Chereads / Rise of the Evil Spirit / Chapter 21 - Life Opportunity

Chapter 21 - Life Opportunity

"What are the chances of winning if you strike before the third full moon?" He unconsciously gulped before the green haired man said his chances of defeating the Evil Fox Spirit.

"For now it's 5% chance, but if it's past the 3rd full moon then the percentage will be 1%. No... my chance should be 0%." He confidently explained what percent chance he had of defeating the Evil Fox Spirit.

"Z-zero percent?! That's called suicide! Maybe you'll end up being sent to the afterlife by the Evil Fox Spirit and his subordinates instead." Elvira was astonished to find that he had almost no chance of winning.

"I know that, 5% is just the percentage I beat her, and I'm not after her. And we can't pass up this last chance." Despite such a small chance, he didn't look scared at all and still decided to fight the Evil Fox Spirit.

"Do you intend to secretly kidnap Olive in the capital's Evil Spirit lair?" Remembering how good he was at sneaking made her sure that he had absolutely no intention of fighting the Evil Fox Spirit head-on.

"That's true, but I need your help to increase the percentage of success and speed up saving your sister. Remember, if I fail it means your sister's life can't be saved either." Even though he has promised to save Olive, he will not do it alone. He needs the help of a royal princess who has a blessing.

"I will do it!" Without worrying about the risk of their plan, she immediately agreed to help him.

"As a princess, I like your concern for your sister. You just need to practice controlling the absorption of the White Rukh Energy before the third full moon arrives. Although I'm allergic to the energy you've gathered but I know the concept of strengthening you until the day of receiving your blessings arrives." The green-haired man was quite impressed by Elvira's kindness to Olive. Even though she is safe, she dares to risk her life to save her sister.

Actually, it wasn't an allergy that he felt when he was near the White Rukh that Elvira collected. As an Evil Spirit he is the enemy of the positive energy around Elvira because he comes from the negative energy of the Black Rukh.

"The third full moon? If I'm not mistaken last week I just saw the full moon, could it be that I missed it?!" Elvira was short of breath and almost fell when she remembered that last week she spent the night staring at the beautiful full moon.

The green-haired man was surprised to see Elvira suddenly short of breath. But after knowing what happened, he immediately explained it.

"That's only the second. Full moon I mean the third Full Moon of one of the astronomical seasons in which there are four Full Moons."

She immediately breathed a sigh of relief after knowing that there was still time to save Olvie.

"Phew, I thought it was too late. Eh, if you mean the Seasonal Blue Moon, then the third full moon will fall on my birthday." Elvira looked at the calendar and counted the days to the third full moon.

"That's a good thing. The chances of success will be higher." Hearing Elvira's statement made the Evil Spirit look even more convinced that he could keep his promise.

"Then how do I train my Energy absorption?" Not wanting to waste the remaining 4 weeks, she immediately wanted to practice her skills now.

When talking about saving Olive, she didn't have the slightest prejudice against the green-haired man. She was really serious about discussing the plan for her friend's rescue.

*Stomp* *Stomp*

But before he explained how to train, the footsteps of several people running could be heard approaching the room.

"I will teach you at our next meeting. I hope you prepare your physique, because I will not hesitate to train you. See you later." The green-haired man immediately flew to the window and said goodbye to Elvira.

Elvira who didn't hear the footsteps was slightly surprised that the man suddenly decided to leave. Not wanting to be late, she ran over and asked him. "What's your name?"

*Knock* *Knock*

There was a loud knock on the door as the green-haired man answered her question.

"Miss, just now an Evil Spirit hit your window, are you all right?" A sorcerer knocked on her room and shouted a little to confirm her condition.

"Eh, ah, I'm fine. Although a bit surprised, but the seal is working well." She turned around and immediately answered the sorcerer's question even though she stuttered a bit.

"I also feel the faint aura of Evil Spirits around here, are you sure it's okay? If anything comes up immediately shout and we will come." The guard, who was doubtful about her answer, repeated his question to make sure.

"I told you I'm fine. You guys don't have to worry, and get back on patrol." She tried to convince them until the sorcerers left.

"Y-yes, princess." The sorcerer's voice sounded doubtful but covered in fear towards Elvira, and finally chose to believe.
