This time, I won't be the devil.

"I can give you both."

"Unlike the soulless pseudo-creatures created from the remains so far, you will become a true guardian of thunder."

After the foreshadowing was complete, Jabba Walker revealed his true trump card.

"In fact, as early as the moment the dragon scale seal was lifted, you had no way out."

"Because it's impossible for you to return to live on the ground."

Jabba Walker transformed his outstretched hand into a mirror.

"Look at what you look like now."

Noelle looked in the mirror and realized that her pupils were emitting a golden light.

"The golden eyes that never go out are proof that the dragon race has awakened their bloodline but failed to control their own power."

"From a human perspective, you're already a monster..."

Chapter 102 The Devil's Strike (5K)

Noelle was silent.

She was not fooled by Jabbawok's words, but she didn't know how to refute them.

Because she did think about taking Frey for herself and wanting him to stay with her forever.

As for things that could go further, she had also fantasized about it.

But Noelle knew very well that Frey had no such thoughts towards her.

On the night when she confessed her dragon identity, the "drunk" Noelle lay in Frey's arms, breathing steadily.

But she wasn't actually asleep at all.

Perhaps because of the characteristics of the dragon race, although her body will have certain reactions after drinking, she will not get drunk.

Even though she pretended to be drunk, asleep, and defenseless, Frey did not make any move.

Noelle was very happy that Frey accepted her.

But Noelle also understood that Frey only regarded him as a teammate and partner, and in his eyes, he had no charm.

It was precisely to continue playing a valuable role as a teammate that Noelle practiced swordplay so hard.

There was nothing wrong with that. She was already satisfied that she could use her strength to help Frey...at least that was what Noelle convinced herself.

But at this moment, looking into his own golden eyes, Noelle's last excuse was also taken away.

Through the conversation between Frey and Jabberwock just now, Noelle realized that not only did she fail to help, but her unauthorized actions also attracted the corpse dragon, leading to the current desperate situation.

If I continue to stay with Frey like this, I will only cause him trouble.

However, the moment he realized this, Noel actually felt a little moved by Jabberwock's proposal.

Noelle felt disgusted with herself for being like this.

A mixture of conflicting emotions flashed through my mind like lightning.

In the midst of a tangled mess of thoughts, Noelle finally found a pillar of support.

My true wish is to protect the important people.

Even if Jabba Walker could deny her feelings, she would never compromise on this one thing.

Therefore, she would not make the choice to harm Frey.

"I can go with you, but Frey must leave. I will follow him all the way to the exit and keep in touch with him using secret codes."

Noelle's voice was a little weak, but her golden eyes were still staring straight at Jabberwock.

"If Freyr doesn't make it out of the maze safely, I will commit suicide."

This was the solution Noelle came up with, to continue the deterrence on Frey's behalf.

Looking at Noelle's determined eyes, Jabba Walker realized that she was serious.

"Forget it. After being influenced by humans for so long, I don't expect you to change back to your dragon mindset right away."

"I promise you, that man can leave..."

Just then, Frey interrupted her.

"From the moment you started, you've been arbitrarily deciding whether I should stay or go."

"Shouldn't you ask my opinion too?"

Frey looked at Jabba Walker and said in a disappointed tone:

"I thought the mighty Dragon King must have some profound ideas, which is why he has remained silent until now."

"But what she said sounded like a sickly, nagging woman."

"I won't comment on your view on love for now."

"But I'm curious, has Lord Dragon King, who has been sealed for 500 years, succeeded in keeping his loved one by his side?"

Facing Frey's provocation, Jabberwock, having removed his disguise, said contemptuously:

"Don't be so arrogant, human."

"I thought it was fun so I played with you for a while, but I hope you don't misunderstand me."

"In my opinion, you humans are nothing but bugs."

"To me, what you said is just the noisy chirping of insects."

"Or have you changed your mind and are willing to give up your human identity for this girl? If that's the case, I'd be able to look at you with a little more respect."

"My answer hasn't changed. I don't plan to give up being a human being, nor do I plan to lose my freedom," Frey said calmly.

"My poor sister, you understand now, this is the nature of this man."

Frey did not refute Jabberwock's words. He turned to Noelle and asked:

"What are you going to do?"

Frey didn't try to defend himself or try to persuade Noelle to stay. He simply asked for her opinion.

“When I was trapped in the cage of memory just now, I saw some hidden fragments.” Noelle said softly.

"I have decided to become the guardian of the maze, so that my wish can come true."

"Maybe it's just like what Jabba Walker said. This is my fate."

"Frey, just go back to the ground. I'm really happy that you can treat me as a partner."

To allow Frey to escape with peace of mind, Noelle suppressed the urge to cry, forced a smile, and said her goodbyes:

"For these five months, thank you so much..."

"Bye now……"

At this moment, Frey suddenly pinched Noelle's cheek.

"I don't know what strange idea you have, but let me make one thing clear first."

"I will stay with you, neither out of companionship nor out of any willingness to help others."

"Just because I want you to stay with me."

As if to prove his point, Frey licked Noelle's face.

"I won't give up my freedom for you, nor will I ask you to give it up for me."

"If you truly want to become a guardian, I will respect your choice."

"But I don't like the word destiny."

It was precisely to break his fate that Frey gave up his identity as the Demon King.

"Besides, weren't you crying?"

Frey's tongue finally brushed past the corner of Noelle's eye, taking away a tear from her eyes.

Noelle then realized that she had been crying without knowing when, which made her previous act of pretending to be strong seem so childish and ridiculous.

"I won't allow someone I care about to walk towards someone else in tears against their will."

"Also, didn't you say I was your hero?"

Frey looked at Noelle and gave her a confident smile.

"A hero doesn't run away from a battle."

Feeling Noelle's heartbeat, which was even stronger than before, Frey knew that she had gotten rid of Jabberwock's instigation.

"However, if you were awake, I might not be able to use some of my special moves."

After saying that, Frey took out a bottle of Fulida concentrate with a special hypnotic effect from his space ring and handed it to Noelle.

"Get some sleep, I'll take care of that guy."

Noelle no longer hesitated. She drank the potion and fell into a deep sleep.

Seeing this scene, Jabba Walker sighed:

"It was such a touching development, it was like a fairy tale. I almost cried~"

"But what can you do?"

"You said it so nicely, but you wanted to put the girl into a coma because you were afraid she would betray you."

"Your hand holding the knife is about to start to ache, right?"

“It’s a bit sour indeed.”

"But you should be the first one to give up."

"How long can these clones of yours last?"

From a moment ago, the black substance that made up Jabberwock and the black dragon's body behind her was slowly dissipating.

Although the Black Ghosts are indeed a bug, it is obviously impossible for them to continue to move at such a distance from the main body, otherwise Jabberwock would have released them long ago.

Ah Fei only released the ghost when he was about to die, which shows that this ability is limited by time and distance.
