Next to her was a large iron pot, gurgling and steaming with heat.
Scanning her surroundings, she saw a wide beach.
The demons were gathered inside a cave entrance, staring at her blankly.
This place... seemed to be the dwelling of some wild demons?
Why did they look like primitive savages?
She was currently lying on this beach.
"Guwa!"
Suddenly, the demon closest to Luo Li wore a smile that was nearly perverted.
In the next second, he rushed forward almost without hesitation.
As she saw that large face suddenly closing in, scenes flashed through Luo Li's mind.
They were the same heart-pounding, strangely exciting scenes she had seen while playing the game in her past life.
In this moment, however, they all transformed into a curse echoing in her ears.
She was about to become that!
Her body instinctively wanted to flee, but the sea was right behind her.
Her surroundings were entirely unfamiliar.
At this moment, she had nowhere to run.
Left with no choice, the only thing she could do now was unleash the power she had hidden for so long.
Skill—【Holy-Demon Conversion】!
Accompanied by a soft whisper echoing in her ears, a strange sensation arose.
Her entire body felt a jolt like an electric current, and a tingling numbness instantly crawled over her skin.
"Ah~"
A soft, seductive moan that even she couldn't believe escaped her red lips.
The tingling sensation traveled from her tailbone up her spine and instantly rushed to the top of her head.
Even her scalp was tingling in waves, leaving her mind a complete blank.
It felt as if her entire being was drifting above the clouds.
Her silver hair, though soaked with water, defied gravity and began to float.
Starting from the roots, the silver strands extended outward into black, and in an instant, her long silver hair became a sea of raven locks.
Her body floated into the mid-air, completely lifting off the surface of the sea.
A black radiance erupted from the 【Holy Crest】 engraved on her abdomen.
The light swirled and covered her entire body.
Vambraces, gauntlets, greaves, sabatons, a breastplate, and an armor skirt.
The Saintess's robe vanished without a trace in an instant, replaced only by a set of solid, condensed battle armor.
A sharp, intense itch came from her scalp; she could feel two objects piercing through her skin at the top of her head.
They grew out rapidly.
This intense sensation caused her to let out a suppressed, involuntary moan.
"Mmm~"
With that soft sound, everything around her regained clarity.
The blankness in her mind gradually returned to normal.
Her usual calm and composure seemed to waver slightly at this moment.
A voice in her heart seemed to whisper incessantly, 'Go on! Experience that ultimate bliss~ No one can stop you.'
However, Luo Li's reason allowed her to forcefully suppress that intense desire.
She forced herself to ignore the longing sensation.
She slowly opened her eyes.
The demon in front of her, along with those behind him, stood frozen in place.
They seemed unable to believe what they were seeing.
However, Luo Li did not hesitate for a second.
Skill—【Burst】 (Increases own attack power by 10%).
Skill—【Sharpness】 (Increases weapon sharpness by 100%).
She suppressed the impulsive longing, and in the next second, a powerful, violent desire for carnage surged into her heart.
She wanted to kill everything!
She wanted to destroy everything!
She wanted to...
The desires in her mind frantically fought for dominance over her reason.
In the next second, her hand rose almost of its own accord.
Her sharp index fingertip pierced into the abdomen of the demon before her with silk-like smoothness.
With almost no pause... she simply gave a light upward pull.
'Rippp.'
It felt like a sharp blade slicing through pigskin.
A black bloodstain instantly appeared from the demon's abdomen to its chest.
The wound, fifty centimeters long, caused its internal organs to spill out with a wet thud in an instant.
"Aaaah—!"
With a miserable scream, the demon collapsed to the ground, clutching its abdomen in agony.
The tragic cry was enough to make any listener weep.
However, Luo Li's heart felt no ripple of emotion at this moment.
No... it wasn't that there were no ripples, but rather that there was no mercy.
At this moment, a powerful sensation crawled up her spine to her scalp.
The feeling brought by violence made her almost intoxicated!
Her body, nearly out of control, raised a foot, and the sharp heel easily pierced through the demon's thigh.
'Squelch.'
At this point, Luo Li was standing directly on top of the demon.
Aside from screaming, the demon could do nothing.
Seeing this, Luo Li understood that these scattered demons were likely the lowest tier among the demon race.
These demons possessed almost no decent intelligence.
Calling them mentally deficient would be an overstatement; it would be good if their wisdom even matched that of a dog.
At this moment, Luo Li felt no pity.
She began to walk, her sharp heels lightly stepping onto the demon beneath her.
Every time she lifted a foot, the barbed heel would instantly hook out a large chunk of flesh.
Black blood bubbled out of the wounds like a spring.
When Luo Li walked past the demon and delivered a final stomp to its skull, the demon finally fell completely silent, turning into a corpse that lay there quietly.
Inside the cave entrance, all the demons stared with wide eyes.
Though their intelligence was low and they could barely communicate, as living beings, they still possessed the instinct for survival.
Facing an enemy that was clearly a high-tier demon, even though their walnut-sized brains couldn't understand why a human had suddenly transformed into a demon, it didn't stop their survival instinct from making them instantly drop to their knees.
"Don't... don't~"
"Sor... ry..."
These demons could say three words at most; they couldn't manage anything more.
Others couldn't even utter a single proper word.
Looking at the demons kneeling before her, a small spark of pity rose in Luo Li's heart for a fleeting moment.
But in the blink of an eye, it was replaced by the impulse to slaughter.
The creatures before her were all demons.
They were beings that only knew how to invade and mistreat other races.
They weren't worth pitying at all.
Even if their intelligence wasn't high, it didn't mean they lacked malice.
On the contrary, the malice of these demons was almost innate.
It was just like the frantic slaughter and breeding instinct currently in her mind, which was crashing against her reason every single moment.
It was hard to believe how those demons managed to preserve their will when they had such intense impulses from birth.
No wonder the demon race was so much stronger than other humanoid races.
Could a being that could suppress such intense desires ever be weak?
Absolutely not.
Luo Li's mind raced, while her hand rose involuntarily and clenched.
A greatsword, entirely pitch-black and covered in eerie crimson runes, appeared in her hand.
Sacred Treasure of the Moon Witch—【Sword of Death】!
Luo Li swung the greatsword, directly carving through their bodies!
The intense desire for slaughter was satisfied in that moment.
This exhilarating feeling was addictive.
"Hehe~ Hahahaha~ Die! Die! Everyone, just die!!"
The impulse to kill continued to batter her reason.
Although Luo Li could barely maintain a semblance of sanity, as the slaughter continued, she could no longer suppress her body's impulses.
The greatsword in her hand almost never stopped, and... every time, she wouldn't directly end the demons' lives.
Instead, she frantically inflicted wounds upon them.
She laughed wildly while constantly hacking and slashing.
The greatsword in her hand didn't stop for a single moment, nor did the screams in her ears.
A mere dozen or so demons were actually dragged out for an entire hour by her.
It wasn't until the end that she finally killed the last remaining, dying demon.
When the greatsword instantly pierced through that demon's brain, the violent slaughter impulse finally began to subside slowly.
Her entire body was trembling uncontrollably.
It was an indescribable sense of relief, a feeling like floating above the clouds.
Is this... what it feels like to be a woman?
Luo Li's mind gradually cleared. After the bout of slaughter, that intense impulse seemed to have temporarily quieted down.
Looking at the ground covered in mangled remains, she could hardly believe she had done all of this.
But there was no doubt; the greatsword was in her hand, and the corpses were on the ground.
Traces of blood and bits of flesh remained on her delicate skin.
She had done all of this.
She slowly let out a long breath.
Luo Li's reason completely regained the upper hand.
The physical sensations hadn't fully faded, but at least she could move normally now.
"I should wash up first."
Looking at the black blood and flesh covering her, Luo Li stepped onto the beach.
Other demons seemed to instinctively loathe seawater, but Luo Li's body didn't show any special reaction as she approached it.
Her mind didn't loathe the seawater either.
Using the slightly murky seawater, she washed away the filth on her body, which helped clear her head quite a bit.
In the overcast sky, the wind and rain hadn't ceased.
Far off on the horizon, a massive amount of dark clouds seemed to be approaching.
Faintly, she could see the clouds twisting continuously, as if being pulled forward by something.
Luo Li knew that this was the typhoon.
This meant... she had only been unconscious for a very short time.
But she didn't know where she was currently located.
Looking left and right, this place didn't look like the evacuation point at all.
And judging by the rotation angle of the typhoon, she seemed to have been washed quite a distance away by the undersea undercurrents.
The undercurrents near the shore were terrifying.
Though Luo Li couldn't swim, she was still quite interested in the ocean. In her past life, she had specifically searched for information about it.
She vaguely remembered that an undercurrent could sweep a person away in a single second and drag them hundreds of meters into the deep sea in just over ten seconds.
It wasn't impossible for an undercurrent of such power to have carried her away instantly.
Moreover, there were no familiar landmarks nearby.
She had seen the evacuation point personally and remembered the characteristics of its location.
Unfortunately, there was nothing similar in this vicinity.
What she needed to do now was first determine where she was, and then figure out how to return to the mainland.
As she was now, it was impossible for her to deactivate her demon form.
Though the slaughter and breeding instinct would occasionally try to seize her reason, she felt she could at least endure it.
More importantly, if she returned to her Saintess state, she would be isolated and helpless on this demon island.
Wouldn't that be like a sheep entering a tiger's den?
No, it would be a Saintess entering a pervert's den.
She shook her head, temporarily tossing that thought aside.
'Growl~'
A rumbling sound of hunger echoed in her ears.
Luo Li subconsciously looked down at her stomach.
Well... aside from two high-peaked things, she couldn't see much of her stomach.
However, she could still see the 【Demon Crest】 engraved on her flat belly.
The moment she used 【Holy-Demon Conversion】, the 【Holy Crest】 had turned into a 【Demon Crest】.
Her abilities had instantly changed as well.
However, her primary power was still replenishment, though this time, it was replenishing dark elements.
She had to find a way to fill her stomach first, then study her next move.
She lowered her gaze to the seawater before her.
The ocean should have plenty of edible things.
But there was no helping it; she couldn't swim.
Even if she could, the current storm-tossed sea wasn't a place for a newbie like her to go.
She decided to go back and see what those demons were boiling in that pot earlier.
With that thought, Luo Li turned and walked toward the cave.
The moment she entered, the scent of blood rushed into her nostrils.
In that instant, the impulse for slaughter involuntarily surfaced in her mind again, though it subsided a moment later.
Perhaps that desire had been sated for the short term.
She walked to the iron pot and looked down.
Under the boiling pot, what looked like uprooted and dried weeds were being used as fuel.
The smell of those burning weeds was a bit choking.
Since the demons hadn't bothered to make a chimney, the entire cave was filled with thick smoke.
Fortunately, the cave was high enough that the smoke drifted upward and didn't choke Luo Li.
She lifted the lid of the iron pot and took a look.
To be honest, she lost her appetite the moment she saw what was inside.
She couldn't tell what it all was, but there seemed to be shells, crabs, and other things... like dead fish that had been washed ashore.
"Do demons usually rely on this stuff to fill their stomachs?"
It was truly hard to imagine that these demons ate this kind of food every day.
How on earth did they survive?
Wait, what she was seeing weren't the elite demons; those elites certainly wouldn't just eat this.
Survival of the fittest existed even within the demon race.
These demons barely surviving by the sea were probably the ones who had been cast out.
The contents of the pot looked difficult to swallow, but she gave it some thought.
At least this was cooked; it had to be better than the raw stuff outside, right?
Besides... in this heavy rain, what else could she do besides make do with what she had?
Go catch something herself?
Setting aside whether she could catch anything, if she accidentally took a wrong step, she might not have the same good luck to be washed ashore again next time.
"Sigh~ I'll just have to make do for now."
