I'm not just human!

Many years ago, Heather was led by her teacher to stand before this giant egg. At that time, she was an innocent doll girl, full of expectations for everything in the world. She never expected that she would now only have a soul left, living in this world as neither human nor ghost.

"Wait a minute, something's not right. How come even Heatherpuria, the Doll Queen, has had her inner thoughts recorded?"

Actually, Xia Fa had noticed this problem last time, but he was worried about Benedict's situation and didn't pay much attention to it.

Now that he knew that Benedict was not in any particular danger and only needed special training, he naturally relaxed and paid attention to this point again.

This is clearly Benedict's training notes, not Heather's. It's normal for it to record Benedict's thoughts, but why can it also record Heather's thoughts?

"Could it be... because Benedict wore that obsidian ring, which essentially created some kind of bond with Heatherpuria, so her training notes were able to record Heatherpuria's situation as well?"

Xia Fa's eyes flickered, and he nodded slightly, feeling that this was the only possibility.

Without giving it much thought, he continued reading.

With a soft sigh, Heather Perriat suppressed her complex thoughts and looked down at Benedictine, the doll girl who had once been as innocent and lively as herself.

【“Benise”】

Heather Perria spoke slowly, her voice quite solemn.

"Teacher, what's wrong?"

[Benise curiously raised her little head, looking at Heather's soul, but couldn't help looking again at the giant egg that was thousands of kilometers long and hundreds of kilometers high. Her delicate and bright little face was filled with amazement as she said:]

"What a huge egg! It's almost as big as Xia Fa's egg!"

Xia Fa: ? ? ?

He wondered if he had seen it wrong, rubbed his eyes, looked again, and found that he had indeed seen it right.

In the records of his training notes, Heather Perria was just as confused as he was.

"What...what are you saying?"

Heather asked the question with considerable surprise, and a rare blush appeared on her elegant and beautiful face, which was as ripe as a peach.

After all, Heather Perria had never contracted with any master, and had only heard about such things, but had never experienced them firsthand.

[Benise said, rather strangely:]

"What's wrong, teacher? I mean, if Xia Fa could lay eggs, they'd probably be this big, hehe."

Heather Pearl: ...

Xiafa: ...

Benedict's heavy breathing startled him.

Moreover, he always felt that Benedict's thought process was sometimes a bit abstract, and he didn't know who she learned it from.

Thinking this, Xia Fa casually took another sip of the elven spring water from the pine bathtub.

"Hmm? Why is it still salty?"

Without giving it much thought, Xia Fa continued reading.

Heather seemed stunned for a moment before shaking her head with a helpless smile.

"It's nothing, you... never mind. When your relationship with your master becomes close enough, you'll understand the ambiguity in your words. Now, let's get back to the point. What you need is to undergo special training inside this giant egg."

Heather pointed to the prehistoric dome in front of her, which was thousands of kilometers long and hundreds of kilometers high, and continued:

"This place is a small world unto itself, filled with countless powerful monsters. It's the perfect opportunity to hone your swordsmanship."

"I won't go in with you. Every time you successfully master one of the twelve Divine Swords of the End created by the God of Puppets, I will sense it and then pass it on to you for the next one."

"Remember, be extra careful once you're inside. A single misstep could mean certain death. But there's no other way; without the spherical joints of the Puppet God, you'll die anyway. So, you have no choice but to take the risk."

Having said that, without waiting for Benedict's agreement, Heatherbury casually waved her translucent, pale white hand.

"Wow!"

[Benise screamed, her tall, slender body involuntarily rising into the air, flying towards the prehistoric giant egg.]

[The eggshell rippled and then completely swallowed her.]

[Hatherpuria's translucent soul floated in the air, forcibly suppressing the worry in her beautiful eyes, and slowly disappeared completely into the air.]

This page of my experience notes ends here.

Xia Fa was quite curious about what kind of self-contained little world would be inside that giant egg, so he quickly turned to the next page.

On this page, there was only a small portion of training notes, so Xia Fa quickly continued reading.

The small world inside the giant egg is exactly the same size as the giant egg, stretching a thousand miles horizontally and a hundred miles vertically.

But this place is no longer a dense forest; it's more like... a dangerous tropical rainforest!

Various kinds of vines, with huge broad leaves hanging down, blocked almost all the view. The surrounding trees were covered with moss, and strange beetles climbed up the trees.

A light rain was falling in the rainforest, but the climate was warm and humid, like being trapped in a giant steamer, making it hard to breathe.

[Patter! 】

Beneath stepped out of thin air and landed in the rainforest, accidentally crushing the pile of dry branches and fallen leaves beneath her feet.

【roar!!!!!】

As if sensing someone entering the giant egg, a terrifying monster roar echoed from the far reaches of the rainforest, hurtling towards them.

【Awoo!】

Moo!

Woof woof woof!

[Followed by this, a series of monster cries rang out from all directions of the rainforest.]

Beneath's tall, slender body shrank slightly, her neck recoiled, and a look of fear crossed her small face.

However, only for a moment, she gritted her teeth, a resolute glint appearing in her golden-red eyes.

"No, we can't be afraid!"

"If we successfully overcome this trial, we'll truly become stronger and embark on adventures with Xia Fa!"

"I also want to become strong and protect Xia Fa. I can't always let him protect me..."

[Benise murmured, the determination in her eyes growing ever more unwavering, and suddenly clenched her fists in the air.]

A golden, radiant longsword instantly materialized.

She gripped the radiant longsword with both hands, and took a step forward, casually slicing through a large patch of bushes and broad leaves before walking towards the nearest monster.

【Awoo!】

The monster seemed to sense Benedict's arrival, and its cries became even more frequent, filled with a strong sense of threat.

[Awoo! Awoo! Awoo!]

Immediately afterwards, countless wolf howls echoed through the rainforest, responding to the monster.

That monster...it seems to be a wolf-like creature, and moreover, it has an entire pack!

Xia Fa felt inexplicably nervous upon seeing this.

After all, according to Heather Perria, Benedict could indeed face mortal danger in this tiny world of the giant egg.

An entire pack of monster wolves... Can Benedict defeat them?

He was quite worried and immediately read on.

Beneath gripped the radiant longsword with both hands, her steps becoming increasingly firm, yet her body trembled uncontrollably.

Suddenly, with a whoosh, a broad leaf was smashed open not far away, and a dark shadow suddenly attacked, crashing into Benedict.

Without hesitation, Benedict retaliated with a thrust of her sword.

[On the blade of that golden, radiant longsword, layers of circular ritual arrays instantly unfolded, shimmering with a hazy golden light; it was truly divine.]

[It is the Bloodthirsty Sword, one of the Twelve Divine Swords of the End!]

"Holy crap!"

[A mournful cry, mixed with profanities, followed as the dark figure crashed to the ground, crushing countless fallen leaves and withered branches, and began to convulse.]

Beneath breathed a sigh of relief, looked down, and tilted her head, a look of confusion on her face.

[Because, that monster... was actually a dog-man, almost like a werewolf!]

[That's right, this dog-man has white fur on its belly, while the fur on its limbs and back is pale yellow, making it look very much like a Corgi, a breed favored by human royalty. At this moment, it is opening its mouth, its scarlet tongue hanging from the corner of its mouth, and it is breathing heavily in pain.]

After a brief moment of bewilderment, Beneath resolutely raised her radiant longsword, the blade pointing downwards, ready to pierce the dog-man's chest.

"Wait...wait! Spare his life!"

The dog-man turned pale with fright, immediately raised his head, and after catching his breath a couple of times, gasped, "..."

"Miss, spare my life! I have important information to share with you!"

Hearing the dog-man's words, and realizing that the dog-man was no longer capable of resisting—after all, all the blood vessels in its body had been ruptured by blood, rendering it completely useless—[the dog-man was now powerless].

Therefore, Beneath's downward thrust with her longsword slowed, her eyes narrowed, revealing a dangerous glint, and she said coldly:

"Speak up, or I'll kill you right now, you dog!"

The dog-like man dared not delay and immediately spoke:

"You must be one of the doll-girl clan who came here for training, right? But you may not know that after several hundred years, the situation in this giant egg-shaped world is completely different!"

[Seemingly in an effort to survive, its speech quickened, and it stopped speaking in fits of breath:]

"We dog-people were originally non-human supernatural beings, but now we have developed intelligence and gathered into a race. Strictly speaking, we have entered the category of humanoid supernatural beings, just like you!"

"Furthermore, the catgirls in this giant egg-shaped world have also multiplied and grown, becoming our allies!"

"Although we dog-people and cat-girls are different species and cannot intermarry, we have built a very strong bond of trust and friendship."

"Because...we must unite...to fight the Pure Silver Giant!"

"A pure silver giant?"

Xia Fa felt a strange stirring in his heart upon seeing this.

"A pure white silver giant? What's that?"

Beneath also became curious. Although there were no dog-men in the Endless Realm, there were some little kitten girls scattered around.
