The Devil Does Not Need to Be Defeated

Chapter 494: “My Fiancé”

“You…”

Carol finally reacted, her gaze towards Shien changing.

At this moment, Carol finally had a natural question.

“Who are you?”

Carol had asked this question before.

However, at that time, she wasn’t asking about Shien’s identity, but the reason why he and his group were here.

Now, having witnessed the terrifying power Lilith displayed, and knowing that Shien was the central figure of this group, Carol finally took this question seriously, and had to ask it.

“Me?”

Shien, however, didn’t answer the question, but winked at Lucy beside him.

Lucy rolled her eyes.

Because she knew that Shien was asking her to step forward.

After all, among their group, Airi and Lilith’s backgrounds were too intimidating, Lasha was just a maid, and only her identity was suitable for this occasion, neither too high nor too low, just right for resolving the situation.

Therefore, Lucy stepped forward.

“I am the Second Princess of the Kingdom of Mitra, Roselucia Mitra.”

When Lucy said this to the Elven Corps, Carol and the entire corps were shocked.

“Roselucia Mitra?”

“The Second Princess of the Kingdom of Mitra?”

“Is… is she the Kingdom’s treasure…!?”

“The one who inherited the Holy Sword and received the Goddess of Fate’s blessing…!?”

The members of the Elven Corps exclaimed.

“Y-you… you’re Princess Lucy?” Carol also looked surprised, then as if recalling something, she turned to Shien and couldn’t help but ask, “Then could he be…?”

It seemed that Carol, the vice-commander of the Elven Corps, had heard of Shien.

Lucy also glanced at Shien, a smile appearing on her face.

“He is Shien Buztout, my fiancé.”

Lucy introduced him frankly, and her tone was even more enthusiastic than when she introduced herself.

Clearly, Lucy had long wanted to do this.

However, hearing her words, Airi and Melika’s expressions turned unpleasant.

Airi was quite unhappy and snorted, turning her head away.

Melika looked envious and a bit down.

Carol and the members of the Elven Corps looked at Shien again, their gazes changing.

“Shien Buztout…”

This name had become incredibly famous recently.

He was the human protected by Airi, the Dragon Demon, one of the Six Demon Lords, and the companion of Lilith, the strongest evil god, who had recently been unsealed and entered the public eye. Moreover, he had become the fiancé of Lucy, the modern Hero, defeating countless heroes and successfully winning the hand of this unattainable flower. His name had spread throughout the human world in less than a month.

Although the Elven Race was relatively exclusive and somewhat isolated, they weren’t completely cut off from the outside world and still paid attention to news and information from the human world.

Under such circumstances, Shien’s name naturally entered their field of vision.

Ordinary elves might not know about these things, but as guardians of the Elven Race, the royal guards directly under the command of the Elven Queen, the Elven Corps couldn’t possibly not know about this sensational news.

Since that was the case…

“Then these two are…!?”

Carol looked at Airi and Lilith, her expression stiffening.

Not only Carol, but the other members of the Elven Corps also trembled.

Since Shien’s identity had been revealed, and the Elven Corps knew about the rumors surrounding him, it wasn’t difficult for them to guess Airi and Lilith’s identities.

Moreover, the terrifying power Lilith had just displayed was also explained after they learned her identity.

Now, Carol finally understood why the [Pure Flower Curtain], the strongest defensive magic unique to the Elven Race, had been broken so easily.

It wasn’t that the [Pure Flower Curtain] wasn’t strong enough.

This magic, passed down through generations of the Elven Corps, could even block the attacks of level limit experts without any damage.

However, against the power of an existence beyond the level limit, it was only natural for this magic to be ineffective.

Or rather, the fact that the [Pure Flower Curtain] could even slightly resist Lilith’s power after she unleashed it already proved its defensive capabilities, undoubtedly the strongest in the human world.

Unfortunately, this time, the opponent was too terrifying.

Carol felt that the situation was beyond her ability to handle.

Facing these people, she, a level eighty-nine vice-commander, clearly couldn’t control the situation.

Fortunately…

“Stand down, Carol.”

With this sudden voice, an emerald green light descended from the sky like a vortex, landing before Shien and his group.

Leaves and petals danced around the light, making the scene incredibly beautiful.

Everyone’s gazes were drawn to this, looking over involuntarily.

Three figures slowly emerged from the vortex of light, appearing before everyone.

Seeing these three figures, the members of the Elven Corps looked overjoyed.

Shien and his group were slightly stunned, then their eyes widened in amazement.

The reason was simple: the three figures who emerged from the vortex of light were all breathtakingly beautiful.

The one at the forefront had long, thick, emerald green hair that reached her heels. She wore a simple white dress in a Grecian style, revealing her voluptuous figure.

She was barefoot, her skin delicate and smooth, wearing a crown made of flowers and vines, and holding a wooden staff. She exuded an elegant and noble aura.

As for her appearance, it was even more stunning.

Fair skin, red lips, blue eyes, and a delicate nose, as if the most exquisite facial features in the world were combined, creating a beauty like a work of art.

This was another beauty no less stunning than Lucy or Nien, even surpassing the still-developing Diere, very close to a perfect one hundred.

Behind this stunning beauty, two elven magician girls followed respectfully, wearing robes and holding staffs, one surrounded by swirling leaves, the other with dancing petals, their appearances no less beautiful than Melika’s. If it weren’t for the presence of the queen, they would definitely be the most eye-catching ones here.

These three elven women arrived quietly, instantly captivating everyone present.

“Your Majesty!”

Carol immediately knelt on one knee.

“Your Majesty!”

All the members of the Elven Corps knelt down, surrounding the Elven Queen.

“She’s the Elven Queen?”

Shien raised an eyebrow, the amazement in his eyes still lingering.

Lucy stared intently, as if sensing a threat from the Elven Queen.

Lilith and Lasha were still the same, one looking around curiously, the other standing expressionlessly.

Only Airi, after the Elven Queen appeared, glanced at her, then looked away.

Similarly, the Elven Queen’s gaze swept over everyone, her eyes gradually filling with amazement.

While others marveled at the Elven Queen’s beauty and nobility, the Elven Queen was also amazed by Shien and his group.

Not to mention Lucy, who possessed beauty and magic power no less than her own, making the Elven Queen take her seriously, let alone Airi and Lilith.

The Elven Queen’s gaze lingered on Airi and Lilith for several seconds.

And then…

“Huh?”

When the Elven Queen’s gaze fell on Lasha, this noble elven royal was first stunned, then her expression suddenly changed for some reason.

“You…!?”

“What…!?”

Not only the Elven Queen, but even Leia and Nia’s expressions changed drastically upon seeing Lasha.

This reaction stunned Shien.

What was going on?

Shien, stunned, didn’t notice the subtle change in Airi and Lucy’s expressions after seeing the Elven Queen’s reaction.

Airi even stepped forward and looked coldly at the Elven Queen.

“You’ve become quite bold, Sophie, daring to bar my way. It seems a thousand years is a long time, making you forget your fear.”

Airi showed an aggressiveness completely different from her previous indifference.

That aggressiveness, along with a hint of ferocious dragon’s might, leaked from Airi, making everyone present shudder and reveal looks of fear.

Even Shien was surprised by Airi’s sudden assertiveness.

“Dragon Demon Princess…”

Sophie, the Elven Queen, finally reacted and took a deep breath to calm herself down.

However, her gaze still occasionally shifted to Lasha, not even fully focusing on Airi, which was puzzling.

Leia and Nia’s faces were slightly pale, their behavior unusual.

Facing this strange scene, Lasha remained expressionless and unmoved, as if everything had nothing to do with her, aloof and detached.

The atmosphere became strange.

Finally, even Shien frowned, sensing something was amiss.

But just as Shien was about to do something, he found his hand being held.

Shien turned his head and saw Lucy’s face.

Lucy didn’t say anything, just shook her head at Shien, seemingly telling him not to pursue the matter.

Shien’s frown deepened, his gaze sweeping over the Elven Queen, Airi, and Lasha, then he fell silent.

A strange atmosphere spread, making the members of the Elven Corps exchange glances.

The air became heavy.
