Chapter 298: Is this what “security” feels like? (Please subscribe!)

Inside the warehouse, just as Izay had judged.

The baby spirit pearl in the bag had a range-identifying effect.

When it was thrown far away and left Ais’ side, the emerald green light immediately began to gradually weaken.

Before long, that light had vanished completely.

“Are you alright? Ais.”

“Mmm… I feel so uncomfortable…”

Ais buried her head into Izay’s chest, muttering her reply in a clearly weak tone.

Frowning slightly, Izay placed his hand on the young girl’s forehead.

“—『Star Blessing · Purification』…”

Pure white holy light visited this space.

Diamond-shaped magic arrays quickly intertwined and outlined, then exerted their powerful effects.

Even the strange “aftereffects” caused by the fairy bloodline, be it bloodline resonance or whatever else, were considered by Izay as a form of “negative state.”

That ‘Purification’ would drive it all out completely.

Her golden eyes fluttering, the girl who seemed to be gasping for breath gradually calmed down.

After expending some mana and noticing Ais had recovered from her weakened state, Izay retracted the magic.

“How do you feel now?”

“…Yeah, that feeling is gone.”

Her voice clearly restored with energy, Ais slowly regained control of her body, her cheeks slightly flushed as she propped herself up with her hands, wanting to get out of Izay’s embrace.

But the way her hands also pressed against him only made the situation seem more intimate.

“That thing… really seems dangerous. Are you sure it’s fine?”

Lulune cautiously stepped forward behind Izay, carefully picking up the bag while keeping a distance from Ais.

“You can remove the word ‘seems’.” Izay released the girl according to her wish, casually responding to Lulune’s words.

To be honest, if the situation were different, he wouldn’t mind holding Ais forever.

But right now… the low-pitched whistling sound echoing in his ears, along with the faint roar-like bellow, explained the inappropriate timing.

“Lulune, you keep that thing for now. Let’s go back to the plaza.”

“Eh—! Do I have to hold it? And we’re going back to the plaza? If I go back, I’ll definitely be targeted!”

“If that’s the case, you can stay here alone with that thing and wait for the culprit to find you slowly.”

After speaking, Izay lightly spread his palm, and not too glaring white light condensed into the shape of a spear piercing through his right hand.

With the weapon prepared, it looked like there was no room for negotiation.

“Izay, you devil!!!”

Understanding the harsh reality in a few sentences, Lulune let out a pitiful cry to the heavens.

There was absolutely no choice.

Either return to the dangerous place under the protection of two Level 5s.

Or stay here alone and see how you play hide-and-seek with the mastermind behind all this.

Whichever one it was, both were extremely tormenting difficult options. She didn’t want to choose either—!

She was almost about to burst into tears.

Fortunately, Lulune’s intelligence hadn’t gone offline yet.

“I’ll follow you back to the plaza then!”

Though it carried a sense of self-abandonment, she still chose the relatively safer former option.

After all, she had personally witnessed Izay’s combat strength.

And that was when he was at Level 3. Now he’s already Level 5, with a difference of two levels between them. He must have become even more monstrous. Anyway, if something happens, just run behind him!

Ais also sensed that something might have happened outside, agreeing without hesitation with Izay’s decision.

“BOOM————”

As Izay and the others stepped out of the warehouse area and quickly left the dark alley, a sound of something collapsing came from afar.

The shouts of adventurers reached the trio’s ears, growing louder.

“Rivira Town has been invaded by monsters! Can this be true!?”

Running past an open crystal platform, Lulune was shocked by the smoke rising from various parts of the town.

And those never-before-seen green man-eating flower monsters made her spine chill.

However, before she could continue staring at this scene in astonishment…

“ROOOOAAAARRRRRRR!!!!”

Accompanied by a furious roar from the three of them, a man-eating flower monster appeared, furiously digging through the rock slope with the intensity of a collapsing stone flow.

Seeing the long body blocking its path, Izay spun his spear but retreated instead of advancing.

He aimed the spear tip precisely at the center of the man-eating flower—the location of the magic stone.

In the next moment, it was as if the spear tip was willingly swallowed by the flower, plunging into its corolla.

“—!”

A sharp impact erupted.

The sound of something breaking could be heard.

The massive petals at the top didn’t even have time to tightly close around the prey before its body exploded.

The magic stone of the man-eating flower was located in the center of its corolla. To launch an attack, aside from using its snake-like large body, it could only rely on biting.

This mode of attack was undoubtedly a double-edged sword.

It had a chance to swallow enemies and render them powerless, but it also exposed its own weakness.

Not to mention low-level adventurers who were inferior in raw power. For someone like Izay, such an attack was practically suicidal behavior.

The attacking monster was shattered in an instant.

But it wasn’t over yet.

Continuous vibrations kept heading towards them.

The number of man-eating flower monsters currently attacking Rivira Town was terrifyingly high.

Izay and Ais were in a corner of the northern part of Rivira Town, still some distance away from the central Crystal Plaza.

Various buildings originally constructed here had been destroyed into disarray, all due to the work of these man-eating flowers.

They seemed to have invaded en masse from the outskirts of the town and were gradually infiltrating towards the center.

And now, because the adventurers had gathered at the plaza, there were only Izay, Ais, and Lulune in this area.

The surrounding man-eating flower monsters swarmed towards them like wolves smelling blood, wriggling their snake-like bodies from all sides.

Facing the attacking monsters, Ais pulled out her sword with a fierce aura, not giving them any chance for a close-range attack, dismantling them beforehand in the most brutal way possible to stop their advance.

She and Izay maintained a silent understanding, keeping an appropriate distance from Lulune.

Together, they stopped and eliminated every attacking monster in front of them, efficiently solving the encirclement of the man-eating flowers and breaking through.

“Just… just two people suppressing this number of monsters, isn’t that ridiculous…”

Lulune curled her tail, clutching the critical bag as she followed Izay and Ais across the battlefield.

Those man-eating flower monsters seemed terrifying enough to her individually, possibly able to beat several adventurers like her.

Yet in front of Izay and Ais, the entire swarm was completely suppressed.

Unbelievable.

Is this what the top adventurers of a great Familial Group are like? Is this what “security” feels like?
