Sneaky bastard!" I shouted loudly.

"Huh? What? Why? I am not-" Princess Louisa was shocked at my sudden shout.

But she soon realized that I wasn't looking at her, but at something behind her.

I raised my hand and was about to unleash the biggest and strongest lightning strike on that sneaky black knight when I suddenly felt a certain connection with all of the lightning energy within it.

And instinctively, I knew what I needed to do.

"Lightning Devour!" I shouted a randomly made up cool sounding name to my new skill.

And just like a monster sucking the life force out of its victim, I sucked out all of the black knight's lightning energy!

Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!! Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!

Having fully activated my Lightning Demon Assassin bloodline, I no longer felt the non sexual orgasmic feeling in my body upon devouring the lightning energy.

Instead, it felt like I was drinking the most delicious, awesome cold drink ever while being under the hot sun.

It felt really, really satisfying.

"Hehehe." I chuckled like an evil blood sucking vampire after drinking his fill.

The lightning energy within me grew to about ten percent full.

"Hey you dumbass lunatic game master. I need ten more giant black knights. Or one big fat black knight boss. Send them over quick!" I shouted half jokingly.

Of course I did not expect my demands to be fulfilled. But sometimes you do not have because you did not ask. There's no harm in asking, right?

Having lost its power, the black knight collapsed to the ground behind us with a loud BANG.

"Level 2 Novice Trial successfully completed. One hundred twenty five points collected. Perfect score. Three times multiplier awarded. Three hundred seventy five points collected.

Congratulations.

Please choose one of three rewards.

First Option - Experimental Starfall Speedster.

Second Option - Red Wyvern Blood Essence.

Third Option - Gold Gra.. Zzt. Zzt. Become the Outer Disciple of Black Assassin Clan."

I frowned lightly at the obvious interference that very suddenly changed the reward for the third option.

"Black Assassin Clan huh? So they're interfering with the ones who kidnapped me and brought me here? I will remember them, and look for them when I have the chance." I thought to myself. "Maybe I can work with them to bring trouble to my kidnappers. But for now.."

"I choose the first option." I said loudly. "Give me that Experimental Starfall Speedster!"

I only had one simple reason behind my selection of the Experimental Starfall Speedster.

Yes, that's right.

I want to devour it.

And whatever experimental technology that speedster had, I would get my hands on them and replicate them on all of my mechas. They thought that they were only giving me one experimental tech. Little did they know that they were actually handing me the blueprints to all of their technology!

However, the Black Assassin Clan's interference was much more powerful than I expected.

After loudly announcing my choice, the disembodied voice simply repeated the reward options back at me.

"I SAID. I WANT THE FIRST OPTION. EXPERIMENTAL STARFALL SPEEDSTER!" I repeated myself loudly as well.

But like a stubborn little child, the disembodied voice repeated the reward options back to me once more!

And for at least TEN times, all we did was to repeat ourselves until finally.

"Fine! Keep your stupid rewards! Let the trial continue or send us back!" I shouted in exasperation.historical

"Excellent choice. Third option selected. You are now officially the Outer Disciple of-"

"WHAT THE BLEEDING HELL!? I DID NOT CHOOSE THE THIRD OPTION!" I roared at the disembodied voice angrily.

"- You will be transported back to your original position. However, please do note that time flows differently here than in your original position. When the time comes, the Black Assassin Clan will send someone to pick you up. All the best and goodbye."

"DAMN IT! DAMN IT! I WANT MY EXPE-"

Whoosh.

Like a complete dumbass, the game master sent us back to our original position.

Which was, if you can remember, in the middle of the damned pacific ocean.

One moment I was standing on the grasslands under the greenlit skies of an alien world, and the next moment I was hundreds of meters underwater.

Without a mecha suit on me.

"HMMMPH!!" I shouted with my eyes bulging wide.

Thankfully Princess Louisa was there with her alien mecha.

She took me into her mecha and saved me from a whole lot of trouble of having to stay alive underwater in a dangerous pacific ocean.

"Ah damn those aliens!" I cursed them heartily.

"You're welcome, by the way." Princess Louisa said mildly.

"Yes, yes. Thanks for saving me. No thanks for trying to kill me so many times."I grumbled to her.

"That alien voice said time flows differently in that place. I need to connect to the world's internet and find out exactly how much time has passed." Princess Louisa said and ignored my grumbles.

"What's the hurry? We JUST got back." I said with a sigh as I laid down on the very cramped cockpit.

"We were T-minus one hundred and five days from launching an all out attack on the USAA back when we were captured." Princess Louisa said calmly.

"WHAT THE HELL?" I shot back up and hollered at the damned European Princess. "I KNEW YOU DAMNED EUROPEANS WERE UP TO NO GOOD! WITH ALL YOUR DAMNED MECHA VIRUSES AND SHIT!"

Princess Louisa ignored my words and proceeded to check on the day and date.

"Only twelve days have passed. We're still good." Princess Louisa said with slight relief in her voice.

"Twelve days? My big bro and sis in law are probably back at the Federation by now." I thought to myself.

"Come back to Europe with me." Princess Louisa looked at me with her beautiful round eyes and stretched out her hand to touch mine. .

After returning back to planet earth, she had regained a little bit of her back bone and was able to somewhat talk to me semi equally.

"With you by my side, I will gain the throne of the Empire in a short time, and then together, we can unify the world. All of the world, under our rule. We can strengthen our defenses, develop our armies and be rid of all the threats of the aliens once and for all." Princess Louisa said.

"No." I shook my head and frowned at her.

But Princess Louisa did not give up.

"What's holding you back? You don't look like the Chinese ruling coalition at all. You're either from a small outer clan, or an orphan taken in by one of their main clans. Either way, you shouldn't have much holding you back. Not when I have the world to offer you. The world and.." At that, Princess Louisa blushed lightly.

"The answer is still no. Bring us to shore, and we'll go our separate ways. I will not kill you today. But if you Europeans proceed with your plan for global unification, then the day will come when I have to kill you. Do not resent me for that when that happens." I told her gravely.

"At least follow me back to the Empire." Princess Louisa said with a slightly begging tone to her voice. "Go there and experience life as one of us first. Maybe you'll take a liking to it!"

I was about to shake my head in exasperation once more when a thought suddenly struck me.

"Hey, if I go to Europe, I would be able to influence them from within. Worst case scenario, I would be able to steal all of their tech and power myself up tremendously! They do have the best offensive tech in the world after all.."

"Hmmmm." I said thoughtfully.

"You can do whatever you want there." Princess Louisa added, eager to sweeten the deal and make me follow her back. "You can go to school, go on road trips, explore everything the Empire has to offer!"

"I am not interested in sightseeing." I rolled my eyes at her.

"What are you interested in then? Just name it. I will make it happen." Princess Louisa declared confidently.

"I want access to all of your technology." I said shamelessly. "Golden mechas, mecha virus, experimentals. Everything."

I raised one eyebrow questioningly at her as I very quickly placed her earlier declaration to the test.

She remained silent for a moment as a literal war raged in her heart.

"Which one is stronger? Her feelings for me? Or for her Empire?" I mused as I enjoyed myself watching the interplay of emotions on her face.

Finally, after mulling over it for a minute or two, Princess Louisa's face suddenly cleared.

"I can do that for you. But I have one condition." She said with a mysterious smile on her face.

"Hooo. Interesting. Let me see what your price for treason is. Tell me your condition!" I said with a conspiratorial smile.

"It is very simple. I will grant you full access to anything and everything you ask for if you.. marry me." Princess Louisa said with a deep red blush on her face.
