Chapter 47: Strange Creatures in the corridor
Faith did not pick up the precious materials on the ground.
She stepped back and gently closed the door.
If she had not known the strength of the owner of the castle, she would have thought that she could get away with it.
But now, she completely put that thought away.
The most important thing for her now was to find an exit.
She, the talented female mage who would dominate the continent in the future, could not be trapped here.
After exiting the room, Faith carefully walked along the wall.
After walking for about half an hour, Faith found that there was something wrong here.
Just ten minutes ago, she had left her torn dress here.
But now she found her torn dress on the ground again.
This meant that there was something wrong with this corridor.
She had been walking in circles in this space.
“Illusions? Spatial Spell?”
Although Faith was only a Tier-Four mage, she was also the princess of the kingdom and the disciple of the Tier-Eight mage Mondo, hence she could naturally enter and leave the National Library as she please.
There she learned that this world not only has elemental magic but there were also more complicated spells that dealt with space and time.
But to practice these spells, one needed to be extremely talented.
It was not something that ordinary people could come into contact with.
So, in this kind of situation where she was walking in circles, Faith’s first thought was that she had encountered this kind of rare magic.
If she really did encounter this kind of rare magic, then there was basically no chance for her to escape.
Because in order to break this magic, one needed to use either a powerful external force to intervene or rely on one’s own strength.
But now, she didn’t even have the strength of a Tier-One mage.
It was impossible to break.
Faith sat on the ground.
She suddenly felt discouraged.
No matter what, she was only a 16-year-old girl.
Facing these pressures continuously, she felt overwhelmed.
Especially since she had just torn her own clothes, revealing her snow-white tender flesh inside.
If her body was seen by others outside, those who see it would wish that they never have to blink just so they could catch one more glimpse.
Looking at the corridor that was completely impassable, she suddenly felt a little cold.
Just as she sat down, she suddenly heard a strange sound coming down the corridor.
Soft rustling.
It sounded like a slug squirming.
Hearing this sound, Faith was also a little surprised.
She had been walking in this place for half an hour and found nothing.
Faith pulled herself together and wanted to see what was making the sound.
It was a creature about the size of a table.
It had a dozen tentacles.
Hmm! It was like a large octopus but without that disgusting head.
It kept squirming forward, leaving mucus everywhere.
Faith never saw this creature before.
She had never even seen such a strange creature in the National Library before.
But before Faith could react, the creature seemed to smell something that it was attracted to.
Its tentacles suddenly froze.
Then, all of them started to approach Faith.
Faith had no more strength to stand up due to her exertion just now.
Seeing this strange creature approaching her, Faith struggled to support her body.
She was trying to crawl out.
Fortunately, the creature wasn’t moving fast.
The two sides were in a deadlock.
But as time passed, the tentacle creature seemed to become irritated.
It began to move faster.
Seeing that a sticky tentacle was about to touch Faith’s tender legs, Faith cried out in surprise and fell to the ground.
The creature immediately seized the opportunity and used its long tentacle to tightly wrap around Faith’s calf.
It also gripped Faith’s ankle.
This strange touch immediately made Faith let out a shrill moan from her throat.
She raised her hand, wanting to cast a Tier-One spell to cut off the disgusting tentacles.
But at this moment, she couldn’t even cast a Tier-One wind spell.
Her magic reserve had already dried up and she was unable to resist at all.
The creature was like a big snake, reaching out another tentacle to grab Faith’s other ankle.
The creature seemed to be very patient.
It knew that Faith still had a little bit of strength left.
It just kept using its tentacles to drain her strength.
After both of Faith’s ankles were grabbed, she became more and more flustered.
She didn’t stop her struggles for a single moment, but it was obvious that she was facing a very experienced creature.
It didn’t lack the slightest bit of patience towards the prey that it caught in its tentacles.
Gradually, Faith was left with only the strength to breathe. Her face was as beautiful as a ripe apple and her charming little mouth was heavily breathing air in and out.
She could only make out what was probably an “I” sound, but no one knew what “I” was.
Although Faith’s feet never stop shaking, the intensity of the grip on her ankle was far beyond her imagination.
No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t shake it off.
Faith’s petite body seemed so fragile in front of the creature’s tentacles.
Seeing Faith’s strength depleting, the creature began to wave its other tentacles toward her.
But this time it wasn’t going for her ankles.
It was aiming for Faith’s torn clothes.
It seemed to be driven by instinct.
The tentacles violently tore Faith’s dress into pieces.
The creature no longer had the patience it previously displayed towards its prey.
At this moment, Faith’s beautiful body was finally exposed to the air.
Faith’s panting became louder as the creature tore at her.
However, both of her feet were still under the control of the creature’s tentacles.
Her incessant panting was loud and clear as it echoed throughout the corridor.
It seemed that Faith’s moans had triggered some mechanism.
At this moment, a ripple suddenly appeared in the calm space of the entire corridor.
It was as if a drop of water dripped onto the surface of a calm lake.
A pure white hand suddenly seemed to cross over from another space and caused the entire corridor to fluctuate.
The creature felt this fluctuation.
The giant octopus seemed to sense some danger.
The two sticky tentacles that were tightly wrapped around Faith’s ankles suddenly loosened.
The creature abandoned Faith, who was now completely naked, and fled in panic.
Judging from its speed, the creature moved much faster fleeing than it did while chasing after Faith.
This creature had been playing with Faith from the beginning.
At this point, it was definitely the performance of a high-level creature.
And Faith, who was released by the strange creature, fainted again in the midst of all the confusion.
