Two Lolis, Double the Torment 5/5

Woof... woof...

Just as Samael was lost in thought, a series of mournful cries came from the depths of the dense forest. The familiar tone of the cries made his expression change.

Cerberus!

The ancient serpent suddenly stood up and moved swiftly. When it reached the source of the sound, the majestic Cerberus was lying on the ground, foaming at the mouth and occasionally kicking and twitching.

Behind the massive, mountain-like body, a petite figure crouched at Cerberus's neck, forcefully pulling out a tuft of hair with both hands, carefully tying it with a straw rope, and placing it beside him.

Then, driven by boundless curiosity, the little one continued to rummage around the head of Cerberus, leaving behind a trail of misdeeds.

She would either lift the monster's eyelids to compare the differences between its six pupils, or pull up Cerberus and tap its teeth with a stone to test their hardness.

Whenever the trembling of the Cerberus gradually subsided, and it began to claw and thrash at the ground with its four paws, the little one would skillfully pull out something that looked like a thin needle and pierce the guard dog's neck in three places, one after the other.

As a result, the unfortunate fellow, who had just shown signs of recovery, immediately became paralyzed again, whimpering and wailing.

When Cerberus saw the familiar silhouette appear diagonally behind him, he thrashed about violently like a drowning man grasping at a straw, his eyes brimming with tears.

Samael, his face as black as the bottom of a pot, strode over menacingly and kicked the stupid dog in the rear. He unleashed his divine power, instantly dispelling the trace amounts of toxins trapped within the dog's body.

As his senses returned, Cerberus hurriedly jumped up, tucked his tail between his legs, and hid behind the ancient serpent, looking in horror at the little devil that had been tormenting him.

"Get lost! Look at you, so pathetic. I asked you to take care of her, and she took you down? What a waste of the name 'Hell Three-Headed Cerberus'!"

The ancient serpent glanced behind it at Cerberus, who was like a frightened bird, snorted coldly, and waved its hand, telling this disgraceful thing to get lost as soon as possible.

Cerberus, feeling as if granted a pardon, immediately turned around with a beaming smile and ran towards the Arima's Cave as if fleeing for its life.

After chasing away the increasingly degrading and stupid dog, Samael walked over with a sinister look in his eyes, coldly snorting and beckoning forward.

"Athena, you've been caught!"

"Hand over your hidden treasures!"

She had short silver hair, was about 60-70 centimeters tall, had delicate features, and a pointed chin. She was a little girl who took small, unsteady steps and obediently put the things in Samael's hands.

The ancient snake looked down at the group of dogs bound with straw rope, and its face darkened.

"No! This is dangerous!"

"Oh..."

The silver-haired loli responded in a childlike voice, handing over the sharp stone and two jet-black, sharp scales in turn, then stood to one side with her hands behind her back.

"Anything else?"

Samael narrowed his eyes and gazed intently at the Goddess of Wisdom.

"It's gone..."

Having just learned to speak fluently, and still with a slightly childish voice, Athena widened her pure purple eyes and innocently shook her head.

"Hands out!"

"Where's the other one?!"

"I meant both of them together!"

"Don't hold it up vertically! Are you trying to Magecraft on me?! Straighten it out! Flatten it out!"

However, under Samael's keen gaze, the evil had nowhere to hide. The criminal finally obediently spread his hands, helplessly revealing the exquisite stone bottle hidden behind his small hands.

The ancient snake snatched the stone bottle, pulled out the poison needle that was attached to the bottle cap, and sniffed the liquid inside. It felt its blood pressure rise instantly.

"Hydra venom? Such a dangerous stuff, you dared to use it on that stupid dog?"

"Little Nine has nine heads, and its venom isn't all lethal. I even diluted this venom to paralyze it. Besides, they grew up together and fight several times a day; biting each other is common. This dosage should be enough to withstand it..."

"You've ruined the Hydra too?"

"No, she moved to give me a handkerchief."

Athena's face tightened, and she spoke with conviction, her demeanor revealing a hint of righteous indignation and a sense of justice.

"That stupid dog only knows how to bully girls. I'm just standing up for my friend and fighting against injustice!"

Then, the little girl didn't forget to look up and give someone a disdainful glance, the meaning of which was self-evident.

He was called "Samael" to his face, and he touched his nose guiltily, his expression slightly embarrassed.

To keep his promise, he actually teamed Cerberus and beat up the Hydra.

The problem was, only later did he realize that Hydra was actually a female...

Damn it, beating someone up so badly, and then groping them all the time, it really seems a bit too much...

Samael, who still had some integrity, beat up the stupid dog again and then stopped paying attention to the daily squabbles between the two monsters.

Well, at least it's acceptable in form, and he's just trying to put his mind at ease.

I just didn't expect snakes to be so vengeful. They beat me up three months ago, and the Hydra still remembers it.

Even more shockingly, that "girl" secretly recruited Athena as an ally, using the opportunity of a certain silly dog taking care of Athena to provide poison and knock out the enemy.

Okay, the truth is out... out my ass!

The embarrassment on the ancient snake's face vanished, and with a dark expression, he tapped Athena's head repeatedly with his fingers.

"You're innocent, aren't you? Huh?"

"She can't even speak properly, yet she can teach you how to dilute venom! She can incite you to take Cerberus!"

"Standing up for girls? Resisting injustice?"

"I don't think you're having a good time petting that silly dog!"

"You exploited the conflict between the two, instigated Hydra to give you venom, hoard contraband, and experiment on Cerberus. When things came to light, you turned around and blamed the three of us for everything. You're something else, Athena!"

With each sentence Samael spoke, he would flick Athena's head hard with his finger.

How could this immature Goddess of Wisdom possibly hide her little schemes in front of a cunning and treacherous Serpent of Original Sin? Naturally, she was given a good lesson.

Little Athena, clutching her dazed and numb head, squatted on the ground drawing circles, while Samael sneered and read out the judgment.

"Go apologize to Cerberus first, then write a two-thousand-word statement of the crime and a self-criticism!"

The Goddess of Wisdom's face immediately fell, and she raised her head defiantly, opening her mouth as if to argue.

As the leaves rustled, a figure emerged from near the cave, and Athena's expression immediately changed.

The little girl tilted her head back, revealing a sweet and innocent smile, and hugged Samael's arm tightly in a coquettish manner, nuzzling him affectionately.

"Samael, it's a promise. I'll be a good boy and you have to put me to bed tonight. No cheating!"

At this moment, a fair-skinned hand parted the branches that concealed the dragon, revealing a small figure with purple hair and eyes, dragging a snake tail. The figure looked at this warm and harmonious scene with a sinister gaze and spoke softly.

"Why are you making such a fuss here? Don't you find it disgusting?"

"At least I have this right, which is better than some people who, despite having no connection, insist on pestering me."

Athena, holding Samael's arm, smiled slightly, her tone sharp and confrontational.

Suddenly, the two lolis, one in purple and one in white, met eyes, snorted coldly and glared angrily, and the atmosphere became tense.

Samael, sandwiched in the middle, felt the chilly winds blowing from both sides and suddenly felt a headache coming on.

These two are truly natural enemies.
