They're not even human anymore; those wicked women can cry even more miserably.

Even now, let alone the accidental touch just now, she can smell Xia's scent when he speaks to her from a distance.

I had a strange feeling in my heart.

Such a strong reaction is related to the fog itself, but also to Sistine.

A normal person probably wouldn't be affected by inhaling such a small amount.

But Sistine couldn't; her constitution was somewhat unusual.

At that moment, it felt as if a million ants were crawling inside my heart.

I feel very uncomfortable and unwell.

But Sistine didn't tell Char honestly; instead, she quietly avoided his gaze.

She controlled her unusual physical sensations very well and concealed them effectively.

"I am fine."

Char received a good answer and didn't take the previous minor friction to heart.

After all, while that thing is very powerful to the opposite sex, if it's only in small quantities, the impact isn't significant.

The reason why this mist has such a strong effect lies in the relic held by the Goblin Emperor.

That sacred relic was used to stimulate emotions.

It's a powerful weapon specifically designed to subvert and attack women.

Otherwise, given the normal growth rate of goblins, they couldn't have expanded so quickly.

In just six months, it caused an unprecedented disaster.

Although Char said that as long as the academy's rescue is completed, it will be considered a success, if there is an opportunity now, he would rather achieve it in one step!

If problems are left unresolved, this crisis will still erupt even if it's not six months later.

But if we nip the crisis in the bud now—

Char set his gaze on the ring panel in front of him.

At this point, the Dreamer's progress had reached 90%, and the speed was getting faster and faster!

If it can be done...

Xia hesitated for a moment, then smelled a faint fragrance wafting into his nostrils.

now.

Sistine walked up to Char, wanting to strike up a conversation with him.

But when she actually stood in front of Char and looked into his eyes, Sistine hesitated to speak.

There are some things I'm too embarrassed to ask, and I don't dare let anyone know.

She wanted to ask about the events of the previous night, but she couldn't bring herself to say it.

My mind is in constant tug-of-war and hesitation.

Char looked at Sistine and smiled gently.

"Senior, you're not scary at all!"

His voice was not loud, rather soft, but the meaning behind it was incredibly heavy.

Char was well aware of what she was worried about.

It wasn't an accidental encounter last night, but something he saw by chance.

Despite being admired by others, Sistine always felt inferior.

The source of inferiority complex is the eyes.

So she covered her eyes, not wanting anyone to see her.

But Char saw it last night.

Hearing Char's words, Sistine blushed.

She hadn't even said what it was about, but her junior already knew.

And she said such reassuring and endearing things.

Sistine lowered her eyes slightly, feeling the increasingly erratic rhythm of her heartbeat.

But the hand that gripped the sword became increasingly steady.

Just as they were heading deeper into the cave, new developments were also occurring within the Seven Shields Academy.

Before setting off, Char had already prepared a backup plan just in case.

"If I didn't contact you in time, it means something big has happened. It's very likely a goblin uprising!"

This was Char's parting advice to Ella.

Although she agreed at the time, she was more skeptical than anything else.

Although she missed the little devil, she didn't think such a simple group task would go wrong.

But by then, the appointed time had arrived, and Char's text message had still not arrived.

Since it concerned Char's safety, Ella immediately notified the headmaster!

For other matters, it is natural to verify and plan before taking action.

But having connections makes all the difference.

Although there are many suspicious points in this matter, we cannot be careless.

Just because of the possibility of encountering danger, the highest commander (headmaster) of the Seven Shields Academy immediately conscripted the upperclassmen and set off to subdue them.

Objective: Dark Forest!

Inside the Goblin Dungeon.

Char led the way, guiding everyone deeper into the area, while Oboro, in a concealed form, continuously probed the situation at the forefront.

Just as Char predicted, as the group ventured deeper into the dungeon, the number of goblins along the way noticeably decreased.

To this day, he is still using volatile organic compounds to treat various ailments.

Everyone looked at Xia with increasing admiration.

As expected of the chief, he is incredibly insightful!

Violet looked radiant, withdrawing her gaze from Xia, her fighting spirit soaring even higher.

"Decapitation strike plan, charge!"

Violet lowered her voice slightly, but her confidence was still evident.

"Goo!"

The next second, Violet covered her head, her eyes glistening with tears, and looked at Char with a pout, feeling a little wronged.

Why did you hit her on the head again?

Char remained unmoved by her gaze.

"The worst thing about people is arrogance. Don't really think you're the main character, you idiot!"

Xia looked at the quiet underground palace, feeling a little uneasy.

He knew the emperor's cunning nature well, and that relying on just a few of them, especially on the other side's territory, was not the best course of action.

The safest way is to stall for time and then meet up with the people from the academy.

However, the current situation is that there may not be enough time.

Violet was a little resentful. Why did he have to hit her on the head when he was just talking?

By this time, the group had gone quite deep into the area.

The road became wider and more spacious as we walked.

After turning a corner, a simple palace came into view.

Although the palace had some decorations, they were not luxurious enough and appeared quite shabby.

On the stone throne in the center of the palace sat a peculiar goblin holding a scepter and wearing a crown.

It is clearly the leader of the goblin army, the Goblin Emperor.

Char, hidden in the shadows, stretched out a hand to stop the group's advance.

He is waiting.

It all came too easily.

From the moment they decided to venture deeper into the underground palace, they were safe the entire way, except for encountering two patrol teams.

At this moment, it seemed that as long as the Goblin Emperor in front of them was killed, they would be safe.

But such smooth sailing seems highly unusual!
