I became a vampire princess and then a dragon girl?

"Ah."

After nodding slightly to indicate that she understood, Eve stopped talking and began to make plans for the future, because the feeling of having her magic power absorbed was somewhat familiar to her.

Well, it seems like she had her magic power sucked away like this once before.

If she was just suspicious before, now she is 80% sure. She didn't say it completely just because she was afraid it was a coincidence. She will call the person back to confirm it later and it will be confirmed.

Ah, this is so embarrassing. How should I explain it when people ask me about it later?

She raised her hand and gently pinched her eyebrows. Even though she was full of sorrow, Eve had to pretend to be calm and continued walking in the forest.

§136 Shocking Change

"We're here. This is the area we're currently restoring."

After walking through the woods for a while, as the surrounding trees became shorter and shorter, the group left the artificial forest area and saw the true appearance of the dark scorched earth.

Unlike the scenes of ordinary forest fires, this area was too clean. Not only was there no trace of any trees or plants, but even some exposed rocks appeared in a strange gray state, as if they would turn to ashes with the slightest external force.

"The soil here has lost its vitality. We need to bring in soil from outside to keep the plants alive. Otherwise, it wouldn't take so much time."

As she spoke, the elf girl bent down and casually grabbed a handful of dust, then scattered it into the wind. It turned into a large cloud of dust, and there were no larger particles in it at all.

Moreover, the size of these ash particles is much smaller than normal sand, and they float in the air for a long time without any sign of falling.

"Everything in here is basically like this. If you squeeze it, it will turn into ash. But if you don't actively destroy it, it won't change. It's quite strange."

After hearing this, Eve decided to go in and confirm some situations.

"Will there be any problems if we go deeper?"

"Eh? No, there's no problem except that you can't use magic or mana. Would you like to go in and take a look?"

"Well, I have some ideas I want to try. Tina, you guys stay outside."

After saying that, Eve walked into the area ahead.

However, her first action after entering was as if she had not heard the elf girl's instructions. She raised her hand and began to release magic.

Snapped--

Accompanied by a crisp snap of fingers, a magic circle appeared in the air, which made the native elf quite surprised and puzzled.

"Eh?! Why can you cast magic?!"

"It's just that my magic supply speed is faster than the speed of absorbing magic here. Don't mind it."

After explaining it casually, Eve then began to feel the magic being absorbed.

Hmm, it looks familiar indeed.

It’s the same feeling as when I first saw Dier.

Ah, it turns out this is very likely the place where Dier was born, and it is also the only place that was burned down by her.

Okay, this time we can’t let Dier continue sleeping in the demiplane. Let’s call her out to see if she has any ideas about the situation here.

'Die'er, wake up.'

"Hmm...Hmm...My Lord? Have you left the North?"

Listening to Dier's confused voice, Eve shook her head helplessly and continued.

"Not yet, but I seem to have accidentally found the place where you were born. There is still some of your power left here. Can you come out and take a look? Some elves are working hard to restore this place."

"Eh?! Wait! Don't, don't grab it! Ah!"

After a brief noise, a much calmer voice continued.

"Master, please wait a moment. I will come out and deal with it immediately."

After saying that, Dier hung up the phone.

Um, at the end, it seemed like Dier had changed her individual consciousness and was talking to me, or maybe she grabbed the microphone?

Does this count as her arguing with herself?

After they entered the territory of the sea elves and continued to head north for a while, as the temperature outside dropped, Dier said that she felt a little uncomfortable staying outside, so she retreated into the demiplane and told Eve to call her out after they left the north.

So she lay in the demiplane for several months, only coming out occasionally to absorb Eve's magic to replenish herself.

"My lord, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

As he spoke, several Burial World Butterflies flew out from the demiplane. Some of them came over and rubbed Eve's cheek affectionately, leaving some traces of black scales on her fair face, and then landed on her shoulders.

"It's okay, Die'er, just check if I'm in the wrong place."

'Oh, no thanks, it's right here.'

Without a careful examination, Dier knew that Eve's judgment was correct just by feeling the familiar feeling around her.

This is indeed the place where she was born, and it is also the only place in the world that was burned down by her.

It was once a wonderland, the place where the source of life lies.

"Can Dier solve the magic-forbidden nature of this place? Some elves have been working hard to restore it to its original state."

"Well, although I can't restore the wonderland to its former state, I can still make it normal."

Without any hesitation, Dier gave Eve an affirmative answer.

After all, the reason why this place was like this was entirely because she had just been born, and she was not careful enough when absorbing the magic power, releasing a lot of the power she had absorbed from the magic power.

Although she stopped the action immediately after regaining her sanity, she was still unable to recover the leaked power.

And because these forces have the characteristics of absorbing magic power, they will not disappear on their own over time. As a result, this magic-forbidden zone was created by accident.

The reason why this place would not expand was because the total amount of power she released at that time was limited, and it had already balanced the income and expenditure of the magic power in the space, so naturally it would not expand further.

'Can I help you with anything?'

"Master, please release some magic or a spell to draw out all those powers."

'it is good. '

As she spoke, a fireball appeared above Eve's head. To be more precise, it was a Hellfire Star. After all, this magic was the one she was most comfortable using.

The next moment, countless butterflies emerged from the demiplane, formed a huge butterfly ball around the Hell Flame Star, and began to absorb the power that would devour magic power.

At first, Dier's absorption went very smoothly, but this peace did not last long as it was interrupted by a sudden accident.

boom! boom! boom!

Along with a dull sound, the ground beneath everyone's feet suddenly began to tremble, as if some sleeping being had awakened.

"Tina, take everyone back a bit, it looks like something unexpected happened!"

"it is good!"

After saying that, Istina didn't bother to explain to the elf girl and simply picked her and Melchis up in one hand each and flew away in the direction where everyone came from.

Although the opponent's true face has not been seen yet, judging from the noise it made when it appeared, it should not be too weak, so it is better to evacuate those who have no combat ability first, so as to prevent Eve from being restricted in the battle later.

"What's wrong!"

"What happened?"

At this time, other people in the village were also alarmed by the unusual movement and left their homes one after another. After seeing the three people rushing over, they hurriedly asked questions.

"us…"

Istina was about to explain, but she found that everyone's eyes were no longer on her, but were staring blankly in the direction they came from.

At some point, a terrifying black-gray giant appeared on the ground not far away...

§137 Containment Completed

"Something seems a little off right now."

After watching Istina and the others evacuate, Eve asked Dier in her heart with some helplessness.

At this time, the ground under Eve's feet had turned into something like quicksand, making it impossible to stand on it, so she used flying magic to fly into the air. After the change occurred, the speed of absorbing magic power here also decreased a lot for some reason.

And then Eve learned the reason from Dier.

"My Lord! That power seems to have developed some self-awareness and is resisting being absorbed by me."

Ah this...

I originally thought that Dier's action would make it easy, but it turned out that some things went wrong.

"So what should we do? Should we destroy it or should we forcefully absorb it?"

"Um...I'm sorry to bother you, Master."

After a brief silence, Dier answered somewhat embarrassedly.

"Perhaps it's because it's been so long, these powers have become too complex, and even if they were taken back, they would be useless."

After all, Dier released this power at the end of the mythological era, and even the demon god had not yet descended. The time that has passed since then is extremely long. In addition, she has been sealed for a long time. So it is normal for some accidents to occur after such a long time?

"Is it going to do you any harm?"

Although she had decided to eliminate the other party, Eve still asked a question with some concern.

"Don't worry, Master. Everything will be fine. This power is only as strong as the one I once released."

'That's good. ’

While the two were discussing, the vibrations gradually stopped, and a huge black and gray giant appeared on the ground.

The originally charred ground has now turned into the body of a giant, revealing the normal rock layer deep below.

"[Hellfire Star]"

Based on the principle of exploring the way with Yuyan Yanxing if you don't know what to do, several black fireballs flew out from in front of Eve and directly shot into the giant's huge body. Then, accompanied by a huge explosion, large parts of the giant's black and gray body were scattered in the air.

"Some of it was absorbed..."

However, Eve was not particularly satisfied with the result. After all, the magic she had just blasted out was much more powerful.

Although it is not as effective as Dier's absorption, it seems that this thing can still weaken the power of magic.

"Ilvia."

Eve clenched her right hand, and a silver holy sword appeared in her hand. Then a sword energy shot up into the sky, once again cutting the giant's body that was recovering.

"Tsk, physical attacks are completely ineffective."

With a dissatisfied click of the tongue, Eve shook her head helplessly as she watched the giant's body recovering as if nothing had happened.

So how to deal with this thing? Magic has no effect on it, it just blows up its black and gray body, and physical attacks can only destroy the opponent's black and gray shell.

The essence of this thing is that the power released by Dier was mixed with a lot of impurities. Simply put, it is an invisible force similar to magic. Attacking the black and gray human figure in front of it has no substantial effect on it at all. After all, these black and gray only give it a visible appearance.

But the good news is that this thing has absolutely no intelligence, and even its instincts are so weak that it still hasn't figured out what attacked it.

If Dier hadn't taken back her power, which would have made it impossible for it to continue to exist, this thing probably wouldn't have moved at all.

"Die'er, is there any good way to deal with this thing?"

Seeing that the black-gray figure finally discovered her existence after hesitating for a long time and was about to gather towards her, Eve threw another Hellfire Star at the black-gray figure to divert its attention, and then asked in her heart.

"Others might be helpless, but my Lord, we can destroy it with just the power of destruction."

"Destructive magic..."

Eve couldn't help but twitch her eyes when she heard the solution given by Dier. After all, Death Nova and Black Prison Cannon couldn't be used now.

She was here to clean up the mess, not leave a bigger mess behind.

"Is there no other solution? For example, does it have a core or something? Using destructive magic is a bit excessive in terms of destructive power."

While asking, Eve released several Hellfire Stars into a ball, leading the black dust to fly high into the sky to avoid causing too much impact on the surroundings.

After a few attempts, she noticed that this thing seemed to be chasing magic power. It would go to where there was more magic power. So, she could make a ball of high-energy magic power and carry this thing around.
