"Are you two... serious?"
Chapter 383 Fallen Angel + Hero = Angel + ?
"As expected of the most resolute and courageous warrior in human history, he is indeed different from those spineless opportunists outside!"
Freer was astonished.
"As expected of the most skilled demon in the demon race, proficient in blasphemy and corruption, you saw through my essence and inner self in an instant!" Mino exclaimed in surprise.
"Seriously, you guys are just praising each other, aren't you?!"
Altottai was astonished.
and many more?
With a flick of the sword hilt, Artotai suddenly realized something—
Since their master has survived the mental plague of the Fourth Demon, doesn't that mean this torture... is about to have an extremely rare and glorious ending?!
With a surge of energy, Altottai became passionate.
This is it!
This is exactly what it wants to see!
Before the calendar of freebies leaning against the corner of the wall, Altote solemnly inscribed the words: "Under the guidance of the radiant holy sword Altote, the shameless hero who has repeatedly given away freebies has finally awakened his long-lost indomitable spirit. This is a small step for mankind, but a giant leap for glutinous rice!"
"Friel, even your plague is ineffective? That's unbelievable."
The rose-colored gown trailed on the ground as Kleinna slowly approached, realizing the predicament was dire.
“Indeed, Your Honor.” Turning around, Freer's expression was grave.
"I never imagined that the brave Mino was truly as resolute, indomitable, and possessing a noble spirit beyond human comprehension as you all described!!!"
Kleidina was taken aback.
Did they say that?
"But it's too early to give up."
Straightening his back, Freer's eyes burned with an indomitable spirit. He turned to look at Mino:
"Hero, you have earned my respect by enduring this long."
"But I'm sorry, this is an unreasonable interrogation. Therefore, in order to get you to reveal information, I have no choice but to use every means possible... Being able to survive those previous plagues shows that you are already the most perfect and radiant existence in the human realm—but what follows is an interrogation that no human can withstand."
"If possible, I hope you can be sensible and admit defeat."
Sensing a hint of apprehension in Freer's words, even towards his ultimate method, Mino's expression turned serious:
"Bring it on, whatever methods you have, but don't even think about making me submit!"
His eyes shone with determination, radiating an unwavering resolve that left no room for negotiation; his will shone like a candle flame in the darkness!
The demons in the cell couldn't help but admire Mino. To protect his dear friend of the kingdom, Mino had remained so steadfast: the friendship between humans was certainly enviable.
Mino, of course, remained unmoved.
After all, the system's rewards haven't been triggered yet!
"Friel, could it be that you intend to use that move..."
Beside her, Kletina seemed to have guessed something, and her expression changed.
“That’s right.” Freer nodded as if he had come to a realization.
“Your Excellency, as you know, the power of blasphemy lies not only in its ability to act upon energy, but also on the spirit… even cause and effect can be blasphemed!”
"Although this goes against my aesthetics of torture, I am really unwilling to use such brutal methods of torture. At the same time, it will also cause me great exhaustion."
Turning around, Freer gazed at Mino:
"But it's worth it to use it on this resolute and indomitable hero!"
Mino froze, realizing she might have overdone it.
A sense of unease rose in Mino's heart. She looked at the two demons who were speaking solemnly and asked somewhat hesitantly, "What are you saying... I don't understand?"
"Lord Brave."
With a single finger firmly pointed at Mino, Freer said in a deep voice:
"Next—I'm going to desecrate your 'never give up' result!"
"The... result?" Mino was startled.
"Haven't you heard, Hero?" Freer lightly dusted off his clothes and chuckled.
"An honest and kind person can become the worst of people after certain experiences, and a lazy villain can become a hardworking and great person after certain trials... Any person in the world can become very different after experiencing certain things."
How does a miser become a selfless person? How does a warmonger become a coward? How does a lecherous maniac become a great saint?
"The long life experience that leads to a great change in human nature can also be regarded as a poison of life."
"A toxin that concentrates all those elements is the most deadly method."
"The transformation of all things only requires one cause and one effect."
"Therefore, there must also be a 'poison' that can turn the most resolute and courageous warrior into the most gullible traitor!"
"I call it: the poison of corruption..."
Freer reached for the halo above his head.
The next moment, a dazzling light suddenly burst forth.
The dark, serpentine halo seemed to undergo a baptism, its filth and impurity receding like a tide from its depths, leaving only the purest, most sacred radiance surging within! It radiated a pure and dazzling light!
The light was so bright, even in broad daylight, that it blinded Mino. He instinctively raised his hands to shield himself and cried out in alarm:
"Holy crap, Nanfu Energy Concentration Ring?!"
Mino couldn't help but be amazed.
At this moment, what was emanating from this fallen demon was the purest holy light of the Holy Church!
If it weren't for the pair of wings on his back that symbolized fallen angels, he would have seemed like the embodiment of divine will, a radiant being even more holy than the saint of artifacts.
Unlike the balancing authority that transforms holy and magical power, this is more like a corruption of aura, where two negatives make a positive at this moment!
"This is the 'poison of corruption' that concentrates all the magic and blasphemous power within me."
His voice became somewhat hoarse and low.
Freer opened his eyes, and at that moment, the red and green eyes had lost their last trace of poison. Freer reached out and touched the top of his head.
The next moment, with a gentle snap, the pure halo was removed.
"Heh, what an ugly color, this is the price..."
Freer sighed and looked at Mino before him: "Now, looking at you, a brave man who has left his homeland, suffered humiliation, and been captured by our trickery, I feel a surge of pity and shame."
“I deserve to die!” Freer raised his hands towards the ceiling, speaking with great emotion.
“But I can’t die yet…” He lowered his head again.
Mino: "..."
He knew the change was definitely due to the angelic halo in Freer's hand. It was said to be the embodiment of all his magic and authority, yet it appeared brighter and more holy than the purest holy power, but one could still sense that it was magic.
At this moment, Freer seemed to have transformed from a vicious and cold-blooded demon into a compassionate saint.
Noticing Mino's gaze, Freer politely said:
"Rest assured, hero, the changes that will occur to both of us will only be temporary."
"I will fall into the form of an angel at this moment, in exchange for you becoming... a hero given away for free."
Haw!
At a speed that Mino couldn't react to at all.
Freer placed the halo around Mino's head.
Chapter 384 Mino the Immoral
'Once you're adorned with that halo, you're no longer a hero; you can no longer possess even a trace of human resilience. If you don't give it your all, that halo will tighten around your head, causing you unbearable suffering...'
In an instant, Mino felt like there was a little person chanting in her head.
But this is clearly just my own imagination.
After being pressed onto his head, the halo did not slowly tighten, but instead floated up slowly, like Freer's, bobbing up and down three inches above his head.
Tiny specks of light sprinkled down from the halo, seeping into Mino's scalp like dandruff.
It feels itchy, like my brain is growing.
"So—now it's my turn to fall?"
Pointing to herself, Mino said somewhat insecurely.
Compared to the impressive display of power Freer had previously displayed when wielding his authority, the method of installing this so-called "poison of corruption" was far too rudimentary.
Mino reached out to remove the halo, but it felt like touching a phantom, completely unreal.
At this moment, Freer approached step by step.
"The cause and effect of corruption is not so simple, hero... The poison of corruption has only built a bridge to the possibility of you giving yourself away, forming a kind of toxin in your body that is similar to 'you won't give yourself away if you don't do xx'."
"This toxin won't directly cause you to give away your life for free, but conversely: once you cross that bridge and fulfill the conditions, you will definitely begin to give away your life for free, completing the causal change. Otherwise..."
"otherwise?"
Freer pointed to himself, his eyes extremely serious, and said, "You will become like me."
"..."
Mino, who had been tense, froze, scrutinizing Freer from head to toe. She spoke with a mixture of disdain and bewilderment:
"The only side effect is that I'm... not as handsome as before? Well, I think I can still struggle a bit."
"Hehe, that's a humorous remark, Brave One." Freer smiled sincerely.
