Chapter 235, Section 234: The Reason for Becoming a Mature Woman - I'm in Love, Let's Have an Extra Dinner Tonight

Boom!

The Berserker Bear Demon King slammed his spiked club heavily onto the ground, cracks spreading out and shattering the deathly silence of the cave.

Its bear-like eyes were fixed on Gu Yuan, filled with disbelief and ferocity, as if it couldn't believe what was happening before its eyes: "You human—how are you alright?!"

"My imposing aura is enough to paralyze and kneel all demons within a twenty-mile radius! What makes you think you can still stand?!"

'

"Gu Yuan listened to the question, while quietly suppressing the blood and qi in his body that were slightly churning due to the impact, and slowly exhaled.

As a warrior who crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, his will and strength had long been integrated, tempered and refined, and could not be shaken by a ferocious beast.

Reflecting on the "Pressure Resistance" skill he had just acquired, he gained a more intuitive understanding of the rules of this world.

Just like unlocking achievements, you have to take action first and then reap the rewards. You get defense against mental attacks within minutes of landing, which is a pretty good start.

Seeing that Gu Yuan was not only unharmed but also ignored his questioning, the Violent Bear Demon King felt an unprecedented sense of humiliation.

"Thump!"

Blinded by rage, it gripped its spiked club tightly, its arm muscles bulging.

However, just as it took its first step, it seemed to suddenly remember something.

The rage on his face transformed into a strange realization at that moment.

Then, it burst into deafening, maniacal laughter, its voice smug: "Hahahaha! So that's how it is! I understand!"

It raised its spiked club, no longer pointing it at Gu Yuan, but turning it towards Ramiris, its eyes gleaming with greed. "Is this what makes visitors from another world special? Ramiris! No wonder you've hidden them away like treasures!"

"To be able to withstand the Demon King's oppressive aura upon first arriving in this world—this potential, this trait, I increasingly desire it!"

"What?"

Ramiris was completely stunned, her face filled with genuine confusion and innocence. "I didn't—I didn't—"

She waved her hands frantically, but inwardly she was screaming, "This is the first time I've ever seen such an outrageous visitor from another world!"

Normally, anyone who can defeat a goblin on their own is considered excellent. What kind of monster is this human?!

She looked at Gu Yuan with surprise and doubt, recalling how easily he could keep up with her flying speed and stamina, and felt even more that this person was unfathomable.

The Bear Demon King stopped arguing and became convinced of his "truth".

It roared, and its massive body unleashed a speed disproportionate to its size. The spiked club tore through the air with a destructive whistling sound as it slammed down towards Ramiris!

This attack contained immense power; if it landed, even the Elf Queen would be severely injured.

"!"

Ramiris's pupils contracted slightly as she snapped back to her senses. A verdant magic circle instantly bloomed in front of her, and a shield of light intertwined to barely withstand the heavy blow from the club!

The collision of magic and brute force unleashed a powerful shockwave, causing the entire grotto to shake violently once again.

As Gu Yuan watched the clash between the two demon king-level beings, he finally pieced together the clues and remembered the contradictions in his mind regarding the image of Ramiris.

Ramiris once fell into the form of a fairy after losing her powers, which is why she needs to be reincarnated every few hundred years.

When she appeared in the main storyline, she was in her petite childhood form because she had only recently been reincarnated.

As time goes by, she will gradually grow up, become more mature and composed, until her next reincarnation.

In other words, the graceful and mature woman in front of her is a rare sight of Ramiris in her prime.

"It seems I arrived long before the main story began—"

Gu Yuan understood, though he wasn't sure exactly how early it was, but this made him secretly relieved.

Because he knew very well that the combat power in the world of "That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime" would rise like a rocket after "Rimuru" appeared.

It will escalate from street explosions and city explosions all the way to the point of exploding into stars and even the creation and destruction of the world.

In contrast, in the era before Rimuru appeared, although the combat power level was still ridiculously high, it was at least within the range that could be understood and dealt with.

call----

Gu Yuan exhaled, calmly observing the battle situation, without immediately intervening.

At the same time, a question arises: This is the Elf Realm, Ramiris's home ground, so why are there no other elves coming out to support her?

Just as he was pondering, a slightly languid and curious female voice rang out, almost right behind his ear: "Hey, human. Are you here to form a contract with me?"

Gu Yuan's heart stirred slightly, but he remained outwardly calm and turned around.

A girl with short, neat brown hair and transparent wings swaying behind her was seen leaning lazily against a nearby rock pillar.

The girl scrutinized Gu Yuan, her nose twitching slightly. "I am Hilde, the earth spirit, who governs 'weight.' You—have a scent I like."

"weight?"

Gu Yuan immediately understood that what she was sensing was his divine sword, which contained immense pressure.

In this world, the so-called "contract" refers to becoming a "spirit user" and using magic by borrowing the power of spirits.

"This matter is not urgent."

Gu Yuan shook his head, his gaze shifting to the direction where the fierce battle was still raging and magical light was constantly exploding. "Your queen is fighting a tough battle, why don't you go help her?"

Upon hearing this, the earth elf Hilde crossed her arms, lazily glancing sideways at Ramiris, her tone carrying a hint of disdain and innate aloofness: "Queen? Just a fallen fairy. Although she's considered the mistress of this place, she's the Demon King, you know?"

"Moreover, with Ramiris's current strength, defeating that clumsy bear will be difficult, but she will be able to protect herself."

Gu Yuan nodded slightly to indicate his understanding, and then directly rejected her suggestion: "I'm sorry, I don't need to form a contract at the moment."

Why?

Hilde's eyes widened in surprise, clearly not expecting such a straightforward rejection.

As a high-level elemental spirit, to have a contract offered and then be rejected is almost unprecedented.

Gu Yuan's reasons are very clear.

Firstly, his own power system is already unique enough that he doesn't need to rely on elven magic to enhance it.

Secondly, and more importantly, elven magic may not necessarily grant him immortality, and may even conflict with or weaken his own "idealistic" power.

"you--"

Hilde's lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to say something, trying to explain the power of elven magic.

However, just then, a few teasing laughs came from the shadows of the cave, their voices ethereal and melodious: "Hehehe—Sister Hilde got rejected~"

"Human, if she's not good enough, how about choosing me? I'm a fire spirit who's much better at attacking~"

Hilde's face flushed instantly, and she spat out under her breath, "Shut up! Mind your own business!"

She abruptly raised her head, her emerald eyes filled with shame and indignation, preparing to hurl harsh words at Gu Yuan like, "Human, you'll regret this!" in an attempt to salvage some face—

However, when she looked up, she only saw a faint afterimage left behind.

Gu Yuan is gone.

His figure instantly slashed into the battlefield, his speed reaching its limit! Just as the Bear Demon King raised his spiked club again, clang!

A cold sword light, like lightning tearing through the night sky, struck the weakest point of the spiked club!

When!

The broken weapon crashed to the ground with a crisp metallic crack.

The momentum of the raging bear demon king came to an abrupt halt, and it stood frozen in place.

Ramiris's beautiful eyes widened as she stared in disbelief at Gu Yuan, who had suddenly appeared in front of her, standing with his sword in hand.

Inside the grotto, all was silent for a moment, except for the lingering sound of the broken spiked club hitting the ground.

Gu Yuan gently shook his sword, as if he had only done a trivial thing.

He stood between the two demon kings, feeling their astonished gazes, his mind racing.

"I can't wait any longer," he thought to himself.

In order to become stronger as soon as possible, and to be able to deal with the troublesome "Aging Demon" in the world of Frilian without taking any damage, as well as other possible ancient threats.

He must seize every second to acquire the world's resources.

As an elven queen who has survived for tens of thousands of years, Ramiris's mind contains an irreplaceable treasure trove of knowledge.

Gaining her trust and help is currently the most efficient approach.

Thinking of this, Gu Yuan raised his eyes and locked onto the still bewildered Violent Bear Demon King. A thought naturally came to mind: "Tonight, let's have an extra meal."

"Bear paws should taste good."
