Chapter 837 - 428: The Demon’s Kiss

So how should one describe the Holy Light Power’s special effect on a Demon?

It’s basically like: a towel dipped in water, a mop dipped in shit—its killing power against Kreti just keeps shooting up.

"Well? Do you want to convert to Holy Light attribute like her too?"

Herbert looked at the clearly more serious-faced Kreti and suggested, "While I can still help you right now, you should grab the chance. Once we leave this place, it’ll be a pain to deal with, you know."

After hearing that proposal, Kreti obviously sank into thought.

This was a rare chance, the kind that comes once in a blue moon.

But just when Herbert thought Kreti would mull it over for ages like Flora, she suddenly lifted her head and hummed lightly:

"Nope."

Oh?

"Why?" Herbert asked curiously.

"You’re asking me why?"

Kreti showed a proud smile and said firmly, "Hehe, because I am a noble Demon, of course!"

As for that rare opportunity, she curled her lip in disdain and snorted, "A Demon wielding Holy Light Power—would that still be a Demon?"

Flora had her own persistence and goals, and Kreti had her own pride too.

Even if she seemed to be constantly doing "good deeds" that didn’t match a Demon at all, that didn’t stop her from firmly believing she was an outstanding Demon!

"A Demon should look like a Demon!"

"I’m not bowing my head to the Holy Light Influence!"

"Never!"

Under Herbert’s "what a stunning girl" gaze, the Demon who had stood up in agitation turned her head back; she suddenly pressed her lips together a little shyly.

"Well, even though I did just say all that."

"But... I have to admit, this journey really has made me pretty happy."

Kreti thought of everything they’d been through along the way, thought of those idiots who’d one-sidedly treated her as a good person.

"Even though I don’t agree with their view of me—their mouths full of ’kindness’ and ’mercy’ and ’tolerance’... I think they’re all talking crap."

"But their attitude, hmm, I really don’t find it that annoying either."

Miss Devil’s expression turned subtle; she took a deep breath before continuing, "I’ve decided, I’ll just let them say whatever they like! As for me, I’ll be a bit magnanimous and not hold it against them!"

"As for you... ahem, thanks for being willing to take me along."

"If you hadn’t dragged me out so forcefully, I wouldn’t have known any of this..."

Kreti’s expression turned uncharacteristically bashful, then she slowly leaned down in front of Herbert, moving closer to his face.

Whether she was telling Herbert or convincing herself, she murmured under her breath, "Gratitude, yes, I need to express my thanks to you."

She stared at Herbert, glaring fiercely, and said, "So from here on out, don’t say anything, don’t ask anything!"

"Right! This is just a thank-you gift from me to you!"

The Demon spouted a lie that couldn’t fool even herself, and resolutely closed the last bit of distance.

It wasn’t some steamy, lewd deep kiss—just a touch and then gone, like a dragonfly skimming the water’s surface.

Whoosh—

Then, Kreti snapped upright, hands on her hips like she’d just accomplished something monumental, and laughed proudly at the sight of Herbert blinking nonstop.

"Hahaha!"

Then, as if trying to hide the blush on her face, she put on an exaggerated tone and huffed, "Hmph hmph! Foolish mortal! You’d better watch out—that was a Demon’s kiss!"

"You poor thing, after being entangled by the greedy Demon, you’ve now been targeted by the wise Demon as well."

She playfully extended a finger, lightly hooking the boy’s chin, her eyes turning sultry as she smiled.

"Hehe, oh Paladin favored by the Abyss, I’ll be watching you closely from now on."

"Also, don’t get the wrong idea!"

"I’m not like the other women around you! I just, just... right!"

"I only really want to know what your ending will be, it’s totally not because I have any special feelings for you!"

Miss Devil’s face was bright red as she bit down with the hardest mouth on her whole body and shouted, "I’m just very curious—how far can you go, in the end?!"

And at the very moment the Demon used a textbook tsundere speech to declare she was joining the fray, deep within the Paladin’s soul, the Divine also smiled.

["Wrong, wrong~"]

["The Abyss didn’t just start watching him now, you know~"]

Nenasha snorted, not taking Kreti’s words seriously at all, and laughed smugly.

["I was the first one!"]

["As for you little ones, every last one of you showed up later~"]

["All of you, I mean al~l~ of~ you~"]

["Not a single one can compare!"]
