The Deceitful One

Bryan walked forward step by step as if he were a zombie. His head remained low and his legs made stiff movements. He was the puppet and Lara was the puppeteer.

Looking at Bryan's dazed eyes, Lara couldn't help but smirk to herself as she spoke in disdain, "Where's that rough behavior from before gone?"

However, Bryan didn't reply. And neither did Lara expect him to reply. She closed her eyes, as she waited for Bryan to properly serve her. She would then rape him on the bed.

And finally, she would drain him of all his blood while he was still in the hypnotized state.

Bryan finally stood right in front of Lara as he put his left arm around her waist and used his right arm to fondle her breasts.

"Mmh~" Lara raised her head slightly and moaned. She then instructed, "Get down on your knees and massage my vagina with your tongue."

However, Bryan continued to fondle Lara's breast. He had completely ignored her instructions.

"Hmm?" Lara's eyebrows furrowed as she lowered her head to glare at Bryan, "Get down on your fucking kn-"

However, she couldn't finish her sentence as her eyes widened in disbelief. With great difficulty, she turned to look further down.

She saw that Bryan was still grabbing onto her breast, however, blood had begun to trickle down from the area where his hand came in contact with her chest. She could feel that her heart had been punctured!

'But h-how?' She thought inwardly. Right at that moment, she caught a glimpse of a thin narrow blade protruding from underneath Bryan's wrist. This was the blade that stabbed her heart!

Lara looked at Bryan with an incredulous gaze, "Y-You!!"

Bryan slowly lifted his head and made eye contact with Lara. His eyes were no longer glazed as before. Now, they were shining with a black light.

He coldly stared into Lara's eyes as his lips curled up into a mischievous smirk, "Surprise!"

Bryan then forcefully grabbed Lara's head from behind with his left hand. He removed the mystiko blade from her heart and immediately stabbed it back inside!

"Ugh!!" Lara grunted in pain as the blood drenched her entire torso red. She glared at Bryan as she tried to get free from his grasp, "You're a Transcendent!"

Seeing Lara speak even after being stabbed twice in the heart, Bryan remained calm, "As expected of a Blood Path scum. Your regenerative abilities are truly terrifying."

Lara's eyes turned bloodshot as she withstood the agonizing pain in her heart and grabbed Bryan's shoulders. She then ruthlessly kneed him in the testicles.

"Uggh!! Fucking bitch!" Bryan groaned as he viciously cursed Lara. However, before he could counterattack, Lara had already punched him in the face.

The punch was a strong one as it sent Bryan flying across the room. He smashed through the door of the bedroom and landed in the hallway outside.

His back smashed against the wall and he limply fell to the ground. As the debris fell over him he wondered in his heart, 'What a savage right hook! But more importantly…'

Bryan gently caressed his balls as he cursed inwardly, 'Fuck, that hurt! Ugh!'

Meanwhile, Lara dropped to her knees as she clutched the chest area where she had been stabbed. Blood spewed out from her mouth as well as she struggled to breathe.

'Fuck! This bastard was playing all along.' Lara realized what a blunder she had made. She never expected that she'd be bringing home a Transcendent. Usually, it was always those young foolish men.

She began to wonder if Bryan had been targeting her or if all of this was just a coincidence. A ruthless glint gleamed across her eyes as she gritted her teeth, 'No, I must kill him right here right now!'

Thanks to the Blood Path Transcendent's innate ability Regeneration, the two stab wounds to her heart had been healed within a minute.

Lara slowly got up to her feet as she clenched her fists and glared at the location where Bryan was lying down limply.

She began to chuckle coldly, "You really did a number on me, Bryan! But look at you now. One punch was all it took to incapacitate you. A weakling like you can only fight others by taking them by surprise."

As she walked closer and closer to Bryan, she could see that his body was twitching from time to time. Afraid that he would attack her by surprise again, Lara decided to cast a spell from a distance.

However, just as she was about to cast a Blood Path spell, her eyes widened in shock as her body began to tremble incessantly.

She looked at the figure who had just gotten up to his feet and her eyes began to water, "L-Logan is that you?"

From the debris, stood a young boy who had brown hair and blue eyes. He had chubby cheeks and a round face. He looked at Lara as his lips quivered, "Big sis, it's me!"

Lara's heart ached listening to his younger brother. It hurt more than when Bryan had stabbed her. And she knew that the person in front of her was her younger brother, Logan, in the flesh.

She would have known if it was an illusion. It was the real deal!

Logan slowly limped toward Lara as he sobbed, "Why? Big sis, why? Why didn't you help me that time?"

Lara choked on her tears as she shook her head, "N-No, Logan! Big sis tried her best! You must believe me."

Unbeknownst to her, shadowy black tendrils rose from her shadow as they silently curled around her legs, waist, and hands.

Lara was so devastated after seeing her younger brother, Logan, whom she had thought to be dead, that she didn't even notice that she had been trapped!

Rank 1 Spell: Shadow Tendrils!

Logan came and stood right in front of her as he caressed her cheek, "Big sis, do you really love me?"

Lara nodded her head as tears streamed down her face, "I do, Logan. Big sis will do anything for you."

Logan lowered his head and muttered, "Anything?"

"Yes!" Lara nodded as she began to faintly smile, "I'll never let anyth-"

However, her words got stuck in her throat as she saw Logan's brown hair slowly turn black. Logan then slowly lifted his head, however, it wasn't Logan anymore, It was Bryan!

And what he had used just now was the God-Level artifact of the Transformation Path, Deceit!
