However, the monster did not give up its disguise, still putting on that frail and helpless appearance. It looked up at Retsu, its voice tinged with a hint of resentment as it spoke: "Sir, I am a person who cannot leave this place. At least..."
At this point, its tone suddenly shifted, instantly switching to a coy expression. Its large eyes were filled with affectionate, watery light, staring straight at him: "At least for just tonight, please spend it with me."
"...Oh, really?" Retsu's mouth twitched, truly not knowing how to respond. The monster before him wore the stunningly beautiful face of the kingdom's princess, but its behavior was like a lustful harlot, leaving him speechless and nearly giving him goosebumps.
The monster opposite him, unaware of his true thoughts, saw him standing there dumbfounded and thought its seduction was working. It raised its head, its pitch-black eyes locking tightly onto Retsu, its voice soft as a feather: "Sir, please look into my eyes."
Retsu met its gaze, forcefully suppressing the urge to directly activate his Sharingan and hit it with an illusion. He lowered his head, pretending to comply with its stare.
At that moment, a sinister, cold Demonic Power suddenly surged from the woman's eyes, attempting to invade his body and control him with an illusion.
Seeing Retsu "standing motionless," the monster's eyes immediately flashed with a triumphant smile.
It slowly rose, moving its body closer to Retsu. It lifted its pale face, its red lips slightly puckered as it leaned towards his mouth, trying to seize the chance to kiss him and absorb the life force within his body.
Just as their lips were about to touch, a cold glint flashed in Retsu's eyes. His right hand shot out, grabbing the woman's neck in front of him!
"Gah!" The monster's expression instantly changed drastically, the tenderness and affection in its eyes replaced by terror.
A massive surge of Demonic Power erupted from its body. Its jet-black hair visibly turned snow-white at a rapid pace, followed by yellow beastly fur quickly sprouting from beneath its skin. It was clearly about to shed its disguise and transform into its true monster form.
But before it could complete the transformation, Retsu's arm, gripping its neck, suddenly exerted force, and his wrist flicked.
"Thud!"
Accompanied by a dull impact sound, the monster's body, which was stretching and enlarging, was slammed hard onto the floor in the distance.
By the time it struggled to get up from the ground, it had completely shed its human disguise: a terrifying, ferocious yellow dog-like face, a canine mouth filled with sharp fangs, hands and feet transformed into hooked claws, its entire body turned into a large yellow dog standing upright, though still clad in human clothing.
It glared at Retsu with blood-red beastly pupils, a low growl rumbling in its throat: "Damn it! Since it's come to this, you'll become my power too!" Before the words even finished, it opened its bloody maw and lunged fiercely at Retsu.
"Kikyo, if you keep watching the show, I'll just chop this monster to death!" Retsu sidestepped to avoid the monster's pounce, looking up and shouting at Kikyo, who was spectating from the side, his tone filled with displeasure.
"With a beauty throwing herself at you, I thought you were quite enjoying it, so I didn't want to disturb. I didn't expect you to blame me." Kikyo's voice came with a hint of laughter, her tone full of teasing.
"A woman's voice? Where?!" Hearing Kikyo's voice, the monster's movements abruptly halted. Its crimson beastly pupils frantically scanned the surroundings, clearly extremely sensitive to female presence.
At that moment, Kikyo's figure slowly emerged from the corner of the room.
