I’m supposed to have grown so much stronger, yet I can’t even move my hand...’ Ryan thought, feeling a sting of frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ophelia watched him with a smile that wasn’t quite mocking, but rather analytical, as if she were dissecting his potential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In response to Ryan’s irony-laden question, Ophelia tilted her head slightly, her thick horns catching the dim glow of the dungeon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You will have to excuse me, Ryan, but did you really think I would approach you without being prepared?\" Her voice was soft, nearly a whisper, yet it resonated with a terrifying clarity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ryan!\" Helen’s scream shattered the trance of the scene. The warrior could not bear to see her king being restrained in such a manner and, completely ignoring the difference in levels, she lunged forward with her sword ready for a lateral slash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, before Helen could even take three steps, the green-haired woman, Iris, moved with a speed that the eyes of those present could barely process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without drawing any weapon, Iris simply reached out a hand and caught Helen by the fabric of her back mid-stride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a lazy motion, Iris yanked the warrior back and threw her to the ground with overwhelming force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helen landed hard on her backside, letting out a gasp of surprise as the impact vibrated through her spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stay here for a moment, please. Do not interrupt Lady Ophelia.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iris spoke with a monotony that was insulting to someone with Helen’s pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let go of me, you damn lizard!\" Helen screamed, trying to regain her balance. Mirian, seeing her companion on the ground, did not hesitate and fired a rain of mana-imbued arrows directly at Iris.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dragon didn’t even turn to face the attack; she simply snapped the fingers of her free hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that instant, every single one of Mirian’s arrows vanished into thin air, disintegrating as if they had never existed. There was no explosion or noise, only a total nullification of magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helen tried to stand up again, her face flushed with pure fury, but Iris was faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without giving her time to react, the green-haired woman delivered a kick to her side that sent Helen flying several meters across the room until she slammed into the stone wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thunder of the impact caused debris to fall from the ceiling. Mirian stood stunned for a moment, her bow still raised but the string slack, seriously doubting whether to attack again or if doing so would only worsen the situation for everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Damn it, is the difference really that vast? I’m sure I can take her, but this Demon King is holding me back...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s enough...\" Beatrice’s voice finally shattered the silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demon seemed to have snapped out of her state of shock, and though her hands were trembling, her violet eyes showed a resolve she hadn’t possessed just minutes ago. She took a step forward, positioning herself at Ryan’s side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am grateful that you, Lady Ophelia, looked after my brother while I was away, but that does not mean I will allow you to lay a hand on Ryan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beatrice raised her hands, and the invisible threads of her epic weapon began to vibrate, surrounding her body like a protective net.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ophelia let out a small laugh, looking at Beatrice with a mixture of tenderness and condescension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, dear, you are misunderstanding everything...\" She didn’t finish her sentence because Ryan, seizing the moment of distraction, decided it was time to play his own cards from up his sleeve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Debt Seal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryan activated his extra bug skill without warning. He felt the system respond to his command to block the Demon Queen’s active abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost immediately, without giving her a moment to breathe, he uttered the next phase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Debt Collapse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The effect was instantaneous. The Demon Queen’s gaze dropped suddenly as she let out a small groan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although her hand still gripped Ryan’s tightly, her other hand moved instinctively to her head, as if a sharp pain had pierced her skull from the inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ophelia blinked several times, trying to stabilize her vision as the mana around her fluctuated irregularly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can produce curses as well...? Even though I am supposed to be immune to most status effects... you are truly fascinating, Ryan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the obvious pain, Ophelia did not let go of Ryan. In that moment, Beatrice seized the opening and used her thread skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The metallic strings wrapped around the Demon Queen’s body in seconds, and Beatrice pulled with immense force, attempting to immobilize her or cause some sort of pressure damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The threads tightened to the point of emitting a high-pitched whine, but they failed to penetrate Ophelia’s skin or move her from her position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’She is too powerful, but that doesn’t mean she’s invincible. At least I know my skill distracts her,’ Ryan reasoned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t stop there and invoked his skill once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Debt Collapse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A second wave of mental and physical pressure struck Ophelia, causing her knees to tremble slightly for the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could you stop doing that once and for all? You are going to make me truly angry, do you understand?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ophelia’s voice was no longer so playful. She pressed her head harder, feeling how Ryan’s bug ignored her natural Demon King resistances to cause her genuine discomfort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I told you I had no intention of making enemies of you,\" Ophelia repeated, making an effort to maintain her composure as Ryan’s skill continued to collapse upon her internally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryan looked at her with the face of someone who didn’t believe a single thing coming out of her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Beatrice who intervened, maintaining the tension on her threads without pulling them completely tight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if you say that... you attack Ryan like this? This isn’t the way to start a friendly conversation, Lady.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beatrice was ready to fight to the end if Ryan ordered it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are misunderstanding, dear Beatrice. I haven’t attacked him at any point; I only approached to verify the rumors for myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ophelia, without letting go of Ryan’s hand, remained at the same distance, deliberately invading his personal space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What is with this woman? Her behavior is completely indecipherable, nothing she says has any logic, and she acts in such a strange way.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He watched as Ophelia continued to speak, ignoring the pain Ryan’s skill was still causing her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understand this, Ryan. If what they say about you is true, then it is also true that all your enemies until now have underestimated you because of your apparent rank.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ophelia straightened her posture, regaining her air of superiority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Despite being a Demon King, I recognize that you are strong. If I raised my power like that, it’s because I wasn’t going to approach you carelessly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Even though they are evidently stronger than Helen and Mirian, they haven’t done them any real damage despite the kick and the fall... she might not be lying.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryan analyzed the situation quickly. If Ophelia had wanted to kill them, Helen would no longer have ribs and Mirian would be a corpse on the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryan looked at her intensely, trying to find any sign of deception in those red eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine, I’ll believe you for now, but tell your companion to stop her attacks. I won’t allow her to keep hitting my group.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helen was getting up in the background, coughing and clutching her side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ophelia tilted her head and looked over to where Iris stood, completely calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But, it wasn’t her who attacked; she only defended herself from your friends’ aggressions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryan let out a heavy sigh, knowing that in technical terms, Ophelia was right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very well. For now... we will hear what you have to say.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helen finally finished standing up, covered in dust and scowling, clenching her jaw with a rage Ryan had never seen from her before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helen was angrier than Ryan had ever witnessed, and he could perfectly understand why.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not since facing William had she experienced the helplessness of being surpassed so easily by an opponent. Her S-rank pride was wounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beatrice released Ophelia from her threads, and Mirian remained in total silence, merely observing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ophelia looked around, noticing how the tension continued to vibrate between the two groups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But there are too many people here and the atmosphere is far too noisy. We should speak in a calmer place where no one will interrupt us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ophelia reached into her clothes and pulled out a dark teleportation stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Demon Queen extended her hand and held the stone out in front of Ryan.\u003C\u002Fp>",1524,"2026-06-05T15:18:53.248Z",1,"novelbin.me","5992d9572b0a75505239a4e60fb7608d21ba11c88d76e9281e3c45daf3c8ac41","s-rank-harem-i-became-my-character-with-extra-co-chapter-131","s-rank-harem-i-became-my-character-with-extra-co-chapter-129",176,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fs-rank-harem-i-became-my-character-with-extra-co-cover.jpg"]
