For Alice, today was undoubtedly a nightmare.

The escort team, tasked with protecting the princess, was unexpectedly attacked by a tribe of orcs from who knows where on this plain. Almost all of the accompanying personnel were wiped out, and the princess was captured by the orcs.

In order to save the princess, Alice took out the family's ancestral treasure - the Ring of the Savior. According to legend, when faced with a crisis, the person whose magical power is compatible with this ring can summon a powerful being with invincible strength.

But the result of the summoning was that Alice was pushed into a deeper nightmare and abyss.

A high-ranking demon!

When Alice saw the pitch-black wings behind the man, she immediately understood what she had summoned. It was an evil entity far more terrifying than the orcs.

Now, as an excellent magician, Alice could vaguely sense a strong aura of evil emanating from him. Just the evil aura radiating from him was enough for Alice to feel the immense gap in magical power.

No wonder the arrogant orcs had instinctively fled at the sight of this winged monster.

"Knock, knock, knock..." The sound of footsteps came from the ground.

Alice saw the evil creature approach her. Although his appearance was no different from an ordinary human except for the black wings behind him and the crimson eyes, Alice instinctively felt terror.

Her body curled up involuntarily and moved backward. But her body was already against the wall, and she had nowhere to retreat. From the gaze of the demon, Alice also vaguely sensed a sense of resentment.

Perhaps the demon was about to kill her; her chances of survival were slim in the face of such a huge power disparity.

Despair filled Alice's heart. But her left hand, concealed in her clothes, still clenched tightly around the dagger.

Despite the vast difference in power, even though she was about to die, as a righteous magician, she absolutely could not compromise with evil. Even if her death could inflict a slight injury on the creature, she wanted the demon to know the unwavering will of humans.

Although she had such thoughts in her mind, Alice found her body trembling uncontrollably.

By now, the demon had already arrived in front of her, squatting down and looking at her.

In the next moment, Alice's heart began to race. Her left hand, gripping the dagger, suddenly felt weak and powerless. Her body curled up even tighter, and she found that her innate fear had eroded her determination to resist. Her gaze also avoided the eyes of the demon.

But even so, Alice forcefully opened her rosy lips and tried to say words of defiance to the demon.

"You... you..."

But when she spoke, she felt as if she had been plunged into an endless abyss. Faced with the mighty demon, even though she opened her mouth, she couldn't speak because of fear, only uttering meaningless and feeble words.

What happened next made Alice even more terrified and humiliated.

The demon actually placed his filthy hand on her face.

Immediately, Alice's body trembled violently as if she had been electrocuted.

This was the first time Alice had been touched by a man.

And she immediately realized what the demon was about to do next.

Just like the orcs before, the demon was going to humiliate her.

The girl felt hopeless.

Not only because she knew she couldn't escape this insult, but also because she found that even when the demon touched her, her body was unable to move due to fear. Her left hand, gripping the dagger, felt as if it were nonexistent.

At this moment, the demon's hand slowly moved from her face towards her neck, seemingly ready to continue downward.

A sense of resistance emerged in Alice's heart, but she found that her body, paralyzed by fear, could not move. Apart from silently enduring the humiliation, she couldn't do anything.

In the end, Alice could only helplessly close her eyes, and tears slowly streamed down her cheeks.

She knew that her pure body would inevitably suffer merciless violation from the demon.

......

But then, something strange happened that puzzled Alice.

The demon's hand actually left her body. And he didn't do anything more to her.But the girl still didn't dare to open her eyes. She worried that if she did, she would see something even more cruel.

But in the end, Alice couldn't resist.

So she witnessed an incredible scene in her vision.

The demon stood not far away, and the space in front of him was twisted. The arcane power hidden in the space was forced out from the void and condensed into an arcane barrier.

What was this demon doing, as if casting an extremely advanced arcane spell?

Although Alice was only seventeen years old, she was a highly talented mage in the kingdom. Although the magic performed by the demon far exceeded Alice's abilities, she could still vaguely understand what was happening.

To twist space so easily, to condense arcane magic like this. Even mages who have practiced for decades would not be able to achieve this so easily.

And yet, this demon cast his spells so effortlessly. But what was his purpose?

Could it be!

Alice thought of an unproven magical theory.

That is, by opening some kind of portal in this world, monsters from other worlds can be brought into this world.

Could this demon be trying to disturb the void in the space by condensing the arcane barrier, further expanding the emptiness of this space, enlarging the arcane barrier, and ultimately breaking through the limitations of space, bringing other demons from another dimension...

But at that moment, Alice saw the demon touch his head, and the arcane barrier turned into a bright light and disappeared.

.......

Did she overthink it? The other party actually dispelled the spell.

But Alice felt that she couldn't be wrong. The other party must have had a very profound purpose in casting the spell. The demon wouldn't be performing such a complicated magic just to use the arcane barrier as a mirror to look at his own face.

While Alice was contemplating, she noticed that the demon man was approaching her again. Her body involuntarily curled up, but this time Alice's gaze was fixed on the demon. She realized that because of that momentary gasp, she regained some courage, and her left hand holding the dagger regained some strength.

But then, the demon's actions took Alice by surprise once again.

The black wings behind the demon unexpectedly dissipated. He crouched down, a friendly expression appeared on his face, and he even reached out his right hand towards her.

"Can you stand up?"
