A flame that will never extinguish blazed from his sword. Just its mere presence subdued the evil aura. The White Rose Woman, in response, spread more red demonic energy around and declared,
“Your flames cannot stop me. I am always beside you! I am hidden in your deeds! Always!”
[The Trait :: ‘One Who Understands Both Good and Evil’ activates!] [Holy power gathers around you.]Golden holy power sparkled and converged around him, creating a scene as beautiful as fireflies in the dark night.
“In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit…….”
Gang I-Hyun took out a crucifix necklace and made the sign of the cross over his chest. The wound on his palm had completely healed.
“Amen!”
[Priest’s basic skill :: Formula Trinitaria (Trinity Formula)]“Ah!!!”
Whoosh! The red demonic energy filling the stage began to disappear, starting from around Gang I-Hyun. The blood-red vines, the transformed monsters, all returned to their original white color, and the clawed beasts vanished.
What was left were the White Rose Woman and the weakened demon monsters, surrounded by a shimmering golden holy power.
No monster could easily cover this extent of holy power with evil magic. The balance of power had clearly shifted in favor of Gang I-Hyun. With just one basic skill, the Trinity Formula!
“Now then…….”
Gang I-Hyun positioned himself with his flaming sword. His blue eyes sparkled, like a child eager to earn the approval of a beloved teacher.
“Shall we begin!”
“Ugh, really, what a weirdo latching onto me…”
[Even though he’s annoying, he doesn’t seem like a bad guy, the Lord of Chaos casually remarks.]
Having immediately opened a dimensional rift to move inside the castle, Lude brushed off his arm and sighed.
‘What an annoying golden retriever-like young master clinging onto me…’
Some weird guy suddenly wanting to assist him… He couldn’t fathom his intentions or situation.
[But judging by your reaction, he seems to be your type, the Lord of Chaos jests with a shrug.]“No, that guy is too healthy for my taste. I prefer someone more frail, someone who seems like they’d burst into tears with just a touch…”
As Lude dismissively swiped away the indirect messages commenting on his taste, he walked through the eerie corridor.
“Hmm, anyway.”
Lude wiped off the monster’s blood on his face with his sleeve and flicked the blood off his black half-scissors.
Armored monsters lay bleeding and the corridor was nearly destroyed. Amidst this chaos, Lude, emanating dark psychic energy, surveyed the pile of corpses with cold eyes.
“Is everything finished here?”
[It seems there are no surviving monsters around here, the Lord of Chaos nods.]“Anyway, it’s all so troublesome… I have to keep cleaning these scissors. They’ll rust.”
Lude sighed while cleaning his scissors. Just entering here had attracted too much attention. The monsters near the boss room seemed to be of a higher grade.
He flicked his fingers, and the items spewed out by the monsters automatically stored in his inventory.
“Basic skills make them drop like flies… showing off for nothing.”
[That’s because you’re ranked number one, the Lord of Chaos shakes his head.]Normally, it was impossible for a psychic class to lead the front lines. Psychics were mostly supporters in a team.
Only Lude, with his explosive psychic powers controlled with extreme precision, was the world’s sole solo-acting psychic.
“But why didn’t Gang I-Hyun get affected by the Honey Trap? It should charm everyone regardless of gender. He had no reaction at all. Was I really not his type?”
Though there were differences in taste, everyone usually gets somewhat swayed by absolute beauty, which is why Honey Trap was called a hit-or-miss skill.
But Gang I-Hyun had shown no reaction to it. Lude looked questioningly at the Lord of Chaos, who brought up a black indirect message.
[Some people are completely immune to its effects, the Lord of Chaos wiggles his fingers.]“Really? Like what?”
[Wait a moment, the Lord of Chaos begins crafting a presentation-like X-Point.]An image crafted by the Lord of Chaos appeared before Lude. A blue otter character floated on a background with basic script font densely filled in.
“…You really can’t design at all.”
Lude clicked his tongue at the horrendous image that reminded him of a group project disaster. The Lord of Chaos rapidly sent crying emoticons. Ignoring the noisy messages, Lude finally read the content.
“Honey Trap’s Ineffective Targets:
People who are not even remotely your type (including devout clerics!)
People who are already head over heels for you, making Honey Trap redundant
People who don’t care about external appearances in liking someone.”
“That guy is definitely the first type. No wonder it was completely useless… I’ll keep that in mind for the future. Thanks.”
[It doesn’t seem like he’s precisely that type, the Lord of Chaos shrugs.]“Anyway, we’re almost there.”
Overcoming a mountain of monster corpses, Lude deeply exhaled. The place where the boss monster resided.
The innermost part of this mansion, the high priest’s bedroom.
“Why the boss monster is a high priest but the map isn’t a temple but a mansion is puzzling…”
After all, gates are inherently unpredictable. Lude put his strength into opening the massive door. With a creaking sound of rusty hinges, the white door slowly opened.
[4th Grade Gate Boss Monster :: Encounter with the White Fate’s High Priest!]The boss monster’s room gradually opened. Stepping inside, Lude widened his eyes in surprise.
“…What is this?”
Male lead fell into her trap — and shattered when she walked away
This is also on my reread list!
This one is a slow burn, but when it burns, it burns hard.
Definitely worth a read, y’all!
The story follows a thousand-year-old seductive spirit who, on a bet, sets out to charm the male lead—a once-promising but unfortunate cultivator.
But just when she succeeds in making him fall for her, she heartlessly leaves, driving him to madness.
Determined to find her at all costs, he captures her, keeping her by his side no matter what, even if she hates him.
I love this kind of trope—I enjoy watching the male lead suffer in agony.
The ending drags a bit with unnecessary filler, but that’s fine.
As long as I enjoy the beginning, I’m good.
