When Javier had no other outcome than being swallowed and torn to ashes by his own flame beasts, the Emperor of Soft Rice, Javier, who specialized in living off women, still activated his passive skill: calling Lisa for help.
Once he couldn't defeat the boss, his only trump card was to call for Lisa's support, after all, this girl was a three-stage evolver, currently the strongest, and if he didn't ask her for help, no one would be able to defeat Alexia.
At least…
At least, she had to buy him a little time so Javier could run to another Gene Laboratory and retrieve the Linear Particle Emitter that had been stored there for decades without being activated.
Then, he would blast Alexia with it, and no matter what T-Veronica Virus Emperor she was, she would be dead.
But the problem now was—
No time.
Moreover, the fight between the man and the woman was over.
Javier admitted he couldn't defeat this woman who could control flame magic, so now it was time for the women to fight.
He was more curious to see who was stronger: Lisa, who had evolved with a three-stage G Virus, or Alexia, the T-Veronica Virus Emperor.
The camera pulls back…
"Buzz…"
"Whoosh——————!!!"
As expected,
Just as Javier was about to fall to the ground and be devoured by countless flame beasts, a piercing whirring sound suddenly came from his ears—the sound of wings rapidly flapping and accelerating.
Lisa, wearing a black, tight-fitting battle suit, trembled slightly at her shoulders, and a pair of thin, elf-like wings instantly burst through the suit, unfolding.
And with just a slight movement,
The wings on Lisa's back immediately erupted with a powerful airflow.
The wings instantly generated terrifying propulsion, and Lisa's entire figure immediately vanished from her original spot.
Amidst a piercing sonic boom, Lisa's figure rapidly dived and shot out, gliding swiftly towards the direction of Javier's descent!
"Bang…"
The next second,
Javier was only a few meters away from the dense flame beasts below him.
The moment the two were about to touch, Lisa's figure suddenly appeared, and she scooped Javier up in a princess carry, then quickly transformed into an afterimage and vanished from the spot.
By the time Alexia reacted, Lisa had already carried Javier out of danger, retreating to the safest position dozens of meters away.
"I made it in time.
Leave the rest to me.
She's my prey now, and I'll bring her complete corpse back to you, Javier!"
Lisa held Javier in her arms, looking at him, her dark red eyes flashing with an unusual light as she spoke softly.
Then, her gaze turned towards Alexia, filled with intense fighting spirit.
How could she easily forgive someone who dared to bully her person like this?
She had to beat her into submission and an apology.
"…"
"Is that the special life form?
She contains some special power, I wonder if it's a fusion of the T-Virus or some so-called G Virus, but no matter what, she's very interesting… If I can infect her to become my subordinate and devour her, I should gain unexpected additional power."
As Alexia looked at Lisa, who had suddenly appeared,
Her dark gold ant-like pupils scrutinized Lisa for a long time.
As an ancient Queen Ant insect, Alexia's intuition told her that Lisa's aura was very special, possessing a power that made her incredibly wary.
It was highly likely that her body also contained the power of a virus, and the opponent's viral power was not much weaker than hers; on the contrary, it was even stronger.
This strong disparity filled Alexia with an unusual sense of excitement.
She wasn't sure how strong Lisa was, but she only knew that if Lisa could be infected by her T-Veronica Virus and become her subordinate, then devoured into her body, she would gain even greater superhuman power, evolving into a true Creator.
Therefore,
The moment she saw Lisa,
Alexia not only felt no fear,
On the contrary, she was unusually agitated and excited.
This kind of euphoric feeling upon seeing upgrade material made Alexia forget Lisa's threat.
So,
Almost without any hesitation,
Alexia chose to strike first.
She stomped her feet slightly, then exerted force, and her slender body instantly erupted with terrifying power.
Alexia shot out like a cannonball, reaching Lisa's front in the blink of an eye.
Looking at the delicious meal within reach, Alexia forcefully flicked her wrist again.
Crimson blood splattered,
Upon contact with the air, it compressed and ignited, instantly forming roaring flames.
Under Alexia's exquisite control, these flames immediately condensed into a massive Flaming Cross Greatsword, appearing exceptionally dazzling and striking in the dim Laboratory.
Wielding this Flaming Cross Greatsword,
Alexia fiercely swung it towards Lisa's body.
As the genius prodigy of the Ashford Family, Alexia had personally studied Western fencing to cultivate her temperament, so her close-quarters combat skills were not bad.
"Swish————!"
A sword qi sliced through the air,
The swift and dangerous Flaming Greatsword thrust towards Lisa at an extremely tricky angle, and the high-temperature flames burning on it gradually began to suffocate the air…
Chapter 22: How Does a Country Bumpkin Make a Noble Heiress Furious?
That Alexia also knew Western fencing was a slight surprise, but using the previous excuse, the Ashford Family was a traditional noble family, just like aristocratic families in the Middle Ages, their family members were all required to learn noble etiquette.
And Western fencing…
Naturally, it was one of the most important courses for cultivating noble temperament and demonstrating noble etiquette.
To this day… many prominent families with noble backgrounds still regard Western fencing as a very prestigious and elegant hobby.
Just like golf,
It's basically a standard recreational game for the wealthy.
And Alexia, this genius prodigy, naturally could not avoid these mandatory courses of noble etiquette.
Therefore, she had been forced to learn Western fencing early on.
Of course, Alexia did not refute or reject this course.
After all, just like the Six Arts of a Gentleman,
Alexia believed that an excellent genius was not only far superior to ordinary people in terms of intelligence, but also in other areas, such as their own combat prowess, which should be stronger than that of ordinary males.
In any area… even in fields where they were not proficient or did not have an advantage, they should still be more outstanding than ordinary people.
This was a true genius, and it was Alexia's strict demand for herself—!
Therefore,
Mere Western fencing,
In Alexia's hands, it seemed utterly insignificant.
Her learning ability and talent were exceptionally outstanding; within just a few months, she won the individual championships for épée, foil, and saber at the school, and then went on to represent the school in the national fencing championship, where she again won the individual championship, fully demonstrating what a true genius was.
Even though she was only a teenager at the time,
In the eyes of countless university students and professional fencers, she was like a child, but when Alexia's sharp and swift fencing truly hit their bodies, and the machine scoring card displayed the points, they finally came to their senses and truly realized what kind of fencing little monster was standing before them!
And this was Alexia… a true genius.
If others' genius titles required one percent talent and ninety-nine percent sweat and effort, then Alexia simply needed to put in ninety-nine percent of her talent and one percent of slight sweat, and that was enough.
This was the true difference between a genius and a monster—
"Swish——————!!!"
The camera pulls back,
Alexia, holding the blazing Flaming Cross Greatsword, swiftly darted towards Lisa, delivering a clean and precise tricky sword strike aimed at Lisa's shoulder and heart.
These two places were close and adjacent,
And in extremely dangerous positions,
As long as Alexia wished… she could easily switch between piercing the shoulder and piercing the heart.
This would require Lisa's own choice, to see whether she wanted her shoulder or her heart.
If it was the heart, Alexia would not hesitate to pierce a large hole through Lisa's shoulder, tearing apart the joints and bones inside, causing her arm to be severed!
If Lisa chose the shoulder,
Then things would be even simpler.
Alexia would let Lisa's heart experience the sensation of a chilling pierce and being scorched by flames, making her taste the fatal price for daring to threaten her with such arrogance.
Alexia could easily use her extreme speed and superb swordsmanship to attack any critical part of Lisa's body, and this was where her confidence lay.
But Alexia overlooked one thing,
That is… this was actually a war between women, and… it was also a war comparing the strength of biochemical viruses.
So-called swordsmanship… actually did not occupy too important a proportion in it.
It was merely a means of attack, definitely not the key to measuring the balance of victory and defeat—
Therefore,
Lisa's counter-attack method…
Might be even more crude, direct, and brutal than what Alexia, this noble genius woman, could imagine!
After all,
Compared to a genius noblewoman like Alexia, Lisa, who had been tormented by the Umbrella Corporation for nearly thirty-one years, was a typical country bumpkin.
Her fighting dictionary didn't contain the word "swordsmanship."
Smashing people with a laundry club was her most suitable combat style, so a choice between the heart or the shoulder was something Lisa didn't even need to consider!
"Hmph—!!!"
With a low growl,
As expected, facing Alexia's tricky incoming Flaming Greatsword, Lisa had no intention of dodging at all.
After a low growl to build up her rage, she simply used her own body to take the powerful piercing attack head-on.
"Pfft… Boom—!!!"
The next second,
Alexia's tricky Flaming Greatsword indeed instantly pierced Lisa's shoulder, burning a hideous bloody hole through it.
Lisa's entire left shoulder was almost completely ruined, with all joints and bones pulverized by the fiercely burning Flaming Greatsword, seemingly on the verge of being severed.
But even with such terrifying injuries,
There was not a single trace of pain or grimace on Lisa's masked face.
Instead, she remained expressionless, staring intently at Alexia.
For the G Virus,
Such injuries were almost commonplace, so Lisa didn't care at all.
On the contrary… just as Alexia was about to pull out the Flaming Greatsword and continue attacking, Alexia noticed something was amiss.
"Gurgle… Gurgle…"
The grotesque, bloody hole in Lisa's shoulder, the penetrating wound, astonishingly healed rapidly the moment the Flaming Greatsword was pulled out.
It was almost visible to the naked eye, as a large amount of flesh began to grow wildly, gradually filling the gaping wound.
And by the time Alexia reacted… understanding just how abnormal Lisa's G Virus recovery ability was, Lisa's charged attack had already arrived!
"Buzz…"
"Whoosh————!"
A strong gust of wind assailed her ears,
Alexia quickly came to her senses, only to find a black fist rapidly enlarging in her face and field of vision.
The outer layer of that slender arm seemed to be covered in a thick metallic film, entirely dark gold in color.
That was precisely Lisa's most proficient G Virus enhancement, elevating the hardness of her arm and fist to the level of steel.
And such a hard, steel-like fist,
Landed directly on Alexia's mutated pretty face.
"Bang—!"
This punch!
Hit the bullseye,
The crisp impact sound made Alexia's brain suddenly go blank, and she instantly lost the ability to think.
A terrifying force assaulted her from her cheek.
By the time her mind reacted again, she was already uncontrollably sent flying backward, tumbling several times on the ground before finally coming to a complete stop.
Alexia's mutated, pretty face was marred by a deep, sunken fist print.
A large amount of blood seeped from the wound caused by the punch, and Alexia's beautiful face seemed to have had its cheekbone broken, as if half of her face was deeply sunken and completely distorted, as if she had been beaten and disfigured.
The numb sensation temporarily made Alexia lose feeling in her cheek.
"…"
This slight injury was not enough to severely wound Alexia, but as Alexia touched her sunken, disfigured cheek, the veins on her forehead gradually began to twist.
The T-Veronica Virus's recovery ability was not fast, especially for such minor wounds, which made it even harder to stimulate the virus's autonomous recovery ability.
This meant Alexia would have to live with the injury for a few minutes before it could return to normal.
This outcome,
Undoubtedly infuriated Alexia to the extreme.
She could feel that Lisa could have inflicted greater damage just now, but this wretched woman deliberately chose to punch her, which made Alexia realize that Lisa wanted to toy with her.
And this behavior, which completely disregarded her, plunged Alexia into even greater anger.
This was an extremely insulting act,
And Alexia, with her extremely high self-esteem, absolutely could not accept such an insult!
One might ask, how does a country bumpkin from a village make a noble young master from the town furious?
Is it by grabbing his collar for a so-called knight's duel?
No…! Of course not.
The best way is to punch his pretty face and smear some cow dung on it!
This way, arrogant noble young masters and ladies will be unable to bear such humiliation and fall into deep, furious indignation.
This method works every time!
And what Lisa was doing now was exactly that.
She had no intention of entering a death match with Alexia from the start.
Instead, to avenge Alexia's bullying of Javier earlier, she planned to thoroughly toy with the self-important noble young lady first…
And without a doubt,
Judging by the current situation, Lisa's plan succeeded.
Even the genius prodigy Alexia could not endure such humiliation, after all, her arrogant and conceited personality would not allow her to make such a fool of herself.
Therefore—
"Ugh ah um…"
"You're asking for death! You bitch, whore, I'm going to tear you limb from limb!
I will make you pay for what you just did—!!!"
Alexia continuously spewed out vulgar epithets, cursing.
It seems our so-called noble young lady, when faced with extreme anger, her noble upbringing doesn't make much difference after all.
In fact, she cursed even more vulgarly and shamelessly than Lisa, the country bumpkin.
It seems that so-called education… cannot be simply distinguished by noble status.
"Pfft… Boom…!!!"
Without any hesitation,
Alexia, slowly rising from the ground, let out an enraged curse, then fiercely splattered copious amounts of crimson blood from her wrists.
The moment this blood touched the air, it immediately began to burn, forming scorching flames, and these crimson flames, under Alexia's control, instantly transformed into a dense swarm of flame beasts.
