Chapter 170 - Slave Liberation 3 (1/2)
Melena kicked the door open and stormed out of the stone building with a face contorted with anger.
Woohyuk pretended to be ignorant.
”What are you talking about?”
”You sick bastard! Was it fun playing with my heart?!”
Melena blindly criticized Woohyuk without realizing that she had done the exact same things so far.
So if she did it, it was acceptable, but if others did it, it was morally incorrect.
Carnelian, who stood next to Woohyuk, frowned.
”Um, I don't think that the Witch of Lust has the right to say that...”
”Shut up, you lab rat!”
Melena screamed her lungs out at Carnelian.
Woohyuk spoke up to her again after her outburst.
”Melena, have you heard of this word before?”
”What?!”
”Hypocrite.”
”...You fucking scum!”
Unable to hold back her fury. a purple flame rose from Melena's hand.
At that moment, Astaroth exited from the stone building.
“…”
”What are you doing? It went as planned, so capture Melena now.”
All kinds of traps were set up in the building, including curse spells, so Woohyuk had used Astaroth to make Melena exit the dangerous building.
Astaroth nodded because he was aware of Woohyuk’s intentions.
”I'll do it now. I just drifted off for a while because she suddenly confessed to me.”
Although it was a bit radical of her, Melena had expressed her feelings to Astaroth in the building.
But Astaroth did not reciprocate her feelings.
Moreover, he could not start a relationship right now since he was obligated to follow Woohyuk's orders.
Melena's face hardened as Astaroth summoned his exclusive weapon, Regius.
She then burst out in crazy laughter.
”Kyahahahaha! ...So it’s come to this. I was waiting for Asura to get caught in my trap, but this is better. With this, I can throw away my old lingering feelings.”
Melena had been monitoring Woohyuk from afar through her crystal ball.
Her plan was to make Woohyuk fall into a trap and then force him to have a relationship with her.
No matter how indifferent a man was, he would definitely become attached to a woman he had slept with.
In other words, she would tame Woohyuk through his lust.
But the attempt had failed, and Melena didn’t appear to have any more plans.
”Are you thinking of escaping? By leaving behind your dear Astaroth?”
”Hmph, you seem to think you have the upper hand right now, so let me tell you one thing? With my power, I can easily reconquer this kingdom anytime. We're working together on a new secret weapon as well.”
The Witch Cult was rapidly spreading among the slaves.
But Woohyuk wasn’t interested in them.
His attention was turned to Melena’s words.
”A secret weapon?”
”Yes, I'm preparing a present with Aleister to surprise you. You can look forward to it, because sooner or later you'll see it during certain trials.”
Aleister was a genius alchemist who had reached the pinnacle of alchemy.
He created inventions that broke through the conventional knowledge of the present.
Feeling suspicious and nervous, Woohyuk unfolded Lemegeton and summoned the rest of the Demon Kings.
”We’ll need to hear that story in detail. For now, get obediently captured.”
”Huhu, Did you think I wasn’t prepared? We've been watching you and Eteria Rodinus for a long time.”
She, however, did not take action like the 72 Demon Kings or Pronoia most times because she was scheming something.
As Melena prepared to run away, Woohyuk immediately summoned Verserios.
‘I should use this opportunity to try out that ability.’
The ability he had gained with the title of Master of the White Ghost King.
When Woohyuk drew the White Ghost King’s stigma with Verserios,
Whoooosh!
A red moon covered up the sun, creating a total solar eclipse, and a red magic circle appeared on the floor, revealing the White Ghost King.
”Did you call, Lord Asura?”
”Capture that witch with the demon kings.”
The White Ghost King’s power and strength was between Astaroth, the 29th Demon King, and Orobas, the 55th Demon King.
He was therefore about as strong as the average Demon King.
Melena snorted as the White Ghost King stood by the demon kings, pulling out the Soulsword Calites.
”I see that you’ve picked up another weirdo. I'm sorry, but I don't intend to die by your hands like Kriemhild and Priscilla. So I'll be goi...”
Swooosh!
Before Melena could finish her sentence, a dark red double-handed sword swung down towards her head.
Astaroth was able to attack her first since he was closest to her.
Melena gritted her teeth and dodged to the side.
And...
Click.
She took out a red jewel and put it in the hole in her brass necklace.
She was trying to escape to her chapel by chanting a spell.
However, the Demon Kings wouldn’t just sit by and watch.
”My, oh my. Don't think you can run away so easily.”
”You’ve been experimenting with toys after sending us to our deaths to the White Ghost King’s Sand Temple?”
“You witches are all the same...”
Orobas and Andras, the demon kings of Ars Almadel, were the most infuriated.
They thought that they were being used by Melena.
As the demons quickly narrowed the distance from all sides, Melena summoned the slaves of the Witch Cult before her and used them as meat shields.
Spray!
Red blood gushed out like waves.
The White Ghost King watched from a distance for a while and swung the soulsword Calites in the air.
Black rifts cracked open in the air, and armed white ghosts emerged through it.
