CHAPTER 10
The fight temporarily halted as everyone's attention was on the ethereal beauty.
"M... Miss Cruella!"
"It's Miss Cruella!"
"Great!"
The adventurers roared with excitement. The appearance of Cruella gives them boosts.
Even the five heroes were no exception. They were mesmerized by Cruella's stunning beauty.
"She easily slaughtered hundreds of monsters in one move and even wounded the Demon General. She's amazing!" Hero Lexus Denver uttered in awe. His lips curled up into an amused smile.
"Ah, I think I'm falling..." the other three heroes murmured subconsciously.
On the other hand, Dylan pursed his lips, trying to calm his racing heart. The sight of Cruella's stunning and mighty figure made his heart racing.
However, as he stared at her expressionless face, he felt uneasy and thought that something was amiss but he couldn't pinpoint what it was.
Meanwhile, the Demon General faces the Clone Cruella while trembling. His eyelids kept twitching as if warning him of the danger he was about to face. He could tell that an ominous aura coming from the Clone Cruella.
He tried assessing Clone Cruella's strength but all he could see was Clone Cruella's level of 500, nothing else-not even the skills. It was like the beauty in front of him was shrouded with dark mist.
"You... you are not a human! Who are you?!" Demon General Alton asked warily.
However, he didn't get any response as Clone Cruella made her attack.
They fought swiftly and fiercely in the air. Their movement was so swift one couldn't even follow their movement. All everyone could see was two fierce lights attacking each other and every time they met, there were explosions in the middle.
On the other side, the real Cruella in her wolf form was enjoying herself at the back. She keeps devouring the monsters slowly but nimbly without someone noticing.
It was like she was in a park enjoying her meal. With every monster she devoured, her power also increased.
And at the same time, Cruella controlled the movements of the Clone Cruella to her liking. She felt like she was in a cinema watching a fierce battle among the strongest.
In truth, Clone Cruella could easily kill the Demon General in one breath but the real Cruella didn't do it. She wanted some fun so she wanted to toy with the Demon General first.
"He-he! These monsters are all stupid!"
Just as Cruella was about to devour a two-headed monster, the monster froze while trembling upon recognizing Cruella. The two-headed monster once saw Cruella devouring the legendary fire dragon. He manages to escape back then because Cruella let him go.
The two-headed monster ran as fast as he could away from the monster among monsters, who could devour everything. Cruella struck fear into its soul.
The two-headed monster died from extreme shock and fear. However, at the last moment, the two-headed monster manages to warn the others, "The Great Wolf is here!"
Upon hearing the word 'Great Wolf', the monsters jolted and frantically scattered like headless chickens. The mention of the name sent chills to their bones and struck terror in their hearts.
All the monsters frantically made their escape and couldn't care less about the order of the Demon General. What's important was they could escape at that instant.
All of that happening made Cruella and everyone dumbfounded. The fleeing monster was like a frightened rabbit. Who could make them so terrified to the point they scrambled away in a flash?
"Hah! Do you think you could escape?" Cruella laughed devilishly and in a flash, the sky darkened and a purple magic net quickly wrapped the fleeing monsters.
Without even registering what had happened, the net that wrapped the monsters devoured them all in one fell swoop.
Thousands of monsters disappeared in a matter of seconds just like that.
The remaining monsters couldn't even react to the sudden happening. They were in a rage, however, upon seeing the silver-red wolf and its striking red eyes that could see through their soul, they cowered in fear and kneeled while crying for mercy.
All this happens too suddenly that the adventurers and the heroes are confused about what's going on.
The strange occurrence where ferocious monsters kneeling blew their minds.
"Where am I?"
"Who am I?"
"Am I dreaming?"
Everyone was in disbelief at the mind-boggling scene. They couldn't believe their eyes. Are they hallucinating? Was everything real?
Of course, the happenings below weren't noticed by the Demon General who was constantly exchanging attacks with the unfathomable Clone Cruella.
As the fight goes on, Demon General Alton is terror-stricken.
He felt like he was fighting a huge wave but he kept drowning.
Just when he was about to drown deeper, the waves would lift him to the surface only to drown deeper again.
It keeps repeating again and again that he feels like he is going to lose his mind.
Demon General Alton regrets attacking this town. He thought he could easily take over this town without mishap but only to fail halfway. If he just knew there was someone powerful hiding in this small town, he wouldn't attack without considering the consequences.
However, it was too late!
"Before I die, may I know who you are?" he asked bitterly. He knew he couldn't escape this catastrophe.
For the first time, he saw the Clone Cruella curl up her lips into a smile. "You are right, I'm not a human."
"I was feared by monsters. They call me, The Great Wolf."
Demon General Alton gasped and trembled with his eyes widened in shock.
He was scared by the Demon Lord Azazel, however, the Great Wolf is what struck fear in his soul the most.
He once saw the gigantic Great Wolf in the Dark Forest two years ago. The aura of the Great Wolf possessed that time is like that of a divine being who could destroy the world if it wanted to.
The Demon Lord's strength he served was nothing even worth mentioning in front of the Great Wolf.
"You..."
Before Demon General Alton could react, the Clone Cruella was already in front of him and swiftly clawed his chest with her delicate hand.
Blood trickled down his mouth and when he looked down, he saw a bloody hole in his chest. When he looked back at Clone Cruella, he saw her holding a beating heart.
It was his heart!
What a devil!
Before he knew it, his body plunged swiftly and dropped to the ground forming a huge crater. Since his heart was gone, he couldn't regenerate, and the light in his eyes disappeared.
He didn't even see the bizarre scene where the ferocious monsters groveling in the ground begging for mercy.
Just like that, the battlefield swept with silence, and everyone was still dumbfounded at the sudden turn of events.
The wind blew and everyone trembled as chills crept through their bones at the sight of Clone Cruella suspended in the air while holding the heart of a demon.
The scene was even weird with the ferocious monsters cowering and groveling on the ground begging for mercy.
The adventurers and heroes couldn't see who these monsters begging to, except the guild master, Ronald West. He was on top of a tower and saw the entire happening.
These ferocious monsters were groveling at Cruella in her true form! The Great Devourer Wolf!
Even far away, Ronald West couldn't help but tremble in fear. He was grateful to Evangeline for taming this monster among monsters.
On the other hand, Cruella frowns upon looking at the groveling monsters. There were only over a few thousands9 left and she didn't want to devour them all. She had enough fill for at least six months.
What was left were weaker monsters and only a few were considered powerful.
Suddenly, a bulb lights up in her head, and grins menacingly like she is up to no good sending chills down the monster's soul.
"Okay, I will let you off but you shall follow me from now on. If you defy me, I will devour you without mercy," she said using the language of the monster.
As if granted an amnesty, the monsters hurriedly roared in unison.
"Master, we will follow you and heed your command! Please accept us, your slaves!"
"Great!"
Cruella then opens the door of the subspace she created and orders the monsters to enter.
Unbeknownst to the monsters, a hellish journey awaits them all. Their fates were sealed the moment they stepped inside Cruella's subspace.
Before everyone noticed her, she also stepped inside her subspace for the first time.
Just like that, the monsters disappeared and peace returned, and the adventurers cheered at their victory despite feeling creep out by Clone Cruella.
Evangeline was about to call Cruella when she suddenly disappeared. She blinked her eyes in disbelief.
"Where does she go?"
She pouts her lips and shrugs her shoulders thinking that Cruella has something else to do.
And then, everyone collects their spoils of war happily. They quite slaughtered many monsters earlier.
Since Cruella is the one who defeated the Demon General, she would receive a great reward. So Evangeline jumped down to the crater and inspected the Demon General's body.
Her eyes twinkled at the sight of a storage ring. She quickly took out the storage ring, bit her finger, and dropped blood on the ring.
She wore the storage ring and checked the contents. Her smile widened when she discovered that there were a lot of treasures inside. It almost disappeared just now if she's a second late.
"With these treasures, I could buy abundant sweets for Ella! He-he! Ella is so lucky!"
"Hm? What's this?"
Evangeline took out a small dark crest with an ominous aura.
Suddenly, her eyes turned blank and her hands moved on their own, opened the crest, and a dark shadow of a monster wrapped around Evangeline.
"I'm finally free! Ha-ha!" a deep, sultry voice cackled.
"This body is not bad! From now on, this body is mine! Ha-ha!"
In a flash, the dark shadow entered Evangeline's mouth and her bright blue eyes turned dark red without emotion.
Dark tattoos like snake vines appeared on Evangeline's body and face. Her blonde hair also turned black and long which swayed by the wind.
Then her body flew upward. Her level continued rising at a frightening speed. Her strength reached by leaps and bounds almost comparable to Cruella two years ago.
A powerful breath of aura swept past the world and an ominous foreboding feeling crept into everyone's heart. They also felt this way when the Great Wolf appeared in Dark Forest two years ago.
Suspended in the air, Evangeline looked up with eyes squinted and said, "This is great! Just you wait, filthy gods! I will now take my bloody revenge! You imprisoned me, the Great Destroyer, this time, I will kill you all!" she bellowed and laughed menacingly.
