Extra's POV: My Obsessive Villainous Fiancee Is The Game's Final Boss Chapter 368: When Is A Calamity Not A Calamity?

Five minutes later, Lilith walked out of the gorge with a cute smile, the only sign of what had happened inside the fleck of blood on her cheek.

Ren knew she could’ve finished the whole thing under a minute, but he said nothing, letting her have her fun.

He knew just how much letting her have little enjoynt like this was helping keep the emotion drain of her Soul Dominion at bay.

If she used her Divine Gift too much, it’ll strip her of her humanity and turn her into a Calamity. The third Great Calamity.

"Wait a minute." He muttered to himself as sothing occurred to him. Hadn’t Nero all but confird that sothing was behind the Calamities?

The Calamities didn’t spawn out of thin air to balance the cosmic checkbooks of fate and ti or so nonsense like that. They had been engineered by an entity, which could be either the Three, or Yggdrasil.

Does that an that Lilith’s weekness had also been engineered?!

His eyes narrowed as he watched her walk towards him.

It wasn’t out of the realm of possibility. After all, he hadn’t ever heard of a Divine Gift outside of hers that had such a great drawback.

It was essentially in the na. It was a Divine Gift. Why would a gift from divinity turn one into a monster?

He’d attributed the flaw in her Gift to how powerful it was, but right now, he wasn’t so sure it was a flaw that ca with the Gift.

Just how close was he to whatever had engineered the Calamities?

The Ross family and their territory had literally been surrounded by Calamities.

Lilith Underwood, the third Great Calamity that he had been betrothed to.

The Red Plague, the first Minor Calamity and the Calamity that had ensured the destruction of the Ross family.

The Blightwood, the fifth Minor Calamity which was currently growing inside the Greythorne forest, a forest that the Ross family territory sits just outside of.

It wasn’t a coincidence, but right now, he was seeing it all in a different light.

If Lilith’s Divine Gift had been engineered to contain such a flaw and turn her into a Calamity, could the flaw be removed?

He turned back to look at Lilith just as she arrived in front of him.

She smiled sweetly, presenting the fragnt to Ren like a child who had just finished a drawing.

"Here you go."

Ren looked from her outstretched hand to the pillar of light shooting from the fragnt and into the air.

"I’m an idiot." He sighed.

Lilith tilted her head, a frown stealing upon her face. "What do you an?"

He proceeded to explain what he had just thought about, presenting his hypothesis to Lilith.

He didn’t care if he was giving her false hope. This was her Divine Gift. She deserved to know if there was the possibility of a way out of its restrictions.

When he was done, there was a huge smile on Lilith’s face, but not for the reason he was thinking.

"You’re an idiot." She smiled at him. "Is this what you’re worried about when we’re in the middle of a dangerous exam?"

By now, the pillar of light from the fragnt had already faded away, but everyone in the vicinity already knew of their location.

She stepped closer to him, lifting herself on her toes to plant a kiss on his cheek. "You’re so sweet." She said. "But let’s focus on getting into Carthage first."

Ren blinked, before looking around him. They were standing right out in the open at the edge of the gorge for everyone to see.

"Oh." He turned back to her. "You’re right. We can do this later."

She smiled at him, stretching her hand with the fragnt once again. "Here."

Ren stared at the fragnt for half a second before turning back to Lilith, his green eyes twinkling as he grinned at her.

"You can hold it for now." He said. "There’s no reason for just to hold on to all the fragnts. That will be putting all our eggs in one basket."

If all the fragnts were kept with him, they could just be stolen by another team and it’ll just end up with them doing all the work, while the other team reaped the rewards.

Ren knew he wasn’t omnipotent or the most powerful being around. Far from it. Even with his pseudo-immortality, he could still be ambushed and incapacitated, with the ambushers just taking the fragnts of his body as he was regenerating and making a run for it.

There was no guarantee that he was the strongest person around.

"Okay." Lilith said happily, hiding the fragnt wherever it was she kept things on her person. She was not aware of Ren’s thoughts or reasoning.

To her, it just ant Ren was keeping sothing so valuable with her. Her heart kept beating with love and she vowed, for the tenth ti that day, to keep Ren all to herself forever.

Unaware of Lilith’s thoughts and the fact that he could be locked in a basent forever, Ren turned to her with a smile, extending a hand. "Shall we, my lady?"

Just then, the bushes around them rustled, and a team stepped out of the forest from their left side.

"Well, well, well." The leader of the team drawled, their tone filled with utter confidence. "What do we have here?"

Lilith turned to look at the team, glaring at them for ruining what could’ve been a romantic mont.

Before she could do anything about it, another team stepped out of the forest on their right side.

"Freeze!" The leader already had a bow notched and drawn, pointed straight at Ren’s head. "Surrender your fragnt to . If you move, you die!"

Ren frowned at his words. "How can I surrender my fragnt to you if I can’t move?"

"Don’t mov- Urk!" The leader was cut off mid sentence by a throwing knife sinking into his eye and into his brain.

Without waiting for what happened next, Ren grabbed Lilith before she could kill anyone else, and teleported out of there.
