Bang!!

As if that sound could be heard, a dense, enormous, and fierce pressure mercilessly attacked the people in the surrounding, even Jayla who was not really directly affected suddenly felt her legs limp and then she fell over. What?

She didn’t understand what had just happened.

Thud! Suddenly, several people started fainting and falling down.

“Kyaa!!” surprised screams rang out one after another as more and more people started fainting.

What is going on?!

Only Alkrasha felt it. Her skin was trembling slightly.

This pressure…

She stared at Allen wide eyes in shock.

Allen indifferently ignored the surrounding and stop in front of the beautiful woman. He raised his hand and cupped her chin, raising it for her to look at her.

“Maria Makiling… aren’t you?” Allen smiled faintly.

“… …”

“Legends says that you are a goddess of love and beauty but also says you are a fallen angel who was punished by God… just what is it, really?”

The woman only stared Allen, not responding or reacting.

Then, that’s fine…

Allen thought for a moment before putting his hand on the pouch and pulled a card.

Although I haven’t set it yet beforehand but… “It should be fine since I wasn’t really in a duel…” Allen muttered as he throws the card on the ground. In an instant, the card expanded and then disappeared.

“However, I can’t use it unless it’s for me or for my summons…”

Allen shrugs his shoulders and reaches out his hand, gently stroking the woman’s soft cheeks. She still didn’t react. Allen even almost thought that she was just a lifeless doll that looked like a human.

Thus, in order to use the card, Allen needed to tame her first and become his summon.

Allen tried taming her but immediately failed. Her original power should be mid-rook to peak-rook ranked… interesting.

“Then how about this – Seal of the Divine King!”

[ Seal of the Divine King – possess the power to seal any Demons and Spirits. Success is based on the user’s power and the opponent's Demon power. ]

Shiing! The woman’s body immediately lit up. It’s a bit difficult to use it without the ring but as long as his power was way above the other party, there would be a high chance of success!

1 minute… 2 minutes… 3 minutes…

After 5 minutes, the light gradually fades and, *Ding!*

A prompt appeared.

[ Congratulations! You have successfully sealed Peak Rook ranked Nymph; Maria Makiling! ]

Solomon’s Divine Grimoire suddenly materializes in front of Allen and flipping its page by itself, it stopped on the new character page;

[ Maria Makiling Peak Rook

A legendary Philippine Nymph who usually inhabits Mount Makiling and protects the animals and plants of the mountain from those who would harm or defile it. However, she was abducted by King Manaul who desires her beauty and cursed her with [ Living Doll ].

She was portrayed in legends and myths as a kind and generous Nymph especially towards human beings, giving them gifts and blessings. But when she is provoked to anger by the greed or cruelty of humans, she withdraws her favors and dispenses frightening punishments. ]

Living Doll… huh, Allen grins and flipped his hand. “Trap Card Activate; Imperial Order!”

Shiingg!! A huge card face down suddenly appeared under them and stood up behind Allen.

Imperial Order

Trap Card.

Negate all Spell effects on the field. Once per turn, during the Standby Phase, you must pay 700 LP, or this card is destroyed.

Allen immediately felt his vitality weakened. Even his former wounds started bleeding even more.

Blood streak at the corner of his lips.

This card is really brutal… fortunately; he would only use it a single time.

*Ding!* [ Cursed Living Doll destroyed! ]

“Allen!!” Alkrasha and Jayla hurriedly rushed over after seeing Allen’s terrible state. Blood dripped on the ground, coming from his former wounds.

“Recovery Spell!” Jayla immediately used healing type ability though only the basic type recovery spell. After all, all his high-level healing spells are all holy type power which was extremely fatal to Allen.

His Devil Transformation, for some reason, couldn’t be reverted, thus, although he was using the Mask of Thousand Faces, it only changed the outer appearance. If struck by light and holy spells, he would certainly take damage.

Though he wasn’t vulnerable against it – after all, with Dragon’s Physiology, his physique is extremely powerful. Besides, his Devil form was caused by the Nephilim Physiology that was originally half-angels, so he has a bit affinity for light power.

But he was just too wounded and weak currently. Thus, he wouldn’t be able to negate all damage taken from Light Magic if he was hit by it.

Allen immediately returned [ Imperial Order ] to his hand to avoid paying another life points. And while being healed by Alkrasha and Jayla, Allen looked down at Maria Makiling.

She was closing her eyes and her complexion was starting to get a bit rosy.

Then, finally, her eyelids trembled.

The moment, she opened her eyes; she stared at Allen in confusion.

“What… what am I…”

“You’re abducted by King Manaul and were cursed…” Allen said with a gentle expression. “I save you; however, to do that, I needed to do something so please forgive my impoliteness…”

Willed by Allen, the Solomon’s Divine Grimoire floated in front of Maria Makiling, showing her, her character page.

“Now, you are my summon. Sealed within my Grimoire. I needed to do that to free you from the curse…” Allen shrugs. He looks so heroic as if what he had done was something praiseworthy.

Maria Makiling’s eyes widened in shock. What!?

“I, I…” She stuttered. She doesn’t know what to do nor how would she react…

“Whether you like it or not… it’s the truth…” Though he can free her but it would be a waste to do that…

“Please take care of me… Miss Maria Makiling…” He smiled as he extended his hand.

Alkrasha and the other who was staring at Allen's expression while knowing him fully could only sigh. This idiot...
