Awakened: Evolving to Godhood-Chapter 324 - Gaining A Worshipper+ Area Crossing Area 8

One of Elliot's two remaining tasks was to step out of the unholy necropolis.

Although he could complete one of his two remaining tasks by going to the sixth area and taking the portal there, which would lead him out of this place, Elliot didn't do that.

First off, he still needed to kill unholy elves, fifty of them.

Secondly, if he goes out now, it would take him a lot of time to get back inside and reach this place. By then, the spider queen would be well prepared for him, and things would get messy.

The last reason behind his choices was that he was here to put an end to the spider queen for good, and he was sure that with his current energy level and strength, he was strong enough to do that.

In his mind, there was not a single thought of going back, and he was mentally prepared to reach and kill the spider queen today.

Freya walked in front of him, leading him through the bewildering pathways of the 8th area. It was narrow but extended for many miles and had many turns, some full of traps. f𝙧𝒆𝚎𝑤e𝚋𝓷o𝘷𝗲l.c𝐨m

"My lord, I've both bad and good news for you." While leading him, she turned her face towards him, opened her mouth, revealing her red tongue to him, and said, "The eighth area is full of deadly traps. I, however, remember where they are, and I can even deactivate many of them, but many I can not. The traps that have a way of being deactivated I must dismantle; otherwise, passing by them would activate them. The good news is that I can solve most of them in under a minute, and only three or four would take me several minutes. The second good news is that the traps that I can not disarm wouldn't activate unless we step on the medium that acts as the trap activator, so I request you to step on the same spots as me."

Elliot felt blinded by her surprise attack, which was suddenly showing him her face, for a few moments. He didn't know what God was thinking while making her. She was weak but had a thousand points on her face. She was like a star that had appeared in the mortal realm, turning thousands of heads and attracting all eyes towards her. Yet, she didn't have the power to defend herself. God was intentionally pulling trouble towards her by putting a thousand stat points in her face! Thankfully, the high elves were also highly handsome and beautiful beings, and although she was gorgeous, she had dark skin, which they disdained, and thus, she escaped must trouble. And when she was here, the spider queen held her in high regard and treated her like her doll, not letting her ugly spider husbands and disgusting male pets touch her. So, she had managed to remain pure so far. And she was even lucky to come across Elliot. If it were any other human, it was hard to say what state she would be in right now.

"You don't need to be so humble," Elliot said as he started stepping on only those spots that she stepped on.

"I understand that you're not used to it, my lord, but please let me be respectful to you." Freya was adamant about lowering herself and treating him like a young master from a distinguished family, that we could tell. He didn't want to argue with her, so he allowed her to do as she liked. "The way to reach the next area is to take the perfect turns every time we come across multiple pathways. If you take a single wrong turn, the labyrinth magic formation will teleport you back to the start of the eighth area. And so, I wish that you would hear one more of my requests."

Elliot found her too sweet!

She was talking to him too kindly!

She was treating him a thousand times better than when they first met.

Was it because he saved her again and again that she was like this, or was it because he was too majestic, a first-generation resistor, a powerful being who had shown her a glimpse of his strength, a young man with a weird personality, or was it a mixture of it all?

After Elliot blinked his eyes at her twice, he said, "I don't mind hearing out your request."

"My lord, please don't wander off by yourself and follow me closely."

Did she take him as a kid that required an elder to tell him that?!

And that wasn't one but two requests!

Elliot was secretly a bit pissed off. However, after he took into consideration her gentleness and attitude against him and the fact that she was saying this for his own good, he stopped the dissatisfaction from entering his heart.

Outwardly, he beamed towards her.

"I will only step on the spots you've stepped on, and I will only take the turns you've taken and remain close to you," Elliot stated in a calm voice. "Is that good?"

Freya didn't know why but his smile that revealed his pearly white teeth was suddenly too blinding for her. She felt like she wasn't looking at her lord, but a bright sun filled her with warmth. And the palpitations of her heart increased as she felt that warmth. What the heck was wrong with her?

Freya didn't realize that although she liked him, it was already in the past.

By now, she was already so much attracted to him that she was subconsciously in love with him.

Even though his heart already belonged to someone else, meaning he was out of her loss of a potential spouse, she had fallen for him.

How could she, who hated harem, ever think that much less admit to that.

So, not for a moment did she think that the increase in her heartbeat was related to something like her falling for him.

Instead, she thought something else.

'Whenever I watched my race bowing before the spider queen and worshiping her as if she was really a god and not a whore who rapes young men and consumes them after doing the deed, I always thought that they were blind and brainwashed idiots. I hated them for worshiping a demonic woman. I couldn't understand why they would kill anyone who disrespects her and do any deeds, no matter how bad, for her. But today, I understand.'

Freya had mistaken her feelings for Elliot as the same feelings that worshipers held for their gods.

The warmth and joy she was feeling just because she was looking at him were too much and too precious.

She felt that she would be the first to raise her weapon and attack anyone who dared to disrespect him in her presence.

Elliot could say for sure that this vixen was seducing him. For the last three minutes, she had been staring at him with her eyes. Pinkish powder appeared on her face and spread all over her body, making all her exposed parts beautiful snd ten times more enchanting.

Looking into her eyes, he found them deep as the ocean and as stagnant as its depth. They were full of frantic desires and admiration, and since she was looking at him, he determined that both of her current emotions were for him.

Elliot narcissistically thought that his charm and character had made another beauty fall in love with him.

It was tough being so handsome and great, ah!

Anyhow, Freya was too late and could only get back in the line if she wanted to become his bride.

"For how long are you going to keep on looking at me?" The tone he used to say that carried irritation instead of his usual calmness.

"Please forgive me for my irresponsible and offensive actions, my lord."

Freya snapped out of her daze and immediately apologized.

Only now did she realize that she had been scrutinizing every inch of his figure, just like the pervert in the past used to do when they first saw her.

She felt extremely flustered, so much that she wanted to dig a hole and bury herself there to escape his judgmental gaze.

"Let's not waste any more time here."

She realized that this was his way of saying that he had forgiven her and wanted her to do her job.

She turned around and started walking ahead of him. She had a good brain. She remembered all the necessary turns one needed to take to get to the next area. Thus, they reached halfway inside area 8th without experiencing any setbacks.

After the halfway point, things got way difficult for Freya. They had to stop many times so that she could disarm the deadly traps. And only after doing that would they move ahead.

While she was disarming the last one, she was on all four, a very ambitious position.

Her thighs and a part of her buttocks that the clothes and armor failed to recover entered his sight and sped up his blood flow. He was sure that she was focused only on crippling the worst of all the trap so far and not at all trying to seduce him.

Thus, as a gentleman, who did not want to embarrass her, he didn't reveal that she was having a wardrobe malfunction and also turned his eyes away from the enchanting sight.

"I've disarmed this trap. We can move ahead." Freya said after five minutes.

"Good work."

A gust of energy aroused beneath her and helped her back to her feet, and only then did Elliot turn to look at her.

The last section of this area had many traps she couldn't disarm. They avoided all such pitfalls by not stepping on the tiles and pressing or touching the spots that acted as an activation button.

Freya was thinking her hardest. Thanks to this, they didn't misstep even once.

As he was following behind her, it was too easy for Elliot to head deeper into the unholy necropolis.

By the time they reached the end of the eighth area, he felt that having a guide like Freya was like gaining a god's blessing.
