A saintess? She's just a bad woman.

"you!"

Princess Hero saw a large amount of blood and foam suddenly gushing from Saint Karina's mouth and rushed over anxiously.

Unfortunately, the petrification magic, which the Naga people are best at, rendered her unable to move, and even managing to utter a sound was extremely difficult for her.

She was powerless to resolve the current stalemate, and could only watch everything with a broken heart, praying that someone would come to her rescue as soon as possible.

"You think I'd willingly agree to go with a pervert like you... don't even think about it."

Convinced that the Naga Queen wouldn't kill her, Saint Karina endured the pain and struggled to confront her.

"Hehe... It's okay, it's a good thing you refused. If you had agreed too quickly, it would have bored me. This way, I would have a reason to punish you properly, wouldn't I?"

Healing magic and destructive violence churned simultaneously in Saint Karina's mouth—this was the woman's doing.

She could have easily destroyed Saint Karina's little mouth, and even blown her head off, but she didn't want to. The warm, moist feeling, and Saint Karina's expression of enduring pain and refusing to give in, all made her wet.

Her hand pressed against Saint Karina's jaw, letting the blood seep out, as she watched with a morbid smile.

"Protect...the..."

The pain gradually eroded her reason, and her only way to save herself suddenly came to mind.

The problematic blessing ceremony and Lina's strange reaction made her want to try it herself.

"What? Little sister, are you interested in your older sister's body? What a lewd brat..."

Trembling, he reached out a hand towards the Naga Queen's soft spot.

At such a slow speed, it would be incredibly easy for the other person to dodge if they wanted to. However, the woman didn't dodge; instead, she deliberately handed the large white rabbit to Saint Karina.

She was about to defend her charm when suddenly her heart started pounding wildly. Something was wrong with her body; the impact was too strong, and even the petrification magic couldn't be maintained.

"Saint Karina!"

Princess Heroine had just regained her mobility when she rushed towards Saint Karina. She looked at Saint Karina with heartache, took out a blue bottle of healing potion, uncorked it, and poured it into Saint Karina's mouth.

This is an alchemist's potion, with effects similar to healing magic.

There are no side effects. The healing potion comes in six grades: low, medium, high, extreme, holy, and divine. Currently, alchemists can only achieve the extreme effect at most. The holy effect belongs to an ancient legacy, while the divine effect can only be achieved by the Radiant God and the Goddess of Mercy.

"Cough cough cough."

The sensation of swallowing the mixed blood was unpleasant, causing her to cough violently.

However, the extremely high-quality potion allowed Saint Karina's injuries to heal instantly.

In just half a minute, her oral mucosa was completely healed and new mucosa grew, but there was still a bloody taste lingering on her taste buds.

"Thanks."

The pain completely disappeared, but the nerve pain didn't go away so quickly. Santa Karina's tongue was numb, so her speech was naturally not very fluent.

In fact, given the severity of her injuries, ordinary low-grade potions would have been sufficient to heal her.

Although the Naga Queen was torturing her, there was no corrosive energy involved; she was simply inflicting pain on her with sharp edges and magic, which was within the scope of physical suffering.

Can I kill her now?

Princess Hero asked.

At this moment, the Naga Queen was trembling on the ground. The stimulation brought by Saint Karina was even stronger than she had imagined. She had collapsed to the ground, convulsing in pain, like a drug addict having an attack.

No...don't.

Stuttering, Saint Karina refused Princess Helo's request.

In fact, she had no doubt that even with her horny appearance after swallowing so many computer parts, she could easily kill two people much weaker than her if they really got into a fight.

Based on Saint Karina's past record, as long as her head isn't lost, her level 10 strength is enough for her to keep fighting.

"Hey, how about we... make a deal? You let me go, and I'll... help you sort this out."

Santa Karina made her trade request.

"Okay...hehe..."

As Saint Karina's feet approached, the Naga Queen crept over like a cat-like insect.

She was breathing heavily, and she pounced on her target with incredible speed.

Almost instantly, the other person wriggled on the ground as if they had used Flash, and their body was hanging at Saint Karina's feet. They picked up Saint Karina's jade feet, took off her pretty, sparkly sandals, and licked them like a nymphomaniac.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."

The sound effects were slippery and sticky.

I wonder if this "blessing" not only has the effect of making someone aroused, but also comes with the added benefit of turning the target into a loyal dog. The infatuated smile on the Naga Queen's face really gave me a chill, and I almost wanted to stomp on the other person's head like a watermelon.

"You... calm down."

Saint Karina didn't put her thoughts into action; she was genuinely afraid that stepping on the ground wouldn't break the defenses but instead trigger some even stranger switches.

The woman seemed to have completely changed; she was still rubbing against Saint Karina's feet.

That damp feeling wasn't pleasant, because with the effect of the Ocean Heart pendant, there was no difference between being on the seabed and on land; there was no real sense of being in the sea.

This means that different types of water can still give Santa Karina an exceptionally clear sense of distinction.

"Grrrrrrrrrr."

Finally, after much difficulty, Saint Karina managed to pull her foot away, enduring the chill of being stared at by the female pervert. She placed her foot on the other woman's private parts, intending to send her directly to the peak of pleasure with her foot.

41. Möbius strip

"Please don't pity me, hit harder."

After much scheming and maneuvering, Saint Karina and the Naga Queen completed a bitter and complicated deal.

Before leaving, the woman gave Saint Karina a very dangerous look, almost making her think that the Naga Queen was going to change her mind.

However, she simply tied a strand of hair to Santa Karina's wrist, said "We'll meet again," and left meaningfully.

"Could that... be a curse?"

Princess Hero pointed to the hair and asked.

If she hadn't seen with her own eyes how the Naga Queen's hair seemed to come alive, wrapping itself around Saint Karina's wrist to form a Möbius strip-like structure, she might have mistaken it for just a black rope.

"You could say that."

The feeling of having her wrist gripped by the ouroboros was unpleasant; the slippery scales slid across her skin.

Although it is just an ordinary black knot-like thing now, in alchemy, the ouroboros symbol is a spell containing purifying power.

The greatest alchemists even believed that the ouroboros was the prototype of all things in alchemy, and also the energy center of the "mandala" esoteric religion in alchemy.

In its symbolism of love, it represents endless love; no matter where it begins, we can meet again. The words spoken by the Naga Queen before her departure are chilling.

If possible, Saint Karina would never want to get involved with such an evil being.

"Do you need me to ask your mom to take it off for you?"

"No need. She has no intention of killing me; she's just having fun. It's difficult for people of the same class to completely remove the curse, and acting rashly would only make it easier to trigger it."

Saint Karina shook her head in refusal. "Anyway, there's no problem right now, so let's just pretend nothing happened."

She believed that the woman wouldn't kill her; she was just after something else.

Now that I'm so weak, having the opponent's clone on me might save my life if I'm in danger. The Naga Queen probably wouldn't be happy to have her prey so easily taken by someone else.

"I can not be reconciled!"

In the heart of the battlefield, a faint phantom emerged from the sea monster. Looking at the chaotic scene before it, it knew that its side had been defeated.

It had clearly instigated the Naga Queen to lead her troops to attack the underwater kingdom, thinking that at least it would be a sure thing and both sides would suffer heavy losses, so that it could then reap the benefits. In the end, it was the one who suffered all the damage.

Looking at the drastically changed Salt City in the distance, its distorted, phantom face finally vanished, as if nothing had ever happened.

With victory secured, the warriors of the underwater kingdom erupted in a deafening cheer.

“Saint Karina, you are a hero of our mermaid race, and you are my hero.”

The Little Mermaid gave Saint Karina a huge hug, the size of which was truly astonishing, almost crushing Saint Karina's breasts.

"It's just good luck, thanks to the favor of the Sea God." Saint Karina gently embraced Princess Helo's waist, which was so soft and boneless that it made her sway.

"What I have done is far less than what you have done."

Saint Karina was merely dancing and pleasing female hooligans. Indeed, she categorized the sea god and the Naga queen as part of the same "female hooligans" group, showing no reverence for the gods whatsoever.

Anyway, the gods can't hear her thoughts, they're not her yes-men, so the respect she shows can just stay on the surface; she can do whatever she wants in her heart.

"In short, on behalf of the merfolk, I offer my blessings to our heroes."

Princess Hero had been craving Saint Karina's lips for a long time, and now she could no longer suppress her feelings, so she kissed the soft spot with a soft smack.

Her cheeks flushed slightly, and after a few more moments of hesitation, she took a few steps back to create some distance.

"Oh dear, it seems I've disturbed you young people."

Holding the trident of Poseidon, the mermaid queen, who had not yet returned the treasure to the treasury, arrived at the altar immediately.

The war is over. The mermaids suffered only a few thousand casualties, while the Naga army was left with hundreds of thousands of corpses and hundreds of sea monsters.

These are all precious magical materials, and a special department will be responsible for their recycling.

"No...no, Mom..."

Princess Hero's face turned even redder, as if it were about to bleed.

She was still not good at being affectionate with Santa Karina in front of her parents, and remained as innocent as a teenage girl.

"Here you go, the Trident of Poseidon."

The Mermaid Queen didn't mince words; she simply offered the treasure of her underwater kingdom to Saint Karina, a human.

"Take it. The fact that our casualties have been reduced to this level is all thanks to you. Even if you hadn't been on the battlefield, you would still be the greatest contributor."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Saint Karina didn't mince words; she immediately intended to take the weapon.

Because she reached out, the mermaid queen noticed the incongruous black knot. It wasn't there before, so what had happened here without her knowledge?

"Wait, what is this thing? I can smell an aura I hate on it."

The Mermaid Queen was indeed insightful; in front of a powerful being of this caliber, the disguise of the knotted rope was completely exposed.

"I fought with the Naga queen, and this is just a... insignificant little thing she left behind."

Saint Karina didn't mention the curse, but calmly recounted what had just happened, as if it were a trivial matter.

The process was filled with suggestive and embarrassing information, but Nora wasn't angry; she listened to the whole thing with a calm expression.

"As expected of you, your face really makes me want to eat you up~"

The Mermaid Queen Nora spoke with a half-smile. Only when she looked at Saint Karina's wrist did a hint of seriousness appear on her face.

"I'm sorry, I can untie this knot, but your arm might be completely ruined."

The Naga Queen's troublesome Möbius strip operates on a triple state of mystery, body, and spirit.

The arm injury is only the best estimate; a serious threat to life is also a possibility.

"She said she's coming to see you? Is it for revenge?"

"Probably not..."

Saint Karina recalled their conversation and the Naga Queen's tone and expression before she left, and shook her head.

"She doesn't seem to care about the lives of her people, and she's like a snake, cold-blooded to the core. Moreover, she said things like instigating others and listening to slander, directly withdrawing from the war, protecting herself, and only bullying easy targets like me. It shouldn't be the kind of revenge Her Majesty the Queen is thinking of."

Even if it's revenge... Saint Karina believes it's revenge in the kind of lewd, negative-distance kind.

Saint Karina knew very well that the woman was lusting after her body.

42. Head to the ruins

In the dead of night, fragmented memories flooded Santa Karina's mind. They were memories of underwater ruins, long forgotten by time, surrounded by desolation and various aquatic plants deep in the ocean.

In the war of the gods hundreds of years ago, both the sunken Lynia and the destroyed underwater kingdom of Tico held some unknown secrets, and there were countless treasures and books that could enhance one's strength.

Those books were printed on special paper and with special ink, and they also had an invisible protective film on the surface to protect them from damage. They can be preserved for a very long time, easily over a thousand years.
