In the villa.
Tsukasa pondered how to handle this matter next. First of all, this place certainly wouldn't stay hidden for long; after all, she hadn't thought about hiding this place at the beginning. It was only after the Night Sky Pavilion was established and that one Adventurers Guild incident occurred that she thought of letting Eidor cast some illusions near this villa. But as long as they followed the trail, the Hero's group would eventually find this place.
"He's just a Hero; do you really need to be that worried?" Sophia, who was beside her and knew about this matter, wasn't afraid at all; she was even looking forward to trying to fight that one Hero.
"The Holy Sword is in the Hero's hands. If we don't deal with that thing, we all have to be careful of an attack from this sword."
"As long as we don't give him the chance to use the Holy Sword, it'll be fine. The Hero's attributes are just those of a weakling."
Sophia reached out and made a pinching motion in the air. "Without that Holy Sword, I could kill him with one hand."
Isn't that obvious? If it weren't for the Holy Sword, she wouldn't be this nervous. The Hero's title effect is useless against her; she is a Witch, not a Demon Lord.
"Oh, it's useless for you to be so nervous; your hiding place here isn't very secure anyway."
"If you ask me, if you're afraid, why don't you come back to the Demon Race with me?"
Sophia felt that Tsukasa was really making a big deal out of nothing.
No matter how strong the Holy Sword is.
That also depends on who is using it.
With that one guy's weakling attributes, she could completely cut off his hand before the Hero even picks up the Holy Sword. If she really felt she couldn't win, then at worst, she could just run back to the Demon Race's territory and hide.
In any case, that one group of the Hero's certainly couldn't break through the Demon Race's army and rush into the Demon Kings Castle to use the Holy Sword against them. Perhaps they could even trick that one guy's Holy Sword out of him midway; the Holy Sword is, after all, just a one-time item.
Tsukasa ignored her.
Go to the Demon Race?
Impossible.
She could never go to the Demon Race!
The Hero was only a bit of a threat to her, but the Demon Lord could truly take her life. Right now, she still didn't know where that one sense of crisis was coming from; she felt the possibility of the Demon Lord was a bit higher.
"Are you sure you want to stay?"
"Of course. Seeing how scared you are, how about I go up and help you lead the charge? Don't look at me like this, I have an Immortality Skill. Even if the Holy Sword can kill me once, it doesn't matter. Rather, I think that one magic of yours is even more of a threat than the Holy Sword."
Tsukasa frowned and asked, "Are you sure the Holy Sword's attack cannot bypass that one Immortality Skill?"
"Not sure." Sophia touched her head. "I heard my master say that the Holy Sword seems to be able to slay gods."
Then what use is that one Immortality Skill of yours? Tsukasa decided to stop paying attention to this person; everything she said was useless. If she really let her lead the charge, she'd likely just give up the first kill.
"How about we get a giant spider to guard the door? If the Hero doesn't use the Holy Sword, he might not necessarily be able to deal with those giant spiders; maybe we can bait out the Holy Sword."
"Are you talking about the Demon Lord's few subordinates?"
"Yes, I just need to mention it to the Demon Lord, and she will definitely agree. I'll contact her right now!"
Tsukasa thought about it.
Although the Demon Lord was currently highly suspicious, just one subordinate shouldn't be a problem.
While she was still considering.
Sophia had already presumptuously contacted the Demon Lord. "Hey, Demon Lord, help! The Hero is about to attack, I need support!"
Ariel in the Demon Kings Castle received that one cute news and couldn't help but smile for a moment.
A man wearing black armor behind her said at this time, "Don't forget what I just told you. If you don't want to help, then don't interfere!"
"Do you want me to sit by and watch you hurt the person Little White wants to protect?" Demon Lord Ariel squinted her eyes at Black.
"By sacrificing her alone, the world can be saved, and she can also be liberated. Do you still need to consider it?" The man named Black, the Ninth Legion Commander of the Demon Lords Army, whose true name is Chulidis Tyece, said in a cold tone, "This is the hint she personally gave me, and as you've seen, the powers she uses are outside the system's specifications."
"Oh, but I'm not talking about that one matter,
I'm talking about your plan to ignore White's opinion and move against her person while she is evolving? White is not such an easy person to talk to. Do you think you can beat White after she finishes this evolution?"
Chulidis was right; she was indeed very tempted when she first heard that one news.
If it were her former self, she would certainly have made the same choice as him without a second word.
But her current self, influenced by White, instead felt that this was not a good choice.
"She cannot beat me, and she definitely cannot beat Her," Chulidis said very seriously. "Even if she can beat me after evolving, she could never be Her opponent."
He was very clear about the fact that he was a useless Dragon God; that one guy White, relying on D's help, would sooner or later surpass him.
But White certainly couldn't beat the Goddess; Sariel is a proper Angel God, a God of War.
She is much stronger than him.
"Aren't you afraid of the one behind that one Reincarnator taking action? that one warned you that you cannot enter the field, and your current actions have already broken the rules."
This was exactly what Ariel was worried about.
No one knows what D is thinking. Even if sacrificing Tsukasa could temporarily save the world, wouldn't it be simple for that one Evil God to destroy the world?
Chulidis thought of that one Evil God.
He was silent for a while.
"Whenever I wanted to deal with White, she would always appear before me at the first opportunity, but this time I tested it, and she did not appear."
That's right.
Chulidis didn't decide rashly.
Upon receiving the hint sent by the Goddess, he immediately talked to himself toward the air.
If he were to deal with White, then that one miraculous phone would have long since come out to give a warning; however, D hasn't appeared until now, which means she doesn't care about this matter.
Ariel shook her head.
"By doing this, you are still giving that one guy an excuse to turn against you in the future. Perhaps that one guy plans to wait until you've finished this matter before jumping out to say you violated the rules; at that time, everything will be over. Compared to your adventurous approach, I still feel our original plan is better."
"With the original plan, and without that one Old Bug causing trouble, the chance of success is already very high."
To this, Chulidis only said one sentence: "Those are the humans she wants to protect, yet you plan to sacrifice the lives of these humans!"
If it were originally a situation where there were no other options, he would naturally support Ariel and the others' plan. But now there is a better way, and She has even proactively lowered a hint.
Was there even a choice?
He wanted to protect her.
He also wanted to protect the humans she wanted to protect.
Back then.
It was for her sake that he stayed on this planet.
At the moment they mentioned D.
The Underworld.
D was behind a small TV.
Looking at them causing trouble with great anticipation.
"Interesting. Of course I won't stop you, because I don't need to stop you from seeking death."
D was so amused she even wanted to watch the show with some cola and potato chips. Little Tsukasa has someone behind her, so there's no need for her to take action at all; she was actually quite looking forward to this stupid dragon and dumb angel being able to force out that one guy behind Little Tsukasa.
