The Academy's Weakest Became A Demon-Limited Hunter

Chapter 211-221: Alice Subjugation (7-17)

Isaac's grip on her wrist felt very oppressive.

Alice recalled the contract she had made with the demon to protect the Heart Kingdom and her dear colleagues and friends.

If she failed, she would have to face a price that would result in many deaths.

Therefore, the only way to prevent this was to break the bonds of the contract.

The method was simple.

Just die.

To act this way now was merely hypocrisy. After all, hadn't she already tried to massacre many people?

Yet, if there was no longer a reason to fight.

Alice hoped that no one else would die.

"You see, don't you?"

"Are you giving up on everything?"

"I have no choice."

"Why?"

"If I don't die now, something truly dangerous will come."

Now that there was nothing left to hide, Alice spoke the truth.

Danger is coming.

The doubts that had been obscured by a thick fog finally cleared. Only then could Isaac completely resolve his dilemma about how to deal with Alice.

"So, there's nothing I can do..."

"But still, don't die."

"What?"

Alice had become a major traitor who would undoubtedly be executed by the empire. The situation had far exceeded what the academy could manage.

However, it was a choice forced upon her. Alice was driven by the need to protect the lives of her loved ones.

Dying so pointlessly just didn't make sense.

"Don't die in vain here."

"What do you know to say something like that—?"

"And!"

After all, the Evil God will be resurrected soon.

Therefore, Alice. If you have failed to destroy this world, you are inevitably going to pay for your sins.

"Live beside me and atone. No matter how dangerous it gets, I'll fend it off."

Join me and fight against the Evil God. Isaac intended to persuade her that battling the Evil God would be her atonement.

Knowing the full story, Isaac thought that he might be able to enlist the substantial force of the Heart Kingdom for the future battle against the Evil God.

He didn't want to miss this perfect opportunity. He was determined to resolve any issues tied to the empire.

Alice's eyes widened and her expression hardened. After a moment of speechlessness, she finally spoke.

"Why... do you say that?"

"Can't I say it?"

"..."

Alice intently stared at Isaac's face, heavily covered in both dirt and dust, riddled with wounds.

Suddenly, she remembered the previous day. It was the memory of playing with Isaac by the seaside.

It was very enjoyable. The feeling still lingered.

After drinking the last cup of black tea, Alice was able to endure the profound loneliness with the memory of that time.

It was ironic. The time spent with an enemy had given her the strength to endure the final night.
