After the Magic Mirror suppressed the curse within the queen, she looked at her reflection.
Her bewitching face was snow-white and flawless, with captivating blue eyes.
The Evil Queen wore a black backless evening gown, revealing her snow-white, full E-cup cleavage.
The sexy dress exposed a large expanse of pale skin.
Her voluptuous legs were clad in glossy pearl black silk stockings, stepping in red-soled high heels, alluring and seductive.
Any man seeing her would be set ablaze with desire.
Except Chu Yun, no man dared to look directly at the queen.
Not even her son, Prince Milton, dared gaze at his seductive, evil mother.
"Your Majesty, the curse within you is acting more frequently. Though the Magic Mirror can suppress it temporarily, each outbreak grows stronger."
A Purple-Haired Witch, cleaning up the emaciated slave corpses nearby, spoke.
The queen's bewitching eyes flickered with cruelty.
"If that's so, bring me more slaves. This unparalleled beauty cannot be lost!"
Her voice was icy cold, as if slaves' lives were worthless to her.
Her evil nature fully revealed.
"Yes!"
The Purple-Haired Witches nodded, finished cleaning, and left.
Soon, only the queen stood before the Magic Mirror, staring at her seductive face, lost in thought.
Dark Forest
Arthur led the way; the slender thief guarded the rear.
Chu Yun, Lina, and Elena were in the middle.
Whenever monsters appeared, Arthur faced them first.
As an Eighth Level Paladin, Arthur's defense was formidable, even powerful monsters struggled to breach it.
The muddy path was eerily quiet.
Arthur suddenly stopped.
"Be careful, a powerful monster approaches!" he said grimly.
The Mercenary Group halted.
Even Arthur felt this monster would be formidable.
Lina shed her usual seductive expression, raised her wand, and softly chanted spells.
Arthur sensed the monster's presence, stepping on rotten leaves, and slashed toward the shadows.
A huge black bear emerged.
It was as tall as five men, claws larger than human heads, with blood-red, fierce eyes.
What terrified Chu Yun most was the bear's tongue—a writhing centipede!
This was the first time Chu Yun saw such a horrifying monster.
"Mutated monster! Be careful! Lina, protect Knight Master!" Arthur's face was grave.
The bear opened its mouth; countless centipedes crawled out, releasing green poisonous gas that quickly spread.
Trees touched by the gas withered visibly.
Such toxic gas would kill instantly on contact.
Arthur stood firm but was engulfed by the gas; his face turned pale instantly.
"Advanced healing spell!" Elena quickly cast a healing light over Arthur and Chu Yun.
The golden light dissolved the green gas and rapidly healed Arthur.
"I'll distract the bear; Lina, unleash your advanced explosion magic!" Arthur ordered.
"Yes!"
Recovered, Arthur charged, slashing at the bear's steel-hard fur.
The strike didn't break the fur; the bear grew more furious.
It opened its mouth again, releasing centipedes crawling over Arthur's body.
Chu Yun's scalp tingled witnessing this.
Alone, he'd have no chance.
The centipedes bit Arthur mercilessly; even an Eighth Level Paladin writhed in pain, screaming.
"Eight-Ring Explosion Magic!"
Lina finished her chant; eight magic circles spun around her wand, firing a golden beam.
The bear tried to retreat, but Arthur crazily attacked, delaying it.
The beam pierced the bear's skull, causing an explosion that scattered bloody flesh everywhere.
"Quick! Heal!" Chu Yun shouted.
Arthur's vitality was strong; despite near-death injuries, his aura remained powerful.
Elena healed him with glowing magic.
After hours, Arthur slowly awoke.
"Truly an Eighth Level Paladin—such quick recovery from heavy wounds."
Chu Yun watched Arthur like a monster.
This was just an Eighth Level Paladin facing Dark Forest's strongest monsters.
Ninth Level or Semi-God Paladins would be even stronger.
"Knight Master, unexpected such deadly monsters lurk here. Mutated black bears are rare even in Demonic Territory."
Arthur smiled lightly.
"Let's move on; the lake isn't far now." Lina urged.
"Wait—"
Lina paused as Elena interrupted.
"What's wrong?" Lina looked at Elena curiously.
"I cast several advanced healing spells and have used up my Magic Power. Knight Master, please replenish me."
Elena smiled sweetly at Chu Yun.
"Let's go."
Chu Yun hadn't expected to help replenish Elena's Magic Power but gladly agreed.
Elena walked to a large tree, placing her hands on its trunk.
She lifted her white wedding dress, revealing straight legs clad in white silk thigh-high stockings with garters.
