Poverty makes me capable of anything.

If you said this to someone else, that would be one thing, but I'm just calm about it.

Seeing that An Ran hadn't responded, Charlize continued, "Looks like you're going to put up a fight?"

Anran interrupted Charlize: "I think you might have misunderstood something."

"Ok?"

"I am not a mechanic."

"Still trying to argue!"

A red and black mist appeared in Charlize's right palm, looking extremely eerie.

"What kind of bullshit thief are you? Now, I declare your plan a failure."

Charlize waved her right hand.

Five fingers, imbued with red and black energy, traversed space and struck An Ran's right arm directly.

wow——

But to Charlize's surprise, Anran's body collapsed.

It transforms into a transparent entity resembling flowing water.

In the blink of an eye, it coalesced again in the background.

Just now, An Ran instantly deactivated her body's mimicry and then reassembled it behind her, resulting in this scene.

Undeterred by her missed attack, Charlize charged at Anran again.

This time she was incredibly fast, transforming into a phantom that was almost invisible to the naked eye the moment she took her first step.

brush.

In the blink of an eye, the museum's lobby was filled with wandering red and black phantoms.

These phantoms kept bouncing around, their ultimate target being An Ran, who was standing right in the middle.

Charlize didn't hit hard.

Firstly, there's no need to use your ultimate skill right away when dealing with a squishy mechanic.

Secondly, she was afraid that if she used too much force, she might destroy the museum, and then she would be a sinner.

Charlize's actions made Anran happy to play along.

She has no intention of killing anyone now.

If we kill Charlize, the Eternal Star Path might send an even more powerful Overlord.

Anran had no intention of relieving Leander of the pressure.

She even hoped that Leander and the people of the Eternal Star Path would fight to the death.

Ideally, they should all be critically injured and on the verge of death, so she can sneak over and finish them off.

Charlize's loud shout quickly pulled Anran back from her reverie.

"You dare to get distracted at a time like this? Looks like you're tired of living!"

whoosh-

Blood gushed out, crashing against An Ran's chest like a surging tide.

Charlize didn't hesitate to stick her right claw into Anran's arm.

Corrosion and impact combined with the consumption of blood.

A double blow will surely...

"Ok?"

Charlize paused, feeling as if it were all a dream.

She discovered that her attack had missed.

The demon woman appeared near the side door of the hall at some point.

"Trying to run? No way!"

Charlize chased after them again.

An Ran then started playing a cat-and-mouse game with her.

Despite Charlize’s best efforts to control the power in her hands, the Star Domain Ruler is, after all, the Star Domain Ruler.

After several more impacts, huge cracks, each about the width of a person, began to appear on the museum's interior walls.

"Why hasn't Charlize taken down that mechanic yet?"

Outside the museum.

The Eternal Star Road Overlord, who was struggling to cope with Leander, glanced at it.

He couldn't help but feel a little resentful.

His anger intensified, especially after he saw a red beam of light break through the museum's confinement and soar into the sky.

If you can't even complete the simplest task, what use are you?

Just then, Leander broke through two lines of defense and suddenly charged in.

A gray blade descended from the sky.

The ruler of the Eternal Star Path was unable to dodge in time and could only forcefully withstand the energy slash with his right arm.

bang——

The sound of metal clashing filled my ears.

The gray blade crumbled at the slightest touch.

But the ruler's situation wasn't much better.

His right arm withered away rapidly, as if all the moisture had been drained from it, turning as old and weathered as tree bark.

"Oh."

Leander scoffed.

He was almost out of breath from being surrounded by four people, so how could he not seize this opportunity when it suddenly appeared?

Having identified his target, Leander pressed his advantage relentlessly, displaying an aggressive intent to drain the distracted Starfield Ruler dry in one go.

"Stop him!"

The star system ruler had no time to pay attention to Charlize's situation.

Fighting Leander requires absolute concentration; otherwise, one might accidentally turn into a mummy.

Meanwhile, inside the museum, Anran once again reached out and blocked Charlize's attack.

She glanced at her grayish-white health bar; it had only dropped by a tenth, enough for her and Charlize to play for another five or six minutes.

An Ran smiled and said, "Don't you care about the battle situation outside? If this continues, you might have to face our group's attack alone."

Charlize remained unmoved: "I will never let you steal the Lemetta Stairs in front of me!"

"I never intended to steal it."

Charlize chuckled: "Who are you trying to fool? You're the one who sent out the notice and then brought these people over, aren't you?"

"This is a misunderstanding."

"Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, let me catch you first!"

Charlize leaned in.

The rolling red mist instantly enveloped An Ran.

Just as Charlize was about to lock Anran in the blood cage, she suddenly noticed a slight movement.

That came from the left.

someone!

Charlize quickly created distance between herself and Anran.

She looked closely and found that a woman with a disheveled appearance had appeared out of nowhere.

"LeMetta Stairs!"

Charlize gasped.

The entire museum is covered with spatial sealing devices, so even if they are damaged now, it will be difficult for outsiders to break through the barriers and arrive.

Therefore, it's self-evident where the spatial fluctuations she just sensed came from—

An internal subspace used to store the Lemetta Staircase!

Charlize stared intently at Charlene.

An Ran spoke first, asking, "Did you succeed?"

"Yes."

Charlene nodded.

She was somewhat relieved; if An Ran hadn't suddenly appeared, she would be dead by now, let alone able to successfully acquire the Lemet Tower Staircase.

"Let's leave from here first."

"it is good."

The two quickly exchanged ideas.

Charlize's face darkened: "Don't you guys take me seriously?"

No wonder An Ran seemed unhurried when fighting her; it turns out there were two of them.

That guy Keynes, he didn't even send out such important information.

An Ran shook her head: "I don't want to kill you right now, you'd better get out of my way."

"It's still uncertain who will kill whom."

Charlize snorted angrily.
