CHAPTER 517: CHAPTER 272: IS THERE A KIND OF MAGIC THAT CAN CREATE A MUSHROOM CLOUD_2

At that moment, the screen flickered intermittently.

The Elf Maiden and the white-haired girl hugged each other, their faces pressed together.

"I have a bit of a bad feeling..."

"Maybe we should turn it off..."

"Lina, you do it."

"No, no, I have a condition that keeps me bedridden..."

As the two girls complained to each other while holding on, a human figure slowly emerged from the screen. Pale hands crawled on the ground, with black hair dripping as if soaked in well water, hanging to the floor.

Suddenly, the room’s temperature seemed to drop by several degrees.

The upper body of the white figure entered the real world, blood-red eyes peering through strands of black hair, staring at the two girls.

A true apparition!

"Tr-truly an apparition appeared..."

The white-haired girl’s face turned pale.

The next moment, the terrifying atmosphere was broken.

The Elf Maiden excitedly jumped off the bed.

"What are we waiting for? I thought it might be a trap by the Adventurer’s Guild, so I was a bit scared. But it’s truly an apparition delivered to us! Lina, let’s move!"

"Eh?"

"Do you want Shami’s reward or not?"

"I do, I do!"

The white-haired girl hesitated for a moment but remembered the mission reward, and she jumped out of bed.

"?"

The apparition looked confused.

In the next second, the Elf Maiden grabbed the entire head of the apparition, pulling it out forcefully.

"Lina, hurry and help me, don’t let the apparition crawl back!"

"On it!"

The white-haired girl joined the Elf Maiden, wrapping her arms around her slender waist and pulling hard.

All at once, a tug-of-war centered around the apparition’s head burst forth.

The apparition kicked the ground, desperately trying to retreat into the well.

But the two girls gave it no chance, pulling like uprooting a carrot.

Typically, being a ghost, the apparition had the Ghost Attribute, allowing it to freely choose between physical form and ghost form.

In physical form, it could touch real objects; in ghost form, it could not.

But the fluffy-haired and white-haired girls came prepared, already having acquired the ability to [Touch Ghost Form] from the Demons Atlas, ignoring the ghost’s form switching.

"My, my head’s going to fall..."

The apparition pleaded, slapping the ground.

"Then stop resisting, apparition, we’ve waited for you so long."

The Elf Maiden put in all her strength.

The apparition, encountering such a situation for the first time, panicked even more.

She had always terrified others to death, and now she was almost being scared into a role reversal by these two girls.

She’s supposed to be the apparition here!

The apparition’s brain was filled only with the thought of returning to her well, desperately retreating into the screen.

But how could the girls let the apparition succeed?

With their combined efforts, the apparition was forcibly pulled out.

"Lina, hold it tight, don’t let it escape!"

"Yes!"

The Elf Maiden and the white-haired girl each grabbed one of the apparition’s feet, gradually pulling it onto the bed.

The desperate apparition’s fingers left ten nail scratches on the floor, as she watched the screen get further and further away.

As if watching her unreachable homeland.

"Great, now we’ve got five days left to play!"

The Elf Maiden popped open some champagne, entirely unaware that the apparition was about to make a desperate last stand.

Even if she’s a Video Tape Ghost who has traveled through several kingdoms, only nine people short of achieving the [Scare a Thousand Humans] feat, it’s not so easy to fall to these two girls.

One young and white, one older and white, they clearly haven’t experienced the power of ghosts!

The apparition opened her mouth wide, screaming soul-piercingly, shocking the two girls.

Both girls immediately released the apparition.

The apparition stood up slowly at the edge of the bed, showing eyes completely white, fiercely looking at the two girls, the room filled with an oppressive horror.

At the same moment, the white-haired girl standing on the bed made "whoosh-whoosh-whoosh" sounds, surrounded by golden energy, holding a long sword ready to strike.

"Lureya, should we act now, right here?"

The immensely powerful sword qi, like ocean waves, overwhelming the small droplets of horror emitted by the apparition.

(((;꒪ꈊ꒪;)))

If she angers that white-haired girl, she will definitely be physically annihilated!

The apparition instantaneously lost all momentum, and the next moment, turned around to run towards the screen.

But it’s too late, as the two girls pounce again, one grabbing the head, the other grabbing the legs, stretching the apparition like pulling a quilt.

"So you still want to run! Finally caught! Now let’s go back to find Shami!"

"Hold on, what about the inn? I still want to take all the furniture from here."

"Let’s spare the inn this time, Lina, wait for another opportunity."

A Teleportation Gate opened.

The fluffy-haired and the white-haired girls hastily gathered their essential belongings and walked through the gate, disappearing from sight, heading to Demon King Castle for reward.

Just as the two girls almost disappeared, the clock tower in the center of Zashi Deler City rang, with the City Lord leading his troops in encircling the streets where the girls’ inn was located.

"What’s going on? Why did I feel an extinction-level horror in the city just now?"

"We aren’t sure yet."

"How can you not know? That aura could destroy this place at any moment!"

"There must have been someone important here."

"Thoroughly investigate anyone who appeared around here within the last few days. That aura was released by the demon tribe. Otherwise, the clock tower in the city that specifically senses demon invasion wouldn’t have rung without reason!"

"Yes!"

Demon Realm.

Demon King Castle.

Shami paced back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back.

"Recently, my eyelids keep twitching, I always feel something bad is going to happen."

The Demon King’s self-muted voice echoed through Demon King Castle.

Shami hadn’t felt sleepy the last couple of days, and when the girls went to complete their tasks, he’d find himself in the hall, quietly watching [Painted Starry Sky].

Yet now, the sense of anxiety in his mind refused to go away.

The Dragon Race Maiden is currently completing a series of survival challenges in the Demon Realm using her tail.

The Elf Maiden and Dragon Race Maiden are also out searching for flying demons.

The idea of calming distracting thoughts by holding the Magical Girl’s little foot wrapped in his arms couldn’t be accomplished.

"That’s probably the only thing that could help relieve it..."

Shami muttered, thinking of the Magical Girl, and touching his forehead, some of the danger in his mind faded.

Leaving Demon King Castle, heading to the Magic Cottage outside the castle.

The Magic Cottage, as the name suggests, was established exclusively for the Magical Girl, allowing her to conduct various small experiments inside. It was four to five kilometers from Demon King Castle, so even if a magical explosion occurred, it wouldn’t immediately affect the castle.

Shami came to the front of Magic Cottage and knocked on the door.

After giving Magical Girl access to the cottage, she had remodeled it with magic to now appear like a shrine maiden’s forest cottage.

It really fits the Magical Girl’s image.

Magic Cottage was protected by a shield, which Shami passed through smoothly, knocking on the door.

The blue crystal hanging at the door automatically recognized Shami’s identity, making a clear ’please come in’ sound, and the door slowly opened.

Shami walked inside the cottage and immediately saw the Magical Girl.

The Magical Girl has been staying in the cottage for days, returning to Demon King Castle only for meals, sleep, and hygiene, spending most of her time here.

The Magic Cottage was filled with various magic items and magic books, and there was even a wall cabinet specifically for magical crystals.

Now the Magical Girl had taken off her magic boots, sitting atop a pile of books, studying, her white feet resting on a page, gently tossing her black hair across her chest, looking at Shami.

Seeing this scene improved Shami’s spirits.

"Are you looking for me for something?"

Shami was far from fragile enough to need a Demon Envoy’s little foot to comfort himself.

There was another way to make his anxiety and sense of crisis disappear.

"Saili, do you have any magic here that can produce a mushroom cloud?"
