Chapter 2868 - 1359: Sorrow/Joy_2

Of course, if you tell me that you’re an LSP and you usually start observing strangers from the chest, legs, or abs, that’s just arguing for the sake of it...

In short, during her brief stupor just now, Double Leaf also subconsciously observed the eyes of the four members of the Fenrir Team.

What did she see?

The answer was very simple. Before she could read the emotions in their eyes, the first thing she saw was a flame that wasn’t very obvious but still couldn’t escape the Eye of the Mage.

Yes, a flame, an azure one, seemingly silently burning behind the irises of the four people.

That is... Soul Fire!

[Undead Creature]!!!

When these four words emerged proactively from the girl’s chaotic thoughts and occupied the most prominent place in her mental palace, Double Leaf immediately lost her head, just as Motan had anticipated, overwhelmed by another emotion.

Its name was—anger!

It was an anger that almost made the girl grind her teeth into powder, her eyes widen until they bled, her nose and mouth bleed; an anger that nearly got her kicked out of the game by the system due to severe mood swings; an anger that made her so unsteady that she almost stumbled into Frank’s ’embrace’; an anger that could not be quelled even if the culprit was diced into thousands of pieces and stripped of skin and tendons!

"Tan—— Mo——!!!"

Accompanied by a sharp, trembling roar, the girl’s beautiful long hair moved without wind, and her eyes, originally misted with water vapor, turned blood-red due to congestion. The elemental power around her, which had gradually stabilized, suddenly became chaotic without warning, forming an unsustainable elemental turbulence zone with a ten-meter radius centered on Double Leaf and her five mirror clones.

If it weren’t for Double Leaf retaining a sliver of rationality to grant Frank Hughes several mixed shields, Motan would have been vaporized in this elemental turbulence in an instant—yes, literally vaporized.

The sequence of events was already clear!

To kill her, the bastard who went by ’Tan Mo’ in this game had surreptitiously stolen the bodies of Ned, Yina, Crab, and Saracha, and used some necromancy method to make them ’move’ again. The most likely scenario involved making them into mindless, sluggish undead warriors by the Necromancer.

This was the most despicable desecration! The dirtiest trick! A provocation with no moral baseline!

But would that person care about such things? Was he not vile? Was he not despicable? Did he not lack a baseline?

The voice within herself answered Double Leaf: that person named Tan Mo, of course, lacked such things because, at the root of it, BLACK and SUN were essentially the same kind of people, and Double Leaf herself was the type with no moral baseline.

If Ned and the others were replaced with others, would she exploit their bodies to hunt Tan Mo? Would she desecrate these heroes she had never met?

At this moment, Double Leaf had no answer, nor did she care for one, because regardless of whether she would do it or not, that person had already done it, and not only that, the culprit might very well be herself!

She remembered when the Fenrir Team was just annihilated, with all four partners perishing and Hei Fan vanished without a trace. In her vulnerability, she had sought comfort from Tan Mo, and now, reflecting on those conversations, she realized how important they were to herself.

The opposite party hadn’t missed this detail...

Tan Mo probably never expected Yina and others to kill her from the start; he just wanted to disrupt her mind!

He succeeded!

He did a great job!!

He must pay the price!!!

Exactly as Motan had expected, anger obliterated Double Leaf’s reason, destined to turn her once impermeable defense system into a sieve with numerous flaws.

At this time, if Scarlett and the twenty [Bee Sting] were to charge at Double Leaf in a desperate move, even though they would be mostly killed in an instant, those who survived might still manage to get close enough to put this girl, who had almost zero melee capability, in a highly disadvantageous position for a Mage.

However, Scarlett and [Bee Sting] didn’t make any moves because Motan did not intend to exploit her ’anger’.

There were too many uncertainties. Double Leaf’s aggressiveness was at its peak now; even if she couldn’t stay calm, she might still rely on instinct to wipe out Scarlett and others, while taking out himself, who might intervene at a critical moment.

So, according to the pre-arranged plan, this segment was left blank, meaning Scarlett and [Bee Sting] had to make their own judgments, and having nearly perished moments ago, they naturally chose not to rush blindly. In fact, they did not even consider this as an opportunity.

Time that was not paused resumed its flow, and as Double Leaf wiped away the blood from her mouth and nose and raised her Magic Wand again, the Fenrir Team had only just reached a distance of several dozen meters from the girl.

They tried hard, but they were too weak; these newly advanced-stage undead were no match for Double Leaf.

Another arrow shot from Yina’s longbow, aiming straight for Double Leaf’s forehead.

"I’m sorry."

The red-eyed girl didn’t even make any move. A Flame Explosion suddenly detonated in mid-air, turning the arrow into charred pieces.

"I’m sorry."

She casually cast two wind attribute buffing spells on herself, summoned an Earth Elemental Hand to lift Frank by the collar, and walked slowly towards her former comrades.

"I’m sorry."

A gentle water element screen expanded out of nowhere, blocking Saracha’s airborne punch, and immediately dissipated in the air after neutralizing the force, lest the backlash might harm the opponent’s fragile undead body.

"I’m sorry."

Two mini [Amulets] appeared suddenly in front of Crab, gently supporting his battle axe, which remained unmoved no matter how he exerted force.

"I’m sorry."

A hurricane, reduced to the extent of causing no slightest harm to the human body, appeared in front of Ned, hindering his steps without causing any harm.

"I’m sorry... oh... sorry... sorry..."

Finally reaching her old comrades, tears she could no longer restrain spilled from her eyes. The girl collapsed to the ground like a child, crying her heart out.

Opportunity!

At this moment, a [Bee Sting] Ranger, though clueless about what had occurred, remembered the task at hand and unhesitatingly drew a short bow, shooting an arrow loaded with a potent poison that would be troublesome even for an Epic Tier Powerhouse to handle, aiming at Double Leaf’s trembling form.

"Idiot!!"

"No!!"

Simultaneously, Scarlett and the leader of the Bee Sting shouted in alarm, yet their reactions, shocked by the scene before them, were a step too slow to successfully intercept the poison-tipped arrow with High-Order Pinnacle speed and strength.

The next second—

"Ugh!"

The Ranger’s body suddenly shuddered, his head lowering to see the arrowhead sticking out of his chest, not even having time to question, ’why did the forward-shooting arrow come from behind to kill me,’ before he ceased breathing under the toxin’s effect, collapsing dejectedly to the ground.

[Space Magic!]

Even though Scarlett and the Bee Sting leader hadn’t believed the Ranger would successfully ambush, they exchanged a startled glance, capturing profound fear and apprehension in each other’s eyes.

After a prolonged battle, only now did they chillingly realize that the girl, soaring in Elemental Magic, also held an awe-inspiring level of mastery in Space Magic, which ranked on par with Arcane Magic in difficulty.

Deep within Frank Hughes’s eyes flashed a gleam of unperceived elation!
