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

Lornes puffed out her chest proudly, almost smiling.

However, what's meant to be...

Is it inevitable that it will come eventually?

Just as Lornie led everyone around a corner...

A pitch-black monster, covered in countless long, tentacle-like appendages, came galloping menacingly from afar...

Chapter 45 The Foolish Hero

(Why is it a tentacle monster?!?)

Seeing that monster, Lonnie's legs instinctively went cold.

She instinctively wanted to run away, but the young ladies were all watching from behind... If she ran away, where would she put her face?

So even if she had to bite the bullet, Lonnies had no choice but to go.

"You wretched monster, do not stand in our way!"

"The Hero Prince is so handsome!"

"Go! Go!"

Everyone was encouraging themselves, and what about Lonnie? She rushed forward, trying to scare the tentacle monster with her Crystal Frost Dagger and make it run away!

However, the result was...

……

"Your Highness's ankle has been grabbed?"

"Should we...go up and help?"

……

(Huh?)

Feeling that slippery sensation, Lonnie even contemplated suicide.

As expected, this thing is my nemesis? No matter how powerful I am, I can't hold out for long against the tentacle monster.

Those disgusting tentacles not only snaked up his ankles, but also stretched and contracted, trying to pull him back into his nest.

Now, Lonnie was so terrified she could barely contain herself. She flailed her arms, trying to cut off the disgusting things.

But only a second later, even his wrists were entangled by tentacles!

……

"!"

"Your Highness Lonnies?"

"Ooh!"

……

Our poor Lornish didn't even have a chance to resist before she was "captured" by the tentacle monster and dragged into the darkness.

……

……

(This is absolutely humiliating! So incredibly humiliating!!!!)

Feeling the sensation of being completely enveloped, Lonnie was so ashamed she wanted to die.

What's going on? Why can't I ever show off for more than 5 minutes?

And everyone saw it, which not only means that he will be ruined, but also that he will be helpless and be bullied by the tentacles until he faints?

If I wait a while and everyone catches up to me, they will find me battered and bruised, disheveled, and panting heavily. My reputation will be completely ruined!

(Waaah, that wretched tentacle monster. It's so bullying, even worse than Elcia!)

But struggling was useless; the tentacle monster was incredibly fast, and her companions couldn't help her in time... Before long, Lonnies was taken to the tentacle monster's lair.

This is a room the size of a basketball court, with the surrounding rock walls looking as if they have been eroded, pitted and uneven, revealing many grooves.

Many tentacles are attached to the rock wall, waving their tentacles "tauntingly".

Seeing this scene, Lonnie was terrified.

There are at least a hundred of these tentacle monsters! If they all attack at once, no matter how many weaknesses I have, it won't be enough to withstand their attacks.

They might not even have a chance to breathe.

I will go completely insane, again and again, in the hell of despair.

Lonnies was almost ready to kneel down and beg for mercy when, at that moment, a rather large-looking tentacle monster crawled out from inside.

It looked like the leader of this group of tentacle monsters, with the other tentacle monsters making way for it; its tentacles were as thick as a normal person's calf.

This terrifying size is completely beyond human capability to contend with. Let alone fighting it for minutes, it would be utterly destroyed and reduced to a pile of rotten flesh in just a few seconds.

(No, no! I don't want this to happen!!!!)

……

Lonnie retreated in terror, her back soaked with cold sweat.

However, she didn't expect...

Just as I was about to faint from fright, a voice suddenly came from behind me:

……

"Your Highness, the Hero, please... save our village."

"Aha?"

……

At first, Lonnie thought she was hallucinating.

It was because he was so terrified that he remembered his past as a hero.

but……

The voice was indeed there, and it came from the giant tentacle monster: "Since several weeks ago, there have been strange movements coming from the ancient tomb. The dark power that has emerged has affected many of our companions, causing them to lose their minds."

"You...you're talking to me?"

"Of course, you are not only a legendary hero, but also a good friend of us tentacle monsters, right? I can feel a very friendly feeling about you."

"Whoa?!"

……

Although the tentacle monster "village chief's" words sounded friendly, Lonnie couldn't help but feel something was off.

What do you mean by "tentacle monster's best friend"? I'm not a magical girl!

But regardless, being spared from being bullied was a relief for Lonnie, and she regained some of her courage.

"You mean... a mausoleum? Who is buried here?"

"Yes, according to our records. That was the residence of a prince named Semantis and his princess sister Isabelle a thousand years ago."

"Oh... (I've never heard of that.)"

“Since recently, an ominous aura has been emanating from the tomb. Our tentacled investigators have all been affected. We have no choice but to abandon our settlement nearby and evacuate to this last refuge.”

Do tentacles even have settlements?

However, Lonnie instinctively felt that the tentacle-like village chief was not deceiving her.

"Then...what do you want me to do?"

"We'll do whatever it takes, we just hope that His Highness the Hero can calm this situation down."

"I see."

Lonnie nodded; in fact, that was exactly why she had come. So whether she accepted the tentacle monster's request or not, her purpose was essentially the same.

But she never expected...

After seeing themselves nod, the tentacle monsters actually returned to the rock wall and picked out a lamp.

"Your Highness, if you enter the tomb, you will surely be attacked by the Dark Light Paradoxists. This chandelier can help you avoid the danger of being attacked by the Dark Light Guardians."

"what?"

"This lamp works in the opposite way to ordinary lamps. When it is lit, it emits black light, which casts shadows wherever it shines. And the weakness of the Dark Guardian will be exposed as a result."

"I see... Thank you."

Lonnie took the chandelier, and the more she looked at it, the more she realized it was no ordinary object. Its surface was spotless, and it even emitted a strange, shimmering glow.

The massive tentacle monster shook its head and said, seemingly very politely:

“Your Highness, there is no need to thank me. You are saving our home. We are poor and do not know how we can repay you after this is done.”

"what?"

"However, although we Tentacle Monsters may not have much wealth, we are all incredibly strong and energetic. If you would like a full-body massage, I can call everyone to make sure you are satisfied."

"No, we don't want that kind of thing!!!!"

Lornes blushed and quickly shook her head.

Chapter 46 The Little Fox Pounces

When Cecily saw Lonnies being taken away by the tentacle monster, her heart was in her throat.

because……

She also knew that although Lonnie, the hero, was really powerful, she also had some strange hobbies in certain special aspects.
