Chapter 235: A Passing Slime

In the southern mountain forest, with Tina’s help, Lolth swiftly completed the upgrade and transformation of the first magic circle.

“Now try to operate it… Hmm, it works perfectly!”

Observing the magic circle, which was perfectly concealed after being fully activated, Lolth displayed a satisfied expression.

This magic circle, designed to respond to different magical fluctuations and varying levels of hostility from intruders, would implement different strategies when utilizing space magic.

After all, Patricia had managed to break in here before — even though that Great Sage turned out to be a decent individual who didn’t touch the vegetables, fruits, and livestock on my farm, we cannot always depend on intruders to be well-mannered.

Following this enhancement, Lolth was confident that even Patricia could not traverse this magic circle again without being on guard.

After all, this ancient runic technology should only be mastered by her alone on the continent — the crystal core given to her by the Plague Evil God isn’t something one can find just anywhere.

Tina’s reaction confirmed this quite clearly.

She examined the magical structure that Lolth used to upgrade the magic circle, which she could not comprehend at all, and her face was filled with admiration and longing.

“It’s so powerful, Mistress Lolth! You have completely mastered the runes you saw in the Evil God’s space! You truly are Mistress Lolth!”

As Tina said this, Lolth humbly waved her hand.

“No, it’s mainly because I received some ‘study materials’ that I could master it so quickly… Your assistance was also very important. Without you, it would have taken me a considerable time to complete this upgrade.”

As Lolth expressed this, she showed a thankful expression.

But Tina couldn’t accept it and quickly shook her head seriously.

“Helping Mistress Lolth and resolving your problems is my duty. How can that make you thank me! Please don’t do this, Mistress Lolth, I would feel very distressed!”

As Tina spoke thus, Lolth could only nod.

“Okay… I understand now.”

Although this fairy seemed much more serious and normal than before, sometimes she still behaved a little strangely!

Lolth thought this and gently cleared her throat.

“So, Tina, how did you feel during the upgrade process just now?”

As Lolth inquired, Tina’s face turned slightly red.

She recalled the sensation of their magic intertwining and almost becoming one.

The complex magical structure was like a labyrinth; her magic almost got lost within the wizard’s magical system, aimlessly guiding her while she sensed countless energies from Lolth, who occasionally directed her, but mostly surrounded her like a distant yet close presence.

Even though there was a runic structure between them, that structure was still composed of Lolth’s magic, nourished by her own power, which indeed blurred the boundaries of their magic.

It felt almost like their souls melting and intertwining, and from that, new elements and structures were continuously being born.

This is a thousand times more thrilling than the stories I have read in picture books!

But why does Lolth want to ask me this?

Is it to make me express it aloud?

That’s not too bad, even though it’s difficult to articulate, but since it’s Lolth asking.

“I feel a bit shy… but also a bit nice…”

Tina gently bit her lip and said with rosy cheeks.

Lolth looked at Tina and displayed a puzzled expression.

“Huh?”

She merely wanted to check if Tina, as a “priest,” someone akin to a pastor and a spellcaster, felt any discomfort with this ancient script structure.

But I don’t understand what this little spirit is talking about; it sounds so peculiar.

Seeing Tina’s flushed face and her “nonsensical” talk, Lolth couldn’t help but wonder.

Because most priests, like warlocks, often require mental power to utilize magic.

Could it be that using excessive magic or having a complicated magic structure caused her mental power to backlash?

Or perhaps she hasn’t fully recovered since emerging from the evil Divine Kingdom…

“If you’re struggling, don’t force yourself. There are many more magic circles like this ahead.”

Lolth said with concern, but upon hearing this, Tina shook her head vigorously.

“No, Lord Lolth, I can do it!”

She stated this, then bit her lip, and her face turned even redder.

There are many magic circles like this, which means I still have numerous opportunities to feel what I just experienced.

Tina felt a wave of dizzy happiness.

Can I truly continue experiencing a close connection with Master Lolth on a magical level?

Lolth had no idea what Tina was contemplating. Since Tina was so determined, she didn’t wish to refuse and simply nodded in agreement for now.

“Okay… let’s proceed to the next one.”

However, she still remained vigilant and decided to monitor Tina’s condition carefully.

If anything seemed amiss, she would need to halt the upgrade of the magic circle immediately.

With this thought, Lolth approached the second magic circle and began reconstructing the ancient runes.

Soon, after the core component was established, Tina’s magic began to assist Lolth in stabilizing and completing this magical structure again.

At the same time, she noticed that Tina’s mental state was curiously unstable.

Every time her magic guided Tina’s magic, there appeared to be significant fluctuations in her mind and soul.

Because Lolth’s succubus gift had diminished considerably, she did not understand the specific cause and direction of those fluctuations.

Lolth felt that it might be appropriate to take a pause.

But considering that just moments ago, Tina seemed resolute to help and not be burdensome, Lolth was uncertain if stopping now would produce the opposite effect.

In the midst of her deliberation, all of Lolth and Tina’s attention as high-level spellcasters was focused on the magic structure, and their remaining thoughts were on each other.

They completely overlooked a small, ordinary slime happily bouncing closer to where they were.

Of course, since this slime was far too weak, even if it launched an all-out attack on Lolth and Tina, nothing would happen.

However, the direction the slime was heading was not towards those two powerful magical auras.

The mindless slime monster approached the magic circle that Lolth had just upgraded.

That is, the one right beside Tina and Lolth.

The new identification system of the already activated magic circle immediately recognized the magical energy’s source as the slime stepped inside.
