?The young man smiled; his smile made the kneeling woman’s heart beat stronger.
His smile was like the sun on cold winter days, and his eyes were like two bright stars, making others fascinated.
If Laura were here, she would definitely recognise this young man because a few days ago, he asked her to release Lafien.
He was also the one who wanted Laura to join his church and become the Maiden of War.
He is the Holy Son of the Lumiere Church, Ikarys.
Ikarys nodded slightly. His every gesture was extremely neat and elegant, he exuded an aura like an angel descending to earth, making everyone feel self-conscious.
“Would you mind reading to me what’s inside?” Ikarys said while smiling.
The woman in the white robe heard that and happily said: “It is my honour, Holy Son.”
“According to the letter, Queen Catheryne wants to hold the ‘Genius Congress’ in two days.”
“The reason is that… the Demon Lord’s appearance has made everyone afraid of the seal’s solidity. That is why Queen Catheryne wishes to quickly organise the ‘Congress of Geniuses’.”
“After finding the best person, capable of leading other geniuses, everyone will be brought into the Dungeon to learn and strengthen the seal again.”
Hearing that, Ikarys frowned, then nodded slightly: “It seems… The world is not so peaceful these days. The Demon Lord has appeared, which is a sign that the age of chaos is coming.”
“Yes.” The woman in the white leopard robe respectfully bowed her head and said: “I believe that you can… no, Holy Son will definitely become the leader, and also the only one capable of leading other geniuses.”
Hearing that, Ikarys smiled. His smile was like a spring breeze that made the woman’s heart speed up once again.
“Hahahaha… Don’t think highly of me. I’m really not as good as you think.”
“No!” That woman quickly spoke: “Holy Son, you are the best man in this world, no… to be more precise… in this world, you are the only real man.”
“Other men are just trash. Holy Son, you are the light of God, the breath of the Goddess of Spring…”
“Alright!” Ikarys hearing that woman praise him made him extremely satisfied: “How many slots does our church have?”
“Holy Son, we have 4 slots, of which… yours and Holy Maiden’s slots never change. As for the remaining 2 slots…”
“Hm?! What is the matter?” Ikarys asked confusedly.
The woman hesitated: “The remaining two slots… 1 slot is for the Holy Maiden’s maid, and the other 1 slot… is for Lafien.”
“Lafien?! The girl is being imprisoned by Laura in the Karol Empire, right?”
Hearing Ikarys’ question, the woman just nodded slightly, her face showing embarrassment as she did not know how to explain.
“Sorry, Holy Son. We tried contacting Laura, but she still hasn’t changed her mind. She said that… unless Lathel agreed, she would not release Lafien.”
“Lathel?!” Ikarys frowned when he heard that name, his face showing a bit of discomfort.
Seeing his discomfort, the kneeling woman immediately put her head on the ground and respectfully said: “Holy Son, please don’t be angry, I…”
“I want all the information about that man named Lathel.” Ikarys said.
The kneeling woman immediately replied: “Honourable Holy Son, I have investigated that young man named Lathel.”
After she finished speaking, she took out a small scroll and offered it with respect.
Ikarys frowned and threw out his hand. The scroll in that woman’s hand immediately flew into his hand.
He opened the scroll to look at it, and after a moment, he smiled extremely coldly.
It was a smile that carried murderous intent and a kind of amusement, like someone looking at an animal in a cage.
“It seems… I should meet this young man once.” Ikarys muttered.
“I know.” He said to the kneeling woman: “Go prepare the carriage, I will go to the Karol Empire with the Holy Maiden.”
“This…” The kneeling woman trembled a bit: “Holy Maiden… she… left early in the morning, as soon as she received the notice from Queen Catheryne.”
“Hmm?!” Ikarys sighed.
“Holy Son, please calm down. The Holy Maiden is probably a little shy, that’s why she doesn’t want to go with you.” The kneeling woman quickly explained: “I will…”
“No need.” Ikarys smiled and said: “I understand. After all, the final destination is the Karol Empire; we don’t need to go together.”
The woman saw Ikarys’ gentle smile and blushed, bowed her head, and said: “Yes, I understand.”
After the woman finished speaking, she left the room. After going out, she angrily muttered: “Huh! Holy Maiden, her position is a little higher, and her talent is a little better than others.”
“If she dares to refuse someone as perfect as the Holy Son, it seems… She is very arrogant.”
“Holy Maiden… Wait for the Holy Son to become the genius leader of this continent, at that time, even if you regret it, you will not be able to become his woman.”
The white-robed woman smiled confidently, she remembered when Ikarys smiled at her and made her blush.
Inside the room, Ikarys frowned, looking at the space in front of him. There wasn’t anything there; however, just because people couldn’t see anything didn’t mean he couldn’t see anything either.
He was seeing an electronic screen appear in front of him, with a few lines of text resembling a notification above it.
[Ding! Next mission: Flexing before all the other geniuses with your talent and understanding. you should successfully attract the attention of Queen Catheryne and win the ‘Genius Congress’ championship.]
[Ding! The system will rate your achievements and mission performance and give you appropriate rewards.]
Ikarys looked at the notice board in front of him and smiled excitedly: “Queen Catheryne?” Another woman will be added to my harem list.”
“I hope… your beauty can interest me, Catheryne.”
…
Back in the goblin forest, Alec lay against the tree, trying to breathe in an extremely exhausted way.
His body was full of bleeding pores. The blood and pus mixed together created an extremely terrible odour.
Alec gritted his teeth and muttered: “Lilith… why haven’t you come back yet?”
“It hurts so much… My body hurts so much…”
Alec tried to use the Black Rose Flame to slow down the disease’s progression, but he felt something strange.
He thought that with his ability, even without the Black Rose Flame, he could hold out for about 7 to 10 days.
However, after using the Black Rose Flame to inhibit the disease’s progression, although he felt a little more comfortable, the pain became even more unbearable afterward.
The disease even grew stronger, so strong that even the smallest and weakest pathogens that already existed on his body could kill him.
If Lilith were here, she would definitely scold him for being stupid.
Suddenly, from the bushes, a human-like creature appeared. That creature was nearly 2 metres tall; it had a muscular body, long yellow hair, and a face similar to that of a normal woman.
“You… who are you?” Alec shouted in fear. He tried to stand up, but he couldn’t because his body was exhausted.
At this moment, even breathing was difficult, let alone fighting.
“I am Saki, Sakuth’s mother.”
Alec looked at the strange woman and said, his face showing contempt: “Damn it… ha… ha… you… you are all the same… you are all perverted… ugly…”
Alec gasped and spoke as if he were about to drown. Saki saw Alec and frowned, her face showing contempt.
“You killed my son, right? ”
Hearing that, Alec immediately laughed contemptuously: “Ha..ha..ha… that’s right. That bastard… he… he tricked me… he ‘stabbed’ me… he…”
“Do you want to know the reason? Hahahaha… You… you come close to me… I will tell you.”
“Huh!” Saki snorted in contempt: “Do you think I’m stupid? Just looking at you is enough for me to know that you are suffering from an extremely terrible disease.”
“If I come close, you will infect me. However… you seem very comfortable.”
“As long as I create a magic formation around you and hide this place, no one can come and help you.”
“Hahahaha… Don’t worry, you can endure that ‘comfort’ until you die.”
Alec was startled when he heard this. He didn’t think that Saki would quickly detect his illness.
She even knows how to make him die in a painful and desperate way.
“Bastard! You… you are like your son… Both of you are both perverts…”
“Don’t leave me alive… otherwise… I’ll… I’ll…”
“Hahahaha…” Saki laughed loudly: “Now, even if you can’t breathe, what will you use to kill me?”
“Alec! I will let you feel the pain that my son felt.”
“I will let you die in despair, hahahaha…”
“Pff!” Alec was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood. The blood he just spat out was purple and had an extremely terrible stench.
“I swear… I swear… if I live… I will kill you… Tear you into a million pieces… I swear…”
“Huh!” Saki said contemptuously: “Take care of yourself first.”
“Who!”
Suddenly, Saki sensed danger and shouted. A black vortex appeared in front of her, and a hand resembling that of a puppet reached out.
That hand had sharp claws on its five fingertips, like five blades.
Seeing that, Saki was a bit startled and retreated back. The claw slashed towards her, forming five dazzling sword lights.
“Huh! You want to use this weak skill to defeat me?”
Saki shouted contemptuously, she clenched her fists, and her muscles tensed up like balloons.
“Destroy!”
BAM!
Saki swung her right arm, punching the air, however… the atmosphere exploded with a deafening explosion.
A stream of air pressure appeared and shot towards the five sword lights.
BAM!
Another terrible explosion rang out, the space shook violently, and dust covered everywhere.
A shock wave appeared and spread out in one wave, blowing away all the surrounding dust.
Saki could now see the puppet clearly. It was about two metres tall, and its body was full of joints as if it were made from some kind of wood.
The special thing is that it has no face and has two bat-like wings on its back.
“Who are you?” Saki frowned and shouted.
The puppet spoke; the voice was like ten people speaking at the same time; it was impossible to distinguish between men and women: “Demon Lord.”
