Replacing the Demon's Pact, Freeing the Girl from Her Nightmare

Looking at the beautiful woman in her palace attire, William knew that he was being questioned again.

This time, he was too lazy to explain. If there was no one to stand up for him, it would be a bit embarrassing for him to explain himself.

The woman in front of him was still Nangong Natsuki's most important friend. Don't be fooled by Nangong Natsuki's claim of not caring about her; that was just an act.

With a casual wave of his hand, a white halo instantly formed in front of him.

The halo before him was a compilation of all his memories after entering the world of Strike the Blood.

Then, with a flick of his finger, the halo slowly flew towards Sentouki Aya's swollen chest and disappeared into it.

The next moment, Sentouki Aya fainted on the bed, and the collar of her palace dress opened slightly, revealing a patch of soft, white skin underneath.

William waved his hand again, and a table appeared in the open space in front of him, with two steaming cups of black tea and two servings of snacks on it.

William picked up the black tea he'd somehow acquired on Island of Gen'ei, took a small sip, and immediately a look of disgust appeared on his face.

He chuckled softly as he looked at the disheveled beauty in her palace attire.

"Your fate from now on depends entirely on your decisions."

Chapter 246 The Contract to Replace the Demon, Liberating the Girl's Nightmare

Frankly speaking, this woman couldn't be considered a heinous criminal in William's eyes.

To put it simply, this world is a microcosm of the later stages of the development of the Irregular at Magic High School World and the Asterisk War.

Why are ordinary people in those two worlds so terrified and disgusted by those with superpowers?

That's because they stood before those with superpowers, utterly powerless to resist. This situation, where their lives were not in their own hands, is unacceptable to any intelligent being.

People in this world probably see news every day when they open their phones about attacks by Magecraft criminals, how many people have been killed, and so on.

And then what's the reaction? People will turn off the news, go to work or school as usual, and probably won't even send a message to condemn it.

Why is that?

Because they've become numb to what happens every day, and even if they protest, what good will it do? Large countries might be able to take a tougher stance, but weaker countries can only swallow their bitter pills in silence.

Similarly, Sentouki Aya conducted experiments on Island of Gen'ei in order to carry out her own experiments with the Grimoire of Oath.

If successful, the island will collapse due to the loss of magical support from the Magecraft technology, causing all 560,000 residents to perish in the deep ocean.

Therefore, Sentouki Aya was imprisoned in the Prison Barrier as an evil Magecraft criminal.

Don't forget the Feast of Blazing Light that took place on Island of Gen'ei a couple of days ago.

If William hadn't moved the battlefield to the newly constructed artificial island, Azure Paradise, what would have happened to Island of Gen'ei after the aftermath of that battle?

Island of Gen'ei will be torn to pieces by the aftermath of William and Gada's battle, and the island's inhabitants will also face total Destruction.

But some people might condemn this, or even arrest him and Gada!

Nobody dares to do that!

Even the first to abandon the inhabitants of Island of Gen'ei were their own country.

This is also why Nangong Natsuki had no objection to joining William's forces; she was utterly disappointed with Japan and the Artificial Island Management Corporation.

Therefore, the reason why Sentouki Aya ended up in such a predicament is entirely due to her lack of strength.

"Sit down and tell me your decision."

Upon waking, Sentouki Aya was initially taken aback, then straightened her slightly disheveled collar and skirt, gracefully walked to the opposite side of William, and sat down.

Her complexion was slightly rosy, but more complex than anything else was there.

Even after a long time, the black tea remained steaming hot, demonstrating William's even greater control over temperature.

She picked up the teacup and inhaled the rich aroma that she hadn't smelled in almost ten years.

"This is Mankanti black tea, isn't it? It really does taste like Nangong Natsuki's."

"That's right! These were all taken from Natsuki-chan's tea cabinet."

William glanced at the woman before him with amusement, then picked up the expensive white porcelain teacup.

"Yeah!"

Sentouki Aya hummed those two words, then picked up his teacup and took a small sip.

The rich aroma and bitterness of tea spread through Sentouki Aya's mouth.

Looking at the man before her, even though she had already learned everything in her dream.

She still couldn't believe it!

She had only been deprived of her freedom for six years, yet the world had changed so much.

Of course, that's alright.

What truly shocked her was the moment when Gada revealed her true power.

That earth-shattering battle made her start to doubt: even if her plan succeeded, would it really have any effect on a monster like True Ancestor?

A moment of silence!

William put down his teacup.

"Because you are Natsuki-chan's friend, I'm giving you this final piece of advice."

"Your wish is wishful thinking. The Grimoire of Oath cannot eliminate the magic of all demons. Every True Ancestor possesses a familiar that can counter the spells of the Grimoire of Oath."

"So there's no way you have a chance of your wish coming true!"

The Grimoire of Oath is actually quite similar to the Holy Annihilation spell, but the two are worlds apart in terms of their effectiveness.

If Sentouki Aya controls the Holy Annihilation, then finding a spiritual vein capable of supporting its Holy Annihilation would still offer her a possibility of fulfilling her wish.
