People are scared in America, my uncle is Dante

Chapter 93 Mental Hospital

Carrie stood there, listening to the two's daily bickering, her light blue eyes swirling with indescribable emotions.

Ever since that day she caused such a disaster, she has been living in constant fear, even preparing herself to be handcuffed by the police or dissected like a guinea pig.

However, Patty not only did not treat her like a monster, but also bailed her out without hesitation.

And the man in front of her, named Suren, had resolved all the potential problems for her.

This was the first time in all her years of life that someone had so firmly protected her.

"Thank you... thank you all."

Carrie lowered her head, her voice barely audible, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"I will... I will definitely clean this place up spotless..."

……

The next day, Patty had already returned to school, leaving only Suren and Carrie at the agency.

She put on the apron left by Patty, held a rag in her hand, and worked with exceptional focus, as if this was the only way she could prove her worth.

Suren sat on the sofa, a ball of purple magic constantly changing shape in her right palm.

Sometimes it turns into scissors, sometimes into a stick.

This is a trick he figured out over the past two days, specifically for practicing refined control over magic.

Watching the magic power pulsating in his palm, Suren summoned the system panel.

Current points: 3500

[Demon Bloodline Awakening Level: 11%]

Side Quest: Sparta's Heavy Debts

Current progress: $12,500,000 / $100,000,000

With his gaze sweeping over the remaining points, Suren began to plan his next enhancement strategy.

Although he now wields the Thunder Sword [Alastor], his attack methods are still too limited in actual combat, and his sword moves are limited to the most basic slashing, cutting, and thrusting.

It can kill ordinary monsters directly, but when facing powerful enemies, its killing power is insufficient, and it is also monotonous and rigid, making it easy to be countered.

He browsed through the system shop, his gaze landing on the [Sword Saint Style] talent skill.

If he can exchange for the [Sword Saint Style], his attack methods will become more diverse.

Suren couldn't help but recall the skill lists from her previous life.

An impenetrable dance of death, sword energy tearing through the air, a million relentless thrusts, and even aerial slashes capable of dismembering people mid-air…

Once he learns these moves, it will be enough to fundamentally change his close-combat dominance.

However, ideals are often grand, while reality is often harsh.

The "Sword Saint Style" item in the system shop requires 20000 points to redeem.

Suren clenched his fingers, dispersing the magic in his palm. He seemed to have thought of something, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

The Spartans were born masters of weaponry, a warrior race.

Could this fighting style awaken as one's bloodline awakening level increases?

If I can really get it for free, then I can save this huge amount of points and use them to redeem other things, or to deal with bigger troubles in the future.

Alternatively, once he has enough magic power in his body and his control over magic power improves, he can try to develop his own sword techniques.

But that was all too far off. Suren put aside her thoughts on future plans and began to consider the current situation.

We now know how the demons evaded the angel council's detection.

Next, we need to investigate the organization behind this, and...

He took out a piece of scrap meat that he had previously collected from the mechanical monster.

Looking at the ouroboros mark on it, Suren decided to go ask Constantine if he recognized the symbol.

This method of combining demons, technological creations, and even some mystical elements is enough to show that this organization is by no means simple and must be investigated.

If they were able to send mechanical monsters to intercept and kill us this time, who knows what even more troublesome things they might come up with next time.

The enemy is in the dark while we are in the light; we must prepare for the worst.

But the most troublesome thing right now is the coming of Mammon, the son of Satan.

Constantine has been discharged from the hospital, given Angela's impatience.

To clear her sister's name, she would definitely be eager to go to Constantine.

Perhaps Constantine has already taken a trip to hell.

That's why the time for Mammon's arrival is fast approaching, perhaps even in the next few days.

He glanced at the mission description in his mind.

[Darkness is Coming - Node Quest: The Demon Prince's Ambition]

[Mission Description: Mammon, as a harbinger of darkness, attempts to cross boundaries and turn the human world into his private hunting ground.]

Mission Objective: Stop Mammon's incarnation ritual.

[Mission Rewards: 10000 points, Bloodline Awakening: 5%, Mammon's Original Sin Soul x1]

Looking at the list of mission rewards, a burning desire flashed in Suren's eyes.

The reward is so generous just for preventing Mammon from descending.

If I could take advantage of the opponent's weakened state and kill them, how generous would the reward be?

As for the spear of fate...

He was determined to obtain this divine artifact.

But you must not try to harm Mammon before he arrives, lest you be targeted by the archangel Gabriel.

After all, this is the most crucial key to Mammon's arrival.

However, in the original work, nobody cared about this at all.

Just wait patiently for everything to end, and he will naturally acquire it; there's no need to worry too much.

Whether it leads to overnight riches and a qualitative leap in combat power, or mission failure and a return to being a wage earner, this wave of events will determine the outcome.

"Buzzing—"

Just then, my phone, which was on the coffee table, suddenly vibrated.

Suren glanced at the caller ID; it really was exactly what she wanted.

"Cough cough..."

On the other end of the phone was Constantine's hoarse voice.

"Surren, I'm out of the hospital. That policewoman named Angela... things are getting complicated."

"It sounds like your condition is much better."

Suren got up from the sofa. "How is it?"

"..."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and after a few breaths, Constantine spoke again:

"Come to Ravenscroft Psychiatric Hospital for a detailed meeting."

The phone hangs up.
