《Empress' Evolution》49. Vulture
Advertisement
Cert's dead body sprawled onto the ground his lower end gaping as its flesh grounded to mince by the sadistic Lilith. As she heaved a sigh.
'Ahh, what a nice day this is.' She felt good about violating the pride of a man she didn't even know. She stretched her back and wiped her sweat after using too much MP.
'Summoning Vines and Thorns is still more exhausting than manipulating nature directly. Lilith sighed. She now had 700 MAG stats. Her current stats are oddly filled out as if it was trying to get the max stats of this form.
[Lilith Qurenara]
Tri Horn Apostle
STR: 117 + 83 = 200
DEF: 122 + 28 = 150
VIT: 500
AGT: 122 + 78 = 200
MAG: 487 + 213 = 700
PER: 142 + 58 = 200
Lilith's Mag had already reached 700 points, which is not surprising as she had been pouring her free points on MAG ever since she was a One Horn. Her MAG stats reaching 700 points is her reward.
The Tri Horn Apostle was not a natural evolution process but a variant of a variant.
It's an evolution inception.
Lilith was growing stronger, and it was not only her stats but also her attributes and skills.
Attribute: Blaze (A), Storm (A), Greater Earth (A), Nature Creation (SS), Solar (A)
Passive Skills: Strong Vitality (A), Mana Manipulation (A), Spell Casting (A), Penta Elementalist (S), Blaze Manipulation (A), Storm Manipulation (A), Greater Earth Manipulation (A), Nature Creatopm Manipulation (SS), Nature's Blessing (S), Solar Manipulation (A)
Active Skills: Blaze Blitz (400 MP) (A), StormShield (200 MP) (D), Steal (500 MP) (A), Titan Weight (1000 MP) (A), Greater Earth Wall (700 MP) (A), Thorn Whip (600 MP) (S), Nature's Beauty (100,000 MP) (SSS), Earth's Grace (500 MP) (A), Solar Healing (1500 MP) (A)
This was just her Tri Horn Apostle form alone, and if the idea of her stats being imbalanced, it doesn't matter because her efforts were bearing fruit.

Tribulation Leopard
STR: 183 + 217 = 400
DEF: 93 + 107 = 200
VIT: 500
AGT: 223 + 277 = 500
MAG: 143 + 57 = 200
PER: 98 + 102 = 200
Cursed Purgatory Dragon
STR: 103 + 47 = 150
DEF: 333 + 267 = 600
VIT: 500
AGT:129 + 71 = 200
MAG: 164 + 36 = 200
PER: 139 + 61 = 200
Just like the Tri Horn Apostle, every other form has its own specialty. The Tri Horn Apostle specializes in magic, the Tribulation Leopard in physical ability, and the Cursed Purgatory Dragon its defense.
Back then, Lilith couldn't hold her head high in front of her followers, but now, things have changed.
She was the leader but her followers are more terrifying than her, she's the support while the other two are her spearhead.
The other controls death, while the other controls space. Those two have an even better and more exciting backstory than her. The other has a complicated revenge story while the other Lilith was too mysterious to make out. It was a mess in terms of who's more fitting to be the leader. But like always, one could only sigh at such a thing and live one's own life instead of getting envious of others.
She wants them to grow stronger, and she knows they will surpass her soon enough, but, Lilith wish that her pride as a leader will be spared once that happens. She's currently standing on the top of their hierarchy, but, if there's a chance that it will be flipped.
'Well, those things would happen sooner or later. We'll see how it turns out.'
She's growing stronger by the day, and when the time comes when she marches to the mainland of human society, and take her own revenge, Lilith would have achieved her goals.
'Oh hey, I also have a revenge story. And considering how Dhampy shows signs of being a human before this…' Lilith realized that even her own so-called unique characteristics overlap with her followers.

They mirrored one another.
As Lilith lamented the beauty of her character in the world of daemons, Eve's reverence echoed inside the cave.
"He talked real clearly, after what you did Priestess, what is that called?"
Lilith turned to Eve and in a serious expression, she spoke.
"It's called the Fifth Base. It's the fifth-tier of my nine-tiered interrogation techniques!"
"You mean to say there's something even more amazing than the Fifth Base?"
"Yes, the sixth tier, for men it is known as the Purger and for the women, it is the Crawler."
"It's even designated by gender? How amazing."
Lilith talked some more and Eve was in awe of her prowess of interrogation. Eve was impressed, as she should be.
Lilith walked away from the unnamed cave with valuable information at hand. She shook her head and stopped thinking about her current social status and began looking at the big picture.
According to the Continental Hunter who was really cooperative in giving out information, Lilith managed to extract most of the Hunter Association's Agenda and secrets.
There were three things he mentioned that attracted Lilith's attention.
First: find a Vampire-Lord named Ecrastia.
Second: find the lost hunter Kristina.
Third: take over the Forest of Beast, to get to the unclaimed middle-section.
What's in the middle section? Lilith doesn't know.
'In the end, their agendas boil down to finding something one way or the other. They could've just headed to the middle-section, without warring with the other daemons but they chose to build a base on the Neutral Area of Section 6 and Section 7.
'This could only mean two things, either there's something in the Neutral Area or they are preparing for something huge that needs the death of all daemons.'
However, Lilith does not know their whole plan yet so, she chose to focus on the conquest of the Hunters.
Thankfully, she now had a way to fight them.
In her hands was a Hunter Network Phone or otherwise known as HNP.
It's an impressive piece of technology able to connect directly to the Hunter Association's database and considering Cert was a member of the operation, he obviously received information from them.
In simpler terms, Lilith had the ability to spy on them without having to send a single personnel.
At the moment, Section 8 that was beside Section 4 was the next in line to be destroyed.
Lilith laughed as she turned to Eve.
"Eve, go with Chief and half of the Epic-tiers to the Neutral Area of Section 8 and 4. There should be daemons wanting to seek refuge."
Eve nodded her head.
"What about you Priestess, are you going somewhere?"
"Yes, I'm going to create the strongest army in this Forest."
Lilith transformed into a Tribulation Leopard and disappeared into the night. She already had the ability to spy on her enemies, planning would come for later, her main problem lies in forming an even stronger force.
However, she would not use that force to save the Forest of Beast, oh no, her plan was not to be a magnificent war hero but to become a scavenger.
She plans on letting the humans take over everything other than her territory, letting them spread while taking care of the other daemons.
In short, borrowing the blade of her enemy to slay her competition to domination.
'Let them kill each other.'
Lilith was not a fair ruler; she was the ruler of the underworld and this is how the poisonous snake of the underworld fights — she fights by poisoning others before swooping in to reap all the benefits like a vulture.

Domain of Man
Isolation is terrible. To feel isolated with your fellow man around you is worse. What if you were dumped in some backwards cave somewhere, completely nude, maybe with your family, or even completely alone? The age of pioneers, heroes, generals, and geniuses is long gone. Humankind has become numb to the world around it because of how paltry everything else is compared to the glory of its history, the sheer volume of their accomplishments, and the sum of its innovations. You can interact with people across the world, travel miles in mere hours, and never prepare your own food or shelter, and it's all accessible to even the normalest of individuals. Artificial intelligence is within arms reach in devices and computers and even houses, and neural interfaces aren't exclusive to the rich and powerful at this point. Someone far in the distance took notice of Earth, saw the multitude of hairless apes swarming its surface. That one went down the checklist to see if humanity had, in fact, beaten the 'game' of Life. Sure enough, they had gone above and beyond the requirements, but nobody had been watching. 'Why might that be?', that one wondered. Protocol was protocol, though, no matter how strange the situation was. They pulled the lever, they flipped the switch. It's time for New Game +. ???

Thief of Time
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Book 1: The Legend of Tot Synopsis: Claud Primus, a self-declared master thief, has a simple goal. To live forever. It's a rather easy task, for miraculous objects called lifestones are able to extend one's lifespan. These lifestones are best found in the treasuries of nobles, lovely resorts that Claud pays a visit to every so often. Unfortunately, one of those nightly visits go awry, and Claud is forced to escape with just a single lifestone and a box in hand. Normally, that's when things die down. The guards yawn, the gates close, and the night continues. But this time, the night isn't that forgiving. A dozen schemes result in the murder of someone important, and with a convenient scapegoat — Claud — at hand, it doesn't take long for him to be framed as a heinous criminal, wanted for the indirect murder of someone high up...and it just gets worse from there. Book 2: The Moon Lords' Rise Synopsis: As ordered chaos sweeps across Licencia, Claud leaves for Julan Barony, intent on making some profits there. Accompanied by the erstwhile heiress of Julan, a fellow member of the Moon Lords, the two plot against the barony's wealth...as well as a promise to bring about its downfall. Meanwhile, back home, the Moon Lords have busied themselves with digesting their gains. Eyes, however, are beginning to turn to this proverbial fish in a small pond. The fishermen are coming. When they cast their hook, what will Dia and the others do? Book 3: Murders under the Moons Synopsis: In the sleepy town of Nachtville, where Claud and Lily are forced to stop at, a set of nasty murders occurs. Victims scream out in fright, before a spear falls from the sky to end their suffering. Cowed and cautious, the master thief and his partner slink in the shadows, their objective that of home... A new task, however, has fallen on Dia. With a trusty helper at her side, she has to set off towards Nachtville itself, to solve the mystery Claud had abandoned. Faced with an enemy whose sole skillset is geared towards killing, how will they succeed? And what dark secrets will they find? Book 4: In the Dark of the Moons Synopsis: The year has ended. The four months of the full moons will soon be followed by two months of the new moons. Duke Istrel's ascension is around the corner. Amidst this political upheaval, Count Nightfall, Licencia's strongest defender, has been called away. The Moon Lords' largest task yet — to protect Licencia in the absence of its ruler — has begun. And yet, trouble is unrelenting. A distinguished personage, one that Claud fears, has been found dead in the county, his brains dug out and his body disemboweled. The inquisitors of the White Church have been dispatched to investigate and apprehend the murderer...as well as the person behind this puppet. Tormented by a call to fight, Claud directs his eyes out of the city, looking for the puppetmaster. Skulking in the shadows, the master thief will soon confront his greatest foe yet. A foe just like him. Book 5: Moonlit Tides and Darkened Seas Synopsis: A new era has begun. For the privileged, the sands of time dribble away for every passing moment, counting down to the arrival of a entity of mythical proportions. The night now harbours shadows and fog, and operatives of the Moons and the Dark clash in shadow. Claud, as usual, is investigating a spate of nasty disappearances in the city, but little does he know what these disappearances truly mean. And yet, a tide is coming. When it finally breaks, what will he do? Book 6: Secrets in Shadow Synopsis: The person behind a strike that would enter the annals of history flees his home, bringing with him the person closest to his heart into a new land and into a new world. Having left Istrel for the first time in his life, the two of them attempt to settle down in foreign lands, only to be caught in the middle of hostilities between two mighty powers grappling for dominion. Yet, none of that has anything to do with him. Following his desires, Claud eventually makes his way to the fabled Celestia Ruins, a fragment of another world. Bearing witness to truths he cannot yet comprehend, he returns from his exploration, a small break away from the machinations of destiny. One thing, however, is for certain. Destiny will not wait for him. Book 7: Reddest Rage Synopsis: Destiny churns on, heedless of mortal machinations, and Claud watches as the battlegrounds between the Moons and the Dark are drawn up. With the forces of the great Dark occupying Lostfon, Claud comes to a startling realisation — that he may have very well be a murderer of heinous proportions. Grappling with that realisation, he struggles to prepare for his Second Tutorial... Back in Istrel, Dia finds herself confronted with a perennial truth. Even in a time of writhing destiny, the machinations between nobles never cease to end — and unfortunately for her, the group once known as the Moon Lords are forced into dealing with a petty squabble between two counts. What they didn't account for, however, was the startling discovery they would soon make... And the shadow of the Red God's Holy Son behind it all. Book 8: Darkness Descends Synopsis: Nightmares haunt the horizon as Claud sinks and awakens from a seeming dream. What was once illusory begins to play out before him, in a way he cannot imagine. Dia, forced to wield arms, begins and ends a battle that opens her eyes to the vast dangers that lurk in this sundered world. Under the banner of humanity and divinity, she beholds the silent, forgotten protectors of Orb...but there is no forgetting the battle between the divinities. The Dark descends, the Moons writhe, and the horns of war blow once more. But this is not their battle. Not yet. Book 9: Moons Muster Synopsis: As more and more events fall into place, Claud finds himself desperate. Not for himself, but for the person who has turned into his world. Armed with the knowledge of a certain future, he approaches the only person that could possibly help him in his time of need, trading information for a promise of help. With that as solace, he returns to the grim task of understanding and seeking, revisiting an ancient, shattered fragment of another world...unleashing changes that he never knew was possible. Back in Istrel, Dia and the others must now navigate around a familiar spirit, who seeks to investigate the death of his master's Bearer. With them as prime suspects, the Seekers of Life must move carefully...but the Coloured Gods are not the only divinities eyeing them closely. The Moons, bristling from repeated defeats, are looking for new recruits, and the Seekers of Life are prime cannon fodder. Above all, destiny marches on, the unfeeling clock a warning to all. The Trial of Aeons will soon arrive. Book 10: Destiny Divine Synopsis: ??? Release frequency: one every few days or something, I guess. (This work is also being serialised on Webnovel under the name Revile as a trial run)
