Leo found himself transported into a desolate wasteland, the remnants of a once-thriving magical civilization. There, he became Yvette – an immortal witch who could neither age nor die.
For...
Chapter 81-81- Villain
Because the tentacles attacked too secretly and at an astonishing speed, neither the unconscious Dugrabi nor the caught-off guard Abela knew what was happening.
When he came to his senses, Dugrabi found that the female demon who was beating him had suddenly disappeared.
Abela felt as if he was blown away by the Hundred Ton King. As the world spun around him, he smashed into two walls and was buried under the collapsed rubble, steel bars and rock slabs.
"Who!" After shaking off the building debris that was pressing on her, Abella immediately stood up from the rubble, her beautiful face distorted and hideous with anger.
But soon, she saw a silver-haired girl appear at her previous position, releasing light green magic with vitality to heal the black dragon.
Abella was stunned for a moment, then sneered and said, "It's you."
Since he is an old acquaintance, there is nothing to be nervous about. Although the attack just now was extremely swift, it should have been just a sneak attack. There is no need to worry.
If they really come into combat, based on her years of experience, she should be able to defeat the opponent within ten minutes and capture him. Then, whether she eats him as nutrients or gives him to Lord Commander Purple in exchange for merits will all depend on her mood.
On the grim street, the cold wind howled like an ice knife, blowing up the woman's black jade-like long hair and revealing her snow-white neck.
Abella stood there, her crimson eyes fixed on the silver-haired girl, waiting for her response.
But surprisingly, Yvette didn't even look at her, and continued to treat the black dragon with her head down. Her calm profile was like a finely carved porcelain doll, pure white and beautiful, without any emotional fluctuations.
...being ignored?
Realizing this, Abella felt a surge of anger in her heart.
She had been able to suppress the other party long before her promotion, and now she has been promoted again and become a true lord. How dare the other party remain so unmoved?
As soon as this thought came to her mind, she couldn't help but transform into a black shadow and rushed towards the silver-haired girl. Dugrabi was a little nervous and said weakly, "Teacher..."
Yvette shook her head and stood there without moving, without stopping the treatment. However, the whites of her eyes suddenly turned pitch black, and then part of her hair suddenly extended, like a long silver snake, sweeping towards Abella.
This was the first time Abella saw the silver-haired girl use such strange means. Although it made her look more like a descendant of a god, it also increased her vigilance.
She stopped immediately, dodged the attack a few times, and at the same time stretched out her hand, releasing a black tide forward.
She had no idea what element this black magic was made of. She only knew it was a naturally unlocked ability after her third ascension, and it possessed a strong corrosive nature. This black magic not only corroded the powerful alloys left behind by the Origin Civilization, but also had the same effect on spells like magic barriers. In her mind, it was practically indestructible.
But soon, an unexpected situation occurred. Facing the black tide she released, those silver-white hairs seemed to be unaffected at all. They penetrated directly and rushed in front of her!
What's going on?
Abella was shocked.
In her imagination, this should be just like the countless times the two of them had fought in the past, wave against wave, technique against technique, one side attacking, the other intercepting, and the fight should be back and forth. The scene would be very exciting, like countless lotus flowers of different colors blooming between heaven and earth.
But why don't these silver hairs follow the script and seem completely unaffected?
No, it still hurts... Quickly pulling back, Abella noticed the mist rising from the silver hair.
This proves that the corrosive effect of the black magic still exists, but these silver hairs are repaired faster and are less obvious.
What exactly are these hair strands?
Abella, who didn't believe it, tried to stab it with the spider-leg spear, but in just a moment, the shield made of black magic shattered, and then the spider-leg spear was smashed to pieces, scaring her so much that she couldn't help but let out a painful and panicked scream.
how so!
Is this her true strength?
I have to run, I have to run... I have to go back and report to Lord Purple Commander, and ask him to deal with this guy... Realizing she was no match for him, Abella floated into the air, trying to fly away. But strangely, no matter how she ran, those strands of hair followed her like a shadow, and she couldn't shake them off at all.
What frightened her even more was that after treating the black dragon, the silver-haired girl finally looked at her!
Then, as the pursuit began, the distance between the two sides shortened rapidly. Countless silver hairs, like a meteor shower that arrived first, passed Abella from behind and intertwined in front of her to form a huge silver-white net that reflected colorful light.
The next second, the net tightened. Although Abella struggled frantically, she couldn't escape. She was instantly wrapped like a dumpling and dragged in front of the silver-haired girl.
"You... who are you?!" Abela said in a trembling voice, her eyes full of fear. She had completely lost the beautiful, powerful and relaxed demeanor of a strong person when she appeared in front of Dugrabi.
She suspected that she had met a sixth-stage leader, but the question was, if he was really such a big shot, how could he be in the mood to play with a small character like her for so many years?
Was it really just to toy with her, to give her the illusion that she could win, and then to smack her hard?
That's too bad!
Yvette didn't say anything, just looked at her quietly. Her black eyes were bright red, like a peek from the abyss, every inch of them was soaked in terrifying evil.
But in fact, she was not silent on the surface. In secret, she was trying some novel tricks. If it went well, she could suck out the distortion factors in the opponent's body without harming their life, allowing them to survive in a weak state.
This way she wouldn't have to keep consuming distortion magic to maintain the binding, and at the same time she could still torture him for the information she needed.
As time passed, Abella felt the hair piercing her body and robbing her of her most precious things. Her face became paler and paler, and she struggled desperately like a larva trying to break out of its cocoon.
But it was useless. In just a few minutes, the distortion factors in her body were almost completely sucked away by Yvette - more than 6,000 points, which was close to the harvest of sweeping out an entire Agashe, worthy of being a lord-level.
But then she felt a little regretful - in the previous battle, in order to prevent the Spider Witch from escaping and also worried that the tentacles would be corroded by the black magic, Yvette increased the output of distortion magic, allowing the tentacles' recovery ability to reach the extreme, so that they could be repaired almost immediately after being corroded.
It looked invincible, but her expenses were also off the charts. After deducting her losses, she had only made about 1,500 points. Adding in the sporadic gains she had made over the years, her total amount of distortion magic power barely reached the 50,000 mark.
It seems that I still have to use the methods of a mage. The profit from hunting high-level aberrations with the black eye ability alone is still too little... She muttered secretly in her heart.
A cold wind blew, landing on the rooftop of a building frozen in frost and snow, and Yvette released her hold on Abella.
"You...what did you do to me..." After regaining control of her body, Abella's legs went weak and she fell to her knees on the ground, asking in a trembling voice.
After the distortion factor was sucked out, her appearance did not change at all, and even the magic core in her body was still there.
But for the heirs of God, the role of the distortion factor is mainly reflected in three aspects - the first is the promotion requirement, which goes without saying; the second is the strengthening and recovery of the body; and the third is the unlocking of abilities. All strange and bizarre abilities can only be unlocked after the stage and the concentration of the distortion factor meet the standards.
So after the distortion factor was sucked dry, although Abella was able to maintain the fifth-stage human appearance, her physical abilities and skill bars were suddenly cleared.
Her body was no longer strong, and any small bump would become unbearable. She could no longer summon the spider leg spears behind her, nor could she use her corrosive ability, flying ability, acceleration ability, shield ability, etc.
Unless she quickly uses meditation to replenish her magic core and becomes a disciple to learn magic, she will have no way to use her magic power, and will be just an ordinary human being who is powerless.
Yvette said calmly, "I took away most of the distortion factors in your body."
The reason why she retained a part of it was because it was necessary to maintain survival, and that little distortion factor was not even as good as most of the first-stage distortions, so she didn't care too much.
Abella looked at her with lifeless eyes, like a speculator who had lost most of his life savings in one night, his heart broken. Then he heard Yvette say, "If you cooperate and answer my questions, I can let you go."
Abella was immediately annoyed. Without the evolutionary factor, how could she possibly survive in this dangerous world? How was this any different from being dead? Even if she went to find the Purple Commander, she'd probably just feed her to the Hive.
No, he probably got eaten by his former subordinates on the way before he even met Commander Purple...
But even though she hated it, her instinct for survival still made her wake up. She said tearfully, "Ask me anything. As long as you can let me go, I'll tell you everything..."
Looking at her sad face and the tear stains at the corners of her eyes, Yvette suddenly felt that she was more like an evil villain. Not only did she harass her every few days, but she also robbed her of all the wealth she had accumulated over the years, returning her to the pre-liberation era overnight.
But for some reason, she quite likes this villain-like setting.
