Chapter 322 : The Villains' Cheers
"So... so amazing..."
Watching the battle outside the window, Zhou Mixue was stunned.
She had originally thought that with both Lonis and Elucia becoming little dummies, the battle would be incredibly difficult, and they might even be schemed against and captured by enemies.
But now...
The battle seemed to have become simpler.
"Wahh, Elucia and Lonis are amazing!"
Amid Suling's praise, everyone returned triumphantly.
"Hmph, of course."
"Woof woof woof, meow meow meow~~"
Having won the battle, the little fox proudly raised her head, her tail almost reaching the sky.
Unharmed and composed in the face of danger, the girls' performance this time could be described as a complete victory.
Seeing this, Zhou Mixue also ran forward and earnestly congratulated them: "You've all worked hard... but is everything alright?"
"Alright?"
"Yes, for example... does Elucia feel anything abnormal about herself, compared to usual..."
Zhou Mixue's intention was to have Elucia recall the reality of being hypnotized.
But the result was...
"Yes, there's definitely something off. I feel much smarter than usual~~"
"Eh...?"
"Little fox thinks so too, right?"
"Woof woof meow! (Nodding ears in agreement)"
"I see. In that case, let's hold a victory celebration tonight."
"Victory celebration..."
"Yes, since we defeated the enemies? Everyone prepare some beer and cola, let's have a fun party~~~"

......
"Hah..."
Gazing at the distant sky, Hofa sighed deeply.
During today's battle, he had also been secretly observing the entire situation, trying to find Elucia's weaknesses.
But what surprised him was...
Elucia had no weaknesses at all!
Though she seemed casual and full of openings, every time Hofa wanted to strike, he would break out in cold sweat.
Simple and perfect, Elucia's fighting style was very straightforward, without a single unnecessary disguise.
To reach such a realm, Elucia might have already reached the peak of 8th-rank strength, or even broken through to 9th rank, capable of competing with the Trickster Demon Lord.
In that case, even General Caster wouldn't be her match. And even if he gave his all, he couldn't cause her any substantial damage...
Not to mention, she had many equally unfathomable companions beside her.
There was an orange-haired woman who kept pretending to be a dog, but Hofa felt she was watching him at all times, waiting for him to make a move.
Was that silver-haired one Princess Sethilu? She could actually put aside her dignity and cooperate so skillfully with her sister.
Really, so strong...
Facing so many enemies, his chances of victory were infinitely close to zero.
And if he were defeated, then next...
"I can only do this."
Hofa took a deep breath and walked toward the distance.

......
"Cheers!"
"Pili pili, cheers! []~(￣▽￣)~*"
The sound of clinking glasses came from the Time Shuttle's dining room.
Many delicious foods were placed on the dining table—not only sizzling steaks, but also salad vegetables and court desserts made by Princess Sethilu. It was absolutely delicious!
The girls also clinked glasses with each other, celebrating this moment of victory.
Lonis and Yicheng lay by the table, happily eating plated cheese. Suling was even singing happily, toasting with Elucia.
Though the atmosphere was very harmonious, Zhou Mixue's heart was incredibly worried!
Because they hadn't completely defeated the enemy yet!
How could they be popping champagne at halftime!
This was disrespectful to the enemy and setting up a flag!
Moreover, Elucia had gathered everyone in the dining room for a party, leaving no one in the pilot house... The ship was on autopilot and couldn't detect enemy situations immediately.
So Zhou Mixue really wanted to go to the pilot house and take on the responsibility of warning everyone.
But...
"Zhou Mixue, you're not allowed to leave!"
"Wuu ya!"
Before her bottom could leave the seat, Zhou Mixue's skirt was grabbed by Elucia.
This little loli not only took the opportunity to rub the senior's thigh, but even said arrogantly: "The party isn't over yet. Leaving like this would be too boring."
"Ah...?"
"After the party we still have to play board games. Last time I lost to the stupid little fox, but this time I absolutely won't lose!"
As Elucia spoke, a faint smell of alcohol emanated from her mouth.
The hypnotized Elucia was like someone who drank fake alcohol, appearing silly. And now after being drunk,
She became even more "domineering and tyrannical."
Zhou Mixue was completely restrained and had no way to leave:
"That, Elucia... I'm a bit worried that enemies might launch a sneak attack?"
"Sneak attack?"
"Yes, they failed today, so they should be thinking of immediately launching a sneak attack to turn things around, right? So I want to keep watch..."
Zhou Mixue was already pleading, but Elucia shook her head and said:
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"Eh?"
"I was so amazing today that those stupid demons fled in terror. How could they possibly come for a sneak attack~~~"
"Ah..."
"Keep the music playing and dancing going. We want mountains beyond mountains, towers beyond towers, when will the wine pool fox forest rest... eh, where's little fox? Let me hug her!"

......
Hofa walked alone through the Beast Path.
Those twisted tentacles naturally couldn't cause him any harm, but Hofa was still careful, watching his surroundings.
His expression was as if he was afraid of being discovered by someone.
(Good thing this secret path is unknown to anyone...)
Just as Hofa breathed a sigh of relief, a voice suddenly came from behind him:
"Lord Hofa, you're in such a hurry, where are you planning to go?"
"What?!"
Hofa turned around in shock, only to see the figure he least wanted to see.
Mortak.
This man hid his entire face under a hood, his withered mouth corners grinning, looking so disgusting.
Unlike Withered Leaf and Minotaur, Mortak was sent by Caster and wasn't one of his own people.
So...
Hofa responded coldly:
"Mortak, where I go is none of your business."
"I certainly can't control that, but if someone has ulterior motives, I must purge the traitors."
"What are you saying!"
"Lord Hofa, since you want to surrender to Elucia, please... die here!"
Mortak waved his cloak, and a swarm of maggots rushed out with him.
