What did he say?!
Yunyun's pomegranate-red eyes narrowed to slits, and in the next second, they emitted a terrifying crimson glow!
"Really!? You really want to be my friend!? You're not just giving me hope only to surround me with despair, are you!? Or is this just a hallucination because my brain is messed up!?" Yunyun seemed to have flipped some unusual switch, her beast-like red glare ready to pounce, making Ethan's heart feel as if it had been hit by a brick.
"I just want to be friends with you, no need to get so excited, right?" Ethan suppressed the strange feeling that suddenly arose in his heart, just about to continue speaking when a sharp pain exploded in his head!
That was Yunyun's life!
A lonely girl comforting herself at home, a girl who almost went down the wrong path due to a lack of friends and communication!
So that's how it was...
Ethan endured the pain in his head and looked at Yunyun, who was still staring at him with a dazzling red glow, his heart filled with pity for this lonely girl. A childhood like that was truly too sad!
"Of course I'm excited, this is my first friend besides Megumin! Finally, I've managed to find my first friend in life through my own efforts! From now on, even Megumin can't call me a 'lonely girl' anymore!" Yunyun waved her hands exaggeratedly, making friends, which is a very simple and ordinary thing for most people, seemed like an extraordinary blessing to her!
This made Ethan like the girl in front of him even more. Although he still deeply loved Eris, he did not hesitate to use his power to help others in need, and Yunyun in front of him was the person he decided to help at this moment!
"AH—!"
A white polar light descended onto Ethan's body, causing Yunyun to suddenly scream. At that moment, she almost thought that the friend she had just made was about to leave her for hell!
Feeling the white polar light shining on his body, Ethan was also startled and his heart raced, but after realizing that there was no damage, he finally knew that it was Eris's purification magic.
"Hmph—!" Eris's blue eyes were filled with coldness, then she turned her head away and continued to unleash endless purification magic to kill the Host who kept resisting!
"Is she jealous?" Ethan frowned, he could only think of this reason why Eris suddenly used purification magic on him. After all, he was not a Demon-possessed creature or a Demon incarnation, even if Eris had just become an Arch Priest, she would not make a stupid mistake like attacking the wrong person.
So, Ethan could only think so, and also felt very happy!
At least the hard struggle of the past month was not in vain!
He shifted his gaze back to the battle between Eris and the Host. Eris, who had a great advantage against Demons, was in a very favorable position, even just by using purification magic continuously, she could make the Host struggle desperately. However, Eris was very inexperienced in combat.
Although the difference in strength between the two sides was so great that Eris could defeat her opponent with a single move, the Host used various strange skills and rich combat experience to hold the situation, making it so that even with an absolute advantage, Eris could not crush the Host.
But this was natural, because Eris was ultimately the Goddess of Fortune. Although she had power far beyond that of humans, she did not have the trained combat experience of human warriors. Otherwise, the Host would have been instantly defeated at the beginning of the battle!
Thinking of this, Ethan decided to intervene!
Although he knew that a high-level Demon like the Host meant nothing to Eris, he did not want to take the slightest risk that could cause Eris to be injured. After all, creatures like Demons were very difficult to deal with, they had various strange special skills, even if their power was weak, they could overwhelm creatures far stronger than them!
*BANG!*
Ethan's right leg turned into a giant hammer with the power of thousands of kilograms hitting the ground, cracks like spider webs immediately appeared on the ground he stepped on, and the strong wind generated by his rapid movement blew away all the flying dust!
"Uwa—!?"
Due to his sudden action, Yunyun lost her balance and almost fell to the ground, letting out a surprised sound. But the following event made her so shocked that her mouth opened wide!
"What—!?"
Ethan jumped into the air and was already above the Host, in the Host's horrified view, he swung the Demon Sword!
The Demon Sword was a large black sword with red veins like blood, containing an aura that made one's hair stand on end!
"Sword of Light (Darkness)—!"
The Demon Sword was immediately filled with overflowing magical power, and in the next second, it turned into a black light sword that split the air!
"AHHH—!"
Only able to let out a scream, the Host, who was already pressured by Eris and only had its body left, was split in two from the middle!
"Die, Demon!"
Being split in two was a sad thing, but for a Demon, it was only a slightly troublesome external injury, so Eris coldly moved her hand and brought down purification magic like punishment from the heavens!
"AHHH—!" With a final scream, the Demon named Host turned into black smoke under the holy punishment!
However, facing such a situation, Ethan not only did not relax, but instead gathered even greater magical power in the Demon Sword, then swung it strongly towards the back of Eris!
"Sword of Light (Darkness)—!"
"AHHH—! Damn human! How could you see through my substitute!?" In the place cut by the Sword of Light (Darkness), appeared again the Host split in two!
Indeed, the previous Host did not die! Because he had a special Demon skill called 'Substitute', allowing him to survive the terrifying attacks of Ethan and Eris before.
And the reason he could avoid others' sight and make people think he was already dead, was another special Demon skill, 'Illusion'! It was a skill similar to 'Clone', but with a far higher deceptive power than 'Clone' without attacking ability.
Unfortunately, all of this was still visible to Ethan!
