Cheat Awakening

Chapter 499. Women: The Enigma in Myne Life

"I think we're in deep trouble," Drakthor said suddenly, his eyes glued to the red statue. He wiped a nonexistent sweat from his forehead.

"What do you mean? You can't even deal with those random guards? Yes, they look dangerous but actually, their strength is just like that," Myne, who was watching all the women suffering inhumanely, spoke while gritting his teeth. As a self-proclaimed guardian of beautiful ladies, his blood was now boiling with anger.

"I'm not talking about those guards. Do you see that statue? That's not a statue, but a demonic artifact. When it's fed enough suffering, pain, torment, and most importantly, tortured souls, it slowly changes colour from its original black to faint brownish, and finally bloody red.

When it turns red, the person bonded to it can summon that guy from hell anytime to make a wish, which that guy will fulfil in 99% of cases. But if the thing in the summoner's hand is too valuable, far more than its entire wealth, then it might betray the contract and steal it, losing everything in the process."

"Anyway, the point is that this guy is powerful, super powerful. He has the capability to erase this entire city from existence with just a single attack. If he's summoned here, then our game is over, at least you are definitely going to run out of luck. Oh, and he's also very good at space magic, so forget about running away with your teleportation portal. It's meaningless.

Otherwise, how do you think this statue came into your world? This guy throws a random statue through hell portals every day, protects it from destruction during transportation, and waits for a random idiot like that one to activate it."

Drakthor fell into deep thought after finishing, considering whether he should run away while he still had time or try to contact the status guy after he was summoned. They were both demons, so he wouldn't make things difficult for him... probably.

"So this guy is a genie from the stories of your hell?" Myne, who was also feeling a little bit nervous, asked jokingly to lighten the tense mood.

"Seven bloody hell, no! How can he compare to those lowly scams? Those bastards are just the lowest creatures of hell, good at illusion and hypnosis. They don't have the power to grant anyone a wish, otherwise, how could they be sealed inside a lamp for countless years? They're simply the biggest joke of hell.

Can you believe an entire race got sealed into lamps just because those bastards didn't have good eyes and couldn't see who they were messing with?"

"Now, after millions of years, although most of them have successfully managed to get out of the lamps by fooling their hosts, there are still a lot of idiots ruining our name. I hate those scams. Don't mention those f*cker's names again," Drakthor yelled at Myne, his eyes red from anger. It seemed he genuinely hated genies.@@@@

"All right, I understand, dude, but why are you reacting so much? It's not like genies are your children, and their every action has a direct effect on your reputation. Anyway, so what would happen if we stopped that guy Edward from summoning this state demon, or killed him before he could do anything?

He really wanted to open a portal directly to her home and talk face-to-face so she couldn't ignore him, but then he thought things might get out of hand if he suddenly disappeared, so he held back.

However, there was still no response from her side, and Myne could only hear her faint breathing sound, which she intentionally made him hear. After all, they were talking with their minds; there was no way he could hear the sound of breathing unless the other party wanted him to hear.

"All right, since you didn't want to talk to me, then it's okay, but listen carefully. Maybe after hearing my side of the situation, you'll change your mind... So I am currently in Ember Fall City. I came here because Sylphy's mother, The Queen asked me to check the situation of this city, which is too mysterious, and hundreds of people die every day."

"So I came here to investigate but later found that the city owner was actually an idiot who was possessed by a demon. Thankfully, it was an idiot demon who posed no threat. However, the owner's daughter is possessed by a high-level demon and is currently trying to break free from the seal, and to calm that demon, the owner was feeding it, humes.

However, what's most shocking is that the owner's son is sacrificing people under the castle to summon an extremely powerful demon. His name ahm... Wait a minute..."

"Hey, Drakthor, what is the name of that statue guy?"

Myne, who was reporting everything to Fenrir in a short edited version, suddenly paused and yelled at Drakthor, who was trying to see inside a shaking coffin. But hearing Myne's voice, he quickly closed it again and got up from the ground.

"His name is Zarathunathis, the Eternal Void Harbinger."

"All right, thanks!" Myne gave Drakthor a thumbs up and continued his one-sided conversation with Fenrir.

"So his name is something like Zarathunathis, the Eternal Void Harbinger, and according to reliable information, it is confirmed that he will soon come into our world and is powerful enough to destroy an entire city with a single attack. So I was thinking if you..."

"Huh? Did she cut off the telepathy link without hearing the most important part...?"

"Is it possible that she took my words from last time too seriously and decided to make distance between us? Otherwise, with her overprotective nature, it is nigh impossible for her to ignore me when... This...

why suddenly it felt hurt even though it was me who desperately wanted her to stay away from me, but now since my wish finally came true, I feel like crying, Myne thought with a lost expression. He quickly used Telepathy skill again, but this time there was no response from Fenrir's side as if she had blocked him.
