Chapter 21: Life at Crisis
update icon Updated at 2025/5/22 4:10:12

I have to admit, it's a bit uncomfortable to see title information like this, which is like a system error.

It's like when you're playing a game and suddenly see someone with a [Unable to Display] sign on their head walking by, you can't take your eyes off it, right?

If you're not like that, then I can only quietly say sorry, I have OCD.

But in front of me is obviously a boss-level female demon, and I won't be foolish enough to use a compulsory skill to see her element, otherwise it's seeking death.

And even if I use a skill, I may not be able to see it. In the current situation, the opponent is no longer a question mark, but directly unable to display, does that mean the opponent is already beyond the range of detection?

How terrifying? Can I use a cheat code?

"I'm also very honored."

I answered with a smile. I dare not make any other moves, because I don't understand the etiquette of the abyss at all. If I accidentally offend something I shouldn't, I'm done for.

You know, there aren't many people here who can't instantly kill me...

Oh, what did you say? I can respawn?

Is that in the town? I don't know if I can come back or not in the wild! Didn't you see the prompt when I first came in? This is the 'neutral zone'. It's not a town map!

Alright, I'm too excited, it's better to solve the problem here first.

Speaking of which, the demon was very generous just now and gave that bow called "Yue Orchid" to Miss Xuemongster. Although the receptionist is still packing the weapons, Miss Xuemongster's eyes haven't moved away from that thing.

But...

I gave my crystal heart in exchange for that, why didn't I get anything?

But now it's too embarrassing for me to ask, I don't want to be seen as someone greedy.

"Well... as expected, the Undead Holy Angel is the race most similar to humans, apart from fallen angels and elves. It's really great to see a real person today... Oh, sorry, you should know that your race is a bunch of strange guys who hide in the castle all day and don't come out. I just became a demon not long ago, so I haven't participated in the last war and have never seen the Undead Holy Angels who are called 'Shadow of the Battlefield'."

"I certainly don't mind, and you can just consider me as an exception."

"Indeed, you are completely different from the Undead Holy Angels described by my friend. Well, this is not a place to talk, let's go to the room upstairs."

"Okay."

After saying that, she turned to the receptionist.

"Pack it up and send it to the top floor."

"Yes."

"Then, please come with me."

After that, she walked with the little demon boy next to her towards what looked like... an elevator.

That's right, it's an elevator again. My goodness, isn't this a castle? Can you please keep the atmosphere and not imitate an elevator?

But then again, I don't want to climb stairs either.

After entering the elevator, Miss Xuemongster beside me kept marveling at the wonders of the elevator, but I didn't have the leisure for that.

I increasingly felt that my situation was becoming dangerous.

At first, I thought that being an Undead Holy Angel could bring me a lot of benefits, but as I learned more, it seemed... those of the same race as me don't like going out very much.

Are they all hikikomori?

Impossible, there are over 600 people. For a party, five people are enough. To have 600 people, are they forming a team to clear dungeons? Won't the network be congested?

Of course, there's no online game here either.

Based on my analysis of countless game plots, the most likely situation is that although my race is powerful, it also has a big weakness or fears something, so they dare not come out.

If that's really the case, then it's really bad.

Is it really okay for me to openly tell others about my identity?

I can't help but worry about myself.

And...

Even if we have a meeting, why is this demon so enthusiastic about me? Aren't demons supposed to be dungeon boss that only appear in mazes, or idiots who walk around aimlessly?

I feel it's becoming more and more dangerous...

Ding!

At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of a message notification.

This startled me.What a joke! Are there time travelers around here?

I quickly opened the menu and found a message from someone named Shi Rui Lucifer.

Hold on...

Lucifer?

Could this guy be... the one called Bick, the Great Demon King?

I calmly opened the email and as soon as I read the first line, I had an urge to smash the screen.

If this wasn't a virtual screen, I might have actually smashed it.

"Hey, Undead Archangel, having fun? Were you forcibly dissected?"

Are you kidding me? Does anyone start a conversation like that?

"Who are you? The Demon King?"

"Smart~"

"Smart my foot! Your name is obviously Lucifer or something. Did you really think you could hide it?"

"Well, you're right. But let's not talk about that now. Let's address your problem. As someone who cherishes rare species, you walk around the abyss with an elf by yourself. Are you trying to get yourself killed? You should know that the core of the Undead Archangel's body is the crucial ingredient for making the real resurrection potion 'Second Life.' It's different from ordinary resurrection potions because it won't turn the resurrected person into an undead. Plus, it works on anyone. Do you now realize how dangerous you are?"

"..."

How dangerous do I think I am? You can see it from my pale face that cannot get any paler.

Damn it, does the Undead Archangel have such a setting? How did I not know? This kind of information should have been in the user manual. Is this some kind of joke?

The elevator's numbers were about to reach the top floor, and I felt like it was counting down my life.

"What should I do then? 'Black Frost' is right next to me, and even if I wanted to escape, I can't!"

"Black Frost... she's indeed a bit tricky. Although she is a new demon god, she's already level 86. You'll probably be wiped out instantly, just like taking a sip of water~"

"86..."

I'm sorry, I shouldn't have challenged the map beyond my level. I think I should just go home and die faster, but it seems like I can't commit suicide! I can't harm myself!

And Miss Xue Monsert is still here. I can't abandon her and run away, can I?

"Alright, alright. I'm coming to you as fast as I can. I hope I make it in time. But remember, you owe me a meal later~"

After saying that, he cut off the contact, and I arrived at the top floor. The elevator door slowly opened...
