The Villain’s Cheat Code: When a Gamer Becomes the Evil God’s Sidekick

Gwen focused intently on the figure of Sapphirose before her, her gaze extremely grave.

No wonder she had sensed the aura of a monster from the start.

Initially, she thought it was a monster invading the Kravina estate.

Indeed, Gwen recognized the person before her.

The very creature that appeared in the Monster Rift.

Why was she here?

Gwen raised her blade seriously, the sword trembling slightly as light gradually enveloped it again.

She warned Lia and Henie behind her:

"Lia... prepare to escape. I'll hold her off."

"And try to find a way to notify Viktor to return."

Seeing Gwen so tense, Lia nodded solemnly.

"Alright."

Since Gwen said so, it meant the woman before them was definitely not someone to be trifled with.

At this moment, Lia glanced at the Mage's Hand worn on her hand.

She did have a way to call Viktor back directly, but...

The magic Viktor stored for her was too terrifying, both in damage and range, it was among the top tier of third-level magic.

If released here, the entire mansion might be destroyed.

For now, she couldn't do that.

In the blink of an eye, Sapphirose had already attacked.

Her figure moved swiftly across the floor, the long blade in her hand ready to strike.

[Iai Slash]

The same move as last time!

Gwen's eyes widened, staring hard at the cold blade coming at her.

The white figure whipped up a gust of wind that grazed Gwen's face.

In an instant, Sapphirose suddenly appeared behind Gwen.

That flash of cold light, the terrifying pressure and threat seemed to transform into a gust of wind, rushing at Gwen's back.

But... Gwen was unafraid.

Last time, she managed to withstand it.

And this time, she could too!

Gwen gripped her long sword tightly with both hands, her aura continuously rising.

Light surged between her palms, and her silver-white hair spread out, wildly dancing in the air like silver serpents.

[Silver Knight's Stance]

The light in her palms quickly flowed to her limbs, a warmth seeping from her veins.

She swiftly turned, positioning her long sword in front of her.

In an instant, the red sword blade clashed with the long knife, exploding with a tremendous impact.

The surrounding glass shattered completely, the clash of metal sending tremors through the air.

Yet Gwen could clearly feel that her strength was slightly inferior.

Feeling her power being gradually suppressed, she could only retreat slightly, flicking her long sword to deflect Sapphirose's silver blade, stepping back a few paces.

Gwen steadied her grip on the sword, resetting her stance, her gaze on Sapphirose growing even more serious.

She had grown stronger since their encounter in the Monster Rift.

Meanwhile, Lia, shielding Henie beside her, watched the battle with bated breath.

She bit her lip.

"What's Cocotte doing? How could she let a monster waltz in without stopping it?"

"Is she still asleep?"

Meanwhile...

In the garden of the Kravina estate.

Cocotte lay atop a giant flower bud, sleeping soundly.

Suddenly, she sneezed.

"Achoo!"

She blinked her eyes open, groggily rubbing them, about to drift back to sleep.

But through her sleepy eyes, she suddenly saw a sneaky, cloaked figure passing by.

The demon hunter stopped in his tracks, turning to look at Cocotte in surprise.

Their eyes met, a moment of silence ensued.

The demon hunter was the first to speak.

"Uh... hello?"

Cocotte smiled and nodded in response.

"Yo, a demon hunter."

The next second, the ground began to churn, the earth trembling slightly.

The demon hunter looked down, feeling the soil beneath his feet shaking.

Suddenly, a vine shot up, breaking through the ground, wrapping around the demon hunter's ankles, suspending him high in the air.

He flailed his body, struggling incessantly.

"Useless, stop struggling."

Cocotte yawned, beckoning a cloud over.

The white cloud floated lazily by, nearly veering off course into the garden wall.

Cocotte flopped onto the cloud, drifting over to the demon hunter, watching him quietly.

"Did you come here specifically to help me with my performance evaluation?"

"Thank you."

In a good mood, Cocotte hummed a little tune.

Thinking about catching a demon hunter sneaking into the Kravina house, Viktor and his wicked sister would surely praise her.

This way, next time something comes up, she could use this as a reason to take a justified leave.

Cocotte lay on the cloud, burying her face in the white fluff, indulging in a peaceful fantasy.

But suddenly...

Boom—!!!

A loud explosion echoed from the mansion, Cocotte started, blinking, and turned to look at the bound demon hunter.

"Have you demon hunters changed careers?"

"Not catching demons anymore, but demolishing people's homes?"

...

Gwen and Sapphirose continued their high-speed battle, their speed so fast it was hard to see with the naked eye.

The momentum kept rising, everything inside the house was being smashed to pieces.

The fallen curtains caught fire, the flames roaring up.

Yet, barely a minute had passed.

Gwen's red sword swung continuously, clashing with Sapphirose's long knife.

Sparks flew.

Lia and Henie huddled in a corner, watching the relentless battle with trepidation.

Watching the surrounding furniture break, their hearts ached.

All of this, it was money!

But the priority was to get Henie out first, then use the Mage's Hand to call Viktor back.

Lia thought so, turning to look at Henie behind her.

"Henie, let's..."

But she froze.

At this moment, Henie was staring blankly at the battle, muttering:

"She... actually has wings..."

Henie's mind was blank.

The moment Sapphirose appeared, she recognized those familiar eyes.

But what shocked her more was—

Sapphirose had wings on her body!

Henie was completely stunned.

She knew, Sapphirose's back, hidden under the cloak, clearly had a protrusion.

At first, Henie thought Sapphirose was carrying something, like a backpack.

Or perhaps... a physical ailment...

She even considered the worst.

But she never imagined.

Sapphirose's body, like hers, had a big secret!

They were drooping wings!

No wonder her strength was so great, her actions so swift, even the magic within her was so chaotic.

Because Sapphirose was not human.

Henie snapped back to reality, looking at the battle ahead.

Gwen and Sapphirose were evenly matched.

The two clashed repeatedly, their swords colliding.

Gwen's sword charged with energy, countering Sapphirose's moves again and again.

In the flash of cold light, Gwen's flame-wreathed greatsword always managed to block the blade at the last second.

Using the flames to create a gap between Sapphirose and herself.

Yet the massive impact still left her hands trembling, her form retreating a few steps.

Sapphirose's long blade didn't stop, instead, the frequency of her attacks increased.

Henie could clearly see.

Gwen was retreating under Sapphirose's relentless assault, like a flood.

Sapphirose was truly strong.

Henie slowly raised her head, eyes filled with worry.

She clenched her fists slightly.

And Lia's voice suddenly rang in her ear:

"Henie, do you know that thing?"

No one would mistake the current Sapphirose for a human.

Every time Sapphirose swung her blade, the black and white wings behind her flapped in tandem.

Like a completely cold-blooded monster, all remaining rationality was solely to kill the prey before her.@@novelbin@@

Henie was startled by the question.

Before she could respond to Lia, the battle not far away erupted with a loud crash.

Bang!

A burst of sound waves erupted, and Gwen was sent flying several yards.

Her swaying body twisted mid-air, landing somewhat unsteadily on the ground.

The gap in strength was too great.

Before Gwen could reset her stance, Sapphirose attacked again.

The wings flapped, the white figure carrying a cold gleam, tearing through space, appearing before Gwen.

This time, Gwen didn't even have time to assume a defensive posture.

But just as Sapphirose's attack was about to land.

[Second-level Magic: Blue Crystal Veil]

Instantly, a blue curtain rose from beneath Gwen's feet, quickly expanding to encircle her.

The mist-like veil churned, and Sapphirose felt her blade strike something soft, like a cloud.

She withdrew slightly, flipping her body, stepping on the blue mist, using the rebound to push herself several yards away, distancing from Gwen.

Her eyes flickered with a complex expression.

A whitelist character was protecting a blacklist character.

[Unable to comprehend—]

Henie, at this moment, raised a hand, bending over, panting heavily.

The blue makeshift magic circle behind her lit up, then began to disintegrate, having shielded Gwen from a dangerous attack.

"Good thing... made it in time..."

She couldn't perform magic as easily and quickly as Professor Viktor with no incantation.

So this timely shield spell took a considerable toll on her magic reserves.

She felt as if her body was drained of energy, utterly exhausted.

Sapphirose held her long blade, her gaze puzzled, looking at Henie.

The shield just now, if she wanted, she could have broken through it.

But she didn't.

Because at that moment, Henie had met her gaze.

With a voice, she slowly spoke:

"Sapphirose..."

"Stop."

[Whitelist character request detected—]

[Whitelist character request takes precedence over blacklist elimination]

[Command executed]

Sapphirose's eyes were complex, taking another look at Henie.

"I... just want to..."

[Protect you]

Before the words could finish, Sapphirose had already sheathed her long blade.

In the puzzled eyes of everyone, she flapped her massive wings, stirring up a gust.

The next second, she shot into the sky like an arrow.

In an instant, she vanished from sight.

Everyone else, including Henie.

Watched Sapphirose's departure in silence.

At this moment, a white cloud drifted over.

Cocotte looked around at the mansion, now resembling a ruin, leaning against the wall, poking her head out.

Seeing Lia and the others' complex and serious expressions, she was utterly bewildered.

"Huh? What happened?"

Meanwhile.

Gwen clutched her arm, looking up through the shattered glass.

She gazed at the moon high in the sky, suddenly collapsing to the ground.

Reaching into her armor, she took out two white feathers hidden within.

As if unwilling, she gently clenched them.
