The supporting character's harem is very normal

Dorothy had given up resisting because she understood that this space had formed a completely different type of rule than the outside world.

But Arine is different; her level was still low, so she could not sense this. That’s why she continued to struggle.

But no matter how much she struggled and resisted, she couldn’t resist the rules of this space.

The Eye of Puzzle looked towards Lathel and said: “Very good! Then you owe me a life. I will let them live, but you, Ikarys, and the two girls will approach the Demon Lord’s seal.”

“However… after the Demon Lord’s seal is completely reinforced, you must stay here forever to guard that seal.”

“That means… I will become the seal keeper, right?” Lathel seemed to guess something and immediately said.

“That’s right.” Eye of Puzzle replied: “You will also become an existence like me, forever staying here, forever watching over this place, becoming a challenge to stop those who want to revive the Demon Lord.”

Lathel frowned upon hearing that; however, he immediately replied without thinking: “I accept!”

Arine, Dorothy: “??!!” ƒreewebɳovel.com

Both of them opened their eyes wide, looking at him with disbelief. It seemed that Lathel did not think or hesitate for a single moment.

It was as if he was waiting for the Eye of Puzzle to finish speaking before responding.

Dorothy felt extremely strange at this time; she felt as if her heart was beating faster and stronger.

Arine cried, her face red, because she was emotional.

The Eye of Puzzle smiled and said: “Good! Then… you should remember, you owe me your life; after you successfully strengthen the Demon Lord’s seal, you… will become my friend.”

The Eye of Puzzle said as it disappeared.

When it completely disappeared, a magic formation appeared under Lathel’s feet, and in the middle of it was a black vortex.

“This…” Before Lathel could say anything, he was swept into that black vortex.

…

“Can you see clearly?”

He looked towards the wall, where the Eye of Puzzle no longer was, but its voice still echoed in Ikarys’s head.

“That’s why I favour him, because he deserves it.”

Hearing that, Ikarys gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. In the end… everything got out of his control.

He thought that Arine and Dorothy would die and that no one would spread his selfishness and greed.

However… Lathel messed things up again.

“Huh! Just a trash and stupid person.” Ikarys said contemptuously: “Because he was greedy for the beauty of those two girls, that’s why he acted so foolishly.”

“As a man, you cannot sacrifice yourself for a few women. As a man, you must do great things and have huge achievements; women are just stepping stones or toys.”

“Do you realise there is a contradiction in your words?” The eye of Puzzle spoke up.

“Contradiction?”

“That’s right. It contradicts the answer to the second question.”

That’s right, Ikarys’ answer to the second question was flowery talk about his respect for women.

However, what he just said threw his entire image of a gentle and warm Holy Son into the mud.

Hearing that, Ikarys was startled. He gritted his teeth and tried to explain: “You… that… to do important things, you don’t need to care about small details.”

“Someone like him cannot strengthen the Demon Lord’s seal. I am the chosen one; I can do anything; I am the child of the will of the world, the child of destiny.”

Ikarys spoke seriously with anger. He thought that no one would know what happened in this place, so he could tell his own version of the truth.

“Eye of Puzzle, I know you are not satisfied with my expression and thoughts. However… this world is like that.”

“This world is a giant stage; whoever has better acting skills will capture the hearts of many audiences.”

“I am also like this; however, I have a much greater mission. I can’t die here; I have to keep moving forward and keep growing stronger.”

“Even if you are not satisfied, you must accept that… I… am the one who has all the qualities to stand at the top of this world.”

The Eye of Puzzle didn’t answer, but a sigh rang out. That sigh carried countless words that could not be expressed in sentences.

That sigh carried with it a huge disappointment, a feeling of despair, of not wanting to believe in what was happening.

“Go inside; you can reach the place where the Demon Lord’s seal is placed.”

The Eye of Puzzle’s voice rang out, then… its voice no longer appeared.

Ikarys sighed, trying to calm down. He also didn’t understand why he lost his temper like that.

A moment later, he stepped into that black vortex.

As soon as he entered, he felt a little dizzy, then saw a strange space in front of him.

This place was like a giant altar, surrounded by water, but whether it was really water or not, Ikarys didn’t know.

The altar is like an island emerging in the middle of an endless ocean. Ikarys tried to look into the distance, but he couldn’t see anything because the place was covered in fog.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

The sound of the wind whistling caused Ikarys to be startled, and he immediately retreated.

In the sky, another black vortex also appeared, and three people fell out of that vortex, falling to the ground.

BAM!

Lathel quickly hugged Arine and Dorothy, as he tried to ground himself. His feet stepped on the ground so hard that it cracked.

Luckily, Dorothy and Arine were both safe.

Seeing this place, there was nothing unusual. Even when Lathel saw Ikarys, he could guess that this place was the final test.

No, to be more precise, this place is where the Demon Lord’s seal is located.

He breathed a sigh of relief and let go of Arine and Dorothy.

At this point, both girls were able to move again, and they immediately hugged him tightly.

“Lathel! Are you crazy? Why accept the Eye of Puzzle’s request?”

“Brother, will you stay here forever?”

Lathel sighed and patted their backs: “Don’t worry, after reinforcing the Demon Lord’s seal, I will find a way to get out of this place.”

“Are you telling the truth?” Arine asked worriedly.

“Of course.” Lathel calmly said: “I am a person who is very afraid of death and boredom. There are many beauties outside, and I don’t want to stay here forever.”

Arine saw how calm he was, so she trusted him: “Uhm! I believe you.”

Dorothy glanced at Arine, then at Lathel, feeling a slight pain in her chest, as if she were about to lose something very important.

“Enough!” Ikarys suddenly shouted: “Are you here to act out this melodrama?”

Arine was angry when she heard that, and she looked at Ikarys angrily: “Holy Son, you have no right to say those words.”

“Right? I have that qualification.” Ikarys no longer pretended to be a warm and gentle Holy Son; he directly revealed his true nature: “Do you think he protects you because he likes you?”

“Wrong! You are wrong, Holy Maiden. He just likes your appearance. A trash person like him, his thoughts are just stupid.”

“Even if he likes my appearance, I’m happy about it.” Arine stood up and said angrily: “At least… he dared to sacrifice his life to let me live.”

“And you… you always say that he is trash and stupid. However, I feel like you are worse than trash.”

“You…” Ikarys gritted his teeth; his hands were clenched so tightly that they turned white.

“Well…” Arine frowned and said: “What do you want to do? You want to kill me? You can try, Holy Son.”

Ikarys frowned, snorted contemptuously, and said: “Huh! I won’t do that because I trust that you will be alert and understand what I just said.”

“To do important things, sacrifices are needed. You must know that… I chose not to save you in order to save more of you.”

“The demon Lord is terrible. If the Demon Lord can destroy the seal, it will be the last day of this continent.”

“But if I sacrifice one person to save many people, even if I could choose again, I would still choose not to save you.”

Ikary’s words were filled with cold, murderous intent. However, Arine didn’t seem to be afraid; she just stared at him as if she wanted to tear him into a million pieces.

“Holy Maiden… You should think carefully about your decision.” Ikarys said slowly: “You are confronting me for a trash person; that is an extremely stupid action.”

“If you pretend today never happened, we will still be friends. In the future, if you are in danger, I will still save you.”

“You should remember, Lathel cannot leave this place. When the Genius Congress ends and the seal is successfully reinforced, he will be imprisoned in this place forever.”

Hearing that, Arine was both angry and desperate. She looked at Ikarys and said: “If he stays here forever, I will also stay here with him.”
