Chapter 37: Beast Transformation is Something Even an S-Class Guide Can't Do
"Witch... Lilith, how could you be SS-level? How is it possible? Your sentinel transformed into a beast? This has never happened before. Impossible... Impossible!"
Maria roared in disbelief. She had always believed that she was the best guide in the Federation. Even if there were stronger guides than her, they could not be better than her at the same age.
She was jealous of Alice being valued by her superiors, but never cared about Lilith, who was obviously a useless chess piece. She looked at this girl who deserved to die for the sake of the overall situation with a condescending pity.
But she never thought that this abandoned child she looked down upon could actually burst out with SS-level mental power and even transform the sentinels into beasts.
She had put in countless efforts to finally enable her sentinels to establish a mental connection, but now, what was Lilith's reason?
Lilith ignored Maria's impotent rage. She stared at the backs of Qi Hanxing and Si Jue. The two of them did show signs of beast transformation. Her blood seemed to be more effective than she thought.
However, the two men's attacks were more based on instinct. As their figures intertwined, their flying kicks and grabs brought considerable obstacles to the enemy.
Her body gradually began to grow cold, and the hypothermia caused by excessive blood loss made her exhausted. The battle had to end as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, she used up her last bit of strength to make the elderberry flowers bloom.
The rich fragrance of flowers lingered in the entire steel forest. Maria's pupils slightly dilated, and her expression was confused.
“Puff!”
After just a moment's hesitation, the fishing cat's sharp claws ripped out her heart, and Si Jue kicked her against the pillar.
"Beast transformation... Lilith, you can't withstand such a powerful force. You will regret it."
Maria looked at the girl in the distance with resentment, speaking word by word. The next second, she fell to the ground with her head tilted, and died. The other three sentries also had their necks broken.
“Cough cough cough!”
A surge of blood rushed up, and Lilith swallowed the sweet and fishy blood with all her strength. She almost lost her mind due to mental exhaustion, but it was not the end yet.
"When the Sentinel first transformed into a beast, it was unconscious. It was very powerful, but at the same time, very dangerous."
She remembered the words in the game notes and looked at the two sentinels whose movements had become slow. Their beastly features were gradually fading.
Qi Hanxing knelt on one knee in front of Lilith, lowered his head, his emerald green eyes slightly out of focus.
Si Jue's hands naturally wrapped around her shoulders and rubbed them gently, but his eyes closed slightly as if he had no strength left.
When they wake up, they will not remember what just happened.
"Stand next to the sentry, grab your weapon and pretend to stab them."
The two of them did as they were told. The next moment, Lilith placed her forehead against the heroine's and used her weak mental power to call upon the existence of the dodder flower.
Alice closed her eyes tightly, but the winding vines and small white flowers spread out and entangled the immobile corpse. At first glance, it looked like the enemy was entangled by her, and Qi Hanxing and Si Jue took the opportunity to kill the opponent.
Is that enough? There was no plot to steal the heroine, and no exposure of her identity. Lilith no longer had the strength to move. She curled up and closed her eyes.
…
"Why is the broadcast pixelated? Has the Empire's technology become so crappy now?"
"I want to watch the game, not the screen. What's going on? Isn't there a broadcast plan for such an important exchange meeting?"
"No, I just saw the excitement when the Empire and Federation teams collided. I wanted to see who would win!"
"It has to be the Federation. Four S-class sentinels and one S-class guide. And then there's the Empire. Three S-class sentinels are leading a loser like Lilith. You can guess the outcome with just your brain."
"Don't you find it strange? That Ian from the Federation seems to know Lilith. How do two people from different galaxies know each other?"
"And the words are a little too intimate. The Federation is clearly our enemy. Could Lilith have made some kind of deal?"
The noisy sound was hard to stop. Xie Huan frowned and looked at Fu Sui.
"Something must have gone wrong. This kind of trick was most likely done by the Federation. Didn't you invest in the broadcast? Can you find out who was behind this?"
Fu Sui helplessly spread his hands and raised the laptop in his hand, on which messages kept popping up.
"The technical department is already investigating, and it should be back up soon. However, it looks like Lilith is in big trouble."
He glanced back and saw Duke Catherine and Duchess, dressed in gorgeous clothes, approaching with discontented expressions. They looked up at Fu Sui arrogantly and then walked towards the principal.
"What's the meaning?"
Xie Huan frowned, his heart skipping a beat.
Shen Jiaxu looked at Catherine and his wife talking with the principal in the distance, and his eyes darkened. Even when Lilith was enrolled in school, they had never attended, let alone an exchange meeting. Could something have happened that he didn't know?
He nodded slightly to the student beside him and said apologetically,
"I have to leave for a while because of something. Can you keep an eye on it for me?"
As soon as the voice fell, the broadcast screen returned to normal. The colors of all the screens became dim. In the gray steel forest, the black-haired and black-eyed girl stared blankly at her palm.
Behind her, dodder spread and bound every enemy, and the tall sentry was hung up, already dead,
Qi Hanxing and Si Jue were half-kneeling on the ground, with a hint of confusion and surprise in their raised eyes. They were covered in wounds and blood, looking miserable and magnificent.
"That's Alice's team!"
"They won! Those people from the Federation are dead!"
"Oh my god, this is incredible. What a powerful guide, what a powerful sentinel."
…
"what happened?"
Qi Hanxing only remembered that he seemed to have been stabbed in the stomach and fainted, but now, how come all the enemies were dead?
Where's Lilith, that annoying and weak girl?
He turned his head suddenly and saw the frail girl lying in the dirty water, her face pale, being carefully picked up by someone.
Si Jue wrapped Lilith with his clothes, his pupils constricted.
"Lady Lilith..."
"Ahem, I'm fine. You guys are amazing. You actually wiped out the entire Federation team."
The girl in his arms opened her clear blue eyes and spoke weakly but with admiration. She turned her head to look at Alice, her tone particularly sincere.
"Thank you for saving me, Alice."
"Me...?"
Alice felt that something was wrong, but her spirit body was indeed entangled with the enemy, even though she had no memory.
The champion has been decided. The virtual space Taihe Changming gradually disappeared. A few people came out of the holographic cabin in confusion, and heard thunderous cheers.
"Alice! Qi Hanxing! Si Jue!"
The students of the First Military Academy shouted eagerly, and no one paid attention to the girl who was gradually retreating.
Lady Katrin walked up to the podium from the side, tears in her eyes,
"I've finally found you, my real daughter, Alice."
