Shiori breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Mo Li appear. "I guess I won't have to make an appearance now."

To everyone's surprise, Kotori bit her lollipop into pieces, looked at Shiori with a disappointed expression, and said loudly:

"Never mind, Shiori, you go and attack too! Take the spirits back from the Demon King!"

"Eh?! No way?!"

Just as Shiori was about to refuse, Kotori teleported her into the school building.

With a long face, Shiori wondered whether having a younger sister was a blessing or a curse. Despite these thoughts, she still followed Kotori's instructions and headed towards Tohka's direction.

At this moment, Tohka was looking at Mo Li not far away with a wary expression, her eyes full of fear.

The scene of their last battle was still fresh in Tohka's mind; the greatsword was pointed directly at Mo Li, and she repeated the same words from yesterday:

"Are you here to kill me too?"

"That same expression again. Can't you be a little happier? You're always so suspicious. Aren't you tired of living like this?"

"W-what? What nonsense are you spouting?!"

With a casual wave of her hand, Tohka unleashed a powerful slash towards Mo Li.

Mo Li looked at the slash coming towards him, sensed its trajectory, smiled slightly, and chose not to make a move.

Mo Li realized that the shockwave wasn't aimed at her at all, so it seemed she didn't want to fight.

In that case, let's see if our verbal skills can match those of the protagonist.

"After the last battle, you should know my strength, right? Do you still want to fight?"

"Stop! Who are you?"

"Demon King Mo Li is currently searching for his own followers!"

"Demon King? Stop lying! You have the same goal as those humans, don't you? To... kill me!"

Tohka did not lower her guard; instead, another energy ball appeared in her hand.

Upon hearing this, Mo Li couldn't help but laugh out loud, realizing that he was being mistaken for someone like AST.

"why are you laughing?"

"Hmph, kill you? I have no such intention, and if you wish, I can send all those who have harmed you to hell!"

"You're lying. You're in cahoots with the Mechanical Mechs, aren't you? You're just making up lies to kill me."

Every time Tohka appears in the world, she is attacked by members of AST. She has never encountered any other humans, so she naturally assumes that everyone wants to kill her.

In addition, since Mo Li resorted to violence without warning last time, people began to regard him as being in cahoots with the AST members.

Seeing this, Mo Li felt it necessary to explain to the naive elf before him:

"First of all, I am not with that group you mentioned. Secondly, I am not here to kill you. Finally, I can help you escape the predicament of being hunted down and let you live freely here."

Upon hearing Mo Li's last words, Tohka's expression changed instantly. She sheathed her greatsword, turned around, and her mood was extremely complicated.

Freedom! Life!

These two seemingly ordinary words were, in Tohka's eyes, so unattainable.

Chapter 48 The Interrupted Contract Ceremony

"I remember your name is Mo Li, right? Can you really let me live freely here?"

Mo Li raised an eyebrow. It seemed that what he had just said had hit the nail on the head. As long as he was willing to continue talking, there was still hope.

"Of course!"

Mo Li said with certainty, little did he know that this was only the beginning of the problem.

"really?"

"real!"

"Is it really true?"

"It's really true!"

"Is the real transit point really the real 3-air paint (two) 9 yo-yi?"

"It's really true!"

This is ridiculous! Is this guy a reincarnated parrot? Why is he asking so many questions? I guess I need to change my approach.

"Really, really..."

"STOP! No need to ask any further, or the readers will accuse me of padding the word count (crossed out). My answer to you has always been the same: yes!"

It seemed that Mo Li's words moved Tohka, and she didn't continue asking questions, but instead lowered her head.

Tohka kept stroking her hair, trying to suppress the joy in her heart, but she couldn't stop smiling. So she turned around and said proudly:

"Hmph, who would be fooled by something like that, you idiot!"

"Um, could you please tone down your smile a bit before saying that?"

"Urusai, but, well, although I don't know what your scheme is, this is the first time I've met someone who wants to have a serious conversation with me. In order to obtain information about this world, I'll use you."

After Tohka finished speaking, she nodded vigorously to increase her credibility.

But in Mo Li's view, it was less about agreeing with himself and more about persuading Tohka's heart.

Suddenly, a chill ran down Mo Li's spine, and she felt a sudden panic, as if she were deceiving an innocent child.

This is merely to subdue the followers, this is merely to subdue the followers...

After silently repeating it to herself a few times, Mo Li looked at Shi Xiang again, but the sadness in her eyes was gone.

"By the way, I haven't asked your name yet. I can't just keep calling you Princess."

"A name? I don't have one, but if we're talking to someone, then we'll need one, Mo Li. What would you like to call me?"

"Tohka, Yatogami Tohka! How about it?"

Mo Li naturally read out the name that originally belonged to her: Yatogami Tohka.

"Shi... Xiang, Shi Xiang, it's not bad!"

Tohka's face was beaming with joy, like a newborn child receiving its own name.

She silently repeated her name several times, as if trying to etch it into her heart.

"Mo Li, Shi Xiang, these are my names, Shi Xiang, Shi Xiang!"

"Consider this a small perk for your family in advance. You should know that I will bring you ten times more happiness than this."

"Family members? What do you mean? Also, you said you'd let me live freely here, what exactly do I have to do?"

Finally, we're back to the main topic. Mo Li couldn't help but sigh. It's been so difficult. Next, as long as Shi Xiang is bound to him through a contract, all the problems will be solved.

"It's very simple. As long as we sign a contract, your power and spiritual energy will increase significantly, and controlling spiritual waves will be a piece of cake. Similarly, it will not cause spatial quakes."

"Hmm...it seems complicated, but I trust Mo Li!"

Seeing that Shi Xiang trusted him so easily, Mo Li couldn't help but worry about her future. After all, not everyone in this world is worthy of her trust.

"You don't need to do anything next, just wait quietly for the contract to be completed!"

Tohka nodded vigorously, closed her eyes, and sat on the ground, occasionally stealing glances at Mo Li's movements.

Mo Li was both amused and exasperated by Shi Xiang's antics; it wasn't anything shameful.

Mo Li then began to release his power towards Tohka, and a six-pointed star-shaped contract array emerged from beneath Tohka's feet.

The Demon King's mark began to appear gradually, but the contract ritual was interrupted the next moment.

A missile landed right next to the two of them, and the loud roar forced Mo Li to stop what he was doing.

What followed was a barrage of bullets aimed at Tohka, but they were all blocked by the protective shield.

The members of AST have received orders to launch an attack on the Princess.

Little did they know, their actions had thoroughly enraged Mo Li, and it seemed that someone was destined to die here today.

"Mo Li, run away quickly. If you stay with me, you will also be attacked by your own people."

"Hmph, hahahaha, interesting. Tohka, you just stay here and watch how I crush those troublesome bugs into dust!"

"Mo Li, you..."

Before Tohka could say anything more, Mo Li's golden eyes lit up, and the Blade of Rebellion appeared in his hand.

Everyone on the Fraxinus warship was sweating with anxiety at the sight.

Kotori could tell that Moli was in a state of extreme anger. Fortunately, Shiori hadn't interrupted the ritual earlier, otherwise, there was a high chance she wouldn't have been able to see her sister again.

"Commander, what should we do? It seems like Mo Li is about to get serious!"

"How would I know? Let's keep observing. Anyway, AST brought this on themselves, so it's good to let them suffer a bit."

"But Shiori is still down there. Should we teleport him up?"

"No need. While Mo Li is fighting AST, let Shiori take the princess away first!"

Kotori quickly contacted Shiori, who was hiding behind the ruins, and issued the mission details.

Upon hearing that she was to be asked to take Tohka away, Shiori immediately shook her head and said:

"Don't joke around, how could I possibly take her away in this situation?"

"Big sister, just do as we say. Don't worry, even if you die, you can always start over."

Kotori said this as if it were a joke, but in Shiori's eyes, she was gambling with her own life.

But out of trust in Kotori, Shiori cautiously approached.

After making sure that Mo Li hadn't discovered her location, Shiori peeked out and looked in Mo Li's direction, while thinking to herself how she could take Tohka away.

Meanwhile, the members of AST, unaware of the impending disaster, continued to fire wildly at Tohka.

Because Mo Li's position was blocked by the rocks, the members of AST did not discover Mo Li's presence.

"Captain, is this really okay?"

"The permission to force her out has been granted, and the rest of the Restoration Force should be taken care of."

"But why do I keep having this bad feeling?"

"Stop overthinking, keep attacking until you force the princess out of the school building!"

Although Ryoko Kusakabe had the same premonition, she still strictly carried out orders out of trust in her superiors.

Soon, the magazine in the gun was emptied, and after replacing it with a new one, he continued to shoot at Tohka.

Normally, the princess would have already come out of the school building by now, and wouldn't have stayed still and allowed them to shoot at her.

Origami Tobiichi had the same question in her mind. She turned on the magnifying glass and looked in Tohka's direction.

Tohka stopped Moli, who was trying to move forward, because she didn't want to see Moli fighting to the death with his compatriots.

Mo Li understood Shi Xiang's thoughts and gently stroked her head.

Tohka raised her head and looked at Mo Li, whose face was full of anger, feeling guilty towards him.

This was the first time she had ever met someone willing to draw their sword for her!

Chapter 49 The Demon King's Wrath, Fratricide

Mo Li pulled Shi Xiang, who was blocking his way, behind him. Anyone who dared to disrupt the contract ritual would have to pay the price.

With one step, Mo Li appeared before the members of AST.

Seeing that there were civilians present, Ryoko Kusakabe immediately ordered everyone to stop to prevent accidental injury.

Upon seeing the person's true face, Origami Tobiichi couldn't help but tremble, as if recalling the aura of death she had felt on the rooftop.

"Is it him? The one who fought the princess last time? Is he here to fight again this time?"

"Hmph, everyone be careful. Although this person is not an elf, he is no less dangerous than one!"

Ryoko Kusakabe looked at Mo Li warily; she hadn't forgotten how Mo Li had treated AST last time.

Her subordinate, Origami Tobiichi, almost died at Mo Li's hands, so she didn't have a good impression of Mo Li.

A slash tore through the sky, and Kusakabe Ryoko quickly activated her Random Domain to block the attack.

At the same time, Liao Zi's eyes immediately turned resentful, and she flew over to yell angrily:
