Chapter 248: - The Demon's Illusion Exposed



"What is the condition for us to leave the Trial?" Broken asked.

"Meow... I'm so generous... I will allow one of you to leave the Trial. Isn't that an enticing offer?" Flauros continued.

Broken nodded slowly at the explanation.

"Broken, let me take the responsibility. You don't need to sacrifice yourself for me. Take the offer," Alora insisted.

Broken turned to her, gripping her hand tighter. "You know I won't leave you here alone, right?" he said.

"No," Alora replied firmly. "Why should you? Just because you can revive after you die? But I'm not someone who will leave while someone sacrifices for me."

Broken shook his head. "We will stay here, together," he responded.

"No, that's not a good answer. The level of the monsters will keep rising; we won't be able to get through it," Alora argued.

"Are you being pessimistic, Princess?" he asked softly.

"This isn't about pessimism; it's about being realistic. The current monster levels are already very difficult, and we still have another six waves to go," she answered firmly.

"You have a kingdom to protect; they need you," he insisted.

"But a warrior doesn't back down from a challenge, Broken. Please understand my position," she affirmed.

"You said you would trust my decision," he replied.

Alora fell silent, but it was clear she was still determined. "I won't let you die for me."

"I said I would die hundreds of times for you," he reiterated.

"And I won't let you do it for me."

"I will survive, we will survive, and I will claim my reward," Broken asserted once more.

Alora shook her head. "I will command you with my authority."

Broken shook his head, too. "In this situation, you have no authority, Princess. You yourself said that we players aren't the type to bow to authority," he reminded her.

They were both equally stubborn, standing their ground.

"Meow, you don't have much time. This is a one-time offer. Or do you prefer to die together, meow? I warn you, that's not the right choice," Flauros pressed, increasing the tension.

It was another message from Maylock that solidified Broken's decision.

[Maylock: "Trial Domains are usually meant to be tackled by one person, Broken. But you're an anomaly, being able to enter a Trial Domain while someone else is working on it.

I believe this means the Trial could become easier to complete. That's probably why the demon showed up—he's worried the Trial may actually be completed. Try to fight the demon; if he refuses, it might indicate there's a restriction on him.

Yes, my conclusion is, hold on until the end. Don't worry about the demons' level in each wave. Good luck. Me, Elincia, and the others are on our way there."]

Broken turned back to Flauros. "I'm afraid we need to refuse your offer, Mr. Cat Demon."

"We're not done yet, but this gives us hope," Alora replied

They locked eyes, still catching their breath, and then they both broke into small, relieved

laughter, sharing a brief moment of levity amidst the chaos.

"You're the most stubborn person I've ever met!" Alora said firmly. "I hate you."

"That's not a proper way for a princess to speak, is it, Princess?"

"You don't see me as a princess whose words you must follow!" she shot back, her tone

equally firm. "That's your own mistake."

"I don't. But I see you as a princess I must protect!" he replied.

"I should be stronger than this." She said quietly.

"You're strong. Stronger than you think," he said softly. "The battle would be harder if you

weren't you."

[In this heavy moment, Alora slowly realized she could place more trust in Broken. His unwavering dedication had shown her his true intent, and it bolstered her resolve to fight

even harder beside him.]

[Alora feels she can place more trust in you. Her affinity with you has increased to 47%.]

[In the future, she will put even more trust in you and become a reliable ally to you.]

"Thanks," Alora replied.

"We have another five waves to face. Are you ready?"

"I've been ready since the day I was born."

"I love your answer," he said softly.

"You'll need to love me as a person too if you manage to bring me back from this trial," Alora

added.

Broken paused for a moment and then chuckled. "Please don't bring that up now, Princess. I

might lose concentration."

"That should motivate you further, so no complaints. It's a command."

"Aye, Your Highness," he responded with a playful grin.

A notification appeared before them, pulling their attention back to the trial at hand.

[Wave 6 of 10 in the Abyssal Arena will begin shortly. Prepare yourself.]
