LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 806: They Shall Tremble Before Me!
Villain Ch 806. They Shall Tremble Before Me!
Larissa's voice cut through the stillness. "But you got tempted by Allen and became the villain," she chirped, her words tinged with a playful yet knowing tone. She shrugged casually, as if the revelation held no weight. "Well, I would do the same thing if I were you," she added, her eyes dancing with mischief.
Allen turned his gaze toward the surroundings once more. The flickering torches cast eerie shadows on the stone walls, adding to the mystique of their underground environment. "So this place should be your palace?" he mused aloud, his voice echoing faintly in the chamber. Something about the atmosphere caught his attention, a sense of foreboding lurking beneath the surface.
"Or is this the place where they sacrificed you?" Allen guessed, his words carrying a hint of curiosity and concern.
"This place is my palace and where they sacrificed me," Jane declared, her tone carrying a mixture of defiance and resignation. With a swift gesture, she pointed towards a crude carving on the wall, the etchings telling a tale of betrayal and suffering. "Here," she continued, her voice steady despite the weight of her words. "They explain this here."
Stay tuned to My Virtual Library Empire
"In the past, they locked me here as a sacrifice," she revealed, her voice filled with the echoes of past injustices. "They intended to make me rot away, forgotten and alone."
"But after I received the contract from you," she continued, her voice rising with fervor, "I went crazy." A wave of emotion washed over her as she recounted her transformation from victim to victor, from prisoner to sovereign. "I spread all the curse to control this place," she declared, her words ringing with triumph. "And even spread to the forest."
"Then after all that happened, I ordered all the monsters to kill the people who sacrificed me and I turned this place into my palace," she concluded, her voice carrying a mixture of triumph and defiance.
Zoe couldn't help but cringe at the grin on Jane's face. "Why are you so happy about that?" she asked, her voice tinged with a frown of concern.
Jane's grin only widened in response, her eyes sparkling with a joy that bordered on the macabre. "Oh, that's because I feel cool about it," she said, her tone light and carefree despite the gravity of her actions. "I mean, it was a good backstory and it's so lovely."
Jane continued to speak. Her voice took on a dreamy quality, as if she were lost in her own fantasy. "Can you imagine it?" she said, her eyes alight with passion. "A holy priestess who ended up falling in love with a devil emperor?
When the world turned back against her, she gained her freedom and love from the emperor who was supposed to be her enemy." Her words were like poetry, weaving a tale of love and betrayal in the digital ether.
With a squeal of delight, Jane's thoughts seemed to spiral into a whirlwind of excitement. "Kyaaa~" she squeaked like a fangirl, her enthusiasm contagious. "So sweet," she declared, her voice filled with a sense of wonder.
Her excitement was palpable, her avatar practically vibrating with the thrill of revelation. "That's why the forest is always covered by fog," she explained, her voice resonating with a sense of purpose. "And has monsters roaming around." The pieces of the puzzle fell into place.
"Does this mean each one of us will get a backstory?" Vivian pondered aloud, her voice carrying a hint of excitement. "If they provide Jane's backstory, maybe they also provide something similar to us," she analyzed, her eyes scanning the dimly lit chamber for clues.
Shea nodded thoughtfully. "I think they haven't told us about this," she speculated. "But they might do it for the players," she guessed, her voice tinged with curiosity.
Alice, her gaze fixed on the cavernous expanse before them, couldn't help but voice her own thoughts. "Looking at the place, does it mean there will be an event happening here?" she questioned, her words ringing with certainty. "I mean, this place is clearly a boss room," she declared without hesitation, her excitement palpable.
Allen chimed in with his own theory. "Maybe," he mused, his eyes flickering with intrigue. Turning to face Jane, his expression serious, he voiced a daring hypothesis. "And the boss should be Jane," he guessed.
With a mischievous glint in her eyes, Jane's lips curled into a sly grin, the corners of her mouth tilting upwards with a confidence that bordered on arrogance. Without a moment's hesitation, she strode over to the imposing throne that dominated the chamber, her steps echoing loudly in the cavernous space.
Seating herself upon the throne with a regal air, Jane exuded an aura of authority that seemed to command the very air around her. Folding her legs with practiced ease, she settled into the seat of power, her posture exuding arrogance and pride.
"I can imagine how the players come to this place tired and look at me," she declared, her voice ringing out with a tone of superiority. "They shall tremble before me!" Her words dripped with arrogance. Then Jane threw her head back with a cocky laugh, the sound reverberating off the stone walls of the chamber.
It was a laugh filled with the sheer delight of one who knew they held all the cards, a laugh that dared anyone to challenge her authority.
"But they might find it difficult to reach this place and it will take quite a long time," Shea chimed in, her voice filled with a note of practicality.
"That would be a boring wait," Zoe added, her words a stark reminder of the reality of their situation.
For Jane, the reminder hit hard, like a slap to the face in the midst of her triumph. The laughter died on her lips. Her arrogant expression faltered, the mask of superiority slipping away to reveal the vulnerability beneath.
"You are right..." Jane conceded, her voice tinged with disappointment as she acknowledged the truth of Zoe's words. The excitement that had fueled her arrogance drained away, leaving behind a sense of emptiness.
