Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 2353

Stanley Batton shook his head slightly, feeling equally confused.

“If you have any questions, you might as well ask me. What’s the point of murmuring between you?" the voice said. “Xyla, my original plan was to torture you and Stanley adequately before killing you both.

“I wanted you to feel the pain of losing everyone important to you right before losing your life. I just never expected Sophie to appear out of the blue to take my life, leaving me in my spirit form to wander this world.”

Fear began to spread through Xyla Quest. Her palms dampened with sweat instantly upon realizing the grave danger they were in.

They were only ordinary human beings whereas the nine-tailed demon fox proved to be a deadly adversary despite being in his spirit form.

“Where is this place? Are you going to kill us?” she asked boldly.

At this point, Xyla knew being fearful wouldn’t solve anything. She had to face her fears head-on no matter what. So, she forced herself to remain calm.

“This is the pathway to hell," he answered. "Sophie wasn’t the only one to strike a deal with a deity. I did that, too.

“I went to Hades before my time was up to offer him an ancient artifact in exchange for his help to bring you two here. He allowed me to kill you.

“You should be glad I am only in my spirit form. I can only cause trouble here but not back in the human realm. Otherwise, why would I get rid of you two so easily? Why would I let you die in peace?” the demon fox added.

Up until then, he still hadn’t shown himself to them.
