I'm Really Not the Demon God's Lackey Chapter 416: Blackie's Prank

"No..." Maria struggled, but her body was controlled by the black shadow. She tried to break free, but found that her physical body was not responding and seemingly separated from her soul.

She could feel her soul being completely torn from her body and couldn't help but let out a scream of terror.

Maria dared not struggle anymore. She knew that if she moved recklessly, she would face real death. The black shadow was not in control of her physical body, but her soul.

Lin Jie had nothing but gratitude toward Blackie—after all, Blackie had been the one that granted him with all of humanity's books from Earth, which was a fulfillment of Lin Jie's greatest dream
