MMORPG: Rebirth as an Alchemist

Chapter 896  Unleashed Fury and Reclaimed Light   

         Lorelei's shadow appeared visibly annoyed and panicked at Azazel weird behavior. She was caught off guard by Azazel's sudden advance. She struggled to react, her movements sluggish and uncoordinated as Azazel closed the distance between them.

With a reckless disregard for anything else, Azazel landed directly on Lorelai's face, his momentum carrying him forward until their lips met for the second time.

The kiss, though unexpected and awkward, lingered for a brief moment, sending shockwaves of disbelief through the room.

Ren and the others exchanged incredulous glances, unable to comprehend the absurdity of the situation. It was as if time had frozen, and they were all caught in a surreal moment of it.

W-wha . . . what just happened.

But as quickly as it had begun, the moment passed, and reality came crashing back with a jolt.

The chamber erupted into chaos once more as Ren and the others scrambled to make sense of what had just transpired.

Lorelei's shadow, now even more agitated, recoiled from Azazel's bold gesture, a mix of irritation and confusion evident in its movements.

Meanwhile, Azazel lay sprawled on the ground, his face flushed with embarrassment but also a hint of satisfaction.

He was still clearly in love, courtesy to the 'strange' potion of course.

The others hesitated, unsure of how to react to the unexpected turn of events.

Lorelai's usually composed facade crumbled in an instant as she rubbed her lips, her eyes widening in shock, the first time since her transformation into a doll-like state. She let out a thunderous voice that boomed from her mouth, filled with raw emotion.

"You fucking demon! I will kill you!"

The glass containing her shadow cracked under the force of her fury, causing Nyxos to recoil from the impact as it shattered.

Lorelai's shadow flew instinctively towards her owner, seeking her and finally becoming one with her once more.

The luster returned to Lorelai's eyes, but the memory of what happened was still fresh, the anger burning within her like an unquenchable flame.

"I will kill you!" she hissed through clenched teeth as she lunged towards Azazel, her movements fueled by a primal rage.

Rounds of kicks and slaps echoed through the hall as Lorelai's strong hands unleashed a brutal assault on Azazel's face, who didn't even tried to defend himself against her relentless onslaught.

Despite the bruises and lumps forming on his face, Azazel managed to grin through the pain. "You've returned to your normal self. I'm glad," he remarked, his voice tinged with relief.

To that, Lorelai blinked in surprise, her anger momentarily dissipating as she processed Azazel's words.

With a sudden change in demeanor, she released Azazel's battered body, uncaring if he had sustained any injuries in the process.

"Ah, right. I do feel like myself again," Lorelai muttered as she flexed her hands and feet, testing her restored self.

Then, turning her attention to Ren and the others, she raised her hand in greeting.

"Yo, everyone. You look like you could use some rest," she remarked casually, her voice now calm and composed as if the outburst of rage had never occurred.

"And whose fault is that?!" the others yelled in unison, their voices echoing through the chamber.

Lorelai chuckled softly, a hint of amusement dancing in her eyes. "Ah, sorry, sorry. I let myself get captured. But don't worry. Now that I'm back to my normal self, I will . . . ," Her voice trailed off, and her expression turned menacing, her features contorted with smoldering anger, ". . . rip that god's throat out and feed him to the pigs that he is! I will make sure he regrets ever kidnapping me and trapping my shadow in this glass!"

Ren and the others exchanged concerned glances, recognizing the lingering traces of Lorelai's demonic nature still present within her.

It seemed that not everything about her had returned to normal, but they were relieved to see that she could control it to some extent.

"This can't be!" Nyxos's voice thundered, his disbelief evident as he struggled to comprehend the situation. "You shouldn't be able to break free from that glass!"

Lorelai and the others turned to face him.

Lorelai met Nyxos's gaze with a smug smirk, her eyes gleaming with unbridled confidence. "The extreme emotions I felt from being kissed by that disgusting demon must have triggered it. Don't underestimate a woman's emotions; they could get you killed."

Azazel forced a laugh through gritted teeth, wincing in pain as he struggled to maintain his consciousness. "S-so . . . so brutal . . . but I like it in a woman. Ahahaha–urk!"

With a swift and decisive motion, Lorelai kicked him aside like a discarded rag doll, her movements fueled by a potent mix of anger and annoyance.

She then cracked her knuckles, the sound echoed ominously through the chamber, signaling the beginning of payback time.

Nyxos, sensing the shift in power dynamics, took a cautious step back, his face glistening with sweat. He knew all too well just how powerful Lorelai was, and the realization dawned on him that he could no longer trap her shadow. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The sweat trickling down his brow mirrored the beads of anxiety that formed in his mind. The concept of shadow entrapment was: it only worked once and could only be employed against a single creature.

Trying to ensnare Lorelai's shadow again would be futile, a fact that filled him with a sense of dread.

As Lorelai advanced, her eyes blazing with a fierce burning anger, Nyxos realized that he was facing an opponent unlike any other.

Despite his best efforts to control the situation, he found himself at the mercy of forces beyond his control.

Nyxos's fury turned towards Ren and the others. "This is all you fault! If you hadn't meddled in my affairs, I would have achieved greatness! A Paragon! Perish, you inferior creatures!"

Nyxos, fueled by his overwhelming rage, unleashed torrents of dark, swirling shadows. These shadows, dense and ominous, seemed to stretch and writhe like living entities, reaching hungrily towards Ren and the others with an insatiable thirst for destruction.
