Villain MMORPG: Almighty Devil Emperor and His Seven Demonic Wives



Villain Ch 266. What Can I Do To Make You Feel Better?

Once Zoe and Allen emerged from the swirling vortex, they found themselves standing before the imposing gate of the Cursed Crypts. The familiar surroundings entered their visions.

With a swift motion, Allen summoned his holographic keyboard and activated his group chat. The translucent interface materialized before him.

[Azazel: Zoe is saved. She is with me now.]

Previously, Zoe's urgent message appeared on all of them, but Allen was the one who decided to help her. He had already sent the message to the others before and the others also knew about it. But he knew that amidst the flurry of damage announcements, Zoe might have missed this crucial piece of news.

[Lullaby: Thank God! I thought we would lose her! *Relief emoji*]

[Grimora: Good to hear that!]

[Lilieth: Is she okay?]

[Selena: Don't worry about it. He has that Energy Injection skill, remember? *Smirking emoji*]

[Eira: It's Energy Transfer, you dumbass!]

[Selena: Same thing, blockhead!]

[Lilieth: Here we go, again. *Flat face emoji*]

[Nefaris: Allen, are you guys making out right now?]

[Azazel: We did. She's better now.]

[Grimora: Noice!]

[Azazel: Also, Jane. If you encounter a group, just kill them all next time.]

[Grimora: Eh? Why? *Sad emoji*]

[Lilieth: Why not?]

[Nefaris: So, can you get more EXP? *Confused emoji*]

[Grimora: But I thought letting them live as survivors would torture them with guilt. It will be more interesting. Just let them live with their regrets *Wink emoji*]

[Azazel: …]I think you should take a look at

[Nefaris: Here I am, thought that Jane has a good heart among us all, but it turned out she is more sadistic than us.]

[Grimora: Thank you for the compliment. But since Allen said it, I will kill all of them next time. They might be dangerous.]

[Abyssia: Also, you guys have to kill them fast. They almost got me because one of the guild leaders has the Battle Call skill.]

[Lullaby: What?! Are you serious?]

[Abyssia: Yes. He is a Dual Dagger User. He used his Hiding skill and Battle Call while my concentration shifted to his two members. That's why they could ambush me.]

[Azazel: The players have started to grasp the game mechanics and adapt to us. They are learning our moves and skills, so be careful, guys.]

That lively conversation was interrupted by Zoe's voice, her tone filled with remorse and self-blame. It was clear that she was taking the situation to heart, feeling responsible for the ambush she had faced.

"I'm sorry..." Zoe repeated, her voice tinged with regret. Among the girls in the group, she was the one with the most experience in duels within the game. To think that she had been caught off guard and needed to send an urgent message, was a blow to her confidence.

Allen turned his attention to Zoe, his expression calm but concerned. He could sense the weight of her disappointment. "Didn't I say it was okay?" he reassured her. "We're a team, Zoe. We win together, and we learn together. It's natural to face challenges and unexpected strategies from skilled players out there. This Battle Call skill took you by surprise, but that doesn't mean you should beat yourselves up over it."

But despite his words of encouragement, Zoe couldn't shake off her disappointment. She blamed herself for not noticing the hidden player lurking behind the tree while she was preoccupied with dealing with Player_Eater. It was a costly mistake, and she couldn't help but feel like she had let her teammates down.

Allen could sense her frustration and took her gently by the shoulders, looking into her eyes with a warm smile. Bloodstains marred his demonic claws, a stark contrast to his reassuring demeanor. "Hey, don't beat yourself up over this," he said soothingly. "We all make mistakes, and it's part of the learning process. The most important thing is that you are safe."

He tenderly stroked her hair, hoping to comfort her. Allen knew that in this game, they were up against countless players, all of whom were vying for dominance. The competition was fierce, and they had no choice but to improve and adapt if they wanted to survive and become this game's unbeatable villains.

"In this game, every player is a potential threat," he continued. "We can't afford to let our guard down for even a moment. It's a constant challenge, and we have to be on our toes at all times. But that's also what makes it exciting, right? The thrill of the hunt, the adrenaline rush of battle, and the satisfaction of overcoming obstacles."

Zoe let out another sigh, her frustration still lingering in the air. "I know, I know. It's just… I can't help feeling a little annoyed with myself," she admitted, her voice tinged with self-doubt. She lowered her head, unable to meet his gaze.

Allen noticed Zoe's dejected expression. He knew how hard she was on herself, and he didn't want to see her beating herself up over a mistake. Without hesitation, he reached out and gently took her chin, tilting her face up so that their eyes met.

"So, what can I do to make you feel better?" he asked, his voice full of concern. He wanted to be there for Zoe, to help her shake off the disappointment and regain her confidence.

Again, Zoe felt her cheeks flush with embarrassment, her heart pounding wildly in her chest at the close proximity of Allen's touch. The effect he had on her was undeniable, and she couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and nervousness at his gaze. Zoe felt her cheeks flush with warmth at the tenderness in Allen's eyes.

"I have finished my hunt. I can accompany you and hunt players to increase my EXP," he offered, his words giving her an idea that sparked her interest.

Zoe couldn't deny, despite the blood and battle surrounding them, he always had a way of making her feel safe and cared for. She couldn't help but smile, the weight of her mistake lifting just a little.
