"Nothing much. Anyway, I'll leave the rest to Ilulu."

Theresa lowered Judas's restraints a little further.

Feeling the magic power filling her body, Ilulu didn't waste any words and used magic to restore her form. The cross, which was originally only the size of a child's neck, also grew a lot bigger as Ilulu grew bigger. While it could still be tightly wrapped around her neck, the cross also became the size of an adult's arm.

The feeling of being restrained still made Ilulu a little uncomfortable, but she knew her position at the moment, and with a breath of dragon breath, she blasted a big hole in the soil at the foot of the mountain.

For a dragon, destroying a mountain is very easy, and digging a cave is also a common thing. Ilulu, who has mastered this skill, uses her breath to follow Theresa's instructions to construct the interior of the cave, and uses magic to generate hard rock walls to prevent the cave from collapsing.

With the help of magic, the two of them completed a cave that was large enough for a short period of living in less than half an hour.

"This cave is so small, can it really be lived in?"

Yilulu was not very satisfied.

"That's enough for humanity."

Theresa nodded, and after Ilulu transformed into a human form, she asked a question: "Ilulu, do you know anything about demons?"

Chapter 35: Yilulu, I didn’t lie.

She has created many clones to investigate the situation in various parts of the world, but the time is too short and there are not enough people to go to many places.

"demon?"

Ilulu tilted her head, unsure why she suddenly asked this question, but she had nothing to hide. "I should know a lot about demons. After all, they occasionally cooperate with the Chaos faction. But what exactly does Theresa want to know?"

"Before, in the back mountain, when you attacked the ground, Yilulu, you should have sensed something wrong, right?"

Although she knew that Ilulu must be aware of the other world, Theresa still said vaguely: "Originally, we planned to slip away quietly, but one of our members said that they were possessed by a demon at the time and did something that attracted attention."

"Oh... that's the breath of magical energy flowing at that time..."

Ilulu felt somewhat embarrassed when talking about this. After all, she had breathed fire and then crashed. "I don't think demons are that strong...at least I haven't seen very strong demons. And I'm sure the magic flow at that time didn't seem like that of a demon."

At that time, Ilulu didn't actually distinguish them carefully. After all, they were in a confrontation stage. However, it was not difficult to distinguish them afterwards.

After thinking carefully for a while, Yilulu came up with an answer that puzzled even herself: "Compared to demons... it's more like a dragon?"

Distinguishing the flow of magic power is not that difficult. After all, different races use magic power, and their organs and methods of storing magic power are different, so the flow of magic power can vary greatly.

For example, the magic core of a demon is usually its horn, that of a dragon is its heart, and gods do not have a specific organ. Humans are the same as gods in this respect.

So if it's not a demon or a dragon based on the flow, then it's a god or a human.

Of course, the magic organ is the core organ for storing magic power, not that magic power only flows in the magic organ.

At this point, Ilulu looked at Theresa, her expression becoming increasingly confused. "Is there a dragon in your team? Dragons can't be possessed by demons."

The demons nowadays have become almost helpless because of the contract between the Lord of Hell and the God of the Bible. They cannot show up in their true form and can only appear on earth by relying on human flesh. Ilulu has never taken them seriously.

"Our team consists of ordinary people who don't use magic, so using magic flow as an indicator isn't accurate."

These words made Theresa understand who the operating principle of the "key" came from. It must be the dragons like Thor.

"Can't use magic?"

Where does the flow of magic come from?

There was confusion in Yilulu's eyes.

She didn't ask further: "Are you trying to find the demon that possessed your subordinate? It's better to give up. After all, your previous move completely eliminated the magic power. Demonic possession requires magic power to maintain."

Theresa knew this, of course. "But... my team members are being targeted, and I'm worried they might be in danger... If possible, I'd like to know if there's any way to immediately detect someone possessed by a demon..."

"Demons are best at concealing their presence. If they don't reveal themselves, it's almost impossible to detect them."

Elulu had no choice but to accept the situation. However, Theresa's attitude surprised her: "You are so strong, you don't have to worry about the devil causing trouble for you."

"Well...but I'm the leader of the team, so I have an obligation to protect everyone."

"Why go to such trouble?"

Yilulu couldn't understand: "If they can't keep up with the tribe, it means they are not suitable for this tribe, right? Eliminating them is the best thing for everyone."

"That's the dragon's rule, humans speak differently."

"As far as I know, humans are no different from dragons."

"Maybe that's the case...but I don't want my team to be like that."

Theresa shook her head and then looked at Ilulu: "Besides possession, do demons have no other means of interfering with this world?"

She didn't say anything like 'What would you feel if you were eliminated?' because Ilulu couldn't empathize with that at all. For Ilulu, who was young and whose strength surpassed many adult dragons, the word "eliminated" had nothing to do with her.

"..."

Yilulu looked at Theresa with an even stranger look in her eyes: "Although we often have encounters with demons, Theresa should know more about them, after all..."

She glanced at the cross behind the white-haired girl.

This person is obviously a believer in the God of the Bible. Even though Elulu is not very interested in the petty fights between humans and demons, she knows that believers in the God of the Bible will expel demons, and logically, they should know a lot about demons.

After all, to expel a demon, one needs to know the demon's real name, and Ilulu can't remember so many names anyway.

"...I'm not the one responsible for exorcising demons."

Theresa didn't lie.

"That's true. Using Theresa to exorcise the demon is such a waste."

Ilulu accepted this explanation immediately. After all, she would not pay attention to the affairs between demons and humans. It was not surprising that Theresa, who was stronger than her, did not pay attention to such trivial matters.

"What do you mean by 'use Theresa'? You're making me sound like a prop."

Theresa tapped Ilulu's forehead. The power of a fusion warrior was no weaker than that of a dragon, not to mention a dragon whose magic power was sealed at this time. Although Theresa didn't use much strength, it still made Ilulu feel refreshed.

"It hurts!"

Yilulu covered her slightly red forehead, not knowing why the other party was suddenly unhappy.

I didn't say anything weird, and I even praised her strength. Shouldn't she be happy?

"Eh? Does it hurt that much?"

Theresa was a little surprised that the other party's ability to withstand it was so weak, even though she didn't use much strength.

The dragon with sealed magic power is more fragile than imagined.

Theresa moved Ilulu's hand that was holding her forehead, and after Ilulu obediently put down her hand, she pushed aside her bangs, revealing a noticeable red spot. Although this pain was only temporary for the dragon and would heal in a minute or two, it was caused by herself after all. After thinking about it, Theresa bent down slightly.

"Huh...huh..."

A gentle cool breath spread across my forehead, and the painful area didn't hurt as much after being touched by the cool breeze.

Ilulu, who was originally frightened by Theresa's approach, suddenly stood there in a daze.

This action...she seemed to have seen it before.

It was the move her mother gave her after her human friend fell.

Originally, Ilulu couldn't understand this behavior, but now she understands why humans do this.

This action...is it so comfortable?

Chapter 36: Out of Place.

"You feel better?"

Theresa looked at her forehead, which had lost its redness.

The dragon's recovery ability is still very strong. Even without the support of magic at this time, it is far superior to that of ordinary races, not to mention this minor bump that is not even a wound.

"Ah... well, it's not that serious to begin with! You're making such a fuss!"

Yilulu finally reacted and quickly took two steps back.

"Is that so? Okay, I'm glad you're okay."

Theresa realized her resistance and stopped asking. Instead, she changed the subject: "I'll go get the others to come over. Will Ilulu come too?"

"I?"

Yilulu pointed at herself in confusion. She hadn't expected to get this question, and then shook her head without a second thought: "Forget it. I'm lucky if those humans don't faint from fear after seeing what I say."

There was one thing she didn't say, which was that after all, she was the indirect culprit who caused the destruction of their home. When faced with those humans... she didn't know how to deal with it.

Thinking of this, Yilulu's face darkened. If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have followed Theresa here. It would have been better to be sealed in that place...

"Okay, then I'll go alone, and you have to be careful."

Although Theresa didn't know what Ilulu was thinking, she didn't intend to force her to go over. After giving her some instructions, she left the place.

The two people made quite a lot of noise. Even if the residents didn't see the specific situation, they could feel the shaking of the earth and the huge noise.

Seeing Theresa, the backbone, return, the residents and priests came to her before Reiner and Tifa could step forward.

As the spokesperson for the town, the priest cautiously asked, "Ms. Theresa, what just happened...?"

"Don't worry, it was Ilulu and I... the red dragon, who dug a relatively large cave."

Theresa explained, "We can use that as a temporary residence. I will go back to the town tomorrow to check on the situation. If there is no danger, we can start the town's restoration work."

"So that's it..."

Tifa had just told the residents of the town about Ilulu. The people did not have any objection to the bishop's subduing of the dragon. Instead, it increased Theresa's importance in their hearts.

"Once we have replenished our water supply, let's go to the cave first. Tonight won't be easy, so try to find some branches to lay on the ground on the way there to keep warm."

Theresa said as she looked towards Tifa.

Ordinary people have no extra energy left after running for such a long time. Fatigue and hunger make it too heavy a burden for them to do more things, so this task can only be left to the Valkyries.

"I see."

Tifa nodded naturally.

Although they are not from the same world, they will also act for the weak and ordinary people.

Theresa did not choose a location too far away for her temporary residence, but in order to prevent it from being discovered by any dragon, the location she chose was also secret. It was at the foot of a mountain surrounded by woods. The entrance to the cave was only two people high and three people wide, which was enough for Ilulu to crawl in.

It was very cold in the cave at night. The Valkyries collected a lot of branches and weeds from all directions and covered everyone's resting place with them. This layer of grass plus everyone's clothes and coats made the beds still simple, but it was enough for a night's rest after a long day of fatigue.

In addition, the Valkyries lit a fire at intervals and made a wooden door with arranged wood at the entrance of the cave to block most of the cold air, so the cave was somewhat warm.

The exploration team didn't bring many big things with them, but Reiner still found some coats and made a relatively soft bed for Theresa. Theresa's condition affected their chances of survival, so she had to be given priority.

Unable to refuse, Theresa finally had to accept and lay down with Ilulu.

Everyone already knows about Ilulu's existence. After all, she is the dragon that Theresa subdued and converted. However, knowing and accepting her does not mean that people will be less afraid of her. Her power to easily destroy a city is enough to make people regard her as an alien.

What's more, their current dire situation was also caused by the dragon. Even if they regarded it as a test from the Lord, it was impossible for them to have no complaints against Ilulu.

As a giant dragon, Ilulu's five senses are superior to those of ordinary people, so she naturally has a stronger perception of other people's emotions. The human beings' avoidance of her is not surprising to her. Even so, Ilulu is still in a bad mood.

This feeling of being out of tune with others made the expression on her face even more gloomy.

Despite noticing this, Theresa had no better solution at this time, because everyone's rejection of Ilulu did not come from prejudice, but fear.

It is difficult to eliminate prejudice in people's hearts, and it is equally difficult to eliminate fear. Even if everyone knows that this temporary shelter was the work of Ilulu, they only attribute the credit to Theresa.

Of course, even Ilulu could not refute this point. Although she was the one who contributed, she also understood that if it were not for Theresa, the shelter would not have been built at all. In fact, if it were not for Theresa, these humans might have died long ago.

But even if she knew this rationally, she still felt uncomfortable because her efforts did not receive praise or recognition from the beneficiaries.

In addition, after the others knew that Ilulu was going to live with them, they naturally pushed Ilulu to Theresa's care, which further aggravated Ilulu's mentality that she was incompatible with humans.

Although Theresa is also a human being.

"It will be fine."

Theresa couldn't give any more comfort. After all, if Ilulu wasn't a child, Theresa would have treated her the same as the dragon before.

If Theresa hadn't been in a hurry, the dragon would have been killed by her.

Ilulu was not very proficient in transformation magic. Her thick claws with dragon scales and the overly large fire bags on her chest made Theresa feel uncomfortable when she was squeezed next to her.

But in order to maintain her image, Theresa still hugged and comforted her.

It had been who knows how long since she had been treated as a child and had not received any care and love. Ilulu, who lost her parents at a young age, was very pleased with Theresa's behavior. Although the collar on her neck made her uncomfortable and the exclusion of humans also made her feel uncomfortable, at this moment she felt a strange sense of satisfaction.

I just hope that Theresa like this can keep her by my side forever.
