The three men were itching to have a go at Lilith and Arya. They couldn't wait to devour the two beauties. Although their actual bodies were not present in the astral world, everything felt real. The sense of touch, smell, and everything was the same as in reality.
Pain or pleasure; whatever one could experience in the material world, one could also feel it in the astral world. The only exception being that their physical bodies were absent in this realm.
One would bleed if one was cut and one would suffocate if choked. That's the way things worked in this realm.
Hence, the three men were delighted to see such divine beauties in this world. All this while, they've been killing the people they saw and now these three had a chance to finally take a break and have some fun.
Little did they know that their lust could lead to their death….
Gauging one's strength in the Astral World was nigh impossible unless one was a god. Nobody knew the strength of the other party. The best thing to do in this situation was to consider everyone as a stronger being than yourself and take appropriate measures.
The three men may not be able to ascertain the strength of the beauties before them but Lilith was a god. She saw through their cultivation ranks at a glance and her expression hardened.
Although Arya was not able to measure the strength of these three men standing in front of her, she simply took a battle stance by noticing the seriousness on her mother-in-law's face.
Lucy might have not noticed it but Arya definitely knew that something was off with her mother-in-law today. Her usual gentle and cheerful self was nowhere to be seen while her eyes were full of worry.
"Maybe she is worried about Lith…." Arya guessed in her heart as she also was concerned about Lith.
She wasn't in the mood to joke around today and neither was she dilly-dallying. The matter here was serious where her beloved's safety was at a risk.
Lilith, looking at the three fools, exhaled lightly and a grim look that was never seen before appeared on her face. Her eyes slowly turned from their original amethyst purple color to blood red as anger swelled up within her.
She was enraged beyond measure by the three people blocking their path. Not only did they have the audacity to look at herself, Arya, and Lucy lecherously, but they also committed a crime that they never should've.
They tried to be a hindrance in Lilith's path.
She was really really angry.
"Hahahaha! Look, look, the beauties are angry it seems."
"Oh my, I think we need to show them some love and ease their anger."
"Hahahaha! I know right! We better just turn their angry expression into a begging one. If you know what I mean! Hahahahaha!"
"I know right? We should simply ra—"
BOOM!
The man's lower body exploded right as he spoke the words and he was sent flying a thousand kilometers away.
"What!?"
The other people cried out with surprise when they saw their companion get defeated so quickly.
They were about to look at Lilith and Arya when one of them felt an excruciating pain all over his body.
"AHHHHHHH! WHAT'S HAPPENING!?"
A million tiny needles popped out from beneath the skin of the man creating a very grotesque scene. His eyes had a hundred small needles coming out of them. His nose, his ears, his mouth; Needles were emerging from everywhere on his body, from head to toe.
And these needles weren't any ordinary needles either. These needles increased the sensitivity to pain, ensuring that it hurt at least a hundred times more, making the pain unbearable.
"AHHHH! KARL! KARL! SAVE ME! SAVE ME! AHHHHH! IT FUCKING HURTS!!!!" The man begged his partner to end his agony.
The final remaining person looked at his partner with shocked eyes and felt the urge to puke. He was so scared out of his wits that were this his material body, his pants would've been wet by a warm yellow liquid.
The man turned his head and looked at Lilith and Arya to see if they were the ones behind his partner's suffering. To his surprise, Lilith was standing right in front of him.
Standing at two meters tall, Lilith was looking down at the man in front of her as if he was a piece of trash. Her brows were knitted and her eyes were blood red with blazing fury.
Just a few seconds ago, Lilith appeared like a heavenly beauty but now, she…
She appeared more terrifying than a Demon God!
"Pl-please… l-let me g—"
Lilith held the guy's neck and raised him in the air, cutting off his words.
The guy struggled with all his might but it was all for naught.
He tried to use magic and get away but realized he couldn't use anything. His connection to elemental energies was somehow severed!
The fear in his eyes intensified as he looked at Lilith and his back went cold. Goosebumps had formed all over his body as his heart chilled at the murderous intent emanating from Lilith.
Lilith looked at him and gnashed her teeth. If not for time being of an essence, she would've tortured him in such a way he would simply beg for death. He would wish for his being to be erased out of existence rather than reincarnate again and suffer like this.
Lilith snapped the fingers of her other hand and she immediately appeared right on top of a pit. Her surroundings changed and she was in a forest with a silvery-crimson moon hanging above her head.
She was back in Nightingale with just one thought!
In the pit, there were a thousand creatures. There were snakes, rats, wolves, fishes, and various other beasts. Most of the native wild animals of Nightingale were there in that pit.
Lilith looked at the man as she was holding and said in a neutral tone to him,
"You wanted to r*pe me, right?"
"NO! NO! NO! IT WASN'T ME! IT WAS TH—"
"I'll be back in a while. Let's see how you'll do that to me then." Saying so, Lilith dropped the guy in the pit.
"NOOOOOoooo!" The man's voice trailed off as he fell below.
Lilith then continued, "...given you survive this first."
Lilith snapped her fingers and in an instant she was back inside the Astral World.
"AHHHHHH!" The man shouted loud enough to alert the maidservants of the castle as he fell into the deep chasm.
