Chapter 201: Playing Something Different with the Sister~
Henie saw Owiser approaching her slowly and instinctively wanted to bow.
Of course, she knew who Owiser was.
The second prince of the Empire.
At Viktor's lecture, countless nobles were present.
And those two princes sat right in the center of the lecture hall, drawing a lot of attention.
"Your... Your Highness."
The second prince smiled at Henie, and before she could bow, he spoke first.
"Stop."
Henie froze for two seconds upon hearing the prince's words, her body half-bent, awkwardly pausing in mid-air.@@novelbin@@
"No need to bow, no one knows I'm here."
The second prince said with a smile.
"I just wanted to come and see this memorable place."
Henie slowly straightened up, her hands tightly clenched together, forcing a stiff smile.
A prince was such a noble person; it was something unimaginable for someone like her to be spoken to by him.
But Henie only wanted to leave at this moment.
Apart from Professor Viktor, she instinctively didn't want to interact with any male.
But since the prince hadn't given her permission to leave, Henie naturally didn't dare to leave on her own.
She simply stood silently to the side.
Suddenly, the prince asked her a question:
"I heard you mentioned demons earlier."
"How much do you know about demons?"
Listening to the prince's words, Henie lowered her head, responding weakly.
"I haven't learned much..."
"I see."
The prince watched Henie, squinting slightly.
He could feel it.
Yes, he could feel it very clearly.
Inside this girl, there was a demon.
That extremely furious aura was clearly emanating from the girl in front of him.
The prince knew that upon meeting Henie, he had confirmed his suspicions.
He certainly knew who Henie was.
Viktor's former assistant, with countless connections to Viktor.
And the fury that should have appeared on Jace was originally a grand gift he had prepared for his royal brother.
Why, inexplicably, did it appear on her?
'Greed, do you have any idea?'
That sticky, hoarse voice gradually echoed in his heart.
'Never seen this little girl, not familiar.'
Telling lies came effortlessly to demons.
The prince didn't take it seriously.
After all, when he first met Greed, Greed was attached to that poor pighead, Devin Reiser.
At this moment, the prince chuckled softly.
He was very interested in the Henie before him.
Viktor must know something, so he used the girl in front of him to forcibly take away the Wrath Demon.
If he could discover her secret of attracting demons...
As he thought, he reached out a hand to Henie and continued:
"Perhaps we could find a place to talk, shall we?"
An invitation from a prince.
Ordinary people would not refuse.
The prince also believed Henie would make the right choice.
But what he didn't expect was—
The girl in front of him bowed deeply to him and then said something that shocked him:
"I'm very sorry, Your Highness!"
"I cannot leave with you."
As the words fell, the prince was stunned.
Even the hand he had extended was frozen in place, forgotten to be withdrawn.
He had been refused?
As a prince of the Empire, it was the first time he had been rejected by a woman.
The prince found it hard to understand, looking at Henie with a forced smile:
"I say..."
"May I ask why?"
Henie took a few steps back because she sensed an inexplicable malice from the prince.
It was as if a sharp emotion was gradually brewing in his heart.
Henie was very sensitive to emotions, and she hurriedly bowed again, apologizing:
"Sorry, Your Highness, because I really have something important to do."
Hearing this, the prince frowned slightly.
"What could be so important that you would refuse a prince?"
Could it be, just because of Viktor?
The prince looked at Henie, taking a few steps back, he pressed on.
Inside Henie's body, a red crocodile slowly raised its head, frowning.
"The rich scent of jealousy."
"Bah, tastes awful."
Henie kept retreating, while the prince kept advancing.
The prince became somewhat impatient,
He had to figure it out.
Why was there a demon hidden inside this woman in front of him?
But suddenly, he saw someone standing beside Henie.
【Threat to the protected target detected——】
【Initiating protective measures——】
In the blink of an eye, the prince only felt a flash before his eyes.
Boom!
A massive impact hit his chest, the powerful pressure even breaking a few of his ribs.
The next second, he flew out like a meteor, limbs spread wide.
Unprepared, he fell into the deep lake.
Splashing beautiful sprays of water.
Henie widened her eyes, watching Sapphirose forming a bow stance with one leg, the other stretched straight, her arm suspended in the air.
The whole person was stunned in place.
"Threat eliminated."
A voice sounded from beneath the cloak.
Henie was dumbfounded, covering her face with one hand, as if she couldn't believe what she had just seen.
The prince had been beaten.
"It's over."
"Now, trouble is brewing..."
.......
The huge mountain range protruded with bizarre rock formations, a hint of green draping a thin layer of clothing on the mountain.
This was the back mountain outside the capital, vast in scope, requiring a long journey to reach the summit.
Kevla teased Viktor on the side:
"Hey, hey, doesn't it feel exciting?"
"What?"
Viktor asked casually.
Kevla smiled sweetly:
"Of course, it's a date with your sister, don't you find it thrilling?"
"Little Gwen knows about this, you know."
She extended a finger, poking Viktor's chest, hooking the pendant on his chest.
"You~"
"You have to spend the whole day with your sister."
Viktor, hands in pockets, looked down at Kevla's charming eyes, his gaze moving downward, sneering disdainfully.
"I'm not desperate enough to settle for this."
"Old hag."
"???"
Kevla was caught off guard.
Though she didn't quite understand Viktor's strange look, the last comment about being old was enough to break her defense.
The bloodline of the demon hunter extended her lifespan, even her appearance barely changed.
But her age was always a secret not to be mentioned.
Kevla's face twitched slightly, forcing a smile.
"Viktor, you haven't changed since you were a child, still just as unlikable."
Viktor glanced at her, his gaze returning forward.
"But I have a fiancée."
"......"
Kevla silently withdrew her hand, walking forward without a word.
The world finally quieted down, and Viktor continued to follow behind Kevla.
Soon, they stood before a cave.
Deep within the cave was an extremely large stone door.
It seemed the height of the mountain was naturally formed to accommodate this massive stone door.
Kevla stopped and entered the cave, looking up at the stone door.
"We're here."
She placed her hand on the stone door, pressing down heavily.
The massive stone door began to tremble, dust falling from the cracks.
The two doors gradually opened, a gust of wind blowing fiercely from the dark tunnel.
Bang!
The door gradually stopped, standing on both sides of the cave.
Kevla stepped forward, walking into it.
Viktor followed behind her slowly.
The dark tunnel was filled with a damp and moldy smell.
Enduring the odor, Viktor continued walking forward.
But soon, the tunnel suddenly widened.
The surrounding lights instantly lit up, the rock walls polished smooth, the space so vast it felt like it protruded from the mountain.
The rock walls were covered with various ordinary images, each annotated with notes.
The surrounding rocks were polished into flat shapes, looking like they could be used for sitting and resting.
The entire vast space seemed like some kind of cult base, used for speeches and gathering followers.
Kevla slowly turned around and said to Viktor:
"This is the demon hunter branch near the capital. Since it's newly established, it's somewhat simple."
"I'm currently in charge here, serving as the branch's minister."
As her words fell, Kevla's aura suddenly surged.
A bar rose, and Viktor sensitively noticed that Kevla saw her health bar.
And her level.
Lv40.
Kevla had leveled up.
Previously, she was level 39.
In the game, there are two occasions when health bars and levels appear.
One is physical contact, and the other is entering combat mode.
He hadn't touched Kevla,
So...
The Kevla in front of him had already entered combat readiness.
At this time, several figures slowly emerged from the darkness of the rock walls.
They were draped in the emblem of demon hunters, wearing various animal masks.
Beneath the masks, only a pair of eyes stared intently at the man in front of them.
Viktor, hands in pockets, showed little change in expression, as if everything was within his expectations.
"So, you brought me here to test."
"Test whether I have any dealings with demons, right?"
Kevla frowned, looking at Viktor with a conflicted gaze.
"I really want to believe you, Viktor."
So, she gave him that pendant, a token as precious as her life.
"I know I can't defeat you."
"If I die, that pendant will expel the demon within you."
"The power of the demon hunter will protect you, never again corrupted by demons."
The blood of demon hunters is at odds with demons, so the power of demon hunters will forcibly cleanse the demon's power.
"I won't allow a demon to come into contact with Gwen."
"Consider it for Gwen, Viktor."
Kevla slowly drew a silver-white dagger from her waist, and the surrounding demon hunters simultaneously drew the same style of silver blades.
"Alright."
"Since it's a test, I have no problem."
Viktor suddenly laughed, squinting his eyes.
"But, to make the test less boring."
"From now on, I won't use any magic."
Viktor took his left hand out of his coat pocket, a white wind blade forming a sword, attaching to his forearm.
A turbulent wind swirled in the space, the papers on the walls torn down, dancing in the air.
And Viktor's coat was also blown, flapping loudly.
He held the sword in one hand, speaking lightly:
"For your trust in me."
"Try to defeat me."
