Zi Quan Mei toldZi Yi Ru that there will be a price to pay if Sanguan Li Ye wanted to be healed. Overcome by despair and fear for her daughter and her future, Zi Yi Ru immediately agreed readily it never crossed her mind that the price would be too high for anyone to bear.

Sanguan Li Ye only wore an inner white robe, her robes were worn loosely showing part of her plump chest and long white legs, her long black hair flowing down her shoulders like a waterfall framing her flawless pale skin, her eyes were two black dots furiously staring daggers at Lory. 

Meanwhile, Lory's gaze was focused on the white claw on Sanguan Li Ye's abnormal right arm that already turned into an ordinary hand again, Lory was sure this definitely is a work of magic.

Sanguan Li Ye smirked as she bared her hand in front of Lory thus she said proudly "Isn't this beautiful? I have become much stronger, all my senses are sharp than ever, I become even stronger than my grandfather and everyone else, I become invincible!" Sanguan Li Ye crackle evilly, there's no trace of haughty young girls she was before as she becomes something else.

"What have they done to you?" Lory said with a pang of genuine sadness and pity in her voice.

Sanguan Le Ye might not know what she become but Lory knew full well because she had seen this happen in the past but only one time, it happened a long time ago on the island where everyone was cursed because one of the women on the island play with black magic and do some ritual that turns her into something inhuman. 

Never in million years Lory would have thought she will face the same situation in the cultivation world where magic is not supposed to exist.

Sanguan Li Ye thought Lory was afraid of her new power, Sanguan Li Ye lifted her chin gloat triumphantly "Do you think I will be crippled for the rest of my life, do you think I will lie down and die? Guess what, I have become much stronger, more beautiful than I ever before, In fact, I must thank you, Madam Zhao, because of you I've become like this!" Sanguan Li Ye's voice was etched with joy. 

Sanguan Li Ye's words made Lory shrouded guilty, Sanguan Li Ye was hurt because of her even though it was Girsha who actually caused the harm and Zhao Li Xin who made the situation worse but they did it because of her, maybe if she had acted differently the situation would be got that worst. 

'Is it my fault?' Lory lament to herself.

However Lory forgot that at that time she was trying to avoid the situation escalating, she kept warning Sanguan Li Ye but Sanguan Li you were persistent she didn't let Lory go, instead, she shamelessly tried to rob Girsha from Lory's hands and use the Prince's to justify her actions and she also threatened and humiliated Lory at in public which ultimately angered Girsha and that's why Sanguan Li Ye got to this state but Lory who used to be tolerant of other people's faults but for some reason exceptionally harsh on herself seem to forget about this.

"Stronger and beautiful?" Lory's brows knit tightly, "Do you know what you've become? you are no longer human you have become a heretic! That means your soul belongs to the devil now, you know that?! Lory expression etched with helplessness and fear for Sanguan Li Ye, she couldn't believe a pampered little girl like Sanguan Li Ye was willing to sell her own soul, there's no way Sanguan Li Ye would be so desperate.

Sanguan Li Ye pursed her lips into a tight pout, her gaze filled with accusations and disbelief, "You are a liar, you think you are the only one who could have power" she snorts in disdain "Actually I'm surprised you can be this strong but compare to me, you are nothing!" 

Sanguan Li Ye stretched out her hand and once again her hand turned into a white skull with giant claws reaching in Lory's direction.

Lory jumped back as a claw try to grab her then suddenly from the opposite direction another claw came, this time Sanguan Li Ye used both her hands to crush Lory like a fly. 

Lory blocked the attack with her sword at the same time controlling her flying dagger towards Sanguan Li Ye but the daggers were slapped by her giant claws, and the dagger was thrown and scattered to the ground, Bai Zi then took this opportunity to attack Sanguan Li Ye who was preoccupied with Lory but who would have thought the Skeleton's arm could split itself into numerous sharp bones and launch towards Bai Zi and Lory in high speed. 

"Oh, this is not fair!" Lory swung her sword to block the attack while another hand tried to snatch her from the other side so Lory had to be agile to dodge the continuous attacks from Sanguan Li Ye. Lory leaped through the air bouncing between the rune circles she created in the air while simultaneously creating a barrier every time Sanguan Li ye launch her attack.

Sanguan Li Ye got exasperated she shouted in anger "STOP FIGHTING ME!"

"Yeah, that won't happen!" Lory leaped further in the air, swung her sword vigorously, soon she managed to break Sanguan Li Ye's left arm, her giant claws shattered, and Sanguan Li Ye shrill in a high-pitched.

"YOU BITC*, I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" Sanguan Li Ye's fury sprang to life, refusing to give up, Sanguan Li Ye then absorbed more dark mana into her body and suddenly all of her eyes including the whites turned black, the broken claws reconnected and it enlarger to a bigger size than before Sanguan Li Ye's face twisted as she slowly became less human.

Lory bit her lip as she watched Sanguan Li Ye transform into a full-fledged Lesser Demon, It wasn't fear that clouded Lory's eyes but it was pity and helplessness knowing it was too late for her to help Sanguan Li Ye.

"Mistress!" Bai Zi shouted anxiously.

"Lesser- Demon? What's that?" Little Lory propped her chin on the table which was clearly too high for her.

"Are they strong?" Lucas folded his arms on the table, staring at his father eagerly.

Marcus placed the books on the shelf then he returned to his seat, smiling at the twins who had the same expression as if they were mirroring each other, "Lesser Demons are humans who borrow the power of real Demon to transform into something similar to real Demon, and yes they are very strong"

"Why would anyone want to be a demon?" Lory tilted her head in confusion.

Marcus shrugged "Sadness, fear, hopelessness….still it would require a great sacrifice for a human to become a Lesser Demon"

"What sacrifice?" Lucas asked curiously.

Marcus smiled and patted his right chest "Heart…Love"

"How do you sacrifice something like that?" Lory blinked her big eyes looking even more confused.

"So, when we face the Lesser Demons, what should we do to win against them?" Lucas asked eagerly.

See his son and daughter enthusiast Marcus smile then said solemnly "We showed them the light"

The completely transformed Sanguan Li Ye let out a deafening scream that shook the whole place, her appearance became more like a skull with sunken eyes and thin face as if the life inside her sucked within her, filled with overflowing black mana Sanguan Li Ye pounced on Lory with everything she got.

'We don't condemn them because they too have lost so we show them the light, that's what our power is meant for'

Lory jumped as high as she could, she open her arm then summoned the five shards within her, white light emanating from her chest that was bright as sunlight, the five shards coiled around her each shining in brilliant white light.

The shape-shifting spell that wrapped her had been swept away just like ink washed away by water, revealing her long bluish hair that fluttered gently behind her back, Lory's eyes were shining in a faint purple light.

Sanguan Li Ye could feel the threat coming from the bright light but it was too late for her to back away, the light not only swept across Sanguan Li Ye's face but also some part of the entire underground place as everything was shrouded in the light like daytime and eradicated all those dark creatures that touched by the light.

Lory raised her right hand above her head and the shards circled above her. 

"May the light guide your path" she whisper.

Lory waved her hand and the shards one by one pierced through Sanguan Li Ye's chest like a knife through butter it was swift and clean, Sanguan Li Ye let out a long scream of pain, a big hole appeared on her chest and sanguan Li Ye body fell to the ground. 

The fragment returns to Lory and the light disappears.

Lory landed smoothly on the ground, Bai Zi looked at Lory in admiration 'She's a Goddess!' Bai Zi thought, he had no other words to describe Lory's current appearance.

Lory walked towards Sanguan Li Ye who was dying, Lory see the black smoke evaporate from her body and gradually Sanguan Li Ye's appearance returned to a normal human, Sangguan Li Ye stare at Lory with pleading eyes, Lory kneel on one knee beside her, Lory touch hold Sangguan Li ye hand while she gasping for air painstakingly try to make a word "Mo...Mo..ther...I'm...so..ry" after she say that Sanguan Li Ye closed her eyes and a tear dripped from the corner of her eye, then her body blackened and slowly turned to ashes.

"I will kill Lazarus, and set you free…just wait a little bit, okay" Lory softly said.
