Elfheim. This word alone embodies many and varied ideas, as well as the dreams of ordinary people. Dense forests, rare plants, and never-before-seen animals dazzle the eyes of traders with their beauty and preciousness.
Greed—that's what drives each of them. It would be foolish to say that the war between Elfheim and Avalonia was spontaneous and entirely unexpected. For two hundred years, these two kingdoms have been stealing resources, including human ones, from each other.
Do you think that Elfheim is a haven for saints? No, not at all. There is filth everywhere, and no one in this world is clean. Anyone who wishes to get power in his hands must be willing to dye himself red with blood.
Was Amaria a fair woman? In part, yes. But her orders led to considerable casualties among the elves and humans. The interracial war has erupted with renewed vigor, and given the greedy intentions of both sides, can we expect this war to end?
During the quiet yet restless night, Adam stood straight, and his eyes were as serious as ever. When he returned home, he said goodbye to the two maids, who still hugged him and cried for a long time, not wanting him to leave.
However, Adam could only mercilessly reject them and, after some consolation, leave. And so, on his way out of the capital, he was met by a familiar woman. Although, would it be more correct to say that a very, very familiar woman
Amarantha.
She was known to him through the space of the system, and it was obvious that Adam was not very happy about such an encounter with Amarantha. His heart was pounding, and there was the sound of horses marching on the ground.
Yet the woman paid him no attention, as if his existence were no more important than a stone in the road. Her long, silky black hair fluttered in the wind while her deep green eyes were darkened, as if her mind were in turmoil.
With her slender and attractive figure, Amarantha was very beautiful against the full moon, and her elegant black gothic dress only complimented her image, giving a striking impression of the Goddess of Darkness.
Adam's slow steps stopped when the distance between them was no more than five meters.
There was silence—no rustling of leaves, no sounds of animals—and it was as if the wind had stopped. With each passing second, Adam felt suffocated and realized that the situation was getting worse, but he was incapable of doing anything.
The magical energy froze in his magical channels as if it had solidified. It felt like when you jumped out of a helicopter, your parachute didn't open. That's how Adam felt when his one strength didn't work.
However, except for the choking and the bad mood, Adam experienced no side effects. And to be honest, Amarantha did not release a drop of her murderous aura but stood looking up at the sky as if searching for something, or maybe even someone.
Adam pursed his lips, and his eyes glazed over slightly as he saw the barriers around Amarantha's head. And... Adam was very surprised to find that there was only one barrier, which was not normal.
"I mean, we've never seen each other before." Adam frowned, and he thought it strange.
Did he leave that impression on her? Adam was unsure of the answer to that question, for they had not met in person before. So the chance that Adam could somehow seduce her or leave a good impression was nil.
"Then... did she recognize my identity?" Adam sighed and felt the puzzle begin to come together into a whole picture.
The Mask of Deception is a cheap but good item that gave Adam the ability to change his face as he wished. The only downside was that Adam could only change his face, but otherwise, it was fine.
Even Elara, who was at "A" rank, could not see through his disguise, which enabled Adam to seduce her and make Elara's heart his own, thereby taking revenge on Arannis and killing him with a powerful poison.
But is it possible to hide from those creatures whose rank has already passed the "S"? Adam wasn't sure since he didn't wear a mask in front of Amaria and Iliantra.
"When you see a beautiful girl, you freeze in shock. Is it my beauty, or is it my strength that makes you so surprised?"
·ƈθm A gentle and feminine voice filled with seduction and curiosity. Like a nightingale singing, the voice also sounded beautiful, made me long for her embrace, and didn't even leave the option of "no" in the question, "Should I answer her?"
Adam shuddered, and it was not so much because of her beautiful voice but rather because of the aura that surrounded her.
"Aura of Seduction?" Adam frowned and felt uneasy.
Possessing that very aura of seduction, Adam could feel it from a far distance, and though he had some resistance to it, he still felt the heat in his chest and the desire to submit, to give his all.
"Is this what the other girls felt because of my aura?" Adam frowned as his thoughts became as chaotic with lust as a volcanic eruption.
However, it was impossible to say that Adam was in a losing position, as he could feel his powers rising to a new level, and even without transformation, he had reached the middle stage of the High Demon, "E" rank.
Sin Lust. It was the effect of this sin, and in those moments when Adam feels lust, his total power doubles, allowing him to have an explosive and overwhelming power that can turn the tide of battle.
"Eh?"
Adam heard a quiet muttering and a surprised sigh; it was Amarantha, who turned to Adam and stared at him intently while her green eyes grew brighter and brighter, glinting in the night and thus illuminating the space around her.
Boom!
There was a loud and piercing sound of an explosion, as if a bomb had gone off somewhere. Suddenly, a purple aura emerged from Amarantha's body, and in an instant, it surrounded Adam and transformed into the silhouette of a woman who gently hugged Adam's shoulder. Silent moans and an arousing tingling all over her body made Adam shudder with pleasure.
This aura of fascination was explosive and infectious, surpassing that of Adam by a factor of ten. It was hard for him to resist this aura, which was brought to the "SS-" rank.
Adam's mind shook and squeaked along with the explosions. His thoughts were directed only toward resistance, and a feeling of anger appeared in his chest, which took over his gut in an instant, acting like some kind of virus.
The heat of lust was replaced by the heat of anger, which was many times stronger and burned Adam from the inside, causing him great pain.
Heavy breathing and a fuzzy stare. Adam felt humiliated and lifted his head violently, only to be confronted by something soft. Suddenly, his anger vanished and was replaced by surprise.
"Great, as expected, you are the one I was looking for."
The same gentle voice echoed in Adam's ear, sounding quiet and joyful. Even Amarantha's very aura changed as if she had been swapped for a stranger.
Adam pulled away from Amarantha and frowned when he saw her sweet smile. As a blooming rose, she was beautiful but also dangerous.
Adam felt no more pressure or aura of seduction. The wind gently caressed the strands of his black hair, and the noise of the leaves acted as a sedative for Adam.
He stood up straight, wiped his mouth clean of blood, and paid no attention to the pain in his body. With his dignified posture and piercing gaze, Adam left a good impression on Amarantha.
Suddenly a notification appeared, and a translucent screen appeared silently in front of Adam, but the message reflecting on the notification was very loud.
