Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 68

(EP-68.2) Shadows Cast #4

068 – Shadows Looming Ark #4

I didn’t know how this kind of power was possible to monsters who had no muscles and only bones.

“Help me!”

“I’ll pull you!”

It was then that Mirna grabbed my hand.

In the end, it felt like my body was being stretched in half with Mirna pulling me from the inside and the skeletons pulling me from the outside.

“Hieeek...!!!! You’re tearing me aaah...!!!!”

If this continued, I would become either The/o or Theooooo. Regardless, it was certain that my body would stretch and rip.

... Was this what it felt like to be the rope in tug-of-war?

“What are you doing? Now, that’s funny!”

Looking at my misery, Elga burst out laughing before grabbing Mirna’s waist.

Then, after giving it a little pulling force, my body completely entered through the cramped door. Finally, I breathed a sigh of relief, stroking my stretched legs and waist.

“Thank you, you saved my life...”

Elga laughed at that.

“You got pulled hard! Did you get taller? Your legs must have gotten quite long after that~.”

I almost got ripped in half, how could you joke like that!?

... But, it did make some sense.

... I could take a look later.

Kiiiik. Bang.

The gate suddenly closed shut. Seeing this, Elga tried pushing and pulling on it to no avail.

“It’s not moving. Should I just break the daɱn thing?”

To that, Mirna shook her head.

“No. That wouldn’t be a very good idea, especially since the activity outside is getting stronger. Perhaps the buried soldiers of the old Gracia Castle Ruins are being resurrected as undead.”

“You mean that if we open this door, they will come rushing inside?”

“Something like that.”

As Mirna said, there were quite a few signs from the outside. From noises of the door being scratched to a series of unknown screams.

The thought that the weedy garden we just walked through would get flooded with skeletons gave me chills...

“It’s probably a trap – something to push us into the castle.”

“Alright then, let’s go find the professor. Gotta settle the score right?”

Elga raised the torch and boldly forged ahead again. I really felt lucky that Elga was here.

It was reassuring to think that we were on the same side.

In that sense, Mirna actually didn’t do much.

She was just like any other ordinary girl after she lost her father and Lich, Aleister Draco, to Professor Balan...

In this current situation, wouldn’t Narmi be more helpful?

However, Narmi must be sleeping deep within the consciousness somewhere in that body right now.

“Shh....”

Elga suddenly stopped.

Likewise, Mirna and I followed suit.

“Be quiet. I think there’s something in front of this hallway.”

She then pointed forward.

Just as I was wondering about our mysterious guest, it had already decided to come for us.
