Chapter 745 - Saving Her Cursed Lycan Prince

I would never allow myself to reveal my vulnerability in front of the enemy.

Crystal’s POV

Lee pinched my chin and let out a sinister laugh. You are a tough one, aren’t you? Well, then… Apologize to me now, and I just might give you a chance to repent before we move on to the last phase of the ceremony.

I sat in his face. “Fuck off, you vile thing! Stop pretending to be some messiah! How many innocent children have you slaughtered? If anyone must repent, it is you!”

He wiped the saliva off his mask and clicked his tongue. “I suppose you’re not wrong about that. But don’t you see? I bring joy to everyone. Young or old, big or small, they all have fun when they come to my amusement park, don’t they? As for those children, they simply sacrificed themselves for the greater good. They will definitely find great happiness in the afterlife.”

“You monster!” I cursed. “What kind of pretend happiness are you spouting about? If you’re so obsessed with it, then just bask in it yourself! Don’t rope innocent lives into your delusions. Mark my words, you and your damn amusement park will bum to ashes sooner or later!”

Lee chuckled as he let go of my face. He took a step back, spread his arms wide open, and inhaled deeply. Then, without warning, he lunged forward and grabbed my neck again. “What do you know, you little bitch? I’m just saving those worthless misers who shouldn’t have existed in the first place. Their bodies are either incomplete or mutilated. They have no place in this world. They should be thanking me for at least giving their short lives a purpose.”

I felt a throbbing in my temples. Lee’s words were nothing but nonsense, but it was clear just how faithful he was to his false beliefs. A demon believing himself to be a savior… No.

He just relished in wielding power over other people’s lives. That was it, plain and simple. The realization calmed me down, if only a little. “You claim to have saved them, yet you are the reason why they were mutilated. If not for you, they wouldn’t have lost their limbs! If not for you, they would have carried on to live happy lives.”

“Happy lives? Are you shitting me? This world is just another kind of hell, and living is just another form of torture. They’re better off suffering briefly and leaving the world for good.” Lee reached out and made to caress my face, but I turned my head to avoid his vile touch.

He laughed at my reaction, but he did pull back. “What a pity. You, my dear, are beyond any hope of salvation. I have no choice but to destroy you.”

I continued to glare al him and said nothing. Lee padded over to the tub and dunked his hands into its contents, and then proceeded to wash his hands with the blood. “You’re incorrigible, but I do admire your courage. So, I will give you one last chance. No one has ever dared to talk back to me like this, you know.” With that, he let out another maniacal laugh, much louder this time.

I tried to keep a blank expression as I summoned every ounce of power in my body. But my temperature had been dropping in the past few minutes. I needed to gain control of my body as soon as possible.

Much to my dismay, I couldn’t tap into my powers at all-neither the lycan one nor that of the black witch.

I was getting more and more anxious. I needed my powers in order to break out of here!

“Now, I shall carry on with the ceremony to cleanse your mind before you join us completely. As for your little tirade just now, I will be magnanimous and let them slide.”

As Lee said this, he lifted the lower part of his mask. Almost immediately, his scent rushed out from behind the mask’s protection and permeated the air in the room.

Two sharp fangs peeked out of his upper lip.

I heard myself gasp. “You’re a vampire!”

Crystal’s POV

I hadn’t expected this development. But considering what he had done to me so far, I quickly understood what he was about to do next.

“Fuck off, you damn vampire!”

I struggled desperately against my binds, but they only seemed to tighten even more around my wrist. I soon felt a stinging pain, and I knew that I had cut my skin.

Lee grabbed me by the jaw and tilted my head to the side, exposing my neck. “Stay still, now. I promise, you will like this.”

Tears were streaming down my cheeks. I hated feeling trapped and helpless. I would have preferred dying in a fight.

Rather than be turned into a vampire, I’d rather die an immediate death.

Lee paused to take in my miserable expression, his lips stretching out in a satisfied smile. “The more pain you experience now, the more joy you will feel later. Don’t worry, I don’t expect gratitude from you. You werewolves are a savage lot. It’s much, much better to be a vampire. Class and elegance are imprinted into our genes.”

“Class, my ass! You’re despicable monsters who only know how to take advantage of those who are weaker than you! I refused to be reduced to such an unprincipled creature! Just kill me right here and now! If you even have the guts to do so, that is.” I was getting hysterical, and my body was on fire. Every muscle in my body was throbbing with pain.

“You want to die so badly?” Lee sneered. “No, I’m not letting you. You will pay for your insolence, and I know just the right punishment for you.”

In the next second, he sank his fangs into my neck.

The metallic smell of blood filled the air as the red liquid spilled out from the punctures in my skin.

I couldn’t help but scream. The pain overrode my reason, but it was momentarily. Soon, it was replaced by a surging wave of pleasure. I felt like I was high up in the air, floating in ecstasy. It was so much more bliss than I could handle that I burst into another bout of tears.

I felt an overwhelming desire to feed Lee until I was spent, to offer every last drop of my blood to him.

But the joy soon gave way to emptiness. It was as though I had been suddenly thrust into a dark void. I stared blankly at the roof, unable to form a coherent thought.

I no longer cared who I was, where I was… what kind of situation I was in.

I felt my body temperature drop. Perhaps death was upon me.

After what felt like an eternity, Lee finally stopped. My eyes started to focus, and my mind gradually became mine again.

Lee lovingly stroked the wounds in my neck and smirked. “See? Didn’t you enjoy that? I told you that you would love it. You will become my blood slave. You will completely surrender yourself to my control, and you will answer my every beck and call.”

I felt like time was moving in slow motion, like I was wading through thick mud. I could barely make sense of what he was saying.

Lee licked the smudge of blood on his lips. “It’s delicious, by the way. It’s a real pity that I can’t suck you dry. I’ll have to take care of you if I want you to serve me for a long time.”

I was grasping for something in my mind, anything, really, that would give me back my sense of self. As soon as I did, the symbol he had drawn on my skin burned.

I had no warning, I was unprepared.

I wailed mournfully and tried to curl into myself. I just wanted to drop to my knees and shut the world out.

“Relish the pain!” Lee thundered. “Enjoy this burning sensation! Use it to wash your filth, and you may enter the world of joy!” He spread his arms out wide and laughed maniacally.

I couldn’t even speak. The burning feeling coursed through my body, and I had the vague sense that my body was a living creature itself, separate from me. Then, the burning reached my heart.

The pain multiplied tenfold. But Lee didn’t seem content with this, because he began to chant another prayer. Whatever incantation he had cast, it gave me a splitting headache.

“Stop! Be silent! Stop speaking!” I screamed until my voice became hoarse.

Lee’s POV

I basked in the sight of the she-wolf wailing and thrashing in pain.
