Chapter 222 – Demon King Technique, Normal Claw (1/2)
All the monsters stopped moving under Anderson’s orders. Some were responsible for blocking the exit and others silently surrounded Elena. Even though Caesar and Rosie were lying lifelessly, they turned a blind eye to them and weren’t interested.
Evidently, Elena’s worth far surpassed them.
“Silver hair and red eyes… how beautiful. I’ve heard that red-eyed black cats have enviable appearance after taking human form. Now that I’ve seen it, it’s really remarkable.” Anderson sincerely marvelled.
“…”
Elena didn’t say anything towards Anderson’s praise, she coldly swept her gaze across the surrounding monsters and understood something.
It was probably because she broke the crystal during the magic test and Anderson found out and guessed her real identity.
“Speak, Elena, why did you enter the Academy Tournament? A red-eyed black cat should have a high position among the emos, yet you’re willing to be a maid for that guy called Lin Xiao… strange, do you like him?”
“Fool.” Elena coldly snorted and didn’t bother answering his question.
“Is that not it? Although it’s rare for demons to fall in love with humans, it’s not like it’s never happened before… however, where did your master go, did he just leave you behind?” Anderson asked multiple question in succession, but Elena completely ignored him. He gnashed his teeth and threatened with a smile, “Your master couldn’t save you even if he was here! Elena, I advise you to give up and become my experimentation material!”
Just imagining catching and Elena and turning this arrogant maid into an obedient lab rat, he was itching to have a go and his gaze was filled with a fiery passion.
“You didn’t bring the Lesser Devils here just to catch me, right? You said that you wanted to finish off Caesar, why?” Even though she was surrounded, she was still ice-cold and had a gaze filled with disdain.
“Oh, you’re mistaken, not just Caesar, but all the exceptional teams… this competition is a perfect opportunity since all the most outstanding students across the continent are all gathered here. Finishing them off now would be much easier than waiting until after they grow up.”
“What would you get out of finishing off the outstanding youths? Do you want to weaken the Four Kingdoms?” Elena tilted her head and asked, “Why would you do that, unless, you work for the Great Qin Empire?”
“Hehe, you’re well-informed, but that’s wrong, I’m just cooperating with them, everything I’ve done is for the Venus Society’s noble cause!”
“Venus Society?”
Lin Xiao had said that it wasn’t just demons creating the Lesser Devils to attack, there must have also been humans helping behind the scenes… could it be this Venus Society?
“Anderson! The ones who attacked the Demon King’s with the Lesser Devils… was that you?” Elena glared at Anderson, her eyes filled with killing intent.
“Demon King’s palace? No, I wasn’t qualified to participate… strange, how do you know about that?” Anderson frowned and mumbled.
Although an adult red-eyed black cat was extremely strong, Elena was still young. By his estimates, she should be around seventh-level, although one level higher than the Lesser Devils, but he had a high probability of winning because of quantity.
She should know that too, but the strange thing was, she was neither panicking nor retreating. She even questioned him, like victory was already within her grasp.
As expected of the nobility among demons, is she still trying to save face even when’s she about to die?
Since that’s the case, he’s going to make sure to let Elena savor the taste of becoming a lab rat!
“Hmph, are you still not planning to transform? You’re rather arrogant, don’t blame me for bullying you later… get her!”
All the Lesser Devils finally began moving after receiving an order. They moved their thick legs, walking over the silver leaf fruits and splattering sticky fluids all over the floor. Their rhythmic pacing shook the entire cave.
Since it came to this, Elena had no other choice.
She silently bit her own tongue.
