Why must the devil be Defeated?

"So that's what people are saying, huh?"

Chafne, meanwhile, appeared unfazed and seemed thoroughly amused by Shane's blunder, her eyes brimming with slyness.

"You two big dummies."

All Shane could do was dig at his ear, rolling his eyes in response.

The Rock Giants immediately grew angry.

"Who are you?"

"You don't appear to be of the Demon Clan, yet you dare to get so close to Lady Chafne, how dare you!"

A frightening aura began to emanate from the two Rock Giants.

It felt as if a heavy mountain had descended from the heavens and crushed down upon him with a heavy sensation, causing Shane's shoulders to sink slightly.

However, almost instantly, Shane's shoulders returned to normal, his expression utterly composed.

"Eh?"

The two Rock Giants expressed their surprise in unison.

Clearly, they hadn't expected this seemingly diminutive human to be able to withstand the pressure they were exerting.

Ignoring the reaction of the two Rock Giants, Shane looked toward Chafne.

"You're asking me to come with you; surely it's not just to have someone intimidate me, is it?"

Shane's gaze toward Chafne became visibly unfriendly.

"If I really wanted to put you in your place, I would've done it myself long ago. Why would I bother to beat around the bush and get someone else to do it?"

Chafne seemed to relish in Shane's antagonism, nodding satisfactorily while continuing to smile without a hint of anger.

"Well, that makes sense..."

Shane found this reasoning solid and relaxed his brows.

In contrast, the two Rock Giants' expressions changed, their auras not only undiminished but intensifying even further.

The reason was simple.

(Lady Chafne seems quite pleased...?)

(Does Her Highness favor this human?)

As these thoughts flashed through the minds of the two Rock Giants, their eyes, as solid as rock, involuntarily blazed with jealousy.

Unable to help themselves, they unleashed their full pressure, seeking to subdue Shane.

Feeling the oppression becoming heavier and heavier, Shane's recently relaxed brows furrowed once more.

He turned to look at the two Rock Giants, a hint of cold light flashing in his eyes.

"...!"

The Rock Giants suddenly stiffened as if they were prey eyed by a terrifying beast.

"You..."

"He..."

The Rock Giants looked at Shane with eyes full of uncertainty and doubt.

Bathed in their gaze, Shane gradually reined in the magic power that was on the verge of bursting forth.

"What exactly are you trying to do?"

The tone of Shane's voice turned sour.

This question was naturally directed at Chafne.

Instead of intervening, Chafne had merely watched the spectacle with great interest, not stepping in to stop it.

Her schadenfreude and desire to stir chaos only served to infuriate Shane.

Chafne, however, wore an innocent face.

"I certainly didn't tell them to do that."

Chafne explained with a pitiful look.

Unfortunately for her, Shane was no longer buying what she was selling.

"...I believe I've mentioned before not to play with me just because you think it's fun, haven't I?"

Shane took a deep breath, glanced at Chafne, then turned and walked away.

Upon seeing this, the feigned innocence and pitiful look on Chafne's face vanished completely.

"Wait a second." Chafne quickly grabbed Shane's hand, her face one of helplessness, "Alright, I admit it's my fault. I can't help but want to tease you, but I didn't realize your temper was so fiery. You're practically on par with Ai Yi; no wonder you hit it off."

"Sorry, I'm just that hot-headed," Shane said, as his heart raced and he quickly withdrew his hand.

The Enchanting Demon's hand was alarmingly smooth, softer than cotton, and the feel of it was frighteningly pleasant, giving Shane a tingling sensation, as if he'd touched electricity.

Indeed, befitting of an Enchanting Demon, every aspect of her seemed to possess an unparalleled seductive allure and magnetic charm.

Shane couldn't help but worry that if he kept close company with such a poisonous woman, he might unwittingly succumb.

"(Could it be, this is her purpose?)"

Shane looked at Chafne with eyes full of caution.

That thief-like gaze made Chafne both want to cry and laugh.

"Just admit it, you and Little Ai Yi make a pair, don't you? Even this cautious demeanor of yours is almost identical!"

Isn't it?

To know, Ai Yi was just like this, viewing Chafne as a formidable tiger, perpetually wary of her.

Under such circumstances, no wonder Chafne felt both amused and frustrated.

But, in Chafne's heart, Shane's score unconsciously rose another two points, reaching ninety-two.

This man was truly interesting, just like Little Ai Yi.

Thinking of this, Chafne's face broke into a smile again.

"Let's go, come and sit with me for a while."

Chafne reached out her hand to Shane again.

"What do you want?"

Shane quickly dodged.

"I'm not doing anything," Chafne blinked and said, "I just want to take you back for a chat, that's all."

"Chat? Then keep your hands to yourself!" Shane, still full of caution, said, "Moreover, I don't want to make idle chat with you. I just want to get in touch with Ai Yi as soon as possible, so she can come pick me up."

This Enchanting Demon Territory, Shane didn't want to stay for a moment longer.

"Don't worry, someone will come to pick you up." Chafne said leisurely as if she couldn't hear Shane's urgency: "Little Ai Yi has already informed her sisters, and now the Six Great Demons are all searching for you guys."

"Really?" Shane finally felt a bit more energized and quickly asked, "Have the people accompanying me been found yet?"

"Well, you could say that," Chafne said with a light smile, "Your little dragon pet happened to fall into the Dragon Demon Territory and was spotted by Little Ai Yi's subordinate. She should be on her way to pick her up now."

"That subordinate of Little Ai Yi, Jiasinta, is also fine; though he fell into the Ghost Demon Territory, he's no fool in the Demon Realm. Once he finds the twin Magic Lives that follow him, he will return on his own."

"And that little Evil God, she's fine too, just landed in the Poison Demon Territory. Reportedly, she's rampaging around in desperation, attracting the attention of countless clans, getting surrounded many times, yet she wiped out all the blocking Demon Clan members, causing quite the stir. Supposedly, that girl Camina is quite angry, so I guess, she'll run over and have a go with the little Evil God?"

The things Chafne said lightheartedly at first reassured Shane, but what she said next made his heart tighten again.

"Poison Demon Camina?" Shane furrowed his brows and said, "She's going to act against Lilith?"

"Probably?" Chafne said indifferently, "Camina's temper is no less fiery than yours or Little Ai Yi's. With that Evil God causing such chaos on her turf, it would be weird if she wasn't fuming."

Upon hearing this, Shane was silent for a while, his tightly furrowed brows suddenly relaxed.

"What?" Chafne wanted to tease Shane again, coaxingly said, "Aren't you worried?"

"Worried about what?" Shane replied calmly, "I'm very clear about Lilith's strength. In a one-on-one situation, unless it's Moon Demon Sela, no one else should think of easily harming her."

"That's because you don't know how terrifying Camina can be," Chafne deliberately provoked Shane, "She is the Poison Demon, with poison throughout her body, capable of creating intense toxicity at will. Her poison is something even Transcend Level beings can't ignore. Even a single drop can turn the land into a deadly poisoned wasteland, one step upon which is enough to claim a life."

That's the ability of the Poison Demon, and the terrifying power that makes countless people shudder.

However...

"I believe she can't harm Lilith."

Shane said this with absolute certainty.

"So confident, huh?" Chafne looked at Shane, her eyes flickering, then she smiled and said, "Let's see whether my sister is more formidable, or that little Evil God by your side is."

Saying this, Chafne grabbed Shane's hand as quickly as lightning strikes.

"Now, come inside with me, and keep me company to relieve my boredom."

With a happy face, Chafne pulled Shane into Enchanting Demon Castle.

"Wait, let me walk on my own!"

Shane's cry was exceptionally loud.

"This..."

The ignored Rock Giant brothers were in disarray.

What's the situation now?

Were they being ignored?

Who was this human? Why was he so intimate with the Princess?

The Rock Giant brothers exchanged looks, feeling utterly confused.

"Lord Chafne!"

A streak of light flew by rapidly, also ignoring the Rock Giant brothers, and rushed into the Enchanting Demon Castle.

The Rock Giants immediately began to question their existence.

Could it be that they weren't large enough?

To be ignored like this?
