What do you mean by "this is a dating game"?

With burning golden eyes filled with rage, the Spellbreaker sheathed his sword, took two steps back, and kept his distance from the Skull-Hunting Maggot.

His longsword was rusted and stained.

The body fluids of the giant skull maggot are highly corrosive, and the once meticulously maintained blade is now damaged in many places, losing all its sharpness.

and so--

What exactly happened?!

Why would the leader of the Fire Palace leave his own territory and launch an attack on him?

I didn't do anything to it, did I?

What makes the lawbreakers even more desperate is their incredibly strong perception.

Is it because of visual deterioration that compensation has been made in other ways?

At the very beginning.

The Lawbreaker was unwilling to clash with the giant white maggot before him; his target was only the two humans.

He quietly concealed himself, without making a sound.

With his eyes fixed on the giant maggot, he retreated step by step.

I don't know if it's just my imagination.

The breaker discovered that he had a feeling every moment that "I am staring at this giant maggot," and the more he looked at the maggot, the more he felt like he was being stared at by the maggot.

That's amazing.

His invisibility technique was completely ineffective.

The giant maggot kept its sights on him, rolling and charging forward. The lawbreaker was forced to fight back, and the battle raged on until this point.

"Damn it... let's retreat."

The lawbreaker gritted his teeth.

"Forget about those two humans. Nefarian might have already issued the rallying cry and moved them to the 'Graveyard.' I'll go find Nefarian now and wipe them all out!"

In any case, I can't waste my time here.

"Hey!"

Just then, shouts rang out.

The one who broke the law was slightly taken aback. Suddenly, he felt dizzy and lightheaded, unable to lift his hands and his body was extremely stiff!

At the same time, the magic armor shone brightly.

With a sudden burst of power from the Demon-Slaying Essence, the demonic energy within his body dropped significantly, and the immense pressure on his shoulders dissipated considerably, allowing him to barely move his body.

But it was too late.

"Aww!"

The giant maggot lashed out with its tail, striking his waist.

Affected by the previous strange binding, the Breaker had nowhere to avoid it and could only raise his arm to try to block.

With a click.

The sound of bones breaking rang out crisply.

The Skull-Hunting Maggot is, after all, a leader-level monster; how powerful is its tail whip?

With tremendous force, the Spellbreaker spat out a mouthful of blood. He lost control of his body and rolled around in the forest until his back slammed hard against a tree, finally bringing him to a stop.

Such a tremendous impact is enough to shatter anyone's magic.

The black armor crumbled instantly, and his left hand hung limply at his waist. The one who broke the spell was truly a tough guy, remaining silent even in this situation.

He plunged the knife into the ground and struggled to his feet.

Golden Eyes glared with hatred as he looked in the direction from which the shouts were coming from.

There, a black-haired man swayed his hips and twisted his waist in a very seductive manner; it was clearly that male human, Sieg!

Sieg spread his five fingers and raised his hands.

One palm faces the Spellbreaker, the other palm faces the Skull-Hunting Maggot.

"open."

He whispered a sharp cry, and dark green magical lines formed between the Spellbreaker and the Skull-Hunter Maggot, linking the two together.

This is……

[Malicious Link]!

Malicious links can arbitrarily target specific objects, and the straight-line distance between the selected parties cannot exceed three meters.

Once the limit is exceeded, malicious links will be dragged, forcing them to move closer to each other.

The Skull-Hunting Maggot Leader-level monster is over eight meters long and over three meters in diameter, a true behemoth.

Sieg was too weak to move such a massive object.

But it can pull the lawbreaker.

Unable to actively perceive its surroundings, the Skull-Hunting Maggot lost its target after severely injuring the Spellbreaker.

It judged that it had driven away the scoundrels who dared to spy on it, and was crawling toward its territory when a spell descended from the sky and landed on it.

I still don't understand what's going on.

It suddenly realized that the gaze that had been spying on it earlier had appeared once again!

and--

Instead of running away, the thing lunged at it in a strange manner.

That's incredibly bold!

"Aww!"

The giant maggot roared, opened its turbine-like mouthparts, revealing rows of razor-sharp spiral teeth, and lunged forward.

There is no smoother picture than this.

Like a mortise and tenon joint, or gears meshing, the giant maggot took a bite and swallowed half of the lawbreaker.

The upper half goes into the abdomen, and the lower half goes into the soil.

Blood splattered and splashed, then everything returned to calm. The one who broke the law died without uttering a howl, silently returning to the underworld.

He desperately wanted to struggle.

But he was powerless to do anything about it.

His internal magic dissipated, and he was pulled by a strange, enormous force. With no leverage in mid-air, he could only fall in despair, watching himself fly towards the giant maggot's maw and be buried under its sharp teeth!

The giant maggot's esophagus writhed as it swallowed flesh and blood. It crawled silently, making rustling noises, and soon disappeared into the depths of the blood mist.

Under the moon in the woods, the night breeze caresses the green grass.

Grapefruit crossed her arms, her gaze serene.

She turned to look at Sieg: "Is it over?"

Sieg, still wanting more, said, "It's over."

"Daiko, that might sound a bit strange. But—"

Xiyou frowned, her face full of doubt: "May I ask, what is my role in this battle?"

How would I know!

Sieg looked her up and down: "How dare you ask that? What exactly are you doing here?"

"How strange! I'm a genius spellcaster from the Morning Star family, very powerful! When I used to work with adventurer groups, I was always the main damage dealer, the warriors held the line, the knights ensured I wasn't disturbed, and the buff specialists in the team were there specifically to provide me with buffs!"

Xiyou spread out one hand and began to recount her past tales of bravery.

She stared at the Arcane Eye and said, "But when I'm adventuring with you, I don't know what I should do... It was the same last time, and it's the same this time. Now I want to know, what exactly is my role in your eyes? What can I contribute to this team?"

"..."

That's a good question.

This stumped Sieg.

He hesitated for a moment, then said, "You are...you are, you are the ace!"

"Ace, ace, me?"

Grapefruit was shocked.

Sieg said seriously, "We haven't had much time to work together yet, and the opponents we've faced aren't strong enough. When we encounter truly formidable enemies in the future, I won't be able to handle them, and that's when you'll need to display your prowess and defeat them."

"Aren't our opponents strong enough?"

Grapefruit is just speechless.

Logvar of Death, monthly champion of the border region tournament.

The one who was only half left was even more outrageous; he was practically an invincible enemy!

If this isn't considered a formidable enemy, then what kind of formidable enemy does Sieg consider to be?

If we really encounter her, can we expect her grapefruit to display its divine power and defeat the enemy?

"If even you find this troublesome, then I'll be the first to run away."

Grapefruit was muttering something to itself.

She looked southeast and said, "I didn't expect things to go so smoothly. I wonder how Senior Nepha is doing... Ah, that old man wouldn't have gone back on his word and abandoned us, would he?!"

Sieg laughed: "Really?"

"Really? We don't even know him. He could do anything."

Is it possible?

Sieg didn't know the answer.

He lied. There's no cemetery at Scarlet Fortress; Nefarian will soon realize this, and with his intelligence, he should understand Sieg's good intentions.

Sieg hopes he is safe.

but……

"Nefah might not accept my goodwill, even if he understands my intentions. Gratitude, sincerity... he's an old-fashioned man."

Golden magic swept in, gathering in countless points, enveloping Sig and Grapefruit.

This is the [call to arms]!

"Ugh."

Sieg sighed as his body was being pulled; the teleportation spell had already been activated.

He looked southeast and thought, "Don't die, Nefarian."
