Forced to Sell Myself to the Female Lead After Killing the Male Lead

Chapter 36: Chapter 36

"Wow, what a beautiful girl!"

Lapplo, who had finally caught up with his companion, couldn't help but be amazed when he saw the unknown black-haired girl. A certain indescribable desire began to burn in his heart like a raging fire, and in an instant, it turned into a wildfire.

Lapplo, who was already fond of women, found his desires amplified when he met the girl's eyes, which were as red as blood.

His strong desires began to swallow his reason, causing Lapplo and his fellow slave traders to overlook some visible anomalies.

All they could think of was capturing the black-haired girl and selling her at a high price in the black market.

Before that, they could play with her a little, right?

'Hehehe, pretty girl~'

Of course, they needed to be careful not to accidentally kill her, as they did with those previous elf girls.

This girl was so beautiful, but she also seemed very fragile.

'I need to be careful with my strength, hehe~'

Lapplo couldn't help but show a lewd smile, putting away his firearm. After all, he believed that there was no need for weapons to deal with such a defenseless girl.

However, just as Lapplo was about to make a move, a blood-red butterfly with a red glow suddenly appeared in front of him, causing him to be taken aback.

He stared at the butterfly in confusion.

'??'

'What?'

'Why would there be a butterfly in the cold winter forest? And with such a color?'

Looking at the blood-red patterns and sheen on the butterfly, Lapplo felt a strong sense of discomfort. A cold sweat formed on his forehead. But his inner desires quickly overshadowed his uneasiness.

Instead of worrying about the strange butterfly, Lapplo was more concerned with capturing the black-haired girl.

"Get out of my way!"

Lapplo impatiently waved his hands, trying to drive away the bizarre butterfly.

However, as he waved his hand, the butterfly landed on the back of his right hand.

Seeing this, Lapplo furrowed his brows and instinctively tried to shake it off.

'Wait?! My hand?!'

But before he could move his arm, an indescribable, intense pain suddenly spread from the back of his hand to his brain, accompanied by an unparalleled sense of terror.

"Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah! My, my hand!"

In the next instant, large amounts of magic power, life force, and soul energy began to be absorbed by the blood butterfly.

Under Lapplo's horrified gaze, the skin that made contact with the blood butterfly rapidly withered away! In just a split second, his arm turned into a dry, withered branch!

Then, the energy from other parts of his body began to be uncontrollably absorbed by the blood butterfly as well.

Lapplo wanted to stop it, but he found himself completely paralyzed, unable to move at all.

He could only watch helplessly as his body continued to wither.

At this moment, all that remained in Lapplo's mind was unprecedented fear.

'Why, why is this happening to me?'

In the end, with a desperate cry, Lapplo's consciousness fell into the boundless darkness, and his body suddenly turned into a mummy, collapsing onto the snowy ground.

But he wasn't alone.

The slave traders who came into contact with the blood butterflies also had their energy taken away and died tragically in despair and pain. Only one person survived – the big brother of the slave traders, a high-ranking mercenary named Depro.

Even though he was a sixth-stage master, touching these blood butterflies would certainly result in his gruesome death!

At this moment, Depro noticed the black-haired girl not far away.

In an instant, Depro's horror turned into endless hatred.

He was astonished to discover that several blood-red butterflies were quietly fluttering around the girl, with a few even resting on her shoulders. Yet, the girl remained unharmed.

It was evident that this girl was controlling these butterflies!

"It's you! You witch! You killed my brothers! I will make you pay!"

Realizing this, Depro was undoubtedly enraged.

His long-time brothers were annihilated in such an inexplicable way! How could he bear this?!

After looking into the girl's crimson eyes, Depro's inner fury intensified.

"Combat skill - Thunder Tribulation Double Blades!"

A pale purple fighting energy suddenly erupted from his body, forming a solid armor of fighting energy.

At the same time, the energy enveloped his dual blades, making them emit a chilling, cold light.

"Die!"

Thunder and lightning surged as Depro transformed into a purple light, charging toward the black-haired girl with the momentum of a thunderbolt. His blade aimed straight for her neck!

However, just as Depro was anticipating the girl's decapitation, the long-immobile black-haired girl tilted her head to the right. Her crimson eyes seemed to display a hint of curiosity.

'Curiosity? What the hell?'

Noticing the girl's expression, Depro couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. However, before he could think further, the girl's palm suddenly enlarged in his view, moving at a speed that left him no time to react.

"Eh?!"

After a brief cry of surprise, the girl's delicate hand intimately collided with Depro's face.

"PA!!!"

With an unprecedented, earth-shattering slap, the raging thunder-attribute fighting AURA around Depro, as well as his fighting energy armor, instantly crumbled into nothingness.

Depro's head spun a full 360 degrees with a horrified expression before finally parting ways with his neck. His consciousness sank into an endless darkness.

In this manner, Depro's head flew off, while his powerless body collapsed in front of the black-haired girl.

--

"eeehhhh..."

Looking at the decapitated scar-faced man before her, the black-haired girl, our protagonist Yumo, was dumbfounded for a moment. She gazed at her right hand, which had just sent Depro's head flying, somewhat at a loss.

Yumo's brow twitched slightly.

Honestly, she wanted to keep the scar-faced man alive, as she needed to interrogate him for information. Seeing that he seemed quite powerful, Yumo intended to use a little force to knock him out and subdue him.

However, she didn't expect...

Glancing at the scattered head several hundred meters away, Yumo playfully and awkwardly stuck out her tongue.

'Ah, I may have used a bit too much force...'
