The Priest's Fall Into Lustful Heat - Chapter 110
Sermedes seemed to have no intention of capturing them from the start, gazing down at Liz without even a glance.
“You won’t pull such stunts again, will you?”
“I won’t do it again, I promise!”
“Look up.”
The caramel-colored hair trembled like a reed as Liz raised her head. Sermedes knelt on one knee to meet Liz’s gaze.
“This is where your family benefits end.”
“…”
“Liz Asti, there will be no second chances.”
“I, I understand.”
Liz’s head dropped once more, and it did not rise again.
Just as Payne was about to take advantage of the lull in tension to find an escape route, Sermedes’ sharp gaze suddenly fell upon him.
The eyes of the great demon were spiked with malice.
As they pierced through a mere human, Payne felt an overwhelming fear engulfing him from head to toe.
He clenched his fists and bit his lips in an attempt to hold his ground, but eventually, his head bent down like a fragile twig, unable to withstand the pressure.
“Gray hair and black eyes.”
In that moment, Sermedes nonchalantly detailed Payne’s appearance.
“Dead-looking face. A fine body.”
Though she was a succubus, the desireless gaze coiled around him like a serpent.
Payne began to shiver as the feeling of being observed felt more like being stripped to the bone.
Even with his divine power to endure, a claw-like hand suddenly flew toward him.
“How dare you show the power of Katzel.”
His breath choked.
“It’s you, the man the youngest is so infatuated with.”
“Ugh…!”
Sermedes gripped Payne’s collar and tightened her hold around his throat.
Simply pressing down on his Adam’s apple made his vision blur, and Payne desperately clawed at her wrist, twisting his body in an attempt to escape.
“I see Carmen helped you out. You’re wearing a silly little device.”
“Let me go…!”
Following Payne’s wish, she released him, but with a squeeze of her grip, she crushed Carmen’s necklace, letting him fall to the ground.
Payne coughed repeatedly, gasping for air. Even though it was just a brief moment, the contact with her had been terrifying.
“I told her not to perform unnecessary experiments.”
Yet she dismissed the fact that it was her sister’s possession without hesitation, gazing at Payne with emotionless eyes.
Lying on the ground and catching his breath, Payne didn’t realize it, but Liz, understanding what was about to happen, reached out.
“Wait! Sister! Don’t! No matter what, he’s… Ashtel’s…”
“Nothing at all.”
“If she finds out, she’ll surely be heartbroken!”
“It’s only temporary anyway.”
“Even so…!”
Payne couldn’t understand what was happening.
When he looked up, Sermedes had taken a step closer.
He felt an overwhelming sense of life-threatening danger that had been building since arriving in the demon realm.
He barely managed to stand and back away while trying to unleash his divine power, but for some reason, it was difficult to gather strength.
Payne glanced at his hands in a moment of pain.
Dark liquid was spreading from his fingertips.
This was a sign of corruption.
“Without the necklace, you’ll soon be devoured by demonic energy.”
When he looked ahead, he saw Sermedes closing in.
Payne glanced behind him, taking another step back.
But soon, he realized there was nowhere left to escape.
‘It’s a cliff.’
His heart began to pound.
The pressure was unlike anything he felt when he fell from the sky, intensifying the sensations throughout his body.
“You’ve already fallen off the cliff and died. The necklace was broken then as well.”
Another step closer. As she approached, Payne finally understood what was happening to him.
As he glared at Sermedes without even blinking,
“Sister Liz!”
A familiar voice called from afar.
He never thought he would welcome that voice, but this time felt different.
Payne burst out the breath he had been holding and turned his head.
At the same moment, the world tilted.
“Sister, where are you?”
Ashtel’s clear and watery voice rang out.
In the swaying vision, Payne noticed that Sermedes was looking up toward the sky.
Ashtel seemed to be flying in from the distance.
Ah, if that’s the case, it would be difficult for her to catch him even if she spotted him.
What a foolish expectation had he held.
Did he mistakenly think he could be saved because Ashtel had come?
Payne fell straight into the dark abyss of the cliff.
