He became the White-Haired Evil God after wearing the Seven Curses Rings.

A moment later, Xie Bai and his group walked out of the shop.

Feeling the warm sunlight outside, Kelos's eye finally twitched.

"I'm really interested in lolis...?"

Even now, he is still struggling with this issue.

Before meeting Xie Bai, he was confident that he would never have any inappropriate thoughts about a young girl like a loli.

As a genius who rose from humble beginnings to the top of the Dome Academy, his character and sense of justice are unparalleled.

Regardless of the circumstances, his guiding principles are: never betray one's partners, never abandon the weak, never lose one's way when faced with temptation, and never back down when confronted with a powerful enemy.

How could someone like him possibly have feelings for a little girl?

"No... I think I've forgotten something."

Kelos suddenly came to his senses.

Xie Bai, she doesn't seem to be an ordinary little girl.

He still remembered the scene when Xie Bai wiped out thirty assassins with a single blow.

Those assassins weren't just any Tom, Dick, or Harry; they were top-ranking figures in the assassination association.

In the trials and tribulations that Kelos had gone through before, he had dealt with these guys quite a bit.

He often barely escaped with his life while being pursued by two or three assassins, but occasionally he managed to break through in the heat of battle and kill one or two of them.

But the white-haired loli in front of him could easily wipe out these assassins who had been bothering him for so long.

The thought sent a chill down Kelos's spine.

He had been so captivated by her appearance that he had completely forgotten about her potential danger.

Such a person should not be viewed with ordinary eyes...

After an internal struggle, Kelos finally managed to circumvent the problem.

Xie Bai walked to the side, his gaze casually sweeping over the surroundings.

She didn't notice Kelos's complex inner thoughts.

Just now, her task panel popped up again.

【When the Dome Is About to Collapse-】

[Sudden Side Mission: Dark Snake Eyes]

On your way to the Dome Academy, you aroused the suspicion of the mastermind. To nip the potential danger in the bud, "Dark Serpent Eyes," the top assassin of the Assassination Association, and other assassins arrived in Villanova.

Current objective: Locate and subdue "Dark Snake Eyes" (Incomplete)

[Additional Objective: Eliminate all remaining assassins]

[Additional Objective: Ensure "Kailos" survives]

[Additional objective: Ensure Nemo's survival]

[Additional Objective: Ensure "Ivy's" survival]

"Did I alert the mastermind beforehand? And this assassination association... I feel like I've seen it somewhere before?"

Xie Bai recalled for a while and confirmed that he did not remember hearing about any assassination association.

"But why are there suddenly two unfamiliar names among the mission objectives?"

Although he didn't quite understand what the connection was between these two extra people and the mission, Xie Bai decided to keep an eye on them since they had appeared on the mission objective.

Under the sweeping gaze of the boundless floating light, she could sense the movements of everyone in Villanovari.

Because she didn't know the other party's specific information, she wasn't sure which figure was the "Dark Snake Eyes" she was looking for.

"But I don't need to rush. I'll just go wherever there's a battle and look for it. Or..."

She looked up at Kelos in front of her.

"Having this famous person parade around on the street to attract the other party to come over is also a viable option."

At that moment, Kelos, who was walking ahead, suddenly felt a chill.

He seemed to have just sensed an extremely dangerous idea.

"Never mind, I guess I was overthinking it."

He immediately shook off his inner thoughts and turned his attention forward.

……

the other side.

Nafi sat at an outdoor table outside the restaurant, elegantly sipping a glass of light fruit wine.

"Hmph... Luckily, I was more skilled and managed to escape from that tavern."

Her gaze swept over the passersby.

"Speaking of which, did Master Vesparo really suffer a backlash from divining Ivy? I've come all this way, and I don't seem to have seen any backlash at all."

Thinking of this, Nafili downed the glass of light fruit wine in one gulp.

"Never mind, perhaps it's because Master Vesparo is getting old and his strength is not what it used to be."

She got up from the chair.

"Let me see what kind of strength this Ivy has."

As soon as he finished speaking...

The shadow beneath Neferi's feet began to spread out gradually.

The people around seemed oblivious, letting the shadow climb onto them.

Moments later, dark shadows filled the area around Neferi.

Dark Kingdom

Centered on Neferi, a kingdom composed of shadows gradually spread out.

Those who were entangled in the shadows have now all been transformed into shadow puppets, becoming Neferi's henchmen.

"These days, what assassin would still need to do it themselves? Wouldn't that be asking for trouble if they weren't already exposing themselves quickly enough?"

Neferi turned and walked into the shadows, merging herself into this world of shadow.

Relying on the ever-expanding Dark Kingdom, Neferi gradually came to take notice of Villanova.

……

at the same time.

Ivy and Nemo arrived at the gates of Villanova.

After a series of twists and turns, the two were finally getting closer to their destination, Tianshang Mountain.

"Ms. Ivy, are you really confident you can find out where Keros is?"

When Nemo asked her a question, Ivy immediately turned around and said...

"What do you mean by that? We're almost at our destination, and suddenly you're doubting your teacher's abilities?"

Nemo shook his head.

"That's not what I meant. It just suddenly occurred to me that this matter isn't so simple. There's no way the other side wouldn't be aware that we'd be looking for Kelos."

As he spoke, he looked at Ivy's delicate face.

"It might be a bit dangerous if you're alone, teacher."

Ivy narrowed her eyes slightly in response to Nemo's explanation.

"You've come this far and you're only just realizing this problem? Sigh... it seems your brain really is dumber than I thought."

Upon hearing this, Nemo looked at Ivy with some surprise.

"Teacher, you... you were aware of all this long ago? And you were already prepared?"

Upon hearing this, Ivy put her hands on her hips triumphantly.

"Hmph! Now you finally see how powerful your teacher is!"

As she spoke, she walked to the other side and took out a deck of gold cards.

"Let me tell you something even more amazing. Even if I don't go to the other side of the mountain, I can still figure out where Kelos is from where I am."

Seeing Ivy's smug look, Nemo was speechless.

"So, Ms. Ivy, all that stuff you did before... was just a scam to empty my wallet?"

Ivy fiddled with the floating cards and gently shook her head.

"How can you say that? I only came here because the success rate is higher closer to here. Otherwise, I wouldn't normally step out of the academy."

As she spoke, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Alright! I've found Keros's location!"

Seeing that Ivy had found out where Keros was in just a few seconds, Nemo, who had been speechless, immediately perked up.

Where is he?

Ivy continued adjusting the cards, her brows furrowed slightly.

"Hmm... according to the results of the Fate cards, his location seems to be..."

Ivy paused.

"Villanova, uh... this is it."

After saying that, she raised her head and looked back at the city behind her.

Nemo followed Ivy's gaze and turned to look.

The next second, his pupils suddenly contracted sharply.

At this moment, Villanova was completely swallowed up by a huge shadow.
