"Erica!"

(｀^)

"You're in trouble!"

o(*｀ー)o

When Shirji and Gus both landed smoothly and were lucky enough not to be thrown to death on the spot, Shirji was standing nervously next to her dragon that landed on its head, and when she looked at a certain stupid uncle with worry.

When using that clumsy technique and holy light to heal the huge dragon whose chest and abdomen became dripping with blood, Anne, who only focused on herself jumping on the dragon to escape at the critical moment, of course turned around and spoke to a certain person in a serious and serious manner.

The instigator reprimanded loudly:

"How could you mess with that 'magic item'?"

(;｀O)o

"Just use it, don't use it until you see it clearly!"

(｀)/

"Look, look, Shirji's precious dragon has been beaten to a pulp by you. As a result, we may not be able to leave until at least tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

(σ｀д′)σ

Anyway, Annie will definitely not admit that the toys she gave away long ago have anything to do with her, and she will not be responsible for anything that happened today.

Anyway!

This is all Erica's fault!

She said it was the other party's fault, but it was also not the fault. Her Lady Queen Anne had the final say on this matter!

(…)

(●￣￣●)

"Woo..."

"This, you can't blame me for this!"

"You may not know that various monsters often attack us during this period, and we managed to hold on here with great effort. We just saw this big guy flying down, and we thought it was the monster that came to attack us again.

It’s a terrible thing, that’s why…”

"Say it again!"

"You are hiding on its back and flying so high, we can't see you at all!"

After first shrinking her head and enduring some of Annie's groundless accusations, Erica then gritted her teeth and stubbornly defended herself, saying that she really didn't mean it just now, she just wanted to fight off the incoming attacker.

The monster is just protecting everyone. Who knows that it will accidentally knock down one of its own?

Furthermore, the giant dragon is not dead yet. The other party was just blown off a layer of skin, and was frightened by the successive explosions and fell down. It seemed that the fall was a bit serious, but Gus

If you are here, nothing big will happen for sure.

"in spite of!"

(へ╬)

"At that time, everyone came down and shouted to stop, but you still hit me. That's your fault!"

(ˇεˇ)

Anne continued to yell angrily, and when Erica turned her head and shrank her neck to look to the other side, she walked around and stood in front of her.

"alright."

"Annie, there's no need to say any more."

"Fortunately, it's nothing serious. It's just a flesh injury and some shock. After Gus's treatment, he will be almost recovered by tomorrow at most."

"It's fine."

At this time, before Annie could continue speaking, Shirji, her elves Ibarela and Gus finally finished the treatment and all walked to the courtyard protected by sharp wooden stakes.

He also gave gentle words of comfort.

"Great, Gus, you're back!"

"Gus."

"Brother Gus!"

Seeing Gus come in and hearing Shirji say that the dragon was okay, Erica, whose face was full of apologies and shame, cheered with relief and went up to greet her with her adoptive fathers Gott and Rickett.

Qi greeted Gus.

"Um."

"Are you all okay?"

"Casca is here too?"

"Very good!"

Gus nodded towards the three of them first, and then in a blink of an eye he found Casca hiding in the door frame of the house timidly observing them secretly. After seeing the other party's intact appearance, he couldn't help but relax.

tone.

"fine."

"It's okay for now. Erica still has a lot of powerful weapons, so we can persevere."

"but……"

"I don't know why, but in the past month, those monsters have appeared during the day, and there are more and more types. Some of them are very scary, and some are even the kind of creatures that only exist in legends?"

"Then we saw that the goblin mine was useless, so we had to move Casca here. If you don't come back, we don't know how long we can hold on."

At this time, Rickett, who followed Gott forward, first stared at Gus's gorgeous costume and light armor. After realizing that Gus was no longer the sloppy look in black clothes and black armor, he felt heartbroken.

He was slightly confused before he explained.

"Maybe the goblin mines can no longer conceal the aura of Cascaia's brand, right?"

"Now that you are back, and the two brands are together, I don't know what terrible things will appear."

As he spoke, Rickett laughed bitterly again.

During this period of time, they basically stayed here and resisted, never leaving. They had no idea what was going on in the outside world, and they didn't get any more information. Therefore, they took it for granted that those who had appeared this month were

The monsters are all caused by Casca's brand.

"brand?"

Hearing this, Gus couldn't help but be slightly startled.

"No!"

"The brand is basically useless now."

"Those monsters..."

"They are not attracted by the brand."

After first staring at the traces of battle inside and outside the ferocious spiked railings and the rotting corpses of certain monsters for a while, Gus turned around, shook his head and sighed.

"ah?"

"Isn't it because of the branding?"

Rickett and Gott looked at each other. Rickett's face was full of confusion and disbelief, and it seemed a little difficult to understand what Gus just said.

"The whole world has changed."

"That is to say, the underworld and this world have become one. The brand on our bodies and the breath of blood are no longer the only ones that can attract those monsters."

"But it would be better to let Shirji use magic to cover up Casca later. This will save some trouble."

As he said that, Gus couldn't help but glance at Casca in front of him again, who was hiding behind the door frame and looking at them.

We haven't seen each other for many days, and the other party is actually alienated from him again...

So much so that now she refuses to come out when she sees him coming back. She just hides there and observes secretly. From the other party's expression and those ignorant and cowardly eyes, it is not difficult to guess that the other party's condition must not have improved at all. Then

There is no doubt about it.

So, thinking about this, while his hatred for a certain guy became stronger, Gus couldn't help but sigh softly in his heart.

"??"

"Is the Nether World integrated with this world?"

"What is the Netherworld?"

"Aren't those monsters really attracted by Casca's brand?"

"Gus!"

"Tell me, what's going on? Do you know something?!"

First they looked at each other in surprise, and then Gott and Rickett gathered in front of Gus, and they couldn't wait for Gus to tell more information that they didn't know.
To be continued...
