The girl hung suspended by the neck in her grip, her chin tilted upward.
But at that moment...
Once she had processed that immense terror, there was no trace of submission in her eyes. Instead, they revealed an unyielding resolve and disgust.
She said nothing.
Her only answer to Lin En was a fist swung with all her might, slamming into his chest.
Thud-
There was no strength behind it.
She panted.
Or rather, under that tremendous backlash, she had long since lost the ability to resist him. Yet she still threw that punch without hesitation, refusing to yield.
Thud-thud-thud-
Her attacks on him grew increasingly frantic and desperate.
Like a little beast pinned down in despair, she knew how vast the gulf in strength and existential rank was between them, yet she still chose resistance over begging for mercy.
Lin En tilted his head and asked:
"Are you really not afraid to die?"
The girl stared at him with hatred in her eyes and spat out a single word.
"Monster!"
At that moment, Lin En finally understood why Salgon had described her as the type who would rather die than submit, and why he had said she was fundamentally different from the other chaotic Weirds in the Spirit Realm.
Even after learning that he was a being of transcendent rank from the Warp, she still dared to resist. That alone proved she was no ordinary vengeful spirit who would bow to power or the threat of death.
Lin En looked at her with a smile and said:
"I'm puzzled. Why not? You'd just have a master, after all. As long as you submit, I can promise you'll remain the lord here. Not only will I spare you, I'll even give you more resources and opportunities. So why keep resisting?
