Supreme Couple In Apocalypse: Undead King & Demonic Queen

Chapter 24: Wish?

"I am not doing it." Serina firmly shook her head. Her gaze was on the skull section of the roulette.' 20% chance of dying? No thanks.'

Erix glanced at Rin and Isabella before shaking his head.

"We are not doing it."

In the end, nobody wanted to spin the roulette.

"Yeiheheheh, that won't do. Unless one of you spins the roulette, you will be trapped here forever," the Devil said as he creepily laughed.

A faint dark mist appeared as it surrounded everyone after the Devil finished speaking!

Erix narrowed his eyes at the Devil and focused to see his status.

[~Roulette Devil~]

_Level: 199 (Noble-Order)

Erix could only see his level, but that was enough.

'Troublesome,' he thought, internally clicking his tongue. 'Impossible to defeat it, alright.'

"Come on! If you stay scared in this situation, you won't progress. Yeihahaha…"

"Show some bravery and spin the roulette. If not, I will forcefully choose one of you to spin it."

Erix fell into thought, his eyes narrowing at the roulette's skull section. 'I didn't die of a zombie bite and instead became powerful. If I can dodge that bullet, then this 20% chance of death… I can beat it too.'

"I'll spin it," Erix said before he was a bit startled as the moment he spoke, the Devil and his roulette disappeared from the group's center and floated right in front of him.

"Erix? What are you thinking?" Rin frowned.

"You don't need to take a risk like that, Erix."

Isabella said as her brows also creased at Erix's decision.

"Before I spin it, I want to ask some questions," Erix said, looking straight at the Devil.

"Ask away, but know that I am not obligated to answer them, yeihehehe."

Erix nodded before he asked his first question.

"Does that skull symbol indicate certain death?"

"Interesting question," the Devil grinned before releasing a sharp creepy laugh.

"No! It's not certain death, but almost certain. You will be bestowed a random death sentence if you get a skull symbol. "For example… Forcefully fighting to the death against a random human of this world, or…

"Forcefully fighting against a creature more powerful than you," the Devil harrowingly grinned as he continued, "You might also get thrown into a torture cell or a deadly maze with a time limit survival."

"All in all, the Skull symbol is 99% death and 1% chance of survival. How you turn that 1% into 100% depends on your capabilities, yeihehehehe… Now, spin, spin."

Erix spun the roulette with his hand without saying anything anymore.

Rin and Isabella stood on both sides of Erix to see the roulette, and Serina, Lena, and bodyguards stood behind Erix for the same reason.

Toshin just sat on the ground with his cut-off leg, but his eyes were also focused on them as he wondered, 'What will happen?'

The roulette's needle was hitting the borders of each section as the spinner started slowing down.

Erix was calm, but Rin and Isabella were the opposite.

Finally, the roulette slowed as the needle entered the skull section! But it was still spinning and hit the border before slowing down.

By now, Erix was not calm. 'Move forward!'

The needle bent while the roulette still spun a bit.

In the end, the needle stuck at the border between the skull and the Innate talent section.

"What the fuck?" One of the bodyguards muttered with a dumbfounded expression.

Others were also taken aback at the development.

"Oya, Oya… This is interesting, yeihoeheoheoheheh!"

The Roulette Devil laughed manically in his weird way at the result.

"What do you make of this?" Rin fired a question at the Devil.

The Devil was still laughing as he held his belly and squirmed on the ground.

"Yiehohehehoehe… T-This is too funny. The chance of this happening is so low that it has never happened to me until now.'

'This young man is strange. His race is already a unique one, but It seems that Luck, which is normally unaffected by external factors, is somehow affected by him. Although that almost killed him, it reached an equilibrium of good and bad due to his effect, but that ended him giving him this rare reward.'

Erix looked at the roulette and then the Devil before asking, "What do I get now?"

The Devil stopped laughing but still grinned wide as he floated in front of Erix and said, "You get the best reward, hahaha. According to the rule, you get a wish if the needle doesn't point to any section."

"A wish?" Erix raised his eyebrows. "Do you mean I can wish for anything and have it?"

"No. If you wish to reach level 100, it won't happen. There are also other things you can't wish for," the Devil said while shaking his head before looking at Erix's eyes and grinning. "If you ask for a wish that can't be fulfilled, your wish will be wasted. So think carefully and ask. You have one minute."

"One minute…"

Erix frowned and started thinking.

Isabella blinked once as she got an idea.

"Erix, how about you ask for all rewards of this roulette except for that Skull symbol?" Isabella suggested with a thoughtful expression. "I am sure such a wish can be fulfilled."

"Hoho, this lady says some wise words," the Devil laughed.

"That's a good idea," Rin also nodded.

Serina, Lena, and the bodyguards also nodded as they agreed with Isabella.

"Thanks for the suggestion, Isabella. But I want to try something else," Erix said as a smile formed on his face.
