Disheveled and dirty hair; twisted, pitch-black claws; extremely sharp fangs. All of these were typical characteristics of a Phantom Nanny.On land, their combat abilities were weaker than those of the Ghouls, but when they were in the murky waters of the swamp, their combat strength doubled, allowing them to fight on equal footing with giant alligators. Furthermore, within certain larger populations of Phantom Nannies that had survived for a long time, there might even be a leader who mastered certain Elementium abilities.

These unique Phantom Nannies possessed advanced intelligence comparable to that of Apprentice Mages.

Put it this way: if human Mages were willing to grant freedom to these Phantom Nanny Leaders, it would be possible for them to give birth to a pair of Mage Phantom Nannies.

Too bad for them, this was a world of Mages where human Mages had taken the dominant position. Thus, the evolution and development of all other species were reduced to nothing.

So, no matter how intelligent or wise a Phantom Nanny Leader became, when faced with a Mage who held the superior position, they were merely a valuable experimental target or a source of materials to be recklessly slaughtered.

Today, the peace of this Phantom Nanny's habitat was broken by two outsiders.

A young man and a girl intruded upon the swampy area, one after the other.

The young man who came first was obviously an Apprentice Mage from the Tower of Mages. Aside from his impressive Apprentice cloak, he also carried the distinct magical aura of a talisman that only Apprentices from the Tower could possess. However, this Mage underling was really an unlucky fellow, for he was being chased by someone today.

With his weight reduced by Wind Elementium, he stumbled into the murky water, shouting something recklessly as he ran for his life.

"Sinbad!... You miserable creature that can only hide in the mud like a rat… Get over here quickly… Sinbad… You pathetic slug… Soft monster…"

Thus, the entire Swamp area became chaotic due to this frantic young man being hunted by someone.

The common phantom nannies weren't intelligent enough to understand what was happening. When they sensed the aura of a human approaching, they quickly struggled to rise from the mud, trying to catch Leon, who slid across their territory, and drag him into the muck.

So, behind Leon, numerous arms burst from the surface of the water, waving wildly. One after another, Phantom Nannies were being drawn from the bottom of the lake, staggering and then rushing after him.

But Leon's target wasn't them. No matter how many stupid, low-ranked Phantom Nannies he attracted, there was no way they could pose any threat to the terrifying Lolita pursuing him. Throughout the entire Swamp area, perhaps the only existence that could pose a threat to Lucy was… Sinbad!

With the help of her innate ability, Lucy was floating in the air twenty meters above the ground. Looking at the murky mud and the stinking water spreading all around, the rage on her face was building more and more.

"Hey you! Guy! Listen… Stop running… As long as you take me to the Tower, I promise I won't hurt you!"

With a loud voice, Leon replied without turning around.

"Right! You definitely won't hurt me… Don't use that pretend talk on me… You just want to chop me into pieces of meat… Catch me if you can!"

After that, he continued forward, shouting 'Sinbad' repeatedly as he did so.

"You're courting death… Kid, don't you dare let me catch you… If I catch you…"

"What are you going to do? Will you kidnap me to taste my cock with your sweet, tight loli pussy? If that is the case, I can even think about your case because I am a man of culture. I would really be happy to fill your womb with my dirty sperm. "

Hearing the filthy words Leon uttered, Lucy's forehead began to throb, and a blood vein at the top corner threatened to burst from the horrendous hatred surging in her chest, like poison coursing through her veins.

But before she could do anything, Leon felt something grab his feet tightly as a vine suddenly emerged from the lake and wrapped around both his legs. With that, he lost the support of Wind Elementium and fell into the foul-smelling swamp water.

While Leon struggled desperately, an enormous Phantom Nanny slowly rose from the center of the lake, mounted on an even larger creature that looked like an alligator.

Disheveled, dirty hair; claws with pitch-black, sharp nails; a tattered, torn dress; pale but tough skin; a thin, withered body… This suddenly appeared Phantom Nanny Leader held a simple whip made of vines in her hand and was mounted on a fierce-looking demon. All of this gave her a somewhat valiant appearance.

"Sinbad! Oh Sinbad… You're finally here… hurry and take me away! From now on, I belong to you!" When Leon, barely floating in the foul water, saw this fierce-looking Phantom Nanny Leader, he immediately jumped toward her, excited, as if he had just seen his best friend.

Apparently, this young human, who always came to kidnap members of her own kind, had gone insane. Muttering angrily, Sinbad surfaced to drive away this Apprentice Mage but ended up startled by his actions. Perhaps those common phantom nannies had no idea who this Apprentice Mage was, but as a leader, Sinbad knew everything.

After the Tower was built in the middle of this Swamp, the natives here lost control over their territories, and the place became one of the resource sites for human Mages. Under the rule of the master of this swampy area, the natives here became the human Mages' watchdogs, working for them to drive off any intruders who dared to visit this place.

Despite feeling insulted by their new status, they knew very well how terrifying those human Mages were. Therefore, they were forced to severely endure the fact that their territory was frequently visited by human Apprentice Mages. That wasn't all. Occasionally, Apprentice Mages kidnapped some Phantom Nannies for their experiments, and Sinbad was forced to turn a blind eye to it.

But today, this Apprentice Mage in front of him had gone too far, as he had actually come straight into the heart of the swampy area where most of the Phantom Nannies lived. This filled Sinbad with a whirlwind of rage.

Looking at this young, delicate human who had come to her, Sinbad could no longer contain her hatred for living beings and her craving for fresh flesh. Stretching her pitch-black claws, she reached for his heart, intending to take a bite.

Just as her fingers began to extend, Sinbad suddenly felt a strong and deadly killing intent. She raised her filthy head and looked straight at Lucy with her slightly glowing red eyes.

For some unknown reasons, when Sinbad saw this little girl, she couldn't help but drool. A powerful desire made her want to embrace the girl tightly, and then use her sharp fangs to gently prick the girl's fair, delicate skin, letting that warm, fragrant, sweet blood flow into her cold body.

Especially when she sensed the sweet aura of the soul hidden within the small body. It brought her an indescribable ecstasy.

She did not have the courage to challenge a human Mage, but when an Apprentice Mage, who had such a strong soul aura, was right in front of her, it filled her with desire.

A little Apprentice Mage… If she secretly devoured one, presumably that human Mage in the tower wouldn't become hostile to her? But if he did get angry because of it, Sinbad could still use those useless idiots on the outer perimeter as an excuse. As long as she could savor a delicious Apprentice Mage, five… No, ten… No, twenty.

Sinbad was willing to sacrifice many of her subordinates for this succulent Apprentice before her.

Compared to the floating Lucy, Leon was like old, hard cheese next to a platter full of the richest, freshest foods and was no longer of interest to Sinbad.

Sinbad raised her right hand and slapped the back of the giant lizard beneath her.

"ROARRRRRR~~"

This tame demon opened its mouth and let out a loud roar, shooting a grayish ray from its yellow eyes at Leon's body.

"petrifying..."

This was the innate ability of the Giant Lizard. Being hit at such a close range could turn a mortal into a pathetic stone figure forever. As an Apprentice Mage, Leon had some resistance to magical attacks, but when faced with the mount of the Phantom Nanny Leader, he inevitably turned to stone.

Feeling the gradual numbness and stiffness of his body, Leon quickly grabbed a small potion bottle and tossed it into his mouth, gathering what remained of his energy and waving at Lucy, who hovered just above him. After that, his entire body turned a grayish color, becoming hard as stone as he sank to the bottom of the muddy swamp.

Four Phantom Nannies turned and dove into the murky water, dragging this war trophy toward their nest, located at the bottom of the lake.

Floating in the air, Lucy's beautiful, well-made dress fluttered. She could do nothing as she watched that detestable scoundrel wave at her and disappear into the muddy waters. Indeed, her spatial ability was extremely powerful, but it could only show its strength after she aimed at a specific space with her Spirit.

Since the scoundrel had disappeared into the murky water, there was no way she could target him anymore.

When she realized that to catch that scoundrel she would have to dirty her dress with the filthy water below her, another surge of fury exploded in Lucy's mind.

That scoundrel would rather let those demons capture him than surrender to Lucy… He must have some way of escaping the demons. There was no way she would let him go so easily… She had to catch him and question him about his ability to see her spatial energy!

Full of seething rage, Lucy stretched her right arm forward and grasped the air, aiming at the chest of that powerful Phantom Nanny Leader. Under the disbelieving eyes of her target, a smelly, shriveled, lifeless heart suddenly appeared in Lucy's palm.

Her beautiful, delicate palm gently squeezed, crushing the lifeless, rotten heart. As the old, black blood dripped from her hand, she looked at the Leader with indifferent and cruel eyes, then spoke softly with a threatening tone.

"Give me that Apprentice Mage, or else..." Lucy paused, then continued, saying, "Next time, it will be your brain that gets crushed!"
