“This girl, still coming?!”
Ka Fei, who had been forcibly knocked back by the lightning, widened her eyes when she saw Stella.
“Hmph.”
Beside her, Leinata also spotted Stella. She then clutched her chest, walked over to Stella’s side, and stood shoulder to shoulder with her.
“Didn’t expect you to come.” Leinata said.
After just learning that Nuo Ai’er had gone missing, Leinata was so shocked that she rushed out of the mansion and sprinted all the way to the milk tea shop.
However, the opponent was a Witch… She would need some help.
So, while hurrying at full speed, Leinata took a moment to open her player terminal panel and sent an email to the Falcon Guild.
Well, although she was looking for help, Leinata knew in her heart that the people of the Falcon Guild weren’t a bunch of fools.
The opponent was a Witch, with a status far above theirs. Going after her was no different from walking to their deaths.
It was understandable if they read it and didn’t reply… But unexpectedly, Stella actually came to support.
“Let’s kill this damn Witch and avenge Nailuo! I came here with only one purpose.”
Stella’s eyes burned with rage.
Stella had never feared anyone in her life. So what if you’re a Witch? As long as she could avenge Nailuo and then undo Nailuo’s seal to save her, then whether you were a Witch, a Wizard, or a Mahoraga, Stella would still beat you all up.
And precisely because of that strong will to save Nailuo, Stella, just like Leinata, broke through the influence of Bystander Dispersion and came straight over.
“What about the others?” Leinata asked.
“I didn’t let them follow… I left them at headquarters to look after Nailuo.”
Adventure alongside her? For her, Nailuo was already in trouble, and she couldn’t let the remaining members get dragged into it either.
“Let me, the guild master, shoulder this fierce battle.”
“Enough with the nonsense. Hurry up and tell me this… whatever her name is… Ka Fei’s abilities.”
The moment those words fell, dazzling golden lightning flickered around Stella, and she directly activated her lightning armor.
Ka Fei: “Who the hell is Ta Fei?! (Damn it!)”
Ka Fei really wanted to smack this rude son of a bitch with the twintails.
“It’s simple. Keep attacking her relentlessly. Don’t give her any chance to invade your soul!”
With that, red aura also began to swirl around Leinata.
“Hey, you two really don’t take me seriously, huh?”
Ka Fei revealed a smile covered in black lines.
These two, one red and one gold—with their hair colors and ability colors completely mixed up—actually dared to be so rude to her.
“Go to hell!”
Ka Fei manipulated those transparent weapons to fiercely attack the two.
Both of them felt a terrifying pressure at the same time and swiftly dodged.
“Leave this to me!”
Leinata shouted, then swung her blade and slammed every transparent weapon into the ground.
Meanwhile, Stella turned into lightning and charged at Ka Fei.
Ka Fei released a magic shield to block the lightning, but Stella quickly began lashing the shield with her electric whip.
The “grow stronger against the strong” talent activated, and the lightning grew increasingly ferocious. Ka Fei realized that no matter how she defended, her opponent was gradually adapting.
“Tsk, two cockroaches that just won’t die.”
Ka Fei clicked her tongue.
With her remnant soul at less than a tenth of its original power, fighting one against two was genuinely troublesome.
But this twintail girl wasn’t any stronger than Leinata.
She had to start with her.
At that moment, each of the three had their own thoughts running through their minds.
Leinata: ‘Gradually adapting, but still a bit short… Please, buy me a little more time.’
Stella: ‘I can’t stop attacking! I have to beat her quickly, or Nailuo will be beyond saving!’
Ka Fei: ‘Speaking of which… this twintail probably doesn’t have a Gray Wolf in her head, right? I’ll find a chance to invade her soul and take her out first.’
This battle was about to reach a turning point—
***
Meanwhile, on Hui Mei’s side…
Lin Nai, possessing Emilia, was outside trying to undo Hui Mei’s seal, but deep within Hui Mei’s soul, she had no idea about it.
Because in the depths of Hui Mei’s heart—her mental world—a replica of the cozy little house from the dungeon had been reproduced.
However, although it was said to be an exact copy, the atmosphere wasn’t as oppressive as in the dungeon.
It was very warm inside.
And in this little house, two small figures were currently sitting cuddled together on the sofa.
“Hehe, Big Sister~ I love you~”
The soft, adorable Hui Mei hugged the white-haired loli beside her tightly and affectionately.
This white-haired loli was Nuo Ai’er from Hui Mei’s mental world.
Hui Mei really liked it here.
She loved watching TV and eating snacks with Big Sister Nuo Ai’er.
“Big Sister Nuo Ai’er, what do you want to eat?” Hui Mei asked.
“How about a cookie.” Nuo Ai’er said with a smile.
“Okay, Big Sister~”
Then, while nibbling on her snack, Hui Mei gestured for Nuo Ai’er to open her mouth, wanting to feed her.
And so, the two lolis enjoyed their peaceful, beautiful time.
“Big Sister Nuo Ai’er, want to play a game?” Hui Mei suddenly said with a smile.
“Guess which day was the happiest day of my whole life?”
Nuo Ai’er thought for a moment, then spoke:
“Is it Hui Mei’s birthday?”
Hui Mei shook her head.
“Nope. I never celebrated a birthday before.”
Nuo Ai’er: “Is it the day Emilia treated us to delicious food?”
“Such a small fry~”
Hui Mei pouted.
“Aww, no. You can’t even guess that, Big Sister Nuo Ai’er.”
Then, Nuo Ai’er guessed again and again, but got every one wrong.
“What on earth is it?”
Seeing Nuo Ai’er’s completely bewildered expression, Hui Mei smiled sweetly.
Then, her small body lunged forward, arms spread wide, and she tightly hugged her most beloved big sister.
“The answer—it’s every single day I spend with Big Sister Nuo Ai’er!”
Ever since Nuo Ai’er had personally redeemed her from the darkness, every day of Hui Mei’s life was filled with color.
So, for Hui Mei, as long as Big Sister Nuo Ai’er was by her side, every day was happy and wonderful.
However…
Just as this happiness reached its peak, the scene abruptly changed.
“Hui Mei… I’m sorry.”
The Nuo Ai’er who had been eating snacks with Hui Mei had her smile instantly fade away.
The moment those words fell, the edges of her body slowly began to turn transparent.
Nuo Ai’er’s body started to dissipate, and it was getting faster and faster.
“Eh, eh?! Big Sister Nuo Ai’er?!”
Hui Mei was terrified by the sudden change.
She quickly reached out her small hands, desperately gripping Nuo Ai’er’s sleeve, trying with all her might to hold her back.
Hui Mei’s eyes were red.
“No, don’t disappear! What’s going on—”
But she couldn’t change anything.
Nuo Ai’er was about to vanish.
Right before Hui Mei’s eyes, Nuo Ai’er’s figure gradually dispersed, until she completely disappeared.
All that remained was the empty sofa, and the lonely Hui Mei, all by herself.
“Big Sister Nuo Ai’er—QAQ!!”
The moment Hui Mei cried out, her mental world began to collapse…
“AAAAHHHH—!!”
The pink-haired loli, who had been sleeping on the bed for many days, suddenly snapped her eyes open and screamed.
Hui Mei sat straight up, her eyes red and tear-streaked.
“Huff… Finally succeeded.”
By the bedside, the golden-haired, blue-eyed girl let out a soft breath.
She wiped the sweat from her forehead. At this moment, the one controlling the body was still the Witch Lin Nai’s consciousness.
Just now, she had successfully undone Hui Mei’s soul seal, but her own consumption had also been immense.
“The soul seal… has been successfully undone.”
Lin Nai said with a smile.
But…
After waking up, Hui Mei paid no attention to her own condition at all.
Her mind was filled with only the dissipating figure from the illusion just now.
“Big Sister Nuo Ai’er… where is she?”
