Chapter 93: Sensitive Nerve Poison
L (Female)’s ability is brutal, yet surprisingly effective, even possessing functionalities that most flashy abilities lack.
Her powers can almost perfectly complement each other, easily surpassing any combination of fragmented skills through mutual interaction.
The three abilities of the Desire Witch, each formidable on their own, do not match the combined effect of L (Female).
However, her strength lies in her comprehensiveness, equipped with area control and mental attacks that L (Female) cannot rival.
L (Female) is indeed powerful in solo combat, but it’s challenging to find an appropriate opening; she can’t fight her with her eyes closed.
“Just fight her with your eyes closed; I can be your eyes.”
The trembling voice of Sumu appeared in L (Female)’s mind, causing her form to momentarily hesitate.
Why do I feel like her state is a bit…?
That delicate voice sounded as if it contained a lollipop, so sweet that it was utterly irresistible.
No, no, this is a battle, not flirting; I need to focus.
Thinking this, and out of trust in Sumu, L (Female) quietly closed her eyes.
If visual contact with her would result in an impact, keeping her eyes open was not wise.
Magic can create mirrors without the corresponding ability, meaning she might get hit in any unguarded moment.
Therefore, it’s always best to be cautious, especially since this is a battle that risks rationality.
The colorful world dimmed, isolated from L (Female)’s perception, while the buzzing around her became increasingly harsh, and the fierce wind brushing against her skin brought waves of clear coolness.
This was a familiar sensation experienced countless times before sleep; when a certain sense was abandoned, the remaining perceptions occupied more thoughts, becoming more concrete, more detailed, and even developed to levels that were originally unattainable.
Sumu hated the noise coming through the walls when she slept in the rental house and the vibrations caused by vehicles speeding on the road; at those times, she wished she could plug her ears even tighter.
But now L (Female) had to rely on her remaining senses to reconstruct a comprehensive perception that could keep up with the tense battle.
This was not easy, but with Sumu providing real-time information, it could be accomplished.
L (Female) held her breath and focused. In the next moment, a new vision formed under her closed eyelids, composed of sound, tactile sensations, magical perception, and information.
She could perceive the outlines and edges of everything around her, feeling the restless movement of those tentacles. With a sound slicing through the air, a long dark shadow lunged toward her body, but she easily sidestepped it.
However, the Desire Witch would not miss this excellent opportunity when she was still finding her bearings. Countless tentacles surged toward her, enveloping her, but immediately afterward, an ice-blue blade shot forth suddenly from the black web covering her.
With several powerful slashes, all the tentacles could only helplessly crawl at L (Female)’s feet, and the reemerging L (Female) smoothly halted her final strike, pointing the tip of her blade toward the Desire Witch.
“Degree of Corruption: 57%”
On the other side, Sumu was desperately holding back the restlessness within her. She was melting quite seriously; fortunately, this was a dream, and she could hide well in the box, so it wasn’t a problem to shed her clothes.
Just that body outside had to hold on, at least her pants must stay up!
In this state, she still needed to provide information support to L (Female); Sumu had to admire herself.
“There are tentacles hidden one meter beneath your feet.”
L (Female) leaped high, and the ground she landed on cracked easily under her force, causing those tentacles to become trapped beneath the distorted floor.
This time, her attack successfully tore through the Desire Witch’s line again, surging with immense power, about to penetrate that fragile mass of tentacles.
“Open your eyes wide; I’ll count to three.”
At that moment, the Desire Witch’s voice reached her ears, and the familiar tone made her subconsciously tremble, her long eyelashes fluttering for a moment. Though she didn’t open her eyes, she hesitated for an instant.
In that instant, the Desire Witch had the opportunity to organize a counterattack. The tentacles on her surface suddenly secreted countless pink mists. By its color, the dispersion of the poison could be easily identified, but for L (Female) at that moment, it was not so simple; it even took considerable time to detect something unusual.
“She’s releasing toxins; get back!”
“Detected target releasing nerve poison: Can penetrate magic power, infiltrating the body through breathing or skin contact, producing various negative effects such as hypnosis, debilitation, inducing hallucinations, and sensory disorientation.”
However, L (Female) momentarily had no suitable leverage to utilize, having no choice but to twist in the air and deliver a heavy kick against the Desire Witch’s tentacle. Both were forced apart, rapidly bouncing away in opposite directions.
In that short time, quite a bit of toxin had seeped through the magical military uniform, infiltrating L (Female)’s bloodstream, imposing various negative effects on her.
But this was not the end because the Desire Witch had long anticipated this outcome, hence hiding her poisonous abilities, waiting for L (Female) to lower her guard to launch a swift attack, forming an inescapable predicament.
Tentacles, already spread throughout the venue, began to uniformly release toxins, particularly evident in the direction L (Female) was heading. The area welcoming her had everything, including air and magic, completely replaced by the enchanting pink mist, always ready to wrap her entirely.
“There’s a large amount of toxin behind you, quick, wrap your body tight and hold your breath!”
Although both Sumu and L (Female) had been aware of the toxins from early on, they were quite helpless about it, as they had no good means to cope.
Sumu initially wanted to use the handheld game console to eliminate the toxins, but the console informed her that such action would lead to an extremely large consumption of magic power, likely doubling her corruption rate.
Although fully falling into corruption in this confined space wouldn’t have consequences, disconnecting from L (Female) at this moment clearly seemed unwise.
At least she had to hold on until the anger accumulation was complete.
The conceptual entity of the Desire Witch was relatively difficult to eradicate. Without activating her anger, L (Female) had no confidence in delivering a fatal blow to her.
Thus, she had no choice but to endure the erosion; it was not the right time to panic.
On the other side, after being engulfed by the toxins, L (Female) immediately followed Sumu’s advice, attempting to avoid contact with the toxins as much as possible. But the next moment, she was shocked by the intense heat and sensitivity radiating from her whole body.
The far-off Desire Witch heavily landed at the boundary of the Martial Arts Hall, stuck in the wall, appearing quite disheveled, but she poked her head out from the protection of the tentacles, revealing a charming smile.
She had calculated from the start to force L (Female) to close her eyes to avoid the demise of her gaze, enhancing her tactile sensation.
And in a situation where the tactile sense was already extremely sensitive, being injected with a toxin that doubled her body’s sensitivity—what kind of results would that lead to?
