Chapter 1020 - 494: My Treasure
"I was wrong! I know I was wrong—no, don’t!"
"Ahhhh—no way! I can’t take it anymore!"
"It’s going to break!!!"
In the Mirror Space, a girl’s heart-wrenching wails echoed from the mirrors at all angles as if she were being violated.
"...Tch."
And Luhier, deemed as the "villain," twitched her lips with disdain, frowning slightly, while gripping the sword’s hilt with increasing force, almost wishing she could strike with her sword.
"Alright, Luhier, let her go this time."
Herbert, cradled in Luhier’s arms, gently patted her forearm, signaling for her to release him.
"..."
Miss Fallen Angel decided to ignore the man’s gesture, pretending nothing happened and continued leaning against him for a while longer.
"Alright, don’t pretend you didn’t hear that."
Luhier sensed Herbert’s small hand about to do something unsavory and instinctively shrank her chest to dodge the silent attack, retorting displeased:
"...I’m not letting go."
"C’mon, let go of me,"
Herbert gently coaxed, "You see, you can’t just hold onto me like this, can you?"
"I can."
"No, you can’t!"
Herbert felt helpless against Miss Fallen Angel’s "sucking impulse," turning around to hug her gently and softly said:
"Alright, be good. I’ll come find you later, I promise I won’t hide on purpose."
"..."
Finally, Luhier resisted the urge inside her, reluctantly let go of Herbert, and, under his gaze, silently moved the sword’s edge away from the mirror.
"...Then I’m leaving."
"Mm, go on ahead, I’ll come to find you later."
"...Hmph."
Luhier knew she had made enough fuss and that continuing to fight would be meaningless, so she snorted softly.
Before entering the return Teleportation Gate, she turned to look at the pretending-to-be-dead Mirror Demon nearby, slightly frowning.
The Mirror Demon minimized her presence and stuck to one of the mirrors in the Mirror Space.
To play the part of an ordinary mirror, she even wrote "I am an ordinary mirror!" on the mirror’s surface.
The words were bold, red, highlighted, and in cursive as if fearing no one would see them.
"...Hiss!"
Seeing this absurd scene, Miss Fallen Angel couldn’t help but twitch her mouth, turning away, unable to bear the sight, feeling the scenario was truly an eyesore.
This guy, really an Epic Strongman?
How can she be so embarrassing!!?
"Hehe..."
Whether "playing dead" or "provoking," Lukalia clearly understood Luhier’s gaze, snickering twice and sighed softly: "If not forced by circumstances, who would want to embarrass themselves like this?"
Oh?
Herbert, intrigued by her words, mischievously asked, "So you’re saying you’re not convinced? Luhier, she’s not convinced—"
The Fallen Angel, half-stepping into the Teleportation Gate, immediately turned to the eye-sore mirror with a soft hum, "Hmm?"
!!!
"No! No! Absolutely not! Heh heh... Absolutely not unconvinced!"
Miss Mirror Demon immediately wore a flattering smile, the shadow in the mirror winking continuously at Herbert.
"Lord Herbert, don’t you think so, huh?"
You, quickly, let her leave!
"Hmph."
Seeing Lukalia’s performance, Luhier didn’t question further, lightly snorted, and walked back to the Aurora Sanctuary.
Click.
"Phew—"
Lukalia relaxed immediately after the Fallen Angel left, letting out a long sigh and muttering to herself: "Why did she suddenly become so terrifying? It feels like she’s even stronger than before!"
What a monster.
Clearly, we’re all Epic, yet she could evolve a second time!
Miss Fallen Angel had already given the Mirror Demon immense pressure before. Though seemingly on the same level, she couldn’t retaliate, always sensing a deliberately suppressed hidden power within her.
Now that I look again... hey, it really is!
This guy, suddenly isn’t pretending anymore.
Could it be that her former status was just a façade?
"Stop overthinking it. Luhier didn’t hide her strength on purpose before, she just realized something earlier and restored part of her original power."
Herbert immediately guessed what Lukalia was silently complaining about and supplemented leisurely from the side:
"However, whether she can fully return to the Saint Level depends on how much she ultimately comprehends... Anyway, I reckon she’s still a bit short."
Luhier used to be very strong.
As the Archangel of the Sun Goddess, her power was decisively not weak.
Even among the Saints, she was especially powerful, absolutely part of the top tier.
Whether she could match the "beyond logic" level of the Archbishop was likely still some distance away.
Currently, there are three Epic Level Monster Girls in the Mist Monastery, but the newly Epic Valentina and non-combative Lukalia are simply no match for Luhier.
Not only in combat experience and skills but even in sheer destructive power, they can’t surpass Luhier.
The Sun also excels at Destruction.
Let’s not forget, Alberta has made [Destruction] one of her Main Divine Positions!
And as her most beloved Archangel, Luhier’s fighting style is thus easy to imagine.
...Of course, if they could compete in eating, then no one in the Disciplinary Hall could match Valentina.
The Hungry Dragon will stand atop the heavens when it comes to eating!
In short, if Luhier wants to smoothly return to her peak period and reattain the Saint Level, this will certainly not be an easy task, requiring much more effort than ordinary people.
