In the sealed underground, there is a sealed girl.
That girl was obviously not human - this was nonsense, how could an ordinary human survive for so long without food or water?
“Save me…”
Perhaps because she hadn't spoken for a long time, the girl's voice was intermittent, and even her tone was a little strange. Logically speaking, in RPG games, when this happens, it's either a cheat for the protagonist or a big devil waiting to be resurrected.
But Ellie doesn't care about either one. The former is naturally better, and if she dares to jump up, she will be pinned to death directly - or the latter is better, because it saves Ellie the time of looking for the boss behind the scenes.
So Ellie picked up the magic wand and gently pointed it at the girl in front of her.
Then, the cube that bound the girl's body began to tremble, and dark red magic emerged from it, as if trying to resist Ellie's actions. But in front of Ellie's magic, this resistance was almost insignificant. In the blink of an eye, accompanied by a "bang", the cube that bound the girl broke into particles and scattered, and then the blonde girl fell out of it and collapsed to the ground.
"Are you okay?"
Ellie walked to the blonde girl and looked at her curiously. In fact, she was ready for her to sneer and shout "I'm finally out!" and then slap her to death, but the blonde girl just raised her head and looked at Ellie. Although her face was expressionless, the gratitude and joy in her bright red pupils were clearly revealed.
"Thank you, thank you..."
"……You're welcome."
Well, it seems that the final boss can't be counted on.
“Crack, crack, crack!!”
At this moment, suddenly, a black shadow fell from the sky and pounced towards Ellie and the blonde girl, but Ellie didn't even look at it, she just raised her magic wand and waved it lightly, and then the black shadow was immediately knocked away by the invisible impact. Before it landed, several swords of light appeared out of thin air, directly pierced through the black shadow's body, and nailed it to the ground.
It was then that Ellie discovered that the black shadow was a giant scorpion. It should be the guardian of the seal like the Cyclops before - but after it turned into a corpse, it was nothing.
“…”
The blonde girl stared at Ellie blankly, as if she was completely shocked by this scene. Ellie just stretched out her hand to her and smiled slightly.
"Want to leave here with me?"
This is naturally a question that needs no answer.
The blonde girl had no clothes on, so Ellie took off her witch cloak and put it on her, then took her away from this strange place. Along the way, the two talked to each other. The blonde girl hadn't talked to anyone for a long time, so she stuttered at first, and even spoke incoherently, sometimes only able to say a few words. But just like rehabilitation, after practicing for a while, the blonde girl's speech gradually returned to normal, and Ellie also heard what happened from her.
In short, the blonde girl was once the king of the vampire clan, possessing a powerful atavism power, and she had always done her best for the vampire clan. But one day, her uncle and his retainers betrayed her, believing that the blonde girl's power was too dangerous and she was not suitable to be the king of the vampire clan. So he sealed her up, and the blonde girl was too shocked by the betrayal of her relatives, so she was sealed here without much resistance.
When Ellie first heard the blonde girl say this, her first reaction was that the blonde girl was the Undead King, but after repeated inquiries, Ellie denied this speculation. The reason was simple. According to the blonde girl, the vampires in this world were not quite the same as the vampires Ellie knew.
Generally speaking, vampires are a type of undead creatures, and as long as they can suck blood, they can live forever. But according to the blonde girl, the vampires in this world are not undead creatures. Although their lifespan is relatively long compared to humans, their average age is only about 200 years old. They are stronger than humans in terms of physical fitness and magic, and other than that, they are no different from ordinary creatures. As long as they are killed, they will die, and there is no such thing as an undead king - of course, the blonde girl who reverted to her ancestral roots is an exception.
The blonde girl's knowledge of this world seemed to be older than the human history of this world. As for the alliance of kings, she had never heard of it. Similarly, she knew nothing about the Undead King.
According to the blonde girl, she awakened her ancestral powers at the age of twelve and became one of the strongest vampires at the time. She then inherited the throne at the age of seventeen and has been fighting for the vampires with all her heart. However, because of her immortality, others became disloyal and spread rumors that the blonde girl was a monster, eventually sealing her here.
As for the name of the blonde girl, she seemed unwilling to mention her own name again, but hoped that Ellie would give her a new name, so Ellie gave her a new name "Yue"... Anyway, vampire and moon are quite a match.
As for the place where they are...
"This may be the Abyss Maze."
"Abyss Labyrinth??"
"Yes."
Yue nodded and explained to Ai Li softly. According to Yue, there was a legend in her time that in the distant past, seven followers of God planned to rebel against the gods and destroy the world, but in the end their plot was destroyed and they fled to the end of the world and built seven abyss labyrinths to hide.
Each abyss labyrinth has a gravekeeper, and the vampire clan seems to be the gravekeeper of this labyrinth, but Yue doesn't know the specific situation. She only read the information when she inherited the vampire throne, saying that the vampire clan has to guard the abyss labyrinth. But why do they do this, it is not written at all. But generally speaking, the existence of rebellious gods will make people feel very scary, so no one will come to peek.
Perhaps this is the reason why Yue was sealed here.
"Rebellion against God..."
Hearing Yue's words, Airi narrowed her eyes and began to think. If she knew this without knowing anything, she would probably feel terrified. However, for Airi, who knew the nature of this world, she felt that she might get along better with these guys.
Although I want to continue exploring downwards, Yue’s condition is not very good. Besides, since I already know about this place, it will be the same if I wait until tomorrow to continue.
"Anyway, let's get out of here."
As she spoke, Ai Li stretched out her hand to Yue, who was also planning to hold Ai Li's hand, but the next moment, Yue's face turned pale and he collapsed to the ground.
"What's wrong?"
“…I’m hungry…”
That's true. He hasn't eaten for hundreds of years, and he looked half dead just now. But vampires...
Ellie sighed silently.
I'm a vampire too, okay?
Although Yue didn't say anything, the way she stared at Ai Li like a puppy begging for food was enough to explain it all.
"You can only take one bite?"
"Um!"
Yue's expression brightened at Ellie's answer.
"Ellie's smell... is very fragrant... very... tempting..."
After all, he is the fourth true ancestor...
Just as Ai Li was complaining speechlessly, Yue had already jumped into her arms like a clingy puppy, then opened her little mouth and bit Ai Li's neck.
When Ellie returned to the surface, Yue already looked very content.
Seeing that Ai Li actually brought out a blonde girl, the others were also very surprised, but Ai Li didn't mind and quickly introduced Yue to everyone. If the locals knew Yue's life experience, they might be afraid of her. However, Lala and the others came from another world, and Meng'er and the others had lost their memories. In addition, Yue looked very cute, so the girls accepted her.
After going back, Ellie went deeper into the maze again. But this time she brought Nana with her, after all, the latter could communicate with animals, so monsters would certainly be no problem.
In fact, this is indeed the case.
"These kids seem to be afraid of you."
Walking in the corridor, Nana complained while looking at the monsters not far away.
"What on earth did you do? I heard them say something like 'the white devil is back'..."
“…”
This is not surprising, after all, Ellie fought her way in. For her, this was just an ordinary adventure, but for the monsters underground, it was no less than a giant dragon breaking into their home and catching them all in one fell swoop.
"Can you ask about the situation down there?"
"I asked, but they didn't know."
Nana shook her head helplessly.
"They said there are powerful monsters down there and they don't dare go down."
"Then we'll just go on our own."
Ai Li took Nana and Yue to the lower level, while Lala and Meng Meng stayed on the upper level. Ai Li originally planned to leave Yue there as well, but Yue said that she also wanted to see what the vampires were guarding, so she followed them.
Next, Ellie and the others continued to move forward...well, that's about it.
"...I finally understand why those kids are afraid of you."
Nana, who was following behind Ai Li, complained speechlessly that the further they went, the more powerful monsters they encountered. Nana would reason with them at first, saying that they had no ill intentions and were just passing by. However, except for a few of them, the other monsters obviously would not obey and directly attacked the three people - and then were mercilessly turned into corpses by Ai Li.
After seeing this scene, the other monsters were trembling with fear, and some even prostrated themselves on the ground begging for forgiveness... Nana was speechless.
"The law of the jungle is the law of survival. I don't think you want to be eaten."
“That being said…”
Nana's expression was still a little unhappy, but she didn't say much.
However, just as everyone continued to walk down, Nana suddenly stopped.
"Wait a minute, I heard someone calling for help."
“…Someone is calling for help?”
Hearing Nana's words, Ai Li and Yue looked at each other in confusion.
"We didn't hear anything."
"That's the monster asking for help???"
Ai Li listened attentively again, but still heard no sound. Instead, it was Nana who spoke.
"Ah, she's coming, I heard her!"
Then, in the next moment, everyone saw a small white spider desperately coming out from a crack not far away, waving its front claws and running towards them desperately. And behind it... a large group of centipedes made a "ripping" sound and came out from the crack.
Damn! This thing is too disgusting!
Looking at the group of huge black centipede monsters, Ai Li and Nana's hair stood on end, and even Yue's eyes turned into vertical pupils.
It's no wonder that these monsters look exactly like the centipedes that often appear in the house. They have a centipede-like body and long, thin limbs, and densely packed legs arranged on both sides of the body. They are household monsters that are more frightening than cockroaches. If this thing is enlarged to more than one or two meters long...
This thing gives me goosebumps just by looking at it!
At this moment, Ellie took out her magic wand.
Get rid of it!!
