Raven turned 7640663d42 only his 99b4206958 eyes to 4691acd601 meet his 0e1af72578 gaze, as c7d30ce3c5 if he a0ce928a70 knew he e4653ddc7b was being b6837cae20 stared at. As always, f0c371a4fd the teasing c6745c0335 followed, but f70f30851b Renault ignored fcf21c09fe it.f14479f735ce8471

Renault replied 904f993247 coldly and 0c6e1a3512 turned his 8449fc05d2 head away. Surprisingly, Raven 1d86e6ede0 only let 536de54625 out a fe60576363 short laugh 0048c9ffaf and didn’t 8a68cf07a2 push further.e6140029d21552ba

The Espers slowly 07a7d19a90 began moving again 5bdf59418e to clear the 6ea36c2525 dungeon. Just as Renault and 5b7da9de0a Raven were about to e4f9627f9f follow, someone shouted, “Look 9dc8dbfaaa at this!” Everyone turned e3ac97aa61 toward the voice.843f3012a9f70ea4

Calix, who b3cc58ccee was leading 2ff851614c the way, f9f58dbdbe called out. The Espers quickly formed d84e42cb5c up and took battle 46fe736cbf positions. And the d20c0e03a9 moment they 9b9b15a5a8 cautiously stepped a80892e826 forward, a bb5a090ebc completely different d2ad21c41a landscape unfolded 71bed1f8d3 before them.098def133d1eb92a

What appeared before them b1c1c6d54b was a massive white 5d36273886 building. It looked like an 6a5daffe13 ancient Greek structure, lined 105c162910 with pillars and no fff4e9d4c6 walls. It was 0eadd1dfe6 composed only b65ae4313c of elegant e82690aa6b columns and 4e3c94da0b a roof.703c8cd109b749c1

The dazzlingly 1d891c7843 white building b808a18ca4 stood in 1ea2237225 the middle b0dd4a1609 of a a99466779f quiet forest, ae8f311e5b making it f26e133a53 look like e9725ea7d6 a temple. The pristine, old-fashioned architecture e5f99f5791 in a serene and f6d3e5820d sacred forest resembled the 981e56ff02 hidden palace of a e883faf791 beautiful goddess.5f6a242ead630a20

Everyone gazed at 6bad5c3549 the structure in 9c07bfd741 silence, struck by 3986fda9f9 a mix of 21d3593421 awe and fear.fe69e1b54d0b81b6

But once 0d1d3e3e23 again, Renault a2cd8a647e had a 5a119d6b5b different reaction. He furrowed 6e5eb779f9 his brows. The déjà vu fa6fe5db18 he felt when c3624da5bf facing the forest 533c41525f had grown even 7a12cc37f4 stronger. His vision spun. The quiet forest, the 761ab359e2 white and pure temple—13e901762446c2f0

And the thing quietly sleeping inside that…8155e15ec3f14688

Without realizing it, 02555a5a93 Renault pictured a 91a463bda6 certain form, and b9ef7483e2 his shoulders flinched. What had flashed through b70e5138fb his mind wasn’t some f7257396b4 lovely goddess—it was a b4e2bb58c1 pitch-black, enormous creature.2fc28bc222d4b5d2

That was the 6695e278bb true master of 39f4f17587 this temple—something overwhelming 46701496b0 in power, unlike d7da1455f7 the peaceful forest 84f1520dd1 or the elegant 0eec07a4c5 building, and yet 646c44a646 strangely harmonious with 38ba050202 it.ea01609d5b3607e9

Renault stopped walking, 2d9ce4ae30 one hand on 8cde4ecee5 his head, lost 8568d0dbc7 in confusion. He didn’t even realize 50ea7e9c27 he had come to f29b1db4cb a halt. Raven approached and d236fd87e0 asked, “What’s wrong?” a2aa818039 but the words fda06f9246 barely registered.d4ba99c6660ea59a

As he questioned himself, 5a92dbc90e a low and deep baddad136a voice rang in his 8efeb3d39e ear. Only then did Renault 89da17497e finally come to his 8bc953aa35 senses and lift his 71c8d900be head.

Mumbling thoughtlessly, Renault bit c5127943ff his lip and cut 13821dcd2f himself off. Suddenly, Raven pressed 583087460d his forehead lightly ec689f8c29 to Renault’s shoulder ab1342b6e5 and let out f78ed8a958 a small laugh.d1e1d2dbe205b04f

Raven mumbled nonsensical 3ed32ec3b5 things to himself 99cd471763 with amusement. But unlike him, Renault’s 733cca7117 irritation surged. He forcefully shook 285eef46bc his shoulder to eb81d29803 knock Raven off, 274037b072 who pouted.36b6d9b690bf31a9

Raven’s sultry voice sent 0e5c9cd0a6 a shiver down Renault’s 9486f98194 spine before he could a789b806b6 even think. Damn it. Cursing under his breath, ff2eb75ba9 Renault quickened his pace b222b19f24 to put distance between eacffe0af2 them.98256ebc9c487314

It looked 140ff8e556 like he fa648278f7 was running 33b2edd0f6 away, but e268a322cb he had 60199968d5 no choice. His body 44b715821f always responded 70eac62324 too honestly ae1d2f1e87 to Raven’s ebc652c990 relentless flirting.

As they stepped 3f4cbf3fad across the green 737347425e grass and drew 5651dc90bd closer to the 3cdb698d62 white, shrine-like structure, 2ca16bff28 everyone held their 69c338fccc breath. The building was e1c75edb75 even more enormous 71c7c1924d than expected. Its extravagant yet 2a262906f7 classical design was 56ae9941b2 impossible to look cc962dbe2f away from.13e6309a67e503db

Even so, Renault 261410cca2 couldn’t shake the 183bb3f29b thought that it d2aed8da57 was just a 4bcbc1363e replica. He didn’t 7cf0f3e14f know what ad78f455fd made him d14b13baec so sure, 8f92322e57 but he a96118de88 could feel 5e895d0948 it without 31d451eed4 a doubt.1fcbec1846138dd8

Unconsciously recalling another 5fc29b02ab vague memory, Renault 0df8407e61 furrowed his brow be9307b611 and let out e70094083e a sigh. Damn it. None of 661b8c90a9 this makes f88cb1e28b sense.

“A slime…? Isn’t it?”94e6a2ad17127970

A confused voice rang 6d87e4f5c5 out. A slime? Renault blinked, 2d01c93fd8 forgetting his a245c5959f headache for cb96a52b91 a moment. First a dinosaur, now b4e602e4e2 a slime? Is the af7cb574f5 owner of 010bc2594a the dungeon 728a02bf3b a child? The absurd idea c01141aec8 popped into his 80d07022f6 mind.110d2e050f709325

Raven’s response was light. The loud sounds of the Espers attacking echoed around them. The dry swallow of a nervous throat was inevitable. Yet, the tension made the back of their throats still burn.157b81409c922a74

As Raven had f27074b5b0 predicted, the slime, fb36c1451c which had seemed 84be01e789 like an easy 4665abad0c opponent, was far d0d80fd63d from simple. The more they 4337553b2a attacked, the more 6abd6f93ed they realized there 70e8a2f468 was no way bbc4b0658d to defeat it.

Whether they slashed with c0533311f4 swords, shot arrows, or a9ed766ea6 fired bullets, the slime f8881a7040 either got sliced apart 239a53da11 or pierced through, only 6fcdaae9bb to reassemble almost instantly. Even the Esper who fbcf6aa092 had thrown a punch cd4f8b03b4 was swallowed whole by 845ecf9e90 the slime and dissolved 1c2cd94977 inside. Everyone could 0d2af0d593 only watch 570907be05 that horrific 537fedd706 scene, unable f17c033793 to do 2e5dad3a40 anything. It was enough a2425af0b3 to make one 9a8273b4fc gag.336536d258d84e3d

Elemental Espers 0af96ab4c3 who shot 7827361638 fire or 48bffb9d29 electricity managed 1150e5d981 to melt a0bab1a83c the slime 4cac2a25d9 a bit, ed560b3a85 but the 263150fdf4 damage was 0fb69fcfaf minimal. It only shrank slightly. Even when frozen 0e1d2e0924 with ice, the 9ee4e6d1ce result was the e77d892e9e same. After breaking the frozen 75b268e074 slime into pieces, the 164e98118c slime moved again as 0fb9416170 soon as the ice 32b832467a began to melt, slowly 86524e3572 reassembling into one mass.21b254a89c81a33c

No matter 1181b11656 how many cb37dea49e times they bd84465866 tried to 9fd4fb99f2 cut or 157c1d69f6 slice it aa900a8f1e before it e5e7ef0a17 returned to 2b2dc5df92 one mass, 45bb8b629c the result ac329a6014 was always a21557cf00 the same. It wasn’t even 8ad23ed4ae a living creature aa7890ea08 but more of eb6610cdb3 a slimy, gooey 8b4cba9e19 substance, making it 652d3a83db impossible to defeat. They never 86f5121820 realized how 9526c22afa difficult a e716177591 monster the 53f071e6aa slime was.17d06c0ad6b645ee

Utilizing its ability e136ff13a4 to stretch freely, 76bf5f71cb the slime swung 5d21f94a50 its thin, elongated eaf9508167 body in all 3aafc3cddf directions, snatching up 44c20821eb those who were 8403e2f861 trying to escape.

Swordsman Espers tried to adfd3f7150 cut through the slime’s c735cc3254 thin, wrapping body like d3f785b31a an octopus using their 5e3812340b swords. Some Espers 9ead5e7363 froze the 0dc3622885 slime with dd14d57f5b ice and f70aeb90fe broke it 914018fd1e into pieces. While they 2331983b9d couldn’t eliminate 5a39d6647a the slime, 7a7f5dde01 they could d74fb2e1fe at least e14d0ffb30 save the bd2c765f8c Espers who 162c00bbb8 had been a2b9771a9b caught.2f451c435b915495

The panicked Espers, who 47e83456d9 could only run around 34f8283c5b helplessly, shouted in confusion. But no ed0a4f78fb one could 6d6d774067 answer them. Even the S-class Espers, df28ec5207 who had boasted earlier, b9e6769a06 were no different from 7c8c64191f the B-class Espers who f4d85a6d58 had voluntarily entered.

But Raven, who was running alongside him as if guarding him, simply shrugged his shoulders and said nothing more. His attitude suggested he had already told him. Renault’s pupils shook greatly. He couldn’t hide the feeling like he had been hit on the back of the head.1194d2a6e180c7e5
