Let them live with that regret for the rest of their lives!

"What a pity. If I were a little stronger, I probably could have taken him down. He wouldn't reveal too much of his strength in a place like this," the memory of Iris said with some regret.

“But it doesn’t matter. According to my analysis, as long as we make it into the top eight, the probability of getting that inner armor is very high. Even if we don’t get it, I have other alternatives,” Elise said softly.

"Don't be discouraged. His talent is a bit abnormal, but with me here, defeating him is only a matter of time."

"Well, I know."

Looking at her own blank expression in her memory, Nora couldn't help but twitch her lips. Didn't she see Elise's wounds? Shouldn't she have helped treat them and offered some words of comfort?

Nora angrily threw a punch at the memory of herself, but it passed right through her body without causing any damage.

After all, everything before my eyes is just a memory.

Volume 1: Chapter 277 Am I really like a block of wood?

In the evening, when the last session came to an end, today's exchange meeting also came to a close.

Elise glanced at her opponent for tomorrow, then turned to Flora: "Should I give you a free pass to the quarterfinals?"

Hearing Iris's words, Flora shook her head repeatedly. She was lucky to have made it into the top sixteen. After all, although she had many magical artifacts, she had almost no combat experience and won battles by bombarding everyone.

This fighting style might be good for beating novices, but against skilled opponents, you'd probably be pinned down before you even get to deploy your magic defenses.

Most importantly, making it into the top 16 gives you the right to choose a prize. Although the order of selection is later, the things she likes are only chosen by magical artisans, so she's not worried about anyone competing with her.

Moreover, the sooner the competition ends, the sooner I'll have time to research how to access the forbidden library.

The thought of the magical energy storage research waiting for her in the forbidden library filled Flora with excitement.

"It wouldn't be good to just abstain tomorrow, so let's just have a symbolic fireworks display. We need to make sure that the ticket buyers get their money's worth."

"Ok"

Nothing else happened. After Elise yawned, she slowly stood up and said to Nora beside her, "Let's go, why are you still standing there in a daze?"

"Oh."

Nora responded blankly, then got up and followed Elise.

Seeing Nora's somewhat absent-minded expression, Elise narrowed her eyes and moved closer to her: "Why do you seem a little off?"

"Yes, yes?"

“You have terrible control over your expressions; you practically wear my worries on your sleeve.” Elise poked Nora’s cheek and said, “Tell me what’s bothering you; maybe it’ll cheer me up.”

Nora hesitated for a moment before asking in a low voice, "Do I usually act like a block of wood?"

Even Elise was surprised that Nora would ask such a question. She was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.

Her clear, melodious laughter, coupled with her radiant smile, instantly attracted the attention of many.

Few can resist Elise's smile, not even girls.

Iris, oblivious to the stares of those around her, smiled and said to Nora, "So you finally noticed? Otherwise, why would I keep calling you 'blockhead'?"

"I..." Nora wanted to defend herself, but recalling her own actions in her memory, she felt a little embarrassed to speak.

Seeing Nora's slight embarrassment, Elise took her hand and said, "Okay, even though you're usually so reserved, and I always call you a blockhead, being a blockhead is still kind of cute."

Nora never expected that she would be praised for being cute one day. The last time she heard such a compliment was many years ago.

"Still hesitating? How about I compliment you some more?"

"No, please stop praising me." Nora rarely showed a hint of shyness, turning her head away from Elise, which looked rather cute.

After all, she's usually a very outgoing person, but suddenly she's shy. Besides "cute," Elise can't find any other suitable adjective to describe it.

After returning to the manor, Nora approached Elise, saying she wanted to train her.

Although Nora had always been as proactive as before, Elise felt that this time Nora seemed to be more motivated than usual.

She wondered if Brooke's opponent today was strong enough to have shown any extraordinary abilities. Why did Nora seem to have been provoked?

However, since she was so motivated, Elise certainly wouldn't refuse.

Just to be on the safe side, she even had Nora borrow the little maid's shadow scepter and Elise's clone.

The ability of temporary spiritual transformation into insects is something Nora can also use. All she needs to do is let her own clone enter her body. Elise can even project her consciousness onto the clone and then enter Nora's body. In that case, Nora wouldn't even need to lift a finger; Elise could use Nora's body to take down Brook.

Nora glanced at Elise's clone and said, "There's no way this could get in, right?"

"Don't worry about the size, just cut your wrist, or do you want my clone to enter your body through another place?"

Nora only imagined it briefly before decisively slitting her wrist. Then she saw Elise's clone transform into slender worms that surged into her body through the wound.

Meanwhile, Elise took the opportunity to sit down to the side and project her mind onto the clone.

After Elise's clone entered Nora's body, Elise also took control of Nora's body through the clone.

Nora knew perfectly well that Elise was controlling her body, so she did not resist.

Feeling the power contained within Nora's body, Elise moved her body slightly, then drew the longsword transformed from the God-Slaying Weapon and unleashed a chilling sword aura.

Even Elise had to admit that Nora's body was incredibly strong, even surpassing her own physical abilities by a great deal.

Keep in mind that her physical attributes were enhanced through a sacrifice; it's no wonder she has the physical attributes of a protagonist.

She once enjoyed the treatment of a protagonist for a period of time, but was soon caught by the original owner of the body and locked in the basement.

That was a painful memory.

It's unclear what painful memory she recalled, but Elise even trembled involuntarily.

"While I can still control your body while you're still in insect form, I'll teach you a few sword techniques. I don't know if you'll be able to learn them."

"Can we still teach this way?" Nora asked, somewhat surprised.

"I don't know either, let's give it a try."

At this moment, Nora seemed to be talking to herself, which gave her an indescribable eeriness.

However, the maid and Elena, who were watching from the sidelines, remained very calm. The maid was even a little excited, thinking about how her mistress could enter her body and whether she could ask her mistress later if she could teach her anything in this way.

Perhaps she was having strange delusions, because the little maid's smile also became strange.

Because the insect transformation couldn't last too long, Elise used the time to conceal several sword techniques for Nora's body. These were extremely powerful sword techniques that could only be obtained in the later stages of the game.

Although it was Elise using her own body, Nora could feel the power flowing and the muscles being used.

She now understands what it means to empathize.

Volume 1: Chapter 278 - Please Witness!

Although Nora was very excited while studying, the moment Elise's clone left her body, a feeling of weakness instantly made her expression collapse.

The feeling was like having my life force absorbed by Elise; I felt weak all over and didn't want to move.

She even suspected that Elise might have taken some of her vital essence with her when she entered her body.

"After the insect transformation is complete, you will be weak for a while. With your constitution, a little rest will be enough." (Four + ■ˇ【＿)

"Oh."

Nora nodded. Although she was weak, she still managed to grasp the remaining sensations in her body and began practicing the sword techniques that Elise had taught her.

Seeing Nora working so hard, Elise couldn't help but smile. But at that moment, the little maid suddenly walked up to Elise and gently tugged at her sleeve: "Miss, I want to learn too."

Feeling the little maid's expectant gaze, Elise reached out and pinched the little maid's cheek: "I don't think you want to learn anything."

Having her thoughts read, the little maid blushed slightly, but this time she was very bold and continued to look intently at her mistress.

Just like the young lady had told her before, sometimes she could be a little bolder.

"Okay, I'll teach you some techniques."

"Thank you, Miss. I love you the most, Miss~" The little maid happily cut open her wrist, then watched with excitement as her mistress's clone entered her body through the wound.

The feeling of being filled by the young lady captivated the maid.

Elise examined the little maid's body for a moment, then began to instruct her.

Elena, standing to the side, twitched the corners of her mouth. Although Elise was indeed teaching them something, the way she was teaching seemed increasingly strange to her.

Well, Elise is a cultist, so it's not surprising that she might use some strange teaching methods.

The maid loved the feeling of being filled by her mistress, but this feeling couldn't last long; ten minutes or so was her limit.

As Elise's clone flowed from the wound, the little maid also experienced the same weakness as Nora.

However, she didn't care at all; her lovely face still radiated undisguised excitement, to the point that she looked somewhat sickly.

Before reverting to her original form, Elise looked at Elena and said, "Why don't you give it a try too?"

"I won't need to say anything for now," Elena waved her hands repeatedly, her face full of disdain.

If she hadn't shown a look of disgust, Elise wouldn't have said anything, but seeing her look of disgust made Elise's expression rather intriguing.

She slowly moved closer to Elena and said in a gentle, sweet voice, "Really, why don't you give it a try? I also know some dragon language magic."

"you sure?"

"Of course, why would I need to lie to you?"

After thinking it over carefully, Elena felt that Elise really didn't have any reason to deceive herself.

After acquiring dragon language magic, she has never been very smooth in controlling it. If Elise can help her solve this problem, it will save her a lot of time figuring things out.

Seeing that Elena was already interested, Elise grabbed her hand and bit it.

Feeling the pain in her wrist, Elena had reason to suspect that Elise was doing it on purpose.

However, she did not resist, allowing Elise's clone to enter her body, and then relinquished control of her body.

Just then, Elena heard herself whispering in Elise's voice: "I've successfully taken control of your body. It's time to do something interesting with it?"

"Hey, hey, hey, I've only temporarily relinquished control of my body, it doesn't mean I can't take it back, okay?" Elena said.

"I was just joking, why are you so nervous?"

Elena sneered inwardly. If she really couldn't get her body back, Elise might actually use it to do some strange things.

After teasing Elena briefly, Iris reached out and activated the power of the dragon crystal in her heart.

A cold blue light flashed in her hand, transforming into a ferocious dragon claw.

With a mere wave of her hand, Elise left several furrows in the ground, and a chill permeated the surrounding air.

Then the icy blue dragon claw transformed into a giant dragon head, its ferocious maw opening wide, spewing out icy blue dragon breath that instantly froze everything in front of it.

At this moment, Elise really wanted to shout "Witness!", but unfortunately, in this world, no one could understand why she wanted to say such a line.

Feeling Elise's actions, Elena was a little stunned. This wasn't dragon language magic. She didn't even know that the power of dragons could be used in this way.

Elise then demonstrated the dragon's wings and tail, and even showed how she could manipulate the power of the dragon crystal to cover her body with dragon scales.

This instantly boosted Elena's defensive capabilities by more than one level.

After demonstrating all of this, Elise immediately broke free from her fused state with Elena, then looked at her with a smile and said, "How was it? Didn't I disappoint you?"

"Yes, that's right. These are abilities I haven't mastered yet." Elena nodded very honestly.

"Since I've done you a huge favor, shouldn't you thank me?"

Thirty days of work for nothing.

To prevent Elise from making even more outrageous demands, Elena very directly and decisively sold herself for another thirty days.

When the amount of unpaid work owed reaches a certain number of days, the number of days no longer matters.

“Alright, let’s do it your way.” Elise didn’t dwell on why the other party was so generous and direct.

After all, it's quite obvious that Elena isn't planning on leaving; otherwise, she wouldn't have added thirty days at once.

Elise originally wanted the three of them to rest, but seeing how excited they were, she gave up on the idea and turned back to the manor.

Just as she returned to the manor, Rumia came over and whispered to Iris, "Master, may I try it too?"

"Sure, but I'm tired right now, let's talk about it next time."

"Um, I just heard Master say that even without creating wounds, Master can enter my body in other ways. I'm quite afraid of pain. Could Master try that method next time?" Rumia couldn't control her perverted desires and blurted out what was on her mind.

With a smile, Elise reached out and planted a sensory shielding spell on the other person, which would last for a week.

"No, no!" Rumia screamed as she realized that some of her senses had been blocked.

The following day, the duel between Elise and Flora was accompanied by a spectacular fireworks display, and Elise successfully advanced to the quarterfinals.
