Chapter 140: Monster? Black-bellied!

"There isn't much time left," the girl suddenly spoke up.

"Awoo!" A low, rumbling growl issued from the giant Wolf's mouth.

"That disgusting guy is catching up!"

"Are you coming with us?" The girl looked at Elena again and invited her.

"Ye, yes!" After hesitating for only a moment, Elena immediately agreed.

If she didn't go with them, was she supposed to wait for her soul to dissipate on its own? As long as one's brain was functioning properly, surely no one would make such a choice.

"Very well."

The girl nodded; no expression could be discerned on her masked face.

She gently raised her hand, and a bone necklace hanging with a silver magatama appeared in her palm.

"Put it on," the girl said softly.

Without hesitation, Elena took the necklace and placed it around her neck.

And the moment she put on the necklace, a soft white light, like a fresh sprout, lit up from the bone magatama on the necklace.

Elena felt her soul instantly become much more condensed; her spirit body, which had felt as if it would scatter at a gust of wind, now possessed a texture akin to flesh and blood.

"Congratulations, you are now a follower of a half-baked deity." The giant Wolf revealed a ferocious smile at the corner of its mouth and said, "No matter what you're thinking right now, if you dare to regret it later, I will eat you!"

"No one can escape the hunt," the girl added softly.

After a pause, seeing that Elena did not reply, the girl said, "Let's go."

After she finished speaking, she turned and left toward the distance, the giant Wolf following by her side, inseparable.

Seeing this, Elena immediately followed.

Before leaving, she took one last look at her own corpse and at Natavia, who was gripping her neck.

"I hope Princess will not be too heartbroken," she thought, and her figure, along with the girl and the giant Wolf, gradually dissipated into this land.

"Hmm?"

Natavia seemed to perceive something at this moment and frowned.

Her five fingers exerted a slight force, instantly snapping Elena's neck, and then she tossed the corpse onto the ground.

"An illusion?"

After waiting in place for a dozen seconds, Natavia turned to look at the residential area on the other side of the arched bridge, which was shrouded in blood-red mist.

"Some small fish remain..."

She whispered, stepping toward the other side of the arched bridge.

As she passed by Aidier, the Night Walk who had not yet died, she casually flicked a thread of blood, striking the opponent's head.

"This is just the beginning." Without even glancing at the corpses of the two Night Walks, Natavia stepped into the depths of the fog.

"We truly have no malice," Yun Mu said, walking out alone to stand before Meiyin.

Since both were Second-tier Transcendents, she did not believe the other could take her down quickly.

Moreover, if the other party truly dared to make a move, the Shadow Guard watching from behind her would not stand idly by.

In such a safe situation, she did not mind making some gestures of goodwill.

"Don't be nervous," Yun Mu said while walking, attempting to soothe her: "If I wanted to make a move, you alone would not be able to stop me."

"."

Meiyin did not speak, merely observing the massive Dabai standing behind Yun Mu, as well as the Scarlet Knight wearing a full set of heavy plate armor, exuding an aura that suggested they were not to be trifled with.

And there was also Lucy, who appeared to be an Alchemist.

Beyond that, the most dangerous of all was the Shadow Guard, who, despite emitting no aura at all, seemed capable of slitting her throat at any moment.

If she were to fall out with them, she would definitely lose, Meiyin judged to herself.

She silently released her grip on the hammer handle and raised both hands.

"I surrender, please do with me as you wish," she said.

"Pfft!"

Yun Mu, still about three meters away from Meiyin, nearly lost her composure upon hearing those words.

What kind of wild, aggressive talk was this? "I already said, I have no malice!" she emphasized again.

"I, I won't say anything, give up on that," the Young Girl closed her eyes, turning her head toward the ground to the side.

"E, even if you torture me, I will absolutely not betray the Lady of the Dark Night!" She wriggled her body inexplicably, her voice trembling slightly for some unknown reason.

"Haha... this feeling of trembling, where life and death are not in one's own control and everything is unknown..." The Young Girl bit her lip, her long, beautiful legs, wrapped in nun's robes, rubbing against each other.

Yun Mu: "???"

"Sigh," Huoerfu smoked his cigarette with a miserable expression.

"What's wrong with you?" Seeing this, Edward, who was already feeling a bit bored, asked Huoerfu.

"Nothing." Huoerfu shook his head and said, "It's just that thinking about the personality of the newcomer I'm leading gives me a headache."

"Personality?" Edward raised an eyebrow. Based on the impression the Young Girl named Meiyin had left on him earlier, he hadn't noticed any personality flaws that would cause a headache.

"Sigh." Looking at Edward's expression, Huoerfu sighed again and said, "She is very normal most of the time."

"Although she looks a bit cold, she is actually very gentle inside, except..."

After a pause, Huoerfu seemed to be thinking about how to describe it. He said, "When facing Fear, she becomes very excited."

At this point, Huoerfu couldn't help but shiver, saying, "She is a monster who feels more pleasure the more she fears."

"Excited by Fear?" Edward was curious.

Could such a contradictory psychology, of being both afraid and excited, really exist? "Isn't this good material for a Soldier?" he imagined for a moment.

"." Huoerfu gave Edward a look that was hard to describe, but in the end, he said nothing.

He just smoked his cigarette in silence, then lightly exhaled a ring of smoke.

"I, I lost my composure."

After a few minutes passed, seeing that Yun Mu truly had no intention of doing anything, Meiyin's emotions gradually calmed down.

At this moment, her rational brain regained the high ground; while feeling a bit ashamed, she also inexplicably said with some regret: "In, in any case, I still don't trust you for the time being."

"I was just forced by you to come along, d-don't misunderstand."

"A-anyway, you must be taking me somewhere, I, I will not yield!" The Young Girl said, her face flushed red as she hugged her shoulders.

"Can you not be so dramatic?" Yun Mu's mouth twitched, not really wanting to pay attention to this person whose head was full of lewd thoughts.

"It seems Brenna is not here." She turned her head to look at the Shadow Guard and said.

"."

The Shadow Guard did not answer Yun Mu, only silently lowering his head, not knowing what he was thinking about.

After a long while, he finally spoke: "You should continue moving toward the exit."

"Before finding the Princess, as a Shadow Guard, I cannot leave alone," he said with a serious expression.

PS: Heeheehee, Meiyin is the character I designed with the most contrast.

Her petite figure uses a War Hammer as a weapon, and as a nun, her personality has an indescribable side.

It's just too great!
