The Devil Does Not Need to Be Defeated-Chapter 278: “I’ve Got To Marry This Girl!”

Chapter 278: “I’ve Got To Marry This Girl!”

Shien doesn’t really remember what happened after that.

He just remembers being in a dazed state. His brain had turned to mush and was forcibly stuffed with all kinds of thoughts. In the end, all of his attention was taken up by Diere’s Hellenesque face, and he remained stunned for quite a while.

Although Shien should have some resistance against beauty after seeing Nien and Lucy, so he shouldn’t have acted so dumbly just because of a girl’s looks. Even so, this time is completely different.

After all, Diere had kissed him!

No, wait. Hadn’t Nian also kissed him!

As for Lucy, although she hasn’t kissed him, it’s not like they haven’t played around and flirted quite a bit, right?

Thinking about it that way…

“Could it be that I missed a lot of opportunities?”

Shien suddenly had a realization.

However, even though he realized, Shien still couldn’t calm down at all.

To repeat those words from before, the situation this time is completely different.

Diere had not only kissed him, but she had pushed her whole body against him, and this is when she’s completely naked at that.

In that kind of situation, Diere even suddenly took off her mask, revealing the mystery of her face to Shien. Add in the fact that her looks were just that outrageous, does the attack power of that move even need to be elaborated upon?

Especially given the words that Diere threw out then.

“You’re the first person to see my true appearance.”

The attack power of that move is unbelievable here!

This made Shien completely dazed. Then, he got out of the water in a daze, before then heading back to the camp in a daze.

Diere had also put her mask back on, gotten dressed, and laid back down next to Vivian and company before going to sleep like nothing had happened.

However, back when they were in the water, while Shien was completely in a daze, that girl who acted like nothing had happened seemed to have washed him clean, dragged him out of the water, and then helped him get back dressed.

And after she dragged Shein back to the camp, Diere had said one last thing.

“There’s no need to feel any pressure or responsibility. This is just my own selfish hope and decision. There’s no need for you to feel forced by it.”

“I only need you to leave me a position besides you, and allow me to stay there.”

“Whatever else can happen naturally on its own.”

Having said those final words, Diere finally laid down.

Shien just stared dully at Diere.

Then, only a single thought was left in his muddled mind.

“I’ve got to marry this girl!”

He’ll definitely receive divine punishment if he doesn’t marry her.

Thus, Shien decided. Anyone who dares to stop him will end up a ghost under his Holy Sword.

Even if it’s Diere’s super amazing dad. If he wants to stop Shien, then Shein will cut him down without exception.

Don’t call Shien tyrannical here. Also, don’t talk about how this ignores Diere’s own feelings on this.

It needs to be mentioned that, back at the start, on the night when the two of them first bared themselves to each other, Diere had said the following.

“If, someday, I showed you my true appearance, then that’s probably around the time when I’ll be swearing loyalty to you.”

“When that time comes, my everything will all be yours.”

And today, Diere had taken her mask off.

In that case then, who the heck has the right to object?

Do her!

Cough… No, that’s not right…

Marry her!

He has to marry her!

Shien sat on a rock by himself and watched Diere as she quietly slumbered next to Vivian and the others. There, he made that firm decision.

“Eh?”

At that moment, something caught Shien’s attention, making him come back to himself.

“A demonic beast?”

Shien identified the other party’s identity from its magic power.

However, it’s a bit strange if it really is a demonic beast.

“Why is its magic power so messed up?”

The other party’s magic power was extremely chaotic, almost like something’s cannibalizing it. It was extremely strange.

“Plus, if it’s a demonic beast, then why is it that there’s no response from [Enemy Detection]?”

[Enemy Detection] is a skill that detects hostility. It’s effect is especially obvious against demonic beasts.

It’s because all demonic breasts are naturally hostile to mortals. The moment they see a mortal, they’ll basically always attack without exception. Since their hostility is always present and is always so direct and obvious, [Enemy Detection] is thus capable of clearly noticing their existences.

But this fast approaching demonic beast didn’t cause any reaction from Shien’s [Enemy Detection] skill. Thus, it’s only natural that Shein would find it strange.

Besides that, right now, the Demon Refining ritual is still active in the Canyon. For a demonic beast to be still fine and not having turned into a refining demon, that really is surprising.

Of course, the more attention grabbing bit is the sheer might of the magic power signature. It’s already far surpassed all the demonic beasts that Shien has seen up until now.

According to Shien’s knowledge, there’s only one demonic beast this strong in the entire Ataru Canyon.

“Could it be…”

Shien narrowed his eyes while giving a glance in Diere and the others’ direction.

Looking at them sleeping so peacefully, Shien thought it over a bit and ended up deciding not to disturb them.

“Let’s let them properly rest.”

As for that fast approaching powerful demonic beast…

“I’m enough on my own.”

With that, Shien disappeared in a flash.

Leaving just the girls to continue slumbering.

…

At the same time, up in the air over the canyon, an enormous figure was still flying about at high speed.

From the looks of things, it doesn’t seem like its full attention is on flying. Rather, it’s like it’s trying to let out some kind of pain by speeding up as much as it can, roaring as it flew.

“Roar!”

At a certain moment, that figure seemed to have detected something and suddenly raised its head, looked forward, and roared or in rage.

“Whoosh!”

Almost at the exactly same moment, a figure appeared before it, blocking its way.

“Evolve!”

The moment he showed up, Shien activated his [Limit Evolution] without any hesitation.

“[Enchant – Hardening].”

At the same time, Shien extended a hand and enchanted it with the “harden” property, making it shine with magical energy.

Right after that, Shien struck out with his hardened fist in a mighty blow against that fast approaching figure.

“Boom-!!!”

A thunderous impact rang out in the air, followed by a burst of wind and shockwave.

“Roar-!!!”

The enormous figure let out a pained roar before falling from the sky, heavily slamming into the ground, blasting up a cloud of dust, and violently shaking the ground.

Shien had blown that enormous demonic beast from the air with raw strength.

It’s only after that Shien looked down toward the ground to observe the dust cloud.

A bit later, Shien finally clearly saw the true appearance of that demonic beast.

“Eh?

The next second, Shien was stunned.
