“What… what do you… mean…” The princess quickly understood what Salina meant.
As the corruption deepened, that thing had already seeped into her Dao organs.
At first, it was just her skin all over that could feel that melting sensation, but now every single organ inside her was experiencing the same thing.
A flood of intense sensations hit the princess’s brain all at once, her eyes flying wide open, pupils shrinking.
“My stomach… inside me… it’s melting.”
Her outside was melting, and now her insides were starting to become part of the darkness too.
The princess established a link with these evil substances, and she could feel everything about them.
The darkness, fear, and evil she once hated had now become her own body.
“Ah, ahhhhhh!” The princess’s body started to tremble violently, her five fingers twisting and tensing, her eyes rolling back, drool running from her gaping mouth.
“I’m so jealous of you~ You get to enjoy this process slowly.
Too bad I was too weak back then, Master ate me up in one go, it was over before I even had a chance to feel it.”
Salina cupped her face, twisting her body as she spoke.
Then her expression changed, switching to another look.
Chen Xing’s consciousness entered this body through the link.
She wanted to see how far the princess had fallen.
From the looks of it, it seemed like it was almost over.
The black substance had already crawled up her neck, slowly wrapping around the princess’s twisted face.
Those beautiful eyes had long lost their clear pale blue, replaced by a murky black-purple.
“Oh! My brain, it’s… getting weird, something… is getting into my thoughts… my brain…” The black substance crawling up her face had already burrowed into the princess’s ears and nose, entering her brain.
Once this organ that controlled her thoughts was assimilated, the princess would never be able to turn back.
The brain doesn’t feel pain, but it has the richest nerves.
When every single nerve was dissolved and assimilated into that black substance, the intense tremors left the princess completely unable to think, her mind going blank.
“My brain… it’s breaking… it’s breaking,” And because her brain’s nerves were being attacked, the princess’s tongue stuck out uncontrollably, her body suddenly going rigid like she’d been electrocuted, arching backward into a bow shape.
With her brain dissolved by darkness, her human consciousness destroyed, her thoughts could no longer hold together.
Human morals, her old wishes, the person she cared about—all of it was left behind, none of it mattered anymore.
She was already shaped by darkness, and only one thought remained in her mind: the master of darkness was her everything! She had to become a slave to darkness and serve her master.
“So, princess, are you ready to become a slave to darkness?”
“I… I want to become a slave to darkness.
Fill me with darkness, hurry, fill every part of me with darkness.”
The princess couldn’t resist the darkness anymore.
The moment she gave up fighting, the dark substance completely wrapped her up.
The last thing left exposed, her eyes, were covered by darkness.
As her vision lost all light, the princess’s last bit of consciousness quietly said, “Sorry, sister… your little sister can’t go back anymore.”
Darkness and the princess became one.
Every inch of her flesh was assimilated by darkness, turning into a part of evil.
Now she looked like a black human-shaped mannequin, her whole body unnaturally smooth and delicate, like a newborn’s skin.
From the beginning until now, the princess had resisted for almost three hours.
If she hadn’t used magic to fight Salina, maybe she could have lasted even longer.
This also served as a reminder for Chen Xing: people around level fifty like the princess really could resist direct corruption and wouldn’t melt right away, but as long as they were tainted by darkness and enough time passed, they’d still fall in the end.
“Mm, not bad.”
Chen Xing nodded in satisfaction.
In her vision, the black layer on the princess slowly faded, writhing and transforming into a pitch-black princess gown.
Her long hair was still that icy blue, but the princess’s eyes had turned a strange black-purple.
Chen Xing’s consciousness left Salina’s body.
After taking back control, Salina stepped forward and congratulated the princess.
“Congratulations on becoming one of the darkness.
From now on, we can serve our noble and holy master together.”
The princess didn’t answer Salina.
After slowly opening her eyes, she first looked at her own body.
She could feel every inch of herself filled with endless power—this was the strength brought by darkness.
“Hehehehe, hahahahaha… this feeling is just wonderful~” The princess giggled foolishly.
Even though she’d been corrupted, she still kept that same silly, naive look as before.
“How does it feel to become one of the darkness?”
“I’ve never felt anything so wonderful, it’s like being reborn.
Now my mind is filled with nothing but Master, there’s no room for anything else.
Master~ ah, Master~”
As a slave to darkness, her thoughts were naturally occupied by her master.
The successfully corrupted princess was now linked to Chen Xing’s hive network.
Here, she could sense the presence of every dark slave—Salina, and Liti Xi… If allowed, they could even link and share the thoughts of other slaves, seeing what others saw.
After all, in a way, they were all the same kind of being.
Their bodies were all made from Chen Xing’s dark substance, only their souls still belonged to themselves, though they were already hopelessly tainted by darkness.
“Master doesn’t have many slaves, huh? As the noblest person, how can she allow so few people to serve her?” Sensing that there were only two other slaves besides herself, the princess was a bit surprised.
How could the master of darkness have so few slaves?
Back when she was a princess, she had dozens or even hundreds of servants.
“Don’t worry, this is just the beginning.
In the future, Master’s slaves will only grow in number.
Eventually, everyone in this world will become a slave to the master’s darkness.
Until then, we have to serve her well.”
“I know~”
“That’s good.
Did you feel what I sent you?”
“Yeah.” The princess nodded.
Through the witch’s hive network, Salina transmitted a part of her own consciousness to the princess.
After the princess accepted it, or rather, the memory, she received it.
It was the memory of black magic.
“You’re ice attribute, and after becoming Master’s slave, you also control the power of darkness.
So I’ve passed on all the black magic I know to you.
Just follow what I taught you, and from now on you’ll be able to use black magic.”
Salina had been a black mage of a cult before.
While her dark magic wasn’t as powerful as a witch’s, it was still pretty good.
She directly passed the spells to the princess, so she could master more magic as quickly as possible and become stronger, to better serve her master.
