Chapter 395 Don't Worry...



After a long time of inactivity, suddenly today the System appeared to be active again.

Could it be… the system once again wanted to reduce the number of players?

While Hikaru was confused, Seraphen's voice spoke again.

"You… Why didn't you say anything? Don't you accept me?"

"Ack! But… I heard you only like women. AA!!"

Before Hikaru could finish his sentence, Seraphen bit him on the neck, although she didn't use much force, it made him feel a bit of pain.

"Are you a bloodsucker?" Hikaru tried to push her away but she still wouldn't let go of him.

He didn't want to use his strength because he was afraid he would hurt Seraphen, but indeed she was trying her best to hold him tight.

"Yes, I will bite you to death. Stupid, rotten, lustful man."

Seraphen bit his neck while scolding him. Luckily for Hikaru, she didn't use all of her strength to bite him, or else he would have to push her away, even injuring her.

Although Seraphen scolded him a lot, she only bit him lightly. When she opened her mouth, there was only a small tooth mark on his neck, which would probably disappear quickly.

However, Seraphen looked at the marks of her teeth on Hikaru's neck, she stepped back, looked him straight in the eyes, and with a soft tone he asked: "Do you… are you hurt?"

Hikaru sighed, "No, it won't hurt even if you bite a little harder. After all, I am much stronger than you."

Seraphen reached out, stroked the marks of her teeth on his neck, and angrily said: "You are not allowed to use healing magic, this is my mark, indicating my ownership over you."

"Heh?!" Hikaru felt that Seraphen was a bit arrogant. He shook his head and said: "You can't own me, I have many other women."

"Huh! I know! But I want your body to have traces of me."

"Ah! Even if I don't use healing magic, your teeth marks will disappear quickly."

Seraphen pouted hearing that, the jealousy in her heart rising in a very strong way.

Suddenly, she hugged his neck, then proactively offered her fragrant lips. Then their two lips touched, that's right, just touched.

After 3 seconds, she immediately pushed Hikaru away, her face filled with triumph: "Huh! This mark you cannot erase."

Hikaru: "..."

He sighed and said: "Haizz, you like women, I like women too. You are the Holy Maiden, my enemy. Our relationship will never work out well."

Seraphen clenched her fists tightly, her eyes were also once again watery: "So what?"

"Hm?!"

"So that means… you won't accept me?" Seraphen's voice trembled slightly.

Hikaru could see that her body was also shaking, but it seemed that she was using all of her courage to face him.

"Master." Suddenly, Saraya's voice rang in his head. He glanced toward the door.

In that place, Anno and Saraya were still crouched to the side, observing the situation inside.

"Hold her." Saraya said.

"You… Why should I keep her? She is our enemy."

"AAA!! Hold her back, please, master, please…"

Saraya's gaze was filled with pity that he couldn't refuse. In the end, he could only sigh and say: "Of course I accept you."

"Really?" Seraphen's eyes suddenly once again shone like two stars.

"However, you will become an enemy of the sanctuary, you will no longer have any rights, you will no longer be the Holy Maiden."

Seraphen heard that and smiled: " In the beginning I had nothing, now I am back with nothing, that is also normal."

Hikaru heard that and it was as if he was enlightened. That's right, we haven't brought anything into this world since we were born.

Now, even if you don't  own anything it is still  normal.

Hikaru then nodded and said, "So… welcome to my territory."

Seraphen suddenly put an index finger in the middle of his forehead: "Huh! It is your honor to have me here."

Hikaru could only sigh at Seraphen's arrogance, however, he didn't hate it.

He knew that Seraphen was only arrogant, in the end, she was just a weak girl.

She also knows how to cry, to love, and to make other people pamper her.

"Wait! What did you come here for?" Suddenly, Hikaru asked.

"AAA!! I forgot I had something to tell you." Seraphen was startled, she hurriedly said, "Hikaru, you need to prepare well because the Pope is coming to take over this place."

Hikaru was not surprised to hear that, he shrugged and said, "Um. I knew."

"Heh?! Did you know? Wait! Why do you know?" Looking at Hikaru's extremely calm expression, Seraphen felt extremely confused.

'Why does Hikaru know that, does he have a spy inside Saric Sanctuary?'

'No, I just heard the news, even if he's a spy inside Sanctuary he won't be as fast as me.'I think you should take a look at

Hikaru shook his head with a smile and said, "I thought it would come faster, but it seems your Pope is also a little worried about my strength."

"Heh?!" Seraphen was a bit confused, she completely didn't understand where Hikaru's confidence came from.

He explained: "From the moment I gave you the cake, I thought that surely the sanctuary, no, to be more precise, your Pope would notice me."

"There are two ways to make that cake. The first way, find ingredients and recipes from ancient ruins. The second way is to grow your own agricultural crops to get ingredients for baking."

"No matter what, your Pope will notice me."

"Why?" Seraphen asked again.

At this moment, he felt that this Holy Maiden was a little dazed. He explained with a sigh: "If your Pope thought of the first way, he would think that I have taken over some ancient relic."

"According to the laws of this world, all ancient ruins must be managed by the Saric Sanctuary. If I own a relic that has enough resources to make a cake, then the sanctuary will certainly not let me go."

Seraphen heard that and nodded, she felt that this was extremely reasonable. If there were enough resources in the ruins to make a cake, it means that there were countless other resources in the ruins.

The sanctuary certainly will not let any other individual, kingdom or clan possess that relic.

"If your pope thinks I'm the second direction it's even more dangerous. In this world, the land and water are both poisoned with fog, making it impossible to develop agriculture."

"If I hold the ability to develop agriculture, to be more precise, the ability to produce food, the more your Pope perceives me as dangerous."

Seraphen also nodded at Hikaru's words. That's right, just like the Pope told her before, if any individual possessed the ability to develop agriculture or the ability to produce food, the balance of power in this world would collapse.

"But… if you already knew that, why did you still give me that cake?"

Hikaru said with a smile: "Because I want to bet, bet on what kind of person your Pope is."

"But… I…" She meant to say that Pope Satrito was a good person, however, the act of wanting to go to Hikaru's domain was nothing more than a declaration of war.

In the end, Seraphen could only stay silent. She considerd Satrito as her father anyway, but Hikaru was now the one who holds her heart.

No matter who failed, she would be heartbroken.

"No, I don't want to see that happen."

Hearing Seraphen's words, Hikaru shook his head as he said: "Something is bound to happen. No matter how hard you try, war between me and Sanctuary will break out."

That's right, Hikaru said this not just based on his subjective opinion.

He knew that as his territory flourished, the more mixed-blooded people that came to this place, the more it would attract the attention of other kingdoms.

In particular, the fact that he possesses the ability to trade food will make Saric Sanctuary pay attention to him.

He even predicted that the Sanctuary would definitely come here to take over his agricultural development technology.

War is inevitable.

In the end, only the one possessing the power that surpasses all can stand firm and set new rules for this world.

Seraphen was a little sad, she didn't think that one day she would have to face something like this.

It was funny that before, Seraphen was the one who despised the so-called love, despised men.

But now, she has fallen in love with a man, and even became the person standing in the middle of the battle between the two men she loves.

One is her father.

The other is her love.

Seraphen sighed, feeling extremely tired and desperate.

"Hikaru… are you… strong enough to resist the Pope?"

Hikaru frowned upon hearing that, he said, "When will the Pope come?"

When Seraphen heard this, he said, "After the discovery of the ruins is complete, they will come. Probably… about seven days."

"7 more days… it seems… we still have time."

"But… 7 days is enough for you to prepare? If you don't feel well then…"

"No!" Although Seraphen hadn't finished yet, Hikaru knew what she meant: "Running away is not the best option. Even if I successfully run away, what about my inhabitants?"

"Don't worry, 7 days is enough."

Seraphen then  said worriedly, "Hikaru, don't be so confident. Do you know what is above level 99? It's King level. The Sanctuary possesses 7 Priests who have reached King rank."

"There are even a few people who are serving the Saric Sanctuary who have reached King rank."

"And the Pope has reached the rank of Pseudo-Saint. His strength is so terrifying, you can't resist his power."

"Pseudo-Saint? Looks like we need to be more prepared." Hikaru said calmly, his expression devoid of fear but just a little bit of worry.

"You… you… you bastard! Why are you so calm? Do you know how much I worry about you?"

Seraphen angrily slapped Hikaru's body with both hands. Of course he didn't feel any pain.

Hikaru grabbed Seraphen's hands, pulled her into his lap, and said softly, "Don't worry, I promise you everything will be fine."
