So how does one gets a role, is it their morality, personality or the action one seizes in their lives? Instead of one, all of these asures their worth and scale their category, and determine their fate. But who would’ve thought I’d encounter one of the things I hated the most, an undesirable twist
[Here we are, the imperial room of the princess of the holy empire, guess those guards aren’t that strong. Is this the reason why the demons were sealed? I thought ifget caught we would’ve died by their hands, but isn’t this a little one-sided? All of the guards that notices you weren’t able to last even about a second in your presence]

Chapter 74 Blessing of the divine
Even though our team lost two of our comrades in these two trials have passed I wasn’t able to forget about them
Shin chaerim, the assassin who sacrifices her life in ans of making the others escape the attacks of raging hyenas
And the one who we t in the first half of the labyrinth, Christopher Morris. Lacking in talent, he was a mage who was quick to adapt to his need and was soone who fought to the bitter end
He was supposed to be the replacent for our damage dealer, but tragedy struck and he gave away his life when we fell into a trap
I can’t take it anymore, these people who died in front of my eyes, why would they sacrifice their lives?
Even if I were the number one player and I was the only one who completed this shitty ga from start to finish. Why, why did they have to die!!?
But in the third trial, im relieved even if soone dies it won’t be their end, these bodies are just replacents
Even if we’re killed our original bodies won’t die, this ti I’ll have to do whatever it takes to grow stronger. I don’t want to see anyone else die and to do that, I need an audience with the future saint. Luckily for , I already knew who the Saint was, it was the holy empire’s princess
__________________________
’If I pieced together my newly discovered knowledge and the ones inside my book I concluded one thing. The saintess will be the one who’ll be the ssenger of the divine and will bless her people and the heroes with an incredible buff. But I never intended to kill her, I just need to kidnap and locked her away until the ti is right and I can give her back,’
The guards surrounding the only ans of gaining an audience of their empire’s treasure were brutally murdered. Blood spilled over the carpet and their bones scattered and decorated the walls and sared them with their blood. Even though they possess a hint of heavenly aura, it wasn’t enough to combat soone like him and they’ve proven to be re insects to be stomped
"I guess we’re a little too early, the saintess hasn’t even awakened her powers and this is the best course of action I’d taken. Shall we greet her? It’s about ti I et the one that’ll be the greatest threat to the demon race, now show yourself, princess, ~" When he opened the door leading to the imperial princess’s lodgings he never felt any sense of relief
It was the opposite, to say the least, and he never once lowered his guard, and that’s when he notices her presence. A blinding light ca on top of the chandeliers and he was shortly unable to grasp his situation with his eye. He heard so steps getting stronger by the second and the light affected him unlike any other, in response he showed his might. He intentionally made his unknown enemy be baited for it to close onto his location and perform a killing blow
’Hold on, why does this feel too familiar?’
The steps grew louder and he felt the aura of his enemy getting stronger, and he counters by changing his stance. He lowered his posture and avoided a powerful thrust of the enemy’s attack aiming for his face. At the end of his opponent’s attack, he counters by sending his fist and he aims it at the enemy’s abdon
"For a personal guard, you’re not half bad?" When he regained his vision, he walks closer to the crater he sentence his enemy and hold them by their neck
When he attempted on appraising the armored individual, his jaws dropped along with his grip and the individual was released. He couldn’t believe what he saw, his enemy was none other than the future saintess also known as the imperial treasure. To put matters at worst, instead of an npc, it was a player and the one who was piloting this character was none other than
"God damn it, who the hell are ya? Don’t get any ideas pal, I don’t know who you are but I can beat your ass. It’s a pity that I don’t have a sword in hand and I had to rely on training this body for my martial arts," That tone of voice and the way she spoke and not to say that her hair was cut to fit her deanor
Instead of graceful behavior, it beca flamboyant, caring beca brutal, and politeness beca rude. But even after all these changes the heart was never changed, this person had always been kind-hearted and cared in her way of doing things. But she was far from a princess and close to a savage who survived all on her own
"Esther Landers?" Apart from her behavior, he notices the description of long and elegant blonde hair was never to be seen. Though she never had a blade in this room, she had a pair of scissors held by her left hand. She intended on stabbing an intruder after she knocked them unconscious with a fierce and powerful blow of her fist
"Huh...? This fucker knows my na? Who exactly are you, just tell whether you’re my ally or my enemy?" She stands back up after she tore her dress and she was free of moving, and she masterfully wields the scissors like a one-handed knife
"Christopher Morris, nice to et you," She was stunned by his appearance, and she was certain of his identity
When he showed her the gesture of his right hand reaching for her own she was convinced it was him. It was the sa thing he did in their first encounter and the way he acts and the aura he displayed were the sa. But instead of reaching to shake his hand, her face beca so red and she turns around and covers her face
’Ahhhhh!!! Just kill already!!! I thought that was an intruder, but it was Morris for fucks sake, I did it now, I showed him that side of again. Even though Silas told ti and ti again that I should act more like a girl instead of a ruffian. I blew it, I wonder what he thinks about now, im such a loser when it ca about sothing like this,’
In her anger and frustration, she notices his cold hands reaching the top of her head and caressing with such gentle strokes
"Hahahaha, you always crack up when you act like that, im glad you haven’t changed, it suits you. I didnt an about the dress, but you should just be more open about yourself, you shine the most when you’re honest. Plus I’ve already told you before, I like it if you weren’t that polite to ," His words further brightened her face and she was incapable of looking directly into his eyes for so ti
"So that explains why your role is different, I can’t believe that’s your kill count, seriously 1,768 players? That’s a ton of people, including the ones on the 2nd trial, I guess you can’t escape that. Even though I killed a ton as well, most of them did sothing immoral. And I was always the one who avoids killing in all of our group, even though I ranked third in our kill count," Once their preparations were over, she pounces on him and left the castle for everyone to see
"Dreadful wings activate," The imperial palace was brought upside down when a figure of absolute chaos appeared for all to see
He dons a pair of black wings and his presence was the arrival of pure and uncontrollable chaos. The Demon King appears and the thing he carries is this empire’s greatest treasure, the princess herself. The civilians were confused and the players were shocked about the turn of events even Hugo and his team were stunned by this turn of event
"Hear , im Uberious Voidriel 3rd incarnation of the being born from absolute chaos itself known for the title Demon King. One of your own invaded the very land in which you’ve imprisoned us and because of that, you’ve felt my wrath. If you wish for your princess then bring the head of the one who betrayed your trust, I shall not speak of its na. You must be held accountable and for that, you must investigate the culprit," Even though the townspeople were seeing a crying maiden in their sights, she was by no ans in despair
To say the least, she was enjoying her ti being carried by the one she admired and she couldn’t help but cry tears full of joy. They’ve exit once he conveyed his ssage and she felt the cold winds in their journey. Because of that, he wasn’t able to ignore and hold her tightly to share his heat, and they perfectly executed their plan
