With the ability to transform, I am a judge.

The sword wounded Bud's arm, but unfortunately, the Imperial Arm called "Thunder God's Wrath - Admiral" was an armor type, so the blow was not fatal.

The first strike failed, and the distance between the two closed to a point where the long sword could not be used freely. Bud slammed his hands inward.

A burst of lightning instantly enveloped Yang Li, her clothes quickly turning black and blood spurting out. At the same time, her blade transformed and lengthened, becoming a monstrous spearhead that pierced Bud's chest...

PS: 1. I overestimated my speed and underestimated the appeal of the novel to me. As it turns out, some books by top authors are just so good to read.

2. I'd like to recommend a book to everyone. Although I haven't read much of it, it's truly outstanding... The book is called "The Original Text Compiler." So far, I think the best-portrayed character in it is undoubtedly Dr. Roman Solomon, the Magic King.

Chapter 241, Section 247: The Fierce Battle of the Commercial Street

Chapter 241: Fierce Battle in the Commercial Street

Because of the increase in her physical defense and the significant reduction in her pain, Yang Li's maniacal laughter remained unchanged, even though she was in the midst of a surging sea of ​​thunder.

The hook spear pierced through the heavy armor, its tip, covered in countless barbs, stabbing directly into Bud's chest, before stopping. The opponent's physical defenses were incredibly strong.

Feeling the resistance of the hook spear in his muscles, Yang Li suddenly stomped on the ground to withdraw from the Sea of ​​Lightning, and lightly tapped the ground a few times to leap onto a bungalow.

When the hook spear detached from Bud's chest, it brought with it a large amount of blood and flesh, instantly reducing the opponent's health by at least 30%.

With a forceful shake, the debris off the gun barrel was removed, and half of the fox mask on Yang Li's face shattered, with the lower half falling onto the roof.

The excited and crazed smile on Bud's face sent chills down his spine. So far, apart from using his Imperial Arm to control lightning, he had not been able to hit his opponent even once!

Without giving Bud a chance to treat his wounds, and seeing the blood gushing from the other man's solid chest, Yang Li charged straight at him with his gun after landing on the ground.

Yang Li gripped the sharp, ruthless hook spear tightly, thrusting, smashing, slashing, swinging, and chopping...

Its unconventional attack style, unlike that of typical long-range weapons, left Bud momentarily at a loss, its wild fighting style reminiscent of a large dog.

As some long-forgotten memories resurfaced, I recalled a beautiful woman wielding dual pistols, whose magnificent yet deadly divine-level gun dance was unforgettable.

There was a time when Yang Li seemed to have expressed a reluctance to learn spearmanship, apparently because spearmen have E-rank luck...

But now that I think about it, it was definitely the spear that had the biggest impact on her, after all, it was a skill that she was very proud of.

Yang Li's master-level marksmanship alone was insufficient to capture the essence of that woman's gunplay. Therefore, after much deliberation, he concluded that Big Dog's wild marksmanship was the easiest to replicate.

The raging thunder could not stop Yang Li's advance at all. The hook spear in her hand did not demonstrate the true meaning of "an inch longer, an inch stronger," but instead gradually reduced the combat distance between the two.

The violent stomping shattered the floor, and the pitch-black hook spear, like a black light, instantly sealed off the space completely.

The hook spear's combo failed to harm Budo, who retreated while unleashing lightning and defending himself with his tough, armor-like Imperial Arms.

A crimson aura of blood swirled around Yang Li, relentlessly reducing Bud's speed without his awareness, and the scales of victory began to tip.

The black light flickered, and Yang Li's storm-like attacks seemed incredibly powerful, but they were not enough to harm Bud's core.

He had previously ripped a large chunk of flesh from the opponent's chest with a single shot, and it was through this unexpected exchange of wounds that he achieved this result.

The attacks became increasingly ferocious and violent, and Bud's various minor injuries continued to increase. Mixed martial arts techniques were simply too easy to counter.

Most long weapons are perfect counters to melee fighters, not to mention extremely cruel weapons like the hook gun, whose barbs are practically a bloodletting marvel.

The black hook spear was used for both thrusting and smashing, but in Yang Li's hands, smashing was more common than thrusting, since the Imperial Arms on Bud's body severely weakened thrusting attacks.

However, armored Imperial Arms also have weaknesses, namely, insufficient absorption of blunt force and a reduction in the user's speed.

By continuously creating small wounds, the 'Blood Scar' mark is accumulated, and theoretically, there is no upper limit to the number of these marks.

Each of them could weaken Bud's physical defense to some extent. If this continued for about three minutes, Bud, this heavily armored warrior, would be no different from a squishy mage.

Glancing at the combat data provided by 'Abyss Paradise', Yang Li suddenly felt a sense of crisis. He saw that Bud, who had been passively taking hits, suddenly rushed forward.

The hook spear was forcibly parried by his arm armor and pierced his side abdomen with unstoppable force. The blood damage from the weapon had already weakened Bud too much.

The Shadow of Slaughter was tightly gripped by Bud, a hint of pleasure showing on his resolute face, as his lightning-wrapped hand smeared Yang Li's face.

The mask shattered instantly, and unprecedentedly violent lightning enveloped Yang Li, before a fist the size of a sandbag slammed into her abdomen.

With a strength attribute of 37 points, Budna blasted Yang Li away, while the Shadow of Slaughter fell to the side.

With his health dropping to 47%, Yang Li was still unable to move due to the surging lightning around him. He could only watch as Bud gradually approached, and blue-white electricity surged from Bud's hands.

"What an extraordinary warrior! It's a pity that his mind seems to have been clouded, leaving only his fighting instincts, which are no match for me... Such a warrior has chosen to side with that rabble of revolutionaries, which is truly a pity."

Bud's words were cold and sharp. Now he looked nothing like someone who had been severely injured and was about to be tortured to death.

In order to defeat Yang Li, whose speed far surpassed his own, Bud had been observing and holding back, and finally took him down in one fell swoop by bursting out after a brief period of charging up.

Although Bud only has 35% health points now, while Yang Li still has 47%, the battle is not as simple as these numbers suggest.

If Yang Li's head were blown off by Bud right now, she would die instantly, since what she possesses is only semi-datafied, not a fully-fledged data life form.

With trembling fingers unable to move, Yang Li finally broke free from that strange state at the most critical moment.

Yang Li quietly grasped a long sword that was sheathed in his hand. The next moment, Bude suddenly stopped and jumped back, and the ground shattered instantly!

Countless stones rained down on Bud like cannonballs, but the giant bone dragon Destagul retracted its bone claws and opened its mouth wide.

An astonishing azure energy was gathering within it. Just as Bud released countless bolts of lightning to interrupt it, a figure slightly smaller than Bud crashed directly into the speeding lightning.

"Roar!!"

Absorbing the energy without any pressure, Epman, its fur slightly charred, roared at Bud, but did not attack. Its current task was to protect Yang Li, who was temporarily unable to move.

The minimal electrical current numbed Yang Li's nerves, making it difficult for her to even move. Even the Eighth Chamber could only draw its sword slightly and summon only the two strongest puppets.

A thick, azure energy beam was released, affecting most of the commercial street. Bud immediately unleashed lightning far exceeding that he had used in his battle with Yang Li, forming a barrier strong enough to protect his subordinates behind him.

These so-called elite Imperial Guards couldn't get involved in the previous battles, and now they can only watch as General Bud alone withstands the enemy's offensive.

In any case, these guys who have at most just entered the second tier and have limited skills have no chance of participating in battles against top-tier Imperial Arms users.

Moving her gradually recovering body, Yang Li slowly got up from the ground, thanks to the thunder she had just experienced, which allowed her to get rid of her 'drunken' state ahead of time.

Although her physical condition was still not very good, the electric current that numbed her nerves prevented her from moving quickly, which was actually quite troublesome.

Bud has tested her strength; it's time for her to retreat.

A figure suddenly appeared not far from Yang Li, waving and beckoning her to walk in that direction. Yang Li was slightly taken aback when she saw the person's appearance...

Chapter 242, Section 248: That Extremely Familiar Expression

Chapter 242: That Extremely Familiar Expression

Yang Li never imagined that she could sleep peacefully for a night in an unfamiliar territory; it was an unbelievable thing for her.

Even if she fully understood Night Raid through the anime, knowing the personality and methods of each character, that was not a reason for her to let her guard down.

The key was that Fenrir was there to protect her in the room, which allowed her to rest to this extent in the room she had just been assigned.

In fact, after Yang Li called Fenrir, who was at home, and showed him his disheveled and charred appearance, Fenrir's feelings of self-blame became fully apparent.

Leone, who appeared next to Yang Li at the time, was also quite curious about Fenrir, who possessed complete intelligence. However, due to the sense of threat that Fenrir brought, Leone, with her amazing intuition, did not say much.

His body remained in a very relaxed state, and with the help of recovery drugs, the injuries he sustained in the all-out battle with Bud have almost completely healed.

Yang Li felt a wet sensation on her face, as if something was licking and rubbing against it. This strange feeling made her open her eyes.

The first thing you see is a husky face taken from a bizarre angle...

Oh no, this is a wolf of the super dangerous species, it just looks a bit like a canine.

Reaching out, Yang Li pushed the dog's face away and sat up with a look of disgust. He was completely awakened from his daze.

It wasn't exactly a bad experience, but it certainly wasn't good either. Yang Li kicked Fenrir off the bed, then got out of bed to wash up.

The wet feeling on her face made Yang Li very uncomfortable. She didn't have a preference for close contact with pets, although she quite liked dogs and cats.

My love for dogs stems from my family's influence, while my love for cats is a result of a female cat lover who constantly recommended them to me.

To this day, she still clearly remembers the unprecedentedly dark expression on the girl's face when she saw a stray cat being kicked away from a garbage dump by a sanitation worker during a shopping trip.

Perhaps only Yang Li and the cat in this world could make that girl show such an expression?

Although it's not fair to compare yourself to a cat, the girl who spends every day with her is indeed powerless against small animals, especially cats.

After washing his face with water, Yang Li grabbed a new set of toothbrushes and got to work. He was quite speechless at the technological advancements of this world.

After all, they have things like toothbrushes, toothpaste, and even rifles, but horse-drawn carriages aren't very common in this world, let alone cars, which are much more advanced than horse-drawn carriages.

After cleaning up and washing up, Yang Li, feeling fully awake, quickly and skillfully tied her hair into a single ponytail.

She was still using Mai Shude's card. Yang Li was too tired last night and the situation of the night attack was unclear, so she did not choose to deactivate the card before going to sleep. The premonition of danger by a hybrid can help her avoid most dangers.

The reason she was ambushed and injured by Bud last night was because the only bonus on this card was swordsmanship, so it's normal that her weakness of only having a LV.1 master-level spear technique was exposed.

Coupled with that strange state of being neither drunk nor sober, although Yang Li still possessed complete consciousness and thinking ability, he seemed to have become the apprentice of a certain BBA in Celtic mythology, turning into a muscle-bound brute who only knew how to fight.

However, Yang Li doesn't really have much muscle; her body is very toned, and her strength is completely hidden in her slender frame.

At this point, one of the benefits of becoming stronger became apparent: with the significant improvement in her physical fitness, Yang Li's figure improved, and her charm increased dramatically.

"Hello."

"Ah, hello."

Seeing the petite figure suddenly appear beside her, Yang Li subconsciously gave way to the sink and stood aside to fix the wrinkles on her clothes.

Her waist-length, jet-black hair made her back view incredibly beautiful. Through the mirror on the sink, Yang Li could see her blank, crimson pupils—the ace assassin of the night raid, Chi Tong!

Yang Li had wanted to complain for a long time: just how lazy was the original author? They were so casual about even choosing a title…

Akame's name most likely comes from the color of her pupils, while that of Hei Tong goes without saying. Both sisters have names that sound incredibly casual.

After finishing her grooming, Yang Li was about to leave the bathroom when she noticed that Chi Tong, who had been brushing her teeth, was standing in front of her.

Akame, still wearing her pink pajamas, had completely lost the sharpness and murderous intent she displayed that night; all that remained was her cute and innocent charm.

"The boss is very busy, so I'll take you to meet the other members... By the way, have you decided to join us?"

Stared at by Akame with a blank look, Yang Li's expression turned helpless, but she still prepared to answer properly.

After she arrived at Night Raid last night, Najenda, the BOSS, invited her to join the fight against evil, perhaps because she valued her ability to fight Bud head-on.
