Chapter 970 - 558: They’re Too Strong, We Need to Target Their Weaknesses (2)
Whenever You Wenqi’s fists tried to attack Alice, they managed to block in front of the fists just right, and then exploded to blast both parties apart.
The explosion of the fireball didn’t discriminate between friend or foe.
In these brief three seconds, You Wenqi had unleashed hundreds of punches, and the space between the two became chaotic with the rapid disturbances from the attack.
Alice’s magic robe was shattered due to the fireball explosions. If not for the white dress underneath, she might have been exposed.
Three seconds was enough time for the magic barrier to contract to a sufficiently small size.
Feeling the approaching flame barrier, You Wenqi could already sense the menacing flames on it.
These flames, similar to the ones that initially hit him, would quickly corrode and ignite his armor, rendering his defenses useless.
Sensing the threat, You Wenqi directly slapped the transformation device on his waist.
Accompanied by an exhilarating tune, his armor began to rapidly transform.
Red! Taurus.
Representing absolute power.
Since we’ve already been trapped in this confined cage, there’s no need to pursue speed anymore, I’ll rip you apart with sheer force!
After switching forms, a layer of blood-red aura surrounded You Wenqi’s fists.
With an unparalleled sense of power, You Wenqi punched Alice with all his might.
However, the anticipated obstruction did not occur; not even a single fireball appeared in his attack path.
Despite his confidence in crushing Alice’s fireball and landing a fatal blow after switching to this form, he couldn’t help but have some doubts.
Can’t keep up with my attack?
Impossible! She could even match the purple speed-type attack, surely she can’t be slow against the red power-type attack speed.
Suddenly, You Wenqi noticed Alice’s upturned smile and sensed trouble.
With a closer look, the large number of fireballs that originally surrounded Alice surged into her body like aliens returning to their nests.
The next moment, Alice’s body emitted a terrifying atmosphere, resembling a bomb ready to explode, waiting for You Wenqi to ignite her fuse.
But the situation had already reached this point, and You Wenqi no longer had the opportunity to retract his punch.
The full-force punch landed heavily on Alice’s body.
At that moment, the whole world fell silent.
Inside the flame barrier, a pitch-black sphere suddenly appeared, followed by endless rays of light bursting forth.
Like a star explosion, silent rays instantly tore apart the enclosing flame barrier, and the shockwave engulfed the entire plain, destroying all obstacles it encountered, even flattening nearby hills instantly.
A gale swept across the plain, raising countless gusts of sand.
It seemed the balance point had been reached, as a booming sound finally erupted from the explosion’s center, sweeping across the entire region again.
If there had been any living beings here, they would probably have been destroyed in the surge of noise.
With blue-purple flames, Alice’s figure reassembled amidst the storm, appearing unharmed.
She exhaled heavily, grateful that her quick reflexes and constant vigilance prevented her from being instantly killed by this strange lunatic.
But Alice’s relaxation didn’t last long.
Upholding an attitude of not underestimating any enemy, the spiritually exhausted Alice forced her weary body to raise the magic staff, once again arranging her Fireball Star Defense Array, her gaze tightly fixed on the explosion center, not daring any slack.
She immediately drank a bottle of Magic Potion to replenish the depleted magic power.
In the next moment, the wind finally dispersed the dust.
The previously lush plain had already become dilapidated.
Alice couldn’t care less about that.
Her pupils shrank as she saw the figure in the distance.
You Wenqi stood there in an extremely exaggerated posture.
His armor had transformed again, the black-and-white armor covered his entire body, with long sword-like flying armor pieces forming a skirt-like star ring around him.
This armor... looks like a maid outfit.
On closer inspection, good heavens, there’s even white stockings.
It looks extremely cute.
Though it doesn’t quite match You Wenqi’s muscular build.
"Pfft."
Alice could clearly hear Shen Sui’s laughter beside her.
Her curiosity was immediately piqued, wanting to turn and ask Shen Sui what was funny.
But she had no capacity for distraction at this time.
The previous battle, despite its short duration, had both sides fighting at incredible speed, but the consumption was also immense.
Alice had exhausted her magic and spiritual power, and even after drinking a potion, she couldn’t sustain the fight for much longer.
You Wenqi’s condition was similar.
To defeat such an opponent as quickly as possible, You Wenqi made an all-out attack from the start, and the previous explosion drained all his remaining energy, leaving him standing in place maintaining a stance, without enough strength for another round with Alice.
The battle might be impossible to continue.
But it was far from over.
You Wenqi took out the Dueling Device, looked up at Alice, who hovered in the air vigilantly, and calmly said, "It seems we can’t determine a winner anytime soon. Perhaps we should resolve our grievances in a less taxing way."
Grievances...
Alice muttered inwardly.
What grievance exists between us...
But Alice had no reason to refuse.
After all, her condition was terrible, and continuing the battle wouldn’t benefit her.
It might be better to resolve the subsequent fight in this card-playing manner.
Though she hadn’t completely understood this card game, wasn’t Claude still behind her?
He seemed exceptionally powerful.
When necessary, she could ask Lord Claude for help.
Alice squinted her eyes and said, "Of course."
Both parties had no reason to reject such a proposal.
"Unfold the Duel Realm."
This time, it wasn’t even a forced duel.
******
While Alice and You Wenqi were wreaking havoc on the buffer plain, isolated cases of attacks by the Extraordinary started occurring in Valhalla City.
Worldwide participants of the Thor Cup became the main targets of these attackers.
Tan Song had just woken up and was attacked by an unidentified insect.
Shen Sui here was no exception.
"Another one."
Qishala, holding a broom, swept away the insect at her feet and glanced back at Vivian, who was seated on the sofa processing data.
The mistress was busy and absolutely wouldn’t allow anyone to disturb her.
Hence, Martina and Freymia had already set out to actively clear Valhalla City of Broken Boundary Creatures.
With two fourteenth-grade Quasi-God strong individuals acting, the majority of Broken Boundary Creatures were naturally not opponents. This attack hadn’t even started causing waves, yet was already quashed in its cradle by a few women.
Such events undoubtedly displeased some people.
Looking at the now calm city, El Lado looked displeased, gripping the staff in his hand.
"This is the situation, Lord El Lado." A burly man knelt on the ground, reporting the city’s situation to El Lado, "These women are just too strong! Quasi-God level angels aren’t their match."
"Have you investigated their origins?" El Lado asked coldly.
"They are family members brought by a Life Card Master named Shen Sui."
"Shen Sui, a Life Card Master..." El Lado chuckled, "These women must be his Soul Cards. Remarkably, one person can possess so many powerful Soul Cards."
"But as strong as a companion might be, they’re just companions. He’s merely an ordinary person."
"If you can’t deal with those women, surely you can handle one ordinary person?" El Lado raised his head and said with a smile.
"Understood."
