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

"Okay."

She felt no remorse whatsoever for using those cult members as sacrifices.

Sally, standing to the side, twitched her lips. There must have been over a hundred cultists gathered over there, right? And there were even fifth-tier beings among them. Is it really okay to talk about it so casually?

However, she glanced at Vanessa beside her and felt that there seemed to be no problem.

"Where do we go now?" Si

"Let's find a place to stay, and once Sally's magic is restored, we'll head to the ancient ruins tonight."

Elise didn't intend to inquire about anything, after all, it was a place she had visited countless times, both in the game and after her transmigration. However, this time, with many variables surrounding her, she decided to first see if any unexpected events had occurred.

If not, then the process is very simple.

……

Nighttime, in a hotel in Kuroki Town.

Elise lay quietly asleep on the bed. Nora, Elise's temporary personal maid, lay quietly on another bed, but she was not asleep, as the appointed time was approaching.

As if she had thought of something, she turned over slightly and looked at Elise beside her. She didn't know why, but Elise always seemed so confident when facing anything, as if she knew everything and could do anything.

Could she, like me, also possess memories of her past life?

Just as Nora was lost in thought, Elise's gentle voice suddenly rang out: "You actually peeped at people while they were sleeping? I never thought you were that kind of person?"

Nora paused for a moment, then realized that while she was daydreaming, her gaze had been fixed on Elise's face.

Now things are really messed up; there's no way to explain it. Even if there were an explanation, given Elise's personality, she would twist it into something else entirely.

Since that's the case, Nora simply admitted it: "What's wrong with watching something interesting in such a boring place?"

Nora didn't just blurt this out on a whim; she'd heard herself say it while browsing through those memories in the exhibition hall, and she just said it offhand.

Nora's words caused a flicker of confusion in Elise's eyes. She recalled the time when she was by Nora's side, when Nora had been teased by her so much that she started to act like a coward and say these direct things, thinking that she could tease Nora back in this way.

It really brings back memories when I hear it now.

In a daze, Elise seemed to see Nora trying to make a deal with the Valkyrie before she died.

She cried out that she was willing to give everything, but the Valkyrie refused, and in the end, she could only watch herself slowly die in despair.

The despair in Nora's eyes at that moment was both heartbreaking and exhilarating.

Elise looked at Nora with tender eyes, and once again she felt what it meant to give your heart to someone you would regret for the rest of your life.

Volume 1: Chapter 221 A Cheap Way of Fighting

Feeling Elise's strange gaze, Nora suddenly felt a strange sadness in her heart, and even her eyes began to sting.

She vaguely heard a faint sigh.

"Why are you sighing?"

"It just feels like you're killing the other agents a little too slowly," a faint, ethereal voice echoed.

For some reason, Nora felt that the sentence contained some kind of suppressed emotion, but she couldn't tell whether it was desire or anger.

Just then, Sally's figure suddenly appeared in the room.

Sally, who had just been teleported over, felt the two men's gazes on her and immediately asked timidly, "I'm not late, am I?"

“No, I just woke up too, let’s go now.” Elise said, getting out of bed.

Even as she was about to unleash a killing spree, her attire remained elegant and refined, showing no regard for ease of movement.

At this moment, she didn't look like she was going to kill, but rather like she was going to a ball.

Noela had already changed back into her usual casual clothes, and upon seeing Sally appear, Tsubasa walked over to her side.

Vanessa, on the other hand, stood to the side like a lifeless doll, only slowly walking to the group's side when Elise called to her.

Elise had already had the bugs pinpoint the location for this teleportation. Now, the bugs in Sally's hands can transmit the location to her, and she only needs to teleport to the designated location.

It was that familiar feeling of disorientation again. When the disorientation subsided, the group had already left their hotel room and arrived at a small hillside.

The moonlight is beautiful tonight; under its glow, one can vaguely see the ruins in the distance.

It was deathly silent there, as if no one existed at all.

"Why does it look like no one's here?"

“They’re all underground.” Elise said as she took out purification-type magical devices from her spatial ring and distributed them to the two of them, while Vanessa didn’t need any.

"Plague cultists are covered in viruses, so it's best to avoid touching them."

“Yes, I know that.” Nora put the necklace that Elise had given her around her neck. By simply injecting magic into it, it could create a barrier that purified the air. It was enough to protect against ordinary toxic gases, but against plague cultists, it could only offer a barely adequate protection.

In addition, there was holy water made by Rumia, which was much more effective than ordinary antidotes, and Elise also distributed it.

Nora, now gripping two short swords, asked excitedly, "Shall we begin now?"

"What are you thinking? Only a fool would try to force their way in."

This ancient ruin is a dungeon in the game, with multiple entrances and exits, and Elise knows all the locations perfectly.

She was now preparing to lead her people into the area with the weakest defenses.

The entrance is located halfway up this small hill, in a place covered with vines.

Elise easily found the entrance, then had Sally locate her position and teleported the others in together.

Nora looked at the vines that had just been cut, then at Elise who was about to walk inside. How did Elise find this secluded place?

And why do I feel such a sense of familiarity at this moment?

It's as if I've been here before.

Nora gently shook her head, dispelling the strange sense of familiarity in her mind, before quickly catching up with Elise.

This entrance, or rather, this exit, whether in the game or in reality, is not guarded by cultists, or rather, the cultists have never even discovered it.

"Come to my side, everyone." Elise instantly expanded the range of her invisible mouth, enveloping everyone around her.

This ancient ruin was already rife with plague. Although Elise couldn't take care of her companions during the battle, she could at least ensure their condition before the battle began.

If Elise could use the power of greed to worship the source of the plague, the solution would be much simpler. She could simply use the plague cultists' abilities to continuously create corresponding antibodies to help everyone resist the surrounding plague.

However, the source of the plague is in good condition. If you try to exploit him, you might die suddenly from an unknown plague infection.

Leading everyone through a narrow passageway, Elise casually activated a mechanism and officially appeared inside this ancient ruin.

You can see a faint mist permeating this ancient ruin; that mist is the plague created by the plague cultists, and this is their home ground.

Within the area shrouded in this fog, the Plague Cultists' combat abilities will be greatly enhanced.

Their enemies, on the other hand, will be greatly weakened.

If Elise didn't bear the mark of gluttony, she wouldn't have chosen to come to a place like this at this time.

Here you can already see plague cultists patrolling back and forth, but since it's late at night, it's basically only the patrol personnel moving around.

In situations like this, it's time to let Sally step in.

Sensing Elise's gaze, Sally pointed to herself: "I fought cultists, really?"

“Follow my instructions and start with that cultist over there.”

Hidden in the shadows, Elise pointed to the cultists dozing in the distance and said, "If you don't want your body to be discovered, you can teleport it elsewhere the moment you kill it."

"I... I'll give it a try."

Sally had only ever been good at stealing, and although the techniques Elise taught her seemed very useful, she had never actually used them on anyone before, so it was impossible for her not to be nervous.

The cultist class Elise was referring to was probably a fourth-order being.

Normally, she would probably choose to go around if she encountered this, but now she has to take the initiative to meet him, which makes Sally very conflicted.

She took a deep breath, then gripped her giant axe and began to gather her strength.

The moment she finished charging up, she activated spatial teleportation. Her figure suddenly appeared behind the cultist, and with a single axe strike, the cultist was torn in two, and his body and splattered blood were teleported to the ground by Sally.

Then he instantly returned to Elise's side.

The invisible maw instantly swallowed up all the blood that stained the axe.

Elise looked at Sally, whose face was pale, and quietly waited for her to recover.

Nora, who was standing to the side, was also surprised when she saw Sally's actions. She didn't expect that this thief would have such strong fighting power.

Although she was able to react to that sneak attack just now, it doesn't mean that an average fifth-tier opponent could react in time. Even if they could react, it doesn't mean they could dodge it. Even if they dodged it, the opponent could teleport away again to prepare for the next attack.

Isn't that a bit too shameless?

Volume 1: Chapter 222 Elise only saw sweat and effort

Sally lightly touched her chest, forcibly suppressing the urge to vomit.

Although the incident that just happened was instantaneous, it still shocked her as an innocent bystander. She clearly felt the body of that cult member being torn apart by the giant axe, like a thin sheet of paper, with dark green blood splattering everywhere.

She wasn't inexperienced in killing people, but never in dismembering them like this.

"Are you feeling better?" Elise's gentle voice rang in Sally's ear.

She nodded subconsciously, and then heard Elise gently say to her, "If you've recovered, let's continue. You'll get used to this symptom. In fifteen seconds, two cultists will walk past at the seven o'clock direction, preparing to sweep through and try to take them out in one go."

"Are you a devil?" She had just thought that Elise would let her rest for a while, but she didn't expect the other party to urge her to continue.

Despite her complaints, Sally was already prepared to unleash her power. The moment the two cultists appeared, she vanished again. The two cultists also dressed up as Gojo Satoru and were then teleported away by Sally to another location without leaving a trace.

This time, Nora realized that Sally was using the Barbarian Berserker legacy that she had previously acquired.

The way this ability is used is a little different from what she understands.

Shouldn't a true berserker fight head-on and shed blood?

"Don't be surprised, that's an assassin, not some berserker," Elise said calmly, holding the Silence Barrier, not worried about her voice being leaked.

"Her method of assassination is... quite unique. Did you teach her that?"

"It's me, what's the problem?"

"No."

Nora initially wanted to complain, but after thinking about it, she realized that using the berserker's power in this way seemed to be much more efficient than a head-on confrontation.

Next up is Sally's performance.

She went from being unaccustomed to it at first, to mechanically gathering her strength, teleporting, swinging her axe, teleporting again, and repeating this cycle over and over.

Watching Sally's hard work, Elise could only see sweat and effort on her.

You have to understand, if Sally didn't fight this way, she probably wouldn't even be able to beat a cultist of the same level. But look at her now, she can easily deal with anyone, even someone a level higher than her, let alone someone of the same level.

What else could this be but the result of sweat and hard work?

Logically, when patrol members noticed their companions were inexplicably decreasing in number, they would have realized something was wrong. However, Elise had complete control over the cultists' patrol routes, so most of the cultists were assassinated by Sally before they could even realize something was amiss.

Even if some escaped, Elise and Nora were not to be trifled with.

Sally breathed heavily, coughing occasionally, as the underground ruins suddenly felt much more spacious and quiet.

Looking at the blood she coughed up on her palm, Sally forced a smile and said, "I'm not going to die, am I?"

"Don't worry, you won't die for now. Just go back and rest for a while, and drink more holy water to purify yourself."

Although it's called a virus, Elise sees it more as pollution from extraordinary elements. If the infection gets too severe, the holy water produced by Rumia can solve most of the problems.

Although Sally's assassination attempt was instantaneous, as long as she left the area of ​​Elizabeth's protective aura, she would still be infected.

"That's good." Sally felt like her throat was on fire, and her head was starting to feel dizzy.

She hadn't experienced this feeling of being sick in a long time.

Just then, Elise opened a bottle of holy water and handed it to Sally.

Compared to magic potions, Lumia's holy water has almost no taste, but it's still acceptable to drink.

After drinking a bottle of holy water, Sally felt her symptoms improve somewhat, but it only provided temporary relief.

To be fully cured, one must leave this ancient ruin permeated with plague.

"Now that the patrolmen have dealt with most of the situation, where should we go next?" Nora carefully sensed the area and discovered that her mental power seemed much weaker in this ancient ruin than outside. The mist was not only poisonous but could also suppress the detection of others.

If Elise hadn't entered through a hidden entrance and known the cultists' patrol routes, it would have been a tough fight.

"let me see."
