He was thinking about a very serious problem.

This mentor Merlin... isn't he a little bit unserious?

He looked up at Merlin, who was grinning like a rogue.

"Emperor Lao Deng, this Blade Master you gave me doesn't seem to be that serious."

At first, Louis thought that this Blade Mentor just smiled in a frivolous way, but he was still a brave and righteous elf warrior as recorded in history.

But now he feels that he was wrong.

This Blade Mentor fully demonstrated to him what a "just battle" meant.

Especially after he fully understood the weakness of the Fallen Shadow Beauty Snake, he decisively changed his operation.

"Louis, relax. These are necessary sacrifices to win the battle."

Louis didn't want to talk.

After all, this operation is really speechless.

…

the next day.

When Olivia stretched and got up, she saw Alice sitting on a big rock with a complicated expression.

"Morning, Alice."

"Grass."

Olivia: ??? My friend, why are you cursing?!

Alice realized that she had said the wrong thing and said awkwardly:

"I was saying fuck to Louis, no, I thought Louis was fucking..."

Little Swan: ???

Alice pinched her brows and said, "I can't explain it clearly at the moment, you will know when you come and see for yourself."

Olivia was curious, so she used her hands and feet to climb up the rocks, and then she saw a scene of extremely lush grass.

…

Next to the river.

Louis, who used the ability of [Mimicry: Fallen Shadow Beauty Snake], was walking by the river.

Not long after the snake's tail slid slowly, a beautiful snake emerged from the water.

Perhaps it thought Louis was a very charming fellow, and tried hard to show its charm around Louis.

Louis just hooked his finger and it understood what Louis meant.

It crawled over with joy, an expression that said, "This is going to be a pleasant night."

Then, when Louis was approaching, it couldn't wait to wag its tail and move towards Louis's outstretched hand...

With a puff sound.

A sharp sword had pierced it through.

Louis moved quickly, piercing Rimuru's heart with a sword, and then started the next hunt.

When Grace came out of the tent, she saw the two women sitting on a big rock, so she said, "Olivia, Alice, good morning."

“Fuck.”×2Grace : ???

The little swan said awkwardly: "I was saying fuck to Louis. Oh no, I thought Louis was fucking..."

After a moment, she always felt that she had just said this a few minutes ago.

She subconsciously stretched out her hand: "You will know when you come up and take a look."

Then Grace saw a scene that shocked her worldview.

Louis walked towards a beautiful snake holding snake eggs.

The beautiful snake immediately made an attitude of inviting someone to come to its bed, and it took the initiative to lie on a white jade rock with its tail raised.

Then Louis stepped forward and backstabbed him.

Rimuru ingredient +1.

This had a huge impact on Grace's simple worldview.

Let’s be honest.

When she saw the cute snake beauty raise her buttocks on her own initiative, her face turned red.

But unexpectedly, Mr. Caesar seemed not to notice all this and his attacks became more and more ruthless.

...but she didn't hate it.

Mr. Caesar, who treats bad women equally, is also very charming.

The three women quickly came forward.

Louis did not cancel the mimicry, and just walked over with his snake tail and said: "Although it is using beauty as a lure, in my current form, if I take the initiative a little, the flaws revealed by the beauty snake will be infinitely larger."

The little swan was speechless.

Black, really black!

Why didn’t I think Huoguo was so insidious before?

Louis coughed and said:

"Taught by Master Merlin."

Merlin snorted, expressing his dissatisfaction to Louis.

Basically, it means "to kill the enemy with the highest efficiency, don't be obsessed with cleanliness."

Louis figured it out.

This Blade Mentor and his men have indeed had "collision" with many opponents over the years, so they do have a lot of combat experience.

This set of operations has a kind of mad dog fist-like beauty, and it is an advanced version.

It not only attacks the body, but also the mind.

Just as they were about to walk out of the nest, an obviously male Fallen Shadow Beauty Snake seemed to have noticed the movement in the nest.

After seeing the messy marks at the entrance of the nest, it hesitated at the entrance for a long time and dared not go in.

Grace says:

"Is it afraid of us?"

Louis shook his head.

It dragged its tail and walked towards the cave entrance.

He held his head high and walked towards the Fallen Shadow Beauty Snake with the attitude of a winner.

Then, when the Fallen Shadow Beauty Snake saw Louis, who was prettier, stronger, and had more beautiful scales than it, it subconsciously lowered its head.

The next moment, Louis punched out.

"Just kill the Fallen Shadow Beauty Snake."

Olivia/Alice/Grace: ???

Rimuru ingredient +1.

Louis looked at the fallen beauty snake that had already begun to be digested by Rimuru, and said speechlessly: "You brainless green slave who encourages evil trends. I was expecting you to fight to your heart's content, but you gave in?"

"Then I will blast you to pieces!"

The pure love warrior can't stand the slightest bit of minotaur.

The following battle was like being fast-forwarded.

Louis fully verified one thing: under special circumstances, appearance can also be a highly lethal weapon.

This is especially true when facing the Fallen Shadow Beauty Snake.

The power of Fallen Shadows flowed into his body through Rimuru.

Correspondingly, Louis' mimicry became more and more powerful.

After he crushed a beautiful snake in his arms by holding his sister in his arms, he found that the power of the Fallen Shadow he absorbed could no longer further improve the spell model of the Tiger Taming Technique.

He lowered his head and looked at his reflection in the stream.

In the mimicry state, his Fallen Shadow Beauty Snake form underwent some subtle changes, and a bone crown grew on his head at some point.

Merlin's virtual body floated around him, and he exclaimed in amazement: "Amazing, really amazing."

"Fallen Shadow Beauty Snakes have existed since ancient times. Under normal circumstances, their levels are only LV3-LV5."

"But among every ten thousand Fallen Shadow Beauty Snakes, there is only a chance that one Fallen Shadow King Snake will be born."

"The characteristic of the king snake is that it has a crown of bones on its head."

"This is the third time I've seen the Fallen Shadow King Snake."

Louis raised an eyebrow and said, "Is it amazing?"

"It's not very powerful, but the characteristics of the Fallen Shadow King Snake are very special."

"How special?"

Merlin said strangely: "Its body will be even larger. Ordinary beauty snakes will easily succumb to the king snake, and the Fallen Shadow King Snake will transform from the reflection of the Fallen Shadow into a real living creature."

"Unlike the previous fallen shadow monsters that merged into the earth after being killed, the fallen shadow king snake will leave its body even if it is killed."

"Perhaps because they are no longer reflections but living creatures, it is very easy for the Fallen Shadow King Snake and the Beauty Snake to produce offspring when they mate."

"All the Fallen Shadow King Snakes can use the Beauty Snakes under their control almost at will."

"As a group of serpentines, they seem to have an extreme passion for laying eggs."

"Give the King Snake a little more time, and the Shadow Fallen Beauty Snake tribe will truly become a physical native monster of the Shadow Fallen Underworld."

Louis nodded.

Half of this morning has passed.

They were heading towards the passage leading out of the Shadowless Underworld.

…

On the other hand, William was in a miserable situation.

In a huge nest, William put down the sword in his hand, and a rare look of fatigue appeared on his face.

"Your Highness, where on earth did you go?"

In front of William, there were densely packed corpses of Fallen Shadow Beauty Snakes everywhere.

Perhaps because they were killed too quickly, quite a number of them did not turn into ink and flow into the earth.

There are even a large number of tiger-shaped monsters around.

After being killed, they also began to turn into ink and flow into the soil.

William kicked the Fallen Shadow Beauty Snake in front of him to the ground.

"Can this beautiful snake tribe actually produce a leader?"

"I don't know if it has any usable magical materials."

Although William had some knowledge about the Shadowless Underworld, he was indeed unaware of the existence of the Shadowless King Snake.

However, this did not prevent him from obtaining materials from the Fallen Shadow Beauty Snake.

After some inspection, he took off the snake skin and the laurel crown on the head of the Fallen Shadow King Snake and turned to leave.

Suddenly, he heard a series of sonic booms in the sky.

When I looked up, I saw the head maid Lumi, fully armored, flying at high speed in the sky.

William's face lit up with joy, and he shouted, "Lord Lumi!"

However, before he could finish his words, Lumi's figure disappeared from his sight.

William was speechless.

Just as he was about to say something, he saw a string of white waves rushing towards him in the sky.

Looking more closely, it was Rumi who had already flown away.

︿(￣︶￣)︿

Rumi fell from mid-air and landed on the ground, took out a magic item and threw it over.

"Take this and suppress the Fallen Shadow Curse on you."

What she threw to William was a curse-removing item blessed by a top priest.

Unlike Louis and his group.

She and William are not as resistant to the Shadowfall Curse.

If she and William didn't have this thing, they would be in trouble.

"Can you sense where Louis and the others are?"

William wanted to cry but had no tears: "I can't feel it. The distance is too far. The mark I gave to His Royal Highness Louis has not responded."

He left a positioning prop for Louis.

It is precisely because of the existence of relevant positioning props that he can use a series of skills of the Iron Guard to teleport to Louis at the fastest speed.

But now, the locator on his side did not respond at all.

It was obviously quite a distance away from where Louis was.

Lumi showed a hint of fatigue on her face, threw him a horse card and said:

"The horse props made by the magicians of the conjuration department. Get on the horse and I will go with you to search for them."

Spellcasters are good at summoning creatures from other worlds, and this horse item is bound to a certain kind of horse from another world.

You only need to activate the item to summon a galloping horse to serve as a temporary mount.

"Remember to transfer the money when you get back."

Lumi added.

Just because the two of them can still withstand the Shadowfall Curse doesn't mean that the summoned horses can resist the curse.

If nothing unexpected happens, this horse prop will be scrapped as the curse on the horse by the Shadow Fall continues to deepen.

——After all, a horse that has been transformed into a fallen shadow is not much different from a dead horse.

After the two men got on their horses, they continued to run around like headless flies.

The only thing to be thankful for is that she now at least has William, the [Human Louis Locator].

She was sure that wherever Louis was, there was the little swan.

"We have to speed this up a little bit."

Lumi said with a gloomy face, "The guy who attacked Olivia seems to have followed us into the Shadowless Underworld. I can sense the remaining aura on him."

The murderous intent in her eyes emerged uncontrollably.

If something happened to Little Swan, how would she explain to the princess?

…

At this time, at the riverside where Louis and his men had previously killed the Fallen Shadow Beauty Snake.

A pair of cold eyes were staggering on the ground.

His skin was as pale as a deathly person, and his eyes were filled with the cruelty and ferocity of a wild beast.

Suddenly.

He stopped.

A hideous smile appeared on that zombie-like stiff face:

“Found it!”

"finally found you!"

He was like an old wolf that had been hungry for a long time in a snowy winter. He suddenly smelled the blood left by his prey and ran in the direction where Louis and the others left without hesitation.

…

And at this time.

Louis and the others continued to move in the direction of the exit indicated by the pocket watch.

All the monsters encountered along the way were eliminated one by one.

【Fallen Shadow Bee】

Challenge Level: LV6 Shadow Magic: Sweet Words, Sharp Sword

Effect:

When not attacking, the Shadow Bee can consume magic power every day to generate the special ingredient "Happy Honey".

When attacking, the Shadow Fell Bee can launch high-speed flying swords with penetrating damage from its lower abdomen.

Some adventurers maintain a good image of their adventure group to the outside world, but they often cheat and kill their employers in private. Some even have a side job as bandits.

The Shadow-Fell Bee is said to be the reflection of this type of people.

This battle of the Fallen Shadow Demon Bee is Rimuru's home court.

Rimuru transformed into a giant slime, took the damage, and swallowed up the beehive first, digesting more than 20 Fallen Shadow Bees that had not yet flown out.

It then degenerated into a slime again, allowing Louis to treat it as a stone and directly use a slingshot to snipe the enemy flying in the air.

With the help of Little Swan's magic, the group of Fallen Shadow Bees were quickly eliminated.

After Rimuru absorbed a large amount, he successfully unlocked the advanced form of the Fallen Shadow Bee.

[Mimicry·Fallen Shadow Queen Bee] get it!

[Sweet words, sharp sword] get it!

Then, as they passed through the forest on the mountain, they encountered a very difficult plant monster.

【Fallen Shadow Creeper】

Challenge level: LV4-LV5 Shadow Magic: Flame-seeking

Effect:

It can parasitize the Fallen Shadow Monster, absorb the power of the Fallen Shadow Monster, and launch a fire attack on the enemy.

It is said that this thing is the reflection of certain people who climb up by any means necessary.

In fact, one or two Fallen Shadow Creepers are not that troublesome.

The trouble is a large group of creepers.

Crawling on the top of this mountain was a huge monster that had rotted away to the point that only its skeleton remained.

The fact that it did not transform into a shadow and penetrate the earth indicated that this monster was an indigenous monster.

Louis seriously suspected that it was one of the monsters that was granted equal death by Emperor Laoden at that time.

The Fallen Shadow Ivy took root on this hill-like monster.

Having absorbed a large amount of power from the monsters, they launched a series of fire bombardments as soon as they met, overwhelming the few people so that they couldn't raise their heads.

In the end, it was Little Swan that turned the tide.

The third-level fireball spell was promoted to the fourth-level fireball spell under the upgrade of the super magic expertise spell, and with the blessing of the little swan's unique physique, a large amount of magic power was injected into it, further expanding.

Finally, in front of everyone's somewhat stunned gaze, a dark green fireball like a small sun fell on the monster.

A huge explosion covering an area of ​​thirty or forty meters rose into the sky.

When it comes to dealing with such a stationary target, the Little Swan's lethality is simply explosive.

It's a pity that the burnt Fallen Shadow Creeper could not be turned into food, and the magic was not collected.
