Riel felt creeped out when he saw Howard.

This was because a strong evil aura that could only come from monsters was felt from Howard’s body.

Riel tried to lean back while sitting, but his back was right behind him, against the cave wall.

There was no room to escape.

Howard stroked Riel’s cheek.

His hands were eerily cold, like those of a dead person.

“I was just waiting to be alone with Liel and Youngae. There were too many other people at the Northmunster Research Base, so I couldn’t approach Youngae. Fortunately, Youngae came alone to the forest to get firewood, so we were finally alone together.”

Howard’s tone was calm.

But his purple eyes seemed to burn hot with obsession for Riel.

“How did you get here? Howard Young-sik was definitely suspended from school for two months.”

Howard frowned at Riel’s words.

“It is a terrible torture for me not to be able to see Youngae for two months. Youngae is the moonlight that illuminates the dark night and the spring of life that I desperately seek in the desert. Do you understand?”

But contrary to Howard’s wishes, Riel slapped Howard’s hand away.

“Please don’t do this. To be honest, it’s burdensome. I don’t have any feelings for Howard Young-shik.”

“Don’t lie. I know everything. Liel Young-ae likes me too. You don’t have to be embarrassed.”

Howard grabbed Riel’s wrist tightly.

“Let go. I’ve never thought of Howard Youngsik as anything more than a friend, and I have no intention of being one anymore.”

It was the coldest tone of voice Howard had ever heard from Riel.

“Young-ae! Why on earth are you telling such lies! Do you want this Howard to die?”

Howard suddenly screamed.

“Howard Youngsik, I don’t know how you can say such shameless things after betraying me. How have you been acting like a friend all this time and seeing me? Honestly, it’s creepy.”

Howard tightened his grip on Riel’s wrist.

“Aah!”

Riel screamed in pain.

“Riel Youngae. It’s all a misunderstanding. I can explain everything.”

“Please let go of my hand. What kind of misunderstanding is this?”

Howard loosened his grip on Liel Youngae a little.

“It’s all Chris’s doing. Chris set a trap and framed me as a shameless person. If you think about it a little, you’ll understand. There’s no way I, the eldest son of the prestigious Beaufort Baron family and the third-ranked Academy Award winner, would do something so shameless with Riel Youngae’s gym clothes. Think about it with common sense.”

In the past, Riel would have been fooled by Howard’s smooth lies. However, after seeing and experiencing a series of events with her own eyes, Howard’s blatant lies became clearer and more detestable.

“Don’t say that. Are you trying to shift the blame to Chris Young-sik and now trying to frame him?”

“Who do you trust now! Do you really trust that Chris? He’s the guy who stalked Liel Young-ae for 3 months since she entered school! Howard is the one who protected Young-ae from Chris’s hands! I’m your knight! And yet you’re going to take Chris’s side!”

Howard groaned with a look of indignation on his face.

But Riel just shook his head firmly.

“It’s true that Chris Youngsik did bad things in the past. But Chris Youngsik has definitely changed these days. If you ask me who I trust more now, I trust Chris Youngsik.”

Riel’s words seemed to break a dam inside Howard.

What came pouring out after the dam broke was Howard’s pure anger and hatred.

“Riel, you better think carefully. There’s only the two of us here right now…!”

Howard growled like a wolf.

“Please don’t do this. Howard Young-shik. Don’t disappoint me anymore. I trusted Howard Young-shik… .”

Howard roughly took off Riel’s winter coat.

“Riel, no matter what you say, you’re mine! This Howard Mann woman! Rather than let Chris steal you away… I’ll take your first here!”

“Howard Youngsik, please stop. Please… .”

Riel’s voice trembled and her eyes were moist with tears.

But Howard ignored Riel’s pleas and focused on taking off Riel’s clothes.

Although Riel was an academy cadet, her occupation was High Sister.

It was a high-ranking profession in the monk class.

Although he could use recovery magic and various high-power buff magic, his physical strength was the lowest among all combat classes.

It was impossible for her to stop Howard, who had a high-ranking warrior class, by force.

In the end, Riel was left shivering in her underwear in Howard’s hands.

Riel’s winter clothes and underwear were all taken off, leaving her wearing only a bra and panties, revealing her white skin like jade.

Riel’s face was as red as a strawberry with shame.

“Riel. Tonight we become one. And you will leave the Academy with me and spend the rest of your lives together.”

Howard’s heart swelled fiercely.

When Howard grabbed Riel and tried to force her legs apart,

Ray’s horn, which protruded like a yellow flash, struck Howard in the back.

“Kkaaah!”

Howard howled in pain as two of Ray’s horns struck him directly in the back.

“You beast of a man! Chris and I will never forgive someone like you!”

Ray kicked Howard in the gut without mercy.

Chris and his group entered the spruce forest.

The Yeti searched through the spruce forest and easily found a single footprint.

“This shoe size is a woman’s shoe. It’s likely to be Riel Youngae’s shoe print.”

Lisa said with a hopeful expression.

“Let’s follow the footprints.”

At Chris’s suggestion, Yeti took the lead and went into the forest to find shoeprints.

Not long after,

“There are traces of trees being cut down for firewood. Yeong-ae came to this forest to find trees to use as firewood, so these must be Yeong-ae’s traces.”

Lisa seemed much calmer now, as if she had found Lisa.

“Riel Youngae might have tried to spend the night in a cave. The forest was so complex that she probably judged it dangerous to move around at night.”

It was Lily’s reasoning.

Chris nodded too.

“Lily is right. Let’s look around to see if there’s a cave big enough for a person to stay overnight!”

-Woohoo, woohoo!

Then the Yeti beat his chest as if he wanted to say something.

“What is it, Yeti? Tell me.”

-Woo-hoo-hoo!

Yeti explained something to Ray.

“What did Yeti say?”

“It just so happens that there is a cave around here that people can enter.”

“Really? Let’s start there first. Liel Young-ae probably didn’t go that far either.”

Chris thought it was most likely that Riel was in that cave.

It seemed like other people were thinking the same thing, so they decided to follow the Yeti into a nearby cave.

I walked a long way after the Yeti.

-Gyaaaah!

A piercing female scream was heard.

“Ah, it’s the girl’s scream!”

Lisa looked around in confusion.

-Wow!

The entrance to the cave was visible where the Yeti had pointed with his hand.

Inside the cave, it seemed as if Riel Youngae was in some great danger.

‘Could it be that we encountered a monster in the cave?’

I was worried about Christ Riel.

Chris thought.

It was determined that Ray, a summoned creature, could use his magical powers to move several times faster than a normal human.

“Ray! Fly and go fast!”

“Okay!”

Raydo understood Chris’s words and materialized the two wings that had been sealed.

Taat!

Ray flapped his dragon’s wings and quickly headed towards the cave.

Ray disappeared into the cave in the blink of an eye.

“Let’s hurry too!”

Chris and his group also ran towards the cave at full speed.

Soon after, Chris and his group also arrived inside the cave.

Boom boom boom!

-Ugh!

The sound of fighting was heard from deep within the cave, followed by the screams of a man.

‘What’s going on?’

Chris quickened his pace.

Deep in the cave.

Inside, Liel Youngae was seen crouching and shivering, her clothes half-off, revealing her white flesh.

Ray was standing in front of him as if guarding him, and on the other side, a man was seen lying down and holding his waist.

“Howard… ?”

An unexpected person appeared.

Howard Beaufort.

He was a man who had fallen into the abyss after falling for his own trick while trying to trap Chris a while ago.

“Howard, why are you here?”

Howard would have definitely been suspended for two months.

“Chris… .”

There was a chilling hatred in Howard’s voice.

Now that I think about it, Howard’s appearance was unusual.

In the past, he had the appearance of a somewhat silly nobleman.

But now he gave off the feeling of a demon driven mad by rage.

“Chris… I can’t forgive you… !”

Howard growled lowly.

At the same time,

Black aura emanated from Howard’s body.

“Howard?!”

Howard’s body began to deform and bulge.

The skin color changed to a dark purple and the skin became hard with hardened keratin.

Two horns sprouted from its forehead and its fangs grew longer.

The eyes were transformed into something creepy, like those of a goat.

Howard’s appearance was that of the devil himself.
