Otome Shuraba: The villain heartthrob refuses to flirt

"...Prepare, w-what?"

I don't know whether it was because her consciousness had not yet completely returned, or because the children in the sky were too shocked, but Eileen even stuttered a bit when she spoke.

"Hahahaha!" The emperor was very satisfied with this and laughed out loud,

"Did such a small scene scare the most powerful magician in the entire Akhter continent into stammering?

"No meat, no food, no blood, no drink. Since I want to absorb your magic power, how can I not be nourished by blood?"

Erin was stunned for a moment, then roared loudly, "Are you crazy?! They are all children! They are the blood of the royal family!"

"Bah!" the emperor swore angrily,

"These bastards have committed a capital crime by possessing the blood of the royal family. Now that they can offer sacrifices in this way, they can atone for their sins."

After saying that, the emperor moved his fingers, and another child fell from the sky.

If one person dies, how can another person die?

Without thinking, Erin ducked and rushed towards the child.

But what she didn't expect was that her legs would be entangled in the black mist coming out of the magic circle at some point.

The loss of balance lasted only a moment, and Erin fell heavily to the ground.

"Boom!"

A deep muffled sound.

A little girl, about four or five years old, fell in front of Irene.

Blood spurted from his mouth and splashed on Irene's face.

The little girl stared, opened her mouth at Irene, murmured a few words with difficulty, and then lost her breath.

The originally golden magic circle was stained red by blood, emitting a strange black mist.

These black mist condensed into fine black lines, like living hair, surrounding the dilapidated corpse that fell on the ground.

In the blink of an eye, the black lines dispersed again, and the child just now turned into a piece of flesh.

"Hey." The emperor glanced at the minced meat on the ground and said with great disgust:

"As expected, he is a useless side bastard. The purity of his bloodline is too poor. There are so many scraps of bones and flesh."

My breath suddenly suffocated!

Erin's eyes were splitting as she stared at the ball of flesh on the ground that had no human shape at all.

There was a buzzing in her ears, her mind went blank, and for a moment it seemed like she couldn't hear anything.

Only the phrase "Big sister, help me..." kept repeating anxiously in my mind!

"Beast! Beast!!"

His usually sweet voice was stern, but now he was tainted with heart-rending violence.

Suddenly, the purple-red light suddenly bloomed.

The furious Irene raised her hand, and the fierce magic turned into a dagger and flew straight towards the emperor.

Seeing the purple light coming like lightning, the emperor was so frightened that he took several steps back and fell directly to the ground.

Just when he raised his hand to block it and screamed, a black mist condensed into a wall, blocking him in front of him.

But even so, Irene's powerful magic power still broke through the wall and pierced the emperor's palm.

"You hurt me, you actually hurt me?!"

Holding his bloody palms, the emperor was shocked and angry, and cursed in anger,

"I am the emperor! I am the most noble emperor of the Eaton Empire!

"You actually want to kill me for such a bunch of bastards, how dare you, how dare you?!"

"Why don't you dare!"

Irene struggled, turned her magic power into a sharp blade, and cut off the black thread wrapping her legs.

She stood up slowly, her angry purple eyes almost bursting with fire.

"Killing innocent people indiscriminately, even children, you are not a noble emperor, you are worse than a pig or a dog!

"If I see such an emperor, I will kill one, and I will kill two of them!!"

"Okay, okay!" the emperor sneered coldly,

"In this case, I want to see whether I die faster or they die faster.

"You want to be Our Lady of Mercy? Ha! Let's see how many people you can save!"

After he finished speaking, the spider webs on the ceiling seemed to have lost their stickiness.

Forty-eight children fell down together like stones.

In such an urgent and panic situation, Irene was not at all panicked.

She caught the child closest to her and held her tightly in her arms.

"Embrace of the Underworld Fire!"

Even though he was trapped in a spell formation and couldn't use his magic power, the moment the purple light appeared.

A staff of sun, moon and stars appeared out of thin air in mid-air.

The Embrace of Hellfire, which is connected to Irene's mind, can summon the wind-controlling magic circle without the master's command.

Hayate accurately caught all the fallen children.

"big sister……"

Irene lowered her head when she heard the sound, only to see the little girl in her arms looking up at her blankly.

Because of her thinness, her pale cheeks were somewhat sunken, but her big green eyes were like crystal gems, not covered in dust.

"Don't be afraid." Erin raised her hand and gently touched the little girl's head.

"Big sister has already hugged you and won't let you get hurt at all."

"……Really?"

"Really." Erin nodded, curled her lips and smiled, speaking in a soft and firm tone.

"Big sister is the most powerful person in the world. With big sister here, all of you will be safe."

Tears fell down, staining the girl's cracked lips.

She pursed her lips and didn't speak, she just threw herself into Irene's arms and held her tightly.

Irene's warm smile like the spring breeze made her feel warm, and the fragrance of roses around her made her feel more at ease.

She didn't know Irene, but she believed her words.

Big sister is the most amazing person in the world and we will all be safe.

Seeing Irene saving all the children in an instant, the emperor's eyes were full of disbelief.

"No! It's impossible!"

He took several steps back, screaming in terror.

"This is an ancient magic spell set by the God of Darkness, specifically designed to suppress you.

"The spell circle has been lit and you have fallen into it. It is impossible for you to still be able to use magic so freely!"

God of darkness?

The tense heartstrings jumped suddenly, and Erin understood everything instantly.

No wonder I am so powerless. It turns out that this curse formation was set up by the God of Darkness.

If it weren't for the suppression of the power of the Elf's Heart, I might not be able to use magic power.

"Not enough, there must be not enough blood!" The emperor's eyes turned red and he roared angrily,

"No meat, no food, no blood, no blood. It only swallowed two children and couldn't light up the entire spell array.

"We need to use blood to commemorate the array, and we need more and more blood to commemorate the array!"

"You're dreaming!" Irene held the child in her arms firmly, her tone disdainful,

"These children have been rescued by me. I use the wind as a shield. You can't hurt them at all, let alone use their blood sacrifice array!"

Irene's sarcastic tone not only did not make the emperor angry, but instead made him laugh.

The bloodshot blue eyes showed a terrifying color.

He raised the corners of his lips, revealing a strange smile that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.

"Who said I want to use their blood? What I want to use is obviously your blood."

The voice just fell.

Before Irene could react, she felt a pain in her side.

The girl in her arms actually took a knife condensed with black mist and stabbed Irene's side.

The blood stained her young hands red, and tears fell down her cheeks.

"Sister, my hands...are out of control."
