Clark gritted his teeth and handed a key that shimmered with starlight to the devil.

"I've calculated that the starlight intensity the day after tomorrow will barely meet the criteria for opening the treasure."

"But things will never go that smoothly."

"A fierce battle is inevitable for us. You focus on offering the key and treasure to His Majesty the Demon King, and I will buy you some time!"

"Honey, you look especially cool when you're being tough."

Orina said with a grin, "It's second only to the time when Saliye beat me so badly I had to run away with my tail between my legs."

"Stop talking nonsense!"

"Alas, this won't work."

Under Clark's incredulous gaze, Olena tossed the key back.

“I will teach you how to communicate with the Demon King to make a sacrifice, and I will block Sally and Garfield for you.”

"Darling, leave everything to me."

"Evil will prevail, yeah!"

"..."

"Hey, why do you look so dazed?"

"Olina, why...why are you helping me like this?"

"The key I gave you is indeed real."

Clark's mind was in turmoil; the devil's illogical behavior had truly baffled him.

"Are you still asking this kind of question now?"

Orina said gently, "You know the answer in your heart."

What a joke! You demon, you think you'd fall in love with a human like me?

Impossible, this is... this is just a sweet lie!

'...'

'Ha, what are you thinking about?'

'Am I no longer worth her patiently lying?'

So, so...

Clark opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.

"Hehe, my silly darling is also very handsome."

"Stop daydreaming, I'll tell you how to perform the sacrifice."

.............................................

The moon is dark and the wind kills the night.

The little girl didn't say a word the moment she saw Clark and the demon.

The Light of Miracles interfered with Orina, while the Light of Life empowered her, and she charged directly at Clark.

Garfield reacted quickly, waving his staff lightly, casting Slow, Mud Swamp, and Mind Maze...

Following the pre-arranged tactics, we would do whatever it took to delay the demons.

Vivian did not intervene rashly. After casting an energy shield on herself, she stayed far away from the center of the battlefield.

"?!"

The fist that created countless afterimages was caught by Olina with one hand. She was completely unaware of the interference from the Miracle Light, and the barrage of spells thrown by Garfield was like a gentle breeze to her.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the girl wanted to call for help.

But who knew...

After being casually glared at by the demon, the black dragon, which had been pampered by the church and was now hiding in the night, didn't utter a sound and slunk away.

'I'll get it spayed/neutered when I get back!'

The girl was furious. She tried to get around Orina, but the succubus slapped her tail and sent her flying.

After scrambling to her feet, feeling dizzy and disoriented, Sasha's first thought was—great! The tail's out, this guy's finally been exposed!

However, she soon sensed that something was wrong.

This succubus seems a bit too powerful.

"Hmph, I won't let you interfere with him."

The succubus said with a smile, "This road is blocked."

Clark was overjoyed as he drew strange patterns on the ground with his staff and muttered incantations after the battle began.

Olena's strength far exceeded his expectations; even Sally and Garfield combined seemed somewhat inadequate against her.

"Honey, don't get distracted!"

Quickly regaining his composure, Clark unleashed his full potential.

The bizarre and tongue-twisting incantation was flawless from beginning to end. Forty-three seconds later, Clark bit his fingertip.

Placing the key, stained with his own blood, in the center of the magic circle, the man cried out, "Great Matilda, I offer you this key to the treasure, along with the treasures of the stars!"

"Please grant me your favor, and let me and Olina... become... become superior, uh..."

Volume 1: Chapter 297 Almsgiving

Life force cascaded down like a waterfall, while the decaying yet powerful soul was slowly peeled away.

Struggling to stay upright, Clark stared intently at the smiling demon approaching him.

"Why......"

The truth is now clear: Olina has deceived herself. The so-called 'Great Matilda' is probably not the Demon King, but the succubus herself.

But why?

We agreed to start over in a new world, we agreed to become high-ranking demons together and travel to various worlds, so why?

While he could rationally accept Olina's betrayal, Clark found it utterly unacceptable emotionally!

"Hmm, why is that?"

Gazing at the man's face, filled with despair and pain, the demon trembled with excitement.

"Darling, I do love you."

"But......"

"Ha, how foolish I was! You're only after the treasure and my soul!"

After saying that, Clark collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

Are you proud of yourself?

You really should be proud.

To be able to manipulate the great Arcane Emperor so skillfully is truly impressive.

However, I haven't surrendered yet.

Closer, just a little closer.

Ordinary arcanists all have life-or-death techniques, and of course I do too!

"Treasure, soul?"

"It's best to have that kind of thing, but it doesn't matter if you don't."

Olina said gently, "My dear, do you know why all the kings who cooperated with succubi met with bad ends?"

"..."

"Succubi crave love, and they are unconsciously drawn to kings who are either wise or tyrannical, cowardly or cold-hearted."

"Then, we'll destroy him."

"Varied......"

"There's nothing we can do, this is just how we express our love."

"If you like someone, you should destroy them completely, destroy their body and soul, watch them suffer and struggle, watch them be ruined and disgraced."

"Darling, I don't expect you to understand."

"but......"

Gently stroking Clark's face, the succubus murmured, "I love you."

Orina is right here. If you want to kill her, now's the time!

Clark roared inwardly, but his clenched fists slowly loosened.

Really, are you going to kill her?

What would killing her change?

'I'm going to die anyway. Rather than be blasted away by the archangels, I'd rather die in her arms.'

With a long sigh, Clark closed his eyes.

"Honey, this is a special lap pillow for you."

.............................................................

"Third prince, among all the princes, you have the best aptitude."

"After I leave, you will become the most powerful arcanist in the world!"

Faced with the emperor's praise, the young prince couldn't help but show a proud expression.

"Father, when will you teach me the magic of the stars?"

"this one"
