With a soft thud, Lin Sanjiu's feet left the ground. The cracked marble floor was immediately filled with smoke and dust, and many tiny shards flew into the air. Lin Sanjiu leaped into the air and made a half-turn in the air. Then, she punched her right fist with all her strength.
"You really don't want to give up, huh?" A faint chuckle came from under the cloak. The woman from the south wing remained motionless in the face of such a powerful attack. "Don't you believe what I said?"
Just as she was about to finish her sentence, her last word trembled slightly as if she was interrupted by something. It was Lin Sanjiu's fist that had struck her lower abdomen.
There was only a thin layer of muscle and fat separating Lin Sanjiu's fist from the churning blood, breath, and internal organs. It felt very fragile. Lin Sanjiu only needed to tear open this barrier and she could send her fist deep into the opponent's abdomen. However, a second later, Lin Sanjiu felt the same force that made her vision go black again. Her body was sent flying again.
"It's useless no matter how many times you try," the woman laughed in the shadow under the cloak.
Lin Sanjiu stabilized herself with great difficulty and landed on the ground. She wiped her face and smiled wickedly.
"I didn't know that I'm so strong now. What a delightful thing." The woman coughed when she said that, "It seems like you really intend to stay still and let me hit you?"
"As long as you can take it, I don't mind," the cloaked woman said slowly. It was as if she was interested in Lin Sanjiu's actions. "I'm really curious about what you plan to do. It's not like you didn't die under my 'Reflex'. "
Lin Sanjiu replied to her by pouncing at her again.
When Lin Sanjiu dashed toward her, even the cloaked woman, who had a special ability like [Mirror], couldn't help but shudder. Lin Sanjiu's aura was like that of a ferocious tiger that was about to devour its prey. It was too terrifying. However, the cloaked woman only needed a split second to restrain her instinct to escape. She raised her head slightly and took another blow from Lin Sanjiu.
Although it was a "blow", when the force returned to Lin Sanjiu's body, Lin Sanjiu felt that the cloaked woman's body was not strong enough. Only then did she realize how weak this description was.
Fortunately, she was only in a body of consciousness. Fortunately, even if her body of consciousness was scattered, it could still gather again.
If he had a physical body at this moment, perhaps half of his body would have exploded into a waterfall of flesh and blood.
Even so, Lin Sanjiu still curled up into a ball in the air. She couldn't move for a long time. The pain even reminded her of the "Human Poison".
It was funny that the person who had given her the heaviest blow at Kisaragi Station was actually herself.
"To be honest, I'm a little bored." A voice came from under the cloak. "With my [Mirror] —"
Before she could finish her sentence, Lin Sanjiu, who had just recovered, did not waste even half a second. She pounced on him for the third time — no, the fourth time.
If Lin Sanjiu's previous attacks were frightening, then this time, she could even make people forget to think. It was like a tsunami that swept across the land or a gigantic beast that was about to swallow a city. Even though Lin Sanjiu's body wasn't large, the cloaked woman seemed to be pinned to the ground by her shadow when Lin Sanjiu leaped into the air. She didn't even have the space to move.
"No matter what. I — "
She forced herself to say those few words, but her body had already been hit by the tsunami-like attack.
The library trembled and swayed, and plumes of dust fell from the ceiling.
This time, the person who was sent flying was the cloaked woman. When her body was in the air, she did not seem to realize what was happening. The word "all" in her mouth turned into a half-scream of disbelief. The opponent in front of her stopped charging forward. In the dim light, the silhouette of the cloaked woman condensed into a sharp silhouette.
When the cloaked woman touched the ground again, she exploded into a pile of flesh and bones that looked like powder.
From her lower abdomen, all the way to her chest and pelvis, there was nothing there. Since the torso was no longer attached to it, the two legs had already flown off to god knows where. If it weren't for the blood and flesh, it would be hard to tell that her body once existed.
Only her head, which was connected to her neck, was still intact. The torn cloak was blown away by the shockwave, revealing a face that was as pale as a sheet of paper. Lin Sanjiu didn't know if it was because she still had a few lives left. Or maybe it was because she still had a little bit of mental reaction left in her that the average-looking woman was still alive.
"No, impossible …" She tried her best to widen her eyes. Her vision seemed to be failing. Her black pupils were like mist, but she couldn't find Lin Sanjiu. "I … I … mirror …"
Lin Sanjiu wiped her face and walked to her side.
She was lying on a pile of torn cloth. The pale woman's head was motionless with her mouth open. She had lost all signs of life.
"Even in the end, you didn't forget about the 'mirror'," Lin Sanjiu stared at the head on the ground. "Don't tell me you still don't understand the essence of this ability?"
The description of "reflecting light like a mirror, reflecting attacks back" was already stated clearly in the introduction of the cloaked woman's ability. This was just an inappropriate analogy.
"It's true that you can reflect my attack back to me … But you forgot," Lin Sanjiu bent down to pick up the cloth and threw it at the woman's face. "You are not a mirror, and my attack is not light."
When Lin Sanjiu attacked the woman for the second time, she finally confirmed that the feeling she felt from her fist was really from the woman's internal organs and muscles. In other words, her attack was effective at that moment. According to the cloaked woman, she didn't feel anything strange even when she was attacked. She would only reflect the damage back to her. That was why she looked so calm and unaffected.
"Even if you are really a mirror, the moment the light shines on you, before it is reflected back, the light has already hit your body."
Regardless of whether the cloaked woman had turned into a mirror or maintained her physical body, there was a limit to how much she could withstand. Lin Sanjiu attacked the cloaked woman more ferociously with each attack just to find that limit.
Once she reached that upper limit, the cloaked woman would be smashed into pieces. Naturally, she wouldn't be able to reflect her attack.
Lin Sanjiu took a deep breath. She didn't look at the woman on the ground anymore. She turned and ran to where the siblings were.
The two kids saw that the battle had already ended, so they jumped up. Their faces were flushed as they screamed and cheered excitedly. Lin Sanjiu rushed to their side and was relieved when she saw that they were fine. However, when she looked around, she felt that something was off.
The library was a little too quiet.
Lin Sanjiu didn't see any of the duoluozhongs from the south wing team. The west wing team, which was fighting with them just a moment ago, was nowhere to be seen. Silvan wasn't around either. Only Siri, who was sitting still, and the echoes of the siblings' cheers were left in the empty hall of the library. It sounded a little strange.
"Where are those people?" Lin Sanjiu couldn't help asking. "Where did they go?"
The siblings' expressions froze for a moment.
"Well …" Reno seemed to find it hard to say something. He had a complicated expression on his face, "Uh, speaking of which …"
"You really won."
A melodious male voice rang out from nowhere, interrupting Reno's sentence. The siblings seemed relieved that they didn't have to explain anymore. Together with Lin Sanjiu, they looked in the direction of the voice.
Just now, Siri's work desk was clearly empty. However, Silvan was now leaning leisurely on the work desk with his hands in his pockets. His blonde hair, his combat suit, and half of his body were all dyed dark red by a large amount of blood.
When he smiled, only his white teeth could be seen. "We got all five books. Let's go and confirm them."
Lin Sanjiu stared at him and didn't move for a long time. (To be continued.)
