Chapter 283 (1): Didn’t Expect This, Did You?
The black dragon shrank, transforming into a half-dragon, half-human form. Clad in a black robe and a mask woven from the power of Darkness, she stood behind the Darkness Knight. Then her body continued to shrink, her slender figure revealing that she was female.
Facing the female elves’ adoration, Auston hadn’t refused or responded. He hadn’t done that because he was lecherous, but because he had to establish a distinctive persona as a newcomer with a hidden identity.
Given he hadn’t fully awakened and lacked sufficient power, he knew that he was absolutely no match for the chosen knights of Nature, Sun, and Moon. He was wary of them and feared for his life, so he had not dared to set foot in the Frozen Land.
Now that he had arrived, he had to create a persona with a noticeable weakness for those seeking to target him.
With weaknesses came desires, and those with desires were easier to manipulate and move against. That was true everywhere.
Auston had prepared several potential personas. Arriving here, he realized to his shock that there were plenty of beautiful female dark elves in the Land of Seal. He decisively abandoned the other imperfect plans and picked up the playboy persona he had used in Londan. He played it with such ease that it didn’t seem like acting.
He had to admit that he was a veteran actor quite skilled at playing a player!
Wayne similarly favored the pervert persona to pretend to have a weakness. Only he stopped pretending after a while and even claimed pitifully that he had gotten too deep into the character to recover himself.
Megan saw the beautiful dark elves approaching, clearly ready to offer themselves tonight. She took two steps forward to Auston’s side, unleashing a faint draconic aura to barely clear the area around them.
Silvia stared. Although it was the right move and what she had asked Megan to do, something felt off. She hoped that she was overthinking it.
Wayne was delighted. He spoke up as an impartial bystander, “How popular the Darkness Knight is. He came to the Church of Darkness’s base like he was coming home, Mr. Moula. He appears to be a pervert, and the female elves aren’t going to turn him down. Forgive my bluntness, but are you sure he will have any energy left to fight?”
Veins bulged on Silvia’s forehead. She wasn’t immune to such provocation.
