Chapter 774: Slowing Down
*Boom!*
Deafening explosions rolled across the battlefield, and thick smoke began to envelop the nearby Union soldiers..
A frail figure was rushing through the smoke.
— How persistent, " the silver-haired girl muttered, and gritted her teeth. Right now, she was regretting provoking this guy. She shouldn't have gone to him.
*A clang*
Light blue energy spread out in all directions, and everywhere it passed, orcs and dwarves fell to the ground, just like freshly mown wheat.
The girl quickly crouched down, and a sharp energy immediately flew over her head, cutting off only a little of her hair.
— The light and shadows next to the girl began to distort and eventually created three very realistic clones.
Now there are four of them.
*Bang, bang, bang...*
A large number of bullets flew forward in a single wall, breaking through three clones without any problems and catching the union warriors as well.
The girl didn't even turn around and continued running deep into the Union army with a very unpleasant expression on her face.
*Whistling~*
The sharp sound of breaking wind came from behind her, and a strong wind whipped her silver hair. The girl's amber eyes narrowed, and a scene appeared in her mind.
The scene in the girl's mind predicted her future. Just a second later, a blade will strike her neck and take her head off her shoulders, after which her body will be split into two by the same blade...
She shuddered. At this moment, Su Xiao appeared behind the girl with a Dragon Flash in his hands.
He closed the distance with her so quickly thanks to Soru.
Threads popped out and wrapped around the girl's body, and Su Xiao's sword struck her neck.
— Rhapsody, " the silver-haired girl's slender fingers pointed to the sky, and she froze in place as if she didn't care about her opponent's attack.
*Whew~*
The dragon's flash only cut through the air, but new drops of blood appeared on the sword's blade from somewhere.
A red spot appeared on the girl's fair neck, but her body immediately began to turn translucent.
— It was close, " the girl muttered, and gasped in fear. If she had activated her ability a few tenths of a second later, her head would already be on the ground. — You're a fucking pervert, a pervert who likes to chop people's heads off.
In the next moment, she was only a meter away from Su Xiao. The first thing she did was touch the Dragon Flash, and the sword blade immediately began to get covered in a layer of silver crystals.
The threads immediately wrapped around the girl's body, but her body was still translucent, and most likely because of this, the threads just passed through her body.
This ability was similar to that of Obito Uchiha from Naruto. Obito had the ability to move through space, and this girl could move between illusion and reality.
When the threads passed through her body, she immediately pounced on Su Xiao.
— With that, she looked straight into Su Xiao's eyes, and her amber eyes began to emit a gentle light. After that, she hugged Su Xiao as gently as if she was hugging her lover. By this point, she was back to normal. She certainly wanted to escape, but the duration of her translucent state couldn't last forever.
— Get lost between the unreal and the real... as she said that, a smile appeared on her face.
— Seriously?
*Boom!*
— Ah!
Su Xiao's knee dug into the girl's lower abdomen and her body immediately flew back with a loud thud.
She thought that Su Xiao would fall into a stupor and end up unable to recover quickly, but thanks to his "Soul Blade", Su Xiao was not affected by this skill.
While she was flying backwards, Su Xiao sped up sharply and grabbed her by the throat. He wanted to take out the Slaughterhouse and cut her throat, but when the Slaughterhouse appeared in his hand, her body was already starting to fall apart.
Su Xiao applied a bit of force, and her neck was immediately covered with crystals, just as they started to crack rapidly.
With a loud crack, the crystals shattered into pieces, and tears welled up in the girl's eyes.
— I don't want...
Ignoring everything else, she snatched the pendant from her neck.
The bullet suddenly flew into Su Xiao's hand and shattered, sending out a gray-purple dust.
*Crack-crack-crack~*
The gray-purple dust began to crystallize rapidly, and soon Su Xiao's entire body was covered in a solid layer of crystals.
[Notification: You have been shrouded in an unknown energy, triggering assessments of your stamina and strength...
Since the opponent's skill has a higher priority, the evaluation results were ignored, your body was affected by an unknown effect...
Due to the Hunter's high resistance, the skill's effect will be weakened by 80%.
You will be immobilized for 0.4 seconds.]
*Crackle-crackle...*
The layer of crystals began to collapse rapidly. The girl who barely managed to escape from the clutches of death was frightened by such a quick release. She knew exactly who had fired the bullet. It was her companion. She knew the characteristics of this bullet all too well. Usually such a bullet immobilized anyone for at least 2-5 seconds.
Realizing that her companions were already close to her, the girl let go of the hand holding her crystal pendant. This pendant was too valuable and could only be used as a last resort.
*Bang!*
The layer of crystals on Su Xiao's body began to crack and immediately began to crumble to the ground.
— The Empress of fantasy, " she said, and sighed. She finally had a chance to use her lifeline.
Everything within a three-meter radius of her began to slow down, and even the crystals that were falling from Su Xiao's body began to detach from his body at an extremely slow speed.
