A pleasant, almost ecstatic smile even appeared on her face.
"That's interesting."
She murmured softly, the veins on her right hand, which held the knife, bulging slightly.
"But compared to the monsters in the simulation training, you..."
"You're far from qualified!"
The moment she finished speaking, her entire demeanor changed abruptly!
If she was a sharp yet restrained ancient sword before, now she is a peerless weapon that has just drunk blood and craves more slaughter!
【Water Breathing Third Form: Flowing Dance!】
Saeko Busujima's steps became unpredictable, her figure moving like flowing water, darting freely through the five people's encirclement.
In her hands, the long sword transformed into a winding, flowing stream. Each swing was graceful and beautiful, yet it concealed a deadly intent!
"what?!"
The Castle Familiar, wielding a tower shield, narrowed his eyes sharply, realizing that his shield couldn't pinpoint the woman's location at all!
The opponent's movement trajectory was completely unpredictable, and every time he blocked, he missed!
The other, [Castle], wielding a giant axe, attacked with clumsy movements, each powerful slash being narrowly dodged by Saeko.
The feeling was like a strong man swinging a hammer, but he couldn't hit a nimble butterfly.
"it's here!"
Knight Rhine seized a fleeting opportunity, thrusting his flaming longsword at an extremely tricky angle toward Saeko's back!
However, Saeko Busujima didn't turn her head.
Her body twisted in an unnatural way, and she swung the long sword in her hand backward.
[Clang! 】
The swords clashed again, and Rhine felt a tremendous force, causing him to stagger backward uncontrollably...
"too naive."
A cold voice rang in her ears.
Before she knew it, Saeko Busujima had circled around to her back!
【Pfft! 】
The sword flashed!
Rhine's shoulder armor was instantly sliced open, and a line of blood spurted out!
"Sister!" Mai Yin exclaimed in surprise and rushed back to help.
But Saeko Busujima's target was never them.
Having landed a successful blow, she didn't even glance at the injured Rhine. Her figure transformed into a phantom once more, rushing directly towards the [monk] behind her who was continuously casting a spell!
Capture the thief first and capture the king!
In team battles, prioritize eliminating the healer!
This is the core tactic that Zhou Ye has emphasized countless times to them during daily training.
"Oh no! Protect me!"
The monk's expression changed drastically. He never expected that, even when surrounded by four melee fighters, the other party could still find him so accurately!
However, it was all too late.
"Women who wield swords, don't be so arrogant!"
A powerful and authoritative shout came from the top of the teaching building!
A crimson pillar of fire, even more intense and concentrated than the flames on the Rhine sisters' swords, shot out like a cannonball, instantly traversing a distance of tens of meters and precisely blocking the path between Saeko Busujima and the [monk]!
【boom--!】
The pillar of fire landed, unleashing an astonishing heat wave that scorched the ground black.
Saeko Busujima was forced to stop. She looked up at the direction from which the flames had come.
Beside Leval Phoenix stood a stunningly beautiful woman with a 4.5-inch bust, wearing revealing red leather armor, and sporting long, wavy blonde hair.
She is Levallos's "Queen," and Aini, the "Marquis of Flame," ranked thirty-fifth among the Seventy-Two Pillars of Demons.
"I am Sophia Aini, the Queen of Lord Leval!"
She looked down at Saeko Busujima, her eyes filled with arrogance and disdain.
"If you're also good at manipulating fire, give this a try!"
She stretched out her slender hand, and a ball of black flame, constantly compressing and spinning, took shape in her palm.
The flames emitted a more dangerous aura than ordinary flames, filled with an aura of destruction and curse.
It was the power of the powerful item Leval gave to his followers—the Ring of Black Flame!
Saeko Busujima narrowed her eyes and licked her dry lips.
She slowly pointed the blade at the woman on the rooftop, her sickly smile growing ever more pronounced.
"Finally, someone decent has arrived."
Chapter 153 Nami: Take this Elemental Feast!
Saeko Busujima narrowed her eyes and licked her dry lips.
She slowly pointed the blade at the woman on the rooftop, her sickly smile growing ever more pronounced.
"Finally, someone decent has arrived."
The fighting spirit emanating from her was like a tangible flame, soaring into the sky.
Just as tensions were about to escalate and a conflict was about to erupt, a slightly languid yet energetic voice suddenly broke in.
"Ah, change of players!"
A figure landed nimbly beside Saeko Busujima, carrying a magnificent magic staff with a gemstone at its tip gleaming dangerously.
It was Nami.
"Saeko, I'm leaving this [Empress] Sophia Aini to you."
Nami pointed the tip of her cane at Sophia on the roof of the teaching building, speaking as if it were a matter of course, like picking out the freshest cabbage at a market.
"You've taken so many kills, you should at least leave one for me, right?"
She complained with a straight face, nudging Saeko's waist with her elbow.
"Otherwise, if the other girls say that you, Saeko Busujima, are a VIP, and I, Nami Tohsaka, am just a pushover, how embarrassing would that be in front of everyone!"
Saeko Busujima's almost boiling killing intent froze for a moment because of Nami's interruption.
She turned her head, her purple eyes showing no displeasure, only a hint of pure confusion.
"face?"
"Head?"
These words were far too unfamiliar to a swordsman immersed in life-or-death battles.
Nami sighed in exasperation.
"It's all about results! KPIs! Understand?"
“We’re a team, but there needs to be competition within a team! If you steal all the limelight, how are the support and ranged DPS players supposed to get a raise?”
Her words made Zhou Ye's cheek twitch involuntarily.
What does this guy take this fight for? A company team-building activity to boost sales?
Saeko Busujima remained silent for a moment, seemingly trying to understand Nami's unique logic.
Then, she slowly nodded.
Her terrifying killing intent receded like a tide, returning to its previous restrained state.
She shifted her position, giving Nami the direct view of Sofia Aini, and then turned her attention back to the two knights and the two castles.
"Ok."
Her voice returned to its usual cool and aloof tone.
"This demon, Aini, one of the seventy-two nobles, is now in your hands."
Saeko Busujima tapped the ground with the tip of her knife, her eyes flashing a warning as she looked at Nami.
"If you lose, don't blame me for stealing your kills."
"rest assured!"
Nami patted her chest confidently, "It's a perfect match for my major!"
The roof of the teaching building.
Sofia Aini was furious as she listened to the conversation between the two human women below.
distribute?
I've been assigned to a job?
Who is she?
She is Lord Leval Phoenix's "Empress"! She is the esteemed "Marquis of Flames," Aini! She is a high-ranking demon!
Now, in the mouths of these two lowly humans, I've become a spoils of war that can be "distributed" at will? A "head" used to measure their team's performance?
What a shame!
This is even more painful than killing her!
"you……"
Sofia Aini's voice trembled with extreme anger, and the swirling black flame in her palm suddenly expanded.
