Chapter 171: Baiting Enemies (III)

"You can let go of my hand now," Cecilia said when Zen continued to hold her hand tightly without planning on letting it go.

Zen seemed to be dazed as he didn't respond to Cecilia and continued to hold her hand and make sure he wasn't dreaming.

'This texture is so real that I doubt I'm daydreaming.' Zen exclaimed inwardly as he placed her hand in his face, feeling the smooth and cold feeling.

Cecilia was rendered speechless by his perverted action and tried to free her hand. However, the more she struggled, the tighter that Zen held onto her while making sure he didn't injure her in the slightest.

"That's enough already," Cecilia said as she was feeling embarrassed to have her hand being held in Zen's face in such an intimate manner.

"Can I have a kiss?" Zen ignored her complaint and requested something outrageous.

Cecilia became ticked off by his cocky behavior as she directly flung him outside the mysterious space.

Boom

Zen landed on the ground with his face facing it but that wouldn't be a problem if the ground wasn't full of ice since he forgot about his Ice Castle spell.

After feeling Cecilia's cooling hand, his face got frostbite from the sheer coldness.

Zen hurriedly got up before activating his essence flame to warm his face up and cursed inwardly. 'Damn it, I was only asking for a light peck on the cheek. Did she really have to get that angry and kick me out?'

Zen wasn't a dummy to not realize that Cecilia has some feelings for him but she decided to act like a tsundere when she was at least 10,000 years older despite her heavenly appearance that could deceive others.

Almost like Cecilia could understand his thinking, Cecilia sent an extreme electric shock into his body, causing Zen to tremble uncontrollably.

"Hmph, women are forever young and if you dared to spout nonsense regarding my age then I wouldn't mind snipping your little brother off." Cecilia scoffed and cut off the communication link.

Zen twitched his mouth in anger. He didn't even say those aloud and she merely predicted that he was thinking about it.

BANG!

Out of nowhere, a hammer struck Zen's head, causing him to fumble around and he started seeing multiple images flashing by. It was an image where he did some lewd things with his maid when he was being taught about something.

Zen turned pale and begged for mercy from Cecilia. 

'How did she get those images?' 

Zen couldn't help but become afraid of Cecilia when she got evidence of his past that he did not wish others to find out.

Suddenly, a beeping sound could be heard from the orb, causing Zen to take it out to check what's wrong.

To his surprise, his point has gone up and he ponders for a while before realizing something. Since he didn't deactivate his Ice Castle, the enemies were still busy defending against it but couldn't and died from the coldness.

The Ice Castle was an environmental spell and trapped them inside here unless the caster canceled it or they managed to break through the spell. The enemies couldn't do either one so they have succumbed to their fate and the points that they have gathered would naturally go to the person who killed them.

That person was obviously Zen who scratched his head in embarrassment. He was planning on stealing the points only and not take their life if they haven't offended him at all.

Sure, they may have attacked him first but who wouldn't do that when a suspicious person appeared out of nowhere and started speaking in a villain tone.

Zen glanced at the 7 corpses that had ice filling their face as he bowed down slightly, "Sorry for accidentally killing you but I have no control either since I was pulled away from the battle. Also, I was too concentrated on being able to touch Cecilia after a long time that I forgot about your struggles."

And he continued, "However, your death isn't really in vain as I obtained your points and given your disgusting appearance, to begin with, I doubt you're any good people anyway. Rest in peace."

If corpses can come back alive, they would definitely thrash Zen completely for his insincere apology.

Alas, there isn't any so they could only die with regret as Zen leaves the scene to meet up with Krista Dragoon and Leila Dragoon.

His mana has almost been depleted by maintaining the Ice Castle and he was feeling a little chilly despite having the essence flame to warm him up. Thus, he made sure to cancel the spell as soon as it was over while regaining some of his mana back on the way to meet them up.

Meanwhile, Krista Dragoon and Leila Dragoon were having fun obtaining so many points from killing magical beasts.

"Sister Krista, I gained another 27 points from killing these 3 magical beasts. My luck is pretty decent as well when compared to Zen." Leila Dragoon exclaimed happily as she showed her orb to Krista Dragoon who just finished shooting her javelin at a magical beast.

"Seems like our progress is pretty impressive. What should we make him do when we win the bet, Leila?" Krista Dragoon smiled and patted her head softly.

Leila Dragoon didn't reply and hugged Krista Dragoon tightly, indicating that she would let her choose what to do.

Krista Dragoon smiled briefly at her spoiled attitude again. 'This little sister of mine can change her behavior so quickly when she tries to act mature around Zen.'

"Well well well, look who we have here. Two gorgeous princesses all alone in killing some magical beasts." 

A voice echoed softly in the back of a tree, causing Krista Dragoon to be on guard.

"Who's there?" Krista Dragoon shouted and fired some javelin at the source of the voice.

"Woah, did you really have to be so ruthless at your man?" The person that was hiding exclaimed as he dodged the javelin and appeared in front of Krista Dragoon.

Krista Dragoon became pissed when she saw his face. "The next time you tried to act like some disgusting villain, I will punch you, Zen"
