Checking the contents, it stated that the Ferros Guild was wondering why Legend Guild, having collected keys obtained from defeating high-level demons, wasn’t using the weapon created by combining them.
Surprised by the unfamiliar information, Ruelah told Kite.
“Kite, you have keys obtained from defeating demons, right? It says that combining them creates a weapon. Want to check it out?”
“A weapon? How?”
With a puzzled expression, Kite asked while looking at the bag on the screen.
“Most things change when you click on them. Want to press the keys?”
“Which keys should I press?”
“All seven of them.”
Upon Ruelah’s suggestion, Kite started pressing the keys one by one, starting with Vinsenti.
“Oh! When I pressed the purple key obtained from defeating Maria Kuran last, it combined with the previous ones, and a sword appeared.”
Looking at Kite with a surprised expression, Ruelah informed him to click on the newly appeared sword.
“Wow, it’s a rainbow-colored sword.”
Hagen exclaimed in awe as he looked at the splendid sword in Kite’s hand with a surprised expression.
“Are you going to attack Kuran Duke with that?”
Observing the sword that appeared in Kite’s hand, Ruelah checked the lively talk board.
Kite, with the unfamiliar weapon in his hand, furrowed his brow, swinging the sword here and there, but eventually nodded.
“I was worried about the weight being different from the sword I used before, but after swinging it a few times, it seems fine now. Shall I go back to the duke? Is the other guild still attacking?”
Checking the video in response to his question, it seemed that they had also suffered a defeat and were retreating.
“They are like us. They are pulling back for a moment to regroup.”
Upon Ruelah’s words, Kite, nodding as if understanding, shouted, “Let’s go again. Move!”
Everyone headed towards the interior of the duke’s palace with determined expressions.
Ruelah followed her comrades, anxiously checking the direction of the Legend Guild.
They were also attempting to re-enter the palace after regrouping.
As the two guilds were moving at similar speeds, it was now a situation where anxiety arose, and they felt like they were being played with by someone.
“As soon as we enter, I’ll take the duke down to the garden. Attack right behind.”
After Kite gave the order, they entered the inner sanctum.
The duke’s health, which had been reduced to 50%, was now filled up to two-thirds again.
They couldn’t afford to be disappointed, as they didn’t know how many times they would have to repeat this.
Boss raids were a battle of patience and concentration.
The success or failure of the strategy depended on how well the guilds were united and how well each member fulfilled their roles.
Watching Kite taking the duke to the garden, Ruelah took her place within the range of healing, comforting her mind.
As they didn’t know when the fight would end, she reminded herself not to be impatient and not to tire.
If focus was dispersed due to unnecessary restlessness and anxiety, it could put her comrades in danger.
Having only one life, they had to fight their best, so she should concentrate on the current moment and situation.
Because the fight against Maria had been so difficult, Ruelah prepared herself to teleport a few more times for reorganization.
However, once the battle started, the situation unfolded differently than Ruelah’s expectations.
Of course, Kuran Duke’s earthquake attack still had tremendous power. However, comrades who had experienced it once could skillfully evade the flames, so it didn’t injure them as severely as before.
Moreover, the power of the sword created with the keys was tremendous.
Every time Kite attacked with the sword, the duke’s health bar rapidly decreased. Even when receiving a substantial blow, the casting of spells was interrupted, leaving the duke in a dazed state.
They had feared Kuran Duke the most, but thanks to the weapons they had painstakingly crafted with the keys, the duke had become an easier opponent than anything else.
It would have been incredibly difficult if they hadn’t known how to use the sword created with the keys.
Until now, they had thought that the Legend Guild and their speed were similar, but it was not the case at all.
Despite using the sword created with the keys, they proceeded with the strategy at a speed similar to theirs. Therefore, now that they also held a sword created with the keys, the difference in speed was naturally inevitable.
“This seems to be the final earthquake. Watch out!”
With Kite’s command, the ground cracked open, and flames erupted.
Then, Kuran Duke collapsed onto the floor he had split, making a thud sound.
Male lead Asks for a Divorce Every Day
It’s not often you come across a plot like this in the female-dominant genre — make sure to check it out!
This is a novel I’m planning to reread as well.
The male lead is strong, skilled in martial arts, and not the usual fragile type you often see in matriarchal novels.
Meanwhile, the female lead is a scientist—rational and logical. Even when she falls for the male lead, she doesn’t let her emotions cloud her decisions.
If you push through the first few chapters, you’ll gradually find the story really intriguing.
It has a mix of mystery, detective elements, and romance.
The author’s writing style is like crafting a puzzle—except they deliberately leave out a few pieces, making it hard to predict what happens next, yet keeping you hooked.
In the end, everything will come together and be explained.
One-sentence summary: Wife, stop playing with beakers and look at me!
In a laboratory accident, research scientist Zhu Wansheng accidentally travels to a matriarchal world. The original owner of the body is an eighteen-year-old only daughter of a wealthy rouge merchant, already married with a handsome young man.
Zhu Wansheng grins: Nice! She always said she was heaven’s favorite granddaughter. After a life of toil in her previous life, she can enjoy blessings in this one.
However, her joy lasts no more than three seconds as bad news arrives: the original owner’s family is about to go bankrupt, and her husband wants a divorce.
Even worse, she’s stuck with a research system full of restrictions.
Zhu Wansheng: ? Is this the destiny of a research dog?
——
Faced with this mess, Zhu Wansheng pours herself a bowl of wine to drown her sorrows. In her drunken haze, her husband arrives.
His figure is imposing, holding a long sword, with a dignified air that captivates Zhu Wansheng.
Gu Yingqing, however, looks at the alcohol-reeking Zhu Wansheng with undisguised disgust and coldly asks, “Divorce or not?” The intoxicated Zhu Wansheng mumbles vaguely, “I think… it’s not… it’s not… impossible!”
——
The next day, after sobering up, Zhu Wansheng is full of energy, rolling up her sleeves ready to make a big move. As for yesterday? She has no memory of it.
Zhu Wansheng is ambitious; a research dog fears nothing!
Upgrading rouge, extracting fragrances, producing perfumes, researching lipsticks… all shall bow to the power of modern technology!
The original owner’s dying rouge shop is revitalized. Her mother is pleased and with a wave of her hand, passes on the family business to her. As she takes control and her experimental results gain popularity, it’s the pinnacle of her life…
——
But there are always those who can’t stand to see her doing well. Jealousy, scheming, assassination attempts – they want nothing less than her life.
The person who has always kept his distance from her suddenly holds her tightly in his arms, eyes full of concern.
She is unharmed, but he falls into a pool of blood…
Zhu Wansheng feels guilty, “I can grant you one wish.”
Gu Yingqing tentatively circles his arms around her, carefully resting his head in the crook of her neck, pleading softly, “I regret it. Can we not divorce?”
Zhu Wansheng: ? When did I agree to a divorce?
[Small Theater]
The newly developed rouge is beautifully packaged, and Zhu Wansheng is eager to try it.
Gu Yingqing suddenly appears: “My lady, may I apply it for you?”
Cool fingertips lightly brush her lips. His Adam’s apple bobs as he leans in for a light bite.
Zhu Wansheng: ?
Gu Yingqing: It smells so good, I wanted to taste it…
On a warm spring day, Zhu Wansheng tries a new perfume: “Spring Night.” Gu Yingqing corners her against a wall.
Warm breath lingers on her neck.
“My lady, from now on, may I test the fragrances for you?”
