224,

What should I do?!

It was manageable dealing with an idiot, but now there's someone with a little bit of brain.

Their corpse still lay at my feet, stained with the blood of greed.

Clutching the dagger in my hand, Cyclone dared not move, contemplating whether to charge forward and risk death, or to drop the weapon and pretend to defend myself out of innocence.

However, this woman demon, whose name Cyclone didn't even know, remained motionless like him.

From Cyclone's memory, she was associated with the greedy one. In other words, pretending to be innocent wouldn't have much effect.

In that case, another act must be performed.

"Oh! Looks like another delicacy has arrived~"

Cyclone licked his lips, pretending to be a twisted killer.

Playing with the dagger in his hand, he showed confidence.

No trembling in his movements, no stuttering in his words.

Even if a few drops of sweat dripped down, even if he was drenched in sweat, Cyclone took a step forward.

And it worked.

The woman demon backed away out of fear.

For every step Cyclone took forward, she took one step back.

Exhausted, the energy Cyclone had shown earlier against greed had drained him completely.

Now, Cyclone couldn't even take big steps forward. If the woman demon only retreated, it meant that the unknown enemy in front of her wasn't enough to frighten her.

Realizing this, in normal circumstances, Cyclone would have shouted and taken a step forward to scare his opponent.

But in his weakened state, Cyclone had to resort to another method.

Looking at the woman demon's figure, curved in all the right places, and her decent looks.

Carefully remembering, there seemed to be a clash between her and lust.

Without much time to think, it was time to take a gamble for Cyclone.

"Oh, oh~ Such a nice body~ I happen to feel a little interested, hehehe~"

Cyclone observed as the woman demon's hands trembled.

Cyclone took another step forward.

Please, run away!!

Cyclone cried out in his mind. It was almost at the point where he had to strike. If he got any closer without doing anything, he would surely be seen through.

"...Don't...don't come any closer!!"

Success! The woman demon shouted in panic, turned around, and ran.

Only after she disappeared into the dark corridor did Cyclone finally let out a sigh of relief.

Taking a deep breath, Cyclone turned around and went back to Yuna.

Exhausted, now only willpower was sustaining Cyclone.

Struggling to put Yuna back on his back, Cyclone took one step at a time towards the other side.

The front of the corridor was dark, and in the silent world, there was only the sound of his own heavy breathing.

Several times, Cyclone had to lean against the wall and rest for a few seconds.

Until one corridor, Cyclone found a room that had collapsed halfway.

It was small, originally a large room of about ten meters by ten meters, but now half of it had caved in, making the room smaller.

At a glance, no one was there.

This Cyclone was really unbearable. After hiding in this room and placing down Yuna, Cyclone used a broken wooden table in the room as a door to block the entrance.

When realizing that he could finally take a rest, Cyclone immediately knelt down towards the wooden door.

With the slightest effort, he turned around and sat down to rest.

However, when looking back again, a pure and dreamlike scene appeared.

Silver long hair entered Cyclone's eyes, and the purple pupils became the most unforgettable part of this scene. A little girl wearing a noble-style one-piece dress quietly looked at Cyclone.

"In fact, she is weaker than you think. If you had caught up with her just now, you could have taken advantage of her, and she would have become your eighth wife~"

Unable to understand and also unwilling to understand.

"But this is also one of destiny's choices. Even the name is unknown, destined to be a supporting role~"

"...I think, this is the third time, right?"

Cyclone dared not shift his gaze, staring desperately at the person in front of him.

"You appeared where you shouldn't...who...who are you?"

"You'll soon find out who I am."

"Then...hey?! Hey hey!! Are you leaving?"

The little girl turned around and headed towards the collapsed part of the room.

"Damn it!! Why did you come out then?"

Standing in front of the wall, the little girl simply turned her head and smiled.

"If I have to say, it's...to make a strong entrance~"
