chapter 14

Two giant magic wolves opened their maws to bite.

The fishy wind that hit her face made Alice’s heart tighten and her expression freeze on her face.

In a panic, she didn’t even got a chance to raise her rapier to fight back. Who knows when her condition will turn for the better. She can’t muster a trace of mana or auror.

Is it too late?

Am I going to…

Alice’s pearl-white teeth are clenched, her pretty face is deathly pale, and her heart began to relinquish the will to live.

“Stop.”

A male voice suddenly sounded behind Alice.

The two magic wolves stopped immediately. Seeing Merlin behind Alice, their scarlet eyes showed a shade of fear, their hair stood erect, and they trembled.

They lowered their heads and sniffed next to Alice. The magic wolves, who were ferocious previously, have become docile dogs, not daring to look up at Merlin. They issued aggrieved whimpers, hesitating to leave.

Alice has a bewildered look on her face, oblivious to what is going on.

The two ferocious magic wolves in front of her are reacting very strangely.

Who is the person behind me?

Why can he deter another person’s familiars?

Alice looked back, curious. The person who appeared before her eyes is the First Demon Palace’s Demon Lord, the man who has personally destroyed the Church’s crusader army.

Eh?

Lucifer III?

Why is he here?!

Don’t tell me, he didn’t want to let me go, so he came to chase after me?

It’s over! If it was only the magic wolves, there could still be hope! But in front of Lucifer III, there’s only a dead end!

Alice’s eyes are dull, her face turned even paler, her body shuddered unconsciously, her teeth chattered. Her fear reached a peak, and she almost fainted.

Recalling Lucifer III’s powerful show of strength when he slayed the Church’s majestic crusader army, the 233rd Hero gave up on her will to live, thinking that she should accept the fate of death calmly.

Merlin gazed at the two familiar-looking magic wolves. They must be Lilith’s familiars.

Although there are other great demon generals in the Demon Palace, but they don’t have the habit of raising familiars. Only Lilith likes to raise such things.

With their heads lowered, the two magic wolves circled around Alice and made whimpering sounds, looking pitiful.

They don’t dare to show their ferocity in front of Merlin, nor are they willing to leave just like that.

When he saw the strange behavior of the two magic beasts, Merlin realized what’s going on after a little thought.

“Go back and tell Lilith that this woman is mine.”

Her body shaking, her expression that of shock, Alice moved her lips, but no words came out.

Merlin’s statement is thought-provoking. Alice crooked her head in thought.

What does he mean with this statement?

What does he mean by saying that I’m his?

Sure enough, after seeing that I am cute, it stimulated his evil desires.

Does he want to violate and make me pregnant?

If I knew this, I would have worn a mask!

Dammit! A warrior can be killed, but not humiliated! Even if I die, I won’t allow anyone violate me!

A flush of anger surged on Alice’s pale face. She feels that she, a majestic Hero, is being humiliated.

Her pride wounded, she is determined not to let Merlin have his way! She is not a blowup doll, with whom you can do anything you want!

Alice grasped the rapier stealthily, intending to find a chance to make a surprise attack.

If the attack succeeds, she’ll make a ton of money. If it doesn’t, she’ll commit suicide. Anyway, she won’t let Merlin defile her.

Of course, if Merlin is into necrophilia, then Alice won’t escape even in death.

The two magic wolves looked at each other, then turned around and disappeared into the gloomy forest.

“Alice Claude? I heard your name in the palace. Anyway, to survive my sword, you’re really lucky. In fact, you’re the first one who managed to do this.” Merlin pointed to himself and smiled, saying —

“My name is Merlin Lucifer.”

“No, that’s not right…”

“I am no longer a Demon Lord, so my name is just Merlin.”

“From this moment on, your body belongs to me.”

“This is neither a request nor a negotiation, and much less a partnership.”

“This is a plain abduction. That’s right…”

“Beautiful lady, you have been kidnapped.”
