Chapter 75: Battle of Time · Middle
The moment Elus pressed the second button, Lonis, startled, hugged her chest, thinking she was about to be electrocuted!
Because using poison to fight poison was still a method at this time, right?
As long as she leveled up to level 8 or level 9, she would enter a state of mana collapse, and she wouldn’t be able to care about such a curse.
However…
After Elus pressed the button, Lonis only felt her body suddenly become incredibly ethereal!
Whether she moved forward or backward, it felt so light. And the cursed accessories on her body had almost all vanished without a trace.
“Elus, th-this is…”
“Hmph, little idiot, the curse is gone, you can go all out with your attack… but don’t let everyone’s efforts go to waste.”
“Everyone’s efforts.”
“That’s right. The current situation is that everyone is using the power of their heart connection to transfer the curse for you. So if you think you’re invincible and go to die, I won’t forgive you!”
“Ahhh!”
…
It was then that Lonis noticed that Elus’s wrist seemed to have gained an accessory like a cursed ring.
It appeared that her companions and Elus were now bearing the brunt of the curse power transformed by Hong Yuan for her.
So she…
…
“Damn monster, you can hurt me, but you’re not allowed to hurt my companions!”
…
Should Lonis be called a masochist, or was she naturally inclined to protect cute girls?
When Lonis was attacked herself, she didn’t care too much, and even felt like confronting the monster head-on, defeating it through a method of “blood exchange.”
However, when she thought of her companions being bullied, Lonis wouldn’t do that at all.
Her spirit became incredibly focused, and because of that….
She instantly judged the monster’s location.
…
Here!
The Frost Dagger shot out diagonally, accurately piercing the monster’s throat. With a faint, hoarse sound, the monster’s head was also cut off by Lonis.
“Did it work?”
“No, not yet!”
…
Although she had severed the monster’s head, at that moment, Lonis saw the monster’s lineup.
It was none other than…
General Kru, the first enemy the girls had killed on their journey.
…
“I didn’t expect that I would actually have a chance for revenge…”
“What?!”
“Since that’s the case, then let you all know the pain of being scalded by lava.”
…
Even with only its head remaining, Kru was still sneering.
An indescribable passive ability flashed, and then the world around Lonis began to shatter like fragments.
And the world that finally appeared…
had turned back into that underground prison, intertwined with flames and sin.
…
…

…
(Is… is this an illusion?!)
At first, Lonis thought she had fallen into an illusion.
But then, she realized she was still wearing that beautiful wedding dress, and Elus was standing behind her.
Kru roared and, with earth-shattering strides, charged straight from afar.
…
“Elus?”
“Lonis, get out of the way quickly.”
…
Although Elus tried to push Lonis away, the black-haired girl’s movements were much slower now.
Not only had she lost her usual speed and grace, but she was even staggering a bit—to the point that Kru’s charge not only hit Lonis but also sent Elus flying.
…
“Wuwu! Elus!”
A violent impact transferred from her internal organs. Lonis thought she could use the Rainbow Abyss Power to ignore the pain after a moment’s rest.
But then, she discovered…
Not only had Elus become sluggish, but even the Rainbow Abyss Power within her had completely “disappeared.”
No matter how much she meditated, she couldn’t summon those powerful Rainbow Abyss weapons, and this ordinary impact alone caused severe damage to her body.
…
(Could it be…)
…
Lonis was stunned, and only then did she remember that when she attacked General Kru back then, she had nothing, no magic power, and no skills.
Completely unarmed, she was just a burden to the black-haired girl!
“Elus, are you okay?”
“Mm, this seems like a space-time node space that we can’t understand… If we don’t defeat this Kru, we won’t be able to return to normal!”
“Wh-what should we do?!”
“I’ll try, but even the Annihilation Sword…”
…
Elus struggled to stand up, attempting to draw out the black sword to fight Kru to the death.
However, not only was the Annihilation Sword gone, but her pristine white skin was already covered in bloody marks, as if she had been sliced a thousand times, a shocking sight.
…
Looking at this scene, Lonis also remembered. After defeating Kru, Elus had been seriously injured and only survived thanks to the healing of the Fiery Abyss Temple.
But now…
Had Elus been seriously injured before even defeating Kru?
In that case…
…
“Lonis, step back. I’ll figure something out.”
“!”
Seeing Elus stagger to her feet, Lonis knew she couldn’t hesitate any longer.
This idiotic princess must be overexerting herself. So at this moment, only she could protect Elus.
Therefore…
…
“Kru, die for me!”
…
Although she no longer had the power of the Rainbow Abyss, Lonis still had the ability of infinite resurrection.
So she picked up a stone and charged towards Kru’s belly. The petite and delicate silver-haired girl prepared to replicate Elus’s previous method and deliver a “thousand-year-old kill” to Kru.
But…
…
“Hahaha, die!”
“What!”
…
Kru’s power was simply too immense.
To the point that Lonis’s desperate attack was no match for him at all. Before the girl could even take a step, she was hit directly in the stomach by Kru’s giant blade. The immense impact sent Lonis flying backward like a home run baseball.
“Lonis!”
“Wuwu!”
…
The girl’s body shattered multiple stone pillars… With just one blow, Kru caused Lonis to break all her bones.
Although she wanted to get up, her fractured ribs seemed to have pierced her heart and lungs, and the broken thigh bone sent a pain like hanging.
…
“Damn it, how dare you hurt my idiot fox!”
…
Seeing Lonis injured, Elus couldn’t contain herself.
She forcefully suppressed her “injuries” and tried to maneuver and engage in hit-and-run tactics with Kru… However, due to her natural disadvantage in physical strength, even with Elus’s rich experience, she was still at a disadvantage.
If this continued, Elus’s defeat was only a matter of time.
…
…

…
Watching Elus’s battle, Lonis was very anxious.
…
(Damn it, how could this happen… Why did we suddenly come here?)
(If this continues, both Elus and I will be killed. What will happen if we are killed? Will we escape from this space, or will… our fate be rewritten?)
…
Lonis felt uneasy. She knew she had to do something, but because of this completely unknown predicament, Lonis racked her brains, unable to think of any power that could be used at this moment.
However, at this critical juncture…
…
Lonis’s gaze inadvertently fell upon something.
And if her prediction was correct, that thing might be the key to victory.
