After returning to Greenville with Lupinus, Adelaide’s daily life went back to normal.
During the day, while her demons dealt with the warriors who came in to obtain Bricaber leaves, she helped repair the dungeon to prepare for the war with Los Halde.
She also stopped by the smithy to check if her weapon was being completed well. Although in the end, the Dwarves banned her from entering because she visited too often.
The management of the dungeon, as well as the war preparations, all went smoothly. Gold coins piled up in Greenville’s treasure room, and the fighting power of her demons also improved. Although this was an effect of the higher level of the dungeon, it was also partly the result of their continuous training every single day as they were determined to help Adelaide.
As a result, Greenville Dungeon has finally reached the B-1 Class. Excluding the randomly determined conditions, all the requirements for them to become A-Class have been met.
And the one who contributed the most to this rise in ranking was none other than Lupinus.
What this meant was that, after the incident in Helheim, his body had rapidly become demonized, and was now eligible to become a member of the dungeon. As soon as they realized this, Lupinus signed a contract without hesitation, and thus was proudly listed on the list of demon members.
Adelaide looked over the list again and again to see if this was really possible.
[Registered Demons Information]
Caladium (S-Class)
Position: High-Level Devil
Title: The Great Devil of the Red Flame

The names continued in the order in which their contract was signed. Thanks to the increase in the number of the registered demons, it took a long time to find Lupinus’ name.

Lupinus (S-Class)
Position: High-Level Devil
Identified Powers: Sword of Life and Death (SS-Class), Illusion Prison(S-Class)
No matter how many times she blinked her eyes to check again, the list was the same. Indeed, Lupinus had become a member of Greenville.
‘It even says high-level devil? But something…… The font is strange.’
Upon closer inspection, the words “high-level demon” were subtly curved. It must have been an error in the pad because of his uniqueness. It wasn’t unreasonable since there had never been a case like this before.
“Lupin. What is the ‘Sword of Life and Death’?”
She mentioned the power described under Lupinus’ name and asked. ‘Illusion Prison’ probably pertains to the ability that held Caladium in an illusion when he first invaded Greenville, but she had no idea what the ‘Sword of Life and Death’ was.
“Hmm. I don’t know either.”
“If Lupin doesn’t know, who would?”
“Well. At the very least I didn’t name it. I don’t have the hobby of giving my abilities such childish names.”
If you’re saying that, then what am I?
Adelaide, who was about to receive a weapon named ‘The Demon Realm Ruler’, simply chose to remain silent.
And it was when he participated in his first battle as a member that Adelaide learned the identity of his SS-Class power.
Countless warriors’ heads rolled on the floor as Lupinus disinterestedly wielded his sword. And as always, something strange happened when the fragments of their souls scattered into the air.
Shhhk! Shk!
Like the sound of air escaping a balloon, the soul fragments flew and were absorbed by his sword. The sword minutely vibrated as it devoured the souls. At the same time, Lupinus’ hair flashed gold for a brief second.
He later explained that whenever he killed someone with his sword, he could absorb parts of their souls. And if he absorbs a large amount of warrior souls, he may be able to revive just like in the past.
It was great news but the unfortunate thing was that absorbing the souls of warriors, whom he had a big gap in skills with, was not very helpful. In order to revive just like he said, he would need to kill tens of thousands of high-level warriors or kill a warrior with the same rank as him. In other words, it was almost impossible as long as he was the only legendary warrior.
In any case, Adelaide was very envious of his new power. A sword that absorbed the enemy’s soul. Lupinus looked unimpressed, but it was quite amazing in her eyes.
“When will my weapon be completed?”
She was envious and grumbled without thinking. However, this didn’t miss reaching Lisianthus’ ears.
And exactly one day after she said that. The dwarves came to Adelaide with her newly finished weapon. They had very tired faces, as if they hadn’t slept a wink.
“Hey, Pink. Are you okay? You look very tired……. ”
When asked with concern, the pink bearded dwarf shifted his eyes to the side. Adelaide turned her head to see where his eyes were heading. Soon, Lisianthus, who had a beautiful smile, was captured in her field of vision.
“We’re o-okay! We are perfectly fine! ”
“Yes! We slept a lot!”
“I slept so much that my face is so swollen! Hahaha……! ”
The dwarves exchanged glances and urgently raised their voices. It was very awkward seeing them laughing for no reason.
It wasn’t difficult to deduce that Lisianthus had made another terrifying threat to them. You’re so friendly and kind in front of me, how can your attitude change so much with other demons? She already knew about his duality, but she still thought that he was being quite shameless.
‘What are you going to do if they say they can’t live here anymore?!’
If we want them to stay for a long time and do well, you can’t just go threatening them! Adelaide scolded him with disapproving eyes. Lisianthus shrugged both shoulders as if he didn’t know anything.
The dwarves became even more flustered. They moved exaggeratedly to attract her attention.
“M-Master! Take this!”
“The Dwarven race’s masterpiece, the greatest weapon that no one can ever imitate, please take care of “The Demon Realm Ruler!”
The dwarf with red hair gave her the sword. Adelaide blankly accepted it and stared at the sword. As expected, her focus quickly turned to the new weapon.
The black longsword was much more beautiful than what she saw on the screen. It was not simply a weapon, but a work of art.
Her mouth opened wide as she pulled the sword out. It was custom work so she felt very satisfied with it.
“Would you like to test it?”
“Huh?”
Adelaide, who hungrily stared at the sword, raised her head as Lisianthus spoke.
“You should check if the length really stretches according to Master’s will.”
“Oh, that’s right. I should.”
She replied that he was right and headed to the training room. The dwarves followed along with tense faces.
The subject of the experiment was none other than Lisianthus. They had fought many times before therefore Adelaide swung the sword at him without hesitation.
Shrrrsshhhh! With a red light, the pitch black sword stretched long and truly turned into a whip. She admired it as she attacked Lisianthus.
In the beginning, adjusting the length according to her will was a bit unfamiliar, so she made lots of mistakes, but the more she got used to it, the sharper and fiercer her attacks became. As the battle continued, the whip moved like a living creature according to her will. It was as if the weapon became a part of her body.
Suddenly, Adelaide, immersed in her new weapon, forgot the purpose of the training and unrelentingly kept swinging the sword. Sometimes as a sword, and other times as a whip, the dwarves would occasionally clap their hands while saying, ‘Yes, that’s exactly what you wanted!’
Chiik!
The tight battle ended when a thorn stuck in the whip cut Lisianthus’ cheek. As soon as she saw blood dripping from his white cheek, Adelaide was startled and recovered her whip.
“Lisian! Are you okay?!”
She hurried over to him and examined the wound. Fortunately, it was not a deep wound. It was a simple scratch.
But the problem was that the scratch was on his precious face. She despaired as if he had contracted an incurable disease.
“Oh my god! Lisian’s face is wounded……! ”
“It’s okay. As you can see, it’s not much.”
He took out his handkerchief and wiped the blood on his face. On the outside, he pretended it was nothing, but in fact, his heart was beating so fast that he wouldn’t be surprised if it burst.
‘I didn’t see it.’
Just now, Lisianthus wasn’t going easy on Adelaide. Even though he was facing her quite seriously, he couldn’t completely avoid the attack.
Rather, it was her who went easy on him. She stopped the attack as soon as he was injured. If she hadn’t, would it have ended with just this wound? He couldn’t guarantee it.
A shudder rose from the tip of his fingers and swept all over his body. He had heard how great Helheim’s power was, but he didn’t think it would be so strong.
No, this was not just because she received Helheim. If it was another demon, they would not have been able to use it this far. Adelaide became so strong because it was her. The unusual luck and talent, hard work, and her exceptional powers all combined to achieve this harmony.
Of course, she was not strong enough to win against Abaddon and other devils, but her growth rate was better than any other demon that Lisianthus had seen in well over 500 years. If she hadn’t been the woman he loved, he wanted to kill her later.
“E-Excuse me, Master. I forgot to say this earlier.”
The pink-haired dwarf carefully spoke. His eyes were shaking so much you’d think he’s being stabbed.
“A-Actually, there’s poison on the whip. So the antidote must be taken quickly…….”
“What?! Why are you just telling me this now? Where’s the antidote? ”
“I wasn’t sure if I should interrupt the mood……! Hey, where’s the antidote? ”
The dwarves looked around him in a hurry. But soon the silver-haired demon caught his eyes.
Shh. Lisianthus placed his index finger on his lips and smiled. He was telling him to be quiet. He didn’t know why, but the dwarf shut up.
“I don’t need an antidote.”
“Huh? Why? You have to drink it quickly.”
“The poison here can be detoxified by a true beloved’s kiss.”
“So, I look forward to your kind cooperation.” Lisianthus added with a fox-like smile.
After returning to Greenville with Lupinus, Adelaide’s daily life went back to normal.
