Forced to Sell Myself to the Female Lead After Killing the Male Lead

Chapter 58:

"I think you're just asking for death, you stinky girl! A worm from the sewer!"

Fuming with anger, Grid ruthlessly swung his hand at the pink-haired girl without showing any mercy or restraint.

Given his mid-five level expert physical prowess, this blow would undoubtedly kill the rank-three pink-haired girl! However, Grid didn't care about that.

Now that the abyssal demons had invaded the city, he had no intention of continuing to carry such a weak burden!

Though the captain had ordered them to protect this child, what if they didn't? What would happen then? If the captain later questioned him, he could just claim that the girl was killed by an abyssal demon attack, easily getting away with it.

Who would make trouble for a rank-five swordsman over a lowly slave girl? Besides, he was the son of a count~

Moreover,

It was still uncertain if the captain would make it back alive...

So, Grid completely abandoned controlling his strength, intending to send this burden away with a single slap. He didn't want to keep dragging such a lowly slave around!

However,

Just as Grid's hand, imbued with brown Holy energy, was about to touch the pink-haired girl's cheek, a cry of alarm from his teammate suddenly drew his full attention, causing him to halt his action,

"Ab, ab... abyssal demon?!!!"

'What?!'

'Abyssal demon?'

Hearing this, Grid's heart suddenly trembled as he violently turned his head to look at his teammate, Lan, in panic! The next moment, under the astonished gazes of the two Asumos Church knights, a six-meter-tall, sinister abyssal demon covered in purple, eerie patterns with two heads in the shape of fierce tigers suddenly descended from the sky! It landed right in the direction where they planned to escape!

This powerful abyssal demon locked its murderous gaze on Grid and Lan as soon as it stabilized its stance, letting out a bloodthirsty and ferocious roar!

"Roarrrrrrr!!!!!!"

The earth-shaking roar shattered the glass windows of nearby houses, and in an instant, shattered the courage of the two Axiom Church knights.

'An abyssal demon? And it's even rank six?!'

'How, how, how could this be?!'

In a flash, the fierce light in Grid's eyes disappeared, replaced by endless fear! His heart was already beating frantically, almost as if it was about to leap out of his chest!

However,

Compared to Grid, the bald-headed knight called Lan seemed to tremble even more.

The reason was simple; he was only three meters away from this abyssal demon!

The oppressive Shadow power emanating from the abyssal demon, the horrifying corrosive aura, and the strong smell of blood constantly stimulated the young knight's heart, causing his spirit to almost reach the breaking point.

However, under the scrutiny of the abyssal demon, any rash movement from Lan would be no different from seeking death...

Someone must distract this abyssal demon's attention so that they can seize the opportunity to escape!

'And who would be the perfect candidate?!'

'Wasn't there one right beside them?!'

Thinking of this, Lan hastily turned his head and anxiously looked at the flabbergasted Grid nearby, yelling fiercely,

"Grid! Hurry and throw that little girl in front of you over to...?!"

Unfortunately,

The knight named Lan didn't even finish his sentence,

"Boom!!!"

Accompanied by a deafening explosion,

The earth shook, and blood splattered everywhere,

Under Grid's terrified gaze, his former teammate Lan, who was in the middle of speaking, was instantly turned into a disgusting pile of minced meat by the giant abyssal demon's swipe, dead beyond any doubt.

A revolting mass, likely a liver, even flew out and splashed onto Grid's face.

Looking down at the bloody mosaic-like object that had fallen from his face to the ground,

Grid's pupils contracted suddenly,

"Lan??"

Witnessing Lan, whose strength was comparable to his own, getting killed by the abyssal demon as easily as crushing tofu, Grid's last sliver of fighting spirit was completely extinguished.

Only one thought remained in his mind: "Run!!"

Avenge his comrade?!

He'd have to be out of his mind! Who would challenge such a monster to a duel?!

Staring at the rank six abyssal demons not far away, which had already focused its attention on him, Grid suddenly revealed a complex look of terror mixed with fury.

He must escape!

But how? He couldn't possibly outrun the abyssal demon!

Wait, wait a minute...

Suddenly, the same thought that crossed Lan's mind appeared in Grid's as well!

The next moment,

Grid violently turned his head and maliciously stared at the pink-haired little girl behind him. His brown eyes were filled with cruelty.

Seeing his gaze, the pink-haired girl felt a deep sense of fear.

She seemed to have guessed Grid's intentions,

Panicking, she desperately shook her head, her azure eyes filled with terror and pleading, and even a faint trace of tears appeared.

"No, no, don't do this!"

However,

The pink-haired girl's pleas did not arouse Grid's sympathy at all.

The young knight only had one thought in his mind: how to survive. As for others, he couldn't care less!

"Come here!"

As he roared angrily, Grid ruthlessly raised his hand, mercilessly grabbing the girl's slender, fragile wrist.

The girl cried out in horror and began to struggle,

"No, have you, have you forgotten what big sister said?"

"big sister? Do you mean the captain?! Who cares about her orders now?!"

Grid let out a cold, disdainful laugh.

Subsequently, the robust young knight ignored the pink-haired girl's pitiful cries, violently swung his arm, and hurled her towards the loathsome abyssal demon behind him.

Awaiting the girl seemed to be only a hopeless fate of being torn apart.

However, Grid didn't care and felt no guilt in his heart.

Sacrificing a lowly slave for the life of a noble like him? It was absolutely worth it!

The slave should feel honored!

After a cold, silent chuckle in his heart,

Grid paid no mind to the abyssal demon's reaction behind him. After throwing the girl to the back to divert its attention, he released all the remaining holy energy in his body, sprinting forward with frantic desperation!

?!!

"No, no sound?!"

As he began to run without any restraint, Grid discovered to his delight that the rank six abyssal demons behind him showed no signs of pursuing!

That meant!

He succeeded! He could escape!! He could survive!!

The joy of narrowly escaping death surged through Grid's heart, making him involuntarily reveal a crazed smile.

However,

This smile didn't last long.

"Boom!!!"

???!

What? Again, what, what's happening?!!

The next moment,

With the ground shaking, dust flying, and spreading darkness, two abyssal demons resembling spiders with barbed bodies and eight pairs of purple eyes emerged from the ground, blocking Grid's path!

Feeling the oppressive power of shadow radiating from them,

Grid was on the verge of tears, trembling with sudden chills, as the faint glimmer of hope in his eyes was undoubtedly extinguished by the sight of despair before him.

Abyssal demons??

Another damn rank six?? What kind of joke is this?!!

The sudden appearance of the two ferocious abyssal demons once again frightened Grid, his face ashen with terror.

Instinctively, he turned around in a state of utter despair and ran back. For a moment, the young knight seemed to have forgotten that there was still a terrifying rank six entity behind him!

When Grid looked back and saw the fearsome two-headed tiger shrouded in darkness,

His heart was dragged into a bottomless abyss.

However,

Amidst the terror, after seeing the scene before him, his mind was filled with confusion, unparalleled confusion...

At that moment,

The slave girl who, in his view, should have already been torn to pieces by the two-headed tiger, was actually unscathed?!! She was standing right in front of the abyssal demon?! Even petting its head?!!

"WTF?!!"

Trembling, Grid pointed at the pink-haired girl, already beginning to doubt his own eyes,

"You, you, what on earth... what on earth did you do???"
