Lid said regretfully.
“You seem quite relaxed, just watching from the side. Can’t you lend a hand?”
Shien said with annoyance, but he continued walking deeper into the cave.
Lid jumped onto Shien’s head.
“It’s not that I don’t want to help, but I can’t.” Lid said nonchalantly, “Unlike Millu, who can unleash her power freely, the amount of power I can exert is directly related to my current form (size). To unleash enough power to destroy a legendary existence, this environment isn’t suitable.”
“Suitable?” Shien asked curiously, “What kind of environment do you need?”
“It’s simple.” Lid glanced at Shien. “The place needs to be big and wide enough, and there can’t be any innocent bystanders who might be affected.”
…That sounded dangerous.
“Isn’t this place suitable?”
Shien asked carefully.
“It’s not that it’s not suitable.” Lid, as if seeing through Shien’s thoughts, said with a smirk, “But as I said, unleashing enough power to destroy a legendary existence would be a problem.”
If she did that, not only this “small” cave, but even the entire Tegor Forest might be destroyed.
Lid didn’t say this out loud.
She only said,
“I don’t want to become a sinner of the human world. Therefore, this place is yours to deal with.”
Lid said, acting like a hands-off boss.
“Your ability to order people around is truly transcendent.”
Shien rolled his eyes.
“Thank you for the compliment.”
Lid replied nonchalantly.
The two continued deeper into the cave, bickering.
The darkness deepened.
…
Meanwhile, at the cave’s deepest point, the sound of splashing water suddenly echoed.
“One of the sacrifices’ magic power has disappeared…?”
With this voice, the splashing grew louder.
There was a clear pool of water here.
From the pool, a graceful and alluring figure emerged, standing up and stretching her seductive body.
Her body was naked, her beauty on full display, her wet hair cascading down.
But her brows were furrowed, and she muttered,
“It seems a rat has snuck in.”
The woman was certain of this.
Otherwise, under the current circumstances, without her guidance, those legendary-level Demonized Beings shouldn’t be able to devour each other so easily.
Now, the magic power reaction of one Demonized Being had disappeared, but the magic power of the others hadn’t increased.
This only meant that the Demonized Being wasn’t devoured, but eliminated.
And that wasn’t something a Demonized Being could do.
They only devoured, not destroyed.
So, what had happened was obvious.
“Has this place been discovered?”
The woman muttered to herself.
“This is a bit troublesome.”
Saying so, the woman’s expression didn’t change much. Instead, she relaxed her frown.
“Oh well, I was planning to use the Demonized Beings here to attack the Elven Homeland soon anyway. This place would be exposed sooner or later.”
Besides, this place was no longer needed.
Otherwise, those above wouldn’t have allowed her to use the Demonized Beings here to attack the Elven Homeland.
It was just a little earlier than planned.
“Let me see who has come.”
Saying so, the woman got out of the water, walked to the shore, picked up a black robe, and put it on, concealing her alluring, wet body.
Then, barefoot, with water dripping from her body, she raised her head.
A pair of crimson eyes flickered within.
“I’m looking forward to our reunion, Sophie.”
The woman touched her ears and smiled seductively.
Those ears were long and pointed.
