A Villain's Way of Taming Heroines

Chapter 96  Fate · Future - Two (III)

Seraphina narrowly escaped death in the severe cold wave. No one knew how she survived the devastation and death brought by nature. However, even after surviving this disaster, she lost her way, not knowing where she was, unable to find her way home. Thus, she wandered aimlessly and numbly, but soon encountered a group of people who called themselves the New World, a group of radicals and madmen who resonated with Seraphina at the time. Naturally, Seraphina joined them, doing what she wanted to do most, gradually freeing herself from the shadows of the past. Although it was a brief period, it was indeed a happy time, one of the few times in Seraphina's tormented life that was filled with pure joy from beginning to end. Not long after, due to her background, the New World gave her a very important task. The reason why the Red Frost territory was contested by the two grand dukes was because this land would give birth to an etheric creature called the [Blazing Ice Viper] in a cycle of one to three years. Although this creature was only a fourth-stage creature, its various body parts could be used for many high-level spells, even forbidden spells, and various precious alchemical creations as [Universal materials]. The value of these universal materials was as precious as the existence of the Blazing Ice Viper. Its crystal core was one of the key materials for a forbidden spell called the "Great Cold Wave Vortex". Because the resources occupied by the Duke of Ironblade and the Duke of Gray Tower, the extraordinary beings under their command, and their political power in the imperial capital, were almost in a state of parity, whoever completely occupied the Red Frost territory would break this balance. Therefore, to some extent, the two reached a tacit understanding — they competed in turns through proxies, achieving a kind of merit-based competition. The reason why the Red Frost territory was so corrupt was also due to this. After all, if this territory was managed monolithically, it would basically be a declaration to the other party that they wanted to occupy this place, which would break this balance. In the vast northern territory, far from the political center of the empire, once the political balance was upset, the variables and chaos that would be caused... neither of the two grand dukes wanted to see. So... the proxies of the two grand dukes always used the most absurd and corrupt methods to "govern" this territory, to show their position to the other party, and to facilitate the next proxy to take office. The Revolutionary Army of the New World, for some purpose, wanted to compete for this Blazing Ice Viper. They sent people to find the birthplace of this etheric creature first, and took the initiative to awaken it early. Seraphina was sent as a support, rushing to the Red Frost territory at the fastest speed to prepare for any emergencies. The good news was that when she arrived at the Red Frost territory, the battle was already over. The bad news was that the place where the Blazing Ice Viper awakened, the place where the Revolutionary Army fought with it, was called the Darkwater Forest. And next to the Black Water Forest was Seraphina's hometown. The young girl stood on the scorched earth, crying bloody tears. She launched indiscriminate attacks on the Revolutionary Army like a madman, and was finally subdued and taken back to the Revolutionary Army's base. That night, the beasts howled all night. She thought she had found the right path for herself, but as she walked on this path, she saw with her own eyes how the path under her feet ruthlessly crushed her relatives, friends, and parents. That day, Seraphina Marlowe ascended to the throne of the third stage, awakened her spirit, and defeated the fourth-order manager of the base in ten seconds. She left everything behind and began her wanderings. *

Four years later, a woman with snow-white hair like wolf fur stepped into the city of Red Frost. "Really... nostalgic." She looked at the sparse crowd on the street. Four years had filled the outer city area of Red Frost City with some poor people, but there were still not many people. To restore the past glory, it would take at least several decades. But the nobles never cared about these. After all, the people in the outer city area were not humans, but resources that could be squandered when needed, just like garbage mines that could be mined at any time. She strode forward, punched the blocking guard to death, shook off the blood on her hand amidst the screams, and walked slowly towards the inner city area, towards the hell she had escaped from, with such a casual and leisurely pace. She slaughtered all the way, crushing any existence that dared to swing a knife at her like an ant. The wind from her fist could tear houses into powder. All the nobles, all the extraordinary beings, trembled, regretted, and then... died under this unparalleled absolute violence. Blood and flesh formed streams, flowing from the inner city area in all directions. In the end, she arrived at the end of this road of revenge, standing in front of the Red Frost Manor, and sighed softly: "It turns out, this place is so small." "Cantrell." The woman crossed her arms, slightly raised her chin, and said loudly: "I'll give you a chance to kill me." "Whether it's with the most advanced firearms, the most sinister curses, or the most brutal spells..." "One hour." She raised her index finger, "Come kill me." "Of course..." A cruel and bloodthirsty smile appeared on Seraphina Marlowe's face: "You can also try to run away in a pathetic and ridiculous way under my eyelids." Bang——! With a loud noise, Seraphina's upper body leaned back greatly. "…Ravenna cannon? Ha, it's really interesting that you can actually get this thing." The monster slowly straightened up, pulled out a heavy artillery bullet with a diameter of at least two centimeters from the center of her forehead covered with cracks and blood! "I'm sorry." Seraphina twisted her neck and grinned, "A year ago, I had a fight with that crazy woman. She bombarded me with six of these things at the same time. Guess what the result was?" Bang! There was another loud noise, but this time Seraphina's head only leaned back a negligible distance, and the bullet that could be considered a "bullet" didn't even need her to pick it out, it just slid down automatically. The battle-hardened wolf licked the small strand of blood left on her forehead: "She lost, and she lost miserably, so she went back to improve this weapon." "What you have in your hand should be a model that she has already phased out, or a prototype, which doesn't even have the ability to kill me once, it's too weak." She contemptuously raised her little finger towards the manor in front of her: "Continue." In the following hour, countless attacks against Seraphina were launched from inside the manor. At first, they might cause obvious damage, but as time went on, the damage they caused visibly decreased, and by the end, they could hardly cause any damage at all. "Is it over?" Seraphina took out new clothes from her storage ring with a bored face, and after tearing off her ragged clothes, she casually draped them on her body: "Fortunately, I didn't have too high expectations for this revenge. My main course has never been you, Cantrell." She put her hands in her jacket pockets, her full, slender, muscular and powerful thighs lifted high, and casually chopped down. The entire manor, like a paper toy house built by a child thrown into a shredder, was ground, squeezed, destroyed from top to bottom... with layers of debris accumulating, finally turning into ruins. Seraphina walked towards this hell she had built with her own hands, ignoring the blood mud slowly seeping out from under her feet, and gradually walked towards the ruins. There, there were two extremely embarrassed figures. "You would have some life-saving little things, wouldn't you?" She laughed heartily, not at all like a madman who had destroyed an entire manor and all the people inside. "L-Lord Seraphina, I think we can talk —" Seraphina didn't even look at the giant figure begging for mercy on his knees, she just raised her hand and exploded his head in the air. She walked straight towards another figure standing on the ruins. "Long time no see, Lady Violet, or should I call you..." The smile on Seraphina's face gradually disappeared: "Marlina, or... sister?" -- >n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
