Rumble!!!
"Ugh, how disgusting!"
Feeling a stench comparable to rotting carrion, Liu Xiyue couldn't help but cover her nose and mouth in revulsion.
"*****"
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—
Barbs poured down like a forest of spears and a rain of arrows, ruthlessly attacking Liu Xiyue's small, delicate body.
In her burning pupils, flames rose like molten lava; the temperature around her body climbed rapidly, and the air was scorched until it distorted like waves.
Sizzle, sizzle...
Immediately after, a jaw-dropping scene unfolded.
The rapidly attacking barbs, the moment they approached within less than three meters, were completely melted by the high temperature like snow meeting a scorching sun.
Puddles of foul-smelling bloody water scattered on the ground like ink, emitting a nauseatingly strong odor.
"Hmph, such small tricks can't do anything to me!"
As she said this, the corners of Liu Xiyue's mouth unconsciously curled up.
After all, this was her true strength.
What seemed like a simple defensive ability was actually, in essence, using ultra-high temperatures to burn away any attack that approached her.
Currently, only that girl named Yunli could disregard the high heat and "repel" her in a head-on clash.
She couldn't even easily melt that greatsword of hers.
"******"
Seeing that this Extraterritorial Creature didn't seem capable of communication, Liu Xiyue tried once more to end the battle quickly.
With a "boom," intense fire surged around Liu Xiyue like a tide, pouring into her two slender hands and condensing into a giant flame bomb.
She raised her arms high, and the flame bomb rose with a "whoosh," its flames burning brightly.
"Die!"
With a delicate shout, Liu Xiyue flicked her wrists, and the flame bomb was hurled down like a cannonball, causing the ground to instantly tremble.
Rumble—
"Boom!"
After the loud noise, thick dust swept up like a giant wave, instantly obscuring her vision.
"Is it settled?"
Liu Xiyue's expression was solemn, her gaze sharp as a knife as she peered through the dust, locking onto the area below.
The sound of writhing flesh rang out in "creaks and groans," so ear-piercing it made one's scalp tingle, as if announcing its survival.
Even with the smoke everywhere, Liu Xiyue could determine by intuition that this bizarre Extraterritorial Creature was still stirring in the darkness.
Liu Xiyue ♦ฺ(◣д◢)♦ฺ: "Damn it! Just what kind of monster is this!"
This wasn't the first time Liu Xiyue had tried to incinerate it.
But as "Liu Xiyue," this was already the strongest firepower she currently possessed.
Additionally, with many people nearby, Liu Xiyue couldn't fully cut loose.
She glanced out of the corner of her eye at the entangled Ability Bureau personnel and the other Extraterritorial Creature on the other side of the field.
Liu Xiyue's brow furrowed unconsciously.
"I can only stall for time first. Once the crowd has evacuated as much as possible, I'll unleash a finishing move."
This plan wasn't difficult for Liu Xiyue; her only concern was the person holding the line on the other side.
Was that Meng Meng? Speaking of which, when did she become so powerful?
She had naturally noticed the rainbow just now, but for the moment, the effect seemed equally negligible.
But being able to hold out for so long was indeed quite impressive...
"Partner, a special situation has occurred."
"What?"
Hearing this, Silver Wolf's brow furrowed slightly, a hint of confusion flashing through her eyes.
"What a pain..." she muttered under her breath, yet her fingers tapped rapidly; the actions of deciphering and sealing the "gate" never stopped for a second.
If someone attentive looked closely, they would find that the black-red mist had already reined in its tendency to spread.
Silver Wolf knew that once this bizarre aura was allowed to spread, the disaster would be as uncontrollable as a wildfire.
As for waiting for the idiots from the Ability Bureau to solve it?
Forget it. This time, the situation was something even Silver Wolf couldn't handle within a few minutes.
What could others possibly do if they came?
Silver Wolf (ᗜ ˰ ᗜ): "Speaking of which, what exactly is the situation with the world on the other side of this mystic realm?"
A faint blue fluorescent glow enveloped Silver Wolf's exquisite face like a veil, adding a touch of cold, high-tech flair to her.
Her slender fingers danced lightly on the virtual screen, the tapping sounds dense as raindrops; her movements were so fluid they seemed to merge with the code, a professional aura radiating from her.
However, the process was far from smooth sailing.
The difficulty of analyzing this mystic realm far exceeded the last one. To use a forced metaphor, this world was like a mass of garbled code being tossed around by an invisible hand, devoid of any logic.
Unlike cracking a conventional "firewall," this was more like stepping into a labyrinth with no exit, every step sinking into an endless cycle of confusion.
Compared to the last time—establishing a back door between a relatively structured world and her current world—this was dozens of times more difficult.
No—could a world composed of such discordant "code" even be called a "world"...?
But... though the difficulty was great, it wasn't without traces before the genius Hacker, Silver Wolf.
After some probing, a confident arc hooked at the corner of Silver Wolf's mouth, and her eyes sparkled with a light eager for a challenge.
"Now that's more like it!" she whispered excitedly, her voice carrying a long-lost desire for a challenge. "It's been a long time since I encountered a game that requires me to use my brain. Finally, it's managed to pique a bit of my interest!"
As her tone grew more spirited, her eyes shone like starlight, and her fingers flew across the virtual screen, her hand speed soaring like a violent storm.
She vowed to successfully hack into the other world within ten minutes.
Since no fixed pattern exists, then I will be the one to integrate and sort it. I'll crack a channel myself and create my own rules.
And under Silver Wolf's unremitting efforts—
Even Liu Xiyue hadn't noticed that the slowly overflowing dark red mist had stopped moving at some point.
While Silver Wolf was focused, she hadn't forgotten to have her "Friend" keep a constant eye on the situation on-site.
Now, it seemed a new variable had appeared.
Thus, Silver Wolf asked casually, though her hands didn't stop for a moment.
"What happened?"
...The announcement from "Friend" stopped abruptly, and Silver Wolf's fingertips tapping on the virtual screen also froze instantly.
A certain familiar figure flitted through her mind like a ghost, causing her brow to twitch slightly.
"Tsk, let me take a closer look."
She gave a soft snort and flipped her wrist, and another screen lit up—a small, crimson fireball was trailing a wake of flame as it streaked across the sky, heading straight for the center of the Anime Convention.
"No way? Isn't she still at her part-time job?"
As the image was enlarged step by step, the blurry outline gradually became clear, yet it was still veiled in a mist-like haziness.
However, when her vision pierced through that layer of chaos, Silver Wolf's pupils shrank slightly—
That bright point of light easily mistaken for a "meteor" was actually a high-speed moving figure!
