After being reborn, I was turned into a slave girl by a princess.

Before long, the shimmering liquid moistened the black earth.

But the master's task was not over yet, because Elusia came over as if to check on the situation.

"Huh? This quantity seems a bit insufficient?"

"Not enough?"

"Yes, that's too little. It's not even as much as that night when Lonnie came out because of her outburst."

"Waaaaah!!!!!"

When Elusia brought this up, Lonnies felt quite uncomfortable.

She hadn't forgotten that night when the "sweat" from her body soaked the entire bed sheet, and then she couldn't help but let out a fountain of laughter, making Elusia burst into tears.

and so……

"no, do not want!"

"Good girl~~ Silly maid, I'll be gentle this time. Just activate the little toy for 3 minutes, and that'll be enough."

"Waaaaah!!!"

Chapter 41 Underground Ruins

After completing the preparations, the team officially set off.

And Lonnie never imagined... that she would ever ride an elevator again in her life!

From 0 to B99, the metal elevator car was filled with hundreds of buttons, and Dr. Okali pressed the bottom one without hesitation.

"Clang, clang!"

The elevator descended at a very uneven speed, sometimes fast and sometimes slow.

Sometimes it would sway from side to side, making Lonnie wonder if one of the cables would suddenly break.

"Hmph, you call yourself brave? Now you're scared."

"I...I'm not scared at all!"

The silver-haired girl mustered her courage and forcefully defended herself.

It's impossible not to be afraid, because as the elevator descended, Lonnie could feel the oppressive atmosphere in the air intensifying.

but……

Because Elusia and Izumi were with her, Lonese wasn't so scared.

Anyway, this cunning girl probably already has some plan in mind, right?

Moreover, having been bullied so much and sweating so much, even the terrifying demons shouldn't be a match for him now.

……

……

Ding Dong,

With a strange sound, the elevator stopped at the deepest floor.

The elevator doors opened, and a dark world came into view.

"here it is……"

"Hmm, it seems to be a nuclear war shelter from the last era?"

"what?"

"I'm also researching some unknown experimental plans. If I use those ancient tools, maybe I can discover some unknown secrets?"

Elusia took the first step and entered the dark underground corridor.

A cool breeze swept over her, and in a corner of the wall, Lonnies even spotted a symbol for nuclear radiation... The girl was about to lean in for a closer look, but Yicheng stopped her.

"Lonnies, don't move, there's a trap up there."

"trap?"

"Hmm, it seems to be some kind of alarm system... There are many similar traps."

Even without removing the blindfold, Yicheng's senses still penetrated the darkness, allowing her to see many unknown things.

"Are there any 7th-tier alien lords, or even 8th-tier demon kings?"

"Ilucia asked."

"No, all I can sense are ordinary demon puppets, with combat abilities of only around level 4 or 5."

"Oh, so they're all lackeys?"

"No, at the deepest point, there seems to be a strange energy flowing. That power is very special and should not be underestimated."

"Then, let's proceed silently before reaching the deepest point. Yicheng, may I entrust the reconnaissance work to you?"

"no problem."

And so, the group began their journey through the underground world.

And taking advantage of this opportunity, Lonnies finally saw the demons for the first time with her own eyes.

Just like what he faced in the Land of the End, the creatures guarding this underground research institute were a type of demon called the Activated Armor.

Their intelligence is low among demons, roughly equivalent to that of cats and dogs. However, their combat abilities are enough to inspire fear in ordinary people.

The active armor is actually a rotting creature resembling minced meat, which lives inside the armor, making it look like a medieval soldier in full plate armor from a distance.

However, if you treat it with the same tactics you use against humans, you will suffer a crushing defeat.

Its joints are exceptionally flexible and can attack from all sorts of inhuman angles—while at the same time, its body is remarkably resistant to physical attacks.

Even after their heads are severed, the activated armor can still move freely. After defeating a beautiful girl, they might even attach themselves to her body, using her as nourishment to imprison her within the armor.

That feeling was exactly like wearing a "tentacle suit." So this time, Lonnie was careful and didn't try to be brave.

And what about Elusia?

They still didn't take these living armors seriously.

The black-haired girl first used her power to release a plume of black smoke to block the transmission of sound and magic. Then, she slammed the Crimson Lotus Hammer heavily into the activated armor.

……

"Demon canned food, smash it to pieces!"

……

One by one, the living armors that were originally invincible were "forcibly assassinated" by Elcia.

Lonnie was already used to it, but Dr. Okali, who was accompanying her, looked quite surprised.

"This...how is this possible? This power..."

"Hmph, it's the power from the Flame Abyss. Otherwise, how do you think you recovered?"

"Uh!"

The doctor gasped, but still seemed incredulous:

"I never imagined that Yan Yuan's power would see the light of day again... But what's with that pitch-black smoke? Why can you use the power of the Otherworldly... Could it be that you are a demon?"

"Hehe, this is a secret."

"secret……"

"Well... so... could you please keep this a secret, Dr. Okali? If you can't keep it a secret, I'll just take care of you right here!"

Elusia's words startled Dr. Okali.

However, after spending so much time with the cunning girl, Lonnie already knew she was joking: "Miss, please don't make jokes like that... it will scare the Doctor."

"Hehe, just trying to lighten the mood. After all, we're about to face some indescribable things~"

……

……

Before they knew it, the passage had come to an end.

Along the way, the group eliminated more than ten animated armors without triggering any alarms.

At this moment, although they had not yet reached the deepest part, they had arrived at a small hall...

Compared to the dim tunnel, this place was much brighter. A warm, yellowish light shone down from the ceiling, the source not from electric lights, but from a unique type of mushroom.

Countless branches and vines pierced through the walls and spread down from the ceiling.

The shelves that originally stood in the room were long gone, and the things stored inside had disappeared.

But what was most shocking was the thing in the center of the room.

heart.

Or, to put it another way, it is a heart made of resin.

It was translucent and constantly wriggling. Through those indescribable gelatinous substances, one could see a person in a coma imprisoned inside.

The resin heart seemed to be drawing nourishment from this person, and wisps of energy flowed along the vines and leaves surrounding the heart, seemingly traveling to some unknown place.

"It's Mark, our mentor from the research institute!"

Dr. Okali seemed to recognize the prisoners and, upon seeing this, tried to run forward and smash their hearts.

Yi Cheng, however, immediately grabbed her.

"Dr. Okali, don't be impulsive! We can't alert them yet."

"what?"

“There is an alarm device on this cage. If it is triggered, our previous infiltration operation will be in vain.”

"Then... what should we do?"
