Villain: Manipulating the Heroines into hating the Protagonist
Chapter 526 Wang Jian Snatches Beauties Under Lin Fei's NoseA cold sweat prickled Zardon's skin as he dismissed the King and Queen. The Blue Moon Eclipse Devils' presence hung heavy in the air, an unwelcshadow over X-34 Star. He knew he had to act fast.
"Mobilize the entire tribe!" he barked, his voice echoing through the chamber. "Every devil, every tracker. We need to find this human fugitive…and fast."
The Shadowspawn, known for their meticulousness, sprang into action. Squads of devils fanned out across the planet, each equipped with an arsenal of tracking artifacts - Human Aura Detectors, Spectral Scanners, the lot. They scoured every nook and cranny, the frustration mounting with each passing hour. The missing human was a phantom, leaving no trace of his presence.
Meanwhile, on the far side of the planet, a storm of rebellion was brewing, and Lin Fei was putting his meticulously planned coup into action.
Weeks of preparation had culminated at this moment. He had secretly rallied the human slaves in the settlement, subtly weakening the spiritual and illusionary chains that bound them.
With a touch of his unique energy, he'd made these spiritual chains fragile enough to snap at the right moment.
His efforts weren't limited to the men or those ugly human women.
The beautiful women who served as slaves to the settlement's elite were also part of his plan. They, through a series of well-timed distractions and subtle suggestions, had been discreetly replacing the water sources with a potent concoction.
This concoction wasn't your average spring water. Lin Fei had mixed in a potent blend of holy water, rumored to weaken demonic entities, and a rare extract from the Divine Phoenix, a legendary creature whose very essence countered darkness. The Shadowspawn, weakened by this insidious mix, were experiencing a gnawing pain in their very souls.
The stage was set. All that was missing was the final act. Lin Fei, with a mischievous glint in his eye, unleashed the prearranged signal – a burst of vibrant Sacred Flames erupting within the settlement, accompanied by the thunderous crackle of Holy Lightning ripping through the sky.
This was the cue. The human slaves, empowered by Lin Fei's weakened chains and imbued with a newfound strength from the holy water, surged forward. The beautiful women, their former captors watching in stunned surprise, activated the array formation Lin Fei had meticulously planned.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith a flash of blinding light, a dof shimmering energy descended upon the settlement. This wasn't your average defensive barrier – it was a marvel of spiritual engineering, Lin Fei's creation named the "Divine Purification Array."
The array served a dual purpose. It channeled divine energy, creating a field that sapped the strength of any demon trapped within. Simultaneously, it amplified the humans' own spiritual reserves, turning them into formidable warriors within the confines of the dome.
The Shadowspawn devils, weakened by Lin Fei's schemes and further hampered by the divine energy, were caught completely off guard. The settlement erupted in chaos. The once oppressed humans, fueled by years of pent-up anger and newfound strength, fought with a ferocity that surprised even themselves.
The screams of the Shadowspawn echoed through the settlement as they were overpowered and subdued by the very slaves they had once held captive. This small uprising, a spark ignited by Lin Fei, was just the beginning of something much larger.
The Divine Purification Array pulsed with golden light, a stark contrast to the screams that filled the settlement. Despite their weakened state, the Shadowspawn devils fought back with a desperate ferocity. Years of dominance wouldn't be relinquished easily.
The human slaves, for all their righteous fury, lacked the experience and cultivation necessary to truly overpower their demonic captors. Decades of suppression had taken their toll, leaving them physically and spiritually weaker.
Among the humans, a burly man named Bao Wei swung his makeshift wooden club with surprising agility, connecting with a Shadowspawn's jaw with a sickening crack. Li Xiuying, a young woman with eyes that blazed with defiance, dodged a swipe of claws and landed a precise kick to her opponent's chest, sending him sprawling.
But for every victory, there was a setback. An older man, Chen Guang, fell with a scream, a Shadowspawn's claws ripping through his makeshift armor. Panic threatened to engulf the humans, but a booming voice cut through the chaos.
"Don't falter! Remember what we are fighting for! Freedom!"
It was Lin Fei, his voice ringing with false conviction.
He wasn't actively participating in the fight, a fact that went unnoticed by the emboldened humans. Instead, he was leading a group of beautiful women, their faces a picture of confusion, towards the edge of the array.
These women weren't the hardened fighters like Bai Wei or Li Xiuying. They were the 'dolls' of the elite Shadowspawn, their beauty a source of misery rather than empowerment.
"It will be alright," Lin Fei reassured them, his voice all sincerity. "You all need to followif you want to escape. Since your cultivation is low, you can't help in the fight so I want you to stay here outside the array formation where you will be safe."
The women, blinded by gratitude and the adrenaline of rebellion, readily agreed. They saw Lin Fei as their savior, a beacon of hope in this dark hour. Little did they know, his motives were far from altruistic.
Lin Fei's plan was simple, yet devious. He had orchestrated this rebellion not for the sake of human liberation, but for his own twisted desires. The chaos and the struggle were mere distractions, a smokescreen for his true goal - to claim these beautiful women for himself.
He knew their vulnerability, their desperation for freedom, would make them easy prey. He'd play the hero, the protector, and once they were indebted to him, once they were outside the array's protection, he'd reveal his true colors.
As the fight raged within the dome, Lin Fei led the women to a hidden cave he'd discovered during his exploration of the settlement. Inside, torches cast flickering shadows on the damp walls, creating an unsettling atmosphere.
"Stay here," Lin Fei instructed, his voice dropping a touch lower. "I'll go and join the battle against the devils and make sure to return with our fellow humans."
The women, exhausted but hopeful, settled down on a makeshift bed of leaves and furs. They were filled with a naive trust towards Lin Fei, completely oblivious to the predator's grin that stretched across his face as he slipped out of the cave.
Alone in the darkness, Lin Fei chuckled to himself. "Fools," he muttered. "Freedom? You'll be begging for my protection soon enough when those devils break that array formation and cto this cave. Then…I will 'coincidentally' save you all while risking my life. Keke…It will be the perfect plan."
He had no intention of helping the rebels or defeating the Shadowspawn. His only interest lay in exploiting the chaos, in turning it to his own advantage. As the rebels within the dfought for their lives, Lin Fei, the supposed savior, planned his next move - how to manipulate and control these women, turning their gratitude into a twisted form of servitude.
Meanwhile, within the Divine Purification Array, the tide of the battle was slowly turning. The human rebels began to push back.
Wei Xiong had his makeshift weapon shattered and was pinned down by a hulking Shadowspawn devil.
Li Xiuying, witnessing this, let out a cry of despair and charged recklessly towards the attacker.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm But outside the dome, oblivious to the rebellion's growing momentum, Lin Fei himself for the fight against those devils near that cavern where those beautiful women are hiding.The battle within the settlement raged for a grueling three hours.. One by one, the human resistance crumbled. Bodies lay strewn on the ground, a chilling reminder of the rebellion's swift demise. The Shadowspawn, panting and bloodied but victorious, turned their attention to the pulsating dof the Divine Purification Array.
Two more hours of focused attacks chipped away at the barrier's integrity. Finally, with a deafening crack, the array shattered, dissolving into shimmering particles of light.
The Shadowspawn, now free from its suppressive energy, roared in triumph.
Their first order of business – finding any fleeing humans.
The Shadowspawn emerged from the settlement, their eyes scanning the surroundings for any fleeing rebels.
Their search led them to the cavern entrance. A group of devils cautiously ventured inside, expecting to find terrified humans hiding in the shadows. But the cavern was eerily empty.
Lin Fei, watching from a concealed vantage point, waited with bated breath. Any moment, he expected screams to erupt from the cavern, prompting his heroic intervention. However, the silence only grew heavier.
The devils emerged, shaking their heads."No sign of them," one reported to the leader, a grim expression etched on his face."The cavern's empty."
Disbelief warred with panic within Lin Fei. How? Where could they have gone?
Their search continued, frustration mounting with each fruitless pursuit. Finally, they moved on, leaving the cavern behind. Lin Fei, unable to contain his curiosity, crept closer. He peered into the darkness, expecting to see the women huddled together, fear etched on their faces.
But the cavern was empty. Not a trace of them remained. Panic clawed at Lin Fei's throat. His carefully crafted plan, built on manipulation and opportunism, had crumbled to dust. The women, the key to his twisted desires, had vanished.
He had no idea that while he fantasized about playing the hero, a far more powerful force had intervened.
Wang Jian, with his mastery of spatial manipulation, had snatched the women away, leaving Lin Fei in the dark
