Abyss crawling part 6: The survival game began

There was no sun down there but the shadow of the night still cast upon everything. In the vast and misty place, the light of a bonfire flickered, reflecting three figures. A terrifying creature, a disfigured person, and a beautiful young girl. It was such strange scenery while the other two sat on the opposite side, leaning toward each other, trying to stay away from the young girl.

" Hmm Hm ~ Hm~"

Liliana was cooking with a big pot while humming. The delicate smell of shrimp soup mixed well with the smell of high-class mushrooms lingering in the air caused Ilirielth's mouths to drool.

When was the last time she ate cooked food like this? She hadn't found a single thing in this place capable of maintaining the fire except for those maggots. The ingredients that

Liliana brought were not ones to be found in this place either. She got the soup into 3 little bowls and gave one to Ilirielth, and one for Iliriendil.

" Please eat it while it's still hot ~"

" …"

Ilirielth looked at the soup, no matter how nice it smelled, there was no way she could just casually eat the food this girl gave her.

" Oh my. Was my humble cooking skill not suit your taste, little princess?"

" You know?"

" Of course, I know who you're your highness. You have no idea how must it cost me to afford a royalty like you ~"

Ilirielth was dazed, she didn't know what Liliana meant by that, but the girl, no this demoness just admit she kidnaped her here.

" Don't worry, I didn't care about the little politics between humans and human-like beings, I just brought you here for my darling ~"

" What do you mean you bring me here for him?"

Tapping her finger on her chin. Liliana smiled and seemed to think of something.

" You see ~ My darling was lonely down here so I usually prepare a lot of toys to comfort him."

There was a slight twitch on Iliriendil's expression but it was too quick for Ilirielth to notice but it did not escape Liliana's eyes. She wrapped her arm around Iliriendil's neck and lean herself on him, Iliriendil tried to push her out but to no avail, his strength was too low and at the moment and there were too many factors. Iliriendil didn't want Ilirielth to get hurt, he remained silent, letting Liliana do whatever she want. But before the lips of the demoness could reach him, a blade stood out between his and her lips.

" That was an impolite act, little princess."

Liliana frowned, there was a drop of blood on her lips due to being cut.

" Don't just casually touch him like that you shameless demon!"

7 mouths on Ilirielth's body shouted, whenever she spoke the six mutated mouths spoke at the same time. Each of them had a different voice, they were all too loud and disgusting.

Those violet eyes shot at her, Ilirielth could feel murderous intent coming from them. If it was her a month ago she would have been petrified and dropped to the ground. It was a very terrifying murderous intent but it was in no way near Iliriendil's. Her emerald eyes stared back at the demoness, her breath was steady and her heart was beating soundly. There was not a hint of fear. Liliana seemed surprised by that.

" That was impressive, I'll give you a point on that, little princess."

Liliana walked away from the two, sitting on a rock, she calmly enjoyed her soup and kept on humming. Ilirielth had no idea what this demoness trying to do. She suddenly appeared out of nowhere, telling them to go camping at this place and cook for them, those were things that she had never heard of a creature of Mordox. Had it not for all the circumstances she might have thought Liliana was just a normal girl. As if the demoness could read Ilirielth's thoughts, she tilted her head to Ilirielth.

" How silly of me to almost forgot. I came here to give you a proper map."

Liliana took out a small paper that looked nothing like a map. She wrote on it only a few simple words " left, right, left, right …" and folded it into a paper plane and threw it to Iliriendil.

" This is…"

" You must have realized too, princess, there were always two paths in each area. This whole place was enormous, I fear that you'll never make it out alive without any instructions. Not that I doubted you, my love. With your ability, you would eventually crawl out of this place, it is just now you have to carry dead weight. "

Ilirielth understood that this demoness was trying to provoke her but it made her feel disheartened. It was true that she always got saved by Iliriendil. She did save him once but…

" She's not dead weight. Never have been." - Iliriendil said

Just simple words like that eased her heart. she rested her head on his arms while smirking at Liliana. She didn't expect any expression from this demoness but. In just a moment, she saw Liliana's shadow change its shape. Liliana let out a dry chuckle as she watched the fake sky. Giant shadows suddenly appeared on their head.

" Those should cause some trouble for you, my love?"

Those creatures were the ones that attacked the dragon, it was just that this time there were hundreds of them. They were out of Iliriendil's range and if they all used range attack, the situation would become very bad.

" So darling, shall we test if the 'useful' princess of yours could help you out of this situation?"

Liliana flicked her finger and the roar of beasts came from everywhere. They all had bloodshot eyes and seemed to completely lose their mind. Thousands of sharp teeth came at them from the ground and in the sky, tremendous amounts of mana went spiraling from the mouths of the corrupted dragons.

' Our game just started, please don't disappoint me, darling.'
