Listening to Little Blue’s intermittent description, Violet could probably confirm that the vessel bearing the descent would not retain memories from the divine descent period.
Of course, it could also be that Little Blue’s situation is unique. After all, she’s a slime, and according to the principles of divine descent as explained by Sethlin, she shouldn’t meet the conditions to bear Violet’s incarnation.
For now, let’s just take note of it for reference. If there’s a chance later on, we can try with another vessel.
“Well, about your physical condition... Are you feeling uncomfortable? If so, I can help with healing.”
“As for my body...”
Upon hearing this, Little Blue obediently closed her eyes, seemingly beginning to sense something. After all, she was a slime, and many situations were different from those of ordinary creatures, as Violet had experienced when relying on her before.
Before long, Miss Slime opened her eyes in her mimicked form, her face suddenly shedding its confusion and revealing astonishment and joy that couldn’t be concealed.
“This... This feeling, have I finally succeeded in evolving?! Unbelievable, such a powerful bloodline force... But, didn’t I just get your bodily fluids before?”
“It seems so indeed. In any case, congratulations are in order, Little Blue.”
Obviously, the racial name displayed on the panel during the previous possession, which had become “Holy Light Slime,” did not appear due to the descent status. Quite the opposite, it was probably because Little Blue, for some unknown reason, had completed a special evolutionary adaptation to the light attribute that she could meet the conditions for Violet’s incarnation.
Violet herself was a bit puzzled because she had never seen a real “Adaptive Mimicry Slime” before and didn’t understand its evolutionary principles. But, it is likely related to the crystal pure element with a hint of SP that the priestess gave her.
However, being able to handle it is a good thing. It’s best not to use bodily fluids if nature allows it, because both options are a bit embarrassing...
Little Blue’s current strength is definitely not at the level of Lv80 when Violet possessed her. This can be clearly judged from her aura.
However, after absorbing the high-purity light element crystal, which is at least equivalent to a 7th-order magic crystal, and completing her racial evolution, she should at least not be much inferior to that guy, Mr. South Blade, in terms of pure attributes. Moreover, this is just the initial state, and she should continue to grow in the future.
The species of Holy Light Slime has never appeared in any game or in this world, as far as Violet’s knowledge and records go.
Slimes are creatures that naturally fear light and fire, which is why they frequently inhabit dark, damp underground areas or dense forests. Fire attribute slimes may occasionally appear in certain special magma zones, but Holy Light Slimes are truly unique.
This is undoubtedly closely related to Violet’s help, but the fascinating characteristics of the “Adaptive Mimicry Slime,” a species that is almost extinct, are probably also indispensable.
However, it remains to be seen how much combat power she can exert without Violet’s possession.
“Now that your wish has been fulfilled, although the form is somewhat different, our contract should also be considered formally established, right? For the next three years, you’ll have to work hard for me~”
Actually, the priestess originally just intended to make a seemingly joking remark, confirming the matter while also easing the other’s overly formal attitude. However, Little Blue immediately nodded vigorously, showing excitement and respect, and bowed down again.
“Yes! Thank you for your grace! From today onwards, until you feel bored, Little Blue will be Lady Violet’s faithful servant. Whatever it is, please feel free to command me!”
Wow, why so formal...
It made her feel a little embarrassed.
Watching the slime miss kneeling on one knee with a cape, Violet suddenly couldn’t help but think of scenes from manga where knights swore loyalty and protection to princesses. Hmm... what should she do in such a situation usually? Extend her hand for her to kiss, or pat her head?
Wow, what a shameful punishment...
Feeling the subtle gaze from the dragon lady behind her, the priestess immediately shook her head in her mind.
Well, it’s probably better to forget about it.
“Ahem... Alright, get up now. With this, the promise to Tiyelu is basically settled... Let’s regroup with your companions first.”
“Yes, Lady Violet!”
When she returned to the monsters’ side, the demons who arrived first had already finished the aftermath work.
There were still some scattered mercenaries outside the 【Light Protection】 barrier, ordinary soldiers responsible for guarding. Because they were too scattered and not many in number, Violet didn’t specifically spend time dealing with them.
The 【Light Protection】 protecting Lulu and the others was actually released by Little Blue. Since Violet had ended her descent, the slime lost the ability to maintain this 6th-tier magic, so the barrier would naturally dissipate over time.
So, before coming out, Violet had already instructed Walter and the others to immediately handle this matter and protect the monsters who lost their shelter.
The priestess scanned around and found that all the scattered soldiers were lying on the ground, groaning in pain or simply passing out.
With a team of two legendary-level Great Demon Generals, dealing with these average level 10 humans was naturally a piece of cake for the demons. However, what surprised Violet was that the demons didn’t actually kill anyone, they only knocked them out or disabled their limbs.
Considering how mercilessly they slaughtered the Ghost Thief Group members earlier, the priestess thought these guys would have a “kill on sight” attitude towards humans.
“How’s the situation?”

“It went smoothly, Lady Violet. We’ve rescued all the captured children, with no casualties. Some of the injured were reportedly caused by conflicts with humans when they first left the cave, but Ewan is already treating them.”
Because Walter was engaged in a passionate showdown with that human commander, the one who came forward seemed to be named Esther, a busty Moon Shadow race elder sister with short blue-gray hair exuding an agile aura.
Meanwhile, another legendary-level figure, who appeared younger than Esther, was Ewan, a black-haired, straight-haired, pure-looking girl manipulating threads. At the moment, she was squatting in front of several nonhuman girls lying on the ground, seemingly bandaging their wounds.
Violet had already noticed these injured girls earlier, but their injuries weren’t severe, so she didn’t pay much attention to them.
“That’s good then. Why hasn’t Tiyelu shown up yet... oh well.”
Violet turned her head to glance at Walter, who was still fiercely battling the human commander in the distance, shook her head helplessly, and then shifted her gaze back to Esther.
“Since the matter with Tiyelu has been settled, and we’re even on moral grounds, what are your plans next?”
Esther seemed to have a straightforward personality and didn’t hesitate to reply.
“Oh, we’ve already discussed this before. We’ll probably assign some demon generals to escort the children back home, while another group will continue to infiltrate the Demon Suppression City and search for the Little Princess.”
“Hmm... searching for the Little Princess, huh...”
The black-haired girl pondered for a moment, resting her chin on her hand.
“Don’t take this the wrong way, but you’ve been searching in the city for so long, and not only have you found nothing, but you also almost got yourselves in trouble this time... Frankly, if you haven’t found it by now, continuing the search might be futile.”
Esther didn’t seem angry, just shook her head and replied.
“Lady Violet, it’s not accurate to say that everyone’s actions have been meaningless. As you can see, we have identified the despicable human group known as the Ghost Thief Group who originally kidnapped the Little Princess, and during this time, we have been searching for and eliminating many of its members. The fact that they would go to great lengths to set traps like this indicates that our actions have indeed posed a threat and impacted those scoundrels, don’t you think?”
Miss Moon Shadow Wolf and Miss Priestess exchanged a glance, the former showing no signs of wavering in her expression, indicating that this failure hadn’t discouraged her.
“The importance of the Little Princess, I believe Tiyelu has already explained it to you. We dare not expect you and your companions to continue helping, but asking us to give up is out of the question.”
“Well, there’s no way around it...”
The black-haired girl scratched her face in frustration, then, as if she had anticipated it, smirked cunningly.
“Alright, I can help you find that cub, but in return, I have a condition.”
