CHAPTER 284: CHAPTER 166: ELF VERSION AIR PURIFIER_2

Shami smirked smugly.

The Demon Lord successfully defended his secret!

After dealing with over fifty skeletons in the cave, Lureya returned to Shami with a pout, her face full of grievance.

"It’s totally cheating."

"Alright, let’s keep going. My mission today is to completely clean out the skeletons in this cave."

Shami picked an entrance to a passage and continued to walk inside.

Despite her complaints, the Elf Maiden wouldn’t waste this rare time alone together, swiftly catching up.

In the cave, where sunlight doesn’t reach, it’s hard to sense the passage of time.

Shami and Lureya didn’t know where they had reached, only that they had cleared out about five hundred skeletons along the way.

Once the skeletons knew who the black-haired youth was, they ceased their stubborn resistance and retreated to the deepest part of the cave.

Shami chased after the skeletons, continuing forward.

The Elf Maiden looked around with disgust.

The cave, already not well-ventilated, was filled with a stench of decay, which was now even more severe.

In this passage, whose destination was unknown, the stench seemed to fill every corner. Even with the Spirit Protection Array activated around them to purify the harmful substances in the air they breathed, it couldn’t stop the smell.

Shami smelled the odor too, and as it grew stronger, it indicated that they were nearing the core of the cave—the Skeleton Race’s stronghold.

"I’ve heard the skeleton leader here is a stinky skeleton, but didn’t expect it to be this bad. This foul air alone is a big challenge."

Shami muttered.

Though he’s a Demon Lord, he is still a human who needs to breathe, and now this odor was truly unbearable.

"What say we retreat?"

"No way. The skeleton leader is inside, and there are probably many more skeletons. We must deal with them to truly resolve the Skeleton Race’s power."

Shami shook his head.

The Elf Maiden pinched her nose, moving forward with disdain.

"At this point, I’m the only one who’s willing to stay by your side."

At this moment, Shami suddenly stopped, looking at the Elf Maiden thoughtfully.

"Lureya, it’s great to have you by my side."

"Of course~"

The Elf Maiden replied naturally, but the next moment she froze for three seconds, instinctively wanting to refuse Shami.

Wait, this familiar rhetoric clearly seemed like the start of an emotional confession scene!

Why so sudden? Was he dizzy from the smell?

Confessing in such a stinky environment would definitely be unforgettable for a lifetime, but this wasn’t the kind of enduring memory she wanted!

"Wait, if it’s something really important, let’s save it for the beach or somewhere like that!"

"No no no."

Shami moved closer to Lureya, looking serious.

"Don’t you think it’s really stinky here?"

"Yeah, super stinky. — Eh eh eh!"

The Elf Maiden found Shami starting to sniff around her neck, like a cat, her face tensed up.

"Indeed, the faint fragrance I smell vaguely comes from here, is this the Elf Race’s body fragrance?"

Shami opened his eyes in shock. Normally, he didn’t find the flat golden-haired girl’s body particularly fragrant, but when very close to her, he’d occasionally catch a faint, pleasant scent.

But in such a stinky environment, the flat golden-haired girl was like a wonderfully fragrant piece of jade; getting close to her skin and sniffing would reveal the natural aroma.

The Elf Maiden suddenly understood, her pointed ears turned shyly red.

"So, after smelling the stench for so long, you want to come smell me...?"

"Is it okay, Lureya?"

The Elf Maiden stood legs together, hands tense at her sides, slightly tilting her head, appearing as if ready to let him take a whiff.

"At this point, what is there that can’t be...?"

Shami approached, pulling the flat golden-haired girl in front of him.

"Lureya, which part of the Elf Race has the most intense fragrance?"

"It’s hard to answer that, kind of like asking where someone has the strongest body odor."

The Elf Maiden felt slightly awkward, thinking it strange.

"But every part of me is fragrant. Generally speaking, places like underarms might be a bit more fragrant."

Wearing an Elf Skirt with sleeves reaching only to her shoulders, the Elf Maiden’s arms were exposed to the air, causing her to tuck them, cheeks reddened.

According to Elf Race physiological records, besides underarms, the Elf Maiden’s small feet also have relatively fragrant parts, while below the abdomen is the freshest...

But such places are totally unspeakable!

"Hey hey, don’t lift my arms and sniff there! — Mm~"

"There’s even a hint of milk fragrance here, truly fascinating."

Obviously, it’s because the underarms are close to there! But the maiden isn’t a young mother, how could there be such a fragrance!

"R-really?"

"Absolutely true. Lureya, your underarm scent saved the Demon Lord. You always manage to be useful in unexpected places."

The Elf Maiden bit her lip, too shy to speak, falling into a state of being overwhelmed.

She couldn’t tell if this was a compliment or a tease.

But clearly, the two were engaging in some strange PLAY in such a place!

——

Shami was fully revitalized.

The Elf Maiden, utterly embarrassed, folded her hands away, arms tightly pressed against her sides.

"I feel like I’ve been used as a weird tool..."

"Don’t worry, Lureya. I’ve already thought of a way for you to smell your own fragrance as well. With your scent, we can surely make it to the end."

"Eh? But it’s very hard to smell your own scent."

"Normally, the scent becomes stronger with the rise in temperature. As long as your body temperature increases a little, you might smell your own scent."

Shami aimed at the Elf Maiden’s lower abdomen, magic power swirling, and began using the contract’s power.

[Magic Array First Grade Steam Heating]

As the magic transmitted through the Demon Envoy Contract to the Elf Maiden’s lower abdomen, she suddenly felt warm there. Lifting her skirt to look, a purple magic array surfaced on her smooth lower abdomen, feeling ominous.

"Wait, what’s this doing?"

"Lureya, today is the small fresh underwear day."

"Not the time for discussing that, why is the magic array glowing!"

On the lower abdomen, amidst the purple glow of the magic array, the Elf Maiden felt as though hot water was boiling inside, the vibration was intense, her legs tingling with numbness, looking at Shami in fear.

Shami crossed his arms, looking proudly at the Elf Maiden.

"This is a new function I’ve developed recently, injecting a bit of magic into your magic array, but not converting it into spiritual power, instead allowing it to flow as steam within the magic array, harmlessly raising your body temperature. Thus, even if you encounter sudden situations and want to use Water Magic outdoors in winter, you won’t feel cold after taking off your clothes!"

"Why would I do such a thing outdoors! What do you take my belly for! Instead of this, why not think of a way to resolve the root cause of why I always want to do Water Magic after using the Magic Array!"

The Elf Maiden, desperate, held her head in her hands.

She had developed a fear of the magic array on her lower abdomen. Once it lit up, there was a high likelihood she couldn’t escape secretly doing Water Magic alone!

"Lureya, do you smell the fragrance coming from yourself? This is the scent diffusion effect brought about by the increase in body temperature."

"I do smell it, but what am I, an air purifier! Quickly turn off the steam effect on my lower abdomen!"

"Don’t worry, such a small dose of magic input won’t affect your normal Water Magic cycle. Let’s swiftly deal with the skeletons!"

Seeing the cave reaching the end, Shami grabbed the Elf Maiden beside him and rushed into the cave.

Hundreds of skeletons gathered inside the cave, and in the center, a huge skeleton covered in stinky mud stood among the group.

"Lureya, stay here, don’t let the skeletons escape."

Shami whispered, then pulled out a spray, silently leaping into the skeleton crowd.

"Dangerous, with so many skeletons on the other side, even if you sneak attack..."

The Elf Maiden was worried, noticing Shami had covered himself and infiltrated the camp unnoticed, as if it was a realm with no one opposing him.
