Lathel suddenly realised he was standing in his own energy space.
At this time, the sky was no longer black; instead, it had many purple clouds. Lightning was also continuously flashing, making the entire sky as bright as day.
‘Why am I here?’ Lathel frowned, thinking to himself.
He remembered what had happened—how he had broken Alec’s limbs and severely disfigured the bastard’s face.
Lathel also exhausted Harris’s life energy; moreover… Harris was not far from death.
‘But then… Lilith appeared, stopped me, and saved those two bastards.’
Suddenly, Lathel’s eyes became cold and filled with murderous intent: ‘It seems… Lilith only approached me to find a chance to save Alec and Harris.’
‘The main character is still the main character; even though he is ‘isolated’, he can still miraculously survive.’
‘Lilith… why?’
“Ah! Are you awake?” A familiar voice rang out: “No, to be more precise, is your consciousness awake?”
Right at this moment, Viva appeared in front of him; he still could only see a white figure, as her face could not be seen clearly.
“You’re lucky; you’re still alive after receiving part of my power; this is a miracle.”
“If that girl named Lilith hadn’t helped you reach level 30, I’m afraid that after receiving my power, you would have exploded into a pile of meat.”
Hearing that, Lathel frowned: “But… I still don’t know clearly whether she is my ally or not…”
“Hmm?!” Viva tilted her head and looked at him: “Why do you think like that? Because she saved those two kids?”
Lathel bowed his head, thought for a moment, then nodded slightly.
“Hahahaha… I think you’re very strange. You are willing to be kind and trust others, but when it comes to beautiful girls like Lilith, you are always suspicious of them.”
“You even tried to stay away from them. It’s strange; a man like you should like beautiful girls like them, right?”
Lathel shook her head: “Don’t you realise they are very dangerous? Besides… it seems they only aim for the main character, ack, I mean… they only aim at Alec and Harris.”
“Hm…” Viva mused: “It seems you misunderstood Lilith. Those two brats… you can’t kill them.”
“Hm?! Why?” Lathel frowned and asked.
Viva sighed and said: “I also wanted to kill those two boys to put you at ease; however, I realised that those two boys had some kind of strange energy protecting them.”
“That is the will of the world. If those two kids die, a lot of things will collapse, and this world will be in chaos.”
“Even though you don’t like those two brats, you can’t kill them.”
“I’m sorry, however… Lilith stopped you for your own good. If you truly crossed the boundaries of fate and the will of the world to kill them, then…”
“Their fate will fall on your head. You would bear all the sins, pain, and things that they were supposed to endure.”
“Someone like you who is not protected by the world’s will, I’m afraid that after going through just a few events, you will die. You will die painfully and in despair.”
Hearing that, Lathel shuddered and took a deep breath: “Are you telling the truth?”
Viva shrugged: “I have no reason to lie to you.”
“That’s why I feel like Lilith really likes you; she did everything to help you.”
“Even the things she found to make you stronger, to help you level up, are very rare.”
“Even if this empire used all its soldiers and adventurers, it might not be able to find what Lilith found.”
Lathel now realised how precious the three things Lilith had brought back through Viva’s words.
Pok!
Viva stretched out her index finger, gently touched Lathel’s forehead, smiled, and said: “You should cherish her instead of doubting her. I can feel that she really likes you.”
Lathel shook her head: “Even if she really likes me and I also like her, she and I will never become a couple.”
“Hmm?!” Viva tilted her head: “You’re so strange; is there anything stopping you and her from loving each other?” Or… you still doubt her.”
Lathel sighed: “You don’t need to know; you just need to know that… she and I are like two parallel lines that will never intersect.”
“So… what if you really become a couple?”
“What do you mean…” Lathel frowned, watching Viva spin around, a beam of light around her waist billowing like a dress.
Even though Viva’s body was completely white, he could imagine a girl wearing a dress dancing.
“What I mean is… let’s make a bet.”
“Bet?” Lathel asked confusedly: “Betting about this? Hahaha… you will definitely lose.”
“Lathel, do you know that I like to bet?”
“Hmm?!” Lathel frowned and asked, “Do you really want to play a game you can’t win?”
“Hahaha… the cards haven’t been dealt yet, and we still don’t know who the winner is.” Viva smiled and said: “Even if you avoid her, that doesn’t mean you can’t still love each other in the future.”
“This game doesn’t end unless you or Lilith die, and you still don’t love each other.”
“Oy!” Lathel felt a bit puzzled: “Do you really want this? You will wait a long time, perhaps 10 years, 50 years, 100 years, or even 1,000 years.”
“Heh?! But I feel like it’s coming very quickly.” Viva replied with a smile.
Lathel sighed and said: “Good! I will definitely win this game. Tell me what you’re betting on.”
“If I lose, I will be your woman.”
Lathel: “…”
“I…” He was about to say something when a blinding light radiated from Viva’s body.
That light was like a flash of lightning, only existing for a small moment and then disappearing.
But in that small moment, Lathel’s face turned to stone, his eyes opened wide, and his mouth agape as if she had just seen something extremely surprising.
“Well? Is that enough?” Viva smiled and said teasingly.
Lathel was startled when he heard that and quickly nodded: “That’s enough, very enough. I don’t think…”
“Okay, let’s not talk about those things. What do you bet?” Viva asked.
Lathel frowned and rubbed her chin: “I don’t know; I have nothing valuable to give you. After all, you are an existence from ancient times; things like strength, knowledge, or treasure don’t interest you, right?”
Viva nodded: “Yes, but there is one thing that makes me extremely interested.”
“Hm?! What’s that?”
As soon as Lathel finished speaking, Viva pointed at him: “You!”
“Me?!” Lathel was startled, frowned, and said: “What do you mean…”
“That’s right. If you lose, you will be my man.”
Lathel: “…”
“So it’s no different from your bet.” He frowned and said.
“No, if I lose, I will be your woman.” Viva explained: “If I were your woman, I would listen to you without any resistance.”
“On the contrary, if you lose, you become my man. You must listen to my words and not resist.”
Lathel: ( ; ￣ Д ￣ )
He rubbed his chin, thought of something, and shook his head: “No! I still want a harem. If I just listen to you, I’m afraid you will control me and not let me own a harem.”
“Heh?! You were so confident just now; why are you so scared now?” Viva pretended to be startled and asked: “Are you scared?”
“Huh! Why will I be afraid? Lathel gritted his teeth. In his mind, he felt he could actually accept this bet because he had a winning chance of up to 99.9%.
The remaining 0.1% is Lilith escaping the role of female lead. However, it is impossible for Lilith to escape the role of female lead.
But… Viva is really beautiful—so beautiful that it makes him want to take a risk. After all, his odds of winning this bet were up to 99.9%, so there was no reason for him to feel worried or scared.
“Good! I agree.” Lathel said firmly: “I hope you will keep your promise.”
“Of course. I am hiding inside your body, and breaking my promise is extremely difficult.” Viva smiled and replied: “However, you talk as if you will definitely win.”
“Of course.” Lathel said confidently: “My victory rate is almost 100%. There is only an extremely small chance that something else will happen; however, for that chance to happen, it is easier to believe that a pig can climb a tree.”
“It seems… a pig can climb trees.”
Hearing Viva say that, Lathel smiled and shook her head. He felt that Viva dared to bet because she did not know Lilith’s role in this world. She also doesn’t know the existence of the main character and heroine.
Perhaps Viva may know of the existence of a person protected by the world’s will, but the way the main character is called is only known to people living on Earth like him.
“Wait! How can I wake up?” Lathel frowned and asked.
Viva shrugged: “Like I said, only your consciousness is awake. To protect you, I have to imprison your consciousness inside this space until your body completely recovers.”
“Don’t worry… The energy from the three things that Lilith gave you is still there; I will use them to help you recover.”
“However, that process will likely take up to three days. During this time, you can only live in this space.”
“Heh?!” Lathel frowned, looking annoyed: “Three days in this place? But… can my body still recover?”
“Of course.” Viva smiled and said: “With my ability, combined with that stored energy source, along with the recovery ability of a vampire like you, I can easily help you recover.”
“However… there is something I need to tell you, I hope you can calm down.”
“Hm?! What do you mean?” Although Viva’s voice was like that of hundreds of people speaking at the same time, not showing any emotion, it made Lathel feel nervous.
Viva sighed and said: “There is also a big reason why you can still live after accepting my power: your blood contract with that vampire girl.”
“What do you mean…Charlotte?”
“That’s right, she shared her life energy with you to keep you from getting seriously injured.”
Lathel: ??!!
