The Duke's Passion

Chapter 871 Connecting worlds

"It is silly for you to think like that when, even in that form, you do not have a single horn."

"Sloth!!!" the demon roared, swinging its arm to grab her tiny little body. "How dare you speak so boldly before me?!"

"Uncle." Tilly drew a deep breath, flinging her arm. The dripping blood from her fingertips suddenly turned solid. "You should've stayed in your sleep."

The moment the last syllable rolled out of her tongue, she disappeared from her spot. When the demon clasped his hand, his body froze upon realizing he caught nothing but air. "Say, Uncle. Regenerating takes a ton of energy, isn't it?" Tilly's voice caressed the demon's ears before the demon caught glints across its arm.

Tilly then reappeared on its shoulder, tilting her head to look at the demon's face properly. The demon's eyes slid to the side, and it didn't waste a second to slap her like a mosquito. However, just as the demon's hand landed on its shoulder, its arm fell apart into many parts.

Meanwhile...

"Tilly, you jerk! You should've explained this barrier. Now I feel bad for badmouthing you!"

Tilly pretended she didn't hear Samael, keeping her focus on the demon. Even from this distance, she could hear the audible low growl from her opponent and the stifling power emanating from it. "You shouldn't think twice whether you regenerate or fight just like that," she advised under her breath, eyes glinting menacingly. "Because if you don't, I will continue to chop you off until I do not need these wings to face you."

It didn't take a second for her to charge toward the demon, swirling the pair of red chain sticks from either side of her. As she spun her weapon, sharp spikes appeared around it. "You damn wench!" growled the demon, using his other hand to welcome Tilly with his open grip. With its size, Tilly swiftly dodged its drip. She flew around its arm, hooking the chain stick around the demon's gigantic arm. Her speed was akin to the speed of lightning, making any bystander miss how the red chains connecting her weapon mysteriously extended. CLANG!

Tilly stopped, standing on the demon's back with her hand gripping her weapon. Her eyelashes fluttered ever so slowly, gazing up to see the back of the demon's head. She maintained her stoic countenance, watching an eye suddenly appear on the back of the demon's head. "You —!" the demon halted as it tried to move, only to realize a red chain wrapped around his entire balloon body. "I told you." Tilly kept her gaze at one eye on the demon's back. "Do as much as you can to fight me, because a moment's hesitation might cost you your life."

As soon as her remarks rolled out of her tongue, she pulled the chains, warranting a squeal from her opponent. When she pulled even stronger, the squeal suddenly died down, and then countless body parts fell apart.
