Broken quickly prepared to summon Gaia if the situation worsened. This was clearly a Named Demon, and while its rank was relatively low, in the 60s, its level of 227 made it
unpredictable. He had no idea what this demon cat was capable of.
The demon cat sat and stared at them with a sharp gaze. "I see you're having trouble, meow?"
There had to be a reason why the demon appeared, even though the trial wasn't finished yet. And it showed up right after a new challenger joined the Trial. But this was truly unexpected -Broken didn't anticipate encountering a Named Demon so soon.
He immediately sent messages to Freya and Maylock, updating them on the situation. Maybe they had more information about this Duke Flauros.
"I'm a Named Demon, ranking 64, meow... I'm very powerful... I know you must be terrified just hearing my name, right, meow?" the cat taunted.
"You're a Named Demon, but I see you're not fully summoned to Yunatea. You've stayed here in this Trial Domain," Broken replied. "Does that mean you'll be released if we fail to complete the Trial?"
"You're quite smart for someone with such a low level, meow." Flauros responded. "But, what kind of cheating did you use to enter this domain? Are you some sort of divine champion, meow?"
So the cat knew Broken's level, indicating he shouldn't be in this Trial Domain, which was restricted to level 200 and above. Alora turned to Broken, surprised to hear that his level wasn't high enough to enter the domain.
"This Trial Domain is designed to be impossible to complete, meow. So your fate is sealed to stay here forever," Flauros continued with a sinister grin.
"We will kill you, and the Trial Domain will end on its own," Broken said firmly.
"You're so funny, meow... How can someone with such a low level dream of killing me? There's no way; you will both soon die. And as a bonus, I get the Crowned Princess of Dissidia Kingdom in my bounty. I'm so happy, meow..."
[Vines of Torment (Active Skill)]
Broken cast a skill, and five massive vines sprouted from the floor, locking onto the cat demon and squeezing its body. However, the cat poofed into a shadow and reappeared nearby, untouched.
"MEOW! Can't you be a bit kinder to a cat, meow! I'm a ranked demon; show some respect to me!"
Ignoring the plea, Broken cast his dash skill and sped towards the cat.
"Broken!" Alora called out, rushing after him with her sword at the ready.
Broken dashed forward, attempting to strike the cat, but each time he got close, the cat would poof away and reappear elsewhere.
Broken smiled thinly at Flauros's words. "That's very kind of you. I didn't know demons could be so generous."
"Meow, what do you think we are? Heartless creatures? We're just like you, normal beings with daily lives and hobbies, meow."
"But what if I refuse your offer and decide to continue the Trial?"
"I doubt you're that foolish, meow. The monsters will keep leveling up, and you'll die a
senseless death," Flauros warned.
A silence fell between them for a few moments.
"Is he telling the truth, Broken?" Alora whispered, breaking the silence.
Broken reached out and took Alora's hand, a signal that he wanted her to trust his decision.
"So, you want me to trust and follow your decision," she said softly.
"What do you think, Princess?"
"You're putting too much at stake by gambling with the fate of the crowned princess of the Dissidia Kingdom."
"What if I manage to get us out of here safely? Will there be a grand reward for me?"
Alora paused, contemplating. "I wouldn't be alive if you hadn't come; so, whether you show up and we fail miserably or you never came at all, it's the same outcome for me. But if you succeed in saving me, I suppose that makes you worthy enough to claim me as your bride." Broken was stunned for a moment, then turned to her slowly, speechless.
"What do you think? Marrying the Princess of Dissidia Kingdom and the future ruler of the
kingdom?"
"This isn't the right time to joke, Princess."
"You sure are oblivious, aren't you? Do you think a royal like me would lie? But you need to
wait until I become the true ruler. What do you think? But first, make sure you don't make the wrong decision," she said, looking at him intently.
"Meow, I'm getting sleepy. What do you think? Please decide... what's your answer!" Flauros demanded impatiently.
