303. Facing Trigon.

303. Facing Trigon.

There's someone else here!?

Upon hearing Trigon's words, Raven, who had been in extreme pain, suddenly froze. She didn't even bother to wipe away her tears and immediately looked around in fear, searching for the unfamiliar presence in disbelief.

This place was Raven's own mental world, and it also served as the dimensional gateway that connected to the place where Trigon was sealed. In theory, no one else should be able to access it. As a master of magic, Raven would never allow anyone to invade her mental world.

Such an invasion could potentially lead to Trigon's release, and for a magic user like her, allowing someone into her mind was akin to handing over the keys to her home, putting her in constant danger.

But despite her suspicions, no matter how hard she tried to sense anything, she couldn't detect any unfamiliar presence. This made her wonder if this was just another one of her father's tricks.

"Father, I don't know when you became so humorous, but this is my mental world. Without my permission, no one can enter my body."

"Heh heh, daughter, you're still too young. Or perhaps you simply know too little about the powers of magic," Trigon sneered, though a hint of anger flickered inside him.

After all, Raven was his own flesh and blood, and her body contained the purest form of his dark magic. She was essentially one of his avatars, and for someone to force their way into her mental world was not only an insult to Raven but also a direct challenge to him.

Standing up, the chains binding Trigon clanked, and the entire small world began to tremble violently with his movement.

Seeing this, Raven was about to reinforce the seal to restrict her father's actions, but she stopped when she heard Trigon shouting toward a distant forest.

"What's the matter, little one? Still too scared to show yourself? My daughter may not be able to discern it, but you've hidden your projection using my demonic aura. However, that won't fool my eyes. If you don't come out soon, I'll teach you a lesson myself."

Watching her father taunting an empty spot, Raven furrowed her brows. "Stop it, Father. Whatever you're planning, it doesn't matter. I will never—uh..."

Before she could finish speaking, Alex's figure gradually appeared, cutting her off and forcing her to swallow the rest of her words in awkward silence.

"Sorry, I was planning to show myself after you two were done talking, but it seems I didn't get the chance," Alex said with a smile, stepping forward to stand beside Raven.

"Who... who are you!?" Raven reacted quickly, instantly preparing herself for battle.

Trigon pondered for a moment, recalling the typical conduct of local demons, and quickly deduced Alex's intentions.

"You're here to make a deal with me?"

Alex smiled and nodded, not denying it.

"What are you talking about!?"

At that moment, Raven interrupted loudly, cutting off the exchange between Alex and Trigon. She stared at Alex in shock, unable to believe that this person had come to negotiate with her father.

Trigon was a high-dimensional demon, a being capable of destroying worlds. To make a deal with such a terrifying entity—Raven didn't even have words to describe Alex's reckless behavior.

She had already been wary of this man, who radiated demonic energy, but now her hostility was escalating.

Trigon's goal was clear: he wanted to break free from his seal and escape. Whatever deal Alex hoped to strike with him would inevitably revolve around that goal, and this was something Raven could never agree to.

"You can't—"

Alex snapped his fingers.

Before Raven could finish her sentence, she vanished from the mental world.

With that done, Alex turned back to Trigon, smiling. "It's better not to have anyone else around for our deal. She's been tired for a while, so let her get some rest, don't you think?"

Trigon watched silently as Alex used a strange magical energy to tear a rift and send Raven's mental projection into the dream world. He didn't intervene but instead nodded and spoke in a deep voice.

"Very well. I'm quite curious about the deal you propose."
