Entry Editing: Loyal Succubus Nun

Even though she was the Destructive Giant Dragon, the Aura of Death would still affect her. For Su Xuan to send her in, wasn’t that...

But Su Xuan just put on a surprised expression. "You’re the Dragon who symbolizes destruction," he asked. "Surely you’re not afraid of the Aura of Death?"

"You!"

Hearing this, Mare Rhine grit her teeth for a moment before breaking into a smug grin. "Hmph, hahaha! At least you have some sense! I am a Giant Dragon—why would I ever fear death? Little Undead, I’ll accompany you inside!"

"Mm."

Rosaline nodded softly and stepped into the cave.

Mare Rhine took a deep breath before stepping into the cave.

The moment she went in, Lucia’s fingertips danced through the air. A brilliant golden light instantly wrapped around Mare Rhine, adding another layer of protection.

Once they were both inside, Su Xuan immediately activated his Adventurer’s View to keep a close eye on their progress.

The cave’s interior was dark and gloomy, with poor visibility.

Fortunately, as Guild President, Su Xuan could adjust the brightness of his Adventurer’s View, allowing him to see the scene inside clearly.

But Mare Rhine and Rosaline walked for a long time without seeing any signs of life, not even a single Skeleton.

’Is there nothing inside?’

Su Xuan murmured, staring at the screen in confusion.

"There is! There definitely is!"

At that moment, the Blue-haired Female Elf, Xiaoyou, spoke up urgently. "I can sense a powerful monster inside! Its... its aura makes me uneasy. It’s a threat to our home!"

"You’re saying you can sense the monster’s presence?" Su Xuan’s brow furrowed.

"I... I can’t really explain it, but I can feel it..." Xiaoyou said shyly, her voice trembling.

Noticing Xiaoyou’s anxiety, Beiya Fuli and Beira Furo rushed to her side to comfort her. "Don’t be afraid, Xiaoyou. The Guild President is a good person!"

"That’s right! Just tell the Guild President what you feel!"

Encouraged by the sisters, Xiaoyou gradually calmed down.

She took a deep breath and bravely explained to Su Xuan, "I can sense the monster’s presence. Its aura is incredibly powerful, maybe even... on par with the Power of the Queen!"

"As powerful as the Elf Queen?"

Everyone’s expression turned grim upon hearing her words.

The Elf Queen, after all, was one of the most powerful beings on the Magic Continent, her strength practically unmatched.

Even the Level 99 Bright Pope wouldn’t dare guarantee a victory against the Level 96 Elf Queen.

And now, this Elf named Xiaoyou was claiming the presence in the cave was as powerful as the Elf Queen...

That meant even if it wasn’t quite the Elf Queen’s equal, it was definitely a Demigod.

This made Su Xuan wonder if he should summon Kanlutia as well.

Just then, Mare Rhine’s voice, filled with rage, suddenly rang out. "Damn it! I smell that thing’s scent!"

Her voice was laced with a hatred that suggested she’d found her mortal enemy.

"?"

Su Xuan raised an eyebrow and turned to Mare Rhine. "The scent of the Life Giant Dragon?"

He immediately realized it was likely the Life Giant Dragon named Mira Orri that had entered Mare Rhine’s perception.

"That’s right! It’s her!"

Mare Rhine nodded, replying through clenched teeth, "I’d never forget that scent. It’s her! She’s right here!"

"Calm down. Don’t go collapsing the cave."

Su Xuan quickly tried to soothe Mare Rhine.

Mare Rhine took a deep breath, trying to compose herself, but she still muttered, "If that thing is really here, I’m going to tear her to shreds!"

"There’s something here."

This time, it was Rosaline’s voice.

Everyone immediately turned their gazes to the feed from Rosaline’s view. In the deepest part of the cave, a corpse sat silently.

Its hands rested on a jet-black sword. The armor it wore was shattered, but it hadn’t corroded with time. Instead, it emitted a strange glow.

"Is this a human corpse?" Su Xuan’s voice was tinged with doubt.

Even though many humanoid species existed in this world, the corpse before them showed no non-human traits.

Furthermore, its skeleton was a strange, lustrous black, like polished jade.

’This probably isn’t the Undead Monarch. So who is it? And why is it here?’

Su Xuan made his judgment based on the information the Elf Queen had provided.

The Undead Monarch was of the Snake-man Race, a clear difference from the human corpse before them.

"Hold on, I’ll go check it out." Mare Rhine started walking toward the corpse.

"Don’t get any closer!"

Suddenly, Lucia’s warning cry rang out.

All eyes instantly snapped to Lucia.

Her expression was incredibly tense, as if she had sensed some unspeakable horror.

As Su Xuan’s gaze fell on Lucia’s face, his own unease intensified.

Because Lucia was the Pope of the Bright Church Court!

Whatever could make a Pope look so panicked had to be deeply wrong. That corpse was definitely not normal.

"A seal!"

At this, Lucia explained to the group, "This corpse is a seal. As for what it’s sealing... I can’t be certain. For safety’s sake, do not touch it!"

’A seal?’

Su Xuan’s gaze fell on the corpse once more.

Mare Rhine had mentioned that Mira Orri was sealed away somewhere.

’Could it be...’

’That this is the place where Mira Orri is sealed?’

"She has to be in there! Mira Orri, she has to be!" Although Mare Rhine was desperate to use the corpse to find a clue about Mira Orri, her once-impetuous nature had calmed considerably since she’d joined the Guild.

Cowed by Su Xuan’s authority, Mare Rhine simply stood her ground, her crimson eyes fixed on the corpse, and made no rash moves.

"Since we’ve confirmed this isn’t the Undead Monarch’s lair, you two should pull back for now," Su Xuan said, then assured Mare Rhine, "Don’t worry. Once we’re strong enough, I promise I’ll help you find her and get your revenge."

"Hmph!"

Mare Rhine snorted but obediently followed Su Xuan’s order. She and Rosaline left the cave together.

Seeing this, Su Xuan let out a long sigh of relief.

If Mare Rhine had insisted on touching that corpse, it likely would have triggered an unavoidable disaster.

Soon, the two of them were out of the cave.

"Good work." Su Xuan smiled, reaching out to gently pat Mare Rhine on the head.

Mare Rhine shot him a look of disdain, as if to say, ’I’m not some little girl! I don’t need you to comfort me!’

But she was cooperative and didn’t pull away.

When Su Xuan turned to Rosaline, however, the thought of a head pat didn’t even cross his mind.

He just said flatly, "Let’s head back."

"Mm."

Rosaline nodded, her expression as placid as ever.

Just as everyone was about to leave, Ivsha suddenly noticed something on Rosaline’s armor.

"Wait! What is that?" Ivsha asked Rosaline, her voice filled with surprise.

All eyes immediately focused on Rosaline. On her armor was a glob of a pale pink, viscous substance.

Su Xuan reached out and plucked the pale pink glob from her armor.

Information about the substance immediately appeared in his vision:

[Life Substance (?): A substance originating from a Life Giant Dragon, containing an extremely potent aura of life.]

’A Life Giant Dragon’s Life Substance?’

Su Xuan’s expression turned to one of shock as he read the information.

’Doesn’t this mean the Life Giant Dragon really is sealed here?’

And just then, a faint voice echoed in his mind. "Human, can you help me?"
