Chapter 39: Electric Shock Play in the Storm
And so, the next three days passed. Lonis spent them studying.
Because she was studying very diligently, she managed to memorize the types of common Magic Gemstones in a short period.
And perhaps because she had gotten motivated?
Lonis felt that her work as a maid also became smoother.
After all, being a servant wasn’t exclusive to females; there were also males who specialized in cleaning rooms… As long as she treated herself as a domestic worker, it wasn’t that shameful.
Although her chest was a bit inconvenient, as long as she didn’t kneel and wasn’t touched by foreign objects, Lonis could still endure it.
And during these three days, Elus also seemed very busy, not having the time or energy to tease and bully her.
Because the Magical Airship needed to be operated.
And when not operating it, this black-haired girl would sit by her desk and quietly read… Sunshine filtered through the window, shining on Elus’s beautiful hair, and at this moment, this beautiful Sadist girl surprisingly exuded a hint of a literary girl’s temperament.
Of course, this temperament was fleeting. As soon as she noticed Lonis seeming to slack off, she immediately started ordering her around: “Oh? Lonis, you look quite idle?”
“Ah… No, I was just about to…”
“Come here and massage my shoulders! You can stop when I say so.”
“Wuwu…”
Lonis found that the book Elus was reading was a professional book related to magical artifacts. Because the content was too obscure, she couldn’t understand it.
Broadly speaking, it was like someone completely clueless reading advanced mathematics.
So Lonis didn’t seek trouble for herself and disturb Elus’s reading.
……
……
And so, time arrived at the third day of departure.
The ship had sailed for approximately a thousand miles in the air, when something unexpected happened.
……
“A storm? How could there be a storm in this region at this season?”
Looking at the horizon, Elus frowned.
A vast expanse of black clouds covered the skyline, rolling with great density as if intending to devour the sky. It looked so ferocious and terrifying.
“Could it be the Fallen Demon Race…”
After a moment of thought, Elus made a decision: “Lonis, get into the cockpit and hold the steering wheel tightly. Don’t let go.”
“Eh?”
“We need to make an emergency landing. We can’t continue any further.”
……
Although Elus reacted quickly, the storm also arrived quickly.
At first, it was just a pitter-patter, but soon, it turned into a downpour.
The rain, striking the airship one after another, made a “hu la la” sound.
Water streams dripped and flowed on the glass, and the airship had no windshield wipers. Therefore, the view outside suddenly became blurry.
However, Lonis continued to follow Elus’s instructions, obediently sitting in the cockpit and clutching the steering wheel.
(It’s okay, I’m just holding the steering wheel. It’s completely fine.)
Lonis could feel that with the wind and rain assaulting it, the steering wheel was swaying left and right with the waves… If she let go, the ship would likely lose control.
And Elus, where had she gone? Lonis was the only one left in the cockpit.
This atmosphere was undoubtedly very lonely. The visibility outside the window was very low. Lonis couldn’t even judge the ship’s altitude… She was worried that in the next second, the entire ship would crash into something and disintegrate.
(Calm down, Lonis, you are a Hero after all. This little thing is nothing to be afraid of.)
At the critical moment, it was the optimistic spirit of being a Hero that helped Lonis stabilize her emotions.
She didn’t scream and shout like a little girl, but calmly held the steering wheel. Just as Lonis thought everything would develop ideally…
……
Lonis saw a ferocious monster in the heavy rain.
Its head was cube-shaped, and each face was like a Rubik’s Cube of Rank 7, composed of 25 metal grids.
Its body was composed of 16 tentacles… The monster’s appearance was very similar to an octopus monster floating in the deep sea, but no octopus monster would float in mid-air, and not in this shape.
……
In an instant, Lonis was stunned.
And this monster, as if discovering a delicious meal in the ship, extended its tentacles and slammed them heavily towards Lonis.
Boom!
The entire ship shook violently. Fortunately, both the hull and the glass were strong enough, so the silver-haired girl was not grabbed by this terrifying monster.
However, the ship’s tilt was unavoidable.
A tremendous force to the right transmitted through the steering wheel. Lonis could only hold it tightly to maintain the ship’s stability.
……
“Roar!”
Seeing Lonis still resisting, the monster seemed to become unusually angry.
A few blue lights flickered on the Rubik’s Cube on its head, and then those tentacles seemed to be covered by electric light, emitting crackling sounds.
“Bad?!”
Lonis had no way to escape and could only watch helplessly as the monster raised its electric-covered tentacles and swung them heavily towards the ship.
Zzzzip!
With a sound of voltage pouring out, all the lighting equipment inside the ship instantly went out, and Lonis felt a bone-chilling electric current spread throughout her body.
(Wuwu!)
Intense pain spread throughout her body, and the girl’s muscles twitched uncontrollably… If it were a normal person, they would probably have fainted from this current, right?
However, Lonis did not.
Not only because the small skirt and high heels she was wearing insulated part of the current’s effect.
It was more because she had endured even more terrifying torture before.
(The pain right now is far worse than dealing with an Abyssal Tentacle Monster…)
……
Lonis gritted her teeth, doing her best to maintain the ship’s balance.
However, seeing that its attack was ineffective, the monster became even more enraged… The Rubik’s Cube on its head all lit up, and all sixteen tentacles also showed electric light.
The dazzling radiance made Lonis unable to open her eyes. The girl knew that even more terrifying current would sweep the ship next, subjecting her to torture worse than death.
But… she couldn’t give up!
She absolutely could not let go of the steering wheel!
Although Lonis had become a girl, the pride of being a Hero still remained in her heart… Being afraid of Elus was one thing, but facing this mere monster, she absolutely wouldn’t flinch!
“Don’t underestimate me, you damn tentacle monster!”
Lonis shouted, her heart filled with a resolve to perish together.
……
And just as the electric current was about to sweep the ship, subjecting this Lonis to electric shock torture from all sides.
A girl’s sharp roar came from behind:
“Who gave you permission to bully my Slave Maid?”
“Eh?”
“My Masochistic Maid can only be played with by me!”
