Nobody knows how to be a villain better than me.

Boom boom!

However, the newly created creatures were no match for these shadow followers from the darkness. The two silver eagles that were hit let out a mournful cry and exploded, scattering into clumps of silver stardust that drifted down with the wind.

Moreover, as Irisviel was distracted, several silver eagles responsible for patrolling in mid-air, having lost their commander, were like headless flies and were quickly shot down one after another by the dense barrage of spell bullets.

Seeing her knights fall one after another, Irisviel's expression changed slightly. She had no choice but to steel herself, raise her right hand, and chant a spell in an attempt to dissolve the monsters emerging from the black mud.

But neither cursed bullets nor alchemical deconstruction had any effect on the non-human entity in front of them.

Even Irisviel's rate of destruction couldn't keep up with their rate of self-repair.

"Hoohoo!"

Several shadow followers, clad in armor and wielding massive black swords, stepped forward with beast-like growls.

At the same time, magicians' spell bullets, archers' arrows, and spearmen's javelins rained down on Irisviel, who was cornered.

Irisviel bit her cherry lips with her silver teeth, resolutely raised her hand, and attempted a final stand in this seemingly unsolvable deadlock.

Whoosh whoosh!

Arrows rained down, spell bullets flew in unison, and a colorful magical tide surged in the air, dangerous yet beautiful.

"boom!"

At the critical moment, the enclosed space surrounded by light-like runes, like a gate struck by a battering ram, saw a spear woven from silver and blue light fly in from the sky. With its unique [Boundary Breaking] attribute, it pierced through the barrier and nailed itself in front of the group of shadow followers.

hum!

In an instant, runes, cuneiform patterns, Ogan script, Hebrew script, and a series of other ancient civilization symbols that had driven historians and magicians to madness and made them willing to spend their entire lives searching for them, transformed into a waterfall of light that flowed and spread in all directions, like cabbages that could be seen everywhere, covering the ground and coloring the sky.

"Its source is light, its power is fire; judgment is with the blade, purification is with fire!"

At the same time, a solemn murmur drifted from somewhere, and various runes covered the ground, forming light-like fissures from which blazing white flames spewed forth.

In an instant, the shadow followers, along with the black mud on the ground, were evaporated, turning into wisps of smoke that drifted away with the wind.

However, with the light curtain woven from silver spears as the boundary, one side is a lava hell, and the other side is a gentle breeze and a setting sun.

Irisviel stared in stunned silence as she looked at the earth cleansed by the single blow and the sky, now bathed in the warm hues of dusk after the barrier was broken.

"The Einzberns' family doesn't have a good habit of acting alone. Where is your Servant?"

It wasn't until she heard a soft murmur in her ear that the silver-haired beauty suddenly realized what was happening. She looked at the faceless figure, dressed in light knight's armor and wearing a blue and white outer robe, with a mixture of surprise and gratitude.

“Saber, she…”

"Squat down!"

Irisviel snapped out of her daze and was about to explain when a thunderous shout rang in her ears.

For some reason, the silver-haired woman felt an instinctive trust and immediately squatted down.

"Dang Dang!"

The moment Irisviel lowered her head, the faceless man at the alley entrance lunged forward, kicking the spear shaft with his leg. Accompanied by a piercing clang of metal on metal, the flying spear deflected a pair of black and white blades that were slashing towards it.

and also!

Samael raised his hand and grabbed the Holy Lance Rungomminiad, which was flying backward. His eyes narrowed slightly, and his vertical pupils stared at the petite chocolate-skinned figure on the roof, opening and closing intermittently.

It was her!

Chapter 161 I didn't, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!

"Hi, another mom..."

On the rooftop, a little girl with long silver-white hair and chocolate skin, wearing a black crop top, over-the-knee boots, and a red cape, smiled and waved to the man and woman meeting in the alley.

Just as rumored, it is beautiful and exquisite, pure and immaculate.

It's so tempting to... give it a good thrashing.

"Another mother? Then where is your real mother?"

Samael pulled the Holy Lance from the ground, shielded Irisviel behind him, looked up at the little girl with chocolate skin on the roof, and smiled with narrowed eyes.

"This is a secret that cannot be told, Father."

However, faced with this tone of coaxing a child, the little girl put her index finger to her lips, playfully blinked her golden pupils, and her eyes sparkled with a mischievous cunning.

At the same time, Irisviel looked down at herself.

Mother?

Then, the silver-haired beauty turned her astonished gaze to the faceless man in front of her, looking completely bewildered.

Father?

A jumble of thoughts rushed through her mind, and Irisviel, standing behind Samael, subconsciously took a closer look at the little girl on the roof.

This means...

"Could you be our little baby?!"

Suddenly, a strange thought popped into the silver-haired beauty's mind, and the answer that came to mind couldn't help but slip out, her beautiful face filled with shock.

Samael, who was standing in front, stumbled and almost fell over, inwardly cursing.

Alice, you can't just make up an accusation like that. Although she may be your daughter in name, I really didn't do it!

You agree, right, Little Black?

Samael leaned against the wall and looked up at the peculiar presence on the roof.

However, at this moment, the chocolate-skinned little girl on the rooftop was first stunned, then nodded seriously, put her hands behind her back, swayed her body slightly, and looked shy.

"Oh, I've been discovered."

Samael, who hadn't even gotten his footing yet, slipped again upon hearing this, and his mouth twitched violently.

Meanwhile, upon hearing the "truth," Irisviel was shocked. She instinctively crossed her arms and created some distance between herself and the figure in front of her.

"Don't be fooled by her, you need to get married to have a baby..."

Seeing that Irisviel, as pure as a blank sheet of paper, believed it, Samael couldn't help but twitch his lips and listlessly explained the common sense.

"Yes! We've only just met, how could we have a baby!"

At this moment, Irisviel, belatedly realizing the situation, suddenly understood and retorted seriously with a tense expression.

However, faced with criticism, the chocolate-skinned little girl...

"Does Father seem very familiar to you?"

Irisviel hesitated for a moment, a strange sense of familiarity she felt for the man in front of her made her nod unconsciously.

"It feels like I've seen it somewhere before?"

That's right!

Driven by her intuition, the silver-haired beauty nodded again.

"And more than once?"

right! That's it!

Having vaguely grasped the truth, Irisviel nodded even more vigorously, a hint of excitement appearing on her pretty face, as if her thoughts had been completely exposed.

Same silver hair...

Same face shape...

Strange skin color...

Golden eyes...

It has the aura of both a heroic spirit and a human being...

They seemed very close, yet harbored a certain malice...

The silver-haired beauty's gaze kept shifting between the chocolate-skinned little girl and the servant in front of her, looking her up and down. The more she looked, the more confused she became, her thoughts a jumbled mess.

"Could it be that you really are..."

"Mother, have you really forgotten? Just a few years ago, Father was recruited by the Einzbern family to fulfill his wish to save humanity. He met you and fell in love with you. But knowing that the price of saving the world was to sacrifice you, he was willing to break his vow and elope with you from Einzbernburg. And on the way of their escape, on a snowy night, you gave birth to me—the fruit of your love..."

As the silver-haired little girl recounted her story, a sweet smile appeared on her face, as if she were reminiscing about a beautiful past.

"But after giving birth to me, you ultimately chose to abandon me, leave your father, and return alone to Einzbernburg to continue fulfilling your so-called mission."

But then, the little girl changed her tone, put on a tearful expression, looked at Irisviel in the alley with red eyes, and let out a childish wail.

"Don't you care about the good times we had as a family of three? Am I really that hateful to you? I'm doing all this just to get you back to me, Mom."

"Yes, I'm sorry, you...I..."

Irisviel looked at the child accusing her of being heartless and felt a pang of inexplicable heartache. She stammered, her thoughts a jumbled mess, and the silver-haired beauty was already somewhat incoherent.

Just as the princess was frowning, struggling to find the right words to address the petite figure before her, the silver-haired little girl, as if by telepathy, spoke earnestly.

"Chloe!"

"what?"

"Chloe von Einzbern, that's the name you gave me, Mom. Remember it!"

"Yes! I won't forget!"

The silver-haired beauty nodded emphatically, clenching her fists in assurance.

"Chloe..."

"mom!"

The mother and daughter, reunited after a long separation, gaze at each other with deep affection.

"..."

Samael, caught in the middle, had his facial muscles twitching violently, and his whole body went numb.

Oh no, Irisviel has been completely fooled.

If Samael hadn't known that he and Kiri had been slacking off all these years and hadn't actually been Einzbern's son-in-law, he almost would have believed the story.

However, with such skillful deception and that devilish talent for fooling people, it's hard to believe that he wasn't responsible for all of this.

Moreover, the Einzbern family's unique silver hair and standard facial features, as well as their half-human, half-heroic aura, are all evidence that simply cannot be explained.

If those tigresses in the parliament heard or saw this, he wouldn't be able to clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

"Come on, Little Black, get down here and let me take a good look at you."

Samael, who had been unjustly blamed, forced a "kind" smile and waved to Chloe on the rooftop.

However, the throbbing veins on the back of the man's hand and the grinding of his teeth under his hood didn't look like a scene of filial piety and family reunion that was about to take place.

Little Black? Black my foot!

When Chloe heard this "affectionate title" bestowed upon her by her "father," her almond-shaped eyes widened and her teeth chattered.

"What, didn't you want to be with Mom and Dad?"

The ancient snake narrowed its eyes and asked in return, its eyes flashing with a ghostly light, and its smile grew even brighter.

"I'm not mentally prepared for a family reunion yet, so I'm not in a hurry."

Feeling the eerie atmosphere that was looming over her, Chloe, like a mouse encountering a cat, shrank back and immediately retreated to the back of the roof.

"Now that we've said goodbye, it's time to say farewell."

As the little girl spoke, she waved her hand guiltily, then seized the opportunity and jumped into the darkness.

Samael glanced at Irisviel, whose magic was depleted, and shook his head helplessly. He could only watch the little devil flee and sigh in despair.

Never mind, safety first.

"That child...we..."

Just as the ancient serpent was feeling regretful, Irisviel's bewildered murmur came from behind.

"I'm not! I didn't! Stop talking nonsense!"

Samael snapped back to reality and immediately turned around to cover Irisviel's lips with a triple denial, attempting to clear his name.

However, just as the man and woman in the alley came into close proximity, a dark figure appeared at the street corner.
