Chapter 172 - 169: Supreme Bloodline : Demon God
Sora watched as Rachel spent the following days shut inside, avoiding everyone.
"An innate skill that rewards betrayal? What kind of psycho would create something like that?" she muttered.
Yet, no matter how much she tried to push the thought away, the promise of power tempted her.
"No, I can't do that. I'm not a monster. I'm not…" Her voice trailed off as she tried to convince herself.
Then, as an idea struck her, her eyes lit up. "Fifteen uses. Fifteen people. If I choose carefully… I could target the worst trash in society. Get rid of those who deserve it… and grow stronger while I'm at it."
Sora shook his head as he observed her. 'You even lie to yourself. It doesn't matter what you've been through. I know what choice you made in the end. I will never pity you, two-faced scum.'

The memories continued to play, and Sora watched as Rachel entered a dungeon with a small group of players. She clutched her sword, following the others into the depths of the dungeon.
He recognized the leader, Jared, a young swordsman he had crossed paths with before.
Jared looked back at Rachel and smiled. "Don't worry, we've got this. Just stick close to me."
Rachel nodded, forcing a smile.
Her thoughts wavered. 'He's so kind to me… If he knew what my innate skill was capable of, would he still trust me this much?'
The group soon encountered a pack of beasts. Jared led the charge, cutting through them with his weapon. The others followed, their teamwork clumsy but effective.
Rachel stayed in the back, watching as the monsters' attacks grew stronger. Jared took several hits, his movements slowing as the injuries piled up.
"Rachel, cover me!" he shouted, struggling to parry an incoming blow.
She froze. Her gaze flicked to his wounds, as she started understanding how good the opportunity was.
Above his head, she saw something that increased the temptation.
