Why am I the only male apprentice of the evil queen

Chapter 38 A wonderful meeting

The dark purple demonic mist is getting thicker and thicker, filled with a solid and suffocating smell. Just as the wind rises in the snow-capped mountains, snow is falling even in the canyons. The temperature drops sharply, and the fire burning the wine pot actually shows signs of being frozen. !

It's just all kinds of bad things packed together.

"This omen is abnormal no matter how you look at it. In our story, this is probably the presence of some powerful being." Kasalia marveled at the mutated and harsh environment and rubbed the goosebumps caused by the cold. skin.

Since she embarked on the path of cultivation, it has been a long time since she felt uncomfortable cold due to the environment.

"The same goes for our story here. The deep dreamland near the snow-capped mountains is a bit shallow. This is a very strange thing. As a result, the occasional appearance of powerful dreamland creatures will have a huge impact on the critical reality. , so Taima Ninja has branches nearby... But to be honest, this is the first time I have seen such a big change."

The female warrior closed her eyes and tried to feel the rhythm of the deep dream. The sword skills she practiced had strengthened and understood the [mind's eye], which gave her extraordinary sensitivity in perception. In a special place like the Otenhara Snow Mountain, In such a place, you can slightly perceive the unusual movements inside without entering the deep dreamland.

Kasalia learned to sense it, but found nothing and gave up:

"Can you really feel things? What have you discovered?"

Santukawa Lin frowned and told the female knight about the movement he sensed:

"I heard a little water sound, a little wet squirming sound, like a butcher turning pig intestines, and then there seemed to be a baby screaming?"

"..." Kasalia was silent for a moment, "How about we run away first? This sounds wrong. I have been on a mission before, and it is usually difficult to hear babies crying. What a great place.”

This idea was very tempting, but the female warrior shook her head and denied it, not because she didn't want to, but because she couldn't. She explained helplessly:

"Not good. Experience tells me that you are very close to the mountain pass, but this blizzard can make people get lost. It's okay if they just get lost in the mountains. They can survive the cold. Getting lost in deep dreams is fatal, and sometimes it's possible It’s some weird old dream.”

What kind of person is a female samurai? She is a lazy dog ​​who can’t afford to get up early without benefit. She will say “I don’t want to work hard anymore” from time to time. She is very afraid of the trouble of not getting benefits, so she will not fight back when she is chased and crushed. Until With the help of Kasalia as a thug, we can find trouble with the blacksmiths who organized a kick-off.

Kasalia, who is well aware of this, understands that Santukawa Rin is not an alarmist, in short, just follow her and be done with it!

The nearby cultivators gathered together and built a large bonfire as a group to keep warm. Those with a stronger sense of responsibility picked up their tools and patrolled around the bonfire camp, killing a few reckless and crazy monsters from time to time. Imp.

Afraid of trouble, Santukawa Rin put away her samurai sword and hid near the campfire like a weak peasant woman. Kasalia wanted to help guard the surrounding area of ​​the camp, but the current primary goal was to join Fenmu, and any unnecessary actions might lead to It is better to avoid deviations from the plan as much as possible.

A strange sound of fighting came from the wind and snow, faint but obvious. Soon, flickering shadows of fighting appeared in the wind and snow.

"Did I see it wrong? I seemed to see those big-breasted snow girls flying around in the sky being tied up with ropes and slaughtered." Kasalia said in surprise.

"Looks like the Taimanin are here. Now we are responsible for pretending to be weak and just being a gangster!" The female warrior seemed extremely positive and motivated about being a gangster.

On Fenmu's side, the sound of galloping horse hooves was still there, echoing in the deserted wilderness.

It stands to reason that this kind of desolate place is the most likely to breed lonely ghosts, but the current ghosts are very alert. After feeling the aura that is close to death but beyond death, they retreat one after another and observe these two people from a distance without any spells. The defensive carriage departed.

Fenmu was also interested in these lonely ghosts at first. He had dragged the coffin around for so long without seeing a few ghosts, but this time he saw enough at once.

It's just not interesting. Although some female ghosts have beautiful and voluptuous looks, such as Nako who is so big that they swing around, they are ghostly from the waist down. In other words, they have no butts.

Boring.

"Why--"

This regretful sigh with a hint of dissatisfaction has come out of Fenmu's mouth countless times.

When XP was controlled by Tavia, Fenmu finally failed to control it and was teased by her within a few seconds. Unfortunately, Fenmu had not had enough fun here, and the nun could not hold it back first. .

Later, even if Rachel showed off her eloquent skills and tried hard to appease Fenmu, he could not calm down his regrets.

Now Tavia is paralyzed like spring mud in the carriage and is being taken care of by Rachel, while Fenmu is thinking about the meaning of life without being able to enjoy herself.

This time we are in big trouble. I don’t seem to have any sense of satisfaction at all. But now the small goal is to meet Kasalia, and the big goal is to work hard to take down Anasta. Under normal circumstances, If you have time, give him a few months to enjoy himself and then start working again.

If it was just for a day or two, it would be better to let him hold it in all the time.

The only way to solve this problem now, apart from asking the master for advice, seems to be to make Tavia and the others adapt to his time rhythm.

Rachel walked out of the carriage holding the hem of her skirt, sat next to Fenmu, and said:

"Tavia will be able to rest soon... If Fenmu really wants it, I can use it as a portable pendant for Fenmu along the way. The recovery ability of succubi is better than that of humans. When the big one comes, The place in Tianyuan Snow Mountain should be about the same."

"No, no need. It's better for me to calm down my emotions faster, which saves time." Fenmu's mouth twitched, not wanting Rachel to arouse her suppressed anger again, so he changed the subject and said: "The ax that the kunoichi took away, you should have put a mark on it. Do you feel where it is?"

"Well, I first applied two more ordinary marks, but they were all erased, but the mark applied with the code remained there. I don't know whether she was paralyzed by the first two marks or whether she really has no ability. Erase the last one. However, the perception of the ax was intermittent in the middle. I thought she might be hiding in a deep dream. Now...it seems that she has appeared once in a place very far away in our direction."

"Well, I've almost sensed it. Maybe we can meet her on the way to the snow-capped mountains." Fenmu nodded, this should be regarded as a pastime during the journey.

"Maybe the place where she appeared is our destination, the Otenhara Snow Mountain." Rachel said with a smile.

"It would be better if it was." Fenmu knew it was a joke and didn't take it seriously. How could there be such a coincidence.

The topic was quickly discussed, and the maid inevitably focused her attention on Fenmu's awkwardness.

"Fenmu's tent is a bit obvious, do you really don't need to deal with it?"

"...let's skip this topic, okay?"

Chapter 39 Will she come out of the avalanche on her own?

There is a secret-like dream in the Otenhara Snow Mountain. It is part of the deep dream and is isolated from the deep dream. It is a small independent space.

Antou Shiranui has seen many similar spaces, but she has only seen one as big as this one.

In addition to the current Otenhara Snow Mountain, there is another identical snow mountain in the dream, but the snow mountain here is shrouded in psychedelic and illusory darkness, and everything is gray.

Now, this snowy mountain that exists in the dreamland is occupied by a group of believers of unknown origin. These people's facial features and looks are not the people of Amaterasu. Their combat skills and spell systems that are matched with weapons are mature, and they obviously have a long history. precipitated.

At least Antou Shiranui had never heard of this organization, and she had only joined in recent years, but she still couldn't see the full picture of the iceberg.

If it is said that it has existed for a long time but has been well hidden, it would be too thorough. There has never been a record of this sect in ancient books, but if it is said that it only appeared not long ago, then where did they come from? Moreover, it is an organization with a majority of men. If it were another organization, it should be dominated by female believers.

But that doesn't matter. Even people with unknown origins, as long as each other's beliefs are pious, then no matter how strangers they are, they are like-minded companions.

"Speaking of which, why do I believe in the night sky...?" The young female ninja murmured secretly, "When did it start?"

This sudden doubt did not last long, and was overshadowed by a vague but unbearable headache. She stopped thinking about this problem and turned her attention back to the mysterious ax seized in the ruined temple yesterday.

This was a worn-out ax that mysteriously appeared in the statue at that time. It was simple in appearance, without an overly ornate forging design, and could be used with one hand. It looked like a wood-splitting ax used by ordinary farmers.

But if you really think so, you are undoubtedly an idiot. As a ninja, you are particularly aware of potential crises and murderous intentions. This ax is stained with more resentment and blood than a retired ninja!

At that time, just focusing on it for a moment, Antou Shiranui's spirit was in a trance for a moment, and after testing it, it was her demon sword that broke. All the signs were enough to show that it was unusual.

On the way to bring it back, Antou Shiranui was vigilant and even threw it into the deep dreamland for several days. After confirming that nothing happened, he brought it back to the Night Successor sect's stronghold and waited for the opportunity to hand it over. The mysterious being above her.

"Maybe I was paranoid. The ax only appeared after the statue was broken open. There is no possibility that someone put it there temporarily to lure it. However, the ax is so precious that no one would be willing to use it as bait. "While resting, the female ninja reflected on what happened in the ruined temple. The haze in her heart gradually dissipated, and those doubts became clear in an instant.

Yes! That's it!

This ax was buried among the statues a long time ago. The demon souls they suppressed in the ruined temple were not taken away by others. They probably broke through the suppression and challenged the ax, and then it shattered!

As for the mysterious two women and one man who disappeared after breaking into the ruined temple mentioned in the intelligence, they probably just entered by mistake, but their arrival led to the unexpected release of the demon soul seal, and then the ax counterattack, even at that time she The sensitive changes in the body felt in the ruined temple were also caused by the breath of the ax leaking out.

Then the disappearance of the entire ruined temple is most likely due to the ability of this axe.

A clear clue of time logic was laid out in the ninja's mind, and there was no other possibility except this answer.

It couldn't be that someone had been observing her in the ruined temple at that time, and specifically asked her to take away this ancient ax in order to leave a bait, right?

When it comes to the art of hiding, ninjas are the best in this field. Antou Shiranui can say that there is no one who can hide under her nose without being noticed by her.

Suddenly, the room fell into a dead silence, like the loneliness wandering in the distant night sky. Along with a buzzing sound in the ears, a purple light group appeared in the ninja's room, and the indistinguishable voices of men and women came from the light group.

[Are the nutrients for the fetus ready? 】

Antou Shiranui swallowed her saliva. Under the chill of the snow-capped mountains, her delicate snow-skinned skin shed beads of sweat due to the pressure. She said with a dry throat:

"Yes, yes, there was a little accident along the way, but the nutrients dedicated to the placenta of the Son of God were all replenished. Also, I accidentally discovered this mysterious ancient axe. Take a look... "

"Oh?!" He said as if he was also surprised by the axe, and the halo of the light group expanded a little, "Great work, after the god of the night sky broke the placenta, he just needed a toy, you did a good job!"

"Ah sneeze——"

Fenmu sneezed hard, and a lot of branches and leaves on the tree in front were sprayed off. The originally lush tree suddenly became bald.

"What's going on? The morning journey was still clear and the sky was clear. Why is there so much snow here? It made me sneeze suddenly, but my constitution can make me shiver from the cold. Are you two okay? Do you want to join us? A piece of clothing."

But it seems that there is no extra clothes for them. If they really want to, they might just have to wear two more pieces of underwear or something like that.

"No problem, this is not an ordinary cold weather. It is difficult to add more clothes."

After Rachel finished speaking, she stretched out her hand and touched the skin on the back of Tavia's hand. The shimmer of psychic energy spread on her body surface, turning into a layer of warm protection. The nun who was not very good at using this kind of magic said "Thank you", which really helped her a lot.

The snow-capped mountains were already not far ahead. The raging snowstorm seemed to be shrouding the place like a barrier, and only the outline of the mountains could be vaguely seen.

"Not only through perception, but also with the naked eye, you can see the monsters wandering in the snowstorm." The nun frowned.

"Monsters are all trivial. The ax we left as bait seems to have disappeared here in the end. Where is it hidden? Or is there some special place in the snow-capped mountains?" Fenmu tried to sense the ax again. As expected, there is still no result about his whereabouts.

The previous disappearances were very short-lived and intermittent, but this time the breath disappeared and never appeared again. Either the female ninja completely gave up the ax here, threw it into the deep dreamland and escaped, then This snowy mountain hides her stronghold.

"Stop thinking, let's go fight Kasalia first. She may have to deal with these wandering monsters inside, and we can help her." Tavia still values ​​her companions, even though she knows her beloved ax Without his whereabouts, reuniting with his companions should be the first priority.

"How to find it? This snow mountain is huge." The nun asked him for help. The dream connection of the Righteous God Church did not work here.

"I heard that yelling in the snowy mountains may cause an avalanche. If an avalanche occurs, Kasalia will run to the foot of the mountain with all her strength, right?" Fenmu thought about the feasibility of this strategy.

Chapter 40: Powerful against Avalanche

"Please stay safe, don't act alone away from your companions, and support each other!"

In the midst of a blizzard, Marei Antou commanded her companions in the Taimaninhao to hunt the monsters.

No matter what kind of prefix they carry, Taimanin are still ninjas in essence. This group is not suitable for listening to orders and doing things at all times. Flexibility is their greatest strength and advantage.

Normally she would never talk nonsense and just get to work and be done with it. However, this time there were two newcomers among the companions, so she still had to supervise and let the old man take care of the newcomers.

Back to the present moment, Antou Marei couldn't figure out the sudden change in the Otenhara Snow Mountain and what happened in the mountain.

The demonic mist mixed in the miserable blizzard, the strange baby's cry vaguely echoing in the ears, all signs lead to an unfavorable result, but the sad thing is that I am afraid that before this result occurs, we will not be able to find out what it is. .

"First, the Vulpix City side sought support to suppress Hyakki Yakou, and now such a weird situation has occurred here in the Omagahara Snow Mountain..."

The female ninja's brows were frowning seriously. First, her mother, Antou Shiranui, appeared in the Taimo Ninja dormitory, and then her companions became mentally disturbed and disappeared one after another.

"It's been such an eventful time. I haven't heard any good news for a long time."

Putting aside the sorrow in her heart, she focused on the task at hand again - cutting off the wings of the snow mountain monsters. The monsters are difficult to cut off. As long as there is resentment in the world, they will continue to appear, but there is nothing that can be done against the demon ninjas. Just keep fighting.

"Zhenli, be careful yourself. The demon mist seems to have caused many demons to mutate. The banshee I just killed felt like a snow enchantress, but it also showed a fierce red light. This is the characteristic of an ugly girl, something is wrong." A female ninja flashed to Adou Marei's side and warned.

Taima Ninja is somewhat similar to the Demon Hunter heritage. It is known for its proficient knowledge of its prey and can target its weak points.

Snow Enchantress is the secondary name for Yuki Onna. It is one of the common monsters in the snow mountain area. Folks often refer to it as Yuki Onna. However, the anti-demon ninjas do not call it such a generic name because they know that Yuki Onna is as dangerous as the next level snow. The succubus is much more dangerous, and using random names will mislead your companions.

The Ugly Time Girl is a banshee who often appears late at night. She is extremely ferocious and her most obvious feature is her red clothes or red light. In most cases, this is what the red-clothed devil refers to.

It's not a fuel-efficient material to begin with, but now there's a trend of integration in this stuff?

After the short battle, another Taima Ninja called his companions over. Under the short sword, there was a beheaded demon. His skin was like gray snow, and his pale kimono was stained with blood. This was the demon he just mentioned. A new type of monster in a fusion state.

"How strong are these demons?" Antou Marei ordered to shrink the front first, her expression filled with gloom.

But there is still good news. A female ninja said easily:

"It's not that good. It's easy to dodge, and their fusion also retains the weaknesses of Snow Charm and Ugly Time Girl. It's very easy to defeat. But there are still some differences with this one."

The kunoichi lifted up the demon's sleeve with a knife. The arm under the sleeve was covered with eyeballs of different sizes, staring at them like enlarged dead fish eyes.

"Disgusting. Is this the fusion of the Hundred-Eyed Ghost? These monsters obviously won't appear in the snowy mountains. Did someone bring them here on purpose?!"

"Inform the people in the camp over there to go down the mountain. There is something wrong with this snow-capped mountain. It is better to leave early!" After weighing it, Antang Marei made a decision.

They had just formed a team and headed towards the camp when the babies' screams echoed in the snow-capped mountains became louder and louder. They were not cries, but the harsh screams of resentment after being unsatisfied.

Immediately afterwards, the ground began to shake violently, and heavy waves of snow rose from the top of the mountain, rolling the rocks downwards!

"Let's go! Come down the mountain quickly, there's an avalanche!"

*

"Sneeze!" Fenmu sneezed again and rubbed his nose angrily, "Although it's a bit chilly, it's not as cold as I imagined. Is it because the snowflakes are blowing in my nose? Why do I keep sneezing? .”

"My nose was itchy just now, but I didn't sneeze." Taivia clenched her fists, feeling very unhappy.

"I know that feeling, it's quite irritating." Fenmu expressed sympathy.
