Picked Up A Demon King To Be A Maid - Chapter 561: Self-hypnosis Story

Snow had thought that Nick wouldn’t 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!”

Snow’s 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 wouldn’t personally act, so why didn’t you keep to your word?”

“If you didn’t use black magic, I wouldn’t have done anything.”

“Peh! Excuses! It was because I was too strong and you were afraid of me running, that’s why you suddenly ambushed me, right!”

“Yes, you’re very strong, so I have to personally act to kill you.”

Nick unexpectedly didn’t 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 couldn’t 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 didn’t mind her provocations at all.

“Damn! You bastard… I should have learned some more new defense magic, I can’t 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 couldn’t use his full strength and could only rely on the black cores to barely attack. But even so, his power couldn’t 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 couldn’t beat him and she couldn’t escape… she’s 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 didn’t 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.

“It’s hilarious! Nick, did you really think you could kill me? Don’t 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 don’t have to pretend, I won’t fall for you! … Just one more attack and I’ll immediately kill you!”

“Oh? Am I pretending? Haha, it seems like you still don’t 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 didn’t 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 Nick’s prudent character, he wouldn’t dare act.

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

“Nick, I admit I’m not your opponent… but don’t forget, there’s 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 won’t be scared! Because… because he wouldn’t 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 couldn’t hold back her laugh.

“Puh! So you’re not scared because he can’t find you… Nick, you’re quite brave, for a coward!”

“… Damn brat, shut up! Even if you have ten brothers like Lin Xiao, I’m still going to kill you today!”

“Hehe, no need, just one brother like that is enough… Nick! I’ll tell you honestly! The person who’s going to die today isn’t me, but you!!!”

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

“I can’t 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?”

“That’s right! My brother has actually been outside the whole time waiting, and he’ll 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 doesn’t 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 didn’t see anyone.

Could it really be Snow’s trap?

If Lin Xiao was really nearby, then wouldn’t 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 isn’t 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 didn’t 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 won’t be able to figure it out!”

“Hm, not necessarily, let me guess… he went to the prison to investigate White Night’s 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 didn’t 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 don’t have to make up stories to trick me, because Lin Xiao won’t be able to save you! Because he’s already trapped in my house and won’t be able to save you!”
