Chapter 124: Best Friend V/S Best Friend

"Not only Sable, I fucked both Elfie and Alice also and both of them were so tasty..."

?!

It only took a moment for Llyod to come to his senses after hearing those cursed words from Kaisen's mouth. The next moment, he was on top of his horse, ready to leap toward Kaisen and tackle him.

Seeing this, Kaisen rolled his eyes.

There was no way this dude could even remotely harm him, and he could easily maneuver his horse to avoid Llyod's leap.

But Kaisen didn't do that.

Instead, he sprang up and stood on his galloping horse just as Llyod lunged at him.

Kaisen smiled and launched himself toward his best friend, meeting him mid-air.

Llyod had been pissing him off since day one in this game.

This dude blamed him for getting killed by the demoness that started this whole mess.

And for the past few weeks, Llyod had belittled Kaisen in front of the women he wanted to seduce.

Like he did in front of the Queen, in front of Elfie, and even Sable and Alice.

It all rubbed Kaisen the wrong way, and what better way to set things straight than to beat some sense into his best friend?

And that's what Kaisen did.

Like a pro wrestler, he speared Llyod in mid-air, and they both plummeted to the ground.

Maximus was stunned beyond belief. His eyes were wide open, his lips agape, and his breath stopped.

It was one thing for Kaisen to brag about fucking Sable, Maximus's own fiancée, but it was another thing entirely to tell a guy in love that his crush was tasty.

Maximus immediately halted his horse and jumped off.

The duo had landed on the ground, and Llyod quickly rolled to the side, taking a cautious stance.

He was kinda flabbergasted at the exchange.

'It was just a lucky punch. Nothing more. I'll make sure this fool never touches me again.'

He faced off against Kaisen, who stood there nonchalantly, a smirk playing on his lips.

"Stay back!"

Llyod yelled at Maximus as he saw the knight coming to stop the fight.

"I've had enough of him! This fucker is spewing nonsense about innocent women!"

Llyod was fuming with anger.

"And don't worry, I won't kill him. I'll go easy on him."

He never believed his friend could even pull a woman, let alone fuck three beauties.

Kaisen was always a loser who tried to flirt with his girlfriend whenever he had time, but that obviously never resulted in anything other than being mocked by Llyod and Alice.

And now this guy was claiming he had the chance to fuck not one, but three women in a single night?

Unbelievable.

As Kaisen's best friend, it was his duty to teach him not to lie and to show the consequences of lying against someone powerful like himself.

Llyod activated his berserker aura, which granted him extra attack points but reduced his defense and a bit of his sanity.

He could now be considered a level 26.

This was the moment of truth.

How much would they believe him?

That wasn't even a question. They would believe him, by his words or his skills.

...

After an hour of going back and forth, Kaisen imparted all his wisdom about the Shapeshifters to the confused duo.

Except for how he identified them, of course. There was no way he was going to reveal that to anyone.

What's he going to say to them? That he has a system that grants him lust points whenever he touches a woman?

They would put him in a mental hospital or call him a pervert.

No. No one could know about this.

When Llyod and Maximus heard everything he said, the former was dumbfounded while the latter was contemplative.

As expected, they didn't believe him at all. Llyod was shaking his head vigorously, and Maximus was silently watching Kaisen, gauging how much of it was true.

But seeing Maximus's calm expression, Kaisen was sure he knew something about this. Like what the Nightshade was or at least, their power.

So when Kaisen asked about it, Maximus shook his head.

"This is exactly why I said we shouldn't have come to this hell forest infested with demons at all. You all didn't hear me at all."

Maximus said with a sigh.

"How much do you know about these freaks?"

Kaisen asked, wanting to know more about this Nightshade.

"Nothing much. No data of them being shapeshifters is there. But I do have some suspicions. You do know how all the people who came here went missing, right?"

Kaisen nodded his head.

"I believe they must've used this shapeshifting to abduct the real ones one by one. Nobody other than you must've figured this out."

Maximus's deduction was spot on. That was how Kaisen had thought about it too.

"Haha... you aren't believing this, right? Maximus-san, we can't believe this fool. He's after our women."

Slap~

Llyod was silently mumbling again, looking like he was having a nervous breakdown.

It seemed he had a hard time believing what his friend just said.

Kaisen only gave him a quick look and a swift slap before resuming his conversation with the knight.

"But why, Maximus? Why do they want to abduct so many people? I can understand them wanting a total lunar eclipse, but why the abductions?"

Maximus didn't answer at first. He just looked at Kaisen like he knew the answer.

And at this point, there was no need for further thinking.

Why would shapeshifting creatures abduct so many beings? Also, why couldn't they summon a total lunar eclipse after all these years?

The answer was chillingly clear.

"I think you very well know the answer, Kaisen-kun."

Kaisen's breathing quickened as he refused to believe the knight. Then, stuttering, he replied,

"For sacrificing..."
