Chapter 81: Clan Slaughter Edict
Lady Joanie?
Why was she here?
Lordi Payne froze.
Oen Shinae sensed something and began to turn her head—but then her expression twisted violently as her face morphed once more into Oen Yume.
The bone chains rattled, tightening around Lordi Payne, ready to crush him. Yet under Joanie's calm gaze, the massive Bone Bloom Curse flower withering on Lordi Payne's body dissolved into nothing in an instant.
"!"
Oen Yume jolted in shock. Her head spun 180 degrees, bones cracking—but before she could see who stood behind her, Joanie raised a single finger.
Crack. Crack.
Oen Yume's head wrenched back into place—then her body collapsed with a heavy thud.
Lordi Payne tore off the wilted remains of the Bone Bloom and chains, hurrying to Joanie's side. "Many thanks, Lady Joanie."
She gave him a flat look—then her black hair surged, lengthening behind her like a living shadow. In the next moment, a dark tide engulfed Lordi Payne and Oen Shinae.
