Chapter 2871 - 1361: Super Spirit Body, Possession and Fusion [II]

Second Bloom!

Without any psychological preparation, having long imagined the situation to an irredeemable extent, Double Leaf inevitably fell into a second state of stupor after suddenly discovering that the Undead Yina controlled by someone could actually speak.

We can’t criticize her for not having strong psychological qualities, as even just one round of impact would be enough to directly collapse someone for ten days to a month, but Double Leaf only lost control for less than a second. After that, although her anger had overwhelmed her rationality, exposing her trump card Space Magic used to escape the battlefield, she still maintained basic calmness, not giving the Assassin any opportunity and perfectly staving off her former companions with almost insane control, without harming them.

Before Yina spoke, Double Leaf had only one thought — to immediately subdue the four members of the Fenrir Team, then kill all enemies in sight as quickly as possible and bring her friends to a safe place, whether by relying on Diana or asking the unfathomable Tuning Sage for help, to rid Ned and others of control and let them rest in peace.

Hmm... Hei Fan never had the chance to pay his respects; now he’s in Academy City too. Perhaps he can be called to join everyone for a drink when laying them to rest.

As for Tan Mo, Double Leaf deliberately didn’t think about him because she clearly understood she was in a very dangerous state now. If disturbed by that disgusting bastard, she might genuinely face a trap, and then, not only would Fenrir Team and Frank be at risk, but even she herself might not survive.

So she forcibly suppressed the magma-like burning hatred deep inside her consciousness, striving to focus solely on the current situation, and then...

Yina began to speak, with a very simple dialogue.

"Sister Yina, why can you talk!?"

"Little girl, why do you think of me as mute!?"

Faced with a perplexed expression of the Elf Ranger, whose brows furrowed subtly as he shot an arrow at Double Leaf, the latter truly didn’t react at all, even discarding the instinct for self-protection, she was caught off guard and took the hit.

This arrow resulted in a damage of exactly 30% of Double Leaf’s Health Points!

Clearly, without magic shields and other defensive measures, unprepared Double Leaf had terrifyingly low defensive power and Health Points, so much so that even Yina, a clumsy newcomer to the Advanced Stage, could take almost half her life with a misplaced arrow.

Frankly speaking, if Yina had held the arrow for half a second longer and hadn’t had its trajectory disturbed by the small area element storm covering Double Leaf, the latter indeed, indeed, indeed would very likely have been taken down in one strike.

But that’s not important!

It’s not important at all!

The truly important thing is—

...

[Heh, you wouldn’t think I’d really give you a chance to think clearly, right? Huh?]

Frank Hughes, bewilderedly held less than half a meter above ground by the Earth Elemental Hand, laughed heartily in his heart while sending out two messages simultaneously—

"Retreat."

In the alley corner’s shadow, a young man in a uniform of some comprehensive academy, with a somewhat tense expression, suddenly turned his head to say to the funny masked woman behind him, dressed in dark purple tight leather armor, playing with a steel wire.

"..."

The latter silently nodded, then gently stepped forward, disappearing at once from the vision of this ’Clown Brand Outsider Informant’.

Meanwhile

’Use ninety percent of your force to gank her, keep the communication channel open, immediately.’

A friend message suddenly popped up in the corner of Yi Dong’s vision.

"Tsk tsk... I knew it."

Yi Dong clicked his tongue, lightly shook his right wrist, and there appeared in his hand the short knife he had shown Motan previously, its whole body in grey-white, filled with cracks, named [Residual Rainbow], emanating an unprecedented deathly pale aura.

As a cooperator who, although not the most important, but is most knowledgeable about the situation, process, and causes, Yi Dong knew that either he or the Red Queen from Clown Brand would appear as the final segment, and although Motan indicated he’d decide based on situation, this buddy A always felt that unless something unexpected happened, it was certain that he’d be the one to act.

The reason was simple, if cooperating with the person named Motan, Yi Dong’s corresponding value of tacit understanding with either of Motan’s personalities was MAX, and in such scenarios where any detail could cause huge consequences, wanting to minimize risk meant no factors should reduce the plan’s precision.

So Yi Dong, from the start, felt that although his Assassin qualities were far inferior to Lian and he could only stabilize at Epic Tier for a short five minutes, ultimately, Motan would choose him. Therefore, he made full preparations, adjusted his physical condition to the optimal level for Super Spirit Body, Possession and Fusion, taking out the short knife as soon as Fenrir Team and others left, entering a certain state.
