Chapter 28 The Power from the Beginning
Although she said she was taking Lonis to obtain power, Elusciya only took her around the temple.
There were many braziers in the temple, and Elusciya used her mobile phone to light them one by one… and under the illumination of the fire, the sphere located in the center of the temple became brighter and brighter.
“Well, in these 100 years, the power of the Fiery Abyss has recovered quite a bit? But… because it was unguarded, there are still a lot of impurities mixed in.”
Elusciya’s gaze became unusually serious as she looked at the red ball in the center:
“Fortunately, I still remember how to remove them. Well… just like this, done!”
Lonis didn’t know what Elusciya was doing.
But under the tinkering of the black-haired little loli, the red ball underwent earth-shattering changes!
Originally it was a solid object with a uniform surface material, and it looked unchanged.
However, after Elusciya activated it, the red ball slowly disintegrated—it didn’t disappear, but like a mille-feuille, it broke down into many separate layers.
The surface of each layer was hollowed out, covered with all kinds of strange patterns.
From outside to inside, the sphere was stacked layer by layer, and bright light permeated from the hollow parts from the inside out… it was like the interior of an incomparably complex watch face, which stunned Lonis at first glance.
Elusciya, on the other hand, seemed unfazed and only beckoned Lonis over:
“Lonis, come here quickly.”
“Eh?”
“Put your hand on it.”
“Wow, Master Elusciya! I’m afraid of getting burned, I don’t want to do this!”
Lonis was about to cry. Her acceptance ability was only up to dropping wax… any higher level of torment would only bring her pain, and no happiness at all.
But Elusciya looked at her with disapproval and said fiercely, “You, is your head rusty? The Fiery Abyss has been activated now, it’s not hot at all.”
“Eh?”
“Hurry up.”
“Oh…”
Hearing that it wasn’t hot, Lonis quickly put her hand on it… As expected, the fire ball after “disintegration” was like a large illuminator. Not only was it not hot, but it made Lonis feel warm.
“Did you see anything?”
“Something… in front of me, isn’t it just a fireball?”
“Let me say it again, this is not a fireball, it’s called the Fiery Abyss. You stupid maid, do you want me to kick your butt?”
“Wow, I’m sorry!”
“Close your eyes, clear your mind, quickly!”
“Ugh…”
Although a little reluctant, Lonis still closed her eyes.
And then,
In front of her eyes, a never-before-seen scene appeared.
……
……
This is fire.
It is also the origin of civilization, the beginning of everything.
This is the fire of hope that Prometheus stole from the gods and passed on to humanity.
It was born to represent passion,
Represents the temperature of life.
No matter how many times you try, please don’t give up.
No matter how long you wait, please don’t be discouraged.
Your courage to move forward has been seen by me.
Therefore,
I, on behalf of the maiden goddess who symbolizes the initial Crimson Lotus,
Bestow upon you…
The blessing from the Fiery Abyss.
……
……
The ethereal voice and image then disappeared.
And in front of Lonis, three things slowly appeared.
The first is a crimson gem—although it is a solid object, there are crimson flames burning fiercely inside, as if lava is sealed within.
The second is a deep red bead—its structure is very fine, looking like a miniature version of the Fiery Abyss.
The third is…
“Wuwuwuwu!!!!!”
Lonis never expected that a giant war hammer would suddenly appear in front of her.
It was one thing for it to appear, but as soon as it appeared, it firmly smashed onto her body—the giant war hammer, which looked like it weighed at least a hundred pounds, was covered with flame patterns, and was entirely red.
“Elusciya, help! I’m going to be crushed by the war hammer.”
“If you were crushed, you would be dead and unable to speak.”
“But…”
Although Lonis was not injured by the war hammer, she was pinned to the floor by it and couldn’t stand up at all. Despite the pitiful silver-haired girl’s pleas for help, Elusciya seemed indifferent:
“Hmph, this is the power of the Fiery Abyss, the weapon bestowed upon you—the Hammer of Crimson Flame. What’s wrong, why don’t you grasp the war hammer and resist me?”
“Eh?”
“Weren’t you just having such delusions? Thinking of secretly defeating me and becoming the master.”
“Uwu!”
Lonis was stunned, and then she remembered… Elusciya had the ability to sense the emotions of those around her.
Perhaps all her little thoughts had long been known perfectly by Elusciya.
But even so, Lonis still shamelessly argued:
“No, no! My respected Master Elusciya, you… you must have misunderstood. If I wanted to defeat you, I would have done so while you were sleeping. From this, it can be seen that I absolutely have no ill intentions.”
“Hmph, you’re afraid I’ll counter-kill you. A weak girl who can’t even cut beef, trying to defeat me, don’t be ridiculous!”
“Ugh…”
“However… seeing as your steaks taste quite good, I’ll let you off for now~”
Elusciya placed her hands on her hips and said to the gem next to Lonis: “This kind of weapon is called a ‘Shapeshifting Weapon,’ and it can be stored in that gem normally.”
“Eh?”
“To store and retrieve it, you just need to silently recite a spell.”
……
Under Elusciya’s guidance, Lonis discovered that the giant hammer had indeed disappeared.
Only the red sphere and the red gem remained on the ground.
“What are these two things for?”
“Hmph, you don’t need to know, because what a slave maid has is the master’s! Of course, what the master has is still the master’s~”
“Ah?”
“Then, I’ll take them away… Does Lonis have any objections?”
“Uwu!”
Seeing Elusciya directly take away these two things, Lonis dared not speak out of anger.
Life as a slave maid was too tragic.
She finally obtained something like a divine weapon in the temple, but before she could even warm it up, Elusciya took it away.
If this guy wasn’t the princess in charge of the Fiery Abyss.
If this guy hadn’t saved her a few times.
Then even if she struggled until her head broke and her whole body was bound with ropes, she would fight this black-hearted loli to the death!
“Oh? Lonis, your expression looks unhappy?”
“No, no!”
“If not, then give me a shoulder rub.”
“Eh?”
“Ah, I was running around to adjust the Fiery Abyss earlier, and I’m exhausted.”
“Ugh…”
Lonis had no choice but to “lose her own soldiers and also damage her army,” and began to massage Elusciya!
