This time, my dignity is going to lose big.

Freya knew she couldn't escape in the chaos, so she transformed the "Bow of the God of Love" she was holding back into particles of light. She then lowered her hands and acted as if nothing had happened, standing calmly in place, just like an exquisite mannequin in a clothing store.

Freya had already planned ahead: if the remaining demon, Ledux, discovered that she was the one who killed his companion and suddenly attacked her, she would seek refuge with Wang Xiaole and cling to his powerful support. After all, Freya and Wang Xiaole had unintentionally cooperated and successfully dealt with the annoying demons. What kind of relationship was this? Comrades-in-arms!

Wang Xiaole had every reason to assist the goddess of the Vermillion Worm. However, Freya's thoughts seemed to be going too far, as no one noticed her even when their searching gazes scanned her. Ultimately, it was because the goddess was too inconspicuous, mainly in terms of aura. Freya looked like an ordinary person, meaning she lacked presence!

Among the humans, no one saw anything special about her, but Ledux, after the Bone Demon was killed by an arrow, began earnestly searching for the culprit. Ledux calculated in his mind the direction and trajectory of the arrow and considered the momentary wind speed. After careful analysis, he looked in one direction...

He saw Freya lurking in the corner from afar. Unlike other people who only relied on their eyes to judge, Ledux used his senses. Ledux had keen perception and vaguely sensed the swirling light elements around Freya. When he looked at her position, it coincided with his approximate inference.

Instantly, Ledux seemed to have guessed something and tightened his handsome face, walking straight through the "human wall" towards Freya. With each step, the ground beneath his shoes sank slightly. Although he didn't show any angry reaction, an enormous shadow seemed to loom behind him, akin to a ferocious beast.

Wang Xiaole saw this scene with a smiling face, but his right hand was already clenched and prepared to blast through Ledux's heart. Wang Xiaole concealed himself deeply, without emitting any killing intent around his body. However, once he moved, he would undoubtedly react swiftly, catching the opponent off guard. After all, at this moment, Wang Xiaole was already extremely serious!

If Ledux took a wrong step, his life as a demon would undoubtedly be harvested in an instant, not much more difficult than reaping wheat. Now, Freya regretted staying in the corner because she couldn't even find another place to hide.

Finally, Ledux arrived less than two meters away from Freya. This distance was sufficient for Ledux to kill the goddess. Wang Xiaole also lifted his leg, prepared to take another step, and his figure would disappear in the next second.

"Hehe, this place has such a good view, allowing me to witness the great figure of that person clearly." Ledux stopped his footsteps at this point, and there was an additional person in front of him, blocking his path forward. Ledux wasn't in a hurry and chose to go around the obstruction. Surprisingly, no matter which route he prepared to take, the obstructing figure always managed to block him one step ahead, as if daring him to confront.

Among so many people in the field, there were only two who dared to confront the demons face to face; one was currently serving as a referee, and the other was in front of me, wrapped in black clothing.

"What should I call you, Miss?" asked Ledux, his inquiry carrying a hint of murderous intent, like some assassins with obsessive-compulsive disorder who would always ask for the name of their target before taking action.

"I don't want to tell you my name! I'm sorry..." The person who always apologized out of habit was the previously unseen Cai.

This runaway Holy Maiden of the church had come forward to help Freya once she determined that the Red Bishop had not noticed their presence. After all, they were friends, so it was only natural to help each other. Cai thought it was her duty to do so.

Currently, Ledux did not show an extreme reaction because he did not want to escalate the situation. Thus, he suppressed his anger and tried to persuade her kindly. "Miss, this matter has nothing to do with you. Please don't get involved. Step aside!"

"How can it have nothing to do with me? I'm standing here and can best see the face of that person over there," Wang Xiaole said, approaching Ledux and Cai, still determined to intervene, although now with a different person to help.

The current positions of the two were as follows: Ledux had his back to Wang Xiaole, while Cai faced her directly, and the two were communicating through their eyes.

"Don't worry, there's no need for you to intervene. I can handle it myself," Cai's eyes conveyed this message, firm and unwavering in both gaze and determination.

Neither side showed any particular expression on their faces in the current confrontation, but their respective auras were equally strong.

After giving the human girl in front of him a quick glance, Ledux also understood. She was just trying to delay and prevent him from retreating, determined to oppose the Senate.

"Do you really think this place is good, Miss? Won't you suddenly lose your balance?" Suddenly, Ledux released his internal power, gathering his magical energy into a cyclone, pushing it forward in a straight line.

Just the preliminary formation of magical power, sweeping forward like this, would have a power equivalent to a ninth-level intermediate magic spell.

Since he was facing a mere human, Ledux did not notice the suppressed terrifying aura coming from Cai and dared to conclude:

Just this probing attack should be enough to knock the girl down and send her flying, resulting in a pitiful and miserable end!

In the instant that the opponent made a move, Cai realized that she had been targeted.

With the ferocious attack unleashed by the demons, moving at a speed that was difficult to perceive with the naked eye, it quickly approached her, reaching a distance of only one punch away.

"Seems like this has happened before..." Cai was referring to the incident when the Red Bishop sent his Crusaders to attack Wang Xiaole in order to claim a so-called "lighting zone" at the beginning of the event.

Indeed, that scene from earlier and the current situation shared many similarities on various levels.

Ledux also realized this. He thought he was the dominant party, but in Cai's eyes, he was merely playing the role of that foolish bishop.

As the cyclone of magical power raged towards her, suddenly, waves of invisible force also appeared around Cai.

The power emanating from Cai was relatively gentle, not as aggressive as the magical power.

Unlike the divine power used by Wang Xiaole, it is evident that Cai is currently using holy power.

These three powers have a restraining relationship.

For example, "divine power restrains magic power but is suppressed by holy power," while "magic power restrains holy power but is naturally suppressed by divine power."

The irreversible restraining relationship determines that:

If we only consider the attribute of power, Cai will definitely be suppressed by any demon, especially since Ledux is a true powerhouse whose strength far surpasses that of an ordinary demon.

After such analysis, it seems that Cai is destined to lose.

Her defeat and embarrassment seemed to have been predetermined from the moment she confronted Ledux.

Will the subsequent development of the plot prove this to be true?

The answer is no!

The scene that overturned Ledux's expectations became a reality before his eyes.

When the two powers collided and the holy power was inevitably restrained by its own magic power, there was no sign of melting like ice meeting fire. On the contrary, in the clash, a different scene gradually emerged.

The fluctuation of the magic power gradually weakened, and it was not temporary but a long-lasting decline.

Currently, the scale and intensity of the holy power, with its obvious advantages, have undermined the inherent disadvantages of the attributes and gradually suppressed the magic power to the point of extinction.

It didn't take long before Ledux's aggressive attack completely dissipated without any suspense.

This is the obvious result caused by the dominance of power in attributes; if holy power can restrain magic power, Ledux cannot even imagine what would happen in the brief moment of their first clash.

Ledux knew that he hadn't used his full strength, but he really couldn't accept this unglorious outcome from the bottom of his heart.

"It seems like you know that you can't continue forward."

Cai was no longer aware of her opponent's psychological struggle, but for safety reasons, she still stood her ground, using her body as a barrier.

"What is your relationship with Wang Xiaole?"

The first thing Ledux asked after recovering from the blow was such a personal question.

He was not a fool, and he understood that the girl in front of him had been staring at the stage, and there was only one person standing on the stage at the moment.

"What is your relationship with Wang Xiaole?"

He asked for the second time, more directly.

If it were someone else, they would have been furious, but Cai had a personality that was difficult to provoke, so she wouldn't get angry.

Moreover, when she felt it necessary, she would indeed answer some impolite questions, just like now, when she replied:

"For now, just a servant."

"If only a servant now, what will you be in the future?"

"I'll think about it... if I can really confirm that speculation, then I, myself, will just be a... mere slave of that person!"

There is nothing strange in this world. At least Ledux had never seen someone who could be so happy while describing themselves as a slave.

"It seems that there are more unreasonable people."

After saying this, Ledux turned around and walked away, not towards where he was originally standing, but straight towards the exit.

Even without getting closer, he understood that Bone Demon was beyond saving!

You see:

The fourth sibling was purified by light magic to the point of no return. Even with the chief demon of the Senate present, it would be impossible to perform such a difficult resurrection.

The Senate lost the second day of the challenge embarrassingly, and the Bone Demon, who made a fool of himself, also went down to accompany those five idiots. So why is Ledux still staying here?

He knows how to advance and retreat. Staying on the outskirts of the arena is not good for his own dignity and that of the Senate. Therefore, he chooses to leave the scene altogether, avoiding the many meaningful gazes.
