Forced to Sell Myself to the Female Lead After Killing the Male Lead

Chapter 24:

Within a village on the border of the Red Leaf Empire,

”Roooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooar !!”

With the monstrous roar of beasts as a backdrop,

The earth-shattering purple energy force erupted with a bang, and the ground was instantly torn apart.

A horrifying energy storm, imbued with a corrosive aura, swept across the surroundings.

Countless village homes were instantly corroded by the purple aura, reduced to heaps of mud!

The villagers and animals that failed to escape the combat zone in time were enveloped by the assault of the purple aura, and within moments, became mere pools of blood.

The crimson blood marred the earth, while the air was thick with the sickening smell of blood.

Screams, howls, and monstrous roars filled the place.

Witnessing their family members dying before their eyes, the surviving villagers cast terrified and resentful glances toward the village center.

A monstrous black creature, standing about five meters tall and resembling a unicorn beetle, ceaselessly emitted a heavy aura.

This creature was undoubtedly the cause of the paralyzing fear among the villagers.

Abyssal Demon.

Although the vast majority of Abyssal Demons were gathered within Winter Forest, numerous still lurked on the Ancita Continent.

These Abyssal Demons acted either on their instinct to hunt for sustenance or out of their desire to kill, often launching attacks on human settlements.

Facing the powerful Abyssal Demons, ordinary humans stood no chance.

Once an Abyssal Demon invades, they are faced with nothing but relentless despair.

Just like the tragedy that befell the village of Karl today.

However, compared to other villages attacked by Abyssal Demons, Karl Village was undoubtedly fortunate.

For today, the reinforcements from Asumos Church arrived just in time...

--

”Quick! Restrain it!!”

At the heart of the battlefield, a brown-haired young man named Kasis donned in the church knight’s armor, let out a thunderous roar with all his might.

In the next moment,

In response to his command,

He, along with the eight Asumos Church knights, all of them visibly wounded, simultaneously unleashed their holy magic in full force. The pure white light converged in their hands, further condensing into white energy chains.

Under the traction of holy magic, the large energy chains suddenly burst out and locked the Abyssal Demon’s six limbs, head, and body.

Kasis, alongside the seven other Asumos Church knights, roughly at fourth or fifth level, initiated a life-or-death battle with this peak level 5 Abyssal Demon!

”Hang on!!” Kasis shouted hoarsely.

As long as they could hold the Abyssal Demon in place, the magical cannon could eliminate it.

However,

Kasis and his companions had overestimated their abilities,

Or rather,

They had underestimated the horror of the Abyssal Demon.

With the full release of the eight people’s power, the dense holy magic actually stimulated the ferocity within the Abyssal Demon, causing the Shadow energy within its body to further erupt! This purple wave of Shadow power washed over them like a torrent, inflicting agonizing pain on everyone!

At the same time, the muscles on the Demon’s six limbs began to swell rapidly! while Its power spiked abruptly!

and in the next moment,

Under the horrified gaze of the Knights, three energy chains were shattered by the Demon’s brute force.

With a degree of its restraints lifted, the Demon shifted its attention to Kasis, who possessed the most potent holy magic.

Confronted by the gaze from its four fierce black pupils, Kasis couldn’t help but shudder, his legs quaking uncontrollably.

’It’s over...’

”Roarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”

As expected, after gradually freeing itself from its restraints, the Shadow power within the Abyssal Demon erupted once more. It transformed into a purple fury, charging towards Kasis with a fearsome roar!

Facing the absolute pressure, akin to the weight of Mount Tai bearing down on him, Kasis’s spirit trembled.

Strong instincts to survive urged him to flee, but the overpowering fear froze his body, leaving him only to watch the Demon’s claws grow larger in his vision! Despair ran rampant in his heart.

”Help...help...someone help meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!”

Just as the Demon was about to kill Kasis,

A dazzling silver-white light suddenly pierced the despair-filled view of the man.

And in the next moment,

Under the shocked gazes of all, the silver light unveiled a girl who slowly drew the sword from her waist...

*Shuuuu!*

Accompanied by a flash of dazzling silver light,

The Abyssal Demon halted its charge, and the protective black energy encasing its body shattered with a loud noise.

The Abyssal Demon’s fierce head fell to the ground.

This Abyssal Demon, that had left the Church’s knights helpless,

Was easily slain by a young girl...

--

Sometime later,

Kasis, who was filled with joy of surviving the disaster, sat silently on the ground. Next to him was the medical team sent by the Church, working hard to heal the wounds of these young knights.

”I...I... survived?”

After calming down a bit, Kasis looked down at his own hands in disbelief.

He had partaken in an Abyssal Demon suppression battle for the first time and had deeply experienced the terror of Abyssal Demon.

Despite their numerical advantage, they still failed to defeat the peak level 5 Abyssal Demon.

He had almost met his end under the claws of the Abyssal Demon.

Initially, Kasis had confidence in his abilities, but now he was deeply uncertain.

At the same time, like many of his surviving teammates, he couldn’t help but marvel at the silver-haired girl standing in front of the Demon’s corpse, seemingly deep in thought...

And the moment he caught sight of the girl’s face, Kasis found himself holding his breath. A blush slowly appeared on his dust-covered, blood-stained face.

Being part of a prestigious family, he had savored an enchanting life, traveling through various scenic landscapes since he was a child.

He had encountered all kinds of beautiful women, but compared to the silver-haired girl at a distance, those girls seemed insignificant.

The girl, dressed in silver knight’s armor, possessed a graceful figure and shiny silver-white hair that anyone would envy.

Her violet gem-like eyes radiated a captivating gentle light and an unparalleled holy aura.

Her soft, full red lips, a cute and delicate small nose, coupled with her stunning and elegant facial features made her an unparalleled beauty, as if she were the most exquisite creation of the Creator.

No matter how beautiful the scenery or how brilliant the jewelry was, they all paled in comparison to the girl in the distance.

When the silver-haired girl’s gentle and beautiful gaze swept over them, all the knights couldn’t help but feel a comfort surging in their hearts, as if their souls had been purified.

”Oh, goddess~” Kasis and the others couldn’t help but exclaim in their minds.

In addition to her flawless beauty, the girl’s strength also astounded everyone.

She had actually slain a peak level 5 Abyssal Demon with a single strike, despite only being at the early stage of level 5 herself! It was simply unheard of...

With her striking appearance and formidable strength, she was indeed one of the ”Chosen Ones” who would lead them to save the world.

At first, Kasis had some disdain for the girl’s upbringing in an orphanage, but after today, there would be no trace of that previous contempt in his eyes, only pure admiration.

All the knights, including the soldiers and medical teams who arrived later to assist, looked at the silver-haired girl with admiring eyes, just like Kasis.

However, they did not notice that within the seemingly gentle gaze of the silver-haired girl, there was already a glimmer of coldness and a strong sense of disappointment...
