Chapter 284 - Celestina
After seeing her for the first time, Rhode wasn’t surprised, perplexed, or stunned; instead, he felt a headache.
With one glance, he could see the wings behind her.
In this world, there was only one race with that type of wings, and that was the demon race.
Right now, Rhode felt that the name ‘Holy Sword Card Deck’ was getting more and more untrustworthy. First an angel, and now a demon? Holy Spirit, who thought up this brilliant idea? Luckily, it was two weapons and not two people, else he was certain that there would be no peace for the rest of his life… The deep hatred and hostility between demons and the angels didn’t even need to be explained. Fortunately, after reading the attributes of this card, Rhode already had been mentally prepared, so he would not feel extremely helpless because of the current situation. At most, he was just a bit of depressed because his bad feelings always came true.
Right now, the purple haze dispersed and her figure could be seen completely. From her appearance, she was not much older than Celia. Her hair was composed of violet curls in two long ponytails. Unlike Celia, this demon maiden didn’t wear armor or robes suitable for combat. Instead, she dressed up like a noble lady, wearing a black velvet gothic skirt with blood red lace lining contrasting with her delicate white skin. It could be seen that her skin was well-maintained.
Under her skirt, black stockings wrapped around her two slender legs, which were clasped in black boots. It made her look even more attractive and charming. Dark red was painted on her eyes, her thick eyelashes were beautifully shaped, and her lips were covered in pink lipstick. She gave off a dangerous charm that made people willing to die just to indulge her body.
If Celia could be said to be holy and beautiful, and Gillian was hot and attractive, then the girl in front of him was a third kind of beauty totally different from them: beautiful darkness. This was something that was could only be possessed by the devil. She was born in darkness, grew up in darkness, and clad in pure darkness, making people unwilling to make eye contact. The pure beauty itself was a dangerous and fatal temptation. Once people sank in it, there would be no return. There was no need for language or gesture; just by being there, it would attract countless people. The same went for the girl in front of him. He could be sure that if she appeared in public and played a little trick, there would be a lot of men bowing at her feet.
Currently, one of her hands was holding onto her skirt, while the other one was placed on her mouth. She looked like a highly educated young lady. Carefully observing her, Rhode noticed that she was wearing the bizarre ring that Rhode had gotten on her index finger. Unlike the elegant and calm Marlene, she showed a different side of a noble lady—softness and petiteness—making men had the desire to protect her. She portrayed a type of character who would be easily caught by a monster in a story.
“You are the owner of this lady? You look like an interesting gentleman.”
Hearing this remark, Celestina’s complexion slightly changed, but soon, she returned to normal.
“It seems, Sir, that you really do know how to deal with demons. Then, this lady won’t say much or waste our time. But Sir, I would like to remind you to not to confuse this lady with Cella. Although she’s my little sister, this lady isn’t as naive and stupid as her. The trick you used on her won’t work on me. I hope you understand my point. ”
Speaking until here, Celestina once again lifted her skirt and bowed.
“Well, have a nice evening, Sir.”
After she finished her sentence, her figure once again was shrouded by purple haze and she soon disappeared again. She transformed into a card and hovered in the air.
But at this moment, Rhode was dumbstruck. He slowly took the card and carefully confirmed it. Then, he shook his head. Celia was Celestina’s younger sister? Holy Spirit, wasn’t this joke a little too much?
For the first time, Rhode felt like his worldview had somehow gotten distorted.
