CHAPTER 71: 71 ARE YOU A DEMON? (3/3, EXTRA UPDATE)

The first official conversation with Miss Demon was not harmonious.

The other party was uncooperative.

Perhaps it was due to shyness.

"How could I be shy over something like this! Alas..."

Kreti sighed speechlessly, rubbing her temples with her fingers, feeling a bit headache.

"Oh?"

Herbert asked in surprise, "Can you read minds?"

Wow, that powerful?

"Of course not! But why don’t you look at your own expression, you’ve already written everything you want to say on your face."

Kreti squinted her eyes, uncertainly looking at the paladin before her.

Since she started noticing Herbert, she has been observing him.

Observing his every move, experiencing his every word.

Kreti believed that no mortal could escape her eyes.

But now, she’s starting to doubt herself.

Is this new Prison Warden really a paladin?

Other than the righteous appearance and the dazzling Purity Protection, she couldn’t see any qualities matching it from him.

Sly, deceitful, ambitious, confident, even arrogant... he resembles more a capable Devil’s Contractor than a paladin.

He was bold enough to personally come to the Bronze Fortress to meet her, completely ignoring her invisible temptations.

And most importantly, was the noble aura on him, unabashed even when wearing charred clothes.

This is a noble.

Yes!

A young noble, ambitious, unsatisfied with the status quo, and persecuted!

Truly so... perfect.

Characters like Herbert are Kreti’s favorite!

They are the easiest to seduce, the most convenient to lead.

They are already standing at the edge of the Abyss, just a gentle push from behind, they’ll plunge into the bottomless Abyss.

No.

Without even pushing, a few whispered words granting them an illusory hope will make them eagerly jump in themselves.

That’s how it should be.

But the person before her... gave Kreti another feeling.

Clearly appearing full of flaws, yet there’s a feeling that "as soon as you make the first move, you’ll fall into his trap."

Is he really like he seems?

"Hehe... no, different is better!"

Different means there is a challenge.

Kreti lightly licked her red lips, feeling the long-lost ripple coming back to her boredom at this moment.

As an excellent hunter, her favorite is even more outstanding prey.

The person before her is a perfect prey with challenges!

Kreti can’t wait to entice him.

Let him fall!

"...Heh."

While Kreti was observing Herbert, she herself was being observed.

What was that saying?

When you gaze into the Abyss, the Abyss gazes back into you.

Herbert watched Miss Demon, silently analyzing her, finally reaching a conclusion.

"This one, fear she’s difficult to convert..."

From Kreti, he could sense a very terrifying malice.

And, beyond that sinister depth, what left a deeper impression was its purity.

Pure malice.

Not transformed evil from being persecuted, but inherently natured evil.

Inherently evil nature.

No burden or remorse for past sins could be seen on her, merely boredom.

And now, her boredom disappeared - she had found a new target.

Well then, who exactly is this target?

Truly hard to guess!

"Being targeted so quickly, do you really want me to fall? Do I look that seductive... heh."

Panicked?

Not at all...

Herbert was not flustered, his inner self was very calm.

When there’s too many lice, it’s not itchy.

Many people have their eyes on me, who do you think you are?

Not to mention others, just talking about that unruly Evil God.

Would She permit such a thing to happen?

Impossible.

She might sit back and watch other dramas, but when it comes to digging at Her foundation, She definitely wouldn’t stay seated!

You, go and have a fight with Nenasha.

You go and get rid of Her!

Only the one between you two who wins has the qualification to covet me!

Moreover, to "let Herbert fall" in itself is a false proposition.

He’s already a Fallen with a contract with the Evil God, how else can he fall?

Surely not a good fall, right?

But I’m originally a paladin with a Divine Oath, how does one good fall?

Not an evil fall, surely?

So, it’s bugged~

In this aspect, I am truly unbeatable!

The current scenario is quite interesting.

Kreti feels she has the upper hand, can easily take Herbert down.

While Herbert feels invincible, isn’t afraid at all.

At this moment, two scheming individuals both felt "the advantage is mine," exchanged a glance, and simultaneously revealed a knowing smile.

"Hehe."

"Haha..."

Boom!!!

A piercing explosion interrupts their gaze, flames and tremors stirred the entire fortress.

Herbert raised an eyebrow, knowing it was the Demon hurling stones again, asked with a raised brow: "What’s she up to now?"

If it were useful, it’d be fine, but under this situation, isn’t it evidently pointless?

If it’s useless, then why is she doing this?

"She’s just going crazy."

Kreti pouted dismissively, snorted: "Demons are rubbish, can go mad fifty years out of a hundred, just get used to it."

Demons and devils have always been at odds, never seeing eye to eye.

Demons think devils are pretending chickenhearted, devils think demons are brainless idiots.

The two almost fight upon meeting, having fought for over ten thousand years without a conclusion.

Herbert confidently suspected that the monastery locking these two together was the biggest punishment for them both.

"Going crazy, huh..."

Herbert squinted, thought for a moment, a bit uncertain about this notion.

Because when he followed the Archbishop, Miss Demon was one of the few seemingly normal, communicative prisoners...

Yet suddenly, with no intervention, a howl out of nowhere, went mad?

Doesn’t seem right?

This is a secret chamber, then there’s only one suspect present.

"You provoked her?"

"Me?"

Kreti blinked, snorted, casually said: "Sort of, her boredom had me thrown things at, I kept chanting scripture in her ear."

"Chanting scripture?"

"Here, see, a scripture I once tricked from a legendary Martial Monk, seems like something to redeem spirits."

Taking it over and flipping through it, confirmed it was genuine, blinked and couldn’t help but comment: "Wow, are you the devil?"

Doesn’t it upset you reading it?

Hurting others not benefiting oneself...

Injure a thousand enemies, lose eight hundred yourself?

"Of course I am!"

Kreti snorted with pride, then continued back on topic: "Alright, let’s not mind her, Herbert, I have a question for you."

"Hmm?"

With purple eyes riveted on the youth, the devil lightly parted her red lips, inquiring softly:

"Do you..."

"Desire power?"
