547: Cutting The Puppet Strings

Cutting The Puppet Strings

-----0

Within an old-looking castle, an innocent-looking tea party was going on.

Many people wearing colorful clothes were eating, chatting, and drinking tea, while a beautiful girl with long blonde hair and crimson-red eyes was the star of the party, conversing the most with everyone else…

However, all these people were in fact being controlled.

Indeed, it was as clear as water as there were dozens of crimson-red blood threads coming out of their necks connecting to the girl's fingers, as she moved them around below the table, she forced these people to assume personalities they didn't have, to move and eat even if they didn't want, and to speak things they didn't even know about…

Internally, all these people were screaming in agony, as their eyes seemed to be filled with suffering, forced for years to be puppets, their spirits were slowly breaking apart, although some had already become completely dull, letting the girl do everything for them… they had become true puppets now.

"Hehe, everyone is having so much fun! Right? A lot of fun~" she said while chuckling devilishly.

"Yes, Lucia-sama!"

All the people responded at the same time, making the scene even more terrific.

Flash.

A sudden flash of black light suddenly appeared in front of Lucia, startling her, as the figure of a beautiful girl with long wine-red-colored hair with white strands, fluffy wolf ears, and tail, and four crimson-red eyes and four arms emerged in front of her, stepping over the table.

Clash!

"Eh?!"

Lucia glanced with horror at the scene, the entire cake was ruined and even the tea spilled all over the place!

And the entity in front of her was exuding an aura of terrific properties, the girl who was so immersed with her fantasies was startled, falling off her chair as the puppets suddenly lost their strings temporarily and fell over the ground due to the exhaustion of their muscles and bones after being forced to move for days without sleep.

"Unnggh…!"

"Uugaaggh…!"

"It hurts… my body hurts…"

"Help… please… help!"

The fusion glanced with a worried expression at the slaves.

"Rest for now…"

The fusion glanced at the people struggling to even breathe due to the exhaustion into their bodies, as it quickly released a wave of healing life magic over them, healing their exhaustion and wounds, while relaxing their muscles, and putting them to sleep for the moment.

"My friends! What did you do to them?!" roared Lucia.

"They're not your friends, you're using them as puppets…" sighed the fusion.

"T-That's…!"

"You know what? I am pretty tired, so I won't even talk to you, I really want to just sleep for some time, so… Die," sighed the fusion, acting rather cocky as the two split souls released a wave of pure death over the young-looking vampire, extracting her soul forcefully with all of their power!

FLASH!

"UNGGRAAAGGH…!"

Her body fell over the ground motionless, as her soul was easily sucked into their mouth and crushed with their teeth.

Crunch, crunch…

Her soul was shattered into pieces rather agonizingly, as she was absorbed…

"Phew, that was rather easy, now that we got this chore out of the way, we can finally get to- Wait, right… there is the Demon God… Err… where is it?" wondered Veronica's mind.

Ervas quickly detected it escaping the skies above the castle, where it was resting inside her divine realm.

"Above, it's escaping…" said Ervas mind.

"Alright…"

FLASH!

CLASH!

Destroying the ceiling of the castle, the fusion soared through the skies and caught up to Kuruzatan, the Demon God of Accursed Puppets, as they released a strong wave of power and opened a portal inside her divine realm, finding a large spider with many strings coming out of its butt, which is used to control dolls…

"UAGGH! GET AWAY!" it cried, sending its puppets, which were easily destroyed by the mere eyes of the fusion… alongside its entire body!

Crack… crack!

"Nnnggghhh?! J-Just who are you evennnnnnn?!" it cried, as its entire body was twisted into a mess and then blown away into pieces, which were all quickly consumed…

CLASH!

The entire divine realm dissipated, as it was now truly over…

The slaves were being rescued by the Phantom and Metallic Clones, and most of the Vampires that were found somewhat guilty were also killed and eaten, although there was also a good amount of them that seemed to not have done too many evil things.

"That should be everything for now…"

After everything was saved and eaten, they quickly teleported back to Seashore, leaving some allies in each town alongside some Phantom Clones to resolve a few things such as helping even MORE slaves, and so on… Damn, this world really had a knack for enslaving people.

The split souls didn't particularly think of themselves as "heroes" and merely did this out of pity for these people, the same way they usually pitied those of their kingdom in their previous life.

As rulers, they always strived to find a world where there could be coexistence between species, and things such as slavery got into the way of such a view. Especially corrupt and sick Vampires or aristocrats that liked to torture or violate slaves… amongst many other things.

And because they were normal people (they made themselves believe this), they decided to help as many people as they could, and now that they had so many powers to do all of this, they went into a hysterical speed run to slaughter these Vampires…

However, it wasn't as if things had ended yet, there was still a lot to do, but they planned to take it a bit "easy" after this, or so they made themselves believe, but they will most likely continue to do crazy stuff as they were way too overpowered now…

The High Pope had already informed Bestellen about what had just happened with the Battle Popes and the Shadow Eyes sent to kill them, and seemed to grow concerned and angered…

"Just how strong are they?! This will be more troublesome than I had originally thought…" he sighed.
