My Destiny To Be Loved By The Villains[part 2 ]

Chapter 164: Branching Point (2)

"...Teach?"

Iliya's puzzled voice came from beside me.

That was probably her reaction after seeing me suddenly froze in place when an enemy as formidable as the Spirit Entity appeared before us.

System Message

[ The aura of the 'White Devil' is detected! ]

[ 'Fallen's Seal' reacts! ]

!!! Alert !!!

[ Emergency Event has occurred! ]

[ Target 'White Devil' is involved! ]

[ Upon failure, you will lose your 'soul'! ]

I knew this would happen, I felt it deep in my bones these days.

Of course such dangerous situations would come at the worst possible situation.

That was why...

I managed to instinctively realize that this was the crisis of a fucking lifetime the moment that window popped up, even though I hadn't fully 'register' what exactly had happened yet.'

A chill ran down my spine as my consciousness sank heavily, as if shutting down involuntarily.

"..."

Though the warning windows weren't filled with exclamation marks that always popped up whenever I got into a real danger, the fact that the White Devil's Aura was present while I was 'not wearing a mask' was a death sentence in itself.

Because the White Devil was different from others.

Normally, if a Vessel were to go berserk, that meant they lost their reason to a Devil's Malevolence, going batshit insane without a clear goal. In the White Devil's case, however, she moved with a certain purpose.

I probably have mentioned this a few times already.

Compared to how a normal person felt or acted, Devils' affections were often twisted in utterly incomprehensible ways. To put it simply, it was fucked up.

So, imagine there were those crazy bitches who'd find happiness from just being together with someone they liked. Even more so if they were to lock that person up and 'breed' them.

Yeah, this punk was the prime example of that kind of crazy bitch.

In other words...

If I did not do something right here and now...

I would die.

Well, I wouldn't actually die, but like, my 'life' as I knew it would end.

I might be breathing, but I'd be deprived of most values and rights that I should be able to enjoy as a human.

'Remaining time, 20 seconds.'

I didn't know from where, how, or in what form she would approach me.

But judging from my past experiences that were now engraved in my very soul, the grace period given when the White Devil saw one's 'face' in Sera was about that long.

'...Stay calm.'

Everyone, and I mean everyone, had the ability to learn.

After going through the same exact thing numerous times, anyone could develop an optimized routine of action.

I knew all too well that panicking in such times was utterly useless.

Putting aside the sense of crisis, I started checking the surroundings with an calm mind.
