Chapter 46: Trauma
El had a long nightmare in which he seemed to be a mindless beast and had gone through a night of madness. The girl was crushed and ravaged like a broken doll, and the screams of pain and pleasure were still in her ears. The black thorns entwined between each other, injecting streams of sweet and greasy juice into the body, which did not quell the burning flames, but only intensified the ferocity of the flames.
It's not so much an instinctive impulse as it is a rough conquest, and even if the physical strength is reduced to the standard of ordinary people, it is far from being able to withstand the delicate body in a sick and weak state. Blood soaked the velvet blanket beneath him, but the abuser turned a blind eye to it and never stopped asking for it.
The night passed, and when I woke up, it was already dark.
Every muscle in his body was aching and unbearable, this was a situation that had never happened since El was promoted to the silver rank, and the rapid regeneration ability of the life rune could repair his body in time, as long as he was not cut off and pierced through the heart, even if he was stabbed back and forth seventy or eighty times, he could survive.
This doesn't mean he doesn't feel pain, but it's just a simple pain that can be endured with strong willpower. And the soreness he feels all over his body now is like being completely hollowed out of his body overnight, squeezing out the energy in every cell, like a sponge wringing out water, full of holes and leaking air on all sides. Even the power of the runes is a little overwhelming.
In fact, it seems to be true.
Compared to his own physical condition, El is more worried about the safety of Lolana's life. He couldn't help but sweat as he recalled the scene in the nightmare, and as soon as he regained his strength, he couldn't wait to open his eyes and look.
After last night's toss, even the magically reinforced tent was torn out one after another, and the dawn light passed through the cracks and reflected on the snow-white skin.
The girl leaned against the other end of the tent, hastily covering her body with a blanket, her eyes fixed on the dust floating in the morning light, and her face still stained with tears. The torn clothes on the floor and the broken bottles and cans all showed signs of last night's madness, but she herself didn't seem to be hurt much, and her skin from her cheeks to her collarbones was still as white as snow, adding a healthy rosy color compared to before.
Seeing that the girl was safe and sound, El subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense spirit also relaxed. At this time, he really felt the emptiness of his body, as if his spinal cord had been sucked dry, and it took a lot of strength to even get up and turn over.
"Useless man......" He vaguely heard someone muttering behind him, and suddenly couldn't help but look back.
Lorana blushed, crossed her legs and turned her head to the other side, pouting as if she was angry.
"What did you say?" El asked through gritted teeth, his worries and apologies washed away by the words. His self-esteem as a man irritated him...... But soon this anger turned into panic. He had just recalled the crazy experience of last night, and it had been a whole night!
For a man who is physically and mentally healthy, this is definitely enough capital to be proud of, but if even this can be called "useless", has that woman become a **** banshee?
"What the hell happened last night?"
Suppressing his excitement, El forced himself to calm down and solve the most pressing problems first. He hadn't figured out how yesterday's dangerous situation had turned into a crazy night.
It's not that in his heart, he was so resistant to the relationship with the eldest lady, but in that situation, he asked himself that he couldn't have developed to that point with his own reason anyway. But the facts were in front of him, which made him deeply doubt his inner will.
Thinking back to last night's anomaly, El suddenly remembered that there should be someone else here besides himself and Lorana. At that time, Jessica had almost fallen into a near-death state after failing to cast a spell, and she had come in to save people, but later she strangely forgot about her existence.
He looked around blankly, but he didn't see the girl in the tent, and in the same way, Palanti, who was guarding the door, was nowhere to be found, and even the little Langa, who had established a psychic connection with him, seemed to block the signal.
It was just him and Lorana, looking at each other.
"Her Royal Highness Princess Rose is the High Lord of Hell who can be compared to the gods, and her wisdom is more unfathomable than we think. Luo Lana smiled bitterly, lowered her head and said: "The so-called will awakening is actually a lie, this is actually a simple question of chicken or egg, but we have not seen that the more powerful the law of chaos mastered by the advanced demons, the more it will be resisted by the world of order." An existence of the level of Princess Rose, even a trace of will, will cause conflict with the laws of this world order. ”
"You mean to say that she can't actually get by, right?" Hearing Lorana explain, a sense of powerlessness suddenly rose in El's heart. If the rose seed itself is a fake, then it is a hard work in vain...... However, if this is the case, what is the matter with Lolana's condition?
"There's nothing impossible in this world, it's just a matter of cost and probability. In fact, twenty years ago, the remnants of the Demon Sect had already communicated the will of Princess Rose through some unknown method, which is why there was the Rose Seed brought by my mother. There is nothing false about the origin of the Rose Seed, but they deliberately concealed a truth, and the Rose Seed is just a magic fetus containing power, and it has not been protected by the will of the Rose Princess. ”
"Uh...... What do you mean, can you put it simply?" Hearing Lorana's habitual broken mouth, El couldn't help but interrupt. Although she hated the girl's long theories, it also showed that at least she was recovering well, which made El feel a little at ease.
Of course, if you don't understand the question, you still have to ask it directly, which is a good habit.
"In short, Jessica is right, that rose seed is indeed a great complement for ordinary demons. Her worries were unnecessary, as Princess Rose's will could not survive in this world for long, so there was no danger of being counterattacked. Lorana whispered.
"Last night...... It doesn't look like there's no danger. "El's heart actually wants to ask Jessica about her situation. However, in this environment of two people alone, it is not wise to rush to mention another woman. El is not an expert on feelings, but his instincts have always been more accurate.
"That's not a backlash...... It's poisoning. We all ignore the fact that it is almost impossible for plants that grow in the environment of the Abyss Hell to be free from poison. And the seeds taken from the body of the rose princess can be imagined to be toxic. ”
Lolana bit her lip and sighed, "Venus's temptation is an essential oil extracted by alchemists from the Black Rose of Hell, specially used to make high-level aphrodisiac potions, it is said that only three drops can make humans and orcs have a love that transcends racial barriers. ”
"And the Black Rose is only a branch of the Hellrose family, and the real Hellrose is highly poisonous and can even erode the human mind, silently inducing the deepest primordial ** of the soul. This poison has been known for its antidote to the depravity of humans by the demons of the High Powers since ancient times. ”
"So we were all poisoned last night?" After listening to Lorana's explanation, El couldn't help but pout, if this was the answer, his inexplicable impulse yesterday was just human nature. But he clearly remembered that the girl last night was the real leader, didn't that mean......
"Uh...... That one...... You mean, after we're done with that...... It's detoxified, isn't it?I see that your body seems to be recovering quickly?" Seeing the girl's half-squinted eyes and a dangerous gaze, Elgan asked with a smile.
"Because I'm advanced. The girl glared at El angrily, her face became strange, she hesitated for a moment, turned her head and whispered: "As the mother who conceived the demon fetus, this toxin has advantages and disadvantages for me, on the one hand, it stimulates my body's instincts, and on the other hand, it can absorb the other party's ...... Transform into life force to nourish itself. ”
......Seeing the girl's blushing and strange face, Er instantly understood the connotation of this, and suddenly couldn't help but feel a chill behind him, and his lower body began to soften.
"It's just a pity that you, a useless guy, have left the mortal level after building the rune cycle, and I didn't get any benefit from tossing all night......" Lolana said with a blushing face dodging El's gaze, pursed her lips and said in a huff.
What do you mean that you didn't get any benefits? It's almost squeezing me dry, and then you're so radiant, dare you say that you haven't reaped any benefits? If you don't get any benefits, you can easily advance? Aren't you afraid that Palanti girl will cry to you?
Looking at the girl's relaxed appearance as if nothing had happened, Erqiang couldn't help but say this sentence. Although he knew in his heart that things were not so simple, now that Lorana had recovered, it was the best outcome.
As for the troubles that will arise in the future, then leave it to be solved later, in this era of precariousness, it is not easy to live one more day, who still has the heart to think about such a distant problem.
"Is it a matter of posture...... Why don't we talk about it again in the evening?"
"Get out!"
