I have to hypnotize you, Aura!

"Wait! No!"

"Screw you! Who cares about you!"

In short, he went for the sake of world peace, for love and for true evil!

...................................(50,000-word dividing line omitted)------

At this moment, in reality...

"Hmm? Solitaire's aura... has weakened?"

While confronting Aura, Mahat couldn't help but look towards the forest, which was roughly where Solitaire was hiding.

'What happened?'

In his perception, Solitaire's aura became very weak in an instant, like... hibernation? Something like that.

"Hey! Are you getting distracted while fighting me?"

Aura, who was not far away, glared fiercely at the bastard, her heart filled with resentment and anger. Although she wasn't paying too much attention, even if Mahat walked slowly, he was already less than ten meters away from her.

Although she was reluctant to admit it, she knew that she probably couldn't beat her opponent now.

'What kind of magic is this? It can kill my servants at will and is immune to all damage... Are you kidding me!'

Aura's face was quite grim, as if he had anticipated his fate.

[That Fingel guy must have already run away... How despicable!]

I should have expected this. This guy was just spying on my body; why would he risk his life to save me?

A sense of despair even rose in her heart... Was she going to lose? Was she going to die here?

"Wait a minute."

Mahat hesitated for a moment and temporarily halted his attack.

'Is it that human?'

"What kind of pose is that? It's so weird."

"Wait, stop... I'm a little..."

"It's...it's going to break..."

"!"

Solitier's Affection Level: 121 (Friendly)

She was being pierced relentlessly, her body experiencing the extremes of pain and pleasure, while Fingel's unrestrained outburst seemed to bring him joy as well.

What's even more terrifying is that, for some reason, that human seemed to have turned into a beast, becoming even more violent and...perverted? She didn't know how to describe it, but in short, he would vent his anger on her at will, regardless of whether she was injured or not. Even if she had a broken bone, he would "heal" it on the spot using methods she didn't understand, and then continue doing it.

Forget about all that, Solitaire has no sense of morality or shame to begin with; she was just treated like a slave for a day.

The most terrifying thing was that while Fingel was playing with her body, he was feeding her some very strange instructions, as if something was drilling into her brain and changing her thinking.

【What's this? 】

Hypnosis? Cognitive alteration?

Solitaire felt a sense of fear. The evidence was simple: she felt a sense of 'friendliness' when she looked at Fingel and couldn't help but want to obey his commands.

Such a terrifying ability... At this rate, Solitaire suspects she might actually be brainwashed into becoming Fingel's slave.

...

[20 hours later]

In the depths of the silent, dark red space, a hand suddenly reached out—like a traveler on the verge of thirst, crawling forward with difficulty.

She was naked, her body covered in marks of sex, but she seemed to be overwhelmed by the burden.

Solitaire crawled laboriously, and taking advantage of the moment when the seemingly human but actually beastly creature was resting, she finally found an opportunity!

As a magic scholar among the demons, she found a way to break free from the illusionary world—at the location of the cross, roughly where the 'core' was.

'As long as I get to that place... I...!'

A glimmer of hope shone in her eyes. Although the time was short, it was an unprecedentedly difficult ordeal for Solitaire.

Suddenly, a large hand lashed out from the darkness, grabbing her hair. The strands of hair tangled between her fingers snapped with a sickening crack, dragging her backward as if... a chain from the abyss.

"Where are we going, Lady Solitaire?"

Solitaire's expression froze instantly, and even a hint of despair appeared in her eyes.

"I...I'm a little, a little tired." Solitaire forced a smile. "Can I rest for a bit, darling? My lower body hurts a little, let me rest, okay...ah!"

The hand gripping her hair yanked it violently, forcing her to use her hands to support herself as she struggled to her feet to ease the pain.

The figure emerged from the darkness—it was Fingel!

His golden eyes gleamed with an aggressive desire, and his originally sunny and handsome face now looked extremely evil, like a villain straight out of an anime. Especially the way he was dragging Solitaire around, which amplified his aura to the fullest, making him the kind of villain who liked to beat women.

"What are you saying...? What should you call me?"

Fingel switched hands, grabbed Solitaire by the neck, and lifted her up, looking at her body with a scrutinizing gaze.

"Master...Master!"

Solitaire spoke unconsciously.

Her heart grew heavier. Whether or not she called him "master" was irrelevant. The most important thing was... Solitaire found herself exhibiting some strange reactions.

He dipped the whip in iodine and disinfected it as he struck. Fingel felt his PUA tactics were very successful. Although there were no direct command entries implanted by the system, he had mastered some additional methods to implant the commands he wanted.

"Hehe... there are still some games I haven't played yet."

Fingel chuckled evilly, then turned around and dragged Solitier into the darkness.

"No...no, wait! Let me go, I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything you want...!"

"don't want!!!!!"

And so, for a full twenty-four hours, Solitaire spent herself being tortured, sexually assaulted, and brainwashed.

..........................................

With a casual, full-power spell, Mahat killed most of Aura's monsters and then quickly ran towards the location where Solitaire was hiding.

He had already guessed that Aura was not the breakthrough point.

In less than half a minute, Mahat arrived at the scene with lightning speed—but what had happened there left him completely baffled.

Solitier leaned weakly against the rough tree trunk, her eyes unfocused as she stared into the void, her rapid breathing causing her chest to heave violently. Sweat soaked through her thin clothes, clinging to her skin and outlining her alluring curves.

Fingel, on the other hand, stood to the side, looking completely unharmed and even full of energy.

"What... happened?"

Mahat looked at Solitaire with a puzzled expression. Her body was not injured, but her mind seemed to have suffered a great shock.

"Your name is...Mahat?"

"Is this magic that turns everything into gold, and does it aim to understand human emotions?"

Fingel looked at Mahat with a serious expression, his vigilance at its highest.

"You actually knew that?" Mahat said calmly, looking down at Fingel with indifference. "Have humans learned the magic of mind reading now?"

"Was Solitier also subdued by you?"

He had a gut feeling that what he wanted was probably not something he could find in Aura, and that the real breakthrough lay in this human.

"Keep it low-key, keep it low-key... haha."

Fingel gave an awkward laugh, but felt utterly helpless; he really wanted to run away.

Around 22 hours into the torture of Solitaire, under the pressure of his manipulation tactics using the system, Solitaire finally broke down and confessed the truth.

I didn't know when I heard it, and I was shocked when I heard it!

Damn it, someone in the demon race is cheating! It really is prophetic magic!

A demon named Shuraha actually predicted something that would happen a thousand years from now. It was probably him, Fingel, who could find a way to make humans and demons 'coexist peacefully'.

However, the implementation method caused some debate within the demon race. Some people thought it would lead to the extermination of the demon race, while others thought it might be a good thing. Mahat belonged to the conservative faction, which was the latter.

As for how to understand it... it's very simple: drag Fingel back, torture him, interrogate him, read his thoughts... anything goes.

Fingel could never accept such a thing!

What's even more troublesome is... this Mahat is quite strong.

'The magic that turns everything into gold is almost an absolute defensive magic. He can turn anything he touches into gold at will, and all his other combat attributes are also maxed out.'

According to Solitaire's assessment, the Demon King is indeed very strong, but that doesn't mean he can easily defeat the other great demons. In fact, the other great demons often don't even bother with the Demon King, because their combat strength is not that far apart.

If it really comes down to a life-or-death struggle, it's hard to say who will win and who will lose.

Finger definitely can't win against this being. Theoretically, he might be able to escape using illusion magic... but what about Aura?

They're doomed!

He was able to hypnotize Solitaire solely because she was a purely ranged offensive mage with weak melee abilities. He could use illusion magic to get within a few meters of her—producing the strongest hypnotic effect through skin contact.

But what if it were Mahat?

Faced with this enhanced version of Gandalf-type melee mage, he suspected that he would be cut in half if he got within three meters. His magic was not invincible, and he would still have to kneel down.

"Um... is it possible to reconcile? We don't really have any major conflicts."

Fingel gripped his longsword tightly, trying to communicate, but it seemed that the other side wasn't impossible to communicate with.

"There really isn't any major conflict."

Mahat stared at him and nodded slightly.

"That...?"

A glimmer of hope flashed in Fingel's eyes; he really didn't want to fight! He couldn't manage alone!

Damn it, as long as I give him a chance, I'll go and recruit people, bring Flame and Frilian over. Oh right, if he kneels down and licks the feet of his respected master, she might be able to help, right? Anyway, I won't lose anything.

Hashaha~!

"But I need your brain... to be precise, I need the thoughts in your head."

Mahat took a step forward, forcing Finger to take two steps back—one must maintain a safe distance from someone like Mahat.

"No problem! I'll tell you right now! Dude, I'll tell you anything you want to know!"

Fingel patted his chest magnanimously, but inwardly he was worried something was wrong.

What nonsense could he possibly have to say?

His method for fundamentally changing Aura was through the 'system'. However, this method is not replicable and requires Fingel to perform systemic modifications on each individual—even if he were willing to put in the effort, it's impossible to use the system to seduce male demons, right?

'To survive, I have no choice but to use the system to conquer all demons and turn them into my weapons, even if it goes against my own desires and principles?'

That's too tragic.
