A moment later, the anomalies and surging aura on the bodies of the three maids gradually subsided, and their imposing pressure became more noble.
Xi Wei knew.
This wasn’t just because of the improvement in their strength.
It was also because they were getting closer to godhood.
However, it seemed that entering the third stage of awakening would be even more difficult.
He had this premonition.
“Master.”
You Ye opened her eyes.
She was the first to regain clarity from her enlightenment.
Her dark eyes were like the deep night, even more profound. Compared to before, You Ye now possessed an unfathomable elegance, and a graceful black cat sat on her shoulder.
“This is?”
Xi Wei looked at the black cat on You Ye’s shoulder with some confusion.
He was certain.
You Ye had not brought the cat with her when she entered.
“This is Ye. It’s a Companion Beast born from my second stage awakening. It can turn into shadows and help me fight. As for its combat power…”
“It should be comparable to a newly promoted Champion Knight.”
You Ye’s tone was very calm.
There was no trace of fluctuation, as if she were discussing “three pounds of cabbage for one copper coin on the street” with Xi Wei.
Xi Wei:ರ_ರ ???
How could she say something so terrifying so casually?
Did You Ye’s second stage evolution only produce a cat, with no improvement to herself?
With a question in his mind, Xi Wei decided to personally check You Ye’s new abilities.
Her level reached 61, the second stage of awakening, slightly lower than Lolli and Ruo Yi, as expected, a mediocre result.
However, most of her skills had been replaced.
Spirit Cat Mimicry had become [Edict – Night].
This was a skill to summon a Companion Beast to fight.
The Companion Beast could also absorb damage for You Ye, and would re-nurture itself in shadows after death.
As long as You Ye did not die.
Theoretically, the Companion Beast “Ye” would not die.
Shadow Step had become [Edict – Concealment].
Previously, You Ye could hide in shadows. Now, using this skill allowed her to enter stealth at any time, only revealing herself when attacked or when attacking.
Dark Stab had become [Edict – Fatal Blow].
After entering the Edict – Concealment state, she could evade most damage within ten seconds. Every two seconds, she could lock onto a target. After three locks, the target would enter the “sky binding” state, reducing their speed by 50%.
Targets that were sky-bound could be subjected to Shadow Stab, which dealt massive damage that could not be defended against and left the target in a weakened state.
…
These were the descriptions of You Ye’s skills from the system panel.
Perhaps You Ye herself did not understand her skills that well.
She used them purely on instinct.
It had to be said.
You Ye’s second stage awakening had given Xi Wei a great surprise.
This cat-eared girl had completely transformed from a petty thief into a top-tier assassin!
The Black Sword she used for assassination back then couldn’t even compare. Although assassins had fragile bodies and often had to go deep behind enemy lines, You Ye now had a Companion Beast to help her.
This could be said to have compensated for her last shortcoming.
“You Ye, you’ve done a great job. You should rest for a while, and you can also practice your new abilities. We’ll be setting off soon.”
Xi Wei was very pleased.
The stronger his maids were, the stronger he was.
The days of lying down and being lazy seemed to be just around the corner. At least now, the lineup of Lolli, Ruo Yi, and You Ye already made him feel a little strained.
“Yes, Master. Then I will withdraw for now. If you need anything, just call me.”
A gentle smile bloomed on You Ye’s lips. She bowed, holding the ends of her maid dress, and silently retreated out of the room.
She was still waiting for Bai Yao.
…
“Crackle crackle!”
The sound of violent electricity reached his ears.
Xi Wei turned his head, pulling his gaze away from You Ye’s slender waist.
The entire room had turned into a sea of lightning.
Fortunately, these erratic currents were still under Bai Yao’s control, and no one was harmed.
“Mwahahaha! Master! I feel invincible now!”
At the center of the lightning field, Bai Yao was wrapped in golden lightning dragons. Her pair of stormy wings almost filled the entire room.
The scene was as flamboyant as could be.
Xi Wei didn’t argue with the cheerful Bai Yao. This little girl had a childish personality. Although she was a bit mischievous, she had a sense of proportion.
Her new abilities were very simple.
They were [Edict – Overload], [Edict – Magnetic Field Blast], and [Edict – Extreme Voltage].
Her other passive skills remained unchanged.
She only had Magnetic Field Blast as her offensive skill.
The other two edicts were to enhance her overall capabilities.
She was another individual focused on extreme damage output.
And she was a very standard lightning mage.
“Master, why are you staring at me blankly? Why aren’t you speaking?”
With a flash of lightning, Bai Yao instantly condensed in front of Xi Wei amidst a purple-gold glow. Her speed was probably only a little slower than Ruo Yi’s.
The Bai Yao before him wore a crown of thunder. Lightning flashed in her purple eyes. Although her body was still that of a loli, she already possessed a hint of regal majesty.
“I was thinking that if you don’t put away these currents, my hair might not return to normal.”
Xi Wei touched his hair, which had puffed up like a hedgehog’s, and said with a hint of helplessness.
“Oh, oh…” Bai Yao stuck out her small tongue shyly, but then she seemed to remember something, tilted her pretty face, and snorted,
“Humph humph, that’s for brushing my feet with that brush last time! This time, letting your hair stand up is your punishment!”
“Since you are so sincere, I will reluctantly take back the lightning.”
Bai Yao finished speaking, and without any visible action, all the lightning in the room surged into her body through the ground.
“Crackling—”
A flash of electricity flickered in Bai Yao’s eyes, and everything returned to calm.
“From now on, you can’t bully me, okay? If you bully me again~ hehe~”
Bai Yao chuckled mischievously, then suddenly reached out and held Xi Wei’s hand.
A current instantly surged into Xi Wei’s body. He felt his whole body go numb, his mind went blank, and the feeling he had when he used the EVE NARS pocket watch resurfaced.
Good heavens!
The current could be used like this!?
Xi Wei was stunned.
Although he had no defenses at the time, it was enough to show that Bai Yao’s control over electricity had reached its peak.
She could even control the current that entered other people’s bodies and perform incredible micro-maneuvers.
But was Xi Wei someone who would suffer a loss?
Of course not. Bai Yao had electricity, and he had the Breath of the Wilds. In terms of control, as the Source of the Wilds, he would completely crush Bai Yao.
As a counter-attack, Xi Wei lightning-fastly grabbed Bai Yao’s hand, directly spreading out the Breath of the Wilds, and continuously launched attacks towards the deepest part of Bai Yao’s mind.
The attribute of the Breath of the Wilds was very gentle.
It was also a presence that all the maids liked very much.
Therefore, they inherently did not resist the Breath of the Wilds.
It was known that experiencing the Breath of the Wilds was a very enjoyable thing.
Now, Xi Wei’s actions were more brazen and direct.
He amplified this feeling to the extreme.
The deepest part of the mind was laden with nerve endings that transmitted bodily sensations.
The scattered Breath of the Wilds brushed past almost all of these nerve endings, intertwining and coiling repeatedly, like a vine hell, until these nerve endings trembled in this wild dance.
At this moment, Bai Yao felt as if she were in an endless wilderness.
The sky was overcast with dark clouds, and the wind howled.
The sky gradually darkened to a deep gray, like a winter sea.
All the surrounding vegetation was blown down to the ground.
Amidst the lightning and thunder, an irresistible majesty locked onto her. Bai Yao abruptly looked up, her eyes widening in confusion as she stared at Xi Wei, her pupils shrinking.
This… this feeling!
It was like the abyss was upon her!
Like the gaze of Satan!
“Boom—”
A lightning dragon roared through the dark clouds.
Bai Yao shivered all over, shrinking her head in fear.
Satan never showed mercy to mortals and stopped.
He would only make the storm more violent!
Bai Yao gritted her teeth, but the attack on her deep nerves became more ferocious, and the frequency became more dense. Lightning coursed through, lightning dragons danced wildly, and flashes of light continuously appeared in the dark clouds. She couldn’t discharge electricity that fast.
She had never felt such a strong Breath of the Wilds before. Her first stage awakening was entirely due to her own comprehension of lightning.
Many things would undergo a qualitative change when they reached an extreme.
“Boom!”
A golden lightning eye opened in the funnel cloud that curled up in the dark clouds.
A golden pillar of lightning descended from the sky.
It instantly engulfed Bai Yao.
Her mind went blank, and then she let out an irrepressible scream.
“Yaaa—————♡!!!”
Tsk, full of spirit.
The effect seemed to be very good.
Xi Wei sneered.
Was he no longer able to wield his sword, or had this little maid Bai Yao gotten too arrogant and dared to electrocute him?
Didn’t he need to show her what real, thick lightning was?
Today, he, the vengeful King of Winter, would re-establish the family rules!
The next moment, Xi Wei once again activated the Breath of the Wilds, launching a more thorough, all-round invasion into the deepest part of Bai Yao’s nerves.
This time, the Breath of the Wilds would not stop at the surface of the nerve endings, but rather gnaw away from the outside in, gradually infiltrating deeper, destroying and reshaping, leaving his unique mark.
All the way to the very end of the nerve endings.
This was the most active and tender part of the neuron.
This was the destination.
This wave would be the ultimate kill!
The information molecules of the Breath of the Wilds were fully released, corresponding to Bai Yao’s abilities.
The light of thunder shook her soul.
Pillars of lightning as thick as buckets fiercely struck down, piercing her soul and body completely.
Heh! So this was real thunder.
Her usual abilities were at most just a little bit of laughable current…
A total of ninety-nine heavenly lightning strikes.
As the last bolt of lightning fell, Bai Yao’s eyes went slightly dazed for a moment.
She parted her tender red lips slightly, her pretty face pale, her lips and tongue numb and bitter, almost fainting.
She could no longer make any other sound.
“Thump!”
Bai Yao collapsed on the ground. Xi Wei, with quick hands, quickly helped her up and placed her on the sofa beside them.
The “punishment” was over.
In fact, it couldn’t even be called a punishment; it was even beneficial to Bai Yao.
Perhaps this feeling was similar to soaking in a hot spring and taking a bath?
However, Bai Yao was probably not used to it, as she hadn’t had a hot spring in a long time.
At least that’s what Xi Wei thought.
So her dizziness from soaking her head in the Breath of the Wilds was a normal phenomenon.
“Master, Bai Yao, she… what happened to her?”
Nina could not figure out what had happened. After all, everything that had just occurred was a spiritual tempering. All that remained on the surface was the unconscious Bai Yao and a scream.
“It’s nothing. She had a slight issue absorbing divinity, but it’s not a big problem. I’ve already resolved it.”
