Chapter 1336: Scepter of Victory

Rhode’s words eventually moved the little Celestina to reconsider her decision. And she finally decided to challenge her two big sisters and gain the status and power she desired. Rhode was glad about the result and even snickered a little as soon as he discovered Celestina’s weakness.

That’s right, be it the arrogant missy, this seemingly naive little girl, or that SM queen in the sexy outfit, they all shared the demons’ most lethal weakness—the desire for power. It was apparent for the missy, but the little one was also the same. A demon’s characteristics were sinister, cunning, selfish, and full of desire for power. This was the most vividly embodied even in that little Celestina. But due to her age, it made her cunningness seem a little adorable. But despite that, its nature would never change.

Well, Celestina was still a demon, after all.

At that moment, Rhode hid in the corner, watching the little Celestina sneak back from the edge of the wall. The little one was also a somewhat straightforward person. As soon as she decided to deal with her two sisters, she took actions immediately and left her hiding place along with Rhode. She was afraid that they would capture, do terrible things to, or send Rhode away while she was gone. That was why she brought him along and went after her two sisters. After all, she was Celestina too, and held a certain degree of dominance in the mental world. However, she didn’t go straight to stir trouble with her two sisters, but took Rhode for a sneaky walk instead, before slipping away and returning to his side after a while.

“What have you been up to?”

Looking at the little Celestina who crawled up his arm with a grin as soon as she returned, Rhode inquired curiously. Although this little one was equally as dangerous as her two sisters, fortunately for him, after she tasted the sweetness he gave earlier, she was a little more attached to him than the others. Perhaps to her, Rhode was like a useful toy that could satisfy her and she just couldn’t put him down. It was also normal for a child to keep their favorite toy with him or her and not let go.

Upon hearing his question, the little Celestina winked proudly and spoke with a smile.

“I went to help my big sister who was locked up.”

“Help?”

“Yeah, my other big sister doesn’t like her, so I helped her unlock the cell door. Perhaps by now…”

Boom!

Before the little one finished her words, they heard a loud bang as if something was blown by a strong gust and shattered upon crashing onto the floor. Shortly after, Rhode heard the high-pitched laughter of the SM queen from nearby.

“Wahahaha! I never thought I’d be able to get out again! Hahaha, I’m not going to lose to you this time! I’ll show you who the real owner of this place is!”

Soon after, Rhode heard a whistling wind in the distance of the corridor that lasted for mere seconds, before vanishing entirely. Looking at this scene, he was bewildered. It was only when the little Celestina chuckled and tugged his hand that he returned to his senses. He lowered his head and couldn’t help but look at her with a somewhat complicated expression. As expected of Celestina. Even if this little one behaved innocently and purely, the evilness and cunningness of demons was deep-seated in her bones.

“Come with me, Rhode, we’re going to see a good show.”

The little Celestina had no idea what was going through his mind, or maybe she didn’t care in the slightest. She chortled, grabbed his hand, and turned into another intersection along the corridor. The little one reached out her hand and knocked on the wall. Soon after, a door appeared on it again. Then, she pushed the door open and led Rhode into what seemed to be another corridor.

During this period of following the little Celestina, Rhode became somewhat aware of her abilities. To put it bluntly, she was like a little mouse capable of digging holes anywhere and at any time. He witnessed more than once her fumbling with an otherwise empty wall, creating a door and proceeding to enter another corridor. Perhaps that was why she was able to get away for so long in the mental world without ever being discovered or caught by others. After all, with her abilities, it was apparently easy for her to avoid detection by the other two Celestinas. And it looked like this little one also had her own map radar. No matter how powerful a BOSS was, it couldn’t capture a target who could activate a map and teleport away anytime, could it?

Unlike before, this corridor wasn’t as pressurizing and gloomy as the ones he encountered. On the contrary, it looked like a suspension corridor built around a cliff. Through the open space on the left, Rhode clearly saw the opposite cliff, as well as scorching lava spewing down from above like a waterfall. The burning heat waves were somewhat suffocating.

“This way, Rhode.”

Carefully walking to the railing of the corridor, the little one peeked out, looked down, and seemed to notice something as she beckoned to Rhode with a smile. And when he saw her signal, he rushed to her side hurriedly and followed her gaze down the corridor. He witnessed two figures fighting each other at the bottom of the lava waterfall. Unsurprisingly, they were the missy and the SM queen.

At that moment, they lashed their whips at each other, battling above the pool of boiling lava. The demon who finally regained her freedom was undoubtedly in an uncontrolled excitement. She flourished the long whip in her hand continuously in a fierce attack at the enemy before her. Meanwhile, the missy was a real piece of work too. As Celestina’s ‘self-esteem’, she was more concerned about her nobility than anyone else, and as a superior being, her strength was naturally greater than most. The fact that she was able to dominate in Celestina’s mental world was an explanation to the problem itself.

Thus facing the demon’s attacks, the missy looked more than capable of handling them. Although the demon’s attacks were unceasing, it still wasn’t a problem for her. It wasn’t her first time fighting this demon either, so she was quite familiar with her fighting style. Right now, however, she didn’t seem all that relaxed. Instead, she sulked and looked stern. This wasn’t because of the demon’s attack, but rather, she realized that something was happening in her world that she wasn’t aware of. This worried her greatly. It first started with Rhode’s disappearance; she began to feel that something was wrong because this was her mental world and she was the owner of it. It could be said that there was no way for Rhode to leave his cell without her permission. But it was a fact that he had left, so that meant that someone had opened the door for him. But how was that possible? There was only Celestina and the demonic Celestina in this world. The latter was locked up by her, so it wasn’t possible for her to help Rhode escape.

But before the missy figured out the reason, she was stunned to find the demon escaping from her cell and even attacking her. It wasn’t shocking that the demon challenged her. Instead, what astonished her was… How did she escape from her cell? One had to know that when the missy locked up the demon back then, one was only allowed to enter but not leave. That was why Rhode was able to enter easily, but it was almost impossible for him to get out. But now, not only did the demon escape, but she also attacked again? Something must be wrong!

“Who let you out!”

At this thought, the missy couldn’t help but tremble. This was her mental world. It was imaginable how horrible she felt when she found out that something completely unexplainable happened in a place she was supposed to know everything about. It was like one who lived in a house for decades and suddenly realized that the house was haunted. Similarly, lingering fear struck her. However, in response to her question, the demonic Celestina laughed heartily, waved her hand, and flung out her whip, snapping at the prey before her again.

“How would I know?! But I’m sure she’s a nice person. Hahaha, how about it? Missy, I never thought you’d be here today! Who let me out? I won’t tell you even if I knew. If you want the answer, you need to defeat me first!”

“Hmph!”

In response to the demonic Celestina’s words, the missy turned grim, grunted, and flew across the air to elegantly dodge the attack. She stretched out her hands and soon, two long whips sprouted out of her sleeves, criss-crossing as they swept toward the demon. This time, the demon burst into laughter and turned around to evade the assault. But compared to the missy, she was obviously much weaker because she only had one long whip instead of two. Judging from that alone, one could also see that the missy’s presence was dominant in the mental world. The weapons in her hands were also the closest to the original Celestina’s. The demon, on the other hand, was more of a weakened version of Celestina and had no advantage over the missy at all.

“This doesn’t seem like it is going to end well.”

Looking down at the battle between them, Rhode couldn’t help mumbling under his breath. He pretended not to care as he swept a glance at the little Celestina who stood beside him. Judging from the battle, it was obvious that the demon was no match for the missy and it would only take a few more moments before she was defeated. Clearly, the battle wouldn’t end up in the draw and give the little one a chance for a quick bargain. That was why Rhode deliberately said those words and observed the little one’s expression. Sure enough, her face paled slightly after hearing his comment. But soon, a complacent smile appeared on her face.

“Don’t worry. Watch me, Rhode.”

After saying those words, the little one winked at him and jumped over the fence with a flip. Soon after, she expanded her wings and flew straight toward the two in battle. At the same time, she stretched her arms forward and along with this action, Rhode heard a whoosh. At the next moment, two black leather whips appeared in her tiny hands. Not only that, but two sharp, scythe-like blades also appeared at the tip of the whips. Just like that, the little one waved her hands abruptly and flung the two whips at the target in front of her.

The two who were focused in their fight weren’t expecting the interference of a third party in the slightest. Despite that, the missy handled the ambush better in comparison. She had already suspected that there was a high chance that another person was hiding in her mental world, which was why she was prepared for a surprising turn of events. Meanwhile, the demon was completely ignorant and hadn’t figured out the situation yet. Although all of them were essentially demons, she was obviously more of an instinctual being, which was why she sought revenge against the missy right after escaping the cell, pursuing a narrow gain while neglecting a greater danger.

Hence, facing the ambush of the little one, the two of them responded in different ways. The missy raised her hands and blocked the attack with a staggered swing of her whips. On the other hand, the demon’s situation wasn’t as favorable. Although she managed to react in time, she wasn’t able to escape the blade on the tip of the whip that struck her wing. Not only that, but the little one also tugged and ripped out the blade from the wing, leaving a deep gash. The demon let out an agonizing shriek to this grave injury and flew over to the other side hurriedly. In any case, she was still Celestina. Although she didn’t react to the ambush in time, she still turned around and deflected the subsequent attack in order to avoid further misfortune.

But even so, she was still badly hurt.

“Who are you?”

Upon seeing the little one that appeared out of nowhere, the missy put up a serious expression. She finally knew that in her mental world, there was actually someone who she didn’t recognize at all! This was a really tricky problem! And now, she ran out just like that…

Could she be…

“That’s right, I’m going to defeat you! I’m going to make this world mine! Big Sister, I’ve had enough of the days of hiding away from you! Now, it’s time for me to take control and own it all!”

In response to the missy’s question, the little one chuckled lightly and responded. Then, she flourished her whip at the former again. And upon witnessing her action, the missy snorted coldly and so, the battle evolved into a three-way scuffle.

At a glance, even though the missy was somewhat dangerous, Rhode, who had been observing the battle closely from above, was clearly aware that even if the little one and the demon joined forces, it was impossible for them to defeat the missy. Because the missy was Celestina’s core personality. Meanwhile, the demon was an existence of repressed instincts and the little one was a personality born from Celestina’s subconscious, where neither of them were supported by the core personality.

Celestina was strong in this regard, unlike Celia, who dilly-dallied and fought an inner battle in her mind each time, which explained why the little queen and giant were nurtured and stronger. On the other hand, there was no place for the other two personalities in Celestina’s mind, which explained their weaknesses. It was especially so for the little one. Although her abilities were strange and rather useful, it was a pity that she seemed more like an assassin in Rhode’s opinion. She would be decent in assassination, but in terms of going head-to-head with a fighter in a battle, she would undoubtedly be killed instantly.

That was precisely why Rhode encouraged the little Celestina to attack…

As Rhode pondered, the three-way battle below had begun. The little one wasn’t able to form a united front with the demon against the missy because her ambush caused the demon to be wary of her moves. On the other hand, the missy was apparently much calmer. Earlier on, she felt uneasy because she didn’t know who the other party was. But now that the truth had come to light, she was more relaxed in dealing with them. She waved the two long whips in her hands across the heat waves of the lava, launching a violent attack on the two of them.

In the face of her all-out assault, the little one and demon clearly sank into a tough battle. Taking on the terrifying long whips that almost struck them into the pool of lava below, they could only gnash their teeth and hold on bitterly as though they were up against a wild storm.

But unfortunately, they weren’t able to hold on for long.

Boom!

As expected, a few minutes later, with a loud bang, a huge explosion rumbled. Rhode witnessed the tumbling lava waves surging and splashing in all directions. A whistling hot wind brushed his cheeks, forcing him to close his eyes. And when he opened his eyes again, he saw the missy standing in front of him, while beside her were the silent little one, as well as the unconscious demon whose clothes were riddled with holes. Both of them were bound tightly by the leather whips of the missy and couldn’t budge at all.

“We meet again, Rhode… No, Master. As expected, you are still the same: despicable and shameless.”

Celestina looked at him and said.
