Save Your Heroic Spirit, Squid Girl Ate Her!

Borrowing the Valkyrie Statue?

Isn't this a bit outrageous? We've heard of borrowing money, weapons, food, and mounts, but who's ever heard of borrowing a statue of a god?

Which temple would dare to lend out the statue of its own deity? If a clergy member were to actually lend out the statue of their temple's deity, it would not only be a matter of blasphemy, but would also indicate a problem with the clergy member's faith, and they might be considered a heretic.

In more serious cases, they might be considered by other clergy to have their souls corrupted by impurities, thus becoming "Heretical Believer."

No matter how you look at it, the young dragon felt that no priest would dare to lend the idols from his temple to the evil dragon.

Unless the evil dragon sneaks into the temple and steals the Valkyrie's statue... wait!!

Could the "borrow" mentioned by the dragon actually mean "steal"?

Infiltrating the temple and stealing a statue of a Valkyrie? Hiss—

The young dragon gasped. It was possible! It was very likely! Given the dragon's nature, he was absolutely capable of stealing the Valkyrie Statue.

Especially when he becomes convinced that the Valkyrie is Elder Sister Sophia who owes him money, he feels no guilt whatsoever.

The baby dragon wanted to cry.

Can she really survive to adulthood while following such a vicious dragon?

It's not the young dragon reaching adulthood, it's the Imperial Daughter of the Farolyn Empire reaching adulthood. Will she live to see next year? "You... you... the 'borrow' you're talking about, is it the kind of 'borrow' I'm imagining?"

"It shouldn't be."

Lance believed that the education of young dragons should start from a young age, and that they should try not to lie if possible.

He was willing to ask the clergy of the Valkyrie Temple to borrow a statue, but the problem was that the clergy might not dare to lend it to him.

If we don't lend it to him, he'll have to find another way.

"Lance, don't borrow the idol anymore. What will happen to the temple clergy when they pray to the gods the next day? What will happen to the believers when they pray to the gods? The key point is, you borrowed the idol, which might attract the pursuit of the temple clergy and Holy Knight."

"I'm also thinking about the series of consequences that borrowing the statue might cause. I'm not afraid of being hunted down, but it would be bad to cause too much of a commotion."

Lucia, the young dragon, breathed a sigh of relief. Right, the evil dragon wasn't the kind of reckless dragon who acted without considering the consequences. He must have been able to think of the consequences of stealing the temple statue.

It's fine to say we're borrowing the statue, as long as we don't actually "borrow" the Valkyrie Statue back.

Following the dragon can be heartwarming at times, and terrifying at others.

Warmth will give her the feeling that life is just ordinary, with a little bit of fun.

When she was filled with fear, she felt that living with the dragon and being able to live peacefully to adulthood would be a victory.

There really are two kinds of evil dragons.

One type is the evil dragon that dares to borrow the idol of a god.

One type is the evil dragon that only kidnaps princesses.

"If the statues of the Valkyrie Temple are taken away, the temple will become empty. The temple clergy will definitely feel empty, and when they pray, they may feel that they have lost their spiritual support."

"It's not a big problem, I can handle it. Tomorrow when we go to Lionheart City, we'll visit the Valkyrie Temple."

"!!!"

"Ouch, ouch. My stomach suddenly hurts so much. I'm afraid I won't be able to go to the human world with you tomorrow. Lance, you go to the human world by yourself tomorrow. I'll stay here and look after the house. Don't worry, my stomach won't hurt tomorrow, and I'll finish your lessons properly."

"Take Squid Girl with you."

The young dragon groaned and rolled around on the flowers and grass, clutching her belly with her claws. Let her go; she's just a little Imperial Daughter who hasn't even come of age yet. She really wouldn't dare to steal a statue of a god. The dragon isn't afraid of being targeted by the Valkyrie, but she is. She doesn't want to be pinned to the wall by the Valkyrie's spear.

She no longer wants to go to the human world she so longs for.

She wanted to stay obediently in the dragon's den, enjoying tea, reading, and painting, becoming an elegant young dragon.

"Didn't you promise Joanna you'd help her tend the garden tomorrow? I've prepared all the seeds, soil, and pure, organic fertilizer you need. If you don't go, how can you face your friendship with Joanna?"

"Oh right, then I'll go to the City Lord's Mansion tomorrow to help Joanna tidy up the garden. Don't take me with you when you go to the temple."

"Don't be afraid, we are the creditors. What creditor is afraid of being in debt? Paying back debts is a matter of course. Even gods have to pay back debts. If they don't, we'll move the statue here and have a good talk with her. We'll talk to her every night. I don't believe she won't get annoyed with me."

"But, Lance, I've heard that some creditors in the human world, when they go to collect debts, will cling to the debtor's legs and beg them to pay."

"."

The image of the evil dragon clinging to the Valkyrie Statue's leg and begging Sophia for her money flashed through his mind. Heh, that kind of thing would never happen to him.

Sophia, whom he knew, had a very good reputation; had she not died so suddenly, she would have returned the 132 gold coins to him long ago.

That's really bad.

They came to the human world for a visit, so why not just unleash their powers when they die?

Shouldn't I go to the toilet and let that Beast Tide witness the Valkyrie's prowess? "And also, and also... if Elder Sister Sophia really is Valkyrie, then you're her creditor, not me. I'm afraid the Valkyrie will beat me up!"

"What are you afraid of? You have the right of inheritance. If I die one day, you can inherit part of my estate. At that time, you will naturally become their creditor and collect the debts on their behalf."

"."

"Evil dragon, I've said it so many times, if that day ever comes, you'll be the one inheriting my estate, never me." "Alright, go to sleep. I was just joking. Actually, I wouldn't dare to be a god when it comes to borrowing idols. If someone's really determined to renege on their debt, I wouldn't dare to force them to pay. I'm afraid of getting beaten up. Go to sleep."

Lance closed his vertical pupils, trying to fall asleep.

Young Dragon is too timid; if I don't comfort her like this, she'll probably toss and turn all night, unable to sleep.

"No, no... you're not lying to me?"

The baby dragon was answered by the faint Dragon Roar of the evil dragon as it slept.

She can fall asleep instantly without any worries. When will she be able to be as carefree as the dragon?

The sighing young dragon rolled over, facing the wall, curled up its tail, and fell fast asleep.

July 9th, 3455 of the Black Dragon Calendar, sunny.

The sky was clear and cloudless.

Squid Girl is here. She said she arrived at dawn.

Seeing her practicing her Life Nurturing Exercise with the dragon, I tried to join in. However, because she had so many tentacles, they got tangled up. She rolled from the beach into the sea, then back to the beach, finding she couldn't untangle them. The Squid Girl asked me to help her untangle them. This was her first encounter with a ferocious creature other than a dragon. "I can help you untangle your tentacles. But don't take the opportunity to roll me into your mouth and eat me. Okay?"

"May I lick you and taste it?"

"???"

"Can't!!!"

Rejecting the Squid Girl's impolite request, the young dragon cautiously approached her and helped untangle Squid Girl knotted tentacles.

How stupid! You can get your tentacles tangled up just by practicing some Life Nurturing Exercise, how could your own hands get tangled up? It's only because the evil dragon was kind that he didn't take the opportunity to skewer the Squid Girl and put her on the barbecue grill. The Squid Girl didn't keep her word!

She almost licked her head! If the dragon hadn't caught her tongue with tweezers in time, his head would have been covered in the Squid Girl's saliva! The siren has no integrity!

"Can you please change your bad habit of wanting to eat and lick everything you see?"

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts... it's loose, it's loose... my tongue hurts."

"Do me a favor, go back into the sea and reveal your true form, help me test the combat power of heroic spirits, how about it?"

Squid Girl nodded; Black Dragon wanted her to help test the combat strength of his clan.

The combat strength of the familia should be decent; those who are too weak are not qualified to be familia. Asking her to help with the testing shows that the Black Dragon is very confident in the combat strength of his familia.

The Squid Girl entered the sea and transformed back into her original form.

Countless swirling and twisting shadows instantly appeared beneath the azure sea.

The baby dragon ran away.

Using Deep Sea Siren to test the combat power of heroic spirits is utterly inhumane.

That's absolutely outrageous.

Lance transformed into a human and flew over the sea.

When the Squid Girl was hiding under the sea, saw the black dragon turn into a cute little person, her appetite was suddenly aroused. More than a dozen twisting and dancing tentacles rushed out of the sea and rushed towards the black dragon that had turned into a human.

She wanted to openly and honestly put the black dragon roll in her mouth and taste it.

Lance dodged the Squid Girl's attack and simultaneously activated the Heroic Spirit Array to summon heroic spirits.

A huge golden array appeared in the sky above the sea.

Unlike last night, the moment the golden array appeared, a heroic spirit dressed in Fire-red Robe and wearing a crown appeared directly on the Heroic Spirit Array.

I was born from flames, and I will carry those flames with me to burn away all the sins and evils of the world.

The Squid Girl, still lurking beneath the surface, became even more excited when she saw another cute little person appear in the sky above the sea. Countless tentacles burst out of the water, creating towering waves.

Upon seeing this scene, the Flame Queen, who had just stepped down from the Heroic Spirit Array, instinctively opened her mouth to shout, "Lance, help me!" Those twisted, dancing tentacles, each bearing a face-like feature, were terrifying; they scared her so much she couldn't walk. She held back.

This opponent is far too terrifying.

Even Lance might not be able to beat him.

"Lance, run! I'll protect you this time."

The Flame Queen was engulfed in fiery red flames, and the surrounding space began to distort.

A world filled with flames and terrifying monsters appeared on the sea.

The two combat skills were combined in the hope of giving Lance a chance to escape.

Countless tentacles surged into the Flame Queen's fantasy world in an instant. The terrifying and ferocious monsters pounced on the surging tentacles and began to bite them.

The tentacles that flooded into the fantasy world casually coiled and swung, instantly strangling and crushing the monsters within.

The flames spread to the Squid Girl's tentacles.

Countless tentacles twisted and danced wildly, shattering the Flame Queen's fantasy world in an instant. Upon seeing this, the Flame Queen turned and smiled at Lance, her flames suddenly burning even more fiercely.

"Run! Next time, remember to summon a powerful Heroic Spirit!"

The Flame Queen lunged at the countless dark tentacles, determined to burn herself and see if she could incinerate the monster with her flames.

Protect Lance once.

The Squid Girl, lurking beneath the sea, excitedly poked her head out of the water when she saw the cute little figure flying directly towards her. She spat a mouthful of ink at the Flame Queen Flame Queen, extinguishing the flames on her body. Then, with a flick of her tongue, she rolled the Flame Queen into her mouth. The speed was so fast that Lance, who was standing in the void deep in thought, didn't even have time to react.

The young dragon, still perched on the turtle's back, cried out in alarm when it saw the Queen Heroic Spirit being eaten by the Squid Girl.

"Lance! Save your heroic spirit! The Squid Girl has eaten your heroic spirit!!!"
