I play a Evil God in Otome Game

Chapter 71 - 70:Morrigan’s training(4/4)

(Author’s note: I believe the quality of my book has declined recently. That’s why I really need reader comments. Please feel free to give unbiased and harsh criticism.)

As the morning rays illuminated everything, Thomas walked toward Morrigan.

"My Lady, I sensed a convoy of people heading this way. A big one too." Thomas looked at Morrigan, who was sitting around the fire and eating venison.

Morrigan frowned and lifted her head. She turned to Thomas and asked, "A convoy? How many people?"

"They’re close to 400."

"Why would that many people head south?" Rachel asked curiously, joining the conversation. Thomas sighed and then turned to Morrigan. "This convoy is not an immigrant convoy; it must be a slave trader’s convoy."

"There’s even someone you might recognize among them." Morrigan was puzzled, not understanding what Thomas meant. "How could I have any acquaintance with a slave trader?"

"I think it would be best for you to see it with your own eyes," Thomas said calmly, adjusting his glasses. Morrigan nodded and stood up.

"You come along too."

At Morrigan’s request, Rachel and Richard joined them, and after half an hour of walking, Thomas led the group to a location. Technically, it was a camp.

The camp was guarded by dozens of armored mercenaries. It seemed like a mixed organization, with people of different ethnicities and armor.

The carriages were luxurious, practically dripping with wealth. Morrigan thought this person’s wealth must be close to that of a count.

Morrigan’s eyes immediately focused on the hundreds of girls locked in cages. Her eyes widened. "T-these girls are just children?"

"And still, how could I have any connection with these people?"

While hiding behind the grass, Morrigan calmly asked. Thomas didn’t speak but pointed toward the lead carriage with his finger.

This carriage looked like it was made for royalty. The first thing that came to Morrigan’s mind was that this slave trader must be a noble, but since there was no crest, she dismissed that thought.

"Wait a bit and see who you’re acquainted with," Thomas said calmly. Morrigan sighed and waited. As Rachel and Richard quietly observed, the carriage door soon opened, and a man stepped out.

"Who is that man?" Rachel asked curiously. The man who emerged from the carriage was bald. Despite the scars on his face, he wore elegant clothing.

This man was none other than Gale. Recently wealthy and with an expanding gang, Gale had now gained more power by working with Thornfield.

Morrigan blinked, not recognizing the man. But when a female figure appeared behind Gale, Morrigan’s eyes narrowed in fury.

"My King, is this good?" Riko asked calmly. She had grown taller since the first time she met Morrigan. Her face had matured, and there was a smug expression on it that infuriated Morrigan.

"Does she really call that man ’my king’?" Rachel asked with a raised brow. Morrigan shook her head. "I don’t know who or what this man is, but the only thing I do know is that he’s disgusting."

"Do you know that girl?" Richard looked at Morrigan and asked calmly. Morrigan nodded, her eyes never leaving Riko. "Three of she friends tried to steal my bracelet, but because they were good kids, I gave it to them willingly."

"That bracelet must have been expensive," Rachel remarked calmly. "They could have lived comfortably for the rest of their lives with that bracelet’s worth. So why is this girl here?"

Morrigan lowered her head in hesitation, deep in thought. Dark, guilt-ridden thoughts filled her mind.

Luckily, Thomas answered the question. "Looking at this man’s face, he doesn’t seem like someone trustworthy..."

Then, turning to Morrigan, Thomas continued. "It looks like this girl turned in her friends when she couldn’t sell the bracelet."

"Look at those girls," Thomas pointed out. The cages were filled with young elf and human girls. It was enough to even anger Rachel, as the girls all seemed like they had been brutally beaten and were frozen in a state of numbness.

"This man isn’t just a slave trader," Richard quickly realized the truth. "This man must be a brothel owner. Most of the girls have bite marks on their legs and necks."

Morrigan held her breath, clenching her fists. Her eyes gleamed with hatred. At the same time, she blamed herself. If she hadn’t given the bracelet, none of this would have happened.

"There are many children here, ranging from 17 to 8 years old," Rachel muttered grimly, her eyes turning to Morrigan. "We need to kill these bastards! This is unforgivable!"

Morrigan nodded in agreement. As she looked at the expressions on the faces of the girls in the cages, a heavy sense of guilt and murderous intent spread through her heart.

How could a single bracelet have ruined so many lives? Morrigan was either incredibly unlucky or, as others said, her fate was entwined with evil…

Biting her lip, Morrigan turned to Thomas. "I want to kill Riko and that bald man myself."

Thomas, who was quietly watching for a moment, nodded in agreement. "As you wish, Richard and I will take care of the other pests."

As Thomas and Richard disappeared in an instant, Morrigan and Rachel emerged from their hiding spot. Turning to Rachel, Morrigan said coldly, "You free the children and get away. I’ll handle the rest."

"Got it," Rachel replied calmly. Morrigan then transformed into a shadow and swiftly disappeared from Rachel’s sight. Following Gale and Riko, Morrigan soon reached a river deep in the forest without being detected.

Hearing the laughter of a man and a woman, Morrigan calmly recognized the voices and stepped forward, revealing herself. It seemed she was interrupting their intimate moment.

Riko’s clothes were partially removed, and Gale was calmly undressing her. Morrigan, no longer able to stand the sight of the pedophilic duo, ignited her mana.

"Who the hell are you?" Gale asked arrogantly, looking at Morrigan with a scrutinizing expression. His eyes wandered over her sharp features from time to time, but despite that, he maintained a smug smile.

"Do you want to join us for some fun?" Gale laughed, placing a hand on Riko’s shoulder. Morrigan turned her eyes to Riko. When Riko saw Morrigan looking at her, she flinched and looked at the ground.

"What’s wrong, Riko? You look scared." Gale frowned, looking at Riko. Riko quickly composed herself and pointed at Morrigan with her finger. "She’s the one who gave me the expensive bracelet." Experience tales at NovelBin.Côm

Hearing this, Gale first seemed surprised, then looked at Morrigan greedily, smelling money. Morrigan responded with disgust.

"Huh? So, you’re the noblewoman who gave Riko the bracelet?" Gale said smugly. Morrigan’s eyes narrowed at his words. She looked at Riko coldly, who was now avoiding her gaze. "I didn’t give it to Riko. I gave it to Fred and Ren."

"But it seems..." Morrigan sighed, her eyes filled with guilt, along with hatred and disgust for Riko. "Fred and Ren aren’t here. You betrayed them, didn’t you?"

"Even if she did, what business is that of yours, bit—" Before Gale could finish mocking her, a shadow cut through the air, severing his arm, freezing him in terror.

"Ah! Ahhhh!!!!" Gale screamed in agony as he fell to the ground, his cries echoing through the forest. Trembling in fear, Riko began to retreat.

"Is it really worth sacrificing lifelong friendships for a little more money?" Morrigan asked coldly, the cool breeze lightly brushing her hair, her sharp gaze fixed on Riko.

Riko, filled with fear, continued to back away. Her eyes shook. As she retreated step by step, Morrigan slowly advanced toward her. Trembling, Riko began to speak, tears streaming down her face as she looked at Morrigan. "Y-you can’t understand me?! Stay away!

I said stay away!"

Ignoring Riko’s senseless cries, Morrigan soon stood in front of her. She gently cupped Riko’s cheeks with both hands.

"Tell me. Do you regret betraying Ren and Fred?" Morrigan asked softly, almost like a mother asking her child a question.

"I..." Riko trembled in fear, her breath shaky. She couldn’t look into Morrigan’s eyes, only lowering her head like a pitiful child.

"You have no answer, do you?" Morrigan said coldly, her nails digging into Riko’s cheeks, causing her to whimper in pain. Ignoring the girl’s pain, Morrigan quickly turned around as she sensed an attack from behind.

Gale, with his remaining arm, tried to strike her. Morrigan effortlessly dodged, as if nothing had happened. Gale’s punch missed, and Morrigan grabbed his arm and twisted it harshly.

As Gale fell to the ground in pain, his arm broken, Morrigan watched his struggling body with cold indifference. Extending her delicate hands forward, Morrigan unleashed a ruthless attack, sending hundreds of tiny needles piercing through Gale’s body.

Gale’s eyes were impaled by the needles, which also reached his brain, leaving him lifeless on the ground.

As Gale’s body was rendered almost unrecognizable by the thousands of shadow needles, Morrigan finally calmed her rage and ceased further mutilation of his corpse.

"Riko?" Morrigan turned to Riko, speaking calmly as if she hadn’t just committed an atrocity. Riko, however, was so terrified that she tripped and fell to the ground, unable to stand anymore.

"I’m calling your name. Are you deaf?"

"No! I just—"

Riko couldn’t finish speaking as Morrigan kicked her in the face, sending her crashing hard to the ground. Whimpering in pain, Riko cried and screamed for her mother.

"Your mother won’t save you, Riko..." Morrigan’s cold gaze remained unyielding. Her Mana, which grew stronger with each passing second, had now caught the attention of everyone, including Thomas.

"In this damned place, it’s just you and me," Morrigan said with a slight murmur, her eyes narrowing mercilessly. She then landed a brutal kick to Riko’s stomach.

"Ahh..." Riko howled in pain, her eyes pleading with Morrigan. But this was something Morrigan had no interest in. She intended to make Riko’s death as cruel as possible.

"Today you will die. You will join those forgotten forever," Morrigan said, grabbing Riko by the throat. Effortlessly, she lifted Riko to her own height, as if she weighed nothing.

As Riko gasped for air, darkness emanating from Morrigan’s body invaded her through her eyes, mouth, and nostrils, causing Riko to whimper in agony.

Struggling to breathe, Riko desperately tried to strike Morrigan’s hand, but of course, her attacks were completely useless against her.

After filling Riko’s body entirely with her Dark energy, Morrigan carelessly threw her into the nearby stream.

Before Riko could even comprehend what was happening, the darkness inside her suddenly began to tear its way out of her body.

"Aggg!!!"

Riko clutched her body in pain. Suddenly, her skin disintegrated, and her organs and skeletal system were swept away by the stream.

As Riko’s blood turned the stream a deep crimson, her scattered bones and organs were carried away by the flow.
