The world doesn't need succubi to save it.

"Hahahahaha!"

"Stop dodging! Come on! Fight like a man!"

"Either you kill me, or I kill you!"

Chapter 224 Go and indulge yourself, young man!

"Kill the opponent..."

Oh.

"How barbaric."

Ning Feng watched the king approach him step by step, and a smile silently crept onto his lips.

Fight with the determination to kill the enemy...

Do you think it's difficult?

You're not some stunningly beautiful villain whose looks are so striking that everyone's moral compass is swayed by your appearance.

With your current appearance, do you think I would have any soft spot for you?

nonexistent!

Ugly villains have no human rights.

Besides, someone like you who isn't even human, I can't be bothered to listen to even the background dialogue.

"I can't be bothered with someone like you."

This is how it should have been.

But as Ning Feng thought about it, the smile that had been on his lips gradually faded into calm.

He wasn't unhappy; in his battle with Reinhardt, he rediscovered the joy of combat after a long time.

With each side gaining and losing, the situation is not exactly evenly matched, but it can be considered a back-and-forth battle.

If we say that Leinhardt's attacks are steady yet powerful, they are like a volcano about to erupt.

Ning Feng was using his speed advantage, like a black lightning bolt, to constantly attack the opponent's blind spots.

It's true that Leonhardt said he sensed the opponent's true intentions during the battle.

A mature warrior is able to truly understand the opponent's inner thoughts from their battle.

Moreover, this is mutual.

Not only could Reinhardt understand Ning Feng, but through repeated clashes, he was also able to comprehend the other party.

But the more he understood, the more silent he became.

The other person is too innocent.

It doesn't resemble a dark, undead creature at all.

Ning Feng couldn't sense any ghostly tricks from the other party; he was as pure as a sharp sword.

Or rather, the demeanor of a king.

Do not avoid.

impartial.

Grand and imposing.

Even though they are now nominal rivals, Ning Feng couldn't help but feel a faint envy for Lai Enhart.

I envy him for being able to fight entirely according to his own will.

I envy him for having the power to command battles so arbitrarily.

I envy... his ability to be so pure.

Once Lenhart chose to fight, all other distracting thoughts vanished from his mind, leaving only one thought remaining.

Just like every time he went to war.

Fight, and win.

There was no idea that I was forced to do it.

To be honest, Ning Feng was somewhat envious of such purity.

As a cunning strategist who prefers to fight with his brain, he would probably find it difficult to experience this kind of pure joy.

Moreover, his rapid thinking makes it impossible for him to let go of everything, and he can't even force himself to do it.

His ability to think quickly is both his strength and his weakness.

He couldn't experience that kind of joy, which is why he could suppress his thought process on many occasions.

The more you think, the less happy you become.

This is a cruel reality, but it is a reality that we have to accept.

However, envy cannot be a reason for him to change his original plans.

I admire heroes, but my current strength is not enough to qualify me to become one.

"This is really annoying."

Because of insufficient strength, one can only use intelligence to make up for the gap.

He could only suppress his fighting spirit...

Why suppress it?

The long-lost alluring voice echoed in his heart, throwing Ning Feng's thoughts into disarray and causing his movements to become somewhat distorted.

It seemed as if a black cat had sat on Ning Feng's shoulder and was whispering softly in his ear.

!

!

Distraction during battle is the biggest taboo, but Ning Feng still shamefully lost focus for a moment.

The sense of relief and joy in his heart made him realize once again what kind of feelings he truly had towards this despicable woman named "Ariana".

"……you're awake?"

Ning Feng swiftly soared into the air to evade the king's attack. Floating in mid-air, he silently turned his head, trying to find that familiar figure.

But there was nothing on his shoulders.

!

!

His high expectations were instantly replaced by disappointment, causing Ning Feng's expression to change.

Was I just hallucinating?

Ning Feng felt it was absurd. He couldn't possibly have fallen so low as to have auditory hallucinations due to excessive anticipation in his despair, could he?

"........."

【Oh my gosh~ Are you nervous?】

card.

What should have been a joyous reunion turned into a moment of worry for Ning Feng, who was concerned about his cardiovascular health.

My future will be ruined by this lousy cat sooner or later.

It's a real shame that such a bleak future is so clearly visible.

"You...come out here."

Ning Feng forced out these words through gritted teeth, trying hard to suppress his anger.

You son of a bitch, come out and fight me one-on-one!

Haha, don't be angry, I didn't do it on purpose~

As he smiled, Ning Feng's shoulder remained empty; the black cat did not appear.

After all, your meager amount of essence is simply not enough to satisfy them!

“...Speak properly.”

Hey hey hey.

In the dark space, the girl, who had grown slightly larger from her loli-like figure, lay lazily in a recliner, rocking back and forth.

In your words, the portion of faith power you gave me was useful, but not enough; it only allowed me to get to where I am now.

She played with her hair, then scrutinized her current figure with a judgmental gaze.

After thinking for a moment, she touched the size herself, then smiled with satisfaction and nodded gently.

very good!

Although she's still just a young, inexperienced girl, at least she's already able to go out and meet people.

If you want power, I'll give it to you.

"I'm your contractor, after all. How could I bear to see you being bullied like this?"

really?

I don't really believe it.

"...Just to confirm, you won't hurt me, will you?"

Haha, maybe!

If you're still worried, you can think about it from another perspective...

The girl felt every inch of her skin, but her expression remained unusually calm and unresponsive.

[Perhaps Ariana doesn't even exist, or perhaps she's just an excuse for you to vent your desires; it's all just your imagination.]

Since it's all an illusion, then the question of whether anyone will harm you doesn't exist.
