Melissa's breathing was faint and weak at times, and hurried and anxious at others.

In her eyes was an emotion mixed with despair, pleading, and pain.

The more she spoke to the black-haired, green-eyed girl, the more she felt her brain go blank.

"..."

Lan Qi had originally planned to try summoning the strongest Illusion Great Love Poet when he was alone, and then spar with her. If he could win, he might become a new Great Demon before reuniting with Huberian and Antanas.

But now he had encountered a warden who had accidentally become addicted to the Great Love Poet and was even forced to summon the Illusion Great Love Poet.

It seemed that ordinary persuasion couldn't calm the warden's emotions. If he continued to talk to her or delay, she might really lose her mind completely.

"The Great Love Poet is indeed a scourge. A good warden has been turned into this by her voice."

Lan Qi sighed inwardly.

Now, the only way was to use the "Ferrat-style Emotion Calming Method" to help Warden Melissa.

And he would have to strike harder later to suppress the Great Love Poet, that crooked demonic entity, with all his strength.

As Lan Qi's fighting spirit rose, the barrier magic on the fifth sub-level began to surge, as if gathering from afar to give birth to a terrifying illusionary monster.

Warden Melissa was certain that the black-haired, green-eyed girl had finally started according to her request. Her eyes seemed to find peace from a state of chaos.

At this moment, her whole world revolved around that instant of anticipation and joy.

Even though there was no new figure appearing on the corridor where they stood, a cold and heavy sense of oppression filled the air.

Then, at the end of the corridor, black mist gradually began to gather, slowly swirling. The black mist spread across the ground like a tide, eerie and turbid. After a long while, a faint, slender figure finally emerged from its depths.

Warden Melissa stared intently at it.

It was the figure of a gray-haired girl. Her long hair gently fluttered, and she wore the same mask as the black-haired girl. However, the bright smile in the gray-haired figure's eyes was completely different.

The captivating blue pupils seemed to scatter flames in the mist, like stars in the abyss, both cold and enchanting, full of irresistible bewitchment.

The lights of the rune lamps near the entire corridor flickered around the Illusion Great Love Poet until the black mist on her body slowly faded, revealing her demonic figure like an evil goddess of love.

The way she stepped out of the black mist was as if a true eighth-order Great Demon had been born there.

Generally speaking, the illusionary body copied by [Hopeless Extinction War] would ignore all disguise magic.

This meant that the black-haired, green-eyed girl's original appearance should have been gray hair and blue eyes.

But Warden Melissa couldn't bother thinking about those irrelevant things at this moment.

She no longer cared what the other party was!

The moment the illusion appeared, Warden Melissa saw an angel and rushed towards her like a shadow with her sword in hand.

However.

Just as she was about to touch the Illusion Great Love Poet.

"Thank you, you two idiots."

The Illusion Great Love Poet took off her mask and whispered to Warden Melissa as if exhaling on her.

Suddenly, Warden Melissa felt as if she had been electrocuted. Then, she gradually bent over, her bones melting as she completely lost her balance and collapsed to the ground.

Finally, she twitched weakly on the ground, her life uncertain.

She had reached the extreme of some emotion and completely lost her fighting ability.

"..."

Lan Qi looked at Warden Melissa's appearance and found it a little difficult to judge how high the eighth-order Great Love Poet's emotional amplification rate had been adapted to.

The warden's brain might have been fried.

But there shouldn't be a cerebral hemorrhage. It was hard to define whether her current state was "good" or "bad."

Even from her expression, there was a sense of satisfaction like, "If I hear the Dao in the morning, I can die in the evening."

In any case, if she wasn't sent for treatment in time, there would likely be a danger to her life, and even if she was rescued, there might be some aftereffects.

A gentle exhalation could instantly kill a seventh-order human powerhouse, making her an extremely unique existence even among eighth-order Great Demons.

Although Lan Qi personally felt that the Great Love Poet was the demon ranked second on the "Useless Demon Ranking," every time he saw the Great Love Poet having an unpredictable influence on other living beings, he wondered if he should adjust her ranking downward, especially this eighth-order version of the Great Love Poet, which really seemed to have some strength.

Just as Lan Qi was analyzing,

"Why... why aren't you afraid of me?"

The Illusion Great Love Poet's demonic voice echoed, seemingly dissatisfied that the black-haired, green-eyed version of herself was not affected by the demonic voice.

Moreover, she felt that this guy seemed to be thinking about some damned things.

She inexplicably felt that he was very impolite. That calm gaze seemed to be seriously comparing whether she or a paramecium was more advanced.

"?"

Lan Qi looked up at the Illusion Great Love Poet in confusion.

"I can control your emotions, make you willingly fall for me."

The Illusion Great Love Poet raised her chin meaningfully,

"If you beat me, you can get an extremely rare Great Demon mark. Unfortunately, you can't do it in this lifetime."

Her confident expression made her feel like she was the greatest demon in the world.

Lan Qi chuckled, as if he had been amused by her.

"What are you laughing at?"

The Illusion Great Love Poet slightly noticed that the other party didn't seem to be moved by her demonic voice.

However, this was the case for creatures with stable states of mind. It was just that she hadn't started to seriously mobilize the other party's emotions yet.

She knew very well what kind of personality she had. Her main body couldn't be unaffected by a hundredfold increase in emotions.

"I'm not laughing."

Even though the black-haired, green-eyed Great Love Poet was wearing a mask, it made people suspect that he was actually holding back a laugh.

This was the most difficult "don't laugh" challenge he had ever played.

"..."

The Illusion Great Love Poet stared at Lan Qi.

She always felt that the other party's eyes were carrying a hint of pity, trying to take care of her feelings.

This strange air made the Illusion Great Love Poet not understand why her main body had a completely different personality from her.

According to the principle of knowing yourself and your enemy, the other party should be constantly mocking her at this time.

Her personality was to ridicule her opponents no matter what, and then torture them severely and smack them in the face after winning, instead of calmly pitying them like this from the beginning.

Observing the black-haired, green-eyed girl's expression, the Illusion Great Love Poet gradually felt that the other party hadn't removed the mask to release the demonic voice because he was afraid of laughing out loud and hurting her heart.

The contempt in those eyes seemed to be saying—

What's the use of you, a vase, even if you're eighth-order?

The Illusion Great Love Poet was instantly furious!

No one dared to humiliate her like this!!
