Souryuu patted her clothes and looked at the White-Haired Girl across from her, her expression turning serious.
The White-Haired Girl hadn't had time to deploy her Ship Qi Shield during the previous attack, so it was no exaggeration to say she took the full damage. To think you're still not dead—how tough is your life?
"Heeheehee! It's useless, it's useless! Your ticklish attacks can't kill me. I am the Third Abyssal Princess of Azure Island, Middle Princess. You've heard of me, right? I'm different from those two trash before me. I am invincible!" Middle Princess said overbearingly.
"Uh! Actually, I think you should stop talking big. Your head is bleeding non-stop!" Illustrious pointed at Middle Princess's head and said, somewhat speechlessly.
Middle Princess was covered in black stains, her clothes were in tatters, exposing her skin, and there were several bloody gashes on her body that were bleeding profusely. The blood loss was quite significant; she was lucky to be alive, but she was basically on the verge of Death. Now, she just needed a little 'help' to be sent straight to the afterlife.
"You're joking! It's just a minor injury, not worth mentioning. Now watch how I take your lives and bury you in the sea!" Middle Princess looked heavily injured, but her tone suggested it was no big deal. Not only that, she intended to use her broken body to finish off Illustrious and the others.
"Fine! If you can do it, then try me." Dido reached into the void, and a greatsword suddenly appeared in her hand. As she held it at an angle, a crisp sword hum spread out in all directions.
Middle Princess smiled and didn't reply. purple Ship Qi condensed in her right hand, and a Purple Light Energy Ball about two feet in diameter rapidly formed. She aimed it at Dido and the others, and with a flash of purple light, the energy ball shot out.
Walking in front of Dido and Illustrious, Souryuu said disdainfully, "You have the nerve to fire such a small energy ball? It's laughable. Step aside, I'll handle this alone."
The energy ball tore through the sky, disappearing in a flash. In the blink of an eye, it reached Souryuu. When it was only a foot away, the composed Souryuu finally extended her right hand and deployed a Ship Qi Shield to defend.
"What a show-off! It's just a small energy ball, yet she makes it look like she's blocking an ultimate move," Illustrious said, shaking her head.
"Exactly! I can't stand her," Dido agreed with a shrug.
Faced with Illustrious and Dido's sarcasm, Souryuu frowned slightly and said irritably, "What do you know? This is called being prepared. Whether it's a big move or a small one, I take every hit seriously. You should learn from my attitude if you want to survive on the battlefield, otherwise, you won't even know how you died."
Seeing the Purple Light Energy Ball strike the shield, Middle Princess, not far away, curled her lips slightly: It seems she fell for it.
The Purple Light Energy Ball crashed directly into the Ship Qi Shield. Unlike an ordinary energy ball, it didn't get blocked; instead, it passed right through the Ship Qi Shield without any resistance.
"What! There's something strange about this energy ball." Just as Souryuu was about to drop the Ship Qi Shield and dodge, it was too late. The Purple Light Energy Ball slammed solidly into Souryuu's chest without hindrance. "It's over, my life is forfeit!"
"Souryuu!" Dido and Illustrious cried out in unison, deeply worried.
Souryuu closed her eyes, only to find that the Purple Light Energy Ball didn't explode as expected. Instead, it merged into her body. She checked with her Divine Sense and found no foreign objects. She touched herself and found no injuries, which left her very confused. Surely the opponent wouldn't fire a shot for no reason?
Dido and Illustrious flew to Souryuu's side, showing their concern. Everyone was in the same boat now; losing anyone would be a blow to their combat power!
"Souryuu, how are you? Is your body okay?" Dido asked gently.
"My Divine Sense is stronger than yours, let me take a look!" Without waiting for Souryuu's consent, Illustrious placed her hand on Souryuu's chest to investigate. After a moment, she found no issues.
After checking for a while, Illustrious withdrew her hand and frowned, as if deep in thought.
"Well? Am I okay?" Souryuu started to worry. Could Middle Princess have planted some kind of time bomb? She was most afraid of having a ticking time bomb in her body that could explode at any moment.
"I don't know! I didn't find anything anyway," Illustrious said, spreading her hands.
"Then why were you frowning? You made me think a time bomb was planted in my body!" Souryuu shouted, her right fist clenched.
"I was frowning because I was calculating how big your chest is. From the touch, I calculated you're a D-cup. My god! I didn't expect you to look small but actually be a hidden cow." Illustrious said seriously and excitedly, "It seems you really can't judge anything by its appearance!"
Hearing this, a vein popped on Souryuu's forehead, and she said in a rage, "Can I beat you up?"
"Are you having a fun chat over there? Since you're so happy, let me make you even happier." Seeing that Illustrious and the others had forgotten about her, Middle Princess was quite furious.
"Unique Ability—Grafting the Flowers!"
Middle Princess raised her right hand and snapped her fingers. Suddenly, Souryuu felt as if her body was about to explode.
After performing this action, the injuries on Middle Princess's body had completely vanished, and her clothes were restored to new. It was unbelievable that she had fully recovered in such a short time.
With a boom, several wounds appeared on Souryuu's body, blood spraying from them. Unable to bear the intense pain, she coughed up a mouthful of blood and fainted instantly. As Souryuu lost the strength to fly and began to fall toward the sea, Illustrious caught her.
"Hey! Souryuu! Souryuu! Don't you die!" Illustrious checked Souryuu's breathing and found a faint trace of life. "Dido, you deal with Middle Princess first. I'll help you after I take Souryuu to a safe place."
After Illustrious spoke, a powerful aura erupted from her body, wrapped in countless Silver Prayer Qi. With a whoosh, she flew toward a small island in the distance.
"Thinking of escaping? Not if I have anything to say about it. Stay right there." Middle Princess shot toward Illustrious but was blocked by a sword qi mid-flight.
Middle Princess waved her right hand, shattering the sword qi. Looking at Dido, who had swung the sword qi, Middle Princess frowned slightly. "Get out of my way."
"I won't! Your opponent is me. Don't think you're leaving here." Dido said with a serious expression.
"You're looking for Death! I'll grant your wish." Knowing that pursuit was hopeless, Middle Princess attacked Dido like lightning.
"Hee hee! Bring it on! Just what I wanted. It would be too boring otherwise," Dido said happily.
