The Villain’s Cheat Code: When a Gamer Becomes the Evil God’s Sidekick

Chapter 44: Please Don’t Embrace Your Fiancée at a Time Like This

Gwen stared intently at Viktor.

She was very flustered now, the failure of her Heart of Justice meant she couldn't see through whether Viktor was telling the truth or not.

How could this incident be related to a demon?

"Demon? What's a demon?"

"I don't know, what is that?"

Many people present had never even heard of demons, and were completely confused about everything that had just happened.

But Professor Devin being taken away was something they had witnessed with their own eyes.

Viktor had no time to explain to these people, he only needed to make them doubt whether Devin was associated with those things they just saw.

"Have you located the position?" Viktor communicated with Vega in his mind.

"It's not far, just at the back mountain of the academy," Vega patted its chest, flying back to Viktor's shoulder, replying confidently.

Viktor knew that if Henie was truly seduced by the demon and her mind was affected, she would absolutely not let Devin Reiser go.

The demon would gradually amplify others' negative emotions, and Henie's hatred would be the best feed for the demon.

In the end, no matter what method was used, Devin Reiser would definitely be taken away.

And all he needed to do was to manipulate public opinion a little, and he could make the suspicion of the demon cling to Devin Reiser.

Viktor had placed a magic mark on Devin Reiser, even if he left the capital, Vega would be able to sense the location of the magic mark through the link established between them.

Naturally, it would be easy to find that guy.

Now, Viktor's task is complete.

He just needed to wait.

Wait until the demon actively bares its fangs, then personally deal with it.

Suddenly, Viktor "abruptly" felt a wave of dizziness, holding his forehead, his body swaying significantly.

Due to the influence of the barrier, his stance was unstable now, as if he might completely collapse at any moment.

"Viktor..."

Seeing Viktor's swaying body, Gwen instinctively had an urge to raise her hand, wanting to step forward to steady him, but the surrounding gazes made her hesitate and stop.

But just at this moment, a knight subordinate beside her also seemed to feel dizzy, lost his balance, and his shoulder bumped into Gwen.

She was caught off guard, stumbled, and ended up in front of Viktor.

She looked up, and right in front of her was the dizzy Viktor.

Gwen was dumbfounded, standing in the square, not knowing whether to move or not.

But seeing Viktor's weak appearance just now, she encouraged herself.

"It's just supporting him, he saved me before, this is nothing."

Having found a reason for herself, she stepped forward and supported Viktor with both hands.

"Viktor, how are you?"

As she supported him, Viktor's body inevitably stiffened a bit, he turned his head, looking at Gwen with a somewhat surprised gaze.

What's going on?

He was just pretending, you know?

Even if the formation had some effect on him as a fourth-tier mage, it shouldn't be this severe.

But after all, he had just 'struggled' with the demon for a while, in others' eyes, his physical strength must have decreased.

Viktor wanted to explain, but on second thought, he collapsed into Gwen's arms.

Meanwhile, he pretended to sound very weak as well.

"Support me a bit..."

Don't misunderstand, this isn't taking advantage.

It's just to make his innocence more thorough.

Gwen was initially afraid to move, her face turning red with embarrassment in front of so many people, but hearing Viktor's weak voice, her righteous and kind nature couldn't help but burst with sympathy.

"Viktor, he must be very tired..."

Even if he faced the contempt and curses of thousands, he didn't offer any explanation.

Even if he would be misunderstood by everyone.

Some mages who were still somewhat clear-headed actively asked:

"What exactly happened? And what's this about a demon?"

"Are you saying Professor Devin is actually the problematic one!? How is that possible?"

"My brain is already confused, I feel like this barrier is affecting my intelligence!"

"What's for lunch today?"

"No, why are Knight Commander Gwen and Viktor embracing in public?"

Gwen: "..."

"Quiet!"

A knight from the corps shouted, making the mages present shut their mouths.

Gwen bent down to kneel, holding Viktor in her arms, trying to make him as comfortable as possible.

After that, she addressed the mages in front of her:

"Any questions will be answered one by one after the situation is investigated thoroughly."

"For now, please stay quietly in the academy and wait for rescue."

"And! Let Viktor rest for a while!"

The many mages closed their mouths.

Some nobles who knew the two were engaged were puzzled.

It was said that Viktor and Gwen didn't get along well, but how could this loving couple be called not getting along?

Who spread such rumors!

Absolute nonsense!

Vega stood on the ground, looking at the pretending-to-be-unconscious Viktor with some exasperation.

Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills.

I wonder how you plan to get off the stage later.

Suddenly, Vega raised its head, as if sensing something, it narrowed its eye.

The faint blue light flashing under its single eye observed the surroundings.

'Viktor, stop sleeping.'

'That girl from the Duke's family is approaching that thing.'

As the first believer who contributed power to Vega, there was a very clear one-way connection between Vega and Erica.

Vega could sense where Erica was at any time, but Erica couldn't feel Vega's presence.

Under this one-way connection, it instantly detected that Erica was approaching the back mountain.

'That little girl is my only believer right now, don't let her die.'

Viktor naturally knew about Vega's exposure to Erica, and using saving him as an excuse, it had gained this believer.

'Really troublesome.'

Viktor replied to Vega in his heart, then 'struggled' to open his eyes.

"Gwen, hand... reach in..."

"Hm? Ah???"

Gwen was dumbfounded, her face turning red, her speech becoming incoherent.

"Vi... Viktor, what... what... what are you saying..."

"In the coat, there's my potion."

Bang!

As if a huge bomb had been detonated, Gwen's brain instantly went blank.

She just realized she had misunderstood, quickly closed her mouth, and reached into Viktor's coat to search for a while.

Viktor willed it, and teleported a blue potion from his player inventory into the coat.

Gwen quickly found it, took it out, it was a small blue vial.

"Is it this?"

She looked at Viktor, this style seemed almost the same as the few vials of potion Viktor had given her before.

Only the color was different.

She was about to hand it to Viktor, but realized that Viktor was now too weak to even raise his arm, so she hurriedly brought the potion to Viktor's lips.

"Viktor, open your mouth."

Viktor opened his mouth, and Gwen slowly poured the potion into Viktor's mouth.

After doing all this, she breathed a sigh of relief, looked up and saw countless people staring at her.

Including her subordinate knights.

Gwen blinked, asking the surrounding knights.

"What are you looking at me for?"

"Nothing, nothing, Knight Commander."

The knight said somewhat sheepishly.

"Just feel that, Viscount Viktor, um....... is really fortunate."

"Huh?"

It was then that Gwen realized what an absurd thing she had done.

However, Viktor in her arms moved.

Gwen had no time to think too much, she was surprised to see Viktor support himself with one hand on the ground and stand up, as if his spirit had instantly recovered.

"Vi... Viktor? Are you alright?"

"Thank you, Gwen."

He stood up, adjusting his coat.

Everyone was once again stunned.

Wasn't he on the verge of death just now? How did he suddenly recover now?

What kind of miraculous medicine did you drink? Is it that ridiculous?

Even if you're acting, shouldn't you pretend a bit better!

Suddenly, Viktor called out a few names.

"Professor Neil, Professor Dison, Professor Gaia....."

The people whose names were called were among the few third-tier mages in the academy.

These professors collectively looked at Viktor.

"Professor Viktor, is there something?"

Viktor gave a simple explanation.

"As you can see, the academy has been sealed by the power of the demon."

"Before long, our strength will be completely dissipated, and by then, each of you will become a meal for the demon."

Hearing these words, the mages instantly shuddered, and the few professors whose names were called hurriedly stood up.

"If you don't want to sit and wait for death, then come with me to break the formation."

Hearing Viktor's words, the few professors looked at each other, saying somewhat helplessly:

"Professor Viktor, our magic power is constantly being drained, we simply can't recover."

"We have the will, but not the strength."

As soon as the words fell, Viktor took out several vials identical to the one he had just drunk from his coat, accurately throwing them to those few mages.

They hurriedly caught them, and before they could clearly see the color in the glass bottles, they heard Viktor suddenly say:

"Drink it."

These people all thought about how Viktor had drunk it before, hesitated for a moment, then all tilted their heads back and drank it.

Soon...

"Ah?"

"Hm?"

"Holy shit?"

The reactions of the few mages were more or less the same, without exception, they looked at their bodies emitting a faint blue glow.

Their magic power had instantly recovered about half.

"This! It's a miraculous medicine!"

At first, they still suspected Viktor was acting.

Acting? Acting my ass!

He didn't need to act at all, sincerity was the greatest killer move.

Those few mages were still immersed in the wonderful feeling when Viktor's voice drifted over.

"One thousand Geo per bottle."

"The knights are all here watching, don't try to default on payment."

A group of mages were stunned on the spot.

"How much? One thousand Geo?"

Hearing this voice, many students and some mages present showed difficult expressions.

But the few professors who had drunk the potion almost said in unison.

"This is too cheap!"

"Professor Viktor! Sell me a few more bottles! No, ten bottles! Twenty bottles, okay?"

"Professor Viktor, you say where do we go now? If you tell me to go east, I absolutely won't go west! Even if you tell me to catch dogs today, I definitely won't chase chickens!"

"I've long disliked that pig Devin! Nothing more to say, Professor! Today, whether it's a demon or not, I'm with you!"

Seeing the few professors get excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood, the clear-headed people present all became bewildered.

Gwen was still kneeling on the ground, for a moment not reacting.

After a long while, she tilted her head, blinked her eyes.

"Huh?"
