Chapter 46: Don’t Underestimate Me, You Idiot


    "K... Ke, Miss Ke!?"


    Erica stood frozen in ce,pletely taken aback that the neer was none other than Gwen''s sister.


    Seeing this purple-haired beauty, Henie was equally confused.


    "Erica, who is this...?"


    "This is... the sister of Gwen, the Knight Commander of the Royal Knights."


    Seeing Henie still looking bewildered, seemingly trying to piece together the rtionships, Erica waved her hand dismissively.


    "Never mind, it''s tooplicated to exin right now."


    Hearing the two of them discussing her, Ke narrowed her eyes and chuckled softly:


    "Well then, Erica, can you tell big sister what you''re doing here?"


    "Also, it''s not good for children to y with fire."


    She was, of course, referring to Erica''s magic from earlier.


    Devin Reiser let out a sudden sigh of relief. Just moments ago, he thought he was about to meet his end.


    Fortunately, this woman who appeared out of nowhere had saved him just in time.


    With the immediate threat to his life gone, Devin reverted to his initial arrogant demeanor.


    "Hey! You there! I don''t care who you are! Save me quickly! I can give you anything you want."


    Before he could finish speaking, several sharp des instantly pierced the ground around Devin Reiser, missing his head by mere inches.


    "I didn''t give you permission to speak, so keep your mouth shut."


    She warned him without even ncing his way.


    Terrified, Devin promptly closed his mouth, not daring to utter another word.


    The world fell silent, and Ke turned her gaze to Henie, a dangerous glint shing in her eyes.


    "So, youngdy, don''t you think you owe us an exnation?"


    Henie felt a bit scared, sensing the intense hostility from the other party. She instinctively took half a step back.


    Seeing this, Erica quickly stepped between them to exin.


    "It was Devin Reiser who first humiliated Henie, and he did many terrible things!"


    "Such a menace absolutely cannot be allowed to remain at the academy..."


    However, she had barely gotten halfway through when Ke cut her off.


    "Enough, Erica, you don''t need to say more."


    "Actually, I don''t care about the life or death of that fat pig."


    Hearing these words, Devin Reiser''s nerves tensed up again.


    From the sound of it, he might still be facing death?


    But at the moment, no one seemed to care about him.


    Ke looked at Erica, the usual smile gone from her face.


    "He should be dealt with by others, not you, Erica."


    "Your father''s position is not stable, especially afterst time."


    "If you make a mistake this time, Viktor won''t be there to help you again."


    Hearing Ke''s words, Erica felt a bit panicked.


    She didn''t want to cause trouble for her father, nor did she want to rely on Viktor for everything.


    So, she hurriedly tried to exin:


    "We could easily frame his death on a demon..."


    The moment she mentioned demons, Ke''s expression changed.


    It became incredibly cold and sharp.


    "It seems you do know something after all."


    Erica''s body froze, every hair on her body standing on end.


    She sensed danger.


    Even during the volcano incident, when death seemed imminent, she hadn''t felt this way.


    It was the pressure emanating from Ker.


    She was terrifying.


    As if she had shed her usual disguise, the real Ke was like a fearsome hunter.


    ''Does Ke want to kill me?''


    ''No... that''s not it!''


    This tangible killing intent wasn''t directed at her.


    As if passing her by, the murderous aura was locked onto the person behind her.


    Erica whirled around, her gaze fixed intently on Henie behind her.


    "Henie!"


    Almost simultaneously, Henie seemed to lose all reason.


    The tentacles around her began to writhe wildly, as if reacting to this incredible killing intent.


    "So it is a demon vessel after all."


    Ke''s expression gradually turned manic.


    As early as yesterday, she had caught a scent on Erica.


    It was a filthy odor that only demons emitted.


    Very special, and hard to discern.


    But as an experienced demon hunter, Ke had killed countless demons and their hosts.


    She was bathed in demon blood, and under this tangible killing intent, demon vessels would react and lose their reason.


    Now, Henie''s state has confirmed everything.


    At this point, Erica also realized why Ke had appeared here.


    "So, when you asked me yesterday where I''d been..."


    "It was because of this demon, wasn''t it?"


    She opened her mouth, wanting to get an answer from Ke.


    However, Ke no longer had the energy to answer her. Her killing intent surged forth like a tidal wave, utterly frenzied.


    Her purple hair even began to emit a faint glow.


    Ke licked her lips, an excited expression one might have when facing prey.


    But she didn''t forget to warn Erica.


    "Erica, stay away from her."


    She didn''t need to say more; anyone could see that Henie''s current state was abnormal.


    The ink shadows on the ground seemed to respond to amand, quickly gathering to envelop Henie.


    Soon, apletely ck ink shadow had wrapped around her, though Henie''s face was still vaguely visible.


    Suddenly, the several silver daggers on the ground linked together, forming ripples that controlled her in the very center.


    An intricate silver magic array instantly appeared before them.


    Long ago, Ke had been chasing this demon, pursuing it from all over the world to the capital.


    And now, she has finally caught it. She absolutely wouldn''t let it escape again.


    Henie cried out in pain, and ripples appeared in the surrounding magic array as magic began to spontaneously generate around her.


    The instinct for survival made her automatically start to resist.


    Erica hadn''t expected things to unfold so suddenly. She anxiously watched the standoff between the two, stomping her foot.


    "Professor Viktor! Come help quickly!"


    The next second, Ke and Henie shed.


    Countless tentacles, like whips carrying sharp thorns, sliced through the air with lethal intent!


    Tearing throughyers of air, they stabbed towards Ke.


    Ke''s rapidly moving silver dual des fended off the onught, but two fists were no match for countless tentacles.


    Two tentacles pierced through the gaps in her defense!


    "Ugh."


    Ke felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen. Looking down, she saw that those two tentacles had torn open a bloody gash in her body.


    The two tentacles were still trying to invade her body, attempting topletely disembowel her.


    Ke seized Henie''s moment of sluggishness, retreating backward and flipping her dual des to sever the two tentacles.


    The injured tentacles turned into two puddles of liquid on the ground.


    Ke hastily took out a vial of red potion and took a sip, briefly replenishing her strength, then quickly wrapped a bandage around her wound.


    "Ke!"


    Erica called out in concern, but in the current situation, she was powerless to intervene.


    Ke charged upward once again, and the dark tentacles on Henie''s body came at her once more.


    She stepped on one tentacle and flipped into the air, the tentacle predictably folding back to pursue her.


    A cold light shed in Ke''s eyes, and in an instant, her form flickered madly like a meteor.


    In a sh of white light, she appeared behind Henie.


    The silver dagger seemed to possess a special power, easily slicing through the ck membrane covering Henie''s body.


    Two wounds were left, with thin streams of blood flowing from Henie''s back.


    Henie cried out in pain, the sensation seeming to restore her consciousness.


    The next second, she felt her vision go dark as shepletely passed out.


    "Henie!"


    Erica cried out in rm, Henie''s fainting making her feel incredibly uneasy.


    However, Ke had already done a backflip, moving away from Henie andnding steadily on the ground.


    "Such poorbat skills, trying to use the same trick twice."


    Ke twirled the dagger in her hand. She had deliberately left an opening to make herself appear injured, in order to catch the moment of attack.


    She had indeed fallen for it.


    Ke tore off the bloody bandage on her body, revealing her waist.


    The powerful recovery ability of demon hunters had alreadypletely healed her wound.


    Not even a scar remained.


    Suddenly, the surrounding tentacles began to move unconsciously, as if goingpletely berserk.


    Ke held her dagger in front of her, her expression extremely serious.


    "Something''s not right."


    Any demon vessel, after being attacked by her special daggers, would forcibly separate from its host''s body.


    Ke''s seemingly harmful attack on Henie was actually meant to help her break free from the demon''s control.


    But now, not only had the demon''s true form not left its host, but instead...


    "The power has be even more violent?"


    She couldn''t understand. The next second, an even thickeryer of ink attached itself to Henie''s body.


    A resonant sound, as if from the abyss, emanated from Henie''s body.


    "Guh... You''re really impressive, demon hunter."


    Hearing this title, Erica was suddenly stunned.


    Miss Ke is a demon hunter!?


    Demon hunters, also known as demon yers, were the absolute nemesis of demons.


    No wonder Ke had asked her those questions.


    As early as when she first met her, she might have already smelled Henie''s demonic scent on her.


    Seeing that the other party had identified her identity, Ke wasn''t surprised. Only an uncontroble ferocity shed in her purple pupils.


    The bloodline of demon hunters made it difficult for her to control her emotions when facing such filthy creatures.


    That was the instinct to hunt demons.


    If she could maintain rity before, now, when the demon''s true form appeared, she began to lose her reason.


    Henie''s body stood up mechanically like a marite, and the ink shadow behind her began to expand continuously.


    In an instant, the gushing inkpletely engulfed Henie.


    Erica watched everything unfolding before her, frozen in disbelief.


    A dark and massive body began to gradually rise from within the ink.


    Henie''s small shadow obviously couldn''t easily reveal the demon''s true form.


    So, it extended a circr mouth, devouring the boundaries of the shadow.


    In an instant, the shadow expanded to an exaggerated size.


    What emerged was a head with two horns, eyeless and noseless, only a giant head with a hundred-meter-long tongue.


    It spewed a jet of ink towards the sky,pletely covering the already gloomy sky with endless darkness.


    The body seemed to squeeze out of the ck clouds, as blob after blob of liquid-like flesh began to rise from the ck shadow, forming into a small mountain.


    The frantically expanding body forced Erica and Ke to retreat dozens of meters.


    The two of them stared at the enormous monster before them.


    Ke became even more excited, her body trembling like a wild beast.


    Erica looked at the sky-blocking giant hand and the frenzied Ke, her mind momentarily nk.


    This was clearly not something they could defeat.


    The demon''s bloated body suddenly tore open a vertical slit in front, abruptly opening.


    Thousands of sharp teeth, and a foul-smelling mucus mixed with the corpses of various creatures.


    Those were all the demon''s trophies.


    Ke could no longer contain herself. Demon hunters do not fear any demon.


    This also leads to demon hunters having only two possible oues in life.


    One is to never see a demon in their lifetime, the other is to be killed by a powerful demon while hunting.


    Fearlessly, she transformed into an arrow of white light, instantly bursting forth.


    However.


    She had underestimated the demon.


    The moment she stepped onto the demon''s body, a powerful dark giant hand grabbed Ke by the throat.


    Seeing her pained expression, the demonughed.


    Itsughter was piercingly shrill, like the terror of plunging into an abyss, piercing Ke''s eardrums.


    "You had fun hitting me earlier, little one."


    "Now, it''s my turn to hit back."
