How many families and forces were involved?

Liu dared not think any further.

She slammed her fist on the metal door, her eyes blazing with unquenchable fury: "So, you were hiding here!!!"

Chapter 123 Close Encounters of the Third Kind

The entrance to the seventh level of the underground city.

The black cat held a dagger and sliced ​​the killer ant's body piece by piece.

With Mame's help, the Black Wind weakened the monsters on the periphery, as if they were being given a buff that caused them to continuously lose health.

She could only finish off the weakened monsters one by one.

The carapace of the killer ant is normally very hard, but after being corroded by Mame-no-suke's curse, it becomes extremely fragile and can be easily pierced by a dagger.

But this raises another problem: these killer ants are almost all in a state of near-death, and near-death killer ants will call for new killer ants.

For a while...

All the killer ants that spawn on the entire floor converge on the black cat's location, as if they could never be killed off.

Originally, he was waiting for Blank and the others to discover the anomaly and come to rescue him, but as time passed, Mame no Suke's magic power gradually ran out, and no help came.

The black cat seemed to realize that it had been abandoned.

No, that's not right!

The black cat knows Dekomori very well. If it had noticed anything amiss, it would have definitely come to save me. But why didn't it come?

A new enemy has appeared? Or...?

"Someone took my place, so no one noticed anything unusual?" The black cat suddenly had this thought.

A traitor among us?

Having reached this conclusion, Black Cat became even more eager to log off and inform others. But the monsters before him were too tempting; all he had to do was offer his weapon, and he could reap the life of one.

Her position was perfectly situated in a narrow gap, which ensured that she could contact a certain number of monsters at the same time.

The horde of monsters before her seemed like a vast pool of experience points; she might be reluctant to leave before her magic was completely depleted.

Time passed second by second, and Mame-no-suke switched between killing monsters and devouring magic stones. After devouring magic stones, his magic power would always recover some.

After reaching the bottom, the black cat will reclaim Mame no Suke and possess him, then use its spiritual power to release the curse, and so on.

Two hours passed, during which adventurers passed by, but seeing so many killer ants, they left before even entering the cave.

Finally, both of their magic and spirit reached their limits.

The weapon in the black cat's hand also began to chip.

After consuming a large number of magic stones, Mame-no-suke has grown larger; his body, which was originally the size of a palm, is now the size of an arm.

"Why have you gotten so fat?" The black cat nudged the bloated-bellied Mame-no-suke with its paw.

I can't eat anymore.

The kitten rolled over and let out a burp.

The black cat looked at the killer ants still swarming towards it and said helplessly, "I'm going to slip away first. What about you?"

[This mere, weak monster is only fit to submit to Lord Meow's claws!]

Mame-no-suke looked smug. It had eaten a lot of magic stones, and now it was not only free from curses, but its physical strength had also improved a lot.

Seeing that Mame-no-suke didn't seem to be under any pressure, the black cat breathed a sigh of relief and was about to chant the incantation to log off.

Whoosh whoosh—

The swarm of killer ants suddenly erupted in chaos, followed by a barrage of golden arrows that cleared a space.

The black cat saw a person covered in a black cloak slowly approaching. With every gesture, the killer ants would turn into black ash and disappear into the air.

Behind her, a goblin wearing a little red hat, wielding a dagger, darted through the monster horde. A unicorn rabbit dressed in clothes whimpered as it used its sharp claws to clear away the killer ants.

"Who is that?"

Hidden character?

A series of question marks flashed through the black cat's mind.

As the man in black robes approached, she forgot all about logging off.

"Hello, friends from the ground, please follow me." The man in black robes left these words and led the black cat toward deeper floors.

The other person spoke in a kind tone, and their voice sounded clear and melodious, like birdsong.

The black cat glimpsed the face of the newcomer through the cloak. It was a beautiful face comparable to that of a star, but unfortunately, the figure was shrouded in black robes, making it impossible to tell whether the person was good or bad.

Sensing that the other party meant no harm, the black cat picked up Mame no Suke and followed the man in black robes away.

The group walked through a secluded alleyway and followed a secret tunnel, heading towards a deeper floor.

The man in black robes remained silent throughout the journey, as did the black cat.

It wasn't until the group passed through the Rivera and entered deeper floors that the black cat couldn't help but ask:

"Um, who are the two people behind us...?"

From the moment they started, the goblin and the unicorn rabbit had been following the two at a distance.

The man in black stopped and turned around in the lush, hurried woods.

She took off her cloak, revealing bird feathers and a pair of wings.

“You…” The black cat’s eyes widened. She recognized this monster; it was recorded in the school curriculum. It was a flying monster that was good at using its voice to bewitch adventurers—the Songbird.

“Friends on the ground, my name is Rei, and that goblin wearing Little Red Riding Hood over there is Light.”

"Chirp chirp!" the unicorn rabbit complained.

"Oh right, and Aruru too."

Lei Yi had beautiful blue feathers, and she used the tip of her wing as an arm, slowly reaching out to the black cat.

The black cat, bewildered, still reached out and touched Rey's feathers, feeling as if an alien were touching its fingers. Therefore, its chuunibyou (delusional) attitude completely subsided, and it spoke in a docile tone:

"You can just call me Black Cat. Um... thank you for saving me."

Little Red Riding Hood Wright held her head, a broad smile on her face:

"As expected, Black Cat is different."

The black cat looked at the talking monsters, whose eyes revealed intelligence, and seemed to understand something: "Are you like Mame-no-suke?"

Lei nodded: "We are compatriots."

The black cat was overjoyed and lifted Mamenosuke high in the air, saying, "Great! Mamenosuke, it seems you've found your tribe!"

The black cat, who has no friends, knows very well what it's like to be alone.

Even though he had everyone around him, they weren't actually from the same clan, so Mamenosuke probably wasn't very comfortable.

If Mamenosuke knew what Kuroneko was thinking, he would definitely shake his head and deny it.

[The dried fish and canned goods smell so good, why would I want to go back to the dungeon?]

Mame-no-suke nestled in the black cat's arms and yawned.

"Who are they compatriots? I am the great Lord of the Abyss, a descendant of the blood of Lord Behemoth. How dare these mere fodder compare themselves to me?"

The black cat flicked Mame-no-suke's head with its finger: "Be polite, speak like a human!"

Mame-no-suke looked completely bewildered. "I was just speaking human language."

So, she tentatively meowed?

"Pfft." Lei laughed at the relationship between the two. "This child is indeed different from us. She is very lucky."

The heretics' wish was to one day bask in the sunlight, and Mamenosuke achieved that ahead of schedule.

The black cat snapped out of its daze and asked, "Do you want Mame-no-suke to live with you?"

Honestly, if the other party wanted to take Beansuke, Black Cat would be a little disappointed, but wouldn't refuse.

It's like finding a wild tiger; one day you have to release it back into the forest, except...

"No, we just sensed the presence of our compatriots, so we came to check."

Rei glanced at Mame no Suke with a hint of envy and said:

"Furthermore, we have no reason to prevent a compatriot who has already fulfilled his 'tragic wish' from returning to darkness, do we?"

Having said all he needed to say, Wright extended his hand to the black cat: "Friend from the ground, would you like to come and sit in our home—'Secret Village'?"

Chapter 124 I, Mamenosuke, shall be crowned king!

At Lei's enthusiastic invitation, the black cat followed the three monsters with a bewildered look, bypassing the sea of ​​trees, crossing the mountains, going through tunnels, and diving into pools of water.

Like a one-armed swordsman searching for the Nine Yin Manual, they finally found the deep cave, the secret realm of the heretics.

During this time, Rei told the black cat a lot about the heretics.
