Little Norton Kingdom Had Such a Crouching Dragon and Young Phoenix

"Heh, you have no idea of the value of this human being. You only know how to ruin my precious experimental subject."

Altis chuckled twice, walked step by step to Dekan, and looked at him coldly.

She now found the Little Succubus utterly ridiculous.

Those who are ignorant and arrogant dare to talk back to her.

If it weren't for the agreement, she would have simply taken action to banish this Succubus she loathed.

But now, she has to give the Little Succubus a fair chance to challenge her.

"Tsk, I'm not going to kill him. I've always been kind-hearted."

Dekan glanced at Morion, a glance that made Morion uncomfortable, and he looked away.

"You're treating him like food or a slave? You might not even be able to protect yourself at the lower levels. If danger arises, humans will just be your cannon fodder."

Altis took another step closer, looking at Dekan with a menacing gaze.

"I won't let him die, and what right do you have to tell me that? Once his research value is exhausted, won't you kill him anyway?"

Dekan didn't back down either, responding with his hands on his hips and a cold laugh.

"No, I never kill humans, I've never even harmed any humans. That's the difference between me and you."

"Ha, I could say I'm human, would you believe me?"

The two demons, exchanging words, gradually grew increasingly agitated.

If they keep arguing, they might lose control and start hitting each other.

However, they all knew they couldn't resort to violence.

Therefore, when anger cannot be vented, the more they argue, the more aggressive their words become.

Morion sat on the sofa, feeling a chill run down his spine.

How the hell did this argument even start?

Morion had no idea why Dekan had suddenly become so agitated.

But after thinking about it carefully...

Morion realizes that saying Dekan is a devil might make Dekan very unhappy.

Furthermore...

Altis had always disliked Dekan.

Or perhaps their personalities are inherently uncompromising, the kind that will inevitably lead to an argument whenever they meet.

So they started arguing.

"You two, stop arguing."

He finally couldn't resist interrupting the two demons' argument.

Morion found it strange.

Why would a human male one day try to mediate between two female demons arguing?

If this is considered a "battleground," then it's far too bizarre.

Etc...

It seems there weren't two women; one of them was a male demon in disguise.

That's even stranger.

Hiss...

Dekan seems to actually be a human?

Even Morion, who was usually very logical, felt a bit confused at this moment.

Although he has always believed that one should assume other people's race and gender according to one's own ideas.

But he couldn't say exactly what Dekan was now.

If you were to give him a life-or-death multiple-choice question right now, asking him to guess Dekan's name, race, and gender, he would never guess.

However, when the figures in the midst of the argument heard Morion's voice...

Altis & Dekan: "Shut up!!"

The two voices almost simultaneously burst out.

Morion was taken aback.

Now he couldn't help but feel glad that he had tricked Altis before Dekan arrived.

Otherwise, if Dekan were to encounter Altis, they would surely fight to the death.

At that point, he would be forced to face this eighth-tier great demon alongside Dekan.

He absolutely refused to do such a thing, even if it meant his life.

No madman would want to fight an eighth-tier demon.

Moreover, based on what he knew, Altis was very difficult to deal with.

Her direct combat ability is probably far inferior to that of other eighth-tier Jailer.

However, for support heroes like Dekan and Morion who enjoy dirty tactics, Altis, a knowledgeable, magically skilled, and rational demon, is actually a difficult opponent.

However, it seems that Altis and Dekan are almost done arguing.

"Since you claim to understand humans very well, that's perfect. If you want to take prisoners from the fourth level, the content happens to be related to anthropology. I hope you can win as you say."

"Altis said."

She, who had previously been almost expressionless, now looked at Dekan with utter disdain.

"Heh, anthropology? You think you can beat me? Let's see!"

Dekan found it utterly absurd and laughable.

Although he had learned a little about it at the Demon Academy, he knew that demons would study a comprehensive course called anthropology.

But.

He was originally human!

How could you possibly lose to the devil?!

If he loses, won't he lose face throughout the Central Nations along the broadcast route?

From now on, they might as well just write "I am a demon" in big letters on their backs!

This is a matter of dignity; we absolutely cannot lose.

"How exactly will the competition be conducted?"

"Dekan asked."

Dekan couldn't wait to see Altis show a defeated expression.

He was certain that this female demon wouldn't attack him for the time being.

Altis is a rational yet unconventional demon.

Moreover, she is too fixated on reasoning.

She might even be able to live in harmony with humans.

Even if her attitude towards humanity is distorted.

Her friendliness toward Morion was not that she regarded humans as friends, but rather as livestock or experimental subjects.

But compared to other demons, she was much better.

Dekan found it difficult to categorize her as either good or evil.

The urge to punch her was simply because I thought Altis deserved a beating, not because I wanted to torture a villain.

For this kind of guy.

Dekan didn't have much desire to torment her.

More than anything, I wanted to thoroughly humiliate her!

Altis waved her hand gently, and the row of books on the wall seemed to hear her call, drawn by her Magic Power to her hands.

Then she waved her hand again, and the row of books stood neatly on her spacious long table.

Upon closer inspection, these were not books.

It was a box containing the documents.

Altis began to speak:

"This is the test for the fourth level. We'll compete in knowledge, best two out of three. You and the prisoner you want to take away can choose to challenge me."

Upon hearing Altis's words, Dekan and Morion exchanged a glance.

The competition on this level will no longer be a physical contest, but a contest of wits!

Although Altis is a knowledgeable demon who has lived for thousands of years, even if one were to engage in a battle of wits with her on anthropology, even the greatest human scholars in the present world might not dare to accept the challenge.

However, Dekan glanced at the subject.

He was hiding his true human identity.

It possesses advantages that Altis cannot.

There's a subject in which Altis could almost never win!

For example, [Human Ethics]!

After exchanging glances, Dekan and Morion nodded to each other, both unable to suppress a smile.

Suddenly, I felt a sense of camaraderie, like brothers who have weathered countless storms together, meeting again with a smile and forgetting all past grievances.

With their combined strength, victory is assured!

Although, according to Altis, the two of them could not work together to cheat on the exam.

However, they can take turns playing.

The two have slightly different strengths.

Therefore, they were allowed to be teammates, and their already formidable intellectual battle became even more like Wolong meeting Fengchu.
