Chapter 278: Private Aid

Then Luo De and Sharon intervened.

Luo De still looked puzzled:

"Those two insignificant brats, where did they get an eighth-rank legendary spell? Even if someone gave such a technique to an ambitious evil faction, how could anyone think that? Don't they think the Dark Elves are strong enough already?"

The legendary mage and domain mage told you before entering the dimensional space, but that doesn't mean their spell's power can't be brought into the dimensional space.

Sharon ran her hand along her tail, from base to tip.

She continued:

"I don't fully understand the exact process or principle—it's one of the deepest secrets of human magic, perhaps something like the 【Frayed Disc】 for storing spells. As for them giving this technique to others—hah, the Bahadur types have always been this arrogant."

Luo De had no energy to retort.

He gazed far off at the sky above the battlefield.

Another earth-shattering 【Inferno Explosion】 erupted, radiating dazzling brilliance.

"But this doesn't look like a one-time use."

"Please rest assured, Lord Luo De!"

The junior kneeling at his feet beamed with fervent admiration, "Senior Wilson has set up a delayed detonation ritual on the legendary spell item—it will destroy itself after some time!"

"I see. Thanks for the heads-up."

Luo De smiled and patted her head.

The junior instantly teared up and couldn't help lowering her head to kiss the toe of his shoe.

Sharon frowned and walked over, staring at the dazed girl.

"What's going on? Did you cast a charm spell?"

"Don't be ridiculous. I didn't."

She kicked the girl away, sending her clear of Luo De's pant leg.

"What are you doing?! Bitch!"

The girl snarled in rage, forgetting her current status entirely.

Sharon sneered and fired a magic missile, effortlessly blowing off her head.

"Her mind collapsed, so your charm effect amplified. Bahadur's students are truly pathetic—can't even cast a mental barrier spell?"

"I repeat—I didn't use any charm spell. It's purely due to my personal charm. Don't make me sound like some wandering bard who seduces girls with spells."

"Didn't you? Do you think I believe that? In bed—uh, never mind."

Luo De laughed.

He leaned in and asked, "In bed what? Are you referring to that time you pushed yourself backward? Or when you whispered, urging me to go faster? I never knew—apparently people in mental struggles can talk in their sleep."

Sharon glared at him fiercely.

She lifted her leg to kick.

Of course, he caught her ankle without hesitation.

The right leg, lightly furred, felt soft and warm to the touch.

Sharon could feel the warmth and friction of his palm; her body unconsciously grew numb and limp.

Faint memories of the bed in 【Li Oumeng's Secret Hut】 surfaced.

Her cheeks flushed red.

"Let go."

Luo De ignored her, pulling her into his arms instead.

He gripped her slender waist tightly.

"I know you're capable now, but honestly, the Plague Domain isn't something good."

Before he finished, Sharon wrapped her arms around his neck, rose on her toes, and kissed him.

She was aggressive, extremely forward—her tongue longer and broader than average.

Her technique was slightly clumsy, yet her passion was unmistakable.

She broke the kiss, moving to his cheek, ear, jaw, and neck.

Leaving behind a trail of saliva.

It was less a kiss, more a licking.

Sharon's dog-tribe tail thrashed wildly.

【Sharon's obedience +5, current obedience: 69】

After a long while, she reluctantly pulled away.

She pressed her smooth forehead against Luo De's nose.

Her bright, cunning eyes rolled upward.

Her damp lips, vividly alluring, curled into a mischievous smile: "See? I told you—you have a charm spell."

"That's a succubus's bodily fluid—Tally gave me a spiritual technique."

As a mage who controls the Plague Domain, she could naturally dispel the charm fluid's effect afterward.

Luo De knew she didn't want to discuss it, so he let it drop.

He never liked lingering physical contact.

"No wonder it smelled so sweet. But I'll remember—I've imprinted your scent completely, deeply, into my mind. Next time I smell it, I'll run straight to you for food."

He smiled: "Are you a stray dog?"

"Um—"

The arachnid elf beside them spoke hesitantly.

Sharon instantly changed expression, shoving Luo De away and crossing her arms.

"What is it, little spider? Do you want to join them in death too?"

"No, my lords."

Yuna wanted to kneel, but she didn't know how spiders were supposed to kneel.

So she lowered her upper body, bowing until nearly touching the ground.

Her voice trembled.

"I am Yuna of the Hopkins clan, a Dark Elf who failed Ros's trial and became this. After enduring my clan's scorn, my sister and I resolved to escape. Could—could my lords lend us a little aid? Help my sister break free? Whether you succeed or not, I will serve you as your slave, your beast of burden."

"No. I'm busy."

Sharon spoke bluntly.

She stood in front of Luo De, unsure whether she was blocking the girl's potential attack—or the glimpse of youthful curves revealed by her deep bow.

"Who is this 'Ros'?"

Who knows where the Dark Elves found their patron? No one on the continent has even seen her true form. I suspect she's an evil cosmic entity summoned from the dimensional space, Sharon sneered.

Luo De stepped past her and gently lifted the arachnid elf.

"I'm sorry, Sister Yuna. We have important matters to attend to—we can't help you."

"Ah."

Yuna offered a bitter smile. "It's fine, Lord Luo De. I understand."

"But—I'm willing to give you and your sister a small personal favor."

With that, two magic rings were pressed into her palm.

The contact with the warm, male hand made Yuna slightly uneasy—especially since his fingers lingered gently for a while.

Though Dark Elves commonly host silver parties, that's only after their Coming-of-Age Rite.

The young sisters Yuna and Yufei were still pure, and after failing the trial and becoming arachnid elves, they'd had no such experiences.

"Look—these are two 【Shadow Step】 magic rings. They let you and your sister move through shadows."

Yuna's face lit up instantly.

Her sister Yufei's mobility had always been a major problem—carrying her sister with severed limbs was too conspicuous. Now, with this, they could escape safely!

"Thank you, Lord Luo De!"

She bowed deeply, overflowing with gratitude.

She studied Luo De's face carefully, resolved to repay him thoroughly once she escaped.
