Chapter 99: My Lord Hero, I Like You (Die you milotherfuckrr)
“Ahhh!!”
A heart-wrenching scream suddenly echoed.
With Holy Armor on, the sword unsheathed, Battle Qi bubbling, and Mana surging, Alicia instantly entered a fully armed state.
Holding the sharp sword, she quickly looked around and realized that she had unknowingly left the boundless darkness and returned to this quiet room.
Beneath the golden mask, Alicia’s eyes were red, breathing heavily as she felt her entire body weaken and suddenly leaned against Elrose’s bed.
It was too terrifying, simply too terrifying.
Alicia felt her entire brain shaking; she extended her hand and slowly placed it on her chest.
“Thump, thump, thump…”
The sound of her heart beating wildly.
I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m still alive.
Alicia suddenly let out a breath, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
At that moment, her heart was filled with the joy of surviving a disaster, as if she had escaped from the hands of the Grim Reaper.
Alicia slowly stood up and looked again at the silver bracelet in Elrose’s hand.
What was that darkness just now?
After pondering for a moment, Alicia thought about her experience. It was highly likely that she had triggered the self-protection mechanism of this bracelet and had encountered an extremely powerful illusion attack.
Alicia’s gaze deepened; over the past days, she had come across many weapons and equipment with self-protection mechanisms.
Whether it was weapons or items, this was not a rare occurrence.
After all, not every weapon could generate its own consciousness.
Setting up a self-protection mechanism is essential for ensuring the safety of one’s weapons and equipment.
However…
Could someone really project such a realistic illusion?
That suffocating, terrifying darkness, even the full power of the Illusion Witch from back in the day could not reach such a level.
Could it be that darkness actually exists in reality?
Alicia shook her head suddenly, unwilling to believe it, not wanting to accept it.
If that darkness were real, then the ruler hidden within it would also be real, and if that were the case, it would be too terrifying.
Alicia raised her right hand and gravely looked at the Holy Dragon Contract in her hand.
Having thought so much, she still couldn’t figure out what was guiding her.
Alicia sighed softly, her gaze returning to that silver bracelet.
Damn it, do I have to touch that thing again?
Alicia swallowed hard; she truly did not want to encounter that desperate darkness a second time.
But, but…
Tia might be waiting for her right behind that darkness.
With that thought, Alicia clenched her fist and slowly extended her hand towards the Heart of Shadow.
But, just at that moment.
A small, fair hand suddenly shot up and grabbed onto Alicia’s golden armor.
Elrose squinted her eyes, groggy and half-awake, looking at the person in golden armor before her.
My Lord Hero? Elrose said somewhat dazedly.
“L-Little Shadie…” Alicia’s expression instantly froze beneath the golden mask.
“I like you.”
Alicia was taken aback: “Eh? What did you say?”
“My Lord Hero, I absolutely love you.” Elrose swayed her head, looking completely half-asleep,
“One day, I will wear a cute and charming wedding dress and marry you in the midst of flowers and cheers from the crowd.”
The sudden confession left Alicia stunned, and beneath the golden mask, her entire face turned red.
Damn it, what’s wrong with me?
Feeling her heart racing faster and faster, Alicia sensed that her mind was beginning to spiral out of control again.
Over the past few hundred years, countless men and women had confessed to Alicia in this manner, yet she had always faced it with a calm and stable attitude.
But this time was different.
Under the influence of Heart-E, Elrose’s words seemed to become Cupid’s sharp arrows, instantaneously piercing through her heart.
The affection level increased significantly.
“I-I…” Alicia’s expression gradually turned unusual, her red lips parted, about to say something.
“Knock, knock, knock.” The crisp sound of knocking immediately resounded.
Kendrick stood outside the door, gently tapping on it: “Elrose, is that you talking?”
Alicia was startled, suddenly realizing that due to the earlier illusion, she had completely forgotten to maintain the soundproof barrier she had set up.
Outside, Kendrick did not receive a response; he grasped the doorknob and prepared to push the door open, but when the lock turned halfway, it wouldn’t budge.
Elrose had locked the door before leaving.
Kendrick frowned and casually picked up the keychain hanging from his pants.
“Click!”
The sound of the key entering the lock echoed.
Alicia’s face changed dramatically; she quickly looked at the silver-haired girl clutching her arm: “Little Shadie, I’m sorry.”
“Bam!”
A hit with a rocket-headed hammer.
With a thud, Elrose collapsed back onto the bed, falling into a deep slumber once more.
Kendrick opened the door and entered. In the quiet room, Elrose lay peacefully on the bed, breathing softly.
And beside her bed, the evening breeze blew, the windows wide open, and the curtains billowed gently.
“Did I hear that wrong?”
Kendrick quietly stepped inside, glancing around to confirm that there was no one else in the room before nodding in relief. He closed the window for Elrose and quietly left.
However, he didn’t notice a stunning beauty with blue-white long hair quietly watching from the roof of the building across the Nightmoon Tavern.
“That girl must be sleepwalking.”
“If that’s the case, then everything she said must be from the heart.”
Her heart raced suddenly.
Alicia shook her head abruptly.
“Damn it, what’s wrong with me? Why do I get so flustered whenever it comes to Little Shadie?”
Could it really have such power?
“Elrose, it’s time to wake up.”
Luna stood by Elrose’s bed, gently shaking her body, but Elrose showed no sign of waking up.
Luna looked at her with affection and then leaned closer, whispering in her ear, “Little Belle, if you don’t get up soon, there won’t be any breakfast.”
“Mm~.” Elrose mumbled, lazily turning over, yet still showing no sign of waking.
Luna was slightly surprised; usually, as soon as she mentioned food, Elrose would bounce out of bed, but this time the trick didn’t seem to work.
Just as Luna was puzzled, a strange fragrance wafted past her nose.
Luna frowned and hastily leaned over Elrose to take a deep sniff.
Huh?
What is that smell? I don’t think I’ve ever smelled it before?
At that moment, a small item by the side of Elrose’s bed caught Luna’s attention.
Luna slowly picked it up, examining it closely between her fingers.
It was a strand of blue-white hair.
Luna held it up to her nose and sniffed it; the scent matched perfectly with the additional fragrance on Elrose.
“Click.”
Luna clenched her silver teeth tightly, her purple pupils seemingly ablaze with fierce flames.
Damn!
There’s a vixen!!
I’ve been robbed!!!
