Volume 3, Chapter 98 – Made It In Time!

As a catgirl who had already decided to devote the meaning of the rest of her life to Tianyin… for Yeluo, if stirring up a rebellion among the half-beasts could give Tianyin even the tiniest bit of help…

Then all the effort she had been putting in during this whole time would not have been in vain.

“Xiaoyin… I have to do something for Xiaoyin…”

She had clearly only met Tianyin a few times, yet for the current her, that cute, innocent, and also somewhat adorably dumb little girl had unknowingly become her everything…

And with that kind of feeling in her heart, Yeluo learned the news that the Beastmen King was leading a great army pressing down toward Eden.

Although her first impulse was to rush back at once to help Tianyin, according to what that dangerous woman Xingyu Muxi had said, if she really wanted to help Tianyin, she had to first throw the inside of the Stronghold into utter chaos…

So even though she was incredibly, incredibly anxious inside, Yeluo still did as told.

For Xiaoyin, Yeluo turned the Stronghold into a place where no one could live in peace.

And to help Xiaoyin, Yeluo not only set off the first rebellion in the history of the half-beast race, she also seriously injured one Legendary Beastman after another who had been left behind to guard the Stronghold.

The power of Gluttony was far too strong.

When Yeluo went all out, those Legendaries were not even able to lift a hand against her.

Of course, this kind of temporary power would slowly weaken as it was used more and more and as time passed, but Yeluo no longer wanted to worry about such insignificant things…

Xiaoyin, Xiaoyin is in trouble… I have to go help her…

After wiping out a Beastmen army that had come to suppress them, the instant Yeluo heard that the Beastmen King’s army had officially clashed with Eden’s army, she immediately led the most elite unit within the half-beast uprising forces and rushed toward Eden.

Xiaoyin…

I absolutely, absolutely will not let you get hurt, not even a little bit…

Driven by that thought, Yeluo gave the order more than once along the way to speed up their march.

‘Faster!’

‘Faster—!’

That was what Yeluo kept thinking.

Even though the half-beast army under her command had already become utterly exhausted, Yeluo did not spare a thought for how those ordinary soldiers felt.

“Too slow! This is way too slow! How can it be this slow!”

After marching for several days, Yeluo finally could not stand this turtle-like marching speed anymore.

The patience of half-beasts had a limit, and for Yeluo, a marching speed like this had already pushed her to the edge of what she could endure.

So…

Yeluo, whose heart was filled with nothing but the desire to go help Tianyin, abandoned the Beastmen army she had brought and chose to go on alone, borrowing the power of Gluttony, one of the Seven Original Sins, and rushed toward the battlefield between Eden and the Stronghold mentioned in the intel.

However, when she reached the battlefield… Yeluo did not see a single human figure…

“No one? How is that possible?”

There really was no one. Of course, this was not because Yeluo’s intel was wrong, since in Yeluo’s eyes, the Stronghold and the abandoned Eden camp were still in their original places.

But what Yeluo could not understand was that there was simply no sign of any army here at all…

“No… no, no, where did they all go?”

With some panic in her heart, Yeluo still flitted about over the abandoned battlefield like a headless fly. While she was wandering, Yeluo finally spotted a sneaky-looking figure.

Bang!

Pushing the power Gluttony had given her to the limit, in just an instant, Yeluo suddenly appeared right in front of that sneaky figure.

“Ah…”

Yeluo’s sudden appearance had clearly given that person quite a scare, and once he clearly saw Yeluo’s cute appearance, he was immediately stunned.

“A c-cat… catgirl?”

Because she still cared very much about Tianyin’s whereabouts, Yeluo ignored this somewhat frivolous remark. Instead, she very casually picked the person up with one hand.

“Outsider… tell me, where did all the armies here go?”

“Eh?”

The outsider Yeluo had lifted up gave a little start.

“I-is this a quest?”

In response to such totally oblivious words, Yeluo simply stomped the ground beneath her foot into countless cracks.

“Hmm? Can you tell me or not?”

“Gu… I-I will talk, I will talk… Eden’s army withdrew this morning, and the Stronghold’s army chased after them. This is all the intel I know, don’t kill me, it was really hard for me to grind up to level one, if I die I’ll have to start leveling all over again ah—”

“Hmph.”

Yeluo could not even be bothered to kill this completely powerless outsider. Once she got the information she wanted, she opened her hand and let go of him, then rushed off in the direction the outsider had pointed.

Not long after Yeluo left, that outsider, who had been limp on the ground, suddenly stood up with a completely normal expression.

“Honestly, pretending to be scared is really not my style…”

While that outsider was muttering to himself, Yeluo, who had gotten the intel, was also moving forward at the fastest speed she could manage.

……

After rushing ahead at top speed for a very long time, Yeluo finally spotted a Beastmen army fighting with the Undead.

Among them, the Headless Knight Fischerna, who had once had a brief encounter with Yeluo, was currently locked in a fierce battle with a Beastmen Legendary.

Of course, throughout the fight, Fischerna was completely suppressing that Beastmen Legendary.

“Half-beast? Why are you here?”

Since she was going all out to suppress a Beastmen Legendary, the instant Yeluo approached, Fischerna noticed Yeluo’s presence.

“Hmph… do I need to report to you? Aren’t Beastmen supposed to be fighting Eden, why are you suddenly butting in here instead? As expected… you really live up to being such a crafty Undead…”

Because of the trouble Fischerna had caused Fisiel last time, Yeluo did not have a very good impression of this Headless Knight.

“Although I don’t know why you appeared here, I think you should understand that I’m not your enemy right now. If you want a fight, I can keep you company anytime… but for now you should hurry up and go support Eden.”

“Hmph… I don’t need you to tell me that!”

After exchanging a few brief words with Fischerna, Yeluo again rushed forward without stopping.

……

As she drew closer and closer to the main battlefield, Yeluo also felt, from the front lines, a presence that shared the same origin as her power of Gluttony yet was stronger than it…

“That is… Xiaoyin!”

She did not know what exactly was happening on the main battlefield, but Yeluo knew that all the effort she had poured into rushing here with everything she had was not in vain.

“I’m almost… almost there!”

“Xiaoyin… please, just hold on, hold on a little longer…”

“I… I’m… almost there already!”

At last, Yeluo, who had exhausted herself rushing over, finally arrived at the scene where Tianyin and the Prophet were fighting.
