Nobody knows how to be a villain better than me.

The deeper one goes, the darker and more profound the void in the center of the spiral staircase becomes, like an abyss opened by a colossal beast.

Finally, after a full half hour, Samael, led by the candy vines, arrived at the end of the spiral staircase.

The flat, extended passageway was cut off, and beneath one's feet lay an abyss with no visible boundaries.

"Look, this is it!"

The candy vines pointed downwards, and Samael's heart pounded. He subconsciously stood on the edge and looked down.

As far as the eye could see, scattered lights flickered in the darkness, and a jumble of messages emanated from within, as if thousands of individuals were slumbering inside.

Could this really be the place?

Wait, that looks like...

"boom!"

Just as Samael's eyes began to crack open in a cross pattern, preparing to see what was going on, a force suddenly came from behind, shoving him directly into the dark abyss.

At the same time, the candy vines swiftly retreated from the edge of the spiral staircase to a platform and pressed a button.

A green, grid-like photonic crystal wall descends from above, completely isolating the inside from the outside.

At that moment, the seemingly harmless little thing in front of the switch took a deep breath and shouted with malice.

"Hua Hua, dinner's ready."

"Ouch——!"

A childish cheer came from the dark abyss, tinged with excitement.

"Wow..."

The mountain of deformed fragments and devourer limbs were lifted high by a pair of giant hands and rained down.

Clearly, this is the origin of those signal sources.

Immediately afterwards, in the dim light of the photon crystal wall, a giant girl nearly a hundred meters tall, her whole body wrapped in bandages, her skin covered with green patches, and her face full of joy, pounced like a large dog running wild, accompanied by the tremors of the earth.

Dark shadows swept in from all sides.

Amidst the deafening roar, only one word remained in Samael's mind that best described his feelings at that moment.

Hey!

Chapter Thirty-Four: NTR is a Pursuit

"Click..."

With a crisp sound, a small hand pulled up the curtains and opened the window, letting a cool evening breeze flow into the room.

The slender figure sat up from the head of the bed, yawning, and looked out the window at the setting sun.

"How long have I slept?"

"Not much, just half an hour."

Candy Vine answered with a smile, then poured a glass of warm water and handed it to Lilith, who was lying on the bed.

Lilith took the water glass, took a small sip, and casually asked, "How was it? Is the check-up over?"

Candy Vine nodded, picked up the medical record book on the table, and handed it to Dissolving Lilith: "Hmm, you are in good health, and your new legs fit you very well, but it will take some time to adapt."

Upon hearing the medical AI's response, Lilith breathed a sigh of relief, then turned over and sat on the edge of the bed, moving her legs and slowly getting used to the completely different feel and experience under her feet.

After a moment, Lilith looked at the school building outside the door and couldn't help but ask.

"By the way, where is he?"

"I don't know. It might still be wandering around nearby, or it might have already left. I just heard the guards report that something seemed to have slipped out of the barrier."

The candy vine blinked and spoke casually.

"what?"

Lilith instantly stood up from the bed, looking completely bewildered.

"He's not one of us, just a prisoner you captured who slipped away while we weren't around. What's so strange about that?"

The candy vine answered matter-of-factly, casually tidying up the clutter on the table.

Dissolve Lilith was stunned for a moment, then reacted, grabbed the candy vine's wrist, somewhat exasperated.

"Then why didn't you stop him?"

"What does it have to do with me if he wants to leave?"

The candy vine spread its hands, looking quite innocent.

"It's so dangerous outside!"

"Don't worry, the area was just cleared out, it's still very safe."

"It's a promise, I'll help him find a way out."

"Maybe he couldn't wait any longer..."

"No, I'm going to find him!"

Lilith quickly rolled out of bed, her eyes showing stubbornness.

"Which direction?"

"What's wrong with you, Lilith? He's not like us, why are you so concerned?"

"Stop talking nonsense! Which direction are you going!"

As Lilith spoke more and more urgently, she grabbed the collar of the candy vine and pressed him for answers aggressively.

The little girl, who was pulled and stumbled, had a fleeting, almost imperceptible gloom in her eyes.

In just a few hours, Lilith has changed so much.

That kind of guy absolutely cannot be allowed to live!

It was indeed the right decision to lure him into the Fallen Heaven's Cage and get rid of him.

"Where did you go? Tell me now!"

As its body was shaken repeatedly, the candy vines snapped back to reality and quickly raised their hands in surrender.

"Perhaps he went to find his companions; after all, they were together."

"..."

Lilith's hand froze, and she fell silent, her cherry lips pressed tightly together, her expression shifting between light and shadow.

"Beep! Beep beep!"

Just as the atmosphere in the infirmary was becoming tense, a few short electronic beeps broke the silence.

"An outsider is coming!"

The candy vines' expression turned serious. They quickly broke free from Lilith's grasp and activated the glowing screen that connected to the surrounding Sakura Guardians.

Suddenly, two slender figures appeared before the two of them.

His gaze inadvertently swept across the screen, instantly brightening Lilith's somewhat gloomy face.

"It's them!"

Upon hearing this, the candy vine next to him stiffened.

Could it be such a coincidence?

At this moment, at the end of the maze passage, Hinako Akuta kicked aside the pink modules scattered on the ground and rummaged through several wrecked Sakura-type guard robots.

"So? Did you find anything, Senior Akuta?"

Mash, having finished cleaning up the other side of the battlefield, walked over carrying her cross shield and asked anxiously.

Hinako Akuta shook her head, kicked the still-functioning camera to pieces, and said somewhat dejectedly, "Tch, all that useless scrap metal..."

Mashu's gaze immediately dimmed, her small hands gripping the cross shield so tightly they turned white from the force, and after a long silence, she finally murmured something.

"Senior Jie, do you think he might..."

The girl looked at Hinako with pitiful eyes, like a puppy that had been abandoned.

"The fact that you can receive magic normally now proves that he is definitely alright."

Hinako waved her hand, making a solemn promise.

"Don't worry, that guy's life is tougher than a cockroach's."

Hearing Hinako's reasoned analysis and guarantee, Mashu finally managed a forced smile of relief on her pained little face.

After finally calming Mashu down, Hinako Akuta breathed a sigh of relief, inwardly cursing the guy to no end.

Even though he was a boss with top-tier combat power, he insidiously pretended to be weak and frail and got captured. In the end, it was the two of them who did all the hard work and toil. When they meet again, they will definitely kick that guy twice!

"Senior Jie, are you... are you alright?"

Just as Hinako Akuta stood there silently grumbling to herself, a timid question rang in her ears.

Mashu, watching Hinako Akuta's expressions shift from anger to sneer, swallowed hard. She carefully backed away, raising her cross shield with both hands and tucking half her body behind it, as if preparing for something.

When Hinako Akuta came to her senses and saw this, she couldn't help but cough.

"Ahem, it's nothing, I just suddenly remembered something interesting."

"Uh-huh……"

Mashu nodded, but then shrank back behind the shield.

"I told you I'm fine! Put the shield down!"

Frustrated, Hinako went into a frenzy.

"Why are you hiding? I'm not a landmine that will explode if you touch me!"

"Oh……"

Mashu obediently lowered the cross shield in front of her, her tone timid and submissive, but she showed no intention of moving forward.

There was no way around it; this senior, Mustard, had left too deep an impression on her.

The process of searching for the predecessors was not smooth.

During this time, not only will you encounter various maze monsters blocking your way, but you will also encounter [Guardians] similar to those that dissolved Lilith in the first battle.

They had encountered two before.

One is called "Passionate Lips," and the other is called "Violet," both of which are monsters possessing triple divinity.

Faced with such a formidable opponent, Mash, who was locked in a fierce battle, thought she was going to be defeated.

In the critical moment, Hinako Akuta revealed her trump card.

Who would have thought that a perfectly healthy person could suddenly turn into a powerful bomb and explode right in your face during a fight?

Moreover, the attack range does not distinguish between friend and foe...

In that earth-shattering nuclear explosion, Violet and Passion Lips were blasted away, and large sections of the maze collapsed.

Mashu was also pulled out of the encirclement by Hinako Akuta, whose body had been reassembled.

Afterwards, facing the pursuit of the two [Guardians], Hinako Akuta used the same method to self-destruct several times.

Having witnessed another side of this senior, Mashu was also forced to develop psychological trauma, indirectly training her to have an instinctive reaction to explosions and nuclear attacks.

It's all that guy's fault!

Seeing her quiet and aloof image completely crumble in front of her juniors, Hinako gritted her teeth in frustration, secretly hating the culprit.

"Fuuuuu!"

Just as Hinako was mentally condemning someone, excited shouts came from ahead.

Mashu, regaining her senses, quickly put away her shield, picked up Fou who had run over, and her face was full of joy.

"Senior Akuta, Fufu says she can smell your scent, it's up ahead!"

Ever since their senior was captured, they have been relying on Fufu's sense of smell to track down the trail and make their way here.

"Okay, let's go!"
