NIKKE, Swordmaster Ark Succubus Daily

Xiao Cao looked at the only human present, opened his mouth, and revealed a terrifying smile: "I only know one human with immense mental power approaching level five..."

"Leitch actually spoke?!"

This incident shocked all of Niki's present.

If this information were transmitted to the Ark, it would overturn countless papers on Lecher, enough to force the Ark to completely redefine its strategy towards Lecher.

Xiao Cao stared at the human for a while, then said, "So that's how it is. I'm going to take you back, human. Come with me."

"No! Commander, you can't go with me!"

Before Li Zuoyi could answer, Marian erupted in fury.

She could not allow the commander to be harmed in any way.

She still needs him; she needs him to find her again when she's lost.

And then the two stayed together...

"Sorry, I have an appointment and can't go with you." Li Zuoyi refused Xiao Cao's suggestion.

Besides, who knows what kind of treatment I'll receive after being taken away by it? It can't be a pretty girl's lap pillow, can it?

"Fine, I'll break your limbs, as long as I can take you back alive."

As soon as Xiaocao took a step forward, it found its vision completely black, and a pain as if it had been stabbed appeared in its abdomen.

"Do you think I'd allow you to take the commander away?"

It was the voice of the humanoid creature that it had almost caught.

Is it the ability to sever the connection between sensing and perception?

It's a pity; if all the sensors on its body were also cut off, it might actually cause some trouble.

Modern humanoids are interesting, really interesting.

The vibration sensors on its feet pinpointed the locations of everyone opposite it, including those who were speaking loudly to attract its attention and those who were spreading out to surround it.

Hmm, let's lull them into a false sense of security for now.

"My vision is completely black... Ugh! All these little tricks!" Xiao Cao shouted deliberately.

So first...

Xiao Cao leaped up and punched the two sources of the earthquake with both fists.

"So fast!"

Thump! Thump!

"Mihara! Yuni!"

Did you miss with that feel?

But soon, the noisy vision returned, and the abdominal pain disappeared.

Not far away, the human was carrying a humanoid in one arm, panting heavily.

It looks like he's the one who rescued them.

Is it applying mental energy to the physical body?

Such precision in operation is truly remarkable; it shows a trend of surpassing the previous one.

Unfortunately, the physical strength is far too inferior.

"Humans, come with me, or they will all die today." Xiao Cao clenched its huge fist, displaying its power.

This was an ultimatum, and Li Zuoyi understood it perfectly.

“You said you have a backup plan, now you can tell me,” Li Zuoyi said to Mihara, panting.

“The backup plan is based on the premise that the Roar targets me and Yuni.” Mihara said apologetically, “I never thought that Lecher had intelligence and could speak, nor did I expect that the Roar would target you.”

"Ha—I guessed so. Who could have predicted this?" Li Zuoyi withdrew his hands from around their waists.

“Therefore, to make amends for my mistakes, I will fight to the death for the Commander.” Mihara picked up his weapon.

"Yuni wants to fight alongside Mihara for the Commander too!" Yuni grabbed Mihara's sleeve.

The feelings between the two were neither romantic love nor familial affection.

The two of them were like twisted gears; although they looked incredibly strange, they could mesh together.

They creaked and spun together, then were destroyed together.

However, Li Zuo ignored their declaration, abandoned them, and walked straight towards the commotion, drawing his long sword from his waist once again.

"Xiao Cao, let's have a match. If you win, I'll go with you."

If we lose, then of course we'll take its life.

"Commander, no!" Marian reached out to the figure, trying to pull him back.

"Ugh, damn it! I'm going to explode with this!" Anies loaded his gun.

Lapi stood anxiously to the side.

why?

Why can't I activate the secret body?

Little Red Riding Hood, why won't you...?

Trust my companions.

Extremely rare, Lapi heard the words of Little Red Riding Hood inside his body.

Companions? Who? Where?

"I agree."

Faced with the human's proposal, Xiaocao agreed.

First, he severed its paw, and then he saved people in an emergency.

With both physical and mental exhaustion, how much strength can he muster?

It's bound to win.

But the next moment, the humans who were just on the ground vanished instantly.

Where did you go?

The next second, the temperature sensor told it its location—the top of its head.

But when Xiao Cao raised his head, the longsword, still burning with intense heat, had already pierced his neck—the thinnest part of his body.

Too slow, too slow!

The temperature sensor is too slow!

It turns out that his conversation with the humanoids was just a delaying tactic.

Did this man deliberately accelerate himself to this speed?

Don't you want your body anymore?!

Xiao Cao could feel the long sword slowly cutting open his neck, the sparks flying everywhere seeming like his life slipping away.

"You bastard!" Xiao Chao shouted angrily.

Li Zuoyi now resembles a warrior covered in blood, violently taking the lives of his enemies.

Xiao Cao raised his hand to grab the human. If he could grab him, the human would be powerless to fight back.

"Fire!" Lapi gave the order in place of the commander.

In an instant, all the firepower was concentrated on Xiao Cao's raised hand, preventing it from immediately stopping the commander's offensive.

However, it only lasted for two seconds, which wasn't enough time!

That hand was about to grab the commander, who was as weak as a dying candle. Once he was caught, he would surely die.

But then an unexpected person stepped forward.

Marian's originally dark eyes were now unusually bloodshot.

She discarded her weapon and ran towards the commotion at a speed beyond what her body could bear, then leaped into the air.

"Get away from the commander!!!"

He punched through the arrogant hand.

Just a second later, the longsword, wreathed in flames of life, successfully severed Xiaocao's neck, and its head fell to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

The clamor seemed to have lost its winding mechanism, and stopped moving.

Li Zuoyi, who also fell, was caught by Marian.

Li Zuoyi's lips, the only part of his body that could move, twitched slightly: "Where have I seen this situation before?"

Seeing the commander covered in blood, Marian burst into tears.

"Ahhh, ahhh, ahhhhh!!!!"

Beneath the massive body of a Lecher, a Niki embraced her beloved commander.

Chapter Sixteen: I seem to have forgotten something.

Lapi and Anis rushed to the commander's side.

Looking at the commander, whose entire body was bleeding, both of them couldn't help but feel a pang of anxiety.

This amount of bleeding is already...

"Anis, bandages!"

Even so, Lhapi calmly took out a styptic injection from the inside pocket of his coat and injected it into the commander's arm.

Niki always carries some first-aid supplies with her to treat commanders who are injured.

Although it's useless most of the time.

However, Anies held the bandages in her hands, at a loss. "With so many wounds, where should I bandage them? I'm not a medical-type Niki."

Mihara, who had just arrived, glanced at the commander and took the bandage from Anis's hand.

"Yuni, quickly check where the Commander's injury is the most serious!"

Yuni activated her specialized eyes and scanned the commander's body. "The major arteries in all parts of the body are undamaged, so let's bandage the wounds closest to the heart first..."

"Me too!" Anies joined in.

"Commander, don't die..." Tears welled up in Marian's bloodshot eyes and dripped onto the commander's face.

"I'm contacting the Ark and requesting support." Labi tried to connect to the Ark's signal.

The Nikis are busy trying to save the commander and are doing everything they can to save him.

Therefore, they did not notice that Xiao Cao's body trembled slightly beside them.

Lying in Marian's arms, Li Zuoyi was the first to see the dozen or so mechanical tentacles extending from the broken neck of the clamor above them.

What a treacherous fellow, faking his death... But he had no strength left, and could only forcefully lift his lips to speak:

"Head, top, it's not dead..."

Lapi was the first to react; she immediately looked up, raised her rifle, and prepared to fire.

However, those mechanical tentacles were like an impenetrable net, and soon they were all covered from top to bottom like fishing, with no possibility of escape.

"You've done a great job. Leave the rest to me."

As an unfamiliar voice rang out, an energy cannon flew over the heads of Labi and the others.

The mechanical tentacles were annihilated by the beam of the energy cannon, leaving a nearly two-meter-wide hole in the chest of the clamoring man, through which one could see the ruins of the building that had been similarly pierced on the other side.

The red core, now missing half its length, dimmed in the void.

"Those despicable pilgrims..."

Xiao Cao left behind these words, and then 'died'.

"Anti-ship rifle?" Lapi was surprised by the power of the energy cannon.
