Demon King Priest

"Although I would also like to say that this is not true, it is indeed the fact." Ulysses sighed.

"But aren't you a seventh-level master with the power to defeat that big octopus? How can there be no way?" Rasputin asked suspiciously.

"That…That's because, in order to defeat the big octopus, I used a power far beyond my limit. After defeating the big octopus, I suffered from the backlash of that force. Now I only have the fourth-level light mage strength and the strength of the fifth-level warrior. It will take at least half a year to restore to the level that can summon Phantasm." Ulysses racked his brains and came up with a reason that was barely justifiable.

"Oh, that's the reason. So that is to say, it will take us half a year at the earliest before we can to leave this deserted island." Rasputin looked disappointed.

"I'm sorry." Seeing Rasputin's disappointed look, Ulysses felt a little guilty.

"There is no need for you to apologize to me. If it weren't for you, we would have died in the sea a long time ago. Since you lost your strength to protect us, let me protect you this time." Rasputin smiled and comforted Ulysses.

Next, Rasputin showed her superb survival ability in the wild. It only took her a few hours to arrange the originally dim cave into a pretty good temporary shelter. In this temporary residence, Rasputin and the other two girls lived in the cave, while Ulysses lived near the entrance of the cave. Three temporary rules had also been drawn.

Article 1: Ulysses must not go to the girls' living area without the girls' invitation.

Article 2: Even with the girls' consent, Ulysses was not allowed to do any dirty things in the girls' residential area.

Article 3: No matter when and where, Ulysses was absolutely not allowed to take a peek at girls taking a bath or overhear girls talking.

"If you dare to violate these three rules, I will immediately use Hell Lightning Burst to turn you to ashes!" Those were the original words of Rasputin who wrote the rules.

With a cracking sound, a big tree half a meter thick was cut into two easily by Rasputin's wind blade. In the vicinity of this tree, dozens of trees have suffered the same fate.

"Miss. Rasputin, what are you cutting these trees for? Are you making firewood?" Ulysses, who followed Rasputin, watched Rasputin's continuous use of wind blades to cut the trees, a little confused. An hour ago, after Rasputin arranged the cave and laid down a barrier, she took Ulysses to the forest on this island. Cherie and Helen were both determined not to leave Ulysses. It took Ulysses a lot of effort to persuade them to wait for him in the cave obediently.

"You really don't have any knowledge of life in the wild! Of course this is for fence use. We are going to live on this desert island for half a year! I can't cast barrier magic all the time, right? If you have a fence, we can have an early warning before magic beasts come to attack. If it is the second and third level magic beasts, this fence is enough to keep them out, if it is the fifth and sixth level magic beasts, this fence can also buy us some preparation time." Rasputin looked at Ulysses like she was looking at a fool.

"Miss Rasputin, you are really amazing! You actually know so much about survival in the wild!" Ulysses really admired Rasputin.

"That's nothing. Compared to you, this little trick of mine is not worth mentioning. You are so young, but you are already a seventh-level master with Phantasm. But what makes me strange is that people like you should have long been known on the continent, but I have never heard of your name... Uh, speaking of it, I still don't know your name. We already have that kind of contact... contact twice, but I still don't even know your name, it's really weird to say it!" Halfway through, Rasputin's face suddenly blushed. Because Ulysses had seen her true face a long time ago, she didn't wear a veil this time. The face that became like a ripe apple because of shyness was extremely cute in Ulysses' eyes.

"I… My name is Ulysses. In fact, Miss Rasputin, your strength is not bad! At this age, you are already a sixth-level mage with the three elements of fire, wind, and lightning. I believe that you will definitely become a seventh-level master in the near future." Seeing Rasputin's shy face, Ulysses was also embarrassed.

"Ulysses. Sure enough, it's a name that I haven't heard before. But you seem to think it's too easy to break through the sixth level. I already had the power of the peak of the sixth level a year ago, but this year, no matter how hard I practiced, I just couldn't progress. Can you tell me how you reached level seven?" Rasputin sighed.

"Uh! This, this..." Ulysses had never really possessed level seven strength at all, so how could he answer Rasputin's question.

"Forget it, you don't have to be embarrassed. I heard that everyone's process of breaking through level six to level seven is different. Even if you say it, it may be of no use to me. But my question is a bit impolite. It is quite rude to ask other people's training methods on the continent, and I apologize to you for that." Rasputin bowed to Ulysses to apologize.

At this time, Rasputin had cut down hundreds of trees of the same size, and then used the wind blade to chop off their extra branches. In a short while, hundreds of wood suitable for fences were completed.

"Huff… I'm a little tired, let's take a break!" Although it didn't consume much magic energy, it took Rasputin a lot of energy to control the wind blade to cut the branches. Ordinary mages couldn't cut off the branches perfectly with the wind blade. This kind of operation required quite a high degree of magic control.

"Thanks, Miss Rasputin." Ulysses took out a glass of water from the Dark Dimension Space and handed it to Rasputin who was panting.

"I mean since we are all partners who have fought together, don't call me Miss Rasputin. It is enough to call me Rasputin. I will call you Ulysses too." Rasputin took the water that Ulysses handed over and complained.

"Then..., I'll call you Rasputin from now on."

"Mhm, Ulysses, I hope we can get along well in the future." In the setting sun, Rasputin's long black hair shone brightly, there was an indescribable smile in the green eyes. A gust of wind blew past, the fragrance of a girl's hair floated into Ulysses' nose along the wind, leaving him in a trance.

That day, it was the first time Ulysses saw Rasputin's smile.
