Chapter 64: Lonis’s Scheme
“I risked everything to let you all escape from here.”
“But why, why do you still want to come back?”
“Not only did you not reach the finish line, but you all got lost in this cursed place…”
“Heh heh…”
“If death is an unavoidable ending, then let everyone be buried here.”
—————-
Following the vines, Lonis gradually arrived at a serene place.
Here grew colorful corals and graceful seaweed… The gentle sunlight, refracted through the plants, created a magnificent spectacle.
Looking around, the surroundings were filled with the charm of a fairy tale world.
Fish also swam freely in mid-air, and occasionally, mist condensed into water pillars the size of fists, drifting wantonly in the low sky.
It should have been a very beautiful environment, but at this moment, an alarm sounded from the ship.
“Alarm, alarm, high-intensity special body detected.”
Blinding red light echoed in the cockpit, but to the girls’ surprise, even with the Time Shuttle’s detection capabilities, they couldn’t determine where the enemy was approaching from.
Lian Lan gripped the long sword in her hand and said nervously:
“Oh no, Hero Lonis! That guy Nelson might have already infiltrated the ship.”
“Oh~~”
“Please be careful and stay by my side. Otherwise, I won’t be able to judge Nelson’s intentions or guarantee your safety.”
Lian Lan was wary of their surroundings, but Lonis, as if regaining the confidence of a hero, raised her head and said:
“Haha, protection? Miss Lian Lan, don’t worry, I don’t need protection at all.”
“Eh?”
“Since I could defeat Anran, I can easily defeat Nelson. This guy infiltrating my ship makes me very unhappy~~~ so I must get rid of him!”
“Miss Lonis?!”
“Lian Lan, just watch!”
……
Lonis chanted a spell, and then, a Crystal Cold Dagger appeared in her hand.
The sharp blade emitted wisps of chilling air, and the silver-haired girl, without the slightest hesitation, ignored Lian Lan’s warning and ran out of the cockpit!
“Your Highness, please don’t run around! Nelson is very dangerous!”
Seeing this, Lian Lan’s face showed panic, because Nelson was a master assassin in life, and now he should be almost completely hidden in the shadows, making his location undetectable.
So Lian Lan desperately chased after her. Originally, this girl’s pace should have been slightly faster than Lonis, but she had just recovered from a serious illness, and she was unfamiliar with the ship’s structure.
As a result,
Lian Lan was still a step too late.
When she arrived in the living room, she saw a horrifying sight.
Lonis’s chest had been pierced by a sword.
Crimson blood continuously streamed from the girl’s chest, dripping onto the ground.
Lonis was full of astonishment, seemingly unable to believe that she could be killed so easily.
“How, how is this possible… My Crystal Cold Dagger, why…”
“Heh, what a reckless man? Thinking you could eliminate me all by yourself, you’re really young.”
Standing beside Lonis was a man with a cold expression.
He was about 1.8 meters tall, but his decaying body was covered with various shells, and his skin looked swollen and pale, like the body of someone who had drowned.
“Nelson, what are you doing!”
Seeing this, Lian Lan also gripped the sword in her hand.
Although the girl wanted to step forward and save Lonis,
Lian Lan also knew that in a duel between experts, even the slightest flaw could be fatal… She had to kill Nelson as quickly as possible to help Lonis.
……
However, Nelson’s reaction was beyond Lian Lan’s expectation:
“What am I doing? Aren’t I doing exactly what you all wanted?”
“!”
“I want everyone to die, I want my companions to reunite… It’s our promise, isn’t it?”
Nelson looked up, his gaze as cold as a corpse.
“Nelson… you’ve gone mad!”
“That’s right, I’m not mad. You’re the one who’s mad, Lian Lan. You’re willing to endure the pain of the curse rather than join us? Hahaha, then let me kill you too.”
Nelson seemed to have truly gone mad.
His words were nonsensical, and he simply brandished his rusty tetanus longsword and lunged at Lian Lan!
Lian Lan immediately blocked… Although in the past her strength had surpassed Nelson’s, under the enhancement of the curse, the girl was shaken back a step.
(Has this guy’s strength increased so much? It’s hard for me, who has just recovered from a serious injury, to defeat him in a short time!)
Lian Lan frowned, appearing to be suppressed.
And Nelson, he laughed ferociously, attacking continuously, trying to turn the girl before him into powder.
“Lian Lan, stop struggling and be with us. Haha, Hahahaha!!!!!”
“!”
Just as Lian Lan was struggling to fend him off and her body was becoming tired,
a silvery-white figure moved.
She moved so silently, the sharp Crystal Cold Dagger shot out like a dart, heading straight for Nelson.
“!”
At this moment, Nelson’s entire attention was focused on Lian Lan, so how could he have expected Lonis, who had been stabbed through the chest, to attack?
He wanted to turn to block, but at this moment, he involuntarily created an opening.
“Residual Sword!”
Lian Lan naturally did not miss this fleeting opportunity. The girl took a swift step forward and swung the blade in her hand!
And in this lightning-fast strike… Nelson, with an expression of astonishment, fell to the ground.
What was going on?
It turned out that after hearing Nelson’s abilities, Lonis had devised this battle method.
For elusive assassin enemies like Nelson, if they are allowed to hide continuously, their side will be at a constant disadvantage… So the best method is to lure the snake out of its hole.
And in this way, the best bait would be herself.
Because Lonis’s body had infinite healing abilities, even if her head was pierced into mincemeat, she could recover. And while she was on the verge of death, Lian Lan could defeat the opponent!
……
This tactic was also the most effective tactic that Lonis could adopt after creating this body.
Because she wouldn’t die, she could employ various life-risking tactics. But the actual situation was… Elus would never let her take risks.
Although that black-hearted girl always bullied her, when facing Silent Leaf, she would rather be seriously injured herself than let this little fox encounter danger.
Therefore…
Wife is a tsundere, huh?
But this tsundere is not by her side now. She wonders if she will feel heartbroken seeing her like this?
Hmm…
Wait for me, my tsundere big sister!
I’ll be able to find you soon!
