As Lady Daiyi's guard, Bernice had been following behind the two of them the entire time.

The feeding, the hand-holding—she saw it all.

Just as she thought Daiyi was about to be won over by Felyn, she felt an unusual magical aura appear nearby.

This aura was from the same high-level magical beast that had appeared at Felyn's door last time.

But unlike last time, this magical aura was clearly filled with anger and hostility.

"Bernice? Why are you here?"

Felyn saw Bernice suddenly appear in the dessert shop. At this moment, he still hadn't let go of Daiyi's hand.

The surrounding customers had all been urgently evacuated by Mirian.

"Your ex-girlfriend is here. Maybe she's come to settle a romantic score."

Bernice's feet made a dull, rhythmic thud on the floor. The afternoon sun flowed over her white sigil armor, the complex sigil patterns flickering with her movements.

Her sigil gun was already slung across her back, reflecting a cold halo of light.

"Romantic score?"

Felyn quickly ran through his mind, wondering where he could possibly have a romantic score to settle.

"Then I should hold your hand tightly. With a beautiful girl like me by your side, she'll surely regret it even more, right?" Daiyi seemed completely unworried. She even had the leisure to tease Felyn.

At this moment, a purple magical pattern emerged in the shop, a precursor to high-level teleportation magic.

Felyn could see a faint, thin line appear above Bernice's head.

He had thought the lines only appeared above the heads of magical beasts, but he didn't expect one to appear above Bernice's as well.

Does this thing appear above one's head regardless of whether they cast magic or divine arts?

But unlike with the magical beasts, the thin line appearing above Bernice's head descended from the sky.

While Felyn was in a daze, the entire house glowed with a dazzling purple light.

The magic in the air gradually gathered together, forming a human figure.

This was the Demon King's daughter, Eitani Sivishus.

An oppressive feeling burst forth from her, making it somewhat difficult for everyone present to breathe.

Her brown eyes slowly opened. After scanning the shop, she found her target.

"Human, did you think I would let you off so easily?"

A trace of contempt and anger flashed through Eitani's brown eyes. Her highly raised chin already showed her inner attitude.

When her gaze fell upon Felyn, she saw that he was still holding the hand of a beautiful girl.

And it wasn't the same girl who came to the dungeon that day!

As expected, just as I thought. He talks about true love, but he's actually just a scumbag, isn't he?

Using my illusion to lure other girls?!

Damn it!

Eitani's gaze locked onto their intertwined hands, which made Daiyi mistakenly think Eitani was jealous.

"She's jealous," Daiyi said faintly.

"Don't be ridiculous, how could she be jealous? She's obviously just unhappy with me and came to beat me up."

Seeing Felyn and Daiyi still flirting, Eitani's anger flared. She pointed a finger at Daiyi, her brows tightly furrowed.

"Human girl, he lied to you. He's dating several other girls at the same time."

Daiyi was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Eitani meant by that.

Eitani was about to step forward and pull their hands apart, to prevent the innocent and ignorant girl from being sullied by Felyn.

But Bernice had already stood between them, blocking Eitani's path with her body.

"You're going to stop me?"

Eitani hadn't originally paid any attention to Bernice. It was only when the other woman blocked her way that she slightly raised her eyes.

A purple light flickered in the depths of her brown pupils, revealing the pressure of a superior being.

"I recognize you. You were the one at that man's door last time, weren't you?" The light around Eitani began to distort because of her.

"A mere human, do you think you can stop me?"

"Try me." Bernice's voice remained without any fluctuation.

A flash of displeasure crossed Eitani's eyes. "Out of my great mercy, I want to save that simple girl from the scumbag's deceit, and you're still going to stop me?"

Simple girl?

Felyn looked at Daiyi, then at Bernice.

Where? Where is there a simple girl here?

Seeing that Bernice still wouldn't back down, Eitani understood a few things.

Last time, the masked girl appeared at Felyn's house. This time, she was obstructing her from saving an innocent girl.

"I see. You're that man's s... s-slave, aren't you? Have you already been trained by him to this extent?"

At this moment, Felyn only hated that he didn't know any divine arts, otherwise he would have gone up and given her a couple of punches.

And why does a magical beast like you know so much!

Felyn felt a slight tremor in his palm. He saw Daiyi lower her head slightly, burying it in her arms.

Her shoulders trembled gently, and her hair quivered nonstop.

She was laughing.

This somewhat absurd situation made it impossible for Daiyi to hold it in.

The only one unaffected in the room was Bernice. Once an enemy appeared, she would not be distracted by any of their provocations.

Seeing Bernice insist on blocking her, Eitani didn't waste any more words.

In an instant, Felyn saw a giant ball of light flash rapidly across the thin lines above both Bernice's and Eitani's heads.

The air seemed to be violently compressed and solidified for a moment, then it exploded.

A piercing purple light burst from Eitani's fingertips, and a magical attack powerful enough to distort space roared towards Bernice.

Bernice's white armor suddenly lit up, and countless fine sigil patterns began to operate. She didn't dodge but pushed forward with one hand, and a pure white barrier materialized out of thin air.

The moment the two forces collided, Felyn felt the world become quiet, even silent.

It was a silence that swallowed even the sound of his own heartbeat.

Then Felyn saw a light.

A blinding flash of purple and white erupted from the point of impact between the magic and the divine art. The roar of the explosion tore through the brief silence.

A circular shockwave swept out like the Grim Reaper's scythe, turning the super-popular dessert shop, [Karin's Witch], into ruins in almost an instant.

Felyn heard the sound of many things breaking: glass, display windows, counters, tables, and chairs.

"Bernice is strong, isn't she? She's one of our family's strongest guards," Daiyi whispered, moving closer to Felyn.

The spot where Daiyi and Felyn were was completely untouched, as if they were sitting in the front row watching a performance.

"Then what exactly does your family do?"

Even at a time like this, Felyn didn't forget to gather intelligence, truly putting his work above his life.

The collision of magic and divine art formed a strange purple and white cloud of light, with purple and white flashes constantly clashing within it.

This was human territory, after all, and Eitani didn't want to use magic that was too high-level, otherwise the impact would be too great.

But what she didn't realize was that as long as she appeared in the human world, as long as she used magic in front of everyone, an irreversible impact had already occurred. It had nothing to do with the level of magic.

In her fight with Eitani, Bernice found that she wasn't gaining any advantage, and was even at a slight disadvantage.

Bernice was a believer of the Mir Sect, a branch of the Space God's Church. Her preferred combat distance was mid-to-long range.

But Bernice didn't want to blow things out of proportion either, so she didn't create distance from Eitani.

This can't go on.

Both of them thought so in their hearts.

If this dragged on any longer, the kingdom's guards would surely arrive.

Eitani was the first to panic. Her original plan was to come to Felyn, teach him a good lesson, and then disappear from the human world.

But who would have thought that this troublesome person, Bernice, would appear.

She took a step back, placed her hand in front of her, and the magic in the air gathered at her fingertips, as if she were casting a teleportation spell.

She glared fiercely at Felyn. Why is this man so annoying!

He has angered me twice now, and I haven't even been able to teach him a lesson!

Next time, if you dare to come to the dungeon again, I will absolutely not let you go!

I, Eitani, daughter of the Demon King, swear it!

Seeing Eitani preparing to cast a teleportation spell, Bernice also took a step back, protecting Felyn and Daiyi. She just wanted Eitani to leave quickly, and then take Daiyi and Felyn away.

But the purple magic condensed at Eitani's fingertips suddenly changed its trajectory. With a wave of her left hand diagonally upwards, three dark purple magic arrows shot towards the only remaining load-bearing pillar in the shop.

What she cast was not teleportation magic, but an attack spell.

The moment Bernice's attention was drawn to this spell, Eitani's right hand simultaneously activated a seventh-tier teleportation spell.

Bernice hadn't expected that this magical beast in front of her could cast two spells at the same time, and by the time she reacted, it was already too late.

Magic covered Daiyi's figure, and she disappeared into the air along with Eitani.

Bernice's chest heaved up and down; the fight just now had consumed a lot of her energy.

She looked at the empty seat and sighed.

"Now this is trouble."
