Chapter 720

It had to be said that these guys from the Old Demons Faction were very professional. Although they did not dare to show their faces, they still searched all possible places where Shien and Chafne could be.

Shien took Chafne with him and used [Inner Perception of Destiny] to hide in a cave in the forest, avoiding the detection of those guys. Even so, several groups of people had already searched nearby and even entered the cave. If not for the powerful effect of [Inner Perception of Destiny], Shien and Chafne would have been discovered long ago.

Of course, even if they were discovered, Shien could teleport away with Chafne and hide somewhere else.

With Shien's teleportation ability, the barrier set up by the guys from the Old Demons Faction could not stop him at all. He could pass through if he wanted and did not have to worry about being discovered at all.

However, the curse on Chafne's body was a little troublesome.

That was, it would erupt from time to time. Although it was not fatal, it was very torturous.

Chafne's face turned pale a few times, and she was on the verge of collapsing. If not for Shien using [Starburst's Breath] to stabilize the condition of the curse, she might have already collapsed.

In addition, every time the curse erupted, there would be some special negative waves. Although Shien and Chafne had not been discovered yet, the number of Old Demons Faction members in the forest was unsurprisingly increasing.

This only proved one thing.

"Are we going to be surrounded?"

Shien saw this clearly.

"Looks like they've already confirmed our location based on the waves of the curse on me."

Chafne's expression did not look too good either.

Sean could not help but feel a trace of heartache when he saw the alluring beauty sitting there with a pale face and a pitiful look on her face that seemed to be on the verge of collapse.

This made Chafne raise an eyebrow and laugh.

"Not bad. You finally know how to care for your big sister."

Chafne did not seem to care about the curse on her at all. She laughed happily as usual.

"You're still teasing me at a time like this?" Shien said helplessly. "If I don't think of something, I'll really have to charge out and kill my way out."

Otherwise, given the current situation, even if Shien teleported away with Chafne, the other party would quickly sense the curse on Chafne and immediately chase after them like sharks that had smelled blood.

Since that was the case, Shien would rather leave Chafne here and go out and kill a wave of people himself. He would first weaken the enemy's strength and then find an opportunity to escape.

Since he had to fight or run, Shien would rather go out and kill a wave of people first and then leave happily.

Chafne seemed to have seen through Sean's intentions. After a moment of silence, she spoke.

After thinking for a while, she said this.

Sean's spirit was lifted by Chafne's words.

Shien stood up.

Shien said.

"The first way is to wait for help."

. to to to.

. Shien.

Shien did not want to say anything else.

"Don't look at me like that, I'm serious." Chafne giggled. "My Rippling Heart Demon can connect to others. As long as I ask for help from Liel or my sisters, they will immediately receive the news and rush over as fast as possible."

"Is that so?" Shien was surprised. "Then why don't you do that?"

"You think I don't want to?" Chafine rolled her eyes and said, "It's just that even that guy has come this time. Even if Liel and the others come, they won't be able to do anything. They'll just be throwing their lives away for nothing. The sisters are a little far from here. By the time they come to help, that guy will have already run away with his people."

Sean thought for a moment and nodded in agreement with Chafnir's words.

Since the other party had planned to use the Rippling Heart Demon to curse Chafne, they would definitely know that Chafne's Rippling Heart Demon could connect to others and ask for help.

Therefore, their search could only be carried out in secret so that they wouldn't alert the enemy. Moreover, they would retreat decisively before reinforcements arrived.

Right now, they were buying time to see if they could find Shien and Chafne before reinforcements arrived.

Once they passed a certain time, they would probably give up.

That was what Chafne meant when she said to "wait for reinforcements". Even if they did not ask for help, once the other party thought that they had already asked for help and that reinforcements were arriving, they would definitely retreat obediently.

At that time, Shien and Chafne would be out of this predicament.

But …

"Since you said this is the first method, does that mean there's a second method?"

Shien asked.

"That's right." Shafne's eyes flickered. "The second method is much simpler. You just need to completely remove the curse from my body."

Hearing this, Shien was startled. He immediately understood.

"You mean to say that you actually have a way to completely dispel the curse on you?"

Shien realized the hidden meaning in Chafne's words.

As long as the curse on Chafne was dispelled, Shien and Chafne would naturally not have to worry about anything. They could go on a killing spree.

There was no doubt about this.

Unfortunately, the curse on Chafne had accumulated for hundreds of years, and it had only been transferred to her through the Rippling Heart Demon. Even the powerful resistance of the demons had become useless. That was why Chafne had fallen to this state.

Now, however, Chafne was treating the removal of the curse as the second method.

Since that was the case, it proved that there was a way to completely dispel the curse now.

Chafne pursed her lips.

"What?" Shien looked at Chafne's expression and asked, "Is this method difficult to carry out?"

"… It's not difficult." Chafne fell silent for a while, then said softly, "It just depends on whether I'm willing or not."

"What do you mean?" Shien did not understand this time.

Seeing this, Chafine blinked her eyes and finally revealed the method.

"If there's someone who has a very strong connection with me or has an unusual relationship with me, I can use the Rippling Heart Demon's ability to transfer all the curse on my body to that person."

Sean's eyes widened as soon as he said that.

"Your [Rippling Heart Demon] can do such a thing?"

Shien was stunned.

"Why not?" Chafine grinned mischievously. "My [Rippling Heart Demon] uses the mind as a medium. It looks at the memories, trust, weaknesses, and even the degree to which they submit to me to determine how much value they can extract from me. If the connection is strong enough, I can even steal the other party's abilities and strength. Why can't I transfer my own injuries and curses to the other party and have them bear all the damage for me?"

Hearing this, Shien shuddered.

This [Rippling Heart Demon] could even do such a thing?

Didn't that mean that if necessary, Chafne could even have someone else die in her place?

"It's not that simple." Chafne's smile faded and she glanced at Shien, as if she could see through his thoughts. "If I want to be able to replace even their own death, then deep in their hearts, there must be the thought of dying for me. Without that level of surrender, the Rippling Heart Demon can't do this."

This was the limitation of the Rippling Heart Demon. If she wanted to extract more value from the connected target, she needed to have a deeper connection.

And if he wanted to have a deeper connection, he would need to have enough memories, trust, flaws, fall, and even surrender in the other party's heart.

Otherwise, Mi Lu's [Demon Seed] wouldn't be the most versatile Unique Skill.

The reason why Chafnir's Rippling Heart Devil was not as versatile as Mi Lu's Ghost Seed was because there were certain conditions to use it, and there were certain limitations.

Thinking of this, Shien expressed his understanding.

"Then if it's you, there should be many people who can take the curse on your behalf, right?"

That was what Shien believed.

Disregarding everything else, Chafne's subordinates would definitely be willing to give up their lives for her.

Even Gray would not hesitate to take the curse on Chafne's behalf.

With the charm of a succubus, the number of men willing to give up their lives for her would probably line up from the Succubus Territory to the Moon Demon Territory.

Of course, the problem was that Chafne had to be willing.

"Although I'm not interested in those unimportant people, I don't want them to die for me for no reason."

Chafne did not hesitate to express this.

"I don't need them to give up their lives for me."

If she was not interested, then she was not interested. She would not deny her indifference towards those people.

But since she was not interested and did not want anything from them, there was no reason for those people who were completely unrelated to her to give up so much for her.

Chafne admitted that she could not accept this kind of favor.

"You're quite sensible."

Shien understood what Chafne was thinking.

Just like some of the so-called goddesses in his previous world. They clearly had no interest in the bootlickers around them, but when they needed them, they would not hesitate to order them around. When they were useless, they would kick them aside and even use them as a spare tire. That was truly despicable.

Chafne had a terrifying ability like the Rippling Heart Devil. Combined with her boundless charm, there should be many people for her to use, but she was not willing to abuse this ability.

"If I really use this ability without any limits, then I probably won't even have to fear Big Sister Nightfall. I'll even dare to fight the Goddess of Fortune one-on-one."

Chafne's expression was extremely serious.

"But if I do that, my own soul will definitely be riddled with holes and full of openings."

Again, the Rippling Heart Devil ability was a double-edged sword.

If she used it to hurt others' souls, then sooner or later her own soul would be pierced as well.

Chafne firmly believed this, which was why she had her own principles.

Because of this …

"I don't really want to use this method."

Chafne expressed.

Shien did not object.

But he did not agree either.

Because …

"How about you transfer the curse to me?"

Shien suddenly said.

"… …"

Chafne was immediately speechless.
