Get Ahead of the Fallen Heroine and Make the Bull-Headed Man the Victim - Chapter 165



Chapter 165.

I’m not the main character, so why am I always thinking about getting into a defeat play? (40)

It had been a long time since he encountered someone who forced him to take action, and Noah was quite excited. Maintaining his LV99 stats, he kicked towards the side of the High Priestess Princess.

The High Priestess Princess, who was in the midst of attacking, was immediately sent flying. However, in that instant, Noah noticed a faint blue shield-like barrier that blocked his attack, preventing any substantial harm to her.

“Oh? As expected, there’s an automatic defense mechanism, just like in the original.”

But Noah, having steadied himself, didn’t feel discomfort; rather, he thought this was how it should be, as such a setting existed in the original.

“Right, I need to give a heads-up to the Grand Princess over here.”

At that moment, Noah had already prepared to run, ready to chase after the High Priestess Princess, who was swiftly flying down the street.

But he suddenly remembered that the Grand Princess was still in shock nearby, so he quickly conveyed a message to her in golden text.

“Eh? Hurry and run? Oh, right, I really should be running!”

Delia snapped back to reality upon seeing the golden text, realizing that what lay before her was indeed a miracle.

However, being the Grand Princess, she still had decisiveness.

Without wasting any time, she immediately lifted her skirt and began to move quickly.

Though her pace was indeed fast, she didn’t run, for even if others couldn’t see her form, she couldn’t allow herself to lose the dignity and decorum of royalty.

Thank you, Goddess! When I get back, I’ll prepare more pantyhose for you! I still want to keep using you, so don’t let the other gods take you down so easily!

With that thought, a wicked smile appeared on the fleeing Grand Princess’s face.

After all, being a malicious female antagonist, Delia felt grateful for escaping the crisis, but it was gratitude rooted in her own interests; she didn’t think the ‘goddess’ was great.

This was fundamentally different from the believers who worshipped the goddess.

She believed in the divine simply because it could bring her benefits, not out of pure, unconditional faith.

But Noah understood this, so he didn’t mind; he still had to ‘date’ the princess who wasn’t under his training, and he had no time to worry about Delia.

“Oh? Even after being knocked away, she can rely on herself to regain her footing and stand tall again; she must at least have LV90 strength.”

—

Looking at the priestess princess, who was standing firm on her own strength and glaring fiercely at him, Noah made sure she could see his form alone.

From the priestess princess’s perspective, the black mist that emerged from the void was accompanied by flickering currents of electricity, and the evil god Noah gradually materialized in this bizarre black mist in this world.

“Indeed, it’s an evil god! How despicable! As a deity, you dare to ambush humans!”

Upon seeing Noah’s face, the priestess princess had no reaction; she merely adopted a cold demeanor out of her anger at being ambushed.

“Heh, you’re becoming more rational with each encounter, but your ignorance about me is quite consistent.”

Noah looked at her unusual attire with great interest, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

“What nonsense are you spouting! Evil god! Why would I know you!”

The priestess princess, believing Noah was being overly familiar, certainly did not give him a good expression. Her cold tone genuinely made Noah feel a bit hurt.

Just kidding, Noah wasn’t hurt; rather, he found her quite admirable.

Because if the original princess lost during her adventure in the western part of the kingdom, she would enter a defeat scenario and be chosen as a ‘Saintess.’

Though called a Saintess, it was essentially akin to being a sacrifice.

This religion was a genuine cult; at least Clotilde’s religion kept some things hidden, while this one didn’t even bother to pretend.

Moreover, there were hardly any female priests in this religion—if anything, there were none at all, as the original work clearly stated.

So who exactly did this princess lose to to end up like this?

To be honest, Noah could only think of the deity known as the ‘Goddess of Beauty.’

To confirm whether she fit the hypothesis of the ‘defeat ending,’ Noah continued to tease:

“Miss Priestess, you really are cold. Although this is our first meeting, perhaps we’ve met at the ‘ritual’ before?”

“You evil god, you even disguised yourself as a human to participate in the sacred ritual!? I can’t believe it! Don’t you have any dignity as a deity?!”

The priestess princess seized every opportunity to attack Noah with relentless fervor. Her attitude couldn’t be described as panicked; it was rather mature.

This made Noah feel that this princess might be more independent than the one in the original work who was with the unfortunate Clyde, more like a righteous female character.

…But to call that silver flash a sacred ritual, it seemed that while she retained her personality, her common sense had been distorted.

What a pity.

In this case, it was merely the blonde transforming into that ‘Goddess of Beauty.’

This was indeed the princess of the defeat ending that did not exist in the original work.

“Wait a minute! What’s with that look in your eyes? You actually think I’m pitiful?! The one who should be pitied is you! Why should I be pitied when I can serve the goddess with this body?!”

The priestess princess keenly sensed the contempt and pity mixed in Noah’s gaze, which caused her originally cold demeanor to waver, her emotions becoming somewhat uncontrollable, as if she had stepped on a landmine.

“Haha, as a princess, you have to serve the goddess and the religion as a priestess, and you’re not pitiful? Enough nonsense, come here and let me grant you a peaceful death. You’re just a ‘phantom’ created, yet you truly think you are real.”

At this point, Noah had realized there was no need to reconcile with her, so he doubled down on humiliating the priestess princess in return.

The mocking smile at the corner of his mouth gradually turned malicious and wicked, revealing the true face of an evil god.

Indeed, this princess in priestess robes was also a fake; the real one was the princess he was familiar with in her dragon form.

“Yeah, it’s pointless to waste words, listening to your heretical nonsense is completely useless! Let me purify your existence, let you ascend in my body, and grant you a brand new life!”

At the same time, the High Priestess Princess also let out a fierce cry, directly swinging her light blade towards Noah.

The speed and power of that attack made Noah certain that the High Priestess Princess’s level was around LV96, very close to the maximum level, only slightly weaker than Valentina, whom Noah had personally trained.

“Haha! You really dare to say that! You’re speaking as if you want to invade me!”

Noah dodged the High Priestess Princess’s fierce slash with ease, and couldn’t help but tease her about her previous statement.

Of course, Noah was just joking and didn’t think it was true.

But who would have thought that the High Priestess Princess would respond with a cold, stern face, without stopping her attack:

“It’s not invasion! It’s a purification ritual! Through the sacrifice of my chastity, you will be reborn! And after we merge, you’ll realize how foolish you are now!”

Her words left Noah stunned.

Wait, was she serious and not just joking?

So, no matter who loses, the princess is going to…?

He’s not a game heroine who has to enter a defeat play, right?
