My Stubborn Soul Card Follower-Chapter 553 - 420: Are You Interested in Becoming the Daylight Saintess?
Shen Sui had always believed in Alice’s abilities.
She always managed to surprise Shen Sui in various ways.
But, wasn’t this surprise a bit too much?
Although Alice had gifted Shen Sui with twelve-tier followers before, even now Aina has become the Elf Empress, leading one of the most formidable extraordinary races currently on the Dawn Continent.
But you have to understand, not every knight who reveres the gods values friends even more than their own life and faith, like Price’s lineage does.
Those who can become Knights of Daylight are all devoted followers of Daylight.
And someone like Laudon, a twelve-tier knight, should be among the best of them.
Did he really swear allegiance to Alice so easily? Is Alice some kind of Enchanting Demon of faith?
Shen Sui instinctively thought Alice had used some strange potion on Laudon, but after thinking carefully, there weren’t any control-type potions for extraordinary beings in his treasure box.
Alice’s Miniature Parasite Puppet could achieve such an effect to some extent, but Alice was only ninth-tier. With a gap of three tiers, the Parasite Puppet shouldn’t be effective at all.
Shen Sui racked his brains but couldn’t figure out how Alice had subdued Laudon.
However... Laudon’s title was the Knight of Daylight of Twilight, could it be related to the Twilight Council?
Shen Sui opened the Dueling Device and flipped through it.
Laudon’s allegiance pledge not only surprised Shen Sui but also Alice.
Because throughout the process, she really didn’t do anything except heal and restore mana for Laudon, and only later because the environment was too dangerous, she revealed some power, but not much.
And so, they cautiously infiltrated around the one hundred and ninetieth layer together.
By this point, the monsters’ strength had surpassed mortal imagination.
The monsters here were basically the limit that non-godly extraordinary beings could reach, with an average strength of thirteen-tier, and quite a few fourteen-tier monsters among them.
In such a high-risk high-pressure environment, even a single misstep could lead to a catastrophe.
Moreover, these monsters were not only powerful but also truly frightening because they were all exceptionally insane and unafraid of death.
If it were ordinary magical beasts, encountering extraordinary beings much stronger than themselves, they would have run away already instead of fighting to the death, but these monsters, regardless of your tier, would attack you like mad dogs as soon as they saw you.
This is also why, despite having such considerable potential for extraordinary power here, no mage dared to tame these monsters as magic pets for combat.
The only solace was the presence of some kind of power in the Thousand-Year Mine that prevented these monsters from venturing out.
In the final layers near the two-hundredth, even the Ring of Star Night blessed by the Star Night Goddess struggled to avoid being detected by the monsters. The fully invisible aura of the Ring of Star Night was shrinking considerably, forcing the two to proceed in very narrow crevices.
Crucially, some downward tunnels were covered with rocks, and the two had to break the stones in such a perilous environment, the ensuing noise naturally attracted a horde of ferocious monsters, inevitably leading to their exposure.
At times like these, they could only turn and run.
Although Alice was always ready to escape with the Dragon Scale in hand, she still helped Laudon at critical moments. After all, they had reached over one hundred ninety layers, and just a bit more would take them to the two-hundredth layer’s Mine Cave Lake, with the Giant’s Crown right before their eyes; retreating now would be too regrettable.
She had limited capability in such an environment, but she could at least create a fire to distract the monsters.
However, in such an environment, Alice clearly didn’t have time for deep and familiar thinking, so in a moment of desperation, she pulled out Vivian’s Holy Authority Staff.
Even at this step, Shen Sui still couldn’t figure out why Laudon suddenly pledged allegiance to Alice.
Of course, upon seeing the Holy Authority Staff, Laudon’s inner voice was already convinced it was the staff of the Twilight Saintess.
Perhaps because the two-hundredth layer was near, Alice finally became proactive.
She activated the Eyes of Truth granted by the Assos Holy Sword, allowing her to foresee and track the monsters’ movements, and thus the two barely managed to survive another two layers.
By the one hundred ninety-eighth layer, the hidden aura of the Ring of Star Night had become almost imperceptible, nearly sealing the two’s fate.
Alice had no choice but to activate the power of the Star Night Chosen One, recharging their Rings of Star Night.
She didn’t think much of it back then; in fact, if she were a bit selfish, she could have just recharged her own ring.
By the one hundred ninety-ninth layer, the monsters completely ignored the hidden aura of the Rings of Star Night.
Alice had to deploy her trump card, rampantly drawing the monsters’ attention with explosions, while being carried around the mine by Laudon, seeking the entrance to the next layer.
At the last moment of finding the entrance, a monster caught up. Laudon shielded Alice from a fatal blow and fell into the two-hundredth layer mine with her.
When Alice slowly awoke, in her view, Laudon was in a state of unconsciousness.
