Chapter: Chapter 312
“There was a battle here too. The battle ended about half a day ago.” Crouching on the ground, the white-haired girl picked up a handful of black soil and said to the black-haired girl who was resting while leaning against a large tree beside her.
Hearing the girl’s voice, the girl’s eyelids moved. “Is that so? It seems we’re getting closer.”
From a gap of about a day at first, to half a day now, all this indicated to the two girls that they were gradually catching up to Xiao Ya, who had taken the lead.
At this rate, they should be able to catch up to Xiao Ya ahead of them by evening.
Letitia opened her eyes. In her vision, there were some black substances remaining on this battlefield, as well as a small amount of magic she was very familiar with.
It was Kira’s magic. Kira had also participated in the battle here.
So, what kind of role did Kira play? Was she the princess? But the prince didn’t have the princess’s full trust at this time.
Or had the story changed, causing Kira to give her token to Xiao Ya in advance?
Anything was possible. This world was so vast, and one couldn’t rely on what was already known to make deductions. In the original story, Xiao Ya didn’t have her two sisters chasing after her.
In that story, the King of the Prince’s country and the King of the Princess’s country were just background characters, but now, at least the King of the Prince’s country had appeared, and he was still thinking of chasing the prince back.
“Hoo, I’ve rested enough. Let’s continue… Huh?” Feeling that her dizziness had lessened considerably, Letitia was about to call Bai Ling to hurry up and move, but something unusual in her magical vision interrupted her.
Those residual black auras somehow became stronger as if they had received some supplement.
After a few breaths, even Bai Ling could see this strange black mist.
Something unusual always indicates an abnormality. Bai Ling immediately ran to Letitia, grabbed the black-haired girl’s hand, and pulled her back to a distance.
“What is that?” Bai Ling asked, frowning as she stared at the writhing black mist.
Letitia didn’t know the answer to this question, but she could guess what it was. “Perhaps, we have to face the enemy that your sister dealt with again.”
As soon as Letitia finished speaking, a fierce-looking black monster shattered the black mist around it and appeared before the two of them.
With six eyes meeting, both sides immediately confirmed that their relationship was one of enemies, not friends.
“You step back. I’ll handle this monster.” Bai Ling immediately drew her sword and stood in front of Letitia. Feeling the powerful force surging from within her body, she was now very confident.
If her unworthy sister could defeat this monster, how could she, as the older sister, fail?
“Roar!” The monster didn’t have so many thoughts. It only knew that its mission was to drive away all foreign creatures. It had been killed once just now, but it was a magical creation. As long as there was a supply of magic, it could revive after a period of time after death.
One death didn’t make this brainless monster afraid. It stared at the two little bugs in front of it and chose to attack without hesitation.
Although it had just revived, it was in its peak condition. It wasn’t like some stories that said a revived being would be in a weakened state for a period of time.
It’s just two little bugs; it could smash them into meat patties with one charge!
That’s what it thought.
The ideal was full, but reality was very skinny. The fact that this monster could be instantly killed by Kira’s long-range magic attack already indicated that its combat power was not that strong.
As for the gap in strength between Kira and Letitia and Bai Ling… those who understand, understand.
“It’s just right to practice with you.” Bai Ling held her Star Sword horizontally in front of her and closed her eyes.
A magnificent starry sky began to spread out with her as the center, encompassing both Letitia and the black monster.
How far was Bai Ling from the black monster just now?
It was probably an amount of time that the monster could charge over in a few seconds.
But now, the distance between the monster and Bai Ling had been infinitely extended. No matter how hard the monster charged, it couldn’t touch the white-haired girl who seemed to be within reach.
“This special effect… is outrageous.” Looking up at the beautiful starry sky above, Letitia also felt that Bai Ling was outrageously over the top in some aspects. It seemed that every time this girl used a skill, it came with such a full-screen special effect.
If Letitia’s combat style was considered flashy, then Bai Ling’s could only be called “burning through the budget.” These piles of special effects were much stronger than Letitia’s simple elemental flashes.
Bai Ling didn’t hear Letitia’s complaint. Even if she did, she wouldn’t care. At this moment, she was completely immersed in the battle. The only thing in her eyes was the monster.
Gripping the Star Sword, which felt as heavy as a mountain, Bai Ling looked at the sword that was filled with starlight. She felt that this sword might be able to kill the monster directly.
“Hoo, the star river surges!” Shouting out the name she temporarily gave to the move, Bai Ling swung the sword hard at the black monster.
In an instant, it seemed that only the river of light swung by Bai Ling remained in the entire starry sky. The river of starlight, carrying an unstoppable might, surged towards the black monster, swallowing everything in its path.
Looking at the tide of light rushing towards him, a hint of confusion flashed in the black monster’s eyes. Was it necessary to use such a terrifying skill to deal with a small fry like him?
It wasn’t necessary. He was just a minor monster blocking the way.
In the next moment, the monster was swallowed by the flow of light. It couldn’t resist at all, nor could it resist at all.
The surging star river lasted for nearly half a minute, and the monster had been completely destroyed by the flow of light in the first second.
Yes, completely destroyed.
This monster could no longer revive. Its existence was completely erased by the star river.
“Outrageous…” Letitia stared blankly at everything in front of her. She couldn’t figure out whether this was Bai Ling’s inherent strength or if she had gained some bonus in the dream.
If she, at her peak, were standing in front of this river of light, how long could she last?
Three seconds? Or five seconds? She definitely wouldn’t last ten seconds.
And Bai Ling had just unleashed thirty seconds!
Even, judging by her current state, she still seemed to have some lingering desire.
“It’s dead already?” Putting her sword back into its sheath, the white-haired girl licked her lips. She thought this monster could hold on for a while longer, but it turned out to be so weak.
What a disappointment.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. Not a trace left, not even the possibility of resurrection.” Just by glancing at the spot where the monster disappeared, Letitia made a judgment. Bai Ling’s sword had completely destroyed the monster that was supposed to be immortal.
Although this sword looked terrifying, the damage it caused to the surroundings was extremely minimal. It only left a gully between Bai Ling and the monster.
A few wisps of starlight remained in the gully. At this moment, they no longer possessed their previous terror. They lay quietly on the ground, waiting for the dissipation that would inevitably come.
Letitia walked forward and scooped up a bit of starlight. These light spots seemed to have a physical form as she held them in her palm. This was also a rare opportunity for her to observe the starlight up close.
In reality, Bai Ling, who was good at controlling her attacks, rarely left these things behind after attacking. Letitia also couldn’t bring herself to ask Miss Bai to release some starlight for her to study.
Finally, she found an opportunity today.
“Extremely concentrated energy bodies? They are fundamentally different from human superpowers.” I don’t know if it was due to the dream, but Letitia didn’t think the starlight released by Bai Ling was a human superpower. This level of energy completely surpassed the upper limit of superpowers that humans could control.
Even the magic that Letitia possessed could not compare to Bai Ling’s starlight.
No wonder she was beaten by Bai Ling. It turned out they were not on the same level at all.
“Did you figure something out?” Bai Ling walked to Letitia’s side and asked. She was also curious about the power she had suddenly obtained. Seeing Letitia staring at the starlight in a daze, she thought Letitia had figured something out.
“I figured out some things. You are very strong now, outrageously strong.” Letitia sprinkled the starlight in her hand back onto the ground and then shook her head. “Other than that, I don’t know any more.”
“Is that so?” Bai Ling’s face showed a hint of confusion at Letitia’s answer. Since her power came from Letitia, why would Letitia not know the details of this power?
It was very strange.
“We’ll have plenty of time to dwell on this later. Let’s hurry up. If we delay any longer, it will be difficult to catch up to your sister.” Letitia patted Bai Ling’s shoulder, indicating that this was not something to worry about. The most important thing now was to catch up to Xiao Ya.
If she calculated the time, Xiao Ya’s team should have encountered the witch for the first time by now.
After defeating the black monster, Xiao Ya would confront the witch head-on due to curiosity. It was during this confrontation that the witch developed a small interest in the prince.
As for what this small interest was?
Did she even need to ask? In this story revolving around the prince, what else could it be?
Love.
It’s just that the Prince couldn’t feel the Witch’s affection right now.
*Slap!* With a crisp sound, the girl in splendid clothes was knocked to the ground by the seven-colored maiden with a stick.
After rolling around ungracefully on the ground for a few circles, the girl finally managed to stand up. She looked at her teammates who had been hypnotized by the witch’s abilities at the beginning of the battle and sighed helplessly.
One-on-one, she had no ability to fight one-on-one at all.
Looking at the girl who looked very similar to her best friend in memory, Xiao Ya took a deep breath. “Xiao Meng, you really don’t recognize me? I’m Xiao Ya!”
If she couldn’t win, then all she could do was try to persuade her with words, right?
But her persuasion obviously didn’t have much effect. The girl didn’t pay attention to what she was saying at all. In her eyes, this black-haired girl was a very strange person.
Her magic had no effect on her, but her close-combat ability was even worse than her own, who excelled in magic. Even if she could only use this stick, she could easily kill this girl.
But for some reason, every time she wanted to deliver a fatal blow, she would feel an urge to hold back. As a result, the sharp stick aimed at her chest would miss, and the stick aimed at her head would slow down, allowing Xiao Ya to catch it.
Although Xiao Ya appeared to be getting beaten quite badly, in reality, she had never been in any real danger.
“I don’t know you. I’ve never known you,” the girl said in a low voice. “Since I can’t kill you, then…”
Before she could finish speaking, a sharp pain suddenly came from her chest.
“Ugh…” Covering her chest, the girl suddenly coughed out a mouthful of blood. Her summoned creature had been completely killed?
That black monster was an undead creature that she had summoned with great effort. Even Kira’s previous magic hadn’t completely killed it, but now, the monster that had just revived had been completely killed?
Who did it? Who could do such a thing?
At the moment of the summon’s death, a portion of the damage received by the summon would be transferred to the girl. As for the damage sustained by that black monster, it could only be said to be a tiny bit too much.
Even after multiple weakenings, if she was caught off guard, the girl couldn’t possibly not suffer any damage.
Even now, her internal organs had been messed up by the attack transmitted through the contract.
No, she couldn’t fight in this state. The girl’s thoughts raced. If she were to fight with this girl here, the person who killed her summoned creature might catch up.
The person who could completely kill the black monster was definitely stronger than the girl in front of her. Even if she was the strongest witch, she might not be able to defeat that person in this injured state.
She had to leave!
With this thought, she immediately turned around, intending to leave using teleportation magic.
But in her thought process, she overlooked a very important issue.
Xiao Ya was not a puppet.
Seeing Zi Meng about to escape, Xiao Ya immediately pounced on her. She only knew that the best option now was to keep this girl here, no matter what.
Her sword had already been knocked away, and all that was available now was her body.
And her body was Xiao Ya’s strongest weapon.
Her physical fitness, which had been greatly enhanced in the dream, combined with the forbidden magic ability that the white-haired woman had temporarily stimulated through some unknown method, gave Xiao Ya a super advantage against the girl at this moment.
Just as the girl’s figure blurred and was about to disappear, Xiao Ya pounced in front of the girl and tightly hugged her with both arms.
The girl’s blurry figure immediately solidified. Held by Xiao Ya, she instantly lost her perception of magic.
