Leveling Up with My Adorable Monster Girl Harem!

Chapter 170: I'd rather die than follow the fate

"As I said before, she's no longer a human. Yes, she's gifted and has the potential to become one of the strongest women in our world… But that's all. She will never become someone's else queen nor plans any conquest." Winterborn King decided to continue his talks without hiding too many details.

That was because this meeting was too important.

If he thought of lies, he would dig a hole under himself and soon get buried by his own lies.

"It's said that only humans can wield the divine concepts. That's because human ancestors won that privilege back in the far past… But we have already confirmed that this rule no longer applies. The Chaos Dragon is a perfect example. What if you want to use this woman to attract the divine wielder to your side and then have your child devour that concept, just like The Chaos Dragon had done?" The man with red eyes continued.

Winterborn King clenched his hands.

How could he say that his wife took a liking to his woman and treated her like her daughter? Would that convince that man and have him give up on pursuing Snow Demoness' death? Winterborn King wasn't naive enough to believe that, so he had to think of a different argument.

"Snow Demoness found refuge in our kingdom. She became a part of us, assimilated into the culture, and became an object of admiration for many. My wife also treasures her and pours a lot of love into that abandoned woman. Indeed. She has been hurt and abandoned by humans. All this woman want is a life where no one can touch her. If she attracts the peak humanity body to our lands, I'll not allow for their talk."

"You have brought up a good point." The same man smiled, momentarily relieving Winterborn King, but his next words made the ice man grit his teeth. "She can attract the peak humanity human. We don't know where the other two concepts are and what they're planning. If Snow Demoness is one of their future queens, her presence will bring the man with a divine concept to our feet.

"I reckon we must keep her locked, waiting for that man to appear. For that, I shall offer my services. As you know, our family has a long history of prisoning people, not killing them like it's common in our world. Our prison's defenses are top-tier, and no one can escape them, let alone enter freely. Since she's someone special, we'll offer her good living conditions. It's just that she won't be able to leave her cell."

Winterborn King paled deeper, an image of his wife's scrunched face beating his conscience.

He quickly thought of something else. "How have you learned about Snow Demoness' uniqueness?"

"I have my own sources." The man smirked, his words annoying a few people. "And those sources are right since you have confirmed that… Who agrees with my offer?"

Soon, many people raised their hands.

That shocked Winterborn King.

And then, Madam Jasmin parted her lips. "You must state your sources. We can't exclude a possibility that you're working with… a divine concept wielder."

Those words stressed the red-eyed man more than he had expected.

Leon tried finding The Black Dragon.

Alas, he couldn't find a trace of him anymore. He quickly did his job and left, leaving Leon and a few other people irked.

Leon lost his dragon maid. She had gone through a lot and was open to more experiences. Though her circumstances were surely out of this world, she worked hard for her new life.

She was a good dragon maid.

Leon muttered beneath his nose. "So… That's how you will draw me into your shit, The Human Emperor?"

To his words, Louise and Celes remained expressionless, though their hearts drummed loudly, as they felt like they for sure would be clashing with The Human Emperor's forces.

For that reason, Leon was interested in the gathering.

He made his way here.

"You think I'll believe in your crystal ball bullshit?!" Winterborn King roared and stood up.

The red-eyed man had been forced to state his sources, so he said that he learned about Snow Demoness through the crystal ball. He murmured about some divination and other stuff that triggered the ice man.

Other people, who hadn't raised their hands before, trained their eyes on that man.

On the other hand, those who did agree with his offers appeared tense.

"You must be working for the peak humanity body, you human! Who is it?! Space? Life?! Who!" Winterborn King was now sure that something was going on behind the scenes.

He ordered his people to protect Snow Demoness, for it was no longer just his business to keep her safe.

Heaven Library Guild and others did the same.

Soon, the space above the round table cracked, and a man dropped onto it. "Space."

The man appeared young, no older than thirty, and he smiled from head to toe as he hummed and struck the table with the tip of his shoes. He was in good spirits, ready to shake the whole scene.

[Adam Lv. 120 HP: ??? MP: ???]

"I'm new to this world, but I worked really fast to be at the top of the scene… You see, a previous successor to space abandoned that concept and went to live his own life… So I have much more work to do… For example, finding my own queen." Adam chuckled and locked his eyes on Winterborn King. "You can't protect her… No one can."

He used his new concept and stole Snow Demoness from everyone!

But as he was only level one hundred, his control wasn't that good. Soon, a portal appeared before him, and a white-haired woman came out from it.

Standing shocked and wary, Snow Demoness locked her eyes on Adam.

He smiled and said. "You have a fate to work with me. Others don't really want to work together like five ancestors from the past, so we must rely only on ourselves. If you don't want to die a dog's death, become mine."

Snow Demoness's cold lips parted. "I'd rather die than follow fate."

"Don't kill yourself!" Winterborn King roared, already channeling his mana.

But before he could do anything else, the space cracked again, and more people swarmed the gathering.

Leon would recognize all of them.

Those were his distant relatives.
