So Dark
Li Yan's words were like the whisper of death. The Monsters girl could already feel the Mana gathering in the staff in Frieren's hand. She couldn't help but lower her head and shake it desperately. Tears welled up in her eyes and slowly dripped to the ground.
"Why won't you admit it? Are you still trying to evoke our sympathy with your ridiculous acting?"
Li Yan chuckled and reached out to lift the Monsters girl. Beneath her body was a small cave containing dozens of skeletons, including those of adventurers who had just been drained of their flesh and were buried there as nourishment.
Compared to those enormous, ugly, and terrifying Monsters, Li Yan felt even more disgusted by Monsters girls who were harmless and attracted travelers to come and take a Monsters.
The Monsters girl, her true form exposed, turned cold. Countless vines around her attacked Frieren and the others like needles, but the next second, several Mana Greatsword appeared in the sky, instantly slicing the vines that were trying to attack into pieces.
Li Yan glanced up casually and couldn't help but scoff. The Monsters girl in front of her was clearly cornered; as the saying goes, even a rabbit will bite when cornered.
"No... don't kill me, I'll never do it again."
Seemingly overwhelmed by the oppressive power of the Mana Greatsword in the air, the Monsters girl trembled and whispered. She had begun to fear and beg for mercy. She knew that if she didn't speak up, she might never be able to speak again.
"Such a realistic reaction! These Monsters are said to devour travelers' memories, which is why they can so vividly disguise themselves as real humans. In their minds, human girls are better at deceiving passing adventurers."
Solitär said this. She had read many books about Monsters. Among them, the Monsters girl was the weakest, but also the Monsters that hunted the most humans. Compared to those large Monsters, this kind of Monsters was a notorious killer of novice adventurers.
"It seems they really did eat quite a few people!"
Looking at the skeletons and mummies in the cave, Li Yan couldn't help but shake his head slightly. If the other party hadn't killed anyone, he would still be willing to give them a chance to live, such as raising a bonsai that would turn into a beautiful girl. But as it stands, raising such a despicable Monsters only makes him feel nauseous.
Even Aura is better than her. Although Aura has killed many humans, at least Aura crushes them openly and fairly with her own strength, instead of resorting to methods like luring people in and deceiving their feelings. Such methods not only shatter other people's kindness but also take their lives.
This kind of Monsters deceives people's emotions and bodies; it's unacceptable.
To commemorate the souls lost in the cave, Li Yan indifferently pointed his hand close to the Monsters girl's face, "Hellfire!"
The flames of hell burned the Monsters girl's face at close range, and a sharp Monsters scream escaped from Monsters mouth. Then, green sap sprayed out, and the spray of blood had already turned into flammable material for the Hellfire to burn. The Monsters girl's whole body was covered in flames and completely turned into charcoal.
"Young master, this is just a clone it created; its real body is still inside the cave."
Solitär smiled and reminded them that to truly kill this Monsters, one must eradicate it completely, digging out its roots.
"No problem!"
Li Yan silently spread his hand, and the ground instantly cracked open. Countless vines were torn apart by a giant hand formed from mud, followed by hellfire, and the sharp shrieks of Monsters rang out once more...
After the Monsters girl's death, Li Yan led the Frieren girls on a journey through the forest, enjoying the natural beauty while casually killing Monsters that threatened humanity.
Three years have passed. Looking at the route Himmel has taken, Li Yan couldn't help but sigh. The enemy's offensive is really too slow. It's still almost a year's journey to the Demons Demon King's Castle's lair. You have to remember that the Hero of the South could easily rush to the Demons front line to resupply back then.
But considering that Himmel must have been leveling up and fighting monsters along the way, Li Yan didn't feel comfortable urging them to hurry up and defeat the Demon King. The main reason was that he was curious about the Demon King's strength.
"Senior brother, it's so dark inside, please save me!"
Li Yan, who had cleared the Underground Labyrinth in front of Himmel in advance, put down the map in his hand and looked at Frieren, whose head was trapped inside Mimic, speechless. This was already the 1,721st time. Every time he encountered Mimic.
There was no other way; there were only a few treasure chests, and Frieren liked to open them, so Li Yan had no choice but to spoil her. He was the only one who could pamper his Junior Sister; everyone else would just bully her.
"Junior Sister, why don't you use magic to blow up the Mimic yourself? At least you'll get a new curly hairstyle, saving you the trouble of getting a perm at the hair salon."
As Li Yan watched as the porcelain-white legs were gradually swallowed by the Mimic, he calmly sat to the side, waiting for the appearance of Frieren with her naturally curly hair.
