. That time, Mom couldn’t take it anymore, so she resisted and cut my father with the only kitchen knife...

“My father escaped. I thought that Mom and I could finally escape this nightmare. But I didn’t expect that three days later, my father limped back and brought people from the church with him...

“Later on, I found out that after my father escaped, he saw a notice from the church about reporting and arresting witches. Because he wanted the bounty, he actually accused Mom of being a witch and brought people from the church to capture her... That day, Mom cried and screamed desperately for justice, but the people from the church didn’t give her a chance to explain at all and still took her away...

“Mom was burned alive on the cross that day, and my father... That night, he came back drunk from the tavern after spending the bounty of ten shillings that he got from framing his wife ...”

At this point, Cassandra looked up and said to Roy, “What a joke, right, Master? My mom, who gave birth to me and raised me, was only worth ten shillings...”

Roy did not speak, only quietly listening...

“After my drunk father came back, he beat me for no reason. After he got the sweet taste, he even mumbled when he fell asleep that he was planning to report me as a witch... I knew that he would definitely do this. The church would treat me as the bloodline left behind by a witch and also burn me to death!

“I was terrified, so I escaped that night!” Cassandra clenched her teeth. “Now that I think about it, I still hate myself for being timid. I should have killed him while he was sleeping...

“After I escaped, I wandered aimlessly, begging and snatching food from the wild dogs. I wanted to leave the place I hated, so in the end, I snuck into a ship!” Cassandra said. “I wanted to hide in a cabin and go with the ship to a place where no one knew me. But in the end, because I was too hungry, I was discovered by the people on the ship when I went to steal food.

“When I was discovered, they didn’t do anything to me but instead gave me something to eat. I thought I had met good people!” Cassandra said self-mockingly. “But later on, I found out that this ship was a slave ship, and there were many men and women at the bottom of that ship. They left me here to sell me off as a slave!

“When I overheard this situation, I wanted to escape, but I couldn’t escape in the vast sea. Instead, I was discovered, so they revealed their ferocious faces. After beating me badly, they tied me up and threw me into the hold to watch over me.

“In my despair, I prayed to the gods like the other slaves in the hold, hoping that someone would come and rescue us. Even if it was those people I hate from the church who killed my mother, I still prayed to the Lord in desperation... But what’s laughable is that the angel who would rescue us didn’t appear, but a group of cruel pirates came! They plundered the slave ship, and the slaves in the hold became the targets for them to vent on. I still remember their wild laughter and the screams of those women... At that time, a pirate with a scarred face wanted to force me to comply. I was unwilling to be humiliated like this, so I resisted. In the struggle, I bit off one of his ears. In the end, this pirate angrily tied me up, dug out my eyes, cut off my right breast, and finally threw me out into the sea...

“When the seawater entered my mouth, I realized that I was dying. I don’t understand what I did wrong to have such misfortune. I hate all the people who made me suffer, my father, those slave traders, and those pirates. I curse them. Since the proud gods disdained a lowly little girl like me, I swore that I would make them pay even if I had to use the power of demons!”

After Cassandra recounted her experience and vented her anger, there was a long period of silence. Only the floating island was shaking from the large sea waves, and the roar of thunder and lightning came, seemingly crying out against Cassandra’s injustice.

Roy remained silent for a long time. To be honest, even Roy was stunned by what had happened to Cassandra.

Yes, she was just a little girl. What did she do wrong to have to receive the most unfortunate treatment in the world? Roy thought of himself. What do demons represent?

Everyone said that demons were the representation of evil, the embodiment of slaughter and chaos, and the greatest evil! The enemy of God! But why was there always someone like Cassandra who was willing to fall into the Abyss of Hell and seek the help of demons?

Because God was arrogant, he always liked to test the world. When he did not accept you and did not respond to your request, it was not his problem, but because you... were not sincere!

As for demons, they were much more direct...

All of a sudden, Roy felt like he understood the meaning behind the existence of demons.

He stood up, walked in front of Cassandra, and spread open his demon’s wings. As he infused magic power into them, the strange demon symbols on his wings emitted a faint blue light. A powerful fear effect spread out, and even the undead creature, Cassandra, could sense it.

“Come with me, Cassandra!” Roy extended his hand to Cassandra and said, “The significance of the existence of we Abyss demons is that when people forget justice and fairness, we stand out to remind them and let them understand what true evil and fear are...”
