The dim yellow firelight stretched Liana’s and Loraviel’s shadows.

This cave was also far longer than they had imagined. They walked for a long time without seeing any movement.

There were only some gloomy skeletons, both of magical beasts and humans, looking quite terrifying.

“They are following behind us,” Liana said, clearly sensing the sound of footsteps behind them.

“Yes.” Loraviel held a gem in her hand, used for recording what was about to happen so that she could receive the reward.

However, the thing this gem was about to record might be more than just a simple cave spider.

“What should we do, Your Highness? If we continue forward, we might be attacked by the cave spider and ambushed by them,” Loraviel said.

“Is there anyone else besides Cain?” Liana asked.

If it was only Cain, there was nothing to worry about. But there was no way he would have come to this place alone.

The danger level of this mission was A-rank. It was impossible for Cain to solve it by himself.

Besides, if Cain didn’t have a new backer, how could he dare to go against an elf?

“Besides Cain, there is also a low-tier executor and a mid-tier executor.” Loraviel paused, then added, “They are no match for me.”

“That’s a very reassuring answer,” ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) Liana said with a smile.

If Loraviel didn’t have absolute confidence, she would not let herself get into such a dangerous place.

“Should we wait for them now? Facing the cave spider and two executors at the same time might be a bit of a struggle,” Loraviel said.

“Just how strong are you now...” Liana wasn’t very clear on Loraviel’s true strength and hadn’t taken the initiative to ask.

“Probably...”

“It’s fine as long as you have a good idea of it yourself. It’s a layer of protection for an assassin, right?” Liana interrupted her.

“I really want to kiss you, Your Highness,” Loraviel said, staring at her.

“Don’t mess around.” Liana rolled her eyes at her.

Since Loraviel wasn’t confident in facing them all at once, Liana didn’t plan on causing more trouble for herself. She might as well wait for them.

However, after she stopped, they also stopped their footsteps. Their intention was already very obvious, they also wanted to use the power of the cave spider to deal with Liana.

“It seems we have to go and say hello to them first,” Liana said.

When they walked back, the other party also walked back.

“Greetings, how may I help you?” Loraviel’s figure suddenly appeared behind them.

“How is that possible...” One of the executors with Cain frowned. They hadn’t noticed at all when Loraviel had appeared behind them.

“How is what possible...?” Loraviel asked. “Are you following us?”

Cain also held a recording-like magic stone in his hand. Loraviel narrowed her eyes. The magic stone in his hand was a bit strange.

Rather than recording, it seemed more like it was broadcasting the current events.

“Of course not. We also accepted a mission and wanted to come and subjugate the magical beast. We didn’t know you were here. Besides, you were the one following behind us. Why are you saying we’re following you?” Cain retorted.

“No one is like you, to be deceived by such shoddy lies. You don’t even dare to admit what you’ve done. You really are a terrible person,” Liana said, walking out from inside the cave.

“What do you mean, not admit? Our target also happens to be in there,” Cain continued.

“Alright, then you can continue.” Liana turned directly and walked back towards the cave entrance.

“Is your mission complete?” Cain asked.

“None of your business.” Liana waved her hand. “Let’s go. Let’s go back. I didn’t expect to run into such an unlucky person outside.”

Loraviel came to Liana’s side and explained clearly that the gem in Cain’s hand was probably similar to the communication gem from before and could transmit some of the current events.

Sure enough, Cain’s purpose was also very simple, to test her true identity.

She didn’t know what method he planned to use. If it was just to take off her mask, that would be a bit ridiculous.

With disguise magic, Loraviel could use it for her at any time, as long as Liana wished.

Cain and the others’ faces turned a little ugly. If Liana and the others left just like that, the next opportunity to catch her without Princess Mephilia would be rare.

But right now, they didn’t have any reason to stop Liana.

Then they could only do this.

One of the executors walked towards the depths of the cave.

“Since you have already completed your mission, Miss Elf, then we must also continue to complete ours,” Cain said.

Liana didn’t think Cain would be so honest. If he were, he wouldn’t have come to find trouble with Loraviel in the first place.

“Your Highness Liana...” Before Loraviel could finish speaking, a huge explosion came from inside the cave.

The explosion caused the cave to collapse. But that wasn’t all. The target of Liana’s trip was also awakened and enraged by the violent explosion.

“So that’s how it is?” Liana sneered. They want to use the cave spider to deal with us?

Soon, black spider silk sealed the exit of the cave.

“Should we go?” Loraviel asked.

She didn’t ask what to do, but directly asked whether to go or not. This proved that she was fully capable of breaking through this spider silk.

“Let’s wait and see. Taking this opportunity to reappear before the world is also a good choice,” Liana said, not in a hurry.

“Miss Elf, isn’t this your mission? Why haven’t you solved it yet?” Cain asked quickly.

And at this time, the crystal ball in his hand had already begun to operate. It was most likely already broadcasting the current events to a certain place.

If Liana wanted to stop it, it would be very simple, but there was no need.

“What does it have to do with me? This is a mess you made.” Liana said carelessly, then retreated to the cave entrance with Loraviel. “This is a problem you caused. There are definitely more than just a few monsters in this cave. Since you were the one who caused the commotion, you need to solve it yourselves. Hurry up and deal with it. I still have to go back.”

“Even if you don’t get the reward for this mission?”

“I don’t care. I won’t entrust my back to trash like you for the sake of a small reward,” Liana said.

The corner of Cain’s mouth twitched. “Miss Elf seems to have a big opinion of me.”

“Drop the ‘seems,’ you stupid pig.”

Loraviel, standing by Liana’s side, heard Her Highness curse and felt a strange idea pop into her head.

A sharp-tongued Princess Liana is also very nice.

“You?!” Cain was about to explode with anger. “Don’t think I don’t know who you are, Liana! You’re still alive, right?”

Under the mask, Liana did not show any surprise, only saying coldly, “An incompetently raging wild boar who can only squeal. Instead of worrying about my affairs, you should consider the cave spider that has been demonified and had its consciousness seized. I hope you really have the ability to deal with it.”

Compared to Cain, Liana was more worried about the frightened cave spider.

Its spider eyes, which should have been glowing with a faint green light, were now emitting a strange red light. Its black silk was once the color of pure white.

Black liquid was constantly dripping from the silk, making a sizzling corrosive sound as it hit the ground.

“It seems to be more serious than the intel suggested.” Liana frowned. Even if it was frightened, it shouldn’t be this berserk.

“Your Highness, there seems to be some movement in the deepest part of the cave,” Loraviel said.

“What kind of movement?” 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Loraviel closed her eyes and, after waiting for a minute, said, “This cave spider seems to have just laid eggs.”

“Not good...” Liana felt a sense of foreboding. “In a moment, no matter what happens, you must destroy all the spider eggs, understand?”

“I understand,” Loraviel nodded.

Liana also activated the recording magic stone and wore it on her hand. “Those spider eggs are very likely to hatch into demons. They must all be destroyed before they are born.”

“You go find an opportunity. While the cave spider is still here, the sooner you deal with it, the better.”

“But...”

“I am very safe. I’ve made thorough preparations,” Liana said.

“Okay,” Loraviel nodded.

Her figure had already slowly dissipated, merging with the dark shadows.

Liana took a deep breath. The bracelet on her wrist had already begun to emit a fluorescent glow.

In this place, the mana recovery speed was sharply reduced. Coupled with her constitution, she couldn’t drag this on for too long, otherwise, with her pitiful mana reserves, she might be in danger.

“You’re not going to help your friends. What are you doing here?” Liana looked at Cain before her.

“I know you’re Liana. Stop pretending,” Cain said, staring at her. “Don’t think you can fool others just by wearing a mask and disguising yourself.”

“I am blessed by Mother Tree of Life and can use elf magic. If you insist on saying I’m human, then I’d quite like to be one,” Liana said, some vines beginning to wrap around her hand. “A special human like me would surely receive more preferential treatment, right?”

“Stop with the nonsense. You’re just a liar. The elf thing is just a trick you’re using to deceive people,” Cain said.

Liana was quite curious why he was so convinced that she was Liana, but...

“Right now, you don’t have time to argue about this.” Liana pointed at the spider behind Cain.
