Alea Azh’Rezak

A Demon and one of **Ogras'** most trusted generals. A Poison cultivator who never hesitates to poison those who cross her. She flirts incessantly with **Zac** and there are evidences that those feelings are true and not just manipulation or currying favour with the strongest.  She hails from the slums of Ter’Ferizan where she was raised by her prostitute mother who abused and made her beg for her living.  Despite this Alea adored her and thought she was the most beautiful person in the world.  She criticises herself for this when she kills **Namys** on Ogras' orders as she believes both were denying reality due to their strong feelings.

She was placed in charge of the Ministry of Justice to maintain the law as the island developed on Ogras' recommendation. She could also act as a deterrent as people would stay on the straight and narrow, knowing the poison mistress was in charge of punishments.  She was stripped of this position after her actions towards Zac and **Hannah** resulted in Zac being stabbed and Hannah being imprisoned.

She hid a secret, in that her true form was actually some manner of swamp creature likely a result of her biology being affected by experiments with poison.  The form she was commonly seen in was a façade maintained by constantly expending cosmic energy.  This might be one reason she desired the now poison fruit of Ascension.

She was transformed into the cursed Spirit Tool **Love's Bond** to fulfil her dying wish to follow Zachary Atwood.

## **Appearance**

### **As a Torrid Demon**

"The beautiful demoness looked at him with a slight smile as she winked her large eyes at him. She wore what looked like an old-fashioned dress from the 60s. Apparently she had asked Ogras what humans from Earth wore, and Ogras had explained in detail, armed with outdated information from old-timey movies on Izzie’s device." **Chapter 82**

"She looked mesmerizing in the sunset. Her long silver hair danced in the wind, and her two horns looked like aetheric fire." **Chapter 164**

"... signature red irises ... her usually expressive features ... beautiful horns that shimmered in red like a sunset or crystallized fire" **Chapter 502**

That alluring smile, those intoxicating curves, those limpid eyes that seemed to both invite you in and warn you off - toxic perfection. **Chapter 848**

### **True Form**

"... a three meter tall hideous monster stepped out. The monster was full of thorns and vines, and multi-coloured gases wafted out from it, making it look like something out of a horror story. Before Sap had time to react the monster slowly transformed into the female demon." **Chapter 155**

"Well anyway, I am no swamp monster, it’s just some complications from my class I am working out. Lord Zac doesn’t need to know about it until I’ve fixed it, ok?" **Chapter 170**

### **Tool Spirit**

**Skill summon**

Her eyes were pitch-black and without emotion. The same went for her usually expressive features, as it was the same delicate face but without any of the emotions.

Her horns were tainted by green and purple. She looked like an avatar of corruption, perhaps this was what she would look like if she had managed to perfect and awaken her poison constitution before she fell, though Zac felt her appearance had more to do with the materials that went into the creation of **[Love's Bond]**. The **[Death's Embrace]** skill didn't create a whole body either, which was yet another reminder it wasn't actually Alea. Beneath her upper torso there was only black smoke that reached down into the coffin. Yet this semi-corporeal avatar was still more than ten meters in height. **Chapter 502**

**Incipient Spirit**

The demoness was partly translucent as she stood behind him with her familiar smile. Her appearance was also a lot more like the large avatar of **[Death’s Embrace]** than her old self, with the reddish tint of Torrid Demons having been replaced by pristine white with black scale-like markings.

It was a bit like Ogras’ odd transformation, but the aura was completely different. While Ogras' constitution felt indistinct like he was made out of shadows, the patterns on Alea’s skin rather contained the whispers of death. Her horns were quite different as well, almost looking like crescent blades with the outer side of them sharpened into an actual edge.

But the most palpable transformation were her eyes, which looked more like the eyes of a **Draugr** than those of a demon, though she did have a sclera with a slight turquoise tint. It was just that her pupils were much bigger than before, making her eyes almost look entirely black. But even with all the changes, it really was her. **Chapter 848**

## **Personality**

"Alea liked the strong and ruthless, and Zac fit the bill nicely as being able to single-handedly thwart an incursion made him quite the dashing figure in her words."

"In private Ogras told him that he didn’t want to poison test every swig of water or bite of food he took due to angering Alea, as she was slightly crazy like all other poison masters."

"Alea walked over and greeted him with a smile and a light touch on his arm, and Zac could only bear it for now with a grimace. He knew from experience that telling her off or pushing her away wouldn’t work, and if he got too insistent she might poison him in a rage. Nothing lethal, of course, but something strong enough for him to be puking his guts out for a few hours." **Chapter 82**

"She was just Alea, a prostitute’s daughter who hadn’t even earned the right to take a last name. She had thought that becoming a cultivator would change her fate, but she was still that same dirty child from the slums looking up at the gods soaring through the skies toward their faraway palaces." **Chapter 479**

## **Cultivation**

### Class

* Poison Mistress (F) - level 75 **Chapter 356**

Class Skills

* Odorless **Chapter 356**
* Gift of Talasa **Chapter 347**

"She actually got rewards from poisoning enemies. She explained the distinction the system made was whether effort, or skill, was involved in the kill. In her case generated the poisons herself and disseminated them using her class skills. The system awarded her cosmic energy for that." **Chapter 82**

"She had a strong constitution in order to handle her poisons, but not to the point she could shrug off attacks as Zac did." **Chapter 158**

"Alea’s highest attribute was Intelligence, closely followed by Vitality" **Chapter 379**

"...dodging and movement weren’t her strong suits..." **Chapter 109**

### Constitution

"Before I arrived at this planet I tried to force a change in my constitution to one that would better suit my skills (...) My heritage is incomplete, and some critical details were missing. It went awry and that form was the result of it. It has also caused some internal imbalances that made me... impulsive. (...) I've made tremendous progress by cultivating beneath the tree of Toxic Ascension. My body is still slightly impacted, but I have at least driven out the toxins out of my mind” **Chapter 292**

"Just turning into a monster was the least of her worries. She ran the risk of dying at any moment, and considering her class and constitution she might end up taking half of Port Atwood with her in a storm of poison." **Chapter 430**

Alea gained this odd constitution from absorbing the essence of the swamp monster named **[Er’Harkath Marshwalker]**, known for its ability to store all kinds of poisons in their body without harming themselves. There had been three young women before her who had died while attempting this. The risk of dying was extremely high unless there was a great fit between you and the manual. ****Chapter 479****

### Weapon

"...her only physical weapon was a thin rapier she used to decapitate any Zombie that got too close.

There were also the **[Wailing Spikes]**, but controlling those cursed objects cost too much, and wasn’t something that she would use unless she was out of options." **Chapter 347**

#### Poison

"These things look pretty disgusting. Try not to get bit, I am willing to bet an arm these things carry some weird diseases in their bodies (...) If you capture a few live ones and gift them to Alea I’m sure she will be delighted. I bet she can create some sinister concoctions from these things after some experimentation." **Chapter 84**

"The larger pool was half-filled with a deep green liquid that emanated small puffs of smoke at regular intervals. Alea sighed when she looked at her creation. She was lacking time, and the purification wasn’t completely done. But her specially modified **[Corpserot Poison]** should at least be concentrated enough to make most of the elite zombies fall apart in seconds.

Her mood improved noticeably when she walked over to the smaller pool, whose jets kept the liquid inside in constant motion. The electrical pool was truly a marvel, and she had already decided to get her hands on one of these things for her house after the war was over. Imagine watching the stars in one of these things, perhaps even with a companion. Alea quickly snapped out of her daydreams and put her hand into the warm golden liquid. It was as though her hand was a vacuum or tear in space, as the potent poison rushed into her body without leaving a drop behind. After the first pool was cleared out she did the same with the second pond." **Chapter 338**
