The weapons I forge are absolutely flawless.

"Huh? What does this have to do with me?"

Felix jumped up from his seat in a flash.

"You're the one who lost the blunt blade, it must be related to you!"

"I wasn't even aware of it at that time, it wasn't intentional at all!"

"Oh, so you think it's okay for someone to be alone and controlled by a monster?"

“Hmm—” Felix lowered his head, unable to refute.

"Alright, I'm not really going to pursue this matter."

Jessica brought everyone's attention back to her.

"I just want to ask you a question."

"Senior, please tell me."

Wiener listened attentively.

"That cleaver, Dun, shouldn't have any ability to transform or create clones, right?"

Jessica had only seen it twice and hadn't actually used it, so she didn't know the effect of the blunt blade.

“No.” Viner shook his head in denial. “The Cleaver is not as complex as the Lionheart; it is a very pure weapon.”

"That would be troublesome."

After hearing Wiener's explanation, Jessica's expression became serious.

Most demons use their own bodies as weapons and rarely rely on external objects.

The reason is simple: although human swords are sharp, they need to be replaced and maintained.

The demon race does not engage in production or manufacturing; they rely solely on their own strength.

Unlike humans, they don't have a clear division of labor. Heralds provide combat power, while craftsmen are responsible for logistical support.

Ordinary weapons are not very useful to demons; they are like toys to them, and they break after only two days.

Even if they occasionally captured a powerful weapon, they would mostly just use it as a trophy to show off.

Even though he is an anomaly among demons, he is a sword demon who painstakingly studies sword techniques in imitation of humans.

The "swords" it used were all made from ribs taken from its own body.

"What's wrong?" Wiener asked, puzzled.

“Although it’s slightly smaller, it used two cleavers at the same time. I suspect that it didn’t simply ‘find’ a weapon, but rather completely absorbed it,” Jessica speculated.

Devouring is an essential ability of the slime race.

If evolving into a demon enhanced its abilities in this area, then it's not impossible that it could use its own body to recreate the weapons it has devoured.

“The worst-case scenario is that I could become the second Sword Demon.” Jessica closed her eyes tightly, a sense of foreboding rising within her.

She wasn't sure if she had missed the best opportunity to seal it away.

However, the Sky Demon was no less troublesome than the Sword Demon, and Jessica was finding it difficult to decide which to choose.

In terms of overall strength, the Sword Demon may not be the strongest among demons, but it is the dangerous demon that has killed the most high-ranking human emblem users.

Its unparalleled swordsmanship, combined with its unique pair of weapons, gave it unparalleled killing efficiency.

Calling him the strongest demon in human form is no exaggeration.

This is why Vohors felt he had the victory in the bag.

If it weren't for Arios defeating him, who knows how many more emblem missions would have perished at his hands.

“There’s no need to be so pessimistic, senior,” Lisette quickly comforted Jessica when she saw her distressed expression.

"It has only just become a demon and is imprisoned in the dungeon. It won't amount to much in a short time."

"Even if it could grow to the level of the Sword Demon, the Hero can still destroy it just like he did when he defeated the Sword Demon."

"I hope so."

Jessica nodded slightly, barely acknowledging Listie's statement.

She then took a palm-sized lion cub from her chest, placed it on the table, and gently nudged its rump, driving it toward Vina.

"I will continue to search for its traces on the seventh and eighth levels of the dungeon, trying my best not to give it a chance to grow."

"I'd also like to trouble Junior Brother Vina to repair the Lion King's Heart as soon as possible."

"I'll notify my senior as soon as I fix it." Viner also realized the seriousness of the matter.

He then reached out and let the lion cub, transformed from the Lion King's Heart, climb onto his shoulder.

After this incident, none of them could concentrate on the meal.

After all the dishes were served, Jessica only ate a few bites before making an excuse to leave.

Aren't you eating either?

Looking at the mostly uneaten dishes on the table and the knife and fork that Veneresty had put down, Felix couldn't help but ask.

"We've already finished eating, so you don't need to rush. Just eat slowly."

Even Lisette couldn't help but envy Felix's carefree attitude, as if nothing could affect his good mindset.

"it is good!"

Chapter 218 The Imperial Princess Who Came to the Door

When dining together, Felix would pay a little attention to his image and control his eating speed.

Once he realized that no one would be competing with him anymore, he swept away the battlefield like a whirlwind.

Viner glanced at Felix, who was clutching his stomach and exclaiming how full he was, and at Lisette, who was bringing him a glass of water. She smiled slightly and then went out to pay the bill.

"This is your credit card, please keep it safe."

"Well, thank you."

Having learned from Jessica's experience of sneaking away to pay the bill early, Viner left her credit vouchers at the cafeteria before entering the private room, instructing that no matter how much she ate, the credits would be deducted from there first.

Although Jessica never mentioned it, one could easily guess that the vial of medicine was quite valuable.

It is neither reasonable nor ethical for us to let her continue to spend money.

After taking the student card from the other party, Wiener saw an unread message.

"Why would Anna suddenly message me, and so urgently ask me to come over..."

Viner initially didn't want to pay much attention, but considering that the academic credits for this award were practically a gift from Anna, she had no choice but to turn around and say hello.

“Anna suddenly has something urgent to discuss with me, probably business-related, but it won’t take too long,” Vena said apologetically as she approached Lisette.

"Then I'll take Felix back first and wait for you?"

Lisette glanced at Felix, who was too full to get up, and said understandingly.

"Well, I'll be back soon."

-----------------

The Valentin Chamber of Commerce's storefront on College Street.

When Wiener arrived, he found a sign on the door that said the business was temporarily closed.

After taking out his student card and confirming that Anna had said it was now, he knocked on the door.

"Bang, bang, bang."

The door opened when Wiener knocked for the third time.

“Vina?” Anna seemed somewhat surprised. “You got here so quickly?”

Although she mentioned "as soon as possible" in her message, Anna was prepared to wait for several hours, given Vina's usual style.

"You said you had something urgent, so I came directly from the cafeteria."

If Anna really had to wait until Vener arrived at the dormitory, she estimated that she wouldn't see him until evening.

But the situation is different now. In order to get there as soon as possible, Viña even ran over.

As Vina entered the shop, she saw two cups of tea on the table, quietly emitting wisps of steam.

He took a small sip of one glass, but didn't touch the other.

Vera, who was thirsty, unceremoniously picked up the untouched cup of tea.

“This…” Anna gently raised her hand, the words lingering on her lips.

"call--"

After finishing her tea, Viner finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to ask, "What brings you to me so suddenly?"

"It's not that I wanted to find you, it's..."

Just as Anna was about to explain, a gentle voice suddenly came from the shadows of the shelf.

"This must be Wiener, right?"

It was only then that Viner realized there were other people in the store.

If he had just paid a little attention, he would have realized that if Anna had come to him, there would have been no need to close the shop to customers.

With soft footsteps, a woman with cascading silver hair, dressed in a school uniform, and exuding an undeniable air of nobility and authority, emerged from behind the shelves.

"Your Royal Highness."

Upon recognizing the person, Wiener quickly bowed and greeted them.

In front of outsiders, Wiener maintains the most basic courtesy.

"It seems there's no need for me to introduce myself."

A slight smile played on Edel's lips as she looked Vina up and down, her gaze lingering briefly on the lion cub perched on Vina's shoulder.

He then said, "This should be considered our second meeting, right?"

Oh no, they've come knocking.

Wiener was startled.

"I was very offensive before..."

"Does Vena think I'm some kind of tyrant who would gouge out your eyes just because you glanced at me?"

Edel interrupted, "Don't worry, I haven't ascended the throne yet."

"..."

Wiener wondered how he was going to respond.

“Just kidding. Even according to Imperial law, there is no absurd provision that would convict someone of disrespect based solely on a glance, let alone within the academy.”

Edel gave Venus a way out and continued.

"There is no superior-subordinate relationship between us, please have a seat."

To avoid giving Vina too much to think about, Adele sat back down in her seat first.

In just a few words, the imperial princess had firmly grasped the power of discourse.

"...May I ask what business Your Highness has with me?"

Wiener, who had also taken his seat, took the initiative to ask questions.

“I said, we are all classmates within the college, there’s no need to address me with that title.”

Adele shook her head slightly.

"So, Senior Adel?"

"Wasn't Viner also calling Jessica 'senior sister'?"

Her Highness still seemed dissatisfied.

"Okay, I'll just call you Vena, and you can call me—"

“Your Excellency Edel,” Venere said before Edel could speak.
