Chapter 598 He was slapped to death by a little monster.
Although he said that, Princess Emilia's unease did not subside this time, and it lingered.
Diluc unceremoniously picked up the miscellaneous crystal treasures from the treasure chest and put them all into the Deep Blue System's inventory.
They also ransacked the entire hall.
Emilia frowned as she watched him wander around the main hall. "Is that enough? How long are you going to plunder? Don't waste any more time."
"Don't worry, my princess. It won't be long before we have all these treasures. It would be a shame not to take them."
After Diluc finished looting all the treasure chests, he elegantly tossed his long golden hair and said, "Alright, let's continue."
He took out something that looked like a crystal ball from his pocket.
As he cast a spell on the crystal ball, streaks of brilliant starlight began to shimmer within it, eventually coalescing into a continuous display.
"Based on my experience, it should be this way."
Diluc pushed open a door.
Emilia remained silent, followed behind by several holy elf guards.
The group continued walking towards the next palace.
Upon arriving at the next palace, Diluc, as usual, inspected the area, searching for an exit.
And then it's time for the next one...
At first, the group didn't realize there was anything seriously wrong.
But soon Princess Emilia began to realize that something was wrong.
“Master Diluc,” Emilia couldn’t help but ask, “Why is it that after you’ve led us around for so long, all the palaces and all the rooms here look exactly the same?”
“This…” Diluc: “I think the rooms in this dungeon were all designed to be exactly the same when they were built.”
Emilia glanced at the wall beside her and thought: Impossible...
Even if all the rooms have the same design and layout, there will definitely be differences in the details.
And these rooms are so similar, not to mention the details, even the location of the spider webs in the corners is exactly the same!
How could it have been designed during the initial construction?
"Could it be that we're lost?" Aaron asked in surprise.
“That’s impossible.” Diluc shook his head, still trusting his experience: “Your Highness, please trust my expertise.”
The environment grew colder without anyone noticing.
An eerie chill filled the air.
"Roar......"
A strange gasp came from the darkness.
"What's that there?!" Emilia's eyes widened as she stared at the dark corner.
Several holy elf guards also became alert and drew their weapons.
A female humanoid creature, resembling flesh and bone, appeared in their field of vision. Her long, disheveled hair and gaunt, skeletal face were striking. Her hands were large with long, outstretched fingers, like branches. She staggered out of the darkness, muttering something to herself.
"What kind of monster is this?"
Emilia frowned.
Diluc burst out laughing upon seeing the humanoid female monster: "Your Highness, there's no need to be alarmed. This is just a casualty."
"Funeral companions?"
"It is said that some of the most sinful prisoners of the human race were enslaved and buried in this underground palace along with the First Emperor of the human race."
Diluc said, "Many royal tombs among the myriad races also have such burial companions. They are not only buried with the emperors, but also guard the underground palaces of the royal tombs to prevent tomb robbers."
"But you don't need to be afraid at all. This is just a small monster, the lowest level among the guardians of the imperial tomb."
"The combat power of these burial companions is extremely low. Although they look terrifying and disgusting, due to their age, their muscle tissue has softened and collapsed, making them basically useless trash that can be crushed with a single blow. Their combat power may not even be comparable to that of a Yellow Realm transcendent."
"Besides, she doesn't possess the Azure Dragon's power right now..."
Diluc smiled as he gracefully drew his one-handed sword: "Your Highness, please step back. This monster will shatter in one blow. Be careful not to let its blood splatter on you."
Emilia remained silent, thinking to herself: 'A little monster, huh...'
She silently stepped back a few meters.
"Poor coward, let me help you find release."
Diluc shouted and swung his sword to strike.
The female burial monster tilted her head and looked at him, then raised her hand and slapped him.
puff--!
Like a watermelon bursting open, red juice splattered everywhere...
Blood splattered far away, landing right at Princess Emilia's and the others' feet.
However, it wasn't the blood of that female monster who was buried with her.
It's Diluc's blood...
Diluc's sword was easily broken.
The female burial monster slapped him across the face with her large hand.
Diluc hadn't even reacted yet; his confident and composed smile was still frozen on his face.
Then his head exploded...
He was sent flying backward, his body arcing gracefully through the air before crashing heavily into a stone pillar in the main hall.
"Paji"
My lower back hit the pillar, and I heard the sound of my spine breaking.
His body bent at a 120-degree angle at the waist and fell to the ground.
A pool of blood appeared on the ground.
Emilia: “…”
Aaron: "..."
The other Holy Elf guards: "..."
The scene was quiet for a few seconds.
Princess Emilia wore an incredulous expression.
Master Diluc is quite annoying...
But he is a genuine Saint Realm Level 1 expert!
He was actually killed by a mere monster... with just one slap?!
What a joke! ?
"Roar......"
The female burial monster roared again and staggered toward Emilia and the others.
"Princess, be careful!"
Several holy elf guards quickly stepped in front of her.
"Roar!"
The female burial companion monster lunged at him, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.
"Protect the princess!!"
"For the glory of the Holy Elf Kingdom!!!"
Several holy elf guards shouted slogans and charged out with their swords raised.
Then came a series of heart-wrenching screams.
"what!!!"
"Aaaaaah...!!!"
That seemingly thin and weak "little monster," whose body resembled a skeleton, actually killed two Holy Elf guards with just two slaps.
Then her mouth suddenly opened wide, almost 180 degrees.
She turned into a split-mouthed woman.
Disgusting fleshy growths sprouted from its mouth, and sharp teeth emerged from them with a "whoosh," before it bit down on the neck of a holy elf guard...
Amidst screams of agony, the four holy elf guards were devoured alive, piece by piece, by this female monster.
