Picked up a Demon King to be a Maid

Chapter 561: Self-hypnosis Story

Snow had thought that Nick wouldnt attack because he was heavily injured, so she would be able to deal with just these small fries and then find a chance to escape! But the sudden attack messed up her plans.

As she felt that familiar magic undulations, Snow knew it was their frequently used black magic, so she immediately retracted her webs to form a defense. A dark purple cocoon with a sturdy exterior was quickly formed to protect that delicate little girl.

There was a large explosion as the thick blood-red beam swallowed the cocoon and knocked everyone in the surroundings over.

After quite a while, the aftershock finally dissipated and the beam disappeared leaving behind a tattered cocoon.

Nick you bastard, how dare you cheat!

Snows angry complaint shot out of the holes in the cocoon.

She was barely able to stop the attack, but the cocoon was completely useless. She just gently reached out to pluck a part of the broken cocoon and the entire cocoon collapsed.

You said you wouldnt personally act, so why didnt you keep to your word?

If you didnt use black magic, I wouldnt have done anything.

Peh! Excuses! It was because I was too strong and you were afraid of me running, thats why you suddenly ambushed me, right!

Yes, youre very strong, so I have to personally act to kill you.

Nick unexpectedly didnt deny it and honestly admitted to it while waving to the others to stop their attack and surround Snow from all sides so that she couldnt escape.

Snow felt awful as she heard the surrounding footsteps. She originally wanted to stir him up so that he would make a mistake and she could find a chance to escape, but he was just focused on killing her and didnt mind her provocations at all.

Damn! You bastard I should have learned some more new defense magic, I cant stop your attack at all.

She was really in trouble. Even when fighting White Night before, she slowly lost her advantage and almost died in the end. Now that it was his boss, the third apostle, there was no way she would win.

Fortunately, he was already injured and couldnt use his full strength and could only rely on the black cores to barely attack. But even so, his power couldnt be underestimated, just that lost attack almost got her, if he attacked again, she was done for!

What should she do? Was she going to die here?

Snow panted and slowly started to panic.

She couldnt beat him and she couldnt escape shes never faced such a strong enemy, and she was also completely duped by his identity. She saw no way out.

But

If there was one chance, then there was only that person!

Hehe, hehe haha, hahahaha!

Knowing that she didnt stand a chance, Snow simply gave up resisting. She put her hands back into her sleeves and stood there defenselessly and then looked up and started laughing.

Hey, damn brat, w-what are you laughing about?

Nick was startled by her abnormal behavior and thought she was trying to pull something. He stopped his second attack and began vigilantly observing her.

But Snow had nothing up her sleeves, she was just laughing.

Its hilarious! Nick, did you really think you could kill me? Dont be foolish!

Snow suppressed her fear and used a confident voice to prepare for her last struggle.

She could only use the empty fort strategy to try and scare Nick!

Her life depended on this!

Snow, you dont have to pretend, I wont fall for you! Just one more attack and Ill immediately kill you!

Oh? Am I pretending? Haha, it seems like you still dont know anything.

Damn brat, w-what are you trying to pull!?

He clearly knew that she was trying to delay by scaring him, but Nick still didnt dare to act rashly. She was a Saintess who knew black magic, which in itself already surpassed his expectations, if she still had something else up her sleeves, then with Nicks prudent character, he wouldnt dare act.

Snow was rejoicing when she saw him hesitating and then continued to ridicule him.

Nick, I admit Im not your opponent but dont forget, theres someone who could easily beat you!

Who?

My brother, Lin Xiao! Nick, what happened when you set a trap to try and kill him? Not only did he destroy your tap but also seriously injured you and you had to rely on dirty tactics to barely keep your life!

Hmph, that brat is indeed strong but, what does this have to do with him? After you die, even if he wants to find me for revenge, I wont be scared! Because because he wouldnt even be able to find me!

Nick sounded confident in the beginning, but he lost more of that as he spoke down, and Snow almost couldnt hold back her laugh.

Puh! So youre not scared because he cant find you Nick, youre quite brave, for a coward!

Damn brat, shut up! Even if you have ten brothers like Lin Xiao, Im still going to kill you today!

Hehe, no need, just one brother like that is enough Nick! Ill tell you honestly! The person whos going to die today isnt me, but you!!!

Stop spouting nonsense, how are you going to kill me with your strength?

I cant but my brother can! Truthfully speaking, I actually already saw through your identity and only pretended to not know to bait you!

Hah? You already knew?

Thats right! My brother has actually been outside the whole time waiting, and hell rush in with just one word of mine and blow you to bits with powerful magic!

Snow clenched her teeth and continued to tell herself that her brother was outside and that he would come to save her. She tried to convince herself to believe in her own lies and then confidently hollered them out!

As long as she could scare the third apostle and make him afraid, then even if her brother doesnt come, she could have a chance to escape!

What? Lin Xiao is outside!? Impossible

Nick was frightened by her threat and immediately looked all over the place, but didnt see anyone.

Could it really be Snows trap?

If Lin Xiao was really nearby, then wouldnt it be over for him!?

But

Nick nervously gulped and suddenly remembered something and then quickly called over a subordinate to ask about something. After getting an answer, he immediately understood everything!

Nick! It isnt too late to beg for mercy! As long as you tell me your plans and hand over the missing holy sword, I can let you keep your life!

Snow didnt know that Nick already saw through her lies as she continued to call out, but those words had no power behind them anymore.

Is that so Snow, will you really let me live?

Nick had a smug expression as he felt the festering wounds on his arm, he should quickly finish the fight to prevent the festering wounds from expanding, but now he was excited as he chatted with Snow.

Teasing the pure Saintess to see her make a fool of herself, this was a precious chance, so he had to enjoy himself before she died.

Hm? W-what are you laughing for?

Noticing his sudden change in attitude and that calm laughter, Snow was startled and realized that her lies were seen through. But even then she had no way out, even if he mocked her, she had to finish this awkward show!

Nick? Do you not believe me? Okay, then let me tell you something actually, my brother already woke up today morning!

Oh? Really? He should have used up a lot of magic power, and he actually woke up that quickly your brother is amazing!

Hmph, then do you know what he went to do after waking up? You wont be able to figure it out!

Hm, not necessarily, let me guess he went to the prison to investigate White Nights death, right?

H-how did you know?

Snow stopped, she originally wanted to make some stuff up to trick him but never expected him to start saying it.

What shocked Snow even more came after

I naturally know he didnt just go to the prison, I know he discovered an important clue and suspected me, so he went to my house.

W-what???

Snow awkwardly opened her mouth as Nick stole her lines.

Nick became more delighted as he saw her shocked expression.

Snow, you dont have to make up stories to trick me, because Lin Xiao wont be able to save you! Because hes already trapped in my house and wont be able to save you!
