Tulip nervously descended a dark flight of stairs that existed deep below the sunken kingdom’s royal palace, reaching a grand wall with a strange triangle symbol on it.

Many wanted to go past this point, but only those who had the right blessing could. She still remembered the day she stumbled upon this place as a kid when she was hiding from her mother after eating a chocolate cake… She managed to enter inside by coincidence earning the right to be the Void lord’s disciple.

She raised one hand and touched the symbol to activate her powers, disappearing and appearing again behind the wall in a spherical hall that had a giant translucent crystal in its center.

Tulip bowed politely then slowly walked to face the dignified yet charming middle-aged woman who seemed to be trapped inside the crystal.

“Master…” Tulip greeted, making the Void Lord who was frozen inside the crystal open her eyes slowly.

“Tulip… You are back early,” the woman said without moving her lips. “Was your mother cured?” she asked.

Tulip didn’t answer, she just took a leather pouch from her storage ring and then opened it on the ground to reveal the corpse of the millipede that crawled off her mother yesterday.

“A cursed demonic Millipede?” the master asked in surprise.

“This thing crawled from my mother after she drank the antidote… I struck it with my umbrella… Is this thing related to the curse? The Widow's Vengeance?” Tulip asked.

“No… Interesting… How is your mother?” the void lord asked.

“Ah… She woke up an hour ago, the doctors are saying she is better than ever, just a little shocked… Still….” Tulip hesitated.

“What?”

“She is acting strange…”

“How strange? Let me think… She is acting nice, isn’t she?”

“Ah… Yes… In a way, nicer than usual… Is she okay?” Tulip asked. Her mother started acting funny after she woke up, hugging her hard and thanking her. This made her very uncomfortable.

“She is fine… No wonder…” the Void lord said, seemingly amused. “This must be your mother's real personality!”

“What do you mean?”

“What was infecting your mother was not the Widow’s Vengeance apparently, but an animated curse!”

“The millipede?”

“Yes… The Widow’s Vengeance poison you were told about is usually made with this thing’s poison combined with some other rare herbs… I didn’t expect them to use the real thing though, this thing is very hard to use and extremely dangerous as not only does it mess with its targets’ reproductive functions to utilize it for its own benefits, but it also controls its nervous system making them more aggressive and nasty,” the void lord explained. “This thing is about 15 years old… It is about to become an adult and once that happens it will be able to reproduce and spread its egg through your mother!”

“WHAT?”

“If your mother were to sleep with someone, and believe me she will after this thing makes her horny, not only would the male lose his ability as a man, the millipede would push its eggs inside of him!” the void lord continued. “In a man’s body, this thing is 100 times more tricky to cure… It will also start reproducing through him!”

“Ah… ” Tulip sweated a little.

“This was very dangerous! The one who gave you the cure for the Widow’s Vengeance might have known this…” the Void lord said. “They must have tricked you on purpose!” she pondered.

“What do you mean?” Tulip nervously asked.

“Well, this is the crucial point of using the millipede. If your mother were to learn of its existence before its removal, her body would start rejecting the millipede unconsciously, forcing the insect to try to kill the host! In fact, this is its main usage, a hidden bomb of sorts!” The void lord said. “The antidote you gave your mother has the function of completely regenerating the womb, and in this process all the womb would have to die, making the millipede think that her host is dying then leave!” the Void lord said, looking at the dead millipede.

“Ahh…” Tulip didn’t know what to say. “Then… Will my mother be ok?”

“Yes, in a week or two the neurotoxins remaining in her body would be expelled and she would be fine,”

“Oh…” Tulip sighed in relief. “Will… Will my mother be nice now?” she had to ask.

“I have no idea as I never met your mother… But the Millipied only makes her aggressive, it does not change her character,” the Void lord said. “But I guess, relatively speaking, she will be a little nicer from now on…”

“Oh…” Tulip didn’t know what to think. She really wished for her mother to stop being angry all the time. But her mother acting nice felt very strange.

“Did you investigate the identity of the one who gave you the cure?” The Void lord asked.

“Yes… We found nothing, it was as if he appeared out of thin air!” Tulip said.

“Oh… That’s impossible, people with such deep knowledge and wisdom usually belong to some ancient power!” the Void lord said. “Why did he help you?” she asked.

“I don’t know…” she answered nervously.

“Nothing comes for free…” the lord said, saying the same things Cataleya did. “Did he ask you for any favors?”

“Ahh, he did mention something about a demon cruise trip in his letter, my guess is that he wants me to attack them…. He seemed to hate demons!”

“Just that… I see....” the void lord said pondering then squinted her eyes as if she felt something. “Oh... Let’s try something. Close your eyes… I want you to start thinking about killing that man in the cruelest way possible!”

“Ahh… Why?” Tulip asked. She usually tried hard not to think about that perverted emperor. The memory of his caused her to be very conflicted.

“I just want to see if you fell in love with him or not...” the void lord said. "You young girls can be easily easily scammed after all!"

"I would never..." Tulip objected with a slight blush. She would never fall for that arrogant bastard!

"The do as I say!"

“Ah… Ok… “ Tulip who felt strange quickly closed her eyes and began thinking about what Vic did to her, then how she must take revenge, cutting him into very tiny pieces. She couldn’t help remembering him calling her Turnip...That bastard! How dare he!

“You can stop now… Did you feel anything strange?” the void lord asked with an amused voice.

“Ah… No…” Other than a slight blush, there were no other signs on her.

“Not a curse…” the void lord pondered in a low voice. “No…” she added, making a strange talisman appear out of thin air in front of Tulip. “Activate this thing for you…”

"This is?"

"For protection..." the void lord lied.

Tulip nodded, taking that talisman, placing it on her hand then activating it.

It flashed then nothing happened.

“Could I be mistaken?… Impossible… " she frowned.

"Master... Is there anything wrong?" Tulip felt strange.

"... Just some pondering... What was the dungeon you were in called again?” the void lord who began to lose confidence asked.

“The blood moon…” Tulip replied.

“Blood? Could it be that piece of shit Ormious?” the void lord said. “Did you eat anything suspicious there?”

“Yes, some kind of fruit…”

“Oh… No wonder you look pale! it must be it! Tulip, I want you to sit in a meditative position, then slow your heartbeat… this might hurt…”

“What does the master want to do?”

“I need to examine you, the fruit you ate might contain poison...” she lied.

Tulip frowned then sat down on the ground in a lotus position. She closed her eyes and relaxed, slowing her heartbeats.

Moments later, she could feel her master’s power, it was as if something was going inside her veins, scanning her.

“It will be in a split second now… bear with it…” the void lord said.

“Um…” Tulip said then seconds later she felt as if her entire blood vessels and heart were empty then filled again in a split second. It hurt a little and caused Tulip to start coughing as she collapsed on the ground.

“I KNEW IT!” the void lord screamed! “CAUGHT YOU, YOU SNEAKY BASTARD, HOW DARE YOU TRY TO TAKE OVER MY DISCIPLE… YOU CAN’T ESCAPE!....”

Tulip felt as if the entire chamber began to shake as her master activated her powers then everything returned to normal a moment later.

“What was that?” Tulip asked nervously as she sat up.

“Some sneaky bastard has placed a blood slave seal on you!” the void lord said with some difficulty, using skills for her was very hard.

“Ah… What?” Tulip asked in shock.

“DAMN, IT ... “ the void lord scolded. “That bastard cut his connection with you a moment before I found him… ” the void lord said angrily ignoring her disciple as she activated a few tracing skills and then watched them fail one after the other. She couldn’t even get to appraise him… This had never happened before.

Who was that guy?

Victor sat up abruptly from Lily’s lap and then began to breathe with difficulty. He was currently in Margret's new shiny car that she was driving, sitting in the back with Lily and Elise.

The other girls were in a different car.

“What happened?” Lily asked as Elise, who was wearing thick sunglasses, looked at Victor worriedly. Ever since she met him, she never saw him this distressed.

“That bitch filtered Tulip’s blood through a subspace and managed to find me… “ Victor cursed nervously. “Thankfully my fate skill managed to warn me in time to cut my connection with her!” he added remembering the thick black fate thread that appeared all of a sudden around his neck.

“Was she able to identify you?’ Lily asked.

“She tried but failed…” he said. Thankfully his authority forbade it, but it was a close call if he didn’t manage to use Tulip’s skills to forcibly vaporize his trace from her body.

“I warned you not to miss my sister…” Lily said. “And Lords are not to be trifled with… “

“...” Victor had no answer.

“So she is no longer your blood slave?” Lily asked just to be sure.

“Sadly no…” he sighed, making her want to slap him hard. The bastard was definitely planning to add Tulip to his harem!

“Was my mother cured?” she asked finally.

“Yes, the cursed millipede was removed successfully!” he said, making Lily sigh in relief. That thing infected her father in their previous life, and if it were not for some friend’s help he might have not noticed it and allowed it to grow in his body.
The one who planted it would have only had to inform him about it for him to die… It was an ingenious plot!
The one behind it was none other than her uncle, who in the other timeline, only accepted the duel with her father thinking that he could kill him easily by informing him about the millipede.
Thankfully, her father was long cured by that time thanks to some lord’s help.

“Did you find anything about the Void lord?” Elise asked.

“YES! That’s why I think she was able to feel my existence… Apparently, being a lord is a class!” Victor said as he took a notebook and began to write the results of his appraisal.

“You can appraise lords?” Lily asked in shock.

“Apparently… Maybe it is because of my class..” Victor lied. This had to do with his X-ranked appraisal and his authority.

“What does this mean?” Elise, who had to raise her shades to look at the data, asked.

“I have no idea…” Victor shrugged before he returned to lay on Lily’s lap. “But this will be troublesome…” he said.

Akaichi I really need to work on the appraisal and class systems...
