This is something I've never experienced before!
"Our time is precious. Letting you work things out on your own little by little would take too much time."
"Remember, this is not the right way, it's just a temporary emergency measure."
Eugene lectured earnestly, which earned him fervent stares from Wright and the other heretics.
His magic is so powerful that he can even do something like this!
The monsters became increasingly convinced that Eugene was the chosen one!
Even if he wasn't a god descended to earth, he was definitely a being ordained by fate to guide them toward the light!
While secretly enjoying the gazes of these fanatics, Eugene outwardly showed great impatience as he told Wright to return to his place.
He walked to the center of the open space, summoned a whole room full of equipment, and began to carefully categorize and distribute it.
During this process, Rey naturally volunteered to step forward and help.
As one of the former leaders, her understanding of the heretics' individual habits greatly helped Eugene.
After a long period of busy work, Eugene distributed the last giant axe and shield to the orcs in the group.
The elite squad of fifteen heretics before us has officially taken shape!
They were clad in shimmering armor, as if they were divine beasts from mythology.
The weapons, both long and short, were sharp and gleaming, and the armor was impenetrable.
With these top-notch equipment alone, the heretics are enough to run rampant in the middle ranks!
It's safe to say that, apart from the regular Amphisbina, they have no rivals left!
Because every weapon made by Chun is extraordinary, their true counterpart should be in environments below level forty!
Even level 5 powerhouses like Rey had never reached that place.
After all, they are not like the kin on the ground, who have ample reserves of manpower.
Every step requires caution and prudence, taken to protect the family. This is one of the reasons why their strength grows slowly.
However, I believe this situation will soon be reversed.
Because Eugene already had a corresponding plan!
In order to obtain legitimate rights, one must gain support.
Eugene has already seized control of the three major powers: Ishtar, Somo, and Eldorado.
In addition, the guild represented by Uranus tacitly approved of the actions of the heretics.
Just one more move and we'll be able to make the Black Beast Legion's name known!
"Don't you need it?"
Letting the monsters, now equipped with new gear, run wild for the time being, Eugene looked at Rey beside him, who was smiling, and she gently shook her head.
"Those pieces of equipment were too heavy for me."
She is a light and free songbird, unaccustomed to bearing heavy armor.
Moreover... she didn't have hands to hold a weapon.
Eugene noticed Rey's sadness. Although he wanted to complain, since the little dragon over there only had hooves, he held back and didn't say anything.
Eugene has always been very generous to beautiful women, especially such gentle and charming ones.
He kept Rey's needs in mind.
Lightweight and highly defensive.
Let's make a camisole out of black leather!
Although this thing is very thick and heavy, it is definitely much lighter than metal.
Moreover, someone as powerful as Rey wouldn't care too much about such a small amount of weight.
"By the way, I have a question."
Rey suddenly turned her head.
"Why do you know how to use magic?"
Eugene blinked his bull-like eyes and pretended to be confused:
"I don't know, I've been using it ever since I woke up."
"I don't know much about my kind, but looking at you, it seems that very few of you possess this power."
Rey nodded: "Yes, you really are special."
"Even among the magic I've ever seen, the kind you use is unique."
Eugene looked at his palm, and a black flame emerged from it.
He unfolded it before Rey, but the aura of magic was no longer so sinister; instead, it was as fantastical and peaceful as a dream.
"This can actually be very beautiful too."
Rey remarked that the sinister and eerie aura that Eugene had when he used it before was almost completely different from what it had now.
Eugene looked at her and spoke with similar feelings.
"Yes, in fact, everything has its own beauty."
"We don't need to be overly fixated on ourselves."
His words struck a chord with Rey.
Miss Songbird's eyes lit up, and her heart seemed to beat a little faster.
Looking at Niu Niu, who had fallen silent, she felt even more admiration for this seemingly imposing but actually sensitive fellow.
At the same time, that appreciation contains an even richer, more alluring feeling.
Shouldn't we be more self-centered...?
Looking at her own wings, Rey chuckled silently.
"Eugene, Eugene! I want one too!"
Just then, Mary waved and laughed in their direction.
Eugene naturally stood up and strode towards the mermaid princess.
This fierce bull dotes on Mary, the team's darling who can't be part of the fighting force, a fact that everyone has noticed to some extent.
Rey watched as Eugene, who had transformed into a water buffalo, frolicked and played on the water with Mary, and couldn't help but feel confused.
She has always been self-conscious about her body.
Neither a monster nor a human, it is closer to a beast than the demi-humans on the ground, and closer to a human than its companions.
So, which side do you truly belong to?
This is the time.
"Rei! Rei! Help me!"
Mary's surprised and laughing voice woke Miss Songbird up.
She watched in astonishment as Eugene tossed Mary high into the air again and again in the water.
With Eugene's effort, Mary took off at a height almost reaching the top of the cave.
The heretics around them were captivated, but no one dared to disturb them.
Upon hearing Mary's cry for help, Rey immediately rallied and leaped to her feet.
She traced a graceful arc as she sped toward Mary's falling figure, ultimately bringing her safely to the surface of the water.
"Thank you, Rey!"
Mary was panting heavily, but she didn't seem to be in shock.
The little girl winked playfully at the cow next to her, clearly having planned it all along.
This little action did not escape Rey's notice, but she only watched as Mary yelled and pounced on the cow, splashing water everywhere.
In any case, self-worth is the most important thing.
Was this what Eugene wanted to convey to her?
Honestly, all this roundabout stuff...
Miss Songbird looked at the water buffalo that seemed completely oblivious to its surroundings and burst into laughter.
She stretched out her body and stood on the high cliff, suddenly feeling a sense of clarity in her heart.
Immediately, a brand new, incredibly long and beautiful song rang out in the noisy cave.
That's a new song; it comes from the ground up.
As soon as the first note began to play, all the noisy monsters stopped moving.
Everyone sat down on the spot, facing that elegant figure standing alone high up.
Here, there is the singer of the labyrinth, and her loyal audience.
That's enough.
210 can't read? Like Reijin, she possesses a wild beauty.
Happy times are always short-lived.
As Rey finished singing, it was time for Eugene and the others to set off.
They were to take their new leader to the stronghold of the heretics.
Although Mary was quite reluctant to leave, she obediently said she would wait for everyone's return.
Eugene prepared many books for her and placed Flying Thunder God Talismans inside, which could be activated by focusing one's mind.
Finally, he gave a Den Den Mushi to Mary.
Mary was overjoyed after being shown how to use it.
"Wow!" She held the little snail in her hands, its tail splashing water everywhere.
