Chapter 70: Influence


    But the most significant spotlight was naturally the hungry demon. In the middle, with his vast form, Wolfen Demon mmed his wolf face onto Sara, pushing her behind with each blow.


    She defended with her spear, but to no avail as the demon was just too big. She could at most mitigate some damage.


    Her armor had it the worst, though. A few big chunks had fallen off her body already, revealing Sara’s skin, which was painted red. Her spear also suffered many durability losses, to say nothing of her stamina.


    Seeing her in such a state, Ste immediately extended her hand and cast her powerful healing skill, “Heal.”


    The name was much grander, but Ste was Ste.


    Feeling that divine energy, although it hurt her too, Sara could only feel happiness as her human side allowed the holy mana to close some of her wounds. Her health points rose, and she slowly regained a better footing.


    Naturally, Alex didn’t stop moving. He kept going forward.


    “Ste! Let me go! Now!” Alex ordered his girl.


    Although it was like an order, Ste felt the concern behind his voice. That emotion prevailed, forcing her wings to sprout from her back. Those wings took her to the sky, where she could see the whole battlefield.


    In Alex’s voice, the immense anger was also concealed. In this case, all girls could hear and feel it.


    Atst, Alex applied all he had at his disposal. His shattering thrust went forward, aiming for the hungry demon’s paw!


    BANG!


    [Critical Strike! -470 HP!]


    His Ice Breath went through Wolfen Demon’s skin as if butter. That was mainly due to Alex’s swordsmanship, which was S-ranked. Then, he applied his skills and cast his anger onto his sword.


    But most of his strength came from Alex’s legendary ss. His rtionship with Sara grew significantly, and he developed an affection for her. As his ss was to be her husband, he needed to be damn strong and cool in her presence.


    [Elias Deathwill’s Swordsmanship has be temporarily SS-ranked.]


    After Alex’s sword sank into the demon’s paw, he immediately drew an arc, drawing dozens of blood.


    That blood rained down on him, dripping from his head.


    He inflicted shocking damage and high bleeding, which turned Wolfen Demon mad.


    In such an incredible and epic mood, Alex whispered to Sara, “I will keep him busy. You girls go and fight with the four bosses. After fighting with skeleton bosses, I can’t underestimate bosses from thisnd.


    After you deal with them, we will fight this guy together,” Alex nced behind and smiled brightly.


    Although Sara was in a devastated state, she had received powerful healing and boost from her sister. The same buffs fell onto Alex, increasing his strength and stamina and lowering mana costs!


    But she still wanted to ask whether Alex was okay with that setting. She wanted to know whether he truly could face Wolfen Demon alone. She had so many questions to ask him.


    Nheless, it was Alex’s moment.


    “Thanks,” Sara smiled gently like a girl in love, then turned around.


    It was indeed his moment. If she kept asking bothersome questions, she would hurt Alex’s confidence. Her worry would bring adverse effects.


    Therefore, in a simr mood to the honor student from before, Sara thanked Alex and turned around to team up with her sisters.


    ‘You have what it takes to be a good man, Alex,’ Sara inwardly thought.


    In her mind, a cat woman shed. Although Schnee got a good impression of Alex and their rtionship took a significant leap, Schnee still wasn’t sold on him.


    But as the ss was [Husband] and they were the wives, only the equal support and trust would bring out the whole strength from the Deathwill Castle. The husband and wives would only truly benefit in such a case.


    Sara already believed that Alex had all to turn into a good man. He was just too young, but if he kept going on this path, he would turn into a man in which every Deathwill Sister would find warmth and support.


    Since Ste literally epted him as her husband from the start and then developed a genuine affection, the winged girl’s rtionship could only climb a better.


    Sara was a little simr, but her daughter stopped her. In fact, Alex had to truly be Celia’s father. Her rtionship with Alex would develop further only after such an event.


    ‘If we exclude the age gap, then it’s not like he is not her type…’ Sara thought, but then she found her thoughts selfish.


    In the end, Deathwill Castle’s future weighed the most on Sara’s mind. Once again, she was doing everything for her daughter’s sake so that the little duhan could have a safe ce for herself.


    Schnee’s rtionship with Alex yed a crucial part in Deathwill Castle’s powers.


    Sara nced at Schnee, ‘Do I really think that Alex is her type, or am I influenced by our circumstances?’


    Forcing stuff was never smart. Sara knew this much.


    [Why do you sound like you have no other choice?]


    But then, Alex’s voice rang out in Sara’s head. Her eyes gleamed as if she had found an understanding. It was as if she had found her own path!


    ‘Yes, we have so many choices. And if there’s no choice, we will make one, right?’ Sara sweetly spoke to herself.


    In the end, she loved her daughter the most. But, she had still developed an affection toward a particr human yer. Therefore, she decided to let him influence her too and make the best choice out of love for her two beloveds.


    Suddenly, Sara felt a surge of strengthing from within her heart. Her faint but sweet connection with Alex and his legendary ss again brought out wonders!


    [You can use your epic skill, Duhan’s Mist, without your Ultimate Skill from now on.]


    “It seems like I am catching up to Ste,” Sara grinned to herself like a young maiden in love, “Next time, I will give you a skill, Alex.”
