Chapter 46 The Little Fox Pounces
When Cécile saw Lonis being captured by the tentacle monster, her heart was in her throat.
Because…
She also knew that although Hero Lonis was very powerful, she had some strange hobbies in certain special aspects.
If everyone saw Lonis bathing in white liquid and looking dirty all over, how would she explain it?
It seemed impossible to cover up, right?
However, despite that, Cécile couldn’t not bring everyone along, because Lonis was in great danger and urgently needed her friends’ rescue!
So…
“Princess Cécile, is Hero Highness alright?”
“Yes, let’s go help quickly.”
…
However, Cécile did not expect this.
When she arrived, Lonis didn’t have a single trace of slime on her.
Moreover, she was even greeting the tentacle monsters, as if saying goodbye: “Well, thank you all for telling me the map… I’ll be going now, and I will definitely quell the anomaly.”
“Hero Highness, have a safe journey. You will always be our companion.”
…
This time, not only Cécile was stunned, but even the girls were stunned.
Because in everyone’s impression, tentacle monsters were very evil monsters, but Hero Lonis Highness? She was chatting happily with them.
And Larona, as if she understood something, suddenly said: “Ah… I understand! This is the power of Hero Highness?”
“Miss Larona…”
“Pretending to be defeated and captured by the tentacle monsters, but in reality? The hero actually came to their home to communicate with the tentacle monsters… Because in this world, war is not the only way to resolve differences, communication is also.”
“Is that really how it is? It seems like it is indeed like this…”
“Wuwu, Hero Highness is so great. So powerful!”
…
Hearing Larona say this, the girls were immensely full of admiration for Lonis.
Sneaking into the enemy camp alone, facing so many terrifying monsters, required so much courage?
Anyway, none of the girls present would do something like that. They thought they would only fight the enemy, and never thought so deeply.
So…
“Is this… the gap between us and Hero Highness?”
“Princess Lonis, you are truly so kind!”
…
…

…
After bidding farewell to the tentacle monsters, Lonis wanted to meet up with everyone as soon as possible to show that she was fine.
But she didn’t expect that as soon as she came out, she encountered the girls with tears in their eyes… They looked at her with admiration, as if they were seeing a saint’s return.
“E-everyone…”
“Hero Highness, are you alright? If necessary, we can give you a body massage…”
…
The eager gazes of the girls almost made Lonis lose her composure.
Because not only had it been a long time since she enjoyed such enthusiastic attention, but she had also been very embarrassed just now?
Although she had successfully communicated with the tentacle monsters, she was almost scared to pee… Speaking of which, she didn’t seem to be a qualified hero?
After all, how could a qualified hero be scared like this by tentacle monsters?
So,
Lonis just shook her head and said:
“N-no, I’m fine! Um… let’s get down to business first. I obtained an item that seems to allow me to go to the core area of the tomb?”
“Yes, understood.”
“We need to find Elus and hurry to help!”
…
…
—————
…
…
Elus was in a fierce battle with a monster.
After a series of battles, Elus had grasped the essence of the opponent… It was a monster born from high-dimensional power, so ordinary attack methods were completely ineffective against it.
The only way was to use the effect of “gravitational oscillation” to disintegrate it from the inside.
Although using gravitational oscillation magic was troublesome, fortunately, Elus was not an ordinary person.
…
“Monster, die for me!”
In front of Elus, an indescribable light bloomed.
Although this light did not look grand, it was like a sharp arrow, precisely piercing the monster’s body… Numerous black lights turned into powder and scattered, and the monster finally seemed to be defeated by Elus.
…
“I succeeded? Phew…”
This made Elus wipe the sweat from her forehead and breathe a long sigh of relief.
Although she defeated the monster, Elus did not win easily. Her magic power was already somewhat depleted, and she needed some rest before she could continue.
“Why would such a monster appear… Is it due to the correction force of time? Or due to distorted thoughts…”
…
Elus leaned against a stone block, preparing to rest.
But…
A gust of cold wind blew, and from the depths of that lacquer black door, another shadow drifted out!
Its shape, size, and method were exactly the same as the one Elus had dealt with before. This time, even Elus was shocked to the point of losing her color.
(How is this possible… How can there be another one?)
…
Elus’s body trembled. She knew that her best choice now was to retreat.
But that black shadow had already targeted the black-haired girl. It rushed straight towards Elus, as if it had no intention of giving the girl time to retreat.
(What should I do, continue fighting?)
(I…)
…
Elus’s wrist trembled slightly. She didn’t know if her remaining strength could still defeat this black shadow, but now it seemed there was no other way but to continue fighting.
…
“Come on… If I can kill one, I can kill a second one!”
The silver-haired princess gripped her long sword, preparing for a desperate struggle.
However, at that moment…
…
“Elus, I’m here to help you.”
“Huh?!”
…
Elus was stunned. She didn’t expect a silly silver fox to suddenly pounce from the other side!
Her big ears twitched, and her big tail wagged behind her. She looked so silly!
But:
Her appearance instantly changed the current situation. The silly fox’s lantern in her hand was like an unseeable black hole, instantly engulfing the surrounding light.
The vision was blocked, but the monster’s figure became clearer—now, Elus could finally see that it was a monster that looked like a sarcoma.
It was spherical, about two meters in diameter, and its hideous surface was densely covered with human faces!
It’s just that each face was so twisted, and what came out of their mouths was not tongues, but arms and severed limbs… This scene was so terrifying, it was like a picture of hell.
…
If an ordinary person saw this sight, they would probably have nightmares at night.
However, under the illumination of the black lantern, these faces let out painful screams.
They twisted, they struggled, but in the end, they were powerless to sustain themselves and turned into wisps of nothingness, disappearing from the world.
…
The battle was finally over.
At this moment, Elus came back to her senses.
It turned out that Lonis had helped her, and she even pounced to Elus’s thigh and asked with concern: “Elus, are you alright? Are you injured anywhere?”
“Uh…”
“Your arm… is this a bruise? No, you need to rest quickly!”
The silly fox pounced on the black-haired princess and asked with concern.
