The Devil's Cage Chapter 1342 – Best Candidate
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Kieran was sitting on the only sofa in the room. He was in deep thought as he looked at the tooth that was as big as his thumb that was in his palm.
This tooth was so white that it looked like it was painted, but a closer look would reveal the small patterns on it, they looked like cracks. However, the pointy end of the tooth was in the shape of a hook and was exceptionally sharp.
[Name: Damaged High Blood Kindred Tooth]
[Type: Organ]
[Rarity: I]
[Attribute: 1. First Ownage; 2. Blood Enhance]
[Prerequisite: Embed]
[Able to bring out of the dungeon: Yes]
[Remark: This is the tooth from a mighty Blood Kin. Although it’s damaged and not up to its original strength, it’s power should not be overlooked.]
…
[First Ownage: Use it to suck other people’s blood and provide the target with your own. The target will become your loyal servant; Cost 2000 Points each usage, Bloodline and Spirit authentication required, usable three times per day]
[Blood Enhance: Absorbing fresh blood will strengthen your Strength, Agility, and Constitution (No higher than rank I), usable once per day]
….
[Embed: You need to embed it in your mouth. It’s not a simple embedding process but the change of bloodline and fusion.]
…
[Damaged High Blood Kindred Tooth] was very decent without a doubt, but it wasn’t suitable for Kieran.
Kieran knew his own powers very well.
His core powers revolved around Devil Force, Cardinal Sins Force, Saint Thorn Force, Dawn Force, and Plague Force, all of them were at a tacit balance currently.
Once an external force entered the equation, although there were chances of it merging peacefully into the system, there was a higher chance that it would collapse the carefully orchestrated balance.
Once that happened, Kieran couldn’t bear the consequences.
With a sigh, Kieran placed it in his bag.

He then opened his message tab and replied to all the pending emails.
Border Street’s situation already attracted the attention of Lawless and the others. As a matter of fact, after Kieran left, the lone wolves appeared on Border Street.
They missed Kieran because he was eagerly going to Server II’s room to search for loot.
Lawless: You sure you’re okay?”
2567: Relax, I’m fine.
Lawless: U SURE?
2567: I’m sure.
…
Kieran had to emphasize multiple times due to Lawless’ repeated questions, but he obviously underestimated his friend’s nagging. 10 minutes later, Kieran’s door was knocked on.
Kieran couldn’t help but shrug when he saw Lawless come in.
“Come here to see it for yourself?” Kieran asked in a ridiculing tone.
“Em.” Lawless nodded and heaved a long breath. He explained, “You’ve never come across Sin-server before, so I was anxious… Thank goodness everything is fine.”
“Sin-server, is that powerful?” Kieran frowned at his friend’s reaction.
“Very powerful!”
“If I list out the Supernovas that I least want to face, Sin-server will be the first,” Lawless smiled bitterly.
“It’s not because Sin-server is an organization, right?” Kieran asked.
“Of course not! Because of one of the Servers, I forgot which number, truly showcased his powers before—not the one that you encountered, but they were up against Broker at that time.” Lawless said in a heavy tone.
Each time Lawless mentioned Broker, he would unconsciously be alarmed.
That bastard was too cunning, one might even fall into his trap by merely mentioning his title.
“In the end?” Kieran asked.
“I don’t know. After the battle, Sin-server appeared, as usual, Broker behaved normally as well. No one really knows what the result was, but I suspect… Broker bought Sin-server.”
“Otherwise, based on Broker’s personality, he wouldn’t have just let it go like this.”
Lawless voiced his speculations.
“The confrontation just now doesn’t seem like Broker’s handy work.”

“I didn’t see Broker’s cunning, just the Server’s rash actions, ignorance, and ego.”
“Even… Hmm, hold on! If that’s the case, it may be just as you surmised!”
Kieran squinted his eyes when he thought of something.
Similarly, Lawless thought of something as well.
Both of them exchanged a gaze, and then Lawless spoke. “You’re saying because of Broker’s silence, the Sin-server decided to defect? But Broker must have predicted this beforehand, so he set up some traps and caused them to engage boldly, to push them to… a suicidal battle?”
Lawless thought for a while before saying the word “suicidal.”
He really wanted to use other words, but he couldn’t find any other more suitable ones.
The Sin-server were strong, they had the abilities to storm over their targets, and yet they appeared one after another. In Lawless’ point of view, other than a suicidal act, they must be some morons.
“There is a high chance of that. If it’s really Broker’s handy work…”
“There must be more to this.” Kieran looked at Lawless.
The latter instantly became energetic and had an itch for battle.
Vigilance against the enemy was a necessity, but Lawless would not back off from a fight with his hated enemy.
“What should we do?” Lawless asked eagerly.
“Wait!”
“After all, there must be some other people who are much more anxious than we are,” Kieran replied.
“But aren’t we being too passive?” Lawless looked at Kieran with slight doubts.
“That is why I sent out a potential candidate.”
“All I need to do is wait patiently.”
Kieran smiled when he mentioned the ‘candidate.’
…
“Damn bloody bastard, motherf*cker!”
“I know it’s me again!”
“Even if you want to shed a sheep’s fur, change the damn sheep!”
“I’m almost bald, and yet you still shave me for scraps!”
The High Demon, Bloody Mary, disguised as a regular player, was carrying the unconscious Rorl. They were walking along the destroyed Border Street and was heading towards the center of the city.
Of course, Bloody Mary knew what it’s contractor wanted to do, but because of that, it was more than unwilling to cooperate.
Although, most of the time, Bloody Mary was undead, it didn’t mean it had no pain sensory. When it was slashed, stabbed, or beaten, it would still feel pain, let alone tearing its limbs apart or breaking its entire body in pieces. The pain was branded in its soul, to the point that it didn’t want to recall the suffering.
But in reality?
It tried its best to forget them, and yet it’s contractor sent it to experience even more with utmost perseverance.
Bloody Mary had almost forgotten the last painful experience, but now, a new one had arrived.
If it wasn’t for the contract, it swore it would drag that bastard contractor to hell together.
“Ugh…”
Rorl, who was unconscious, muttered, he was waking up.
But a moment later—
Pak!
Bloody Mary presented Rorl with a hand chop, knocking him out cold again.
Its heart was resenting, but it didn’t forget its duty.
Bloody Mary walked forward, and almost 10 minutes later, a scarlet red figure appeared before the High Demon.
“Can you give me the person you are carrying?”
“And tell me who you are?”
“Why are you here?”
The scarlet red coat was similar to the other Servers, but the voice was a woman’s this time. The woman obviously held her pitch back, making it rough and heavy, but the feminine tone didn’t change.
Bloody Mary didn’t utter a word, it threw Rorl at her and ran for it.
The woman wasn’t surprised after she caught Rorl, she chased Bloody Mary.
Both of them were running very fast.
Less than a minute later, they had left the main street and reached a secluded block.
In the middle of the secluded block, a black figure was quietly waiting.

Noble
"Then, let joyous news be delivered to those who pass their lives in peace, For it takes only one twist of fate to throw their lives upside down And for those who unfortunate enough to encounter the whims of fate, Let it be reminded to them, that even their lives repeat a hundred times..." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lys Ravenlicht was no hero, nor was he a brave man. He was someone who had the better things in life and figured that he'd tread upon the path his late father had prepared for him as an appointed noble and a politician in his home country and he had no business whatsoever of being a hero. And yet, it took only one twist, one twist of fate, before all plans he had laid out for the rest of his life went down the tubes. Join him as he traverse the lands of Fymia, where the arcane had faded into the annals of time and yet persist in the most mundane of things. And as he found himself dragged deeper into a catastrophic series of events that would change his perception of the world, and the course of history for the world itself... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Author's comments: The story was meant to be a satire of the Japanese animanga tropes.... until it got out of hand to the point I'm not sure it's a satire anymore. I hope you can find enjoyment in it nonetheless.
