Chapter 96
At night, in the detached manor area by the Anemo Archon Plaza.
Until they finished dinner, under Luo Li's signal, Eula followed him without any hesitation.
Seeing Raiden Makoto's expression remain normal, Mona, who had rolled her eyes a few times, asked curiously: "What are they going to do?"
Noelle informed her that Eula would be accepting the Teigu's power tonight, which made Mona click her tongue in wonder.
However, curiosity was curiosity; they wouldn't go and disturb them.
And with Luo Li gone, Fischl took the opportunity to tell stories about her adventures during this time.
Causing Noelle and Paimon to gasp repeatedly.
On the other side.
Eula followed Luo Li to the side room in the back courtyard of the manor; it was originally a utility room, but later it was renovated into a place for training and experiments.
It was just right, separated from the main garden, so even if any unexpected situation occurred, it wouldn't spread.
Because it was an enclosed space, the light seemed a bit dim.
For a man and a woman to come here at night, it was hard not to associate it with ambiguous things.
Luo Li himself had this feeling even more, especially seeing Eula follow so cooperatively and obediently, which inexplicably brought up certain scenes from doujinshi.
Quickly dispelling the strange thoughts lingering in his mind, he took the Teigu: Demon's Extract from the system space.
The pitch-black, evil jar engraved with the Demon Yaksha appeared in his hand again, and the blood rippling inside occasionally emitted cold white mist, exuding a rather evil and crazy aura.
When it really came to this moment, Luo Li's expression became much more solemn. With a casual wave, a mass of blood flew out of the jar, forming a small water mass that condensed in front of Eula.
According to his estimate, one-tenth of the amount was probably her current limit.
"Remember to keep your mind clear later; don't be eroded by the crazy will contained within."
Keeping Luo Li's instructions in mind, Eula didn't dare to be the least bit slack.
She could feel an extremely powerful force from it, and she nodded with excitement and joy in her heart.
"Prepare to start."
As soon as Luo Li finished speaking, Eula didn't hesitate to untie the black strap that seemed to support her chest, took off her short, tight-fitting bodysuit, and also removed her leather boots and straps.
A moment later, what appeared before his eyes was a perfect body carved by the heavens.
"???"
Luo Li was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted.
What he regretted was that the white chest wrap covered everything that should be covered, and the final effect was about the same as a swimsuit.
Taking a deep breath to prepare herself mentally, Eula's movements caused the abyss to tremble slightly.
"Then I'm coming."
She stepped closer to Luo Li, then took a light breath, and the small water mass flowed into her mouth as if it had a life of its own.
In just a short moment, Eula's face suddenly turned pale, and crazy whispers and desires for slaughter rose uncontrollably from her mind, even staining her pale golden eyes with a bit of blood color.
Painfully clutching her head and kneeling on the ground, the young girl let out unbearable screams and moans.
At the same time, an icy aura extended from her body, covering the entire room in a moment.
Thick layers of ice condensed, with only the place where Luo Li was remaining normal.
Quietly watching all this, he didn't step in to help.
Any power gained has a certain price; experiencing this process would make her better at using it and understanding its merits.
The continuous pain made Eula suffer for a full quarter of an hour, during which she kept her mind tightly held, fighting against the endless bestiality.
After another unknown amount of time passed, the cold air escaping from her body became less and less, until it disappeared completely.
Curled up and lying on the ice, the pain on Eula's face gradually lessened, and only her body, which twitched from time to time, told others that the embers hadn't ended yet.
Under her short ice-blue hair, the cold sweat that had spilled out due to the pain had already condensed into ice dregs, adorning the girl's forehead like tiny, sparkling gems.
Only a trace or two of blood remained in her eyes, and her pale lips were bitten by herself, dripping with blood, giving people a sense of pity for a sickly, cold beauty.
Only then did Luo Li approach her side and crouch down.
Staring at the girl's weak appearance, his voice was gentler than it had ever been.
"You succeeded. You really are a strong, good girl."
Eula suppressed the waves of pain, and a faint, proud smile spilled from the corners of her mouth.
"I will never let you down."
"Hmm, I know."
Reaching out to pick her up in a princess carry, Luo Li discovered that after drinking the Demon's Extract, the power of the demon's blood had also condensed a faint, pitch-black symbol on Eula's chest.
At this moment, the girl lost her usual sharpness and pride, leaning weakly in his arms, wrapping her hands around his neck, and rarely enjoying the embrace she was so attached to.
"How do you feel?"
"Hmm, it still hurts a little, but I can accept it."
As she spoke, Eula pulled out one hand, and even though her Ice Vision hadn't been used, an ice cone exuding a biting chill appeared in her palm.
"You can actually use the power of the ice element without using a Vision!"
Eula opened her eyes slightly, her gaze fixed on the ice cone filled with astonishment.
And judging by the aura flowing in her body, this was an incredibly vast amount of power.
More importantly, she had only drunk less than one-tenth; if she drank it all, how strong would she be?!
Thinking of this scene, Eula was very excited, but as the lingering pain in her mind struck again, she couldn't help but shiver.
Strong is truly strong, but the pain is also truly painful.
If she could, she would definitely never want to experience it again.
However, being able to trade pain for a princess carry didn't seem like such a bad deal.
With thoughts that were completely incomprehensible turning in her little head, Eula was a little happy.
"Once you get used to it, freezing mountains and seas will be a piece of cake."
Luo Li described the blueprint of the future power of the ice Teigu to her; this thing could condense huge ice balls to smash down from the sky—as long as the imagination was sufficient, there was nothing that couldn't be done.
It was just that he didn't know if the move to freeze time and space could be awakened and practiced.
He said this to arouse Eula's competitive spirit for hard training, but what the girl was thinking at the moment was that if she were strong enough, the process of clearing out monster disasters would be shortened.
That way, she could have more time to stay by Luo Li's side.
A perfectly fine, proud genius girl who wanted to revive the Lawrence clan had now fallen into an "ordinary girl" who was distracted by considering things for a man.
If those who knew her were to find out, they would definitely be shocked.
