A portal opened in the middle of the room, and a tall man in pure white attire calmly stepped out. The man had white hair and pale skin, and he was wearing a long white robe with gold trims that looked like it had been made for royalty. His trousers and shoes were also impeccably white, and the man looked around the scattered room with white eyes and hummed.

"You’ve ruined such a beautiful chamber in your anger. Pathetic, spiteful, disgusting, but not unexpected. I shouldn’t be surprised. It is a woman’s nature to always destroy the things that are more beautiful than they are. Their jealousy and greed know no bounds, so giving them so much power will only bring forth the worst in them. Your existence is an insult to all feminine women. But it matters not. You are still sufficiently beautiful, so I will take you under my care and teach you to behave. Like an unruly pet."

Diane’s eyes only grew narrower the longer she heard the man in front of her speak, but Diane didn’t attack just yet as she tried to analyse the situation better! The first thing Diane needed to figure out was exactly how this man had gotten in here! It should’ve been impossible for anyone to teleport into the main castle since there were various magical rune defences all around the walls, and even if you managed to activate a teleportation device or open a dimensional tear, there were runes that would redirect the portal and make you appear in the dungeon instead. But for some reason, not only was this man able to enter her inner chamber so easily, but he had done it without any mana at all! Diane spread her magic through the room, and Diane was shocked by what she felt. The man in front of her did not have any magic, and even the portal that opened behind him was also manaless!

’How did he get in here? Did he suppress his mana? No, that’s not possible. Even if he suppresses it, I would’ve still felt it. It’s more like he doesn’t have any mana at all. What is he? He’s practically a void.’

Diane felt a sudden confusion rising from deep in her heart when she looked at the man in front of her, and she raised her sword and spoke roughly.

"State your business here, or I will cut you where you stand."

The man looked Diane over like a scientist studying a specimen, and his eyes rested on Diane’s hips and breasts for far longer than anywhere else. There was no denying that Diane was a beautiful woman, and the way she dressed in a short warrior’s skirt and a strip of cloth around her breasts only made her toned, sexy figure stand out more! The man smiled in appreciation, and Diane felt a cold anger filling her heart when she saw the condescending, perverted look in his eyes! It was as if the man was a lion looking at a rat that it could devour at any time! Diane didn’t care anymore about who the man was or how he got in here without permission! She decided that she was going to simply kill him! Diane stepped forward, and the man raised a hand and spoke with a frown.

"Hah~ Women. Always so hasty with their actions. That is why they must be guided by their betters. But I don’t mind that. A rash woman is easier to manipulate, after all. And it is all the more fun to dominate the dominant. But before that, let us focus on the matter before us. I came here because I learned of your recent problems regarding the world known as Earth and its newest Overlord, Jason Marc. You see, I also have my reservations about Earth and the current Overlord, so although it is beneath me, I am willing to bring myself low enough to use a woman for my personal ambitions. You must rejoice because not many women are fortunate enough to become more than mere toys for my pleasure."

Diane stopped in her tracks as she heard this, and Diane began to wonder what the hell this man was talking about! Ever since he came here, this mysterious man had looked down on and spoken about women like they were lesser creatures that were beneath him, and Diane could feel her blood boiling with anger the longer she listened! The fact that the man was not only looking down on her, but he was also claiming that he would use her like she was some sort of toy, fueled Diane’s anger! Diane’s hand tightened around her sword, and the man in white shook his head as Diane suddenly charged toward him with a shout!

The mysterious man let out a disappointed sigh.

"Women. Always so hasty."

Diane slashed forward with her sword to take the man’s head off, but Diane was shocked when her sword stopped a few millimeters away from the man’s neck! 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Clang!

Diane brought the sword back and unleashed another attack!

Clang! Clang!

The sound of metal striking against metal echoed through the room, and the man didn’t even look like he cared about the attacks as he simply looked at Diane with his hands behind his back! Diane was trying everything in her power to strike the man down, but nothing was getting through! Diane grit her teeth, and she immediately discarded the sword and brought her hands forward! Red Runes that had been carved into her body all glowed with a brilliant light as they were activated! The runes were special Bengari Runes that were meant to improve the strength, speed, and magical capacity of any warrior to help them unleash more power than they normally could!

As a TITAN Rank III, Diane was very confident in her strength, and she knew that there was hardly any magical defence that could stand up to her when she used her full strength! But the one thing Diane could never have anticipated at that moment was that not only would the attack not do any damage at all, but her attack would be reflected back at her!

BOOM!

Diane slammed into a wall and groaned as she felt her head banging, and she looked down in shock to see that her right hand had broken from the impact. Diane looked up to see the white-haired man walking towards her while speaking in a loud voice!

"A woman dared to raise her hand to me!? A woman dares to attempt to touch my exalted self!? You lowly creature! Do you not know that I hate nothing more than such insolence! I would rather have my own body be torn apart by the wolves of the forest than have a woman lay her hands on me!"

The white-haired man launched a kick to Diane’s chest that threw her back into the wall, and Diane groaned as she felt her strength failing her! What was this!? It felt like she couldn’t gather any strength in front of this man!

A loud voice echoed from behind!

"DIANE!"

Jamat had grabbed the sword Diane dropped, and he raised the weapon high in the air and charged towards the white-haired man with a roar!

Slash!

Blood splashed across the air, and Jamat felt his eyes widen when he saw a cut appearing on the white-haired man’s back! I actually cut him? Jamat was shocked by this development! Jamat knew that he was far weaker than Diane, so the fact that he was able to cut the white-haired man while Diane couldn’t even land a blow on him was unthinkable! But the white-haired man didn’t even look like he registered the attack, and he simply pressed his foot tighter against Diane’s chest as he spoke to Jamat in an irritated tone.

"Attack me one more time, and I’ll have her head. You are nothing but a pathetic excuse for a man who sullied himself by submitting to a woman. As far as I am concerned, you are an even lesser being than she is."
