Chapter 227: I want that girl - Zeka
"Ah! Do you really think about that?" Isabell laughed, her smile starting to turn icy.
"If you don't want to, I'm not responsible for saving that girl." Noan shrugged, his expression beginning to turn indifferent.
Although he wanted to enter the 'Challenge Space' that Isabell mentioned, after all, he owned the 'Ultimate Challenge Medal,' even if he didn't pass the challenge, he could still gain many benefits.
However, he wasn't sure what Isabell's attitude towards him was, whether she was an enemy or an ally.
Her subordinates, no matter how beautiful, were still not his subordinates.
Nothing guaranteed that her subordinates, after becoming his women, wouldn't betray him.
He maintained an indifferent attitude, waiting for Isabell's response.
Upon hearing Noan, Isabell, of course, knew what she wanted. She immediately laughed and said, "Hahahaha… Noan, you're a coward."
"Yes, I am a coward. After all, I only have one life, and if I die, everything ends." Noan sighed.
"Ara~ So, what do you want?" Isabell smiled, her expression full of allure. "I can't be your woman, but you can change the terms."
"Fine! Then I want that girl." Noan said.
"Hm?! What do you mean…"
"My meaning is very clear. After saving her, I want her to be my slave." Noan replied with a smile. "Listen carefully, she will be my slave, not my woman."
"If you agree, I'll save her. If you disagree, then let's consider this as nothing happening."
Isabell glanced at Noan; suddenly, the air turned cold, almost terrifying.
"It's the first time someone has made such a request to me." Isabell said, her voice extremely cold and full of killing intent.
"The first time? Don't worry, the first time always leads to a second time." Noan said with a laugh, his voice laced with teasing.
Isabell stared at Noan for a long while, then sighed and said, "Fine! I agree."
"Ah~ Let's consider this a bad trade on my part. You're evil, making my subordinate your slave while also taking advantage of me."
"Hahahaha... The choice is in your hands; I didn't force you." Noan replied with a laugh.
Isabell placed the key in Noan's hand, smiling as she said, "The portal is to the east, about 70 miles from here."
With that, Isabell vanished as if she had never been there, leaving only the lingering fragrance that captivated Noan.
He held the key in his hand, not in a rush to leave but lying on the bed to rest.
He wanted to be in the best possible state before setting off.
...
The areas were successfully merged.
At this moment, Caleb and Austin had just arrived in the Chaotic World, frowning as snow began to appear in the sky.
Yes, a few snowflakes started to fall.
Caleb reached out and caught one of the snowflakes. Strangely, this snowflake made him feel extremely cold, much colder than usual.
It often snowed in the city during winter, but the snowflakes there were never this cold.
It was just a small snowflake, smaller than a grain of rice, but it radiated an incredibly intense cold.
"This snow is strange," Caleb frowned and said.
Austin said, "Yes, it's much colder than usual."
Caleb looked at the sky and muttered, "It seems... a new era is about to begin."
Austin, hearing Caleb, felt somewhat confused. "What do you mean?"
Caleb shook his head. "Never mind, we need to find the master first."
Austin nodded in agreement, taking out a silk ball and then crushing it.
After a moment, nothing happened.
It should be known that this silk ball was an item that Noan had given them. Once they crushed it, Noan would teleport them to his location.
But ten minutes passed, and nothing happened, leaving Caleb and Austin confused.
"Could it be that the master is busy?" Caleb muttered, frowning.
"Ah, maybe," Austin replied.
Caleb stroked his chin, thinking momentarily before saying, "Alright, we don't need to worry. The master probably got the information, but is busy. We need to wait."
"The thing we need to do now is figure out who exactly is in our area."
Austin nodded upon hearing this. "Got it. Should we act together or split up?"
Caleb shook his head. "You should know that our area has merged with the area of D-rank Lords, which means we're facing stronger opponents."
"Because of this, we need to be really careful this time. If not, we'll fail. And the result for us will be death."
Austin was shocked. "So terrifying. But we have the monsters the master gave us. Can't we defend ourselves?"
Caleb glanced at Austin, thinking it was a miracle that Austin had made it this far.
First, when Austin faced the master, he managed to survive and then became the master's slave.
Then, Caleb and he entered a mysterious cave and were ambushed by a strange monster.
Though they managed to escape, Austin was seriously injured and was eventually saved by the master, successfully surviving.
Next… and next…
Austin had been in danger countless times, walking on the edge of death, but somehow managed to escape death each time in miraculous ways.
Caleb shook his head. "Did you forget? The monsters the master gave us are only D+ rank, while the D-rank Lords can summon monsters of C rank."
"Besides, their levels are probably much higher than ours. That's why our chances of winning are almost zero."
"Since the master hasn't shown up yet, we should be cautious, just scout out the situation, and avoid unnecessary conflicts."
"Ah! I understand." Austin replied indifferently.
Seeing Austin's expression, Caleb was so angry he wanted to punch Austin in the face and shout, "What the hell! Do you understand what I'm saying?"
Caleb took a deep breath, calming himself down before saying, "You command the surviving Lords to check the surroundings. If they discover any other areas, report back to us immediately."
"Okay!" Austin replied, immediately leaving with Urlgan and Urlgug.
Caleb watched their figures disappear and sighed, shaking his head. He looked at the sky, muttering, "I hope everything will be fine."
…
"Captain Maisy, snow... there's snow." In a clean and spacious room, a young man rushed in, shouting hurriedly.
He had black hair and a somewhat handsome face, and beside him, a pixie hovered, emitting a faint glow.
At that moment, Maisy was wearing a long dress, lazily sitting on a sofa, her long brown hair flowing freely over her shoulders and chest, looking incredibly seductive.
"Ah! Snow?" Maisy was surprised by what the young man had said.
"Yes." The young man lowered his head, replying, "The snow is starting to fall, but something seems off. Perhaps... it would be better if you saw it for yourself."
Hearing this, Maisy slowly stood up, put on a coat, and walked outside with the young man.
The young man walked behind her, licking his lips as he eyed Maisy's hourglass figure, his face showing a greedy expression.
"Ah! You'll soon be mine." The young man laughed in a greedy and wicked manner. "Once I have enough 'buffs,' I'll crush all of you."
Maisy was unaware of the young man's thoughts behind her.
Looking at the snowflakes filling the sky, she frowned and extended her hand.
A snowflake fell into her palm, and the first sensation she felt was… cold.
Very cold.
Theoretically, a small snowflake would quickly melt in the warmth of a human's body.
But this snowflake remained in her hand for quite a while, showing no sign of melting.
On the contrary, more and more snowflakes fell, accumulating with the first one, creating a small mound of snow in her hand.
Maisy waved her hand, causing the snow to fall to the ground. But her face showed a look of disbelief, followed by concern.
However, she quickly regained her composure and ordered, "Zeka, gather everyone. We're starting a meeting."
"Yes, Captain." Zeka bowed and replied.
Then, he slightly raised his head, watching Maisy's beautiful figure, and the greed in his heart grew even stronger.
He didn't hurry to follow Maisy's orders but instead opened his personal information panel, his eyes entirely focused on the 'buffs' he had.
[Regenerates 0.1% of life energy per minute x7 (Permanent Buff); Regenerates 0.1% of magic energy per minute x7 (Permanent Buff); Increases physical strength by 10% x7 (Permanent Buff).]
Looking at the information panel, he smiled confidently. "SS+ talent... Hahaha... Others' buffs last only for an hour, but every buff I receive lasts forever."
"They even stack with each other. Hahahaha... As long as I have enough time and buffs, I'll become invincible."
"Hahahaha..."
