Chapter 74: Battle of Time: Part 1
Lonis did not forget Elus.
Instead, she deliberately wanted to protect Elus, so she left the princess behind!
After all, she was now Elus’s husband! She was no longer who she used to be! As a husband, she had to protect Elus and ensure she didn’t suffer even the slightest harm!
But…
She couldn’t do it alone.
Although Lonis crushed the counter-current power from the Time’s Tomb in an instant, she soon felt unable to move.
Because, the further she rushed towards the core of the Time’s Tomb, the more she felt that the space around her seemed to be becoming more “distant.”
In other words…
Her speed was very fast, she could travel thousands of kilometers in one second, but this part of the space seemed to be distorted, turning into hundreds of thousands of kilometers.
This was the power from the “laws,” and brute force alone could not overcome it, so Lonis could only wait for Elus to approach and think of a way to break through together.
…
“Elus, you’re here…”
“Hmph, idiot fox! You really think you’re something because I gave you an inch! You rushed so fast, are you trying to lose your life?”
“Haha, isn’t this… wanting to show off in front of Elus?”
“And now, why aren’t you showing off?”
“Hehehe…”
“Still grinning like an idiot, hmph!”
…
Elus discovered that she couldn’t give Idiot Lonis even a moment of slack.
Because as long as she gave her a little encouragement, this guy would fly off the handle, so…
…
“Silly Lonis, you know you’re an idiot and not good at thinking, right? Then, obey my orders quickly and press this button.”
“This button…”
…
Looking at what Elus handed her, Lonis was stunned.
Because in the girl’s palm was a remote control!
There were several big buttons on it, and Lonis felt that something was not quite right no matter how she looked at it…
…
“Elus, what is this?”
“It’s a corrupted version of the heart connection. As long as you press it, you can establish a magical connection with our companions on the moon and communicate with them.”
“Eh?”
“After all, this dress was made by everyone working together with all their might last night! So we’ve also added many functions… For example, this one-button transformation into a beast-eared girl can make you grow fox ears and a tail, making it easier to adjust your body form.”
“Why did you install such a function?”
“Hmph, but it’s not the only function! Lonis, quickly press that button and connect with everyone~~”
…
Although it was almost a prerequisite for a hero to challenge the existence called “The End” with the power of their companions.
However, the drawing style for Lonis was too strange.
Because as soon as Lonis pressed it, next…
…
(Voom voom voom~~ Voom voom voom~~ Voom voom! Voom voom voom!)
…
Although it sounded like the vibration of a phone ringing, only Lonis knew what it was.
Therefore, her face immediately turned red, and her legs wrapped in white stockings involuntarily crossed; the ashamed girl could only say:
“El, Elus, what is going on! Why is it activating again, woo woo woo…”
“Hmph, it’s activated. Shouldn’t the little perverted fox be happy? This means you can accumulate magic power and use powerful magic again.”
“Woo woo…”
“Alright, the connection with everyone is complete. Hurry up and communicate.”
…
As Elus said, this wedding dress was equipped with many small devices, and of course, not all of them were improper, but some were proper!
And soon, Mi Xue Zhou’s voice emerged from Lonis’s ear:
“Junior Lonis, how is it, feeling good?”
“Yeah, it’s not bad… Woo?! (The noisy buzzing sound suddenly intensified—I don’t know if it’s a bad signal or some other sound)… Mmm… The dress is beautiful, the child likes to eat it… Mmm…”
“That’s great! According to Miss Tsukimi Shimo’s speculation, the Time’s Tomb seems to be initiating its second phase.”
“Second phase…”
“That’s right, it can trace time, and it should also be able to utilize some lost powers. So Lonis and Elus must be prepared.”
“!”
…
…
Before Mi Xue Zhou could finish speaking, Lonis had already noticed that the surrounding space-time seemed to have changed.
Previously, countless Thorns of Time were lunging towards her, but now, all the Thorns of Time parted as if making way for Lonis, receding to the sides.
And then…
A monster that was not entirely human appeared before the girls.
Its body was a full 3 meters tall, covered in fluffy fur that obscured its face and gave Lonis the smell of something burnt.
…
What is this?
The Silver-haired Girl felt a sense of familiarity, and Elus immediately grabbed her wrist and shouted:
“Idiot fox, fall back!”
“Ah!”
…
The monster raised its arms and smashed down forcefully at Lonis – and the most bizarre thing was that Lonis clearly felt that she was still a hundred meters away from the monster, but in the instant of its attack, its fist had already approached Lonis’s forehead.
Fortunately, Elus grabbed Lonis in time, saving the Silver-haired Girl from the fate of “being punished by accessories.”
“Idiot hero, be careful.”
“Ah, I, I know!”
“It’s good to have courage, but don’t be careless! This kind of power from the enemy should surpass conventional spatial power, right?”
…
Since space can be arbitrarily condensed or stretched, the concept of “distance” becomes meaningless.
On the contrary, ordinary people who are accustomed to the setting of “distance” are more easily captured by the illusion before them, and thus fall into a bitter struggle due to negligence.
…
(Should I counterattack with the Crystal Frost Dagger? But…)
…
Lonis summoned the Crystal Frost Dagger and attempted to slash at the monster’s neck, delivering a fatal blow.
However, she couldn’t grasp the rhythm of the spatial changes at all—after all, she was currently in the domain of the Time’s Tomb, and Lonis felt threatened from all sides; the monster’s attack could come from any direction!
If Senior Isumi were still here.
With her outstanding observational skills, she would definitely be able to help Lonis determine the direction… But Senior Isumi had already sacrificed herself, and the power of the Rainbow Abyss was still flowing, missing the most crucial second step.
Therefore, under the monster’s continuous attacks, Lonis was in constant peril.
Although she had tried her best to block, she was still hit several times by the monster—several accessories appeared on her body, inflicting curses upon her.
…
“Long Tail Curse: The fox tail will become stiff and solid, lasting for 10 minutes, and will not go limp until the curse ends.”
“Restriction Curse: Metal locks will be added to Lonis’s high heels, and every time she uses her legs to attack, she will feel a tingling sensation.”
“Texture Curse: Light pink patterns will appear on the lower abdomen, and every time magic power is used, there is a 5% chance of it affecting herself, increasing her entire body’s sensitivity by 100% for 3 minutes.”
…
Although these curses did not seem very terrifying, they were minor curses.
However, with too many curses, Lonis could easily panic!
This feeling was like the difference between going out dressed in male attire versus going out dressed in female attire—it was a completely different experience—and Lonis was also afraid of being burdened with more curses if the stalemate continued.
So her movements became somewhat flustered, and she seemed on the verge of exposing a flaw.
However, at this moment…
Elus sighed and said, “Silly idiot, I’m going to activate another button on the remote control.”
“Eh?!”
“The first button is for communication, and the second one…”
