I became a vampire princess and then a dragon girl?

Those beings that were originally covered in human skin have now turned into tentacles growing on the ground. Countless black muds gushed out of their mouths and condensed into tentacles with them as the center, weaving into a dense air defense network, constantly hitting the hot fireballs falling from the sky.

Due to the uneven distribution of population in towns and cities, the scenes in densely populated areas are so disgusting that people would die on the spot from claustrophobia.

But no matter how hard these tentacles tried, the rain of fire that brought destruction from the sky seemed to have no end and showed no sign of stopping.

“…add a little more intensity.”

Look at the tentacles

Snapped--

With a snap of the fingers, the hellfire covering the city suddenly seemed to boil, and the fireballs that originally won by quantity instantly expanded into the pitch-black Hellfire Star.

The next moment, countless dark suns fell one after another, turning everything below into a sea of ​​fire.

Under this attack, the abyss disguised as a city could no longer maintain its disguise. The entire city seemed to melt in a sea of ​​fire and turned into the abyss that Eve was familiar with - a dark swamp.

At the same time as the disguise disappeared, Ilvia's disgust for the abyss also surged into Eve's heart.

It seems that with the removal of the disguise, Ilvia's reaction to the power of the demon also returned to normal.

After being disarmed, the Black Hell Magic Cannon, which did not contain much destructive magic power, had only a scratching effect on the abyss and was completely unable to truly destroy it.

"Hmm... try to remove it?"

Above the city, Eve and Istina were standing side by side in mid-air, overlooking the scene below.

At this moment, Eve suddenly tried to see if the abyss could still disguise itself as the previous city after she disarmed the Black Prison Cannon, and then she waved her hand to extinguish the sea of ​​fire below.

Then, in the following time, a scene like a time-lapse photography of a building construction accelerated thousands of times played out before their eyes.

Of course, this is not time-lapse photography.

After the flames were extinguished, the black mud began to condense into the shape of buildings, and then began to change color, disguising itself again as what Eve and the others had seen in the air before.

As the abyss camouflage was completed, Ilvia's sensing ability was unsurprisingly offline again.

"Phew—testing done."

After finishing what she wanted to do, the purple-black destructive magic wrapped around Eve's fingertips.

As her fingertips passed through the air, a complex and exquisite magic circle appeared in front of her.

The next moment, everything below was completely engulfed by the endless purple-black light.

It seems that although it has an additional ability to camouflage, it can still be destroyed.

§72 Running

"Huh~ Comfortable~ Comfortable. Let's go and see if there are other cities like this."

Looking at the original city that was left with only a bottomless hole, Eve said to Istina with a relaxed look.

Although she knew that the previous city was a trap disguised as the abyss, but seeing Eve so comfortable, Istina still felt a little weird.

But then Istina shook her head, clearing away these strange thoughts in her mind, nodded and responded softly.

"Um…"

So Eve and the others relied on their familiarity with the Land of Wealth to quickly fly to the nearest big city. Along the way, they temporarily stopped the high-altitude bombing, preparing to learn from the God of Creation the reason for the change in the power of the demon god before taking any action.

As two streaks of light, one red and one purple, streaked across the sky, Eve and Istina soon arrived at their destination.

This is the city of Frendel, the largest trading center in the west of the Kingdom of Wealth. It is mainly responsible for trade with the Kingdom of Travelers and the Kingdom of the Church. In terms of city size and permanent population, it ranks third in the Kingdom of Wealth, second only to the capital of the Kingdom of Wealth and another coastal city located in the east by the sea, which is mainly responsible for trade with the Empire.

There is no way around it, because neither the Kingdom of the Holy Religion nor the Kingdom of Travelers can buy more than an empire.

After arriving in Ferndel, Eve first used her farsighted magic to observe the situation in the city from high in the sky. As expected, it was still an empty city without any life.

"As expected..."

After muttering to herself, Eve called Istina and flew straight to a place not far from the city entrance.

As the two gradually approached the city gate, when they could see the scene inside the city from afar outside the city gate, many figures appeared in the city at some point. They were all doing their usual work, as if everything was normal here, except that there were no caravans or adventurers coming in and out.

The city gate is the boundary, and everything happens within the city gate.

"Hmm...I guess we don't need to go in, right?"

Seeing that the situation here was no different from what she had guessed, Eve directly pulled Istina and stood a short distance away from the city gate.

After all, she didn't have any special hobbies, so she wouldn't be crazy enough to take the initiative to experience the feeling of being harassed by the power of the devil again.

"Forget it, let's just see if staying outside the border will cause any changes."

Eve just found a plausible reason and convinced herself that it was true, while Istina on the side looked like she wanted to complain.

"My dear hero, this is not good..."

"Well, that's fine. At worst, we'll just have to see what the Creator God says."

While waving her hand casually, Eve once again sent a communication magic to the God of Creation, telling her what happened when the town was destroyed before, and that if she walked in the front this time, she would be able to see that the city was "normal" from outside the door.

"...As expected, this is going to be a bit troublesome."

There was a long silence before the God of Creation spoke again.

But this time her voice was much deeper and she sounded a little unhappy.

"Hmm... Next I might have to ask Eve to go check another place."

"Where is it? Is it still within the territory of the Land of Wealth?"

"It's that wonderland located in the Land of Wealth. Eve, do you know its exact location?"

"I know. Leave it to me."

After all, Eve had lived in the Kingdom of Wealth for quite a while, so she was naturally clear about the location of the Golden Valley.

Although the five major families have very strict control over the place, there is no way to prevent anyone from knowing what is there.

The location of the Golden Valley is a semi-open secret among the top leaders of the Holy Kingdom, but no one can snatch it away from the five major families.

"By the way, is it okay for me to just clean these places? And why can't Viya notice anything unusual?"

"Well, just deal with it as you would the abyss. As for the reason, although it's just my speculation at the moment, we'll be able to confirm it once you, Eve, go to Wonderland and check it out."

After a slight pause, the God of Creation also expressed his guess.

"If this is the worst case scenario, I suspect that some of the power that originally belonged to me has been eroded and assimilated, which is why this happened. The reason is most likely the power I left behind in Wonderland."

"Is that so... I'll contact you later."

"Well, please."

After the communication ended, Eve and the God of Creation had very similar reactions.

"Tsk, this is a big trouble..."

The demon can disguise its power by eroding the power of the God of Creation, and even Ilvia cannot see through this disguise, which means that they may have to be wary of the poisonous blade from behind.

Shaking her head to get rid of the ominous premonition in her mind, Eve decided to focus on the current situation first.

"Well, let's go to the Golden Valley."

With the hope that this was just a guess by the God of Creation, Eve did not tell Istina about her guess about the God of Creation for the time being.

After all, there is no point in causing one more person to worry about this, so it would be better to explain after investigating the situation in the Golden Valley.

Although she was somewhat curious about what Eve and the God of Creation had just said, seeing that Eve was trying hard to hide her worry, Istina did not pursue the matter any further. She just nodded slightly, interlocked her fingers, and gently held Eve's hand and said.

"If you have anything you want to talk to someone about, you can come to me, brave man."

“…Yeah, definitely.”

Feeling the warmth coming from her palm, Eve was stunned for a moment, then returned to her normal state and held Istina's hand tightly.

Yes, although the road ahead is full of difficulties, she is not walking alone. She has friends and lovers who are worth relying on by her side.

Sometimes it's okay to take a break if you're tired.

However, she can still handle the pressure for now, so she will talk to Tina about the speculation about the creation of God after everything is confirmed.

"Let's go, let's go to the Golden Valley. Speaking of which, this is our first time there."

"Well, yes. After all, that place has always been strictly forbidden to people who are not from the five major families."

Seeing that Eve had returned to her usual self, Istina nodded slightly and answered her question.

Due to the importance of the Golden Valley, the five major families have been very strict in protecting it. Previously, even as a brave warrior, Eve did not get permission to enter it, and only obtained some of the materials produced there.

"Haha, then let's take a good look at what's so special about it."

As he spoke, a magic circle emitting light unfolded under the feet of the two people.

The next moment, the two figures disappeared in the dazzling light.

§73 Good News and Bad Premonitions

brush--

After using teleportation magic to reach the destination, Eve looked up at the tall wall in front of her.

Since Eve only knew the teleportation coordinates of the area near the Golden Valley, the two did not arrive directly inside the Golden Valley, but needed to fly a short distance. Their current location was outside the joint blockade line of the five major families.

The border that was once heavily guarded was no longer visible, and the entire fortress was shrouded in dead silence.

However, compared with the previous city, this place is not particularly well preserved, but it is quite different from the ruins after being swept by the waves of the abyss. It looks a bit like it has experienced a major earthquake, as if the entire fortress had been lifted up and shaken left and right twice.

However, considering the situation here, this earthquake is most likely not naturally caused.

Because from behind this tall fortress, a strong demonic power is constantly causing Ilvia to feel disgusted.

Well, it looks like the script is back to something familiar to Eve.

"Let's go in and have a look."

"Ah."

After exchanging a glance, the next moment the holy sword appeared in Eve's palm. Then, several sword energies were swung out, shattering the tall city wall in front of them and revealing the scene behind - a dark swamp that was no different from an ordinary abyss.

"Hmm... looks like a normal abyss, huh?"

Looking at the quagmire in front of her, Eve was obviously confused.

Judging from what happened in the town before, Eve felt that this place should be, um... more... special?

After all, this is a wonderland, even though it has now become an abyss.

But what appeared before her eyes was such an ordinary abyss, one that she had destroyed countless times.

It's as if you go to a lottery and the second prize is one million, but the first prize is a pack of tissues. It's as outrageous as that.

"Well... never mind. Let's let the God of Creation figure out what's going on."

After thinking for a while, Eve couldn't think of any reason, so she finally chose to throw the problem to the God of Creation. She would be responsible for the physical work, and leave the brainpower to others.

Thinking of this, Eve sent another communication to the God of Creation.

"We've already reached the outside of the Golden Valley. This place has become an abyss, but it looks no different from any other abyss. It's not the kind of abyss that disguises itself."

"Is that so... then the situation might be better than I thought."

After hearing what Eve said, the God of Creation was obviously relieved.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Well... Eve, just think of this as encountering a new kind of abyss monster. Their ability is to corrode and assimilate everything around them. In other words, the city you saw that looked like the abyss wasn't actually a normal abyss, but a giant, living abyss monster. Their origin is this eroded wonderland."

"So this isn't the worst-case scenario you just speculated?"

"Yes, but..."

He first affirmed what Eve said, but then the God of Creation changed the subject and continued.

"However, judging by this situation and the three missing holy weapons, I suspect the demon has already eroded my power, but it hasn't yet been revealed to us."
