Chapter 468

Chapter 468: Jilly—

Compared to its huge mouth that almost filled its entire faceless head, the girl’s slim waist seemed like it could be swallowed in one bite, leaving only two pieces of her body on the ground…

Jilly could almost imagine her fate.

At that moment, she had no strength left; the monster’s large hand gripped her ankle tightly like an iron band, leaving no hope of escape.

Facing the threat of death, time seemed to slow down.

The girl struggled to look behind her and faintly saw a few figures rushing toward her, but the distance seemed too far…

And… what is it? Why can’t I see clearly?

The girl who was being held upside down blinked, and suddenly something slipped from the corner of her eye, warm and wet.

Am I… crying…?

The monster’s huge, gaping mouth was getting closer, and the girl could even smell the terrible stench of blood from inside it.

Am I going to die?

She slowly closed her eyes.

Just about to die at the hands of the monster, just like the soldiers she had seen before being torn apart and swallowed whole… the girl surprisingly felt little fear, only more regret and longing in her heart.

The regret was that after traveling the land for so many years, she couldn’t find her enemy for revenge; the longing was… to see her sister just one more time.

Again? That seems wrong; I have never seen my sister’s face.

I remember the voice very clearly, and even now it feels like I can still hear it in my ears.

“Jilly!”

Yes, this is the voice.

Sometimes at night when I sleep and dream, I even dream about it. Ah, why did I suddenly remember this? It makes me a little… shy.

“Jilly!”

No, why is the voice getting louder and… clearer?

An unbelievable thought popped into my mind, and the girl suddenly opened her eyes, looking in the direction from which the voice came.

It felt like time started flowing again.

Boom!!

Before Jilly could see anything, something suddenly fell from the sky and hit the ground next to the creature, bringing a loud crash and a cloud of dust that caught the creature’s attention.

The dust hid the creature and Jilly from each other’s view.

“Roar!!”

The creature roared in the direction of the dust and prepared to charge into it.

Just as it lifted its foot—

The dust suddenly exploded outward, and something fast zipped past.

Sizzle—sizzle—sizzle—

With dozens, even hundreds, of piercing sounds echoing from its body, the creature’s left foot froze in the air, and then its body shattered into countless pieces that fell to the ground with a crash.

The brown-haired girl, who was being held by the creature, saw a blur in front of her, and after falling slightly, it felt like something caught her.

The world turned back again.

The brown-haired girl, feeling dizzy from the sudden actions, first saw the small hand that held her waist.

This hand looked even smaller than her own, as white as beautiful jade, with skin that looked delicate and soft; it was hard to imagine that such a small hand could support her body weight.

Could it be that she was saved by a girl even younger than herself?

But the voice that just called her name was…

She then looked up at the person who had saved her.

And just with one glance, she couldn’t take her eyes away.

The one who was hugging her was a petite girl with long white hair and red eyes.

The girl’s white hair danced in the wind, her skin whiter than snow, and her face was so delicate that it looked a bit unreal.

Is there really such a perfect girl in this world?

That’s right; if Jilly had to choose a word from her vocabulary to describe her, it would be perfect; even perfect isn’t enough to capture her beauty.

For a moment, Jilly was completely captivated.

…

…

“The villagers of Western Village One, I have sent the female ants from around the village to help them.”

Lin Yu gently held the brown-haired girl in her arms and said softly.

However, after she spoke, the girl in her arms did not respond but continued to look at her with a dazed expression.

“Jilly?”

Could it be that she was too scared to think?

The white-haired girl waved her other hand in front of Jilly, but there was still no response.

Just as she was about to take action, a voice echoed in her mind.

“Master, that guy is coming back to life again, meow.”

Lin Yu then turned her gaze to the humanoid monster that she had just chopped into pieces with her sword.

She saw that the pool of blood and flesh was indeed coming together and wriggling…

“Hmph.”

The white-haired girl glanced at Jilly’s bloody ankle, and her eyes turned icy.

She raised her hand, and a ball of blazing fire suddenly appeared before her small hand.

The fireball grew bigger and bigger until it reached the size of a washbasin, then it suddenly shot out and landed on the pile of blood and flesh.

The flames quickly spread, covering the entire pile of blood and flesh.

Lin Yu watched as the pile of blood and flesh struggled and twisted like a living thing in the flames, soon getting roasted, and then turning into a pile of charred remains.

“Ah, other monsters are coming too, meow!”

“This just never ends.”

Looking at the humanoid monsters attacking from all around, Lin Yu frowned.

Earlier, when she was on Orna’s back, she had thought about having fun defeating monsters, but now, seeing Jilly badly injured, she lost her desire to practice.

After complaining for a moment, the white-haired girl held Jilly in one arm and, with her sword in the other, charged at the incoming humanoid monsters.

With the boost from the yellow-haired ally, her agility and strength reached a very high level. After a few quick movements, the humanoid monsters that attacked were sliced into pieces, just like the one before.

Just as she planned to use fire magic to destroy them—

“Leave this to me, Mom.”

A girl with green hair appeared in front of her and waved her hand.

A splash of acidic liquid was thrown out and landed on the puddles of chopped meat, followed by a hissing sound of corrosion.

Compared to fire magic, the acidic liquid seemed to be more effective at corroding.

“Okay, next I will take Jilly to Western Village One, and you all stay here.”

Even though other daughters had gone to Western Village One, and there shouldn’t be any problems, she wouldn’t feel safe unless she saw it with her own eyes, right?

Lin Yu looked at Jilly in her arms.

At some point, the girl had already fallen asleep.

Did she finally faint from the pain?

“Blondie, take us to Western Village One.”

The white-haired girl touched her chest, where a golden dog paw print was pressing against her skin.
