The SSS Ranked Villain's Return-Chapter 66: The Second Seal *

Just as those words left Neraxis’s mouth, Sarah suddenly dashed back to him, and in the next moment, the entire lair below was engulfed in silver flames.

"AAAAAAAAAAA!" The Demon’s shriek resounded, muffled by the flames engulfing it.

And not even a few seconds later, the screaming died down, and what greeted his eyes was a red kill notification.

[1x (B Ranked Special Monster) Shadow Demon Slain! Reward: Stigmata 92.26% -> 100%]

[Stigmata: Fragment of Calamity Has Reached 100%]

[Would you like to release the seal?]

[Y/Y]

Glancing to the side, Neraxis saw Sarah standing with furrowed brows, mumbling something into her earpiece.

Taking that as the perfect moment to relax, he clicked Yes, and just like last time, disappeared from where he stood.

However, this time, Neraxis found himself in some massive cathedral, with golden rays of light shining down through the glass ceiling.

And in front of him stood Evangeline, in a casual black dress, looking at him with a smile.

"Heya, didn’t make me wait this time," she said with a soft hum, before walking over to him and stretching out her hand.

"Come with me, Neraxis."

Tilting his head, he readily accepted, putting his hand onto hers as she suddenly interlocked their fingers.

"...Evangeline," he let out a sigh, but she seemed to ignore him, merely leading him through the halls with a wide smile on her face.

"Can you at least tell me where we are going?" he questioned, and she quickly turned around, her crimson eyes meeting his own.

"To my room, of course. Where else?"

As her words fell, his heart skipped a beat.

Noticing this, she let out a giggle.

"Hahaha... We’re not doing anything like that," Evangeline stated before turning around and trailing off in a whisper, "Not yet anyway..."

"What was that?" he asked, but did not receive an answer. Instead, she returned to leading the way, until eventually, they arrived in front of a giant door seemingly made out of pure gold.

Without waiting a moment, Evangeline waved her hand, and immediately, the door creaked open, revealing a massive bedroom, with a miniature throne by the circular bed.

Taking him inside, she sat Neraxis down on the bed and soon ran into what appeared to be a walk-in closet, closing the closet door behind her.

Just what is she doing...? Neraxis felt uneasy, not because he was in a woman’s room all alone and had no experience with even being in one...

Damn. Realizing that it was really the case, he lied down on the bed, finding it peculiarly comfy.

But before Neraxis could rest, the closet door shot open, with Evangeline appearing in his sight.

His eyes widened as he looked her up and down.

In the short moment she was gone, Evangeline changed into a stylish red dress, with a white ribbon tied around her waist.

"How do I look?" she twirled around, showcasing her perfect body and slender legs.

All the while, Neraxis was speechless.

But he could indeed acknowledge one thing in particular, "You look beautiful."

"Hehe..." she let out a soft giggle before turning her back to him, revealing the string holding up the white ribbon.

"Pull on it," Evangeline said in a teasing tone.

However, instead of doing that, Neraxis pulled her back, making her land on his lap.

"You really are testing me," he stated while embracing her slim waist, earning a surprised gasp in response.

"Hey!" Evangeline began squirming in his grasp, her face visibly turning red as she twisted her body around, and now sat face to face.

"Why are you so bold all of a sudden?"

Neraxis rolled his eyes at her comment before suddenly flinging himself back.

Evangeline was caught off guard, landing right on his chest, the two practically sinking into the comfy bed.

But not quite, as they stared into each other’s eyes, both their hearts practically beating out of their chests.

However, Neraxis proceeded to raise his hand, placing it on her delicate cheek.

"Still want to tease me?"

As his words hung in the air, Evangeline suddenly leaned down towards him, placing a kiss on his cheek before attempting to push off.

Before she could do that, however, Neraxis grabbed hold of her arm, pulling Evangeline back in and onto the bed, with him now towering over her.

Instead of commenting on what she had done, he followed his impulses, leaning down and delivering a soft kiss on her lips.

He thought that would be the end of it, but soon, Evangeline wrapped her arms around his neck, stopping him from pulling back as she clung to him, slightly lifted off the bed.

"Where do you think you’re going?" her words rang out, and without a moment’s hesitation, her lips wrapped around his.

Startled as Neraxis was, he returned the kiss in kind, continuing until the two of them were out of breath.

Evangeline suddenly let go of his neck, falling onto the bed sheets with a completely red face, sweat dripping down, making her skin practically glow.

All he could think of in this moment was her, and only her.

"Evangeline..." Neraxis’s hands traveled up her thighs, with her not resisting in the slightest.

However, all good things must come to an end when, all of a sudden, a red system message appeared before his eyes.

[Time Until Forceful Ejection: 1 Minute]

It seemed like both of them managed to see the message, and in the same manner, their disappointed expressions were clear apparent.

Evangeline reluctantly sat beside him, clearing her throat before saying, "It seems like our fun time is going to have to end a bit early..."

He could only nod in response, feeling awkward. "Yeah..."

"Fret not! The skill is a bit better than last time because of the excess mana!" she suddenly spoke, trying to ease the embarrassment both of them were going through as she took hold of Neraxis’s arm.

Immediately, the sensation of a warm breeze passed through his body, reminding him of the many kisses the two just had.

Yet instead of another kiss, he was met with a red system window, displaying the new skill.

And upon seeing what it was, Neraxis’s eyes widened.

"Evangeline... I don’t know what to say." Neraxis was speechless while reading the skill’s description.

Just like any other skill he had, this one was overpowered, and it gave him the ability to be immune to physical attacks for a short moment.

Better yet, the Special Passive allowed him to create blood constructs, so either golems or puppets made of blood.

It was amazing, and he had no one but Evangeline to thank.

[Time Until Forceful Ejection: 10 Seconds]

The timer once again appeared, which the two of them noticed immediately.

And without hesitation, they ran to embrace one another, planting a passionate kiss on each other’s lips, that lasted all the way up until the last second, to where Evangeline backed off, her face even redder than it had been before.

"Let’s continue this another time," she said, and before he could even respond, his vision shifted.

Immediately, he found himself back in the rancid tunnels, with Sarah glaring at him.

Yet the one who spoke was Amara.

<You are to return back to base. It’s a job well done, Neraxis.> she praised, to which he absentmindedly nodded.

"...Roger that."
