Chapter 274 : Ember Shield
...
The light faded, and in Lonis's hands appeared a small, delicate kite-shaped shield.
Its design was very exquisite, like a large badge: the hollow triangular frame design ensured sturdiness while greatly reducing weight, so that Lonis could lift it effortlessly.
"Is this... the weapon of Bright Ember?"
"Hmph, a stupid maid is just stupid, even her weapon is so silly."
Before Lonis could even warm up to it, Elucia snatched the shield away.
"Waah, Elucia?"
"Mm, let me see what functions it has... Eh, I can't find a way to activate it."
Elucia fiddled with it like a dinner plate for a long time but couldn't find the activation method.
"Could it be that you have to tie Lonis to it to activate it?"
"How could there be such a strange activation method!"
"Mm... Senior Elucia, I think if it's a shield, it might activate when attacked?"
Seeing that Elucia really had the idea of tying up Lonis, Sethilu quickly came to the rescue.
"Oh, is that so? Then stupid maid, hold the shield."
"Eh?"
"This young lady is going to cast magic on you... Mm, let's not do this kind of thing in the temple, let's try in the corridor outside."
...
...
Why had it turned out like this?
Getting a new Rainbow Abyss weapon should clearly be a happy thing... but Lonis was standing there trembling, preparing to receive Elucia's "torture."
"Lonis, are you ready?"
"I'm... I'm ready..."
"Good, what I'm firing at you now is special magic called 'Punishment Electric Shock.' This magic has low lethality but hurts a lot when it hits. Be careful to keep your legs closed so you don't wet yourself, okay?"
"Wuu wuu..."
(Elucia is getting more and more excessive.)
In the past, this scheming girl would only secretly tease her. But now, seeing that everyone's relationships had improved, this scheming girl was actually bullying her in front of everyone.
If she really got electrocuted and wet herself, how would she face everyone!
Lonis felt somewhat nervous. Now she could only hope that the Bright Ember shield would be sturdy enough to protect her body.
...
"Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder, crackle crackle, drawing the thunder fire of five tribulations, white-stockings maid, prepare to die!"
"That's not the same incantation you said!"
...
A bolt of lightning emerged from Elucia's finger and struck directly toward Lonis's body.
The girl instinctively shrank back, her eyes unconsciously closing tight, not daring to look.
The moment her body was attacked, Lonis was in despair, because she could feel a tremendous force transmitted through the shield, and her palm also became somewhat numb.
But immediately after...
...
"Hahahaha, hahahaha! So comfortable, why is it so comfortable!"
The expected electric shock sensation didn't appear. Instead, Zhou Suling, who was watching from the side, suddenly burst into laughter and fell to her knees.
"So comfortable... why is it so comfortable, what on earth... is happening, I want to laugh so much, haha!"
"Suling?"
"Are you alright?"
Everyone quickly ran forward, and after taking care of her for quite a while, Zhou Suling gradually returned to normal.
Even so, this pink-haired girl's clothes were soaked with sweat... She looked exactly like she had just come out of a sauna.
Suling also had a blank look in her eyes as she asked fearfully:
"I'm... I'm fine... but what happened just now? I was worrying about Lonis when I suddenly felt a comfortable sensation surround me, then I started laughing..."
"Mm, I think I understand now."
Elucia sighed and stepped forward to apologize to Suling: "Sorry, Suling. I originally wanted to bully Lonis, but I didn't expect the shield to have a reflection function."
"Eh?"
"This Ember Shield has the ability to reverse attacks and can transfer them to other targets. Simply put, when an attack that causes pain is reflected by the shield, it becomes an attack that causes comfort."
"Ah, can such a thing happen?"
Elucia's explanation stunned everyone.
To prove she wasn't lying, Elucia snatched Lonis's shield and said to Sethilu:
"Princess Sethilu, cast a blessing-type damage nullification magic on me."
"Eh, should I cast it now?"
"Of course."
...
Sethilu cast blessing magic, but in just the next moment...
"Waah, Elucia!"
Lonis's cheeks suddenly turned bright red.
Because the little toys on her body had been activated by Elucia again—it was an indescribable friction sensation, as if her skin was being rubbed by countless downy hairs, simply ticklish to the extreme.
"Hah, hah... wuu wuu... ah ah!"
Lonis gasped heavily, looking at Elucia with great resentment.
But this scheming girl only said innocently:
"Lonis, I didn't activate the little toys, you know?"
"Eh?"
"The friction sensation you're feeling on your body now is just the natural friction produced when your skin touches your clothes."
"What..."
Lonis tried shaking her body and realized that Elucia wasn't lying... When she didn't move, there was only a little tickling, but with the slightest movement, the sensation of stockings clinging to her skin became unbearable.
That silky sensation of her thighs driving her hips made Lonis immediately fall to her knees.
"Wuu wuu, Elucia, what's happening?!"
"Don't you understand yet? Since the Ember Shield can convert painful attacks into comfortable massages, it can also convert damage-reducing shields into damage-amplifying curses."
"!"
"And Lonis? Your body is already sensitive, so now moving around is equivalent to being attacked by your own clothes."
"How... how can this be?"
Although extremely surprised, Lonis didn't dare to move at all... because at this moment, let alone standing up, even taking a deep breath made her feel like someone was scraping her body with feathers, making her involuntarily moan.
...
"Since we need to test the Rainbow Abyss weapon, little maid, you'll just have to suffer a bit."
"Wuu... how long will this curse effect last?"
Lonis looked at Sethilu with anticipation, but the other party blushed and said guiltily:
"About... a day?"
"Ah?"
"Because my magical power far exceeds ordinary people, the duration of my magic is generally very long..."
"Wuwa, you're bullying me!"
Sethilu's words were undoubtedly a devastating blow, making Lonis despair instantly.
Before, no matter how severely she was bullied by Elucia, the activation time of the little toys was only 2-3 hours.
But now...
it was a whole day?
Didn't this mean that throughout this day, no matter what she did—whether walking, drinking water, eating, or sleeping—she would suffer torment?
No rest time at all, even begging for mercy wouldn't bring forgiveness. She would be constantly bullied, constantly tormented by the clothes on her body.
(Although it's not a tentacle suit, it's completely more terrifying than a tentacle suit!)
...
Because she didn't want to accept such training, Lonis couldn't help but cry out:
"Wuah! Elucia is bullying me, how can you do this! It's too strange!"
But crying...
Also attacked her.
The crying Lonis only felt her cheeks tickling, as if caterpillars were crawling over them.
"Wuu wuu..."
This scared Lonis so much that she didn't even dare to cry, only kneeling pitifully beside Elucia like a soft girl.
This appearance of wanting to cry but not daring to was truly unusually cute. Even Elucia felt pity when she saw it and said:
"Hmph hmph, Lonis... seeing how cute you are, I'll provide you with a solution."
"How... how do I do it?"
"It's very simple. The underground world has no outsiders, and everyone here are cute girls."
"Eh...?"
"So, Lonis, you just need to take off the clothes on your body~~"
Walking up to Lonis, Elucia said with ill intent.
