Why Am I a Priestess When I Reach the Maximum Level?

Vol 4. Chapter 132: Sudden Torrential Rain

Two days later, Violet’s group, which had been forcefully mixed with a certain Miss Spirit Puppet, finally arrived at the outskirts of the Moon Shadow Clan’s territory.

According to the planned schedule, they should have arrived earlier, but on the first afternoon after setting out, Miss Priestess and her companions were unlucky enough to encounter a super typhoon.

The resulting massive flash floods not only blocked the roads but also temporarily delayed their journey due to the heavy rain.

After all, in such dangerous conditions, even mountain wolves, skilled in climbing, would become somewhat risky to maintain their original high speed, especially with people on their backs.

While rain, snow, sunshine, and gloom could not pose a threat to Violet, she was no longer the solitary soul she was when she first arrived in this world, accompanied only by her little dragon girl. She now had to consider the well-being of her relatively weaker companions.

Therefore, they found a nearby cave to camp in, seeking shelter from the rain while studying new routes to avoid the disaster area. They also rested for the night in the cave, waiting for the rain to ease before continuing their journey.

However, luck was not on their side. Just after the brief cessation of the downpour, when Miss Priestess and her group had just arrived at the outskirts of the Moon Shadow Clan’s territory, the sky, already overcast, once again flashed with lightning and thunder, and pouring rain fell like buckets, drenching everything.

“Wow, what’s with this weather... Will it ever stop?”

Violet, shielding herself from the sudden fierce wind and rain with the ?Light Protection? barrier, looked up at the sky somewhat speechlessly while on the back of the mountain wolf.

The rain fell heavily, drumming against the golden curtain, making a rapid tapping sound. Although it couldn’t shake the ?Light Protection? barrier at all, it greatly reduced visibility outside, making it difficult to discern the road ahead.

Like this... it’s impossible to proceed properly. Miss Priestess was somewhat puzzled. Were the weather changes in the Ten Thousand Demons Mountains always so abrupt and severe?

“Lady Violet, using such powerful magic to block the rain... isn’t it a bit wasteful?”

Esther, who had just transformed back into her human form, approached with the nearly inseparable Novia in her arms. She looked around at the hundreds of square meters of huge shield that covered them all, appearing somewhat helpless.

Upon hearing this, Violet turned around, smiling nonchalantly. “That’s not important. By the way, how far are we from the core headquarters of the Moon Shadow Clan?”

The Moon Shadow Clan territory and its core headquarters were two completely different concepts.

Miss Priestess and her group had actually entered the former’s range long ago, but it covered the life radiation range of all the Moon Shadow Clan settlements. The core headquarters, on the other hand, was where the strongest clans and the leaders of the entire race resided.

To put it in perspective, it was like the border of a small country compared to its capital. Although not as daunting as crossing mountains and rivers, it wasn’t as simple as crossing a few mountains either.

“Well... under normal circumstances, with the speed of the mountain wolves, it should take about two to three hours to arrive, but in weather like this, it’s hard to say.”

“Hard to say, huh...”

That meant it would take longer than expected.

In the mountains, once it started raining, not only would the ground become muddy and difficult to traverse, but the greatly reduced visibility was the real problem. That’s why they had temporarily slowed down their journey for stability.

“Is the climate here always like this? Although I’ve traveled to many places, to be honest, this level of rainfall is the first time I’ve seen it.”

Regarding Violet’s question, Esther also seemed somewhat puzzled.

“Of course not. Although continuous rain in the mountains is common, the scale is usually not too large. Rainstorms that can even trigger flash floods like this are rare. I’ve lived in the mountains for over a hundred years, and I’ve hardly seen it happen.”

She smiled helplessly.

“Perhaps Lady Violet, you just happened to catch a rare event that only occurs once every few decades.”

“I see... That’s really unlucky.”

Miss Priestess smiled without commenting further. Seeing that the conversation seemed to come to an end for the moment, Leila, who was sitting beside Violet on the mountain wolf, took the initiative to inquire on behalf of everyone.

“Lady Violet, should we continue forward? Or should we take shelter from the rain like we did yesterday?”

“Of course, we should continue forward. If this damn rain keeps falling, should we just stop and do nothing? It’s just some natural phenomenon. If we really want to solve it, there are ways... ”

Before Violet could finish her sentence, a certain puppet girl who had been inconspicuously sitting in the corner with Theresa suddenly burst out, leaping in front of them in a dash, seizing the topic without hesitation.

“That’s right! As long as we use my confident creation—’Multifunctional Travel Assistant No. 71?, all the problems can be easily solved!”

“?”

Everyone had a big question mark over their heads at the same time.

“Hey, adults talk. Brats shouldn’t interrupt.”

Miss Priestess disdainfully shooed her away, intending to continue the conversation, but immediately, Eilush, dissatisfied, protested loudly.

“Hey, who are you calling a brat? I’m over two hundred years old, okay? And shouldn’t you be asking me at a time like this, what functions does ‘Multifunctional Travel Assistant No. 71’ have, and how to use it? What kind of attitude is this? Damn it!”

“Huh? Who needs your weird device that sounds unreliable at first listen? It’s just a bit of rain, don’t make things more complicated, you fool!”

“I can’t accept such slander at all! What do you mean it sounds unreliable at first listen? Hey! My ‘Multifunctional Travel Assistant No. 71’ has undergone numerous theoretical and practical tests, proving its excellent performance in various environments. How could it possibly make things more complicated?!”

“No, it’s too obvious, isn’t it? Just a flying wing, and someone failed thousands of times before. This thing with a number less than a hundred is hard to believe it’s not some unfinished prototype still in testing...”

“You know nothing! Can they be compared? I, I, I can’t explain it to you! Anyway, my ‘Multifunctional Travel Assistant No. 71’ has absolutely no problems in performance. If you don’t believe it, try it yourself!”

“Tsk.”

Although it felt troublesome, seeing Eilush so confident and determined, and considering it was her first time bringing out those ‘inventions’ for use, Miss Violet ultimately decided to temporarily set aside her prejudice against her and give her a chance.

“Fine, fine, let’s give it a try. But let me make it clear first, if anything goes wrong, you’re responsible for fixing it yourself. I won’t help clean up the mess.”

“Hehe, don’t worry, don’t worry! In terms of safety, it’s absolutely foolproof!”

Finally getting the nod from Miss Priestess, the puppet girl, who had been so eager during the argument, cheerfully rummaged through her pile of packages, finally pulling out a small, black metal tablet that looked rather shabby, about the size of a laptop.

“Ta-da! This is it, one of my proud inventions, the ‘Multifunctional Travel Assistant No. 71’! Perfect for traveling, home use, hit-and-run, and even murder!”

“Are you being serious or not...?”
