Chapter 119 - Princess
Delia's heart sank as she pondered her misfortune. Tears threatened to spill from her eyes. Why did bad things always seem to happen to good people like her? Admittedly, she had slipped up and spilled a secret to her cousin, but she had a perfectly plausible excuse in mind.
She planned to claim that Kon had used his silver tongue to manipulate her into doing his bidding. He had taken advantage of her trust and schemed his way into betraying ...

Chapter 118 - The Road Of Life
“By the way, did you know you’re getting married to a princess?” The sadistic look in my cousin’s eyes made it clear why she would say something like that. She licked her lips and added. “Congratulations. I will finally accomplish my dream and be a bridesmaid.”
Me? Married? My mind shut down for a couple of seconds. After coming back to my senses, I said. “I didn’t think you would lie about something like this just to...

Chapter 117 - The Battle is Over!
Delia stared at her cousin. He lay on the ground and took a bite of a pizza slice someone had brought him. Then he offered his demon a piece of his pizza.
The demon's name was Carpy or something.
"At least they weren't insensitive enough to bring a tuna pizza," Kon nudged at his fish and smiled. While Carpy nodded and his body shook, which was a sign of him nodding, shaking, or laughing. Maybe it was all three at the same ti...

Chapter 116 - Beasts and Monsters
Water blades rained down on the Demonic Exorcist’s exposed organs. We were already underwater, so the blades were camouflaged.
But even though I went all out and used a lot of Ord, the Demonic Exorcist’s skin was hard to cut, and it took over a dozen attacks to bisect him. His lower and upper bodies separated, and blood and chunks of meat turned the water around him crimson.
The Demonic Exorcist didn’t take the attack ...

Agon, Sei, and everyone else disappeared from my mind.
I was the main character of my story.
It might be a shitty story about a character who was not that brave, strong, or intelligent. However, I wasn’t dumb or lucky enough to be considered a Shounen main character either.
If my story were a book, no one would read it.
I took off my glasses and stared at the crack on them. “Even being the smart character who man...

Chapter 114 - The Fight Against The Demonic Exorcist
I wasn’t sure what my self-proclaimed rival was up to.
Was he mad? Yeah… that wasn’t even a question.
Exorcists surrounded him, and even Ellen was here. His demons around the city were all dead, and knowing him and since the Red Tails members were no longer around, they were probably dead.
"Oh, nice to see that I can get my revenge so soon," Ellen's gaze turned cold.
A demon burst out of ...

Apollo felt the strength drain out of his body, and spots of darkness clouded his vision.
The seals twisted and turned, and they started becoming only smudges on the walls. When the seal was at the last peg, it stopped spinning.
Apollo cringed and felt like crying. He added another five years of his own lifespan, and the dark seal turned into a smudge.
He fell to his knees. 'Damn it! 15 years of my lifespan, gone ju...

Ellen’s blast had revered the Cursed Corpse technique and given the corpse some of the sentience it had when it was alive. Her demon worked with the literal power of love and turned it into a tangible force.
I didn’t know how her technique did it. But I assumed this was some kind of power of love bullshit. Now wasn't the time to question everything I knew about this world and whether there was logic to the power of love.

I always assumed that after experiencing a lot of danger, I would eventually grow used to it. I had hoped there would come a day when my decisions and emotions wouldn't get influenced by risk.
Sadly, real life wasn't a Hollywood movie. Fearing something didn't mean the dread would magically disappear by getting used to it. That was part of human nature, to fear dangerous shit.

When one thought of the higher-ups, most assumed that they were the ruling body of the exorcists. The clan heads, nobles, and the royal family worked together to rule over the peasants.
But that couldn't be further from the truth. Like every other organization where so many people were involved, everyone looked out for their own interests.
The royals wanted more authority, the old nobles wanted a longer life by usin...

I didn’t know how strong he was. The Dark Sword Clan Head, my father’s brother, my uncle.

But Roc was a dangerous opponent, even with one arm. His Ord was just as intense, and this guy was the same person who had thrown down against a raging Agon in a fistfight.

Delia ran through the maze-like hallways of the Colosseum.
She didn’t even look behind her, and heard the barbarian smashing through walls to catch her.

Nothing worked against this monstrous guy! Was his skin made of steel?!

Bets’ weapon exploded into a hail of nails that followed Thirty-Seven as he ran. The silver-haired exorcist winced as the projectiles were catching up to him.
Ord was a very obsessive energy, and until Thirty-Seven got hit, those nails would follow him forever. Also, those nails had so much Ord in them that getting hit by even one of them was dangerous.
‘This must be Bets’ trump card.’ Anika concluded.

Ah, I see. So that’s why she was so happy....
