Chapter 48: The Girls’ Fierce Battle
Today is already the third day the girls have been in the Land of Eternity.
The protective force field has weakened by half, so the monsters that are now facing them have become much stronger. In the first and second days, most of the monsters were small ones like the Ghost-Faced Spider or the Toothfang Wolf. But on the third day, even monsters like the Shark Ripper appeared. They resemble crocodiles, but with six bodies. Their skin is incredibly tough, offering excellent resistance to both sharp and blunt weapons, and they are massive, weighing nearly a ton. Therefore, even mecha soldiers would have a hard time dealing with such a colossal creature charging at them. It can be considered a very troublesome monster.
However, from Lonis’s perspective…
“Tentacles, entwine!”
Perhaps it’s because she chose a trait called “Tentacle Monster Affinity”? Not only herself, but even other tentacle monsters have “defected” and chosen to help her. Although the tentacles of “everyone” don’t have much individual strength, they are exceptionally flexible and agile. Coupled with their sheer numbers, they easily entwine and control the two approaching Shark Rippers, making them crash into the wall like fools! Although a single impact isn’t enough to kill a Shark Ripper, don’t forget that Elus also has sensory enhancement abilities, right? Therefore, after successive impacts, these Shark Rippers are already dizzy and disoriented. Like animals that have formed a conditioned reflex, they refuse to advance no matter what.
… “Did, did we succeed?”
“No, little idiot. There are monsters on the other side too.”
“Huh?”
“Those are the Prism Guards from the ancient ruins… Honestly, why are these things showing up too!”
… Prism Guards are rhombic octahedrons about 30 centimeters long. Their bodies are smooth as mirrors, and they can float in the air like drones… Their defense is outstanding; they can remain unharmed even when facing explosives. And according to Elus, these are the lowest-tier combat weapons of the Supreme civilization. Weapons like these have threatened humanity quite a bit in the past. Although Prism Guards are not equipped with laser cannons or machine guns, they possess a special ability: a soporific ray. Any creature irradiated by it instantly feels fatigue in its brain and involuntarily wants to fall asleep. Once the soldiers fall asleep, they lose all ability to resist. And if they are caught by the “Harvesters,” they will be made into human specimens. Therefore, this is also an extremely dangerous opponent!
However… Lonis was already asleep. So she wouldn’t be affected at all. And her tentacle monster “compatriots”? They also have a certain resistance to sleep, so after a fierce struggle, all the Prism Guards were entangled by tentacles.
… “Elus, the Prism Guards are controlled. What should I do next?”
“Hmm, box them up and have someone transport them to the recycling port over there.”
“Huh?”
“The 3D printer will decompose the Prism Guards. Then, with the remaining materials, we can produce our own Prism Guards!”
So, the matter could be resolved so easily?
… Lonis didn’t expect things to turn out this way, especially since she and the tentacle monsters had been in fierce battles in the outer corridor for a total of 6 hours. The results were quite considerable; all nearby monsters had been subdued. Although there was still a possibility of new monsters approaching, at least the area was safe for the next half a day.
… “Phew… I’m so tired, Elus. So, is the battle over then?”
“Mm, although it looks a bit clumsy, you did pretty well this time!”
Elus raised her chin. Although she put on a detached air, Lonis knew that this was already her praise.
“What about me next…”
“Next is rest time. After working for so long, just relax properly.”
“Phew…”
Lonis sighed in relief, finally thinking her consciousness could return to her body. But then? Elus pushed the “silver-haired girl” in her arms towards Lonis. This shocked Lonis! After all, this was her own body, and it was so sensitive. If her body were even slightly bumped or scratched, she would be upset for a long time! So Lonis subconsciously reached out to catch herself. But she didn’t expect…
“Huh?”
The tentacle monster’s tentacles received her body just like that. The winding and coiling movement was so practiced that Lonis didn’t even need to give a command; the girl’s waist was already steadily supported.
“Elus?!”
“Mm, this is your reward. Little idiot, quickly use the tentacles to nourish your body… You don’t know, do you? Actually, the mucus from this kind of creature has a slightly acidic component, which is very effective for removing dead skin.”
“There’s such a development? It’s too weird to clean myself!”
… Although she said that, Lonis knew… she looked absolutely adorable! Because the “silver-haired girl Lonis” was created according to Lonis’s preferences, whether it was her innocent yet slightly resolute sleeping face or her fair breasts, they constantly stirred Lonis’s heart, urging her to do something.
… Moreover, although her consciousness was currently in the tentacle monster, Lonis’s true body was still the silver-haired girl… so Lonis could also feel the supportive sensation of being entangled by the vines. Because the tentacles were strong, she didn’t have to worry about falling to the ground. Because the tentacles’ cleaning fluid had a slight acidity, Lonis felt a slight itchiness all over, which felt very comfortable.
… This comfortable feeling made her want to moan, but Lonis knew better. If she made a sound, how would she maintain her dignity? Wouldn’t Elus mock her to death? So, absolutely not, absolutely not!
… Lonis shook her head frantically, trying to suppress the desires in her heart. But even if the spiritual instinct could be forcibly suppressed by reason, the genetic instinct could not be suppressed. Tentacle monsters and humans are enemies, so when encountering humans, tentacle monsters instinctively trigger the predatory nature within their bloodline. To prey on targets with their slightly acidic bodily fluids. Just as Lonis wanted to let go and not attack this silver-haired girl, she still couldn’t resist the hunger and predatory desire and let out “saliva.”
