Chapter 60 The Overbearing Flame Demon Falls in Love with Me
"Teacher, so many people are watching, please don't do this," came Elune's shy, natural voice.
At this moment, Elune's eyes were more moist, and her expression carried a hint of pleading.
Lynn looked up.
Ok.
There were indeed a lot of people.
Everyone's eyes were on him at that moment.
The catgirl priestesses all wore expressions of slight confusion.
Vera, however, gritted her teeth, her gaze sweeping between Lynn, Elune, and Lya before she sneered, "Bad guy! Stinky guy! You troublemaker!"
Leah didn't notice; she rarely goes out and was immediately captivated by the scenery of the Great Rift Valley, so she didn't pay attention to this side.
The elves all looked away, with expressions that said, "I didn't see it, I didn't know."
"Cough cough cough, let's continue."
"All actions must be carried out under my command, especially the response measures regarding the abyss contamination, which must be strictly implemented."
Lynn adopted a somewhat savior-seeker demeanor and spoke with a touch of nonchalance.
"Yes!" The elves and cats responded in unison upon hearing Lynn's instruction.
The group entered the spiral staircase in a grand procession, heading deeper into the earth.
The interior of the dungeon was extremely dimly lit, with only the pulsating purplish-black patterns on the walls providing a faint and unsettling illumination.
An indescribable, eerie atmosphere permeated the air.
"Vera, lead the druids to set up the lighting, and the priests to prepare to purify the pollution."
"Yes," Vera replied.
They started spreading glowing mushroom spores in the dungeon with the druid.
And it unleashed a growth spell.
Before long, the dungeon began to glow with a beautiful light.
As darkness was dispelled by the fireflies.
The eerie atmosphere of the entire underground city has lessened somewhat.
As Lynn requested, all priests and druids cast basic Nature's Shield and Mind Protection spells on themselves and nearby allies.
The exploration of the first four floors proceeded smoothly, almost uneventfully, thanks to Lynn's "human guide."
The first level is the [Muddy Cave], where [Filthy Mud Monsters] of rudimentary strength, composed of mud and broken bones, roam.
They move slowly and have a limited attack method, only able to pounce and spew small amounts of filthy mud.
After cleaning.
Only a few dim [shattered abyssal magic stones] and the occasional [filthy bone fragments] material remained.
However, after purification, it becomes a pretty good fertilizer.
The second level, Black Rock Passage, and the third level, Giant Stone Corridor, still mainly contain beginner-level monsters. However, the Black Rock monsters here have a chance to drop various ores, while the Giant Stone Corridor drops various stones.
Upon reaching the fourth floor, the "Scorching Lobby," the ambient temperature noticeably increased, and the walls faintly glowed red.
Monsters have begun to appear, including mid-level [Small Magma Elementals] and [Scorching Crawlers].
They can shoot large fireballs and leave scorching trails, posing a certain threat to professionals below the intermediate level.
In addition to Abyssal Magic Stones, these monsters also have a chance to drop Broken Fire Elemental Crystals.
To prevent pollution.
Lynn instructed the priests and druids to join forces and cast a mass purification spell.
Under this purification spell, some who had slipped through the net were illuminated.
His eyes, which had been filled with madness, instantly became clear.
"My Lord Prophet, we have not yet found the entrance to the fifth level," Fangya reported to Lynn.
"It's alright," Lynn waved her hand.
Lynn wandered through the underground city, stopping occasionally, then pointed to an inconspicuous spot on the ground and slowly said to Leah, "Leah, use Mud Swamp here!"
"Okay, brother!" Leah began casting a spell on the ground.
"The ground softened and sank."
Then, countless vines danced behind Lynn.
Then, under Lynn's command, they plunged into the soft ground.
Soon, a hole began to form.
Lynn manipulated the vines, slowly weaving a downward vine staircase.
At the end of the stairs was a large, hot hall, followed by a large door made of stone.
Under Lynn's command.
Everyone began to descend in an orderly fashion.
[Hot Lobby]
The BOSS's hiding place is behind the door.
The main monster here is the Lesser Fire Demon, which can not only shoot fireballs, but also absorb energy to split itself.
Lynn casually cleared away the small fire demons in the scorching hall and opened the rocky gate.
The door was lighter than he had imagined, and with a jarring creak, it slowly opened inward.
The scene behind the door stunned everyone.
A wave of scorching heat hit us.
Behind the door was a huge space, like a lava cave.
The ground was a dark red, rugged rock formation resembling cooled lava, with hot magma flowing through many crevices, illuminating the entire space.
In the center of the cave is a pool of magma that is constantly bubbling and emitting terrifyingly high temperatures.
However, the expected ferocious roaring fire demon did not appear.
All eyes turned to a rather rugged throne beside the lava pool.
There, sitting...something.
It roughly resembles a Balrog—curved demon horns on its head, rough, dark red skin, and a tail with spiky ends.
but…
It's too round.
His bulging belly almost reached his knees, and his chubby cheeks made his originally fierce features look somewhat kind (relatively speaking).
It wasn't wearing armor, but rather a silk nightgown.
At this moment, the fat fire demon was facing away from the door, with its legs crossed (if you can even call them legs).
It held a piece of roasted, unidentified animal meat in one paw, and a book bound in rough leather in the other.
The book cover bears the words "The Overbearing Flame Demon Falls in Love with Me: Where Can the Delicate Succubus Escape?" written in a distorted abyssal language.
It was so engrossed in reading that the tip of its plump tail swayed gently with the rhythm of its reading, and it even let out a low, silly chuckle from time to time, completely unaware that the door behind it had opened and a large group of people had poured in.
Lynn: "..."
Elune: "..."
Everyone: "..."
Doesn't this art style seem a bit off?
Where is the supposedly ruthless and cruel Abyss Lord who guards the rift in the abyss?
What on earth is this chubby ball engrossed in romance novels?!
After a brief silence, one of the catgirls couldn't help but burst out laughing, then quickly covered her mouth.
This soft laugh finally startled the fat Flame Demon, who was engrossed in reading.
Its massive body stiffened abruptly, and its tail instantly straightened.
Then, very slowly, with a startled, caught-in-the-wisp feeling, it turned its equally round head.
When it saw the large, dark crowd at the entrance, and especially when it sensed Elune's undisguised imperial-level pressure and countless powerful auras far surpassing its own...
The fat fire demon's lava-like orange-red eyes widened instantly!
The half-eaten piece of roasted meat fell to the ground with a "thud".
The book "The Overbearing Flame Demon Falls in Love with Me" in its paws snapped shut and was subconsciously hidden behind its back.
"You, you...who are you? What are you doing here?" Its voice wasn't as hoarse and violent as a typical fire demon; instead, it was somewhat...muffled, carrying obvious panic.
Lynn's lips twitched as he looked at the Fiery Demon, whose style was so different from the others.
The Balrog Lord I know isn't like this.
It shouldn't be tall, imposing, or ferocious and terrifying.
The opening line is "Burn, mortals!", followed by an area-of-effect (AOE) attack that sends fire raining down across the entire arena.
This fat guy.
They are not exactly the same, but rather completely unrelated.
Hearing the fat man's question, Lynn almost laughed.
"What else could I do? I've brought you here to join the glorious purification!"
"Purify?! You can't purify me! I don't want to die!?" Hearing that it was going to be dealt with and purified, the fat fire demon panicked. It subconsciously shrank back and tried to move towards the small crack.
"What are you thinking? Coming and going as you please? Do you think this is a vacation?" Lynn's eyes glowed red, and a pale green natural light began to appear in his hand.
The fat Flame Demon cried, sobbing uncontrollably: "I really came here on vacation! My grandfather sent me here on vacation!!"
"My grandpa said the energy here is mild, and there are lots of sparkling stones to collect, perfect for a useless, homebody like me. I'm just here to read stories!"
After saying that, it pointed to the piles of fire elemental crystals next to it, "Look, I've collected so many! And there are more on that shelf over there!"
"I've been saving all of these things; I haven't used a single one of them!"
The crowd looked in the direction it pointed, and there was indeed a lot of fire element crystals piled up there, and even some high-grade fire element crystals.
And scattered in the corner were a dozen or so leather books, their titles vaguely discernible: "The Succubus's Personal Flame Demon Master," "Reborn Flame Demon: I Became a Chef in the Abyss," "Many Children, Many Blessings: I'm Having a Blissful Time as a Flame Demon," and "As a Weak Flame Demon, I'm Caught in a Fierce Battlefield of Beautiful Demon Queens"...
Silence fell again, and an absurd sense of comedy filled the air.
Lynn's lips twitched.
Well, this guy not only came here for vacation.
He's a hoarder, keeping all the dungeon's loot in his own backyard.
He also loves reading vernacular novels.
This Flame Demon is quite an oddball.
However, Lynn shook his head and said seriously.
"I don't care if you're here on vacation or what."
"The very existence of the dungeon is polluting this land, producing monsters that threaten living beings. We must purify it and close this rift."
"As for you..."
His gaze swept over the fat Flame Demon.
The fat fire demon shuddered and suddenly, with an agility completely disproportionate to its size, slid off the throne and knelt down, its two fat paws clasped together, its face covered in snot and tears.
"Brothers and sisters! Please! Please don't kill me!"
