Chapter 892: Chapter 807: Tielle’s Decision
“What’s the matter?”
Seeing Shane’s face full of doubt about life, Tielle frowned, canceling her abilities while inquiring.
“N-no, nothing.”
Shane chuckled dryly, suppressing the waves of helplessness inside.
Tielle naturally didn’t know how much pressure her breakthrough progress brought to Shane.
She was never someone particularly good at thinking, rather, you might say she’s straightforward and even headstrong. Seeing Shane didn’t explain much, she ceased to question and directly voiced her thoughts.
“I want to challenge that man.”
As soon as these words left her mouth, Shane’s eyes immediately narrowed.
Of course, he knew exactly who the man Tielle was referring to.
“Aridia Elbein, huh?”
Shane murmured out loud.
“That’s right.”
Tielle nodded faintly, completely unaware of how astonishing her statement was.
At least, if there was a third party here, they would definitely be shocked by Tielle’s words.
“Do you know how strong your opponent is?” Shane reminded her, “That’s a top Tier Level 98 Legendary-level master, currently the number one in the Human Race. Are you sure you want to challenge him so soon?”
Shane wasn’t at all surprised about Tielle wanting to challenge Aridia.
With the disputes and links between this girl and that knight, the emergence of this challenge was bound to happen sooner or later.
Tielle had said more than once that she wanted to become stronger, stronger than that man.
In this way, perhaps she could rid herself of the shadows of her childhood and achieve true independence.
Shane never doubted that one day, Tielle would have the ability to challenge Aridia.
After all, being a blessing favored by the Goddess of Fate, even if not as special as Luoqi, Tielle was undoubtedly a prodigy of the Human Race, with talent and potential even above Aridia.
Moreover, Tielle is so independent and strong. Given time, she will definitely grow stronger than Aridia.
By then, it wouldn’t be too late for Tielle to challenge him again.
But even Shane didn’t expect this day to come so soon.
So soon that it felt a bit unreal to Shane, making him worry a little.
Hence, Shane couldn’t help but open his mouth to advise.
“You’re still young now, your strength is still rapidly improving, your horns aren’t even fully grown, and there’s very much room for growth, so why rush?”
Shane meant to let Tielle develop for a while longer.
Currently, Tielle was still just an Upper Level Tier 78 warrior, still a long way from a Tier 90 Legendary level, not to mention Tier 98, not far from the Limit Level.
Even though a level doesn’t mean everything, compared to levels and skills, the power of Unique Skills is also crucial, and everyone’s growth rate when leveling up is not the same; some are big, some are small. Tielle isn’t without the possibility of defeating Aridia, but in Shane’s perspective, that possibility isn’t very large at the moment.
“Even with the ability of [Ghostification], I think you should at least advance to the Legendary level first.”
That’s the advice Shane gave.
Once she reaches Tier 90, with the ability of [Ghostification], it wouldn’t be too difficult for Tielle to defeat Aridia.
Unfortunately…
“I want to try.”
Tielle did not refute Shane’s words, nor did she plan to back down, she said while staring straight at Shane.
In her eyes, Shane saw a resolve to break through all barriers without looking back.
It wasn’t gambling everything on one bet; it was just about challenging her target, challenging her limits.
“Even if I lose, I believe this battle will become the nourishment for my growth, making me stronger.”
Tielle expressed herself decisively.
But Shane had to say…
“Your odds are very low.” Shane met Tielle’s gaze and spoke bluntly: “Even if the ability of [Ghostification] is very powerful, it needs time to develop, and I don’t think Aridia will allow you to continuously become stronger.”
This is the downside of the powerful Unique Skill [Ghostification].
That is, even if it is not out of control and can be activated at will, it also needs time to absorb magic power and transform into strength, so that Tielle can become increasingly strong.
Even though theoretically, this is an ability that can ignore limits and continuously enhance strength, realistically, the enhancement brought by this ability does require time; it cannot happen instantly.
Back then, Shane suppressed Tielle when her [Ghostification] had not developed yet.
And Aridia, as Tielle’s father, had been monitoring her since she was young due to her [Ghostification] ability, keeping her by his side to prevent any sudden outbursts. He must be very well aware of [Ghostification’s] weakness, and he definitely wouldn’t allow Tielle to develop in a battle.
As long as Aridia reacts swiftly, he can close the distance in an instant as soon as Tielle activates [Ghostification] and defeat her while the “Ghost” inside her isn’t too strong.
Tielle’s chances of winning are really not high.
Tielle naturally understood this point.
But…
“I want to try.”
It was as if Tielle compressed all her thoughts and considerations into those four words and expressed them once again.
“…”
Shane was left speechless.
Tielle didn’t say anything further, just kept looking at Shane.
After a long while, Shane let out a sigh.
“Alright.” Shane relented and said, “I will find the right time to help you set up a meeting with him.”
Upon hearing this, Tielle nodded heavily.
The next moment, the young girl once again threw herself into Shane’s arms.
“Play me.”
Such blunt and crude words spilled out from the girl’s mouth.
The boiling blood within Shane was awakened, and he hugged Tielle without hesitation.
Soon, in the bathhouse, suggestive sounds began to emerge.
…
Meanwhile, in the outskirts of the Royal Capital, Laischa appeared while cursing silently.
“Damn scoundrel, trying to help you out, and this is how you repay me? May you find no toilet paper when you need it, shoes when you go out, step in demon feces, and be left at the altar on your wedding day.”
The demon girl cursed venomously towards Shane, clearly truly angered by him.
Until…
“You wouldn’t be cursing our unreliable hero, would you?”
With the rise of a chuckling voice, Laischa froze, her steps halted in mid-air, unable to proceed.
The sudden voice was so melodious, like a heavenly tune, a chant, making one’s heart itch and race upon hearing it.
This otherworldly voice poured over Laischa like cold water, calming the flame within her heart.
Yet Laischa felt no comfort, instead, she grew increasingly apprehensive.
“Tap!”
A figure floated down from mid-air, like a fairy descending from above lightly landing before Laischa, gazing at her with interest.
Laischa almost instantly comprehended the full appearance, struck by the figure’s stunning beauty.
What can she do?
The visitor was a breathtaking beauty.
One with a face pure as an angel and a figure fiery like a devil, possessing irresistible allure, as if embodying the concept of “beauty,” a rare gem.
Such peerless beauty, as far as Laischa knows, exists only one in all Omni Potanssen.
“Enchanting Demon, Chafne…”
Hoarsely, Laischa utters the name.
Indeed, it was Chafne.
Shane hadn’t yet returned, Chafne had already arrived.
“You’re the rumored prototype, aren’t you?” Chafne fixed her eyes on Laischa, studying her for a long while, then murmured as if sighing or lamenting, “You’re so alike.”
Those in the know understood whom she resembled.
Seeing her pitiable appearance, Laischa almost let her guard down.
(This woman, truly the one mentioned in the rumors, enough to enchant even a fellow woman.)
Laischa mused bitterly.
Mustering courage, she addressed Chafne.
“I never imagined Her Highness the Enchanting Demon would arrive, it’s indeed a lapse in etiquette.”
With that, Laischa bowed to Chafne.
Chafne, seemingly perceiving Laischa’s anxiety, once again spoke with a chuckle.
“Rest assured, I won’t harm you.” Chafne smiled, “We demons have agreements with the three gods of the Divine World and the royal family of Mitra Kingdom. In light of your origins, we don’t interfere excessively with you, so there’s no need to worry about me taking away your little maid, nor doing anything to you.”
Nevertheless…
“If you wish to follow me, that’s another matter, isn’t it?”
Said Chafne, suddenly appearing before Laischa, lifting her chin, gazing at her familiar and enchanting face with a meaningful smile.
“You…!?”
Laischa recoiled in shock, unable to move, with her entire body stiff.
There was no reason other than the breathtakingly beautiful face merely five centimeters away from her.
Gazing at that face, Laischa felt a temptation to surrender to it.
“Alright, I’ll stop teasing you now.”
Chafne released her grip at the right moment, turning away, leaving her back turned.
Laischa, snapped back to reality, was startled into a cold sweat.
Just now, she almost fell into the Enchanting Demon’s snare.
Realizing this made Laischa reluctant even to look at Chafne’s back, she lowered her head directly.
“Th…Thank you, Your Highness.”
Laischa tremblingly uttered.
Chafne now seemed disinterested in Laischa, dismissively waving her hand while facing away.
“Judging by your involvement with our hero, we might encounter each other again.” Chafne glanced at Laischa and said, “When the opportunity arises, show me the maid you crafted from your mother’s remains, will you?”
Leaving these words, Chafne vanished.
“Sigh…”
Only then did Laischa breathe heavily, speaking with a lingering sense of dread.
“What a terrifying woman.”
Such a woman appearing solo before the Three Clans meeting, who knows if it’s fortune or calamity.
The only certainty was, from the moment she stepped into the Royal Capital, the place would cease to be peaceful.
“Hopefully, this mercurial demon won’t trouble us too much.”
That’s all Laischa could pray for.
Whether it’s effective or not is another matter entirely.
