Pain.
Heart-wrenching pain.
At this moment, Hell felt as if her heart was about to be crushed.
And reality was not far off.
In the dim dungeon,
Hell curled up in pain, like a roasted shrimp.
And Death was squatting beside her.
Looking at her painful expression with a sickly face, the corners of Death’s mouth turned up slightly, revealing a strange smile.
And in her hand, she was tightly gripping an illusory heart.
【High-Tier Death Magic: Heart Mastery】
“Hahahaha, this expression is truly adorable.
It’s just a pity that after all this time, you still refuse to cry out. It’s a bit of a letdown.”
Saying that, she suddenly exerted force, and the heart in her hand deformed.
And Hell also felt a sharp pain, so intense that she almost fainted.
This madwoman.
Hell stared fixedly at the woman in front of her, her eyes filled with boundless rage.
Damn it, did she just meet the final boss before even leaving the Novice Village ?
Is this reasonable?

PS: Values in parentheses are original attributes, unaffected by trait bonuses.
A Magister, with 1 pink, 2 red, 2 gold, 1 purple, 1 white, and 2 black traits, possessing a total of 7 positive traits.
Could this thing truly be defeated by him, a mere junior magician?
It was true that Hell had a cheat, but he needed time to develop, right?
But she, on the other hand, didn't play fair, ambushing him, a little rookie.
Can't play, huh?
Don't you want to hear me scream? I won't let you have your way.
At this moment, Hell also hardened her resolve, gritting her teeth, and trying her best not to make a sound.
At the same time, she forced herself to calm down and search for a way to break free.
Currently, with the trait system as Hell's biggest trump card, her first thought was to find a solution through the trait system. So, enduring the severe pain, she carefully examined Death's traits.
【Death Dominator (Pink)】: A fragment of the Death Divinity, assisting the wielder in controlling the Law of Death and condensing a Divinity to ascend to demigod status. Grants immunity to Death, Soul, Disaster, and other attribute attacks belonging to the Death divine system (cannot be immune to divine power), and retaliates with 100 times the force.
【Death Witch (Red)】: Magic +200%, Charm +130. The fated daughter who stole the Divinity, her soul can bear the fragment of the Death Divinity, thus preventing her from being annihilated by the Divinity.
【King of the Undead (Red)】:
Wait, this is it, the soul being annihilated by the Divinity.
What would happen if she didn’t have this trait?
However, Hell had no idea how this soul would be annihilated, or how long it would take.
What if the time was too long? The other party could completely drag him down with her during that time.
Perhaps she could think of a better solution.
But the sharp pain from her heart reminded Hell that she had no more time to think.
She could only gamble.
There was only one chance, she had to be careful.
“What kind of undead do you think I should turn you into, a zombie?
No, zombies are a bit too smelly, and you don’t have enough talent to be a lich.
How about a blood kin? They heal quickly, so I can play with them without breaking them.
Rose, come in for a moment.”
Death clapped her hands, dispelling the illusory heart in her hand, and slowly stood up, supporting herself on her knees.
At the same time, her gaze unconsciously turned towards the door, as if waiting for someone to enter.
Good opportunity.
Seeing this, Hell’s eyes lit up.
Death’s Force was only 6, while his Force was 3. The difference between them was not great, only a mere 3 points in attributes.
As long as her movements were fast enough…
Without thinking, Hell grabbed Death’s calf.
However, just as she was about to activate trait plunder, she felt that the texture was wrong.
No, what kind of good person wears stockings as thick as thermal leggings?
The next moment, Death also reacted. Her heart fluttered when Hell grabbed her calf.
After all, with the enhancement of several black traits, her martial power was only equivalent to that of a strong adult man.
Previously, she thought Hell, this child, was not dangerous, so she unconsciously relaxed her guard.
However, Hell’s grab suddenly startled her awake.
Even if the opponent was just a child, they might possess some unknown means.
Although she didn't believe a 12-year-old child could counter-kill her, her cautious nature still made her attack Hell.
She raised her slender hand, and a jet-black energy orb was hurled down towards Hell, who was lying on the ground.
This was an unremarkable magic energy ball.
Used by her, a Magister, it wouldn't take Hell's life, but it was enough to seriously injure her.
On the other side, Hell had already sensed something was wrong after grabbing Death's calf.
She knew that Death had merely relaxed her guard earlier, not even casting a defensive spell on herself, which was why she was able to land a hit.
However, due to her sudden move, Death was now clearly on high alert.
If she didn't do something soon, facing the vigilant Death, she would no longer have a chance to touch her.
Therefore, Hell didn't hesitate at all. She fiercely bit down on Death's stocking-clad calf.
Didn't it say that as long as there was contact, it would count?
Then, a tooth's touch should also count, right?
Her still-sharp canine teeth easily pierced through the stocking, making contact with Death's calf.

【Unlimited Plunder Opportunity - 1】
【Death Witch (Red) successfully plundered.】
【Detected that the Traveler has an empty trait slot. Trait automatically installed.】
【Detected that… 】
Just as the trait plunder succeeded, Death's magic orb also hit Hell's abdomen.
With a bang,
Hell had no ability to resist. She was sent flying several meters by the blow, crashing heavily into the dungeon wall.
After a long while, Hell finally managed to prop up her small body with her hands, but a mouthful of blood uncontrollably spurted out of her.
“You truly are a disobedient little wildcat. It seems after I turn you into a blood kin, I’ll need to properly discipline you and let you know what…”
Death turned to look at Hell, her expression very unpleasant.
She, a Magister, was actually bitten by a novice who had just entered the extraordinary realm. Although there was an element of surprise attack, this was undoubtedly an insult to her, the Death Witch.
However, she hadn’t finished speaking,
A terrifying pressure suddenly erupted from within her body. Countless black mists, radiating ominousness and evil, surged wildly within her.
This vast Death qi, brought by the fragment of the Death Divinity, was her best cultivation resource when she had the bloodline suppression of the Death Witch. However, once she lost the Death Witch trait, the backlash finally came.
Her skin cracked inch by inch under the erosion of the Death qi, and countless streams of Death qi gushed out.
And her soul was gradually collapsing under the divine might of the Death Divinity fragment.
The last shred of her sanity made her glare at Hell, roaring furiously:
“Damn it, what did you do?”
At this moment, her radiance was gone. The Death qi swirling around her made her appear like a man-eating ghoul.
She roared and lunged at Hell, her hands tightly gripping Hell’s neck, as if she wanted to strangle Hell to Death.
However, the backlash brought by the fragment of the Death Divinity was far more severe than Hell had imagined.
In the blink of an eye, Death's body gradually began to age. Her once delicate skin became wrinkled, and the strength in her hands gripping Hell's neck slowly loosened.
“Go… die… you… you…”
Even so, Death used all her strength. She only wanted to strangle Hell in her hands.
If it weren't for her current state, which prevented her from using any magic, she would have wished to directly throw an instant-Death spell at Hell's face.
However, how could the backlash of a Divinity be so simple?
As Death grew older and older, her body also began to disintegrate inch by inch. Strands of slightly withered pink hair fell, turning into dust before even reaching the ground.
However, Death could not stop anything. She could only watch helplessly as her entire being, from outside to inside, from bottom to top, slowly turned into dust.
