Chapter 87 : Elemental Stone Person
Leaving C Company's warehouse, Bai Ling was running hard, trying to shake off the pursuers behind her. Soon several C Company employees caught up - they ran very fast, already exceeding human limits, and were soon close behind.Carrying Chi Xiaoyu through passages wasn't convenient. Seeing the employees getting closer behind her, she became somewhat nervous.
"Quick, catch her!"
"Don't let her escape."
Bai Ling came to a fork and turned left. When she realized something was wrong, it was too late - ahead were several E Company locksmiths blocking the exit, behind were several C Company enhanced humans catching up.
【Done for】
【Need to find a way to break through】
Bai Ling hesitated whether to activate the mark on her hand. This might be the only way. Just then, she remembered she still had a deck of playing cards.
【This deck of cards might be worth trying】
Just as the locksmiths ahead had released light doors and gathered light beams, just as the employees behind had swung their fists to strike.
Bai Ling threw all the playing cards in her hand. Countless cards flew through the air, lighting up with pattern after pattern.
People around first looked puzzled at this scene, but then their expressions froze.
【What is this】
【Why do they seem to be glowing】
【Not good】
Various effects appeared out of thin air - flame explosions, ice freezing, tree growth, undead revival, steel corrosion. The scene was chaotic. Bai Ling successfully left C Company headquarters. The explosions here hadn't stopped. She didn't know that as cards were activated, the last card to light up had a nuclear symbol drawn on it.
Towering flames rose, powerful shock waves spread out, an unprecedented explosion formed. Bai Ling was blown down by this shock wave, along with Chi Xiaoyu, falling against a nearby wall.
Looking at the light that was so dazzling even in this dark night, as if daylight had come in that instant, Bai Ling couldn't help but sigh:
"Did I just set off a nuclear bomb?"
While she was sighing, a brilliant, colorful light door suddenly opened beside her. An elegantly dressed woman appeared, wearing a small lock around her neck. At a glance, one could tell her status in E Company was extraordinary.
"Found you."
She rose into the air, surrounded by seven light doors, all gathering energy, targeting Bai Ling.
Seeing this, Bai Ling didn't hesitate to press the mark on her hand. Even if it would sacrifice some memories, compared to losing her life, this was nothing. With the Blood Witch's power being extracted, Bai Ling skillfully summoned the Crimson Blood Domain.
Seven colored lights shot toward Bai Ling and the others. The blood around Bai Ling simultaneously began rising, forming blood walls to resist the light.
"Run quickly!"
Chi Xiaoyu also got up, pulling Bai Ling's hand. But just then, Bai Ling suddenly asked puzzledly:
"Eh? Why are we here?"
【What's the situation】
Chi Xiaoyu shook her head. Now wasn't the time to think about this - saving their lives was urgent. She pulled Bai Ling into a small alley in the building.
"Chi Xiaoyu, why is she chasing us?"
"..."
【What's wrong with Bai Ling? Did she hit her head and lose her memory?】
Fortunately, Bai Ling's blood domain was still in effect. The blood on the ground would follow her movement, constantly helping them resist attacks.
"Hmph, you won't escape!"
The woman raised her hand and brought it down forcefully. Seven light doors fell to the ground, surrounding the two, beginning to release light beams, concentrating attacks on the two at the center. Fortunately, the blood walls raised by the Crimson Blood Domain could protect them from all directions. Once a light beam broke through one blood wall, a new blood wall would replace it.
But the light beams grew stronger over time, while the Crimson Blood Domain's defense gradually weakened.
Just then, Blood Princess suddenly appeared behind the woman. The Crimson Blood Domain hadn't been opened - she hadn't come out for fresh air in a long time.
"One Slash, Body Annihilation!"
With her scythe swinging down, a blood-red blade light pursued the woman. The woman kept appearing and disappearing through doors, trying to dodge this strike, but it was ultimately futile. That slash hit the door and her together, destroying the light door. A bloody wound appeared on the woman's chest, and she spat out blood.
"Damn."
Blood Princess's attack didn't kill the enemy, causing her to suffer some backlash. Her anomalous technique was extremely powerful, but the cost was that if the opponent didn't die, she would suffer backlash, just like when she failed to kill that Bug Anomaly elder before.
The E Company woman looked angrily at everyone. Thinking that she was actually injured by ants made her very angry. She gently waved her hand, and the lock around her neck slowly opened.
Terrifying pressure struck. Stones were gathered together, centered on that lock. The lock emitted light, and an elemental stone person radiating light formed. He looked at the woman, then at Bai Ling and the others.
"You summoned me to deal with these ants?"
"Hmph, kill them. Don't talk nonsense."
"Hahaha, this is the second time. You have one more chance. Whatever, just don't forget what you promised me."
The elemental being floated into mid-air, gathering surrounding building debris and corpses, his aura growing stronger.
"I am the Elemental Lord, the purest energy incarnation in the world. Light Element - Radiant Glory!"
Countless blinding lights spread out. Energy light gushed out like a spring. In an instant, the entire city was illuminated. A tremendously thick energy began gathering, targeting Bai Ling.
"Not good!"
Bai Ling understood that this strike was impossible for her to resist now, even if she touched the mark again to advance to A-grade.
【Too late】
【Is it ending?】
Just then, a voice came from the sky.
"Hello, your express delivery has arrived!"
Two lolis holding hands suddenly fell from the sky, smashing a huge crater in the ground.
【Good heavens, such a big crater. How many meters did you fall from?】
"Little Blue, Little Red?"
"Please sign for it!"
Little Blue handed Bai Ling a contract.
Under that dazzling white light, she couldn't open her eyes at all. Under Little Blue's urging, Bai Ling couldn't read it in time, so she wrote her name.
"Contract established."
"From now on, you're a member of our D Company."
"Ah?"
The girls held hands and said in unison:
"I am the pure water spirit, the boundless ocean."
"I am the flawless fire spirit, the eternally burning flame."
With their true words recited, a ball of flame and water vapor intertwined. The girls looked at the elemental stone person in the sky and waved their arms hard.
"Heya!"
A red and blue intertwined sphere flew out, contending with that incandescent light. For a moment, the sky was filled with various colors, like being in a dream.
