The Scent of Mystra
The Ancient Temple is located to the north.
A dark and chilling place of imprisonment.
Chesia listened calmly to the whistling wind in the cave.
She held a pair of thick, velvety horns in her hands.
His eyes were filled with contemplation.
As Eastern Devil known for her cunning and cold-bloodedness, Chesia certainly understands that there is no such thing as a perfect plan in this world.
In the course of carrying out a conspiracy, various variables are always inevitable.
But this is the first time she has encountered such a huge change.
"That man..."
"Unfathomable".
Just thinking about Rose, who was brutally beaten to death by the dragons and stone pillars at the edge of the square...
Chesia felt a chill run down her spine.
Her senses are always very sharp.
In the vast "Between Purgatory," even the Blood Crow Lord had never felt such immense pressure from any other man! It was from that grab and that slash during the sneak attack.
If she had hesitated even slightly, what would have been left behind would have been more than just a nail clipping.
Now.
Chesia knew very well—
With Roger's intervention, the Blood Crow faction's plan to create a monster lair on New Yuntai Mountain was doomed to failure.
She was unwilling to take the risk of confronting Roger head-on.
But I wouldn't mind causing him some trouble.
"Maybe."
"I will find another opportunity to make a move."
Chesia calmed down.
She stared at the pair of antlers in her hand with a kind of fascination.
Finally, without any mercy, it was placed in the center of the complex magic circle at the entrance of the cave.
The next second.
A chorus of ghosts!
A restless wind rose within the cave.
A large number of "vengeful spirits of Ancient Ancestors" emerged inside the cave.
They emit a dark green fluorescence.
They all rushed to the vicinity of the cave entrance.
They cursed or pleaded with Chesia.
Although I don't know much about the barrier of the Wilderness God.
But destruction is always easier than construction.
Chesia knew very well that as long as she turned the horn in her hand, these vengeful spirits that had been suppressed for countless years would burst out of the cave.
Urged on by instinct.
These vengeful spirits will rush to densely populated areas in the wilderness at top speed! These special spirits possess the expertise of "possession".
Those possessed by it will be transformed into "yin-shit ghosts" with a small amount of rationality.
These hidden messages were told to her by the Sika Deer God when he fell from grace.
Now it has become Chesia's last trump card in this operation.
Once the Wilderness faction has a large number of Damp Ghosts.
Not to mention the population decline.
The internal chaos alone is enough to keep them in turmoil for a while.
so.
That man will surely prevent the appearance of the damp ghost, right?
"As long as he's willing to put in the effort on these vengeful spirits."
"My chance has come."
Thinking about this...
Chesia couldn't help but want to gently tap the surface of her fuzzy nail with her middle fingernail—but at that moment she suddenly realized that her most beloved middle fingernail had been cut off by that hateful man!
"We must not let him off easily."
"Since you've injured my finger, why don't you become my finger instead..."
Thinking about this...
A deep, wicked smile spread across her face.
She waited there for a while longer.
Only when the vengeful spirits grew impatient did she suddenly tilt her head, her ears twitching slightly, and then her right hand began to exert force—
The pure white downy horns shone with a dazzling light.
An ancient seal originating from the Wilderness Temple has been quietly opened.
The next second.
She sensed something not far behind her.
The presence of Roger has appeared!
She then gave a slight smile.
Then he promptly disappeared from the spot.
All Roger was left with was the elusive silhouette of a red and black high heel!
Hint: You have discovered the 'antlers of the Sika Deer God '
"Insight (mushroom horn): Possesses the effect of strongly tonifying kidney deficiency and treating lower back pain."
"Qi Divination Technique (Horn): This item is the key to the Wilderness Seal of the 'Demon Refining Cave'."
"Sixth Sense: You sense that Chesia has ulterior motives for releasing the ' Ancient Ancestors,' and she harbors strong malice towards you."
"Chesia ..."
Roger charged very fast.
His first reaction was to twist the horn back.
But when Chesia left.
The desolate magic array at the entrance to the Demon Refining Cave has already become ineffective!
Roger quickly sensed everything around him.
Just to be on the safe side.
He even cast a divination! Fortunately, information about the Demon Refining Cave was not blocked.
Very soon.
Roger then figured out the strange occurrences and their cause here!...
"Demon Refining Cave" was originally a relic from the Zen Gate era.
It contains many powerful seals.
After the decline of the Zen Gate.
The Wilderness Temple has taken over this area.
At that time, the seal inherited from the Zen Gate was already in a very bad state.
From time to time, the vengeful spirits of the ancestors would emerge and wreak havoc on the area.
So the Sika Deer God sealed this place again with the power of the wilderness.
As for why not just clean it thoroughly...
It's possible that the Demon Refining Cave itself contains many secrets of the Zen Gate.
Even the people of the Wilderness Temple dared not approach easily.
that's all.
As time goes by.
The seal of the Zen Gate is nearing collapse, leaving only the seal of the Wilderness Temple to support it independently.
Fortunately, most of the demons in the Demon-Refining Cave were dead.
Only a few vengeful spirits, difficult to completely annihilate, continue to struggle.
After the Sika Deer God defected.
The seal here was already much weaker.
Chesia's actions only accelerated this process.
Once these vengeful spirits escape...
The residents of Tongma Town are bound to suffer!
"Are you watching how I handle this?"
Outside the cave.
Roger sneered inwardly.
He quickly tucked in his antlers.
now.
The exit of the Demon-Refining Cave is already teeming with a massive number of vengeful spirits!
They were howling wildly.
He forcefully tore at the few remaining, thin seals.
Roger carefully scanned the area but found no trace of Chesia.
This is actually a very rare thing.
You know, the devil is notoriously pungent...
Especially for a demon of Chesia's caliber, the flames of purgatory follow her wherever she goes, making it really difficult to leave no trace.
Between thoughts.
"Sizzle!"
Such a sound came from the seal.
A vengeful spirit reached out its claws at Roger.
Roger pondered for a moment.
I couldn't resist giving them the middle finger.
In a flash.
The Lava Spray struck the vengeful spirit squarely in the face! The spirit struggled for a moment.
He was ultimately burned to death by the Ancient Dragon Flame!
"You have killed the vengeful spirit of an Ancient Ancestors."
"Your resistance to depression has slightly improved."
"It's got health benefits again..."
Roger was utterly speechless.
He looked at the struggling vengeful spirits, his brow furrowing slightly. "There are far too many of these trashy monsters..."
"It must be at least a hundred thousand!"
"Etc..."
That moment.
Roger's expression changed drastically—
From the initial disappointment.
It turned into uncontrollable ecstasy!
"Roger? What happened?"
It was at this moment.
Dorothy's panting voice came from behind him.
The seal at the cave entrance was about to be completely torn apart.
Roger finally stopped hesitating.
He turned around and gave a reassuring gesture.
Then he ventured alone into the Demon Refining Cave! With a whoosh, a swift shadow swept past the cave entrance.
To force a path through the vengeful spirits! That feeling...
It's like running inside a fruit jelly!
"Hiss hiss hiss!"
This action captivated almost all the vengeful spirits.
Under the temptation of possession.
All the vengeful spirits rushed towards Roger!
It's a pity.
They couldn't even break through the spontaneous defenses of the Force Shield and the Queen's Right Hand.
Not to mention the natural resistance to spirits that Roger possessed due to his various personalities!
In the blink of an eye.
Roger rushed into the heart of the Demon-Refining Cave.
The space inside was actually much larger than he had imagined! He found an open space and stopped.
Between breaths.
He was surrounded by crazed, vengeful spirits!
"That's about enough..."
Roger thought to himself.
The next moment.
He opened his arms.
It abruptly activated its Second Form: the Sub-Angel! A dazzling white light cleaved through the darkness like a sharp blade! When the Sub-Angel, enveloped in holy light and white wings, appeared in the center of the vengeful spirits...
Instead of being afraid, they attacked even more frantically! They wanted to tear off the Sub-Angel's wings and take over this sacred body.
"What an arrogant and vengeful ghost..."
Roger flapped his wings and cleared the surrounding area.
Then I opened the data panel and quickly started working on it.
"Hint: Are you sure you want to use the ' Renewing the Previous Bond Ticket ' on the 'Grievous Spirit of Ancient Ancestors '?"
"Please specify the target for rekindling the relationship... The target selected is: Sea Slug."
"The Sin Mark attribute has been changed. You can now obtain 'Qi' by killing the 'vengeful spirits of the Ancient Ancestors '..."
Note: The maximum number will be slightly less than that of Sea Slug.
The next moment.
Roger abruptly folded his wings, and the white light quickly receded amidst the clamor of the vengeful ghosts.
These vengeful spirits, oblivious to their own mortality, are still clamoring.
When they saw Roger fold his wings and bury his head, they thought he was weak and immediately swarmed forward like a tide!
Snap! Snap! Snap! That was the sound of vengeful spirits clawing at the Sub-Angel.
"You want my feathers that much...?"
"Then let's each have one!"
A thought flashed through my mind.
The sun-like "cocoon of light" began to spin rapidly!...
"The Sub-Angel: Final Judgment!"...
Whoosh! Tens of thousands of feathers began to be fired wildly.
In less than 30 seconds.
72,000 feathers poured out into the air!
Nearly 100,000 "vengeful spirits of Ancient Ancestors" were nailed to the stone walls of the Demon-Refining Cave!
Because some feathers pierced through more than one vengeful spirit in one go!
"Aaaaaah!"
The screams were deafening.
At the center of the cocoon of light.
Roger flapped his bare wings.
With a solemn expression, he dispelled his Second Form!...
"Final Judgment: The Feathered Sword's piercing attack failed to slay the 'vengeful spirit of the Ancient Ancestors '."
"Note: The resilience of the Ancient Ancestors's vengeful spirit has been detected to be 0. Piercing with the feather sword will provide a 'imprisonment' effect for at least 4 hours."
"Not a single one was killed... The Final Judgment only served to imprison them?"
"The vengeful spirit of good meat!"
"Vilan is still the best. Even the Botulinum Toxin Zombie aren't this meaty."
Although Roger was aware of the damage inflicted by "Feather Sword Piercing," the scene still made him feel a little sorry for his feathers—
This time, he ejaculated completely.
I don't know when the next batch will be available.
"But it's fine this way."
"Finally, I have the chance to raise a Red Moon..."
Roger then surveyed the surrounding terrain.
This area is strategically located at the intersection of the exit and the depths of the cave.
As long as he stays here.
No matter what kind of monsters or demons they want to get out, they all have to get past Roger.
And then there are those vengeful spirits nailed to the wall, unable to move.
Roger, of course, gladly picked up the Red Moon! It was rare to find so many lambs to the slaughter.
We can't waste it!
And so it was.
Roger's figure began to dart around on the wall.
Wherever they went.
The sword light was all Red Moon! Swish, swish, swish! Crimson replaced the holy white light and became the main color in the Demon-Refining Cave.
He began grinding monsters tirelessly.
In any case, the vengeful spirits had lost the ability to resist.
And with the blessing of the Taiyi Separating Fire Blade and the Ancient Dragon Flame.
Red Moon demonstrated extremely high monster-killing efficiency.
Roger also completed the task quite easily.
When you're tired or weak, just take a sip of "the Queen's Holy Water".
After drinking it, you'll be a vigorous and energetic hero again!
Two minutes later.
"You have killed one vengeful spirit of Ancient Ancestors, bringing your total to 980 Ancient Ancestors spirits killed. Your milestone - the Sorcerer - has set a new record."
"You have gained 1 point of Qi (total 980 points)."
"Soul Eater (Red Moon): After absorbing and refining a total of 1000 ' Soul Threads ', do you wish to summon the ' Red Moon Ghost King '?"
"So that's 1000?"
"Such fast progress."
Roger suppressed his surging emotions.
I decisively chose to summon! The next second...
A blazing purple flame erupted from the Crimson Moon Blade.
Not long after.
A demon king with red hair and a green face appeared on the blade.
Roger took a look.
This is a 1-star Red Moon Ghost King.
Its description is "Red Moon increases damage to spirits by 30%".
There was nothing else.
Roger wasn't in a hurry.
Chesia didn't make a move.
He just kept scrolling like crazy.
Less than five minutes.
He farmed 2000 Soul Threads! After choosing to summon.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Three Red Moon Ghost King appeared on the blade!
They look a bit crowded.
So Roger very considerately chose to merge them into one! (On the data panel.)
"Hint: By consuming 3 1-star Red Moon Ghost King, you have obtained 1 2-star Red Moon Ghost King."
"Spirit Breaker: Red Moon's damage to spirits increases by 100%"
"Coordinated Attack: A 2-star Ghost King can leave the Red Moon and launch a coordinated attack with you within a 20-meter radius."
"This is interesting!"
Roger looked at the increasingly powerful Red Moon Ghost King on the blade.
They were getting more and more into it! As they did so, more of the Red Moon Ghost King's attributes gradually emerged.
that's all.
Time passed by, second by second.
The number of vengeful spirits on the walls was decreasing rapidly.
"What strange humans..."
"Doesn't he ever get tired?"
In the darkness.
Chesia frowned slightly.
Actually, the moment when the opponent used their angel form and shot out all their feathers was an opportunity to strike.
But she restrained herself.
She always felt that this man's every move had a fishy air about him.
Chesia herself is someone who really enjoys using scheming and trickery.
Therefore, I am very familiar with this taste.
Therefore, she hesitated to make a move.
But letting the enemy continue killing like this is not a solution.
not to mention.
Looking at Roger's genuinely happy expression, Chesia was filled with doubt:
Why would someone like that exist?
"Are human heroes... beings who feel genuine joy when slaying monsters?"
She decided to harass Roger.
certainly.
She won't take action herself.
With her authority, it would be easy for her to order some Lesser Devil or blood crows to lure the demons deep within the Demon Refining Cave! Thus...
A short while later.
A mournful howling sound came from the darkness! It was a large group of lower-level vengeful spirits!
Perhaps it sensed the pain of its companions who were nailed to the wall.
These vengeful spirits dared not approach Roger.
They only dared to rush out while hugging the wall!
Roger saw this.
Without even looking, he threw a "Army Breaker" attack! Whoosh!
Red Moon's aura blades lifted up all the vengeful spirits clinging to the walls! This was due to the Ghost King's enhanced damage targeting spirits.
With this single Army Breaker, all the vengeful spirits collapsed to the ground!
Roger's eyes lit up immediately.
"Such high efficiency!"
This thought came to mind.
He simply found a suitable angle.
A series of "Army Breaker" attacks were unleashed at the vengeful spirits on the wall! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Red Moon's Blade Intent was completely depleted.
The kilometer-long air blade acted like an eraser, wiping the monsters off the walls completely!
"Broken!"
"He found a more efficient way to hunt..."
Chesia was so angry she wanted to grind her teeth.
But the next second...
Her thoughts shifted slightly. "The power of that knife has been exhausted..."
"He's in a great mood right now, which is a perfect opportunity for me."
"This might be an illusion."
"Perhaps..."
"It's a flaw!"
Chesia's mind raced.
Although she is skilled in cunning, she never hesitates; once she makes a decision, she acts immediately!
In the dark cave.
Suddenly, a blinding red light appeared.
That was a staggering Elite Grade "vengeful spirit"! It seemed to be attracted by the temptation to leave the cave, but was also intimidated by Roger's imposing presence, leaving it in a dilemma.
While Roger's gaze was drawn to the Soul Nest...
Chesia decisively activated her unique authority specialization—
"Parasite Shadow: If the target's current emotion matches any of the following—'Pride,' 'Curiosity,' 'Furious,' 'Joy,' or 'Sadness'—you can parasitize their shadow and launch an attack!"
In a short while.
She appeared silently in Roger's shadow.
However, the next second...
A monster with red hair and a blue face suddenly appeared in front of her!
It slapped Chesia across the face.
Although the defenses were not breached.
But it successfully caught Roger's attention!...
"Guardian Blade: Red Moon Ghost King has discovered an attacker!"
"Good heavens..."
"Even my senses have been clouded!"
Roger looked down.
The Crimson Moon Blade was already empty.
He felt a chill run down his spine.
He swung his sword at the shadow.
In a hurry.
Chesia calmly completed the retreat!
The Red Moon sets.
Only a lock of her long hair remained! Roger grabbed the hair and sniffed it.
The Ultimate Hunter pinpointed the target's exact location! "Over there!"
Roger dashed forward with two consecutive blinks, and Red Moon slashed down like lightning.
Chesia, who was hiding in the crevice of the stone wall, was taken aback.
Her body rapidly became ethereal.
But Roger's "Seize the Initiative" proved effective.
I still can't avoid getting stabbed!
At a critical moment.
Chesia seemed to realize something, and she suddenly tilted her head—
final.
The Red Moon swept across her neck.
A wound, still burning with Ancient Dragon Flame, was left behind! Swoosh! Chesia's figure blurred and completely disappeared from the Demon Refining Cave! Plop plop plop! A few drops of bright red blood fell.
Ultimately, it fell into Roger's hands.
"Ultimate Hunter: You've discovered that the Eastern Devil Chechnya has escaped to Blood Crow Castle..."
"Another cunning old fox who likes to leave himself an out."
"This is the taste of Mystra..."
Roger sighed solemnly.
He immediately composed himself and ignored Chesia, who had fled.
Instead, they focused their attention on clearing out the remaining vengeful spirits—
When you have sufficient physical strength and energy.
Once you've accumulated 20 layers of Blade Intent, you can use Army Breaker once.
Not to mention Roger also had the blessing of being a "cave cleaning master"!
In less than an hour.
The vengeful spirits in the Demon-Refining Cave were completely wiped out!
The number of vengeful spirits who died at Roger's hands has exceeded 100,000! (Data bar).
"Notification: Your previous relationship has been successfully rekindled; your Qi has increased by 40,000 points!"
"Your Qi level has exceeded 80,000 points. Would you like to open the sixth acupoint now?"
Roger decisively chose to deny it.
After the sixth aperture opened, the quantity doubled again! He could hold on a little longer! Compared to the already abundant essence within his body.
He was more concerned about the situation of the Red Moon Soul Eater!...
"Soul Eater: Your current number of Soul Threads is 102496."
Option 1: Convert Soul Threads into the base attributes of Red Moon
Option 2: Summon 1 Red Moon Ghost King
"Let's not rush into things like basic attributes..."
"After all, the Ghost King has just made a contribution."
"We must not let down those who have made great contributions!"
Roger rubbed his hands together excitedly, selected the base number, and then chose "One-Click Summoning"! The next second...
A flood of information rushed past Roger!
"Summoning: You have obtained 78 1-star Red Moon Ghost King."
Synthesis: You have obtained 27 2-star Red Moon Ghost King.
"Warning: Combine 3 four-star Demon Kings into 1 five-star Demon King?"
Note: Synthesis of 4-star or higher may have a failure rate and a very small chance of mutation;
Failure will result in the loss of at least one 4-star Demon King; the extent of the mutation is unknown.
"Ah, this..."
"Want to take a gamble?"
Roger started to have a dilemma.
He actually quite dislikes this kind of uncertainty.
He would rather the system tell him—
Farming 500,000 Soul Threads guarantees a 5-star Ghost King, so I'm not willing to gamble with nearly 30,000 Soul Threads.
But the mechanics of Soul Eater Devouring are there.
Roger didn't have a good solution either.
"Actually, three 4-star Demon Kings are pretty good too."
"It's just a bit crowded on the Red Moon."
Roger glanced at the attributes of the 4-star Ghost King.
He hesitated for a while.
Finally, unable to contain himself any longer, he slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "I bet it's fucking good!"
The next second.
He started working on the data panel.
"Notification: Consuming 3 four-star Demon Kings, synthesizing 1 five-star Demon King..."
"Synthesis failed! You have lost one 4-star Demon King!"
"Damn it!"
That moment.
Roger really wants to chop off his hand!
Looking at the two innocent-looking ghost kings on the Red Moon.
His heart ached terribly! But the next second...
The two ghost kings suddenly twisted together.
Immediately afterwards.
A golden light flashed from the Red Moon!
"Notification: The Quinan Star's Blessing is in effect..."
"Soul Eater: You have successfully synthesized one five-star Ghost King using two four-star Ghost Kings!"
"The Quinan Star's Blessing has vanished..."
"This will work?"
Roger felt a mix of emotions.
He always thought that "The Quinan Star's Blessing" was just a "professional polisher".
I never expected it could come in handy at such a crucial moment!
It's a pity.
That's all for now.
"I wonder if I can get another one next time I go to Kuinan to slay demons and monsters!"
With that thought in mind.
Roger looked intently at the red-haired demon king on the Crimson Moon Blade.
The appearance of the 5-star Demon King is quite different from before.
His features were well-proportioned, his eyes deep, his demeanor refined and untamed...
Roger thinks he's an incredibly handsome guy no matter how you look at him!
"Red Moon Ghost King (Monster/Lord/LV89/5-Star)"
"Special: The Red Moon Ghost King has the exact same appearance as its master."
Trait 1: Guardian Blade
"Guardian Blade: The Demon King can prevent most sneak attacks."
Trait 2: Spirit Breaker
"Spirit Breaker: Red Moon's damage to spirits is increased by 500%"
Trait 3: Synergy - Crimson Miasma
"Crimson Miasma: The Ghost King spews out a mouthful of red miasma. Those hit by the miasma will experience symptoms such as vomiting, nausea, dizziness, shock, and poisoning."
Trait 4: Synergy - Gargoyle Assault
"Heavenly Demon Assault: The Demon King can leave the Red Moon and attack enemies up to 500 meters away;
The Ghost King's movement ignores terrain and barriers;
The Ghost King's capture is considered as if the master had captured it personally;
Trait 5: Synergy - Shape Shift
"Shape Shift: The Ghost King can instantly swap positions with his master."
"What a powerful Ghost King!"
"What a handsome Ghost King!"
After reviewing the attributes.
Roger excitedly rubbed the blade of the Red Moon.
Just at this moment.
A light appeared nearby—
Those were the three members of the punitive expedition team who arrived late.
Dorothy's face was already etched with worry.
However, upon seeing this scene...
Her gaze shifted back and forth between the blade and Roger.
I felt that breathing had become even more difficult.
Something that had just been pieced back together in my heart shattered again.
Outside the Demon-Refining Cave.
After briefly explaining what happened here.
Roger told Dorothy to take the other two back to Tongma Town first.
He himself claimed that he stayed behind to purge the monsters in the vicinity.
Not long after.
Outside the Blood Crow Cave.
A tall figure slowly appeared.
The blood crows at the cave entrance were unaware of the gravity of the situation.
They all spat bloody phlegm at Roger.
Roger calmly dodged.
Then he pulled on the Red Moon! "Demon King!"
"Kill them all!"
The words had barely left his mouth.
The red-haired demon king, who looked exactly like Roger, flew out from the Crimson Moon Blade.
It flies extremely fast.
And they're incredibly accurate every time they catch someone!
The Ghost King possessed immense strength.
The Blood Crow looked like a little chick in front of it! A crisp sound rang out.
In the blink of an eye, the Blood Crows perished one after another! Roger strolled leisurely into the cave.
To entertain the Ghost King...
Bah! It's cheering! He even brought out the five Dragon Priestess wielding Freshwater Staff to help.
And himself.
He then chose a safe corner to sit down.
After a moment of contemplation.
Roger eventually brought out that series of props.
First, there's a book.
Next were a strand of hair, a few drops of blood, and a piece of fingernail.
The next second.
Roger carefully opened the book.
He first activated the Kun Clan Blood Curse—
That is, he smeared his own blood on the book cover.
Then he wiped the three things that Chesia had left behind onto the title page of the book.
"Prompt: Enable ' Phil's Secret Diary '?"
"Secret Diary: You have marked the Eastern Devil Chechnya. All her characteristics have been detected as conforming to the definition of a woman. Please write Chesia's real name."
This is no challenge for Roger.
When Rose died, she revealed Chesia's real name.
Although it's unclear how she found out the other person's real name.
But Roger was willing to give it a try.
So he quickly finished writing that string of Purgatory Language.
Not long after.
Suddenly, I turned to the next page of the diary.
A giant dragon hidden in the darkness suddenly appears on the blank page.
"Notification: You have summoned the Curse Dragon 'Projection of Rodmar'"
"Given that the object of your curse is a high-ranking demon, please offer a sacrifice befitting its status."
These words accompanied it.
A grayish-purple magic circle appeared in front of Roger.
Roger tried to stuff a "Greater Devil's heart" inside.
On the pages of the book.
"How dare you insult the great Curse Dragon?"
Roger sighed and stuffed in some scraps that were hardly useful.
"You think sacrifice is child's play? This is far too little!"
Roger hesitated for a moment before shoving one of Augustus's claws into his hand.
"Rodmar's projection: Your sincerity is still insufficient, but given that this is our first transaction, I am willing to condescend to demonstrate the Divine Miracle of the curse for you."
After these words appeared.
The purple teleportation array then disappeared.
With a whoosh, all the pages closed.
Roger couldn't be pried open no matter how hard he tried!
"Could they have absconded with the money?"
Roger speculated maliciously.
"If that's the case, I'll throw this book into the latrine!"
"No."
"I have to build a public toilet for it!"
Perhaps they were intimidated by Roger's idea.
Just 30 seconds later.
The book was then reopened.
A line of bold, large text appeared in Roger's view.
"The Eastern Devil Chechnya, has fallen in love with you."
Blood Crow Castle.
In an elegant and solemn room.
Just as Chesia was recovering from her shock, she suddenly clutched her chest.
She felt her heart pounding strangely, bewildered.
But the image of a man's back appeared in my mind.
Thump! Thump! Thump! Her heart was beating faster and faster.
Her face was flushed.
"Why..."
"Could this be?"
Chesia stared blankly at herself in the mirror.
An unprecedented impulse arose in her heart.
"I..."
"I really, really want to see him."
Chesia just stared blankly at herself in the mirror.
Tears fell silently.
