Chapter 262: Awakening and Current Situation
With Tina’s unreserved healing magic, Lolth slowly awakened from her coma after just a little over an hour.
Opening her eyes and seeing Tina, Isabella, Maider, An, Dorothy, and Kanor gathered around her, looking down at her, while hearing the buzzing voices calling her name, Lolth felt as if she was at her own funeral.
"Master Lolth, you are awake!"
"You’re awake… I’m glad you’re okay, Lolthlinda."
"That was really scary… Lord Lolth…"
"I told you the lord would be safe!"
"Master Lolth, I made you some special tea to help you relax…"
"Teacher, I’m so glad you are okay!"
Lolth listened to these caring words; even though it felt noisy, she also felt a bit of relief inside.
"Anyway, we made it back alive," she sat up in bed, her body and spirit feeling completely normal, "So… what happened to the town? What occurred?"
She still had to pretend she didn’t know anything, even though she had only been unconscious for an hour, the real time she should count from was when Gandhi Alter appeared.
Upon hearing Lolth’s question, Tina replied.
"After you encountered that old man, Gandhi Alter, and fell unconscious in Lolth’s presence, an elder named ‘Lolia’ captured him. However, during the fight between Ms. Lolia and Gandhi Alter, while I and Isabella were following Ms. Lolia’s orders to take you away, we were attacked by The Final Churchcultist."
"That’s right, one of them is Chyzh Winchester, whom we met in Palgauro City," Isabella added. "But the other one is stronger, probably at the legend level Middle Level… Even though the four of us managed to hold them back, that legend level cultist opened a portal to the evil Divine Kingdom using dark magic, and a lot of Ultimate Power escaped."
"Fortunately, Ms. Lolia arrived just in time again. Soon after she entered that evil Divine Kingdom, the portal closed, but we don’t know about Ms. Lolia…"
Tina said this with a worried look.
"Ah… Don’t worry about her; she is fine, I can feel it," Lolth said seriously, then continued to ask, "So… what is happening in Hillenbrand Town now?"
"Everything is normal now, my lord. The cultist had already died when opening the portal… Following the instructions from Lord Isabella and An, we have temporarily dealt with the leftover Ultimate Power," Maider replied immediately. "I worked with the Superoperators at Hillenbrand Town police station to turn that power temporarily stable using magic."
"The group of mercenaries from South Sotua has been temporarily put into the ecological chamber… Uh, and ‘Old Order Sword’ Gandhi Alter was defeated by your elder, but he has been put into a separate room."
An also added.
This guy was not a member of the Hillenbrand Town police station, but he seemed to be unusually involved in the affairs of the town right after fighting someone.
"Ah… I think I understand the situation now. Thank you both for your hard work," Lolth said, looking at the two guys who looked pale, weak, and confused. Even though she had been unconscious for an hour, she was full of energy and felt a bit embarrassed. "You two should rest right away. Don’t use your powers again for a while!"
Saying this, Lolth climbed out of bed and stretched a little.
"Hmm… Everyone can go now. Do what you need to do. I’ll rest for a bit and then check on those mercenaries and Grandpa Gandhi."
As she said this, Maider and An nodded and left. After all, these two were in much worse shape than Lolth.
Dorothy and Kanor were still a bit worried, but as Lolth’s "students," the two girls obeyed her instructions.
"Understood… Master Lolth, the soup is in the kitchen. Don’t forget to drink it!"
Kanor said this and turned to leave with Dorothy.
However, Tina and Isabella stood still.
Lolth looked at the two of them, feeling a bit helpless.
"You two, don’t just stand here—I’m completely fine now!"
After she said this, Tina and Isabella shook their heads at the same time.
"Mistress Lolth, my main job is to serve you, so even if it’s just ‘doing what I should’, it’s right for me to stay here!"
Isabella was even more straightforward.
"You just fainted after a direct attack from a Holy Domain expert; even if you seem fine now, who knows what side effects there might be—I’m worried you might suddenly faint again!"
As she said this seriously, Lolth showed a somewhat embarrassed expression.
"Oh dear… how should I put this…"
She wanted to complain that she actually hadn’t fainted because of the attack from the Holy Domain expert, but because she had bumped into an evil god…
From the fact that she fainted without any resistance and used no tricks, it seemed she had been cursed by this "God of Demise"…
Moreover, the God of Demise is even stronger than I imagined… Currently, the known active gods on the continent are probably only the Winter Ice God, the God of Light, and the Earth Harvest Goddess, who are at the same level as it.
But these words should definitely not be spoken out loud.
"Alright, alright, Isabella, nothing will happen, I promise you!"
Lolth said this, gently pushed Isabella, and awkwardly changed the subject, "Well… didn’t Maider just say that. The Ultimate Power in Hillenbrand Town has only turned into a steady state, so please gather them and bring them to the torture tower for me to handle—it’s dangerous to leave them outside, isn’t it?"
"Okay, I’ll trust you for now… What a helpless situation."
Isabella heard what Lolth said and could only shake her head as she walked out of the room.
In the room, only Lolth and Tina were left.
"Master Lolth, I will not leave—at least you need to have someone by your side!"
Tina insisted.
"Alright, alright, then you can come with me to see how those mercenaries are doing now."
Lolth said this and let out a gentle sigh.
"It’s unbelievable that they even got involved with a cult; these mercenaries are truly ridiculous."
Although she said this, Lolth basically had a good idea of why the cultists were there—it should have nothing to do with those mercenaries or even Gandhi Alter.
It’s just that since Lolth had "been unconscious for a long time," she couldn’t act too sure about it.
