Lord Summoner's Freedom Philosophy: Grimoire of Love
Chapter 56 World Of Memories: Lilith Nyx Shyama (2)

(This capital is damn big...) (Lyan)

After summoning his three monsters from the summoning grimoire, Lyan instructed the three of them to get out of the capital and went to the forest in an attempt to level them up and increase their strength. After they travel for about three hours, they finally left the walls of the capital by flying over them.

Even though Lyan keeps on observing the progress of his summoned monsters, he didn't slack on his role as one of the castle guards of the royal castle, and observes the surroundings as well. Along the way, he memorized the layout of the castle and the passages he went, and took a mental note of the sections and parts that are easy to be a hiding spot or a stealth passage inside his mind.

(I got only less than 1 hour left, huh. I would like to find the Lilith in this world as soon as possible, but I guess I'm also interested in the leveling system inside this world. I'll test whether the shadow hobgoblin could get even stronger faster inside here or not, then proceed using him to search for Lilith inside the capital) (Lyan)

Several possibilities and plans crossed Lyan's mind, but there is one major question that needed to be answered before he could make any decisive course of action.

(Where Lilith might actually be?) (Lyan)

Since he's inside the huge world of memories where Lilith once used to live, he needs to know first where Lilith is in order for him to be capable of protecting her. If she's not within his reach or supervision, then there is nothing he could do to prevent her death.

(The first thing to do is the process of elimination, huh...) (Lilith)

Lyan pondered on the information that he currently possesses.

(Lilith is a succubus, but she has the fangs and the eyes of a vampire as well. I vividly remember the place she died, it's somewhere inside a prison, but not underground considering the brightness of the room. It's more like...) (Lyan)

Lyan's eyes wandered through his surroundings, and he stopped in a certain direction.

The great tower behind the royal castle.

(Don't tell me... It's that tower...? Map!) (Lyan)

The map of the castle appeared before Lyan. It showed the places of within the castle, but some of the places like rooms and other secret places are hidden.

(I need to see it first before it will appear on the map, huh... The problem is... The tower or its surroundings are not within my patrolling route... This is a problem...) (Lyan)

Since this is the castle of a kingdom that has such a big capital, the castle guards guarding the castle from inside and outside have quite the amount as well. Judging from his observation, the western part of the castle that is part of his patrolling route alone has about 80 guards guarding and patrolling all over the place.

"But looking at their smiles, the royal family must have a lot of money and generous enough to give them a satisfying amount of salary, huh..." (Lyan)

"You're right! The king and the queen are very generous indeed!" A woman's voice suddenly sounded from behind him.

Lyan turns his back, and when he saw the person, he gave a small bow.

"Captain," (Lyan)

"Since they are very generous, we need to make sure that the golds they gave us are not for vain. So I'll be punishing those who are slacking and not doing their works harshly myself!" The captain of the castle guards, Auretta, said with a stern smile as she put her hand on her hips.

(Whoa... A straightforward woman as the captain of the castle guards, huh...) (Lyan)

"Yes, captain," (Lyan)

"Hm. It seems that you're not slacking. Those who are slacking usually jolted in fear when I said those threatening words. I guess you're one of the honest working guards, huh," Auretta said with a pleased smile.

"I'm not worthy of your praise, captain," Lyan replied humbly.

The thought of getting into Auretta's good side to get the permission to wander towards the castle's royal tower crossed Lyan's mind for a moment, but depending on people's affection when he only has little duration inside the world is too unreliable.

(All I need is to make sure that I didn't get into her bad side) (Lyan)

"Heh! You're a humble one, aren't you, Lyan? Continue the good work," Auretta taps Lyan's back and went on her way.

(She left, huh. An honest and straightforward person, not that I hate it, though) (Lyan)

Lyan continue his patrol, but he suddenly got a calling call from his three summonable monsters.

(Hm? Ah! They finally found some monsters!) (Lyan)

Lyan focused his mind on the sight of the Shadow Hobgoblin, and saw that three of them encountered a group of ten green slimes.

(Hm... Since the shadow hobgoblin's level is quite big enough, the possibility of his level getting increased from killing those green slimes is slim. I guess let's have the Papilio Slime face them!) (Lyan)

Lyan sent his command from his thoughts, commanding the Papilio Slime to finish the green slimes, and the Shadow Hobgoblin and Galewing Butterfly to cover her from behind.

(Now. Let's see how the Papilio Slime faces the green slimes) (Lyan)

The Papilio Slime possesses a great amount of illusion mana and an adequate amount of dark mana. Since her opponent is the green slimes, her poisonous powder might be ineffective as well.

(Oh. She's going) (Lyan)

The Papilio Slime boldly jumps from the tree and enters the sight of the green slimes. As if getting triggered by her presence, the green slimes immediately jumped and approached her, attempting to attack her.

But calmly, the Papilio Slime faces the green slimes without being startled. As Lyan is watching from the shadow hobgoblin's eyes, Lyan saw the Papilio Slime's body got covered by dark mana.

And at the next moment.

*Stab!* *Stab!* *Stab!* *Stab!* *Stab!* *Stab!* *Stab!* *Stab!* *Stab!*

Black spikes appeared from underground, stabbing the green slimes right on their magic cores, killing them immediately. The precision of the black slimes surprised Lyan, but the size of the black spikes surprised him even more.

(Those black spikes are as tall as a person, that spell is too overkill...) (Lyan)

A blue screen suddenly appeared in the corner of Lyan's vision.

[Pilia (Papilio Slime) has leveled up!]

"Oh! She finally leveled up!!" (Lyan)

Lyan glanced at the corner of his sight where the status bars of the summonable monsters could be seen.

[Pilia (Papilio Slime)

Level: 2

HP: 100%/100%]

(I've been wondering for a while... These Pilia, Galia, and Hobu are their given names, huh... I guess I will have to call them by their given names from now. Pilia and Galia are names given by Belle and Xena, huh?) (Lyan)

Lyan focused his mind and saw that the size of Pilia has gotten a little bit bigger than her original size.

(She really got bigger! We still have less than 30 minutes! Let's go find more monsters and level up!!) (Lyan)

Following Lyan's order, the three summonable monsters went deeper into the forest to search for monsters they could kill for them to level up. But after a while, they finally found dozens of direwolves gathering around three corpses of deers.

(Oh. Looks like they are in the middle of their meal. Pilia, time to try your poisonous powders. Galia, you wait for the right moment to finish them off. Hobu, protect the two of them) (Lyan)

The three monsters followed Lyan's orders obediently. Pilia stretched her butterfly wings, and gently flaps them. Slowly, small purple powders started to appear. As if the poisonous powders are following her orders, they slowly went toward the place where the direwolves are eating.

Not long after, one of the direwolves started to stop its moves. The other direwolves stared and wondered about its strange behavior, and the leader of the pack realized that there are something wrong, but it was already too late.

All of them already inhaled the poisonous powders from Pilia's butterfly wings, paralyzing their body.

(Now! Galia!) (Lyan)

Swiftly, Galia flew to the sky and flapped her wings. The force she used on her wings are gentle, but at that moment, the nearby trees suddenly got hit by powerful winds, making the trees drop lots of their leaves.

*Slash!* *Slash!* *Slash!* *Slash!* *Slash!* *Slash!* *Slash!* *Slash!* *Slash!* *Slash!* *Slash!* *Slash!*

The direwolves body suddenly got cleanly sliced into two parts, making the scene bloody.

(Whoa... The two of you are so strong!!) (Lyan)

[Pilia (Papilio Slime) has leveled up!]

[Galia (Galewing Butterfly) has leveled up!]

[Galia (Galewing Butterfly) has leveled up!]

[Galia (Galewing Butterfly) has leveled up!]

(Yes! Now Pilia is level 2 and Galia is level 3! time to-) (Lyan)

Suddenly, a loud voice sounded from the inner castle's gate.

"The queen's leaving the castle!!!!!!"

Lyan is currently at the main gate of the castle which is his original guarding post.

(The queen?) (Lyan)

Lyan shifted his gaze, but the sight of the so-called queen made him widen his eyes.

(L-Lilith!?) (Lyan)
