For some reason, as she looked at the Teleportation Array emitting a white light, Luwei suddenly felt a tingling sensation on her scalp.
“Your Highness, just what… did you summon?”
Floxi’s exclamation reached her ears, but Luwei had no time to worry about that.
In the next second, a shrill, piercing scream rang out.
Luwei’s face paled, and she covered her ears.
Immediately after, a powerful gust of wind pressure erupted from the center of the array, leaving Luwei nearly breathless.
“Your Highness, watch out!”
The violent air currents scattered Floxi’s warning.
At almost the same time, the white light emitted by the array was instantly dyed a sinister crimson…
“What on earth is this thing?”
Luwei shouted, but the sound of the wind and screams was so loud she could hardly hear herself.
In her desperation, she gripped the Silver Gun in her hand…
‘Right, bullets…’
Luwei took a handful of Silver Coins from her pocket.
The moment they touched the gun’s barrel, the coins melted into a silvery liquid.
Then, she raised her trembling arm, aimed at the blood-colored array, and pulled the trigger.
Boom!
With a deafening roar, the screaming stopped abruptly…
The crimson Mana began to dissipate slowly.
“I actually… managed to kill it?”
Luwei shook her dizzy head and focused her gaze on the monster’s corpse on the ground—was it a bat the size of a human torso?
As the surrounding crimson hue began to fade, the bat monster’s corpse gradually shrank.
Finally, it returned to a normal size.
“The Silver Gun really works!”
“But does a bat count as a member of the Blood Clan…?”
Before Luwei could recover from the shock, she saw a small slip of paper slowly drifting down from the air.
[Vera, a bat-type monster]
[The Familiar of the Vampire Princess Lilique. During the Blood Clan’s mutiny, it used Random Teleportation Magic to escape with Lilique. Due to a flaw in the teleportation magic, it was separated from her.]
Luwei stared at the bat on the ground with shock and uncertainty.
‘What kind of thing did I just pull? And how is a Vampire Princess involved?! This ugly, ferocious little bat is actually the Vampire Princess’s Familiar?’
Luwei carefully recalled the game’s settings…
It seemed that was indeed the case.
She vaguely remembered that in Lilique’s character art, a small bat was perched on her shoulder…
‘So that bat wasn’t just a decoration!’
She had accidentally killed the Vampire Princess’s Familiar…
Luwei’s expression turned grim.
The Vampire Princess, Lilique, was an incredibly powerful being.
In the original plot, she only fell at the hands of the blind Luwei because the Villain Luwei had exploited Lilique’s kindness to launch a sneak attack.
But now… Luwei had killed Lilique’s Familiar.
There would be no room for kindness next time!
As soon as they met, she would definitely seek revenge for her Familiar.
Thinking of this, Luwei felt her hands and feet grow cold as a cold sweat broke out.
If a mere Familiar possessed such power…
When Lilique eventually came knocking, wouldn’t she be able to wipe her out with a single finger?
She poked the dead Familiar on the ground.
“It’s over… everything is over…!”
“Is there any way we can make peace?”
Luwei murmured, her small face filled with desolation…
Perhaps because she was too deep in despair, she didn’t notice a figure draped in a quilt quietly approaching from behind…
In the next second, Luwei felt a dark shroud fall over her head…
“…Huh?”
Then, a warm embrace pressed against her from behind.
“Wait, Floxi…!”
Before Luwei could finish, she felt the world spin.
She was tackled to the ground by Floxi…
Thud.
Luwei’s body made intimate contact with the ground…
“Waaaah, Lady Luwei!” a voice filled with self-reproach cried out.
“I’m sorry, waaaah… I couldn’t help at all!”
Floxi clung to Luwei like an octopus.
“That was so dangerous… that… that monster was so strong!”
“I thought…”
Floxi sobbed hysterically, but beneath her, Luwei’s head was ringing.
Luwei tried to move, but her limbs were pinned down by Floxi…
“Alright, don’t worry. I’m fine,” she offered some comfort, but Floxi showed no sign of letting go…
“Uwahhh… Your Highness, I’m so glad you’re okay!”
A wave of panic rose within Luwei as she found it difficult to breathe.
“Get off me first… don’t do this…”
But Floxi completely ignored her weak cries and continued to hug and nuzzle her.
“Hey, I can’t breathe…”
Slapping at the arm wrapped around her waist, which felt as solid as a steel bar, Luwei truly felt the gap in strength between them.
Her struggling was like a child throwing a tantrum in front of Floxi, who had a Strength: 14.
“It’s my fault for failing as your guard… ugh… please punish me!”
The blonde furball clinging to her nuzzled Luwei’s face affectionately, but the recipient couldn’t appreciate it—she was about to pass out from lack of air…
‘Damn it… is she trying to take revenge under the guise of the chaos?’
“Let… let go!”
“Is anyone there? Help… save me…”
Luwei even cried out for help, but wrapped in the quilt with Floxi, her voice was muffled and couldn’t carry far.
Finally, after what could have been minutes or just seconds, as if in response to the cry for help in Luwei’s heart…
Bang!
The bedroom door was suddenly kicked open.
Then, Luwei heard a voice that made her feel incredibly relieved.
“Ow—Master, I’m here!”
It was—Shuangna!
Whoosh!
A second later, the quilt was violently pulled back—
“What happened? Master, are you—”
Regaining her sight, the first thing Luwei saw was the blank expression on Shuangna’s face.
“Master…?”
Shuangna stared dazeedly at the two on the floor, looking utterly bewildered.
She had just felt a vibration accompanied by Mana fluctuations that seemed like a monster’s.
Many guards of the Caris Family had been alerted, but the Mana fluctuations only lasted for a moment, making it impossible to pin down the location.
But only Shuangna had felt the plea for help through the Slave Mark!
Upon her dusty arrival, she was met with this scene…
A blonde girl with nothing on, her eyes dazed and tear streaks still wet on her face.
And her own master—gazing at her like a startled little animal, looking for help.
Her small mouth hung open as if she were too embarrassed to actually say the words…
Most importantly… the two in front of her were stacked on top of each other in a very intimate posture!
It took Shuangna a long time to recover from the impact of this visual.
“What… what are you doing?”
Blonde and silver hair were intertwined, and their slightly flushed skin was fully visible as they pressed against each other…
The air was thick with a romantic atmosphere.
Shuangna’s nostrils flared slightly, and she realized she could no longer distinguish her master’s scent.
Their scents had merged into one, inseparable from the other.
