The hollow skull lifted in disbelief, gazing at the girl standing before him, confronting a demon to defend him.
This was the first time... the first time a stranger had looked past this terrifying exterior and seen the human heart within him.
Seeing the moment was right, Makima curled her lips into a cold smile.
"More talk is useless. He won't leave here alive!"
Her eyes narrowed, filled with killing intent: "Since you wish to be buried with him, then so be it!"
Poor Quanxi hadn't received the script at all, nor was she informed this was acting.
She just thought Makima was acting particularly strange today.
But since Makima said it was time to fight... Quanxi raised the crossbow on her arm, and the black arrows instantly locked onto the center of Lux's brow.
"Die."
In that instant, Lux was genuinely startled.
That was Quanxi!
That arrow would kill someone!
However, Makima naturally wouldn't let that happen.
Just one second before Quanxi pulled the trigger—
Control activated!
Makima's pupils subtly contracted, and an invisible force abruptly yanked Quanxi's arm.
Swish!
The originally fatal arrow grazed past Lux's ear and blew up a road sign behind her.
This scene made Ghost Rider's eye sockets shrink dramatically, grinding his teeth in fury, only hating his own powerlessness.
These demons truly deserved to be cut into a thousand pieces. How dare they attack such a kind and righteous young girl?
Quanxi: "???"
This battle-hardened Devil Hunter was completely bewildered.
She looked back at Makima in disbelief, her face clearly asking—
"What do you mean?"
Although Lux was drenched in cold sweat from the fright, her reaction was extremely fast.
"An opportunity!"
"Light Binding!"
With a wave of her staff, a dazzling cage of light instantly formed, trapping the bewildered Quanxi in place.
Immediately after.
"Translucent Singularity!"
A blinding orb of light exploded beneath Quanxi's feet.
Lux carefully canceled the damage, retaining only the visual effect.
Boom—!!
The dazzling White light suddenly swept across the entire dark highway, and the intense flash temporarily blinded everyone present.
When the light dissipated.
Ghost Rider struggled to open his eyes and discovered, to his shock—
That terrifying demon was actually "instantly killed" by this young girl with a single move?!
She was completely blasted into dust, leaving nothing behind!
In reality... [Summon Ended]
[Quanxi (Crossbow Devil) has entered cooldown, remaining cooldown: 23 hours and 59 minutes.]
"What a powerful sorcerer..."
Makima maintained a serious expression, her acting skills flawless.
She raised her finger, attempting to launch another attack.
As a result, Lux quickly stepped forward, completely ignoring Makima's telekinesis, and grabbed her outstretched index finger.
She then gripped it and lightly tossed her aside, like throwing trash.
Whoosh—!
Makima herself was flung away by Lux in an exaggerated posture that completely defied the laws of physics!
She traced an elegant parabola in the air, flying dozens of meters away before finally disappearing into the darkness beside the highway.
"..."
The entire scene fell silent.
Ghost Rider stared dumbfounded.
Lux herself was bewildered.
"Pfft..."
Sumire, who was controlling everything from behind the scenes, couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.
Makima really was possessed by the acting spirit. With that move, the strength Lux displayed probably wasn't inferior to Hulk's... As everyone knows, Lux is a robust woman...
