Arecia's expression remained indifferent; her imposing manner had little effect on her.
Solomon raised his right hand high, holding a black longsword. With the blessing of divine power, it manifested into a huge demonic blade and slammed down towards Arecia's location.
This time, Arecia didn't take the blow head-on. Instead, she seized the opportunity, dodging to the side. Her figure became a blur, and the holy sword in her hand transformed into a flowing, dazzling silver light, slashing towards Solomon's neck.
Roya had no opinion on Arecia's ability to dodge Solomon's ultimate attack.
This move is just like a child with a fruit knife, yelling and charging at the enemy. Although being knocked down will definitely mean certain death, it is very easy to dodge if you pay a little attention.
The black knight's longsword struck the ground, instantly destroying the tiles of what was known as the Demon King's Palace, along with the soil beneath it. A terrifying and violent force emanated from the ground, shaking almost the entire Demon King's castle.
Feeling the power of this sword strike, Roya clicked his tongue in amazement. Even with Dragon Blood and Berserk mode activated, he couldn't say he could completely withstand the opponent's sword strike.
If Arecia chooses to fight head-on, she will likely lose the battle completely because of this sword strike.
But Arecia easily dodged this move.
Then, the cold steel sword transformed into a whistling wind, slashing directly at Solomon's neck.
"—Ruthless Steel Queen, Holy Sword that slays demons and monsters!—Unleash the light of retribution and vanquish my enemies!"
A dazzling light burst forth, and a terrifying aura erupted from Arecia like a tornado, spreading outwards in all directions.
The magnificent steel sword slashed through the demon king's neck, severing the veins, and black blood splattered on the ground and the ornate sword.
Solomon was unable to react in time due to the pre-swing of his sword. By the time he reacted, Solomon's neck had been severed and his head had fallen to the ground.
Even with his head severed, Solomon still possessed the ability to fight. Enraged by losing his head, Solomon let out a beast-like roar from his head lying on the ground. His right arm, now without a head, became exceptionally ferocious and terrifying, and his entire being exuded an extremely dangerous aura.
However, Arecia did not give Solomon the chance to unleash his full power. Reality is not a novel; it doesn't give others time to build up their ultimate attack.
Arecia swiftly pierced Solomon's torso with the Demon-Slaying Holy Sword. A divine aura emanated from him, and a dazzling light rose. The dark mist surrounding Solomon was enveloped by the divine light and then devoured by the Holy Sword.
The scene ended there, but Roya wanted to keep watching.
But Roya had regained consciousness and was kicked out of the dream once again.
Opening his eyes, Luo Ya was greeted by the familiar ceiling, and he felt a pang of emotion.
Did Arecia really succeed in killing the Demon King? Recalling the scenes from before, Roya had a bad feeling.
As he was feeling sentimental, a soft touch made Luo Ya feel a little itchy.
Lifting the blanket revealed a girl who was naked except for black knee-high socks.
Upon seeing Roya awake, Esther moved closer to him, her cold eyes reflecting Roya's image, and called out in a chilling voice, "Master, you're awake?"
The girl's cold gaze was like a cool spring in summer, and the slight chill made Luo Ya's last trace of drowsiness disappear completely.
Roya didn't say anything like, "Why are you here again?" Looking at Esther's indifferent expression, Roya felt a little emotional.
Esther's face overlapped with the Esther in the dream. Roya reached out and stroked Esther's soft silver hair, which fell to her waist, covering the necessary parts.
Esther tilted her head. She had expected Roja to be shy or angry, but she hadn't expected him to be so calm.
Feeling the hand stroking her head, Esther cautiously asked, "Master, are you finally going to make a move against me?"
The hand that was stroking Esther's forehead paused slightly, then Roya's outstretched hand turned into a fist and smashed into Esther's head.
As a steel spirit, Esther is not afraid of being damaged, so Roya can smash her without worry.
Esther covered her head, her tone still somewhat indifferent, and said, "It hurts."
Roya sighed, picked up Esther, and placed her aside. If Alice had seen Esther's posture just now, who knows what kind of conflict would have arisen.
Roya got up, picked up the short shirt that was placed to the side, and put it on. During this time, Esther stood aside and stared at Roya.
Roya couldn't stand Esther's direct gaze, and after a moment's thought, he prepared to probe indirectly.
So Roya asked, "I heard that you are the Holy Sword that defeated the Demon King, Esther."
When the past was brought up, Esther's brows furrowed on her usually aloof face. The girl seemed unwilling to recall the past, but since Roja had asked, Esther still answered, "Yes."
After uttering just those two words, the girl never spoke again.
Esther didn't want to say more, so Roya didn't ask any further. In any case, Roya would eventually find out the answer from his dream and see Esther's past.
Without dwelling on that question, Roya remembered another crucial one. After a moment's thought, Roya asked curiously, "Estelle, what is your ability?"
Esther was silent for a moment before speaking: "Guardian of Steel".
Then the information about the Steel Guard appeared in Roya's mind.
The so-called Steel Protection grants the user a body as strong as steel, making the spirit master indestructible.
Of course, this is only part of Esther's abilities.
Estelle's most unique ability is to remove curses and she possesses the highest level of magic resistance.
As a weapon, it also belongs to the highest category.
After processing the information in his mind, Roya had already dressed himself up and looked quite presentable. He smiled at the blond handsome man in the mirror and was very satisfied.
This was a handsome face that would dazzle anyone who saw it, and the young man was always very confident in his appearance.
So, that's all that's left.
They turned their gaze to Esther, who seemed a little down.
Needless to say, the questions Roya just asked will definitely make Esther think of something bad, and most likely it's about the affair between Arecia and Esther.
Looking around the room, I saw a black and white student uniform on the side. It was a smaller size of a girl's uniform, which belonged to Esther.
Picking up the clothes, Roya walked up to Esther and grinned mischievously, saying, "Do you want me to help you get dressed?"
Esther emerged from her reverie, looked at the boy before her, and nodded without the slightest embarrassment.
Now it was Roya's turn to feel helpless.
I originally wanted to see the other person panic and be flustered to satisfy my perverse sense of humor, but the other person was able to nod without any expression.
This put Roya in a difficult position.
But after thinking about it, it seems quite normal to treat her like my younger sister.
He brought the clothes to Esther and began to dress the girl.
Roya is very skillful, and dressing is not a difficult task for her.
At first I was a little shy, but once I got used to it, I didn't find it particularly special.
Esther has great skin, even better than most of the rich young ladies in the academy, but that's about it.
Esther sat quietly on the bed, enjoying the service from her master.
The room was brightly lit, filled with a warm glow.
Outside the window, birds chirped sweetly, and in the distance, one could hear hushed conversations and the soft laughter of young girls.
After dressing Esther, Roya held her next to the mirror, put on her shoes, and had her stand opposite the mirror.
The mirror wasn't very big; it was placed next to the cabinet. Roya started trying to braid Esther's hair.
The black over-the-knee socks and white skirt added a touch of cuteness to Esther.
Esther is undeniably adorable; who could resist such a cool and aloof little girl?
The process of braiding the pigtails went smoothly.
Roya parted Esther's hair in the middle, picked out two small strands of hair from each side of the parting line, and braided them tightly until they reached a vertical position above her ears.
Esther has plenty of hair, enough for Roja to do whatever he wants with it.
When it comes to the technique of braiding pigtails, I learned it from Luo Qixi.
Luo Ya then braided the remaining hair on both sides close to the ears and diagonally behind the ears. She then combined the two strands of hair into one and continued braiding the remaining hair. Finally, she fixed the two strands in opposite directions at the back of her head. In this way, a silver-haired little girl with a beautiful braid was born.
Even Roya felt a little tempted by such an adorable little girl.
Unconsciously, he recalled the words of the great man.
Einstein: Having a thing for young girls is more important than actually sleeping with them. Sleeping with young girls only satisfies selfish physiological needs, while having a thing for young girls requires aesthetic appreciation and pursuit, which signifies true scientific progress.
Tolstoy: Lolicon is not a pleasure, but a heavy burden.
Newton: If I see further than others, it is because I have a little girl.
Victor Hugo: Lolis are a necessity for people. People who don't control anything will never be happy.
After a brief moment of reflection, Roya's mood brightened.
Roya patted Esther's head, smiled, pointed to the girl in the mirror, and said to the young woman, "How is it? Not bad, right?"
Esther examined herself in the mirror. It was a cute girl with a braided pigtail. The girl had delicate features and a cute, doll-like face, and was staring at her with a cold expression.
Esther tilted her head, and the girl in the mirror tilted her head in the same way.
Blinking, Esther smiled for the first time. Although the smile was faint, it was dazzling.
The rising sun melted the snow that had accumulated year after year, revealing a softer side beneath Esther's cold exterior.
"Thank you," Esther said to Roya, her attitude earnest. Although her tone remained indifferent, Roya could sense her sincerity.
"Well, I'm glad you like it. I was worried you wouldn't like it." Roya smiled.
"No, that's not true. The previous owner wasn't as skillful as you."
When the topic turned to the previous owner, the atmosphere became somewhat heavy.
