With a wave of his hand, Tenraku released Katerea from the Saints and Demons Hall.
“Creuserey?”
“Katerea!”
Katerea was slightly surprised to see Creuserey in the air, while Creuserey’s expression turned joyful as he was about to fly over.
“Don’t move.”
Pulling Katerea into his embrace, Tenraku held her neck with one hand, wearing a devilish smile on his face.
After a moment of confusion, Katerea immediately understood her evil master’s intention.
“Creuserey, save me, save me…” In a plaintive and fragile manner, Katerea struggled and called out, as if truly being held hostage by Tenraku.
Raynare cursed the woman silently, while Tenraku sighed inwardly.
Ah, women, they truly are natural drama queens!
If Tenraku didn’t know the truth, he would have believed it, not to mention Creuserey, who was already concerned and infatuated with Katerea. Looking at Katerea’s pitiful and helpless appearance, Creuserey’s heart was breaking.
The usually proud and strong Katerea had shown a vulnerability that was unlike her. Just how much torment had she endured in the hands of that bastard Kamiya Tenraku?
“Let her go!” Creuserey unleashed a magical formation aimed at Tenraku as he spoke with a furious expression on his face.
“What a terrifying Magic Power. Even I can’t easily withstand such an attack. However…”
“If you don’t care about Katerea’s life, then go ahead and attack her along with me.”
Although both of them had borrowed power from Ophis, Creuserey was much stronger than Diodora. Tenraku could sense the astonishing Magic Power emanating from him.
But with Katerea in his grasp, Tenraku felt confident and fearless!
“Ugh…”
Tenraku increased the force in his hand, causing Katerea’s face to turn pale as she let out a painful groan.
“Release Katerea!”
With a low and unpleasant tone, Creuserey ultimately dispelled his magic power.
“I can release Katerea, but it depends on what you can do for me.”
Wearing a smug smile on his face, Tenraku relaxed the pressure in his hand, allowing Katerea some relief.
“What do you want?!”
Feeling frustrated and threatened like never before, Creuserey had to suppress his anger for the sake of rescuing Katerea.
“I do fear facing an opponent like you, but it would be excessive to make you sacrifice yourself.”
“How about one arm? If you disable one of your arms, I’ll let Katerea go.”
Tenraku stated his conditions and his actions at this moment were no different from those of the villains.
But then again, he had never been a good person!
And occasionally, it seemed quite enjoyable to play with the feeling of threatening an opponent…
“You despicable person!” Though he had done similar things in the past, Zerukurei felt quite frustrated when it happened to him.
“Make your choice quickly. You desire Katerea, don’t you? It seems like a profitable deal to trade only one arm for Katerea’s freedom, don’t you think?”
“Or perhaps your affection for Katerea is just empty words?” Tenraku’s tone turned cold as he looked at Creuserey with a mocking expression on his face.
Creuserey struggled to make a decision with a gloomy expression on his face. Losing one arm would undoubtedly weaken his strength, but if it truly meant getting Katerea back, it would be worth it.
However, he was hesitant as he couldn’t make sure that Tenraku would keep his word.
“It’s a pity, Katerea. It seems you hold such little importance in Creuserey’s heart…” Knowing exactly what the man in front of him was hesitating about, Tenraku whispered sinisterly into Katerea’s ear.
Each word struck at the heart of his enemy, making Tenraku marvel at his own potential for villainy.
Sure enough, Creuserey’s expression changed when he heard Tenraku’s words, and Katerea’s eyes filled with pain, followed by a cold and emotionless expression.
“Creuserey, do it. You don’t need to worry about me. Kill Kamiya Tenraku.”
“No, Katerea, I… I…”
Realizing that his hesitation had caused a misunderstanding with Katerea, Creuserey felt a pang of urgency in his heart.
Explaining anything now would be meaningless, and Creuserey glared at Tenraku with a lot of hostility in his eyes.
“If you dare to deceive me, I will not spare you!” A hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes as Creuserey raised his hand and his entire left arm was instantly thrown away.
He actually disabled his own arm. What a ruthless character he was!
“Creuserey, you…”
Clap, Clap, Clap…
Katerea’s face was filled with disbelief, while Tenraku and Raynare applauded with admiration.
“Excellent, excellent! I didn’t expect you to go this far for Katerea.”
“Don’t worry, I will keep my promise. From now on, Miss Katerea is free to do whatever she wants.”
Tenraku released Katerea, and she, now free, quickly flew down from the platform, seemingly not wanting to spend another moment with this Devil.
“Creuserey, why did you do such a thing for me? Why…”
“Katerea, don’t you understand my feelings now? I… I…”
Unleashing his magic to seal the wound, Creuserey slowly descended to the ground. As he looked at Katerea’s moved and pained expression, he felt that everything he had done was worth it.
Noble, beautiful, and alluring, Katerea had always been the perfect woman in Creuserey’s eyes. He had been relentlessly pursuing her, but the previous Katerea had only been focused on reclaiming the throne of Leviathan, completely disregarding his adoration and pursuit.
Unexpectedly, this time, by a twist of fate, he won Katerea’s heart. Creuserey’s heart was filled with immense excitement when he thought of this.
Forget about sacrificing an arm, even if it meant giving up his life, what did it matter as long as he could have Katerea?!
Although he was a cold-blooded and ruthless devil, it had to be said that he was also a passionate man…
Not wanting to disturb them, Tenraku and Raynare on the platform watched them with great interest. This was much more entertaining than those soap operas on television.
Moreover, the most thrilling scene was about to unfold, and both of them were filled with anticipation.
“Creuserey, you know, before reclaiming the throne of Leviathan, I don’t want…”
Understanding Creuserey’s affection for her, Katerea still hesitated as she spoke.
“Katerea, are you still going to reject me? I will help you seek revenge, I will help you reclaim the throne of Leviathan, I’m willing to do anything for you!”
Clasping his remaining right hand, Creuserey spoke with excitement on his face
“Are you truly willing to do anything for me? Are you even willing to die for me?” Trembling, Katerea murmured the question.
“Ah, I’m willing, Katerea!” Without hesitation, Creuserey sincerely replied.
“Creuserey, you… you…” Overwhelmed with emotion, Katerea took step by step towards Creuserey, and then…
“In that case, go die for me!” With a cold smile on her face, Katerea unleashed a wave of magic from her hand, striking Creuserey…
