Chapter 326: The Demon Sword Red (Part 5)

—

“It’s you again for the handoff! Stealing my moves!” Samimi gritted her teeth, seething with anger.

She could tell at a glance that the Connection Witch was also using a Support Technique. But it was completely different from the Church skill tree she used—it was a heretical Amplification magic of another school.

After all, she had the Goddess standing behind her. The Healing Light was the power of the Goddess. Surely the Goddess wouldn’t favor a Demon Human girl, right?

But the situation before her was growing more and more bizarre.

She could also use a power similar to Healing Light—no, that wasn’t the true Healing Light, but an unknown force, merely similar in effect.

Healing Light was different from magic; it was a blessing from the Goddess, randomly selecting girls of the Human Race. Only those chosen could become Divine Officials or Pastoralists.

Magic, on the other hand, was a force of nature. While also having an element of randomness, the probability of awakening could be cultivated and improved through training later in life.

Those Magic Families precisely relied on generations of accumulated experience and bloodlines to increase the likelihood of their members awakening magic, thus firmly controlling the system of Magic Users.

Their greatest treasure was never some legendary magic, but the magical blood flowing within their veins.

So—

It wasn’t strange for a Demon Human to use magic.

But a Demon Human using “healing-type divine arts”? That was a huge problem.

This meant—

Behind the Abyss forces, there might exist an immortal being on the same level as the Goddess or the Human Emperor.

Or even…

The so-called “Abyss” itself might be a “false god.”

And in the Original Plot, the nature of the Abyss was never explained.

—

“I can see it. You don’t need to tell me,” Samimi said, somewhat irritated.

“This is bad. She’s buffing Magic Sword Red,” Bemore said gravely.

“Don’t panic. Her Support Technique isn’t as strong as yours,” Bemore analyzed calmly. “Her casting speed is slow, and the types of Amplification are fewer. She can only enhance basic attributes.”

Samimi clenched her fist.

Bemore was right.

But the variable was already big enough—

Big enough to overturn her entire original strategy.

In the Original Plot, Magic Sword Red had no support!

It was already a Mechanism Boss plus a Stats Boss.

And now it actually has a teammate buffing it?

Absolutely ridiculous!

“Enhancing basic attributes is already enough,” Samimi said grimly. “Magic Sword Red already grows stronger the longer it fights. Now it will only be even harder to deal with.”

—

As soon as the words were spoken—

Blue Ghost and Red Ghost were blasted away!

They flew backward like two pieces of tattered cloth, slamming heavily against the Air Wall!

—

Even after activating Ghost-Person transformation,

plus Samimi’s Amplification—

They were still no match for Magic Sword Red!

—

That swordsmanship—

Grand and sweeping, yet containing exquisite technique within.

This was the swordsmanship of a Hero tempered by countless battles!

As the fight progressed, Magic Sword Red continuously regained its strength, its combat power even breaking through its original limits!

—

It wasn’t simply trading blows for injuries.

Seemingly reckless charges actually concealed lethal intent.

—

In contrast, the Twin Heroes—

After entering Ghost-Person transformation, they instead lost the finesse and rhythm of their original Tachi swordsmanship.

Becoming purely wild, frenzied slashing.

—

Their openings—

Were instantly seized!

—

Defeat!

—

“Pull them out, quick!”

Samimi and the others immediately pulled Blue Ghost and Red Ghost out of the Light Duel.

—

They weren’t unconscious.

But their eyes were vacant, their expressions stiff.

Completely beaten into submission.

—

As for why they could see their expressions clearly?

Because their masks—

Had been shattered by sword Qi.

Revealing two youthful, girlish faces.

Completely mismatched with the murderous Tachi Swordsman image from moments before.

—

“Even the Twin Heroes have been defeated…” Steve murmured.

She hurriedly took out special potions and administered them to the two.

—

Samimi used her Healing Power to check them over.

Nothing serious.

Just external injuries and excessive exhaustion.

Many of the wounds had even healed on their own.

—

Fighting for a full four hours,

and only sustaining injuries to this degree—

They truly were not ordinary human bodies.

—

But the psychological blow was greater.

The two sat like puppets, unable to snap back to reality for a long time.

In the short term, fighting again was impossible.

—

Niubao watched this scene, her heart greatly shaken.

She was on good terms with Red Ghost.

She never imagined that the calm and reliable Red Ghost could be beaten to the point of mental collapse.

—

Next—

Whose turn was it to go on stage?

—

Everyone looked at each other.

No one dared to speak.

The Elders were all defeated.

Only the juniors remained.

—

What was worse—

They were trapped inside the Light Duel.

Surrounded by Air Walls on all sides.

—

No retreat.

If they didn’t defeat Magic Sword Red—

They could only be trapped here until they died.

—

Starved to death.

This was completely different from the Original Plot.

In the Original Plot, after one battle, Magic Sword Red would dispel the barrier.

The Hero Party could seize the chance to break through.

—

But now—

The barrier hadn’t been dispelled.

—

Which meant—

It could maintain it indefinitely.

“I’m a Zombie. I don’t eat.”

“Then I’ll starve you all to death.”

That was its tactic.

“Let’s eat first,” Samimi suddenly said.

“Huh?” Bemore looked at her incredulously. “You’re saying that now?”

“Everyone’s hungry,” Samimi said calmly. “He won’t take the initiative to attack. Our current state is too chaotic. We must calm down.”

Bemore wanted to argue further.

But—

Niubao had already taken pots, pans, bowls, and dishes out of her storage ring.

—

She started a fire and began cooking.

In front of the final BOSS—

Cooking?

—

Utterly ridiculous.

—

“Glug, glug, glug~”

Samimi brewed a pot of hot tea and took small sips.

She gradually calmed down completely.

—

The advantage of a Transmigrator—

Was being completely disrupted.

She couldn’t rigidly follow the Original Plot anymore.

She had to—

Use her brain.

—

“Our greatest enemy…”

She muttered to herself.

“Might not be Magic Sword Red.”

—

“But rather—”

“The Connection Witch standing behind it.”
