“Wh… what?”
Aiki stared wide-eyed at Seia behind her.
“How… is this possible…”
The Vampire Queen finally showed a shocked expression.
To the side, Joey muttered to himself as he watched Aiki’s reaction…
This person usually says I love to act… but she’s quite the actress herself…
Joey rolled his eyes helplessly at Aiki.
How could a Vampire die just from being stabbed through…
This Little Servant…
She definitely couldn’t think of a way to defeat Seia, so she’s making me fight her instead…
Ah… what a pain…
Thinking about getting hurt made him feel miserable.
Would he cry for half a day if Seia punched him?
It had been so long since he had been injured…
Whatever…
He couldn’t keep acting at a time like this…
Because there was a much more interesting plot unfolding…
Furthermore, Seia had no intention of letting go of Aiki…
Because Seia’s reason and the hostility in her eyes began to conflict.
Deep breath, Seia…
“Whew… whew…”
How could Seia not know about a Vampire’s Regeneration?
A hundred ways to cruelly kill Aiki appeared in her mind.
It was just that her remaining reason was telling her…
Doing so would scare Joey.
And… if Aiki died, she wouldn’t have a way to save her Childhood Friend from the Hypnosis…
Seia…
Please…
Just five minutes…
Calm down…
“Hoo… whew…”
Just as Seia didn’t know how to deal with Aiki…
“Ugh!”
Seia’s chest was also stabbed.
It was Joey; he had formed an Ice Blade in his hand and plunged it into Seia’s chest.
“Sorry again, Seia…”
The Protagonist tilted his head and flashed a playful smile.
“You dummy, you guessed everything wrong…”
“What right does a lowly Little Servant like Aiki have to control me?”
Joey walked up to Seia.
“Haven’t you realized yet, Seia~”
“I’m not a little boy suffering from Magic Corruption…”
“I am the Demon King~”
As the Protagonist spoke, a little devil-like smile curled the corners of his mouth.
The… the Demon King!!!
Joey!!!
“Whew… Hah!!!”
Seia could feel the Blood in her body boil instantly. Then, her last shred of reason…
Was shattered in an instant by Joey’s mocking smile.
Ah…
It’s coming…
Joey knew that if he didn’t act, Aiki would definitely be in mortal danger.
After all, although the Blood Clan was Undying and Indestructible…
Just a simple ray of sunlight could make them dissipate.
Since Joey couldn’t figure out Seia’s trump cards, he might as well show his hand directly.
Right now, Seia was probably about to explode with rage…
Anyone could see it…
Because the pale red aura surrounding Seia’s body…
Gradually transformed into a dark red…
“BOOM!!!!!”
Then! That dark red aura exploded directly with Seia at the center.
Joey took the opportunity to snap his fingers, teleporting the still-unconscious Anya and the Priestess out of the Maze.
Because the level of Magic in Aiki’s body was too high, Joey couldn’t teleport her away immediately.
He would just let Seia toss her aside for now.
Anyway, she was just over there pretending to be asleep.
That bastard Aiki…
Being a Cadre is so easy for her.
She pretends to be defeated when things happen, and complains about him as the boss when they don’t.
But it didn’t matter…
Joey looked at Seia, whose combat power had surged, and the Blood in the Protagonist’s body began to boil with excitement.
Let me…
Properly research just how powerful a Hero really is…
At the same time, the thing that made the Protagonist happiest was…
Finally, there was someone…
Who could make him use his full power…
And she was a sandbag that wouldn’t break no matter how hard he hit her.
Joey secretly clenched his fists.
“So… Joey…”
“This is me talking to you with the last of my reason…”
A crimson light flickered in Seia’s eyes.
She looked at Joey and asked with a cold expression:
“Why… after saving me…”
“Do you have to go out of your way to torture me?”
Joey was about to explain to Seia that torturing her was an accident…
But he kept his mouth shut and curled his lips into a playful arc…
“Because it’s fun…”
The Protagonist, like a demon who cared for nothing, walked up to Seia…
“Because you are the only person in this World who can actually hurt me…”
“I don’t want you to die~”
“Even though you’re an idiot and a fool…”
“You happen to make a perfect sandbag for me~”
Was that bratty enough…
Joey asked himself in his mind…
He wanted to provoke the Seia in front of him on purpose, while also seeing what level her current combat power could reach.
As Joey spoke those mocking words, he activated his Eye of Reconnaissance…
The Seia before him…
Her reason seemed on the verge of being consumed by rage…
Dark red Magic emanated from her entire body…
And…
The Magic seemed to be getting thicker and thicker…
Denser and denser…
“ROAR!!!!!!”
Seia suddenly picked up the Bone Greatsword in her hand and swung it toward Joey’s head…
But at the moment it was about to cleave Joey…
Seia froze as she looked at Joey’s small face…
She…
Had never hurt Joey…
Seia gritted her teeth…
I clearly…
Had already made up my mind!!!
Why…
Joey frowned as he looked at the conflicted Seia…
Then, a flash of disappointment crossed the Protagonist’s eyes…
“Sigh…”
“You’re truly pathetic…”
Then Joey walked slowly up to Seia. With cold eyes, he raised a finger and placed it against Seia’s forehead.
As if playing, the Protagonist flicked Seia’s forehead…
Except the power behind it…
Was a bit too great…
“BOOM!!!!!”
In an instant, Seia was sent flying by that flick toward the wall of the Maze.
The wall couldn’t withstand such immense force either and a large hole was smashed through it.
Seia was actually flicked out of the Maze by Joey!
But Joey didn’t stop.
He surged his Magic and flashed hundreds of meters outside the Maze, appearing before Seia, who had crashed through countless large trees.
Only half of Seia’s head remained, and it was still in the process of recovery…
“How boring… Seia…”
The Protagonist said while raising his finger…
“I originally thought that after suffering such a blow, you would become a bit stronger…”
“But in the end, you’re still that…”
“Little Villager who gets conflicted over everything…”
“I’ve treated you like this…”
“How can you still not bear to strike…”
“It’s truly… infuriating…”
Joey raised his finger toward the sky, and then a swarm of Fireballs appeared in the air, continuously raining down on Seia on the ground.
“BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!”
The scene was like a natural disaster. With Seia at the center, everything within a one-kilometer radius was reduced to ashes.
Until not a single blade of grass remained within that precise kilometer, and the air was filled with the smell of burning and endless dust…
Joey stood at the spot where he had blasted Seia into dregs, but he couldn’t find any sign of her.
“Swoosh!!!”
Just then, Joey heard the sound of a dash coming from his left.
Without even looking, the Protagonist raised his hand toward that direction and caught Seia, who was about to cleave him.
“You’re still far from it, little Villager~”
Joey’s smile was incredibly arrogant as he grabbed the maddened Seia and slammed her into the ground.
“BANG!!!!”
With another sound, Joey’s attack caused the surrounding ground to tremble.
