NIKKE, Swordmaster Ark Succubus Daily

"Lavi, how many meters did we walk after rescuing Metis's troops?" Li Zuoyi asked.

"49 meters."

“We’ve walked almost 50 meters, but we’re still so far from the edge of the circle,” Li Zuoyi pointed out the problem.

In other words, they have been standing still.

“Hey, Metis…” Li Zuo turned his head to ask them what was going on, but met three pairs of scarlet eyes that were flashing with madness.

"Damn it! They've been corrupted!"

Yin Hua, who was closest to the commander, immediately pulled him behind her and tried to draw her gun to fire, only to find that the three members of the Metis unit had already captured Marian, Anis, and Emma.

They suffered because they were only vigilant about the outside world and did not guard against the inside.

"Ugh, damn it!" Anis tried to break free, but Laplace, who was holding her captive, was extremely strong.

"Hero, hero, hero, hero, hero..." Laplace kept repeating the same word, as if a CD had stuck.

Drake and Maxwell were in similar situations.

"Metis's forces are... bait."

Seeing this, Li Zuoyi understood why the Metis troops were still alive.

And the heretic Indivilia is certainly still alive.

"correct."

A cold, emotionless voice came from behind Li Zuoyi, along with a chewing sound that sounded like metal scraping against metal.

A chill ran down his spine. He slowly turned around and saw the heretic Indivilla.

Less than a meter away, she looked down at Li Zuoyi with absolute indifference in her scarlet eyes, her appearance resembling that of the ancient Egyptian god Anubis.

Most of the black armor on her body was shattered, and her exposed dark body was also badly damaged, revealing a metal structure completely different from Niki's.

"Snap, snap..."

She was tearing at one of Niki's arms, just like a human eating an animal.

With each bite she took, her damaged body began to heal a little.

Seeing her current state, Li Zuoyi understood that the Metis troops had only lost one battle in a direct confrontation with her, and then they had become bait.

It was used to lure and kill the rescue team, so that she could devour them all to restore herself.

Indivilla swallowed the entire arm, licked her lips with her bright red tongue, and said:

"Of all the teams that came, you were the only commander who reacted before he died."

Chapter 49 The Enraged Indivilla

Have other teams been here?

Li Zuoyi's brain was working quickly. This meant that Fangzhou had sent someone.

However, at that time only Shuen knew the coordinates, which means that she had tried to rescue Metis's team before reporting to the central government.

However, there was no news at all, so they had no choice but to report it.

In his rage, Li Zuoyi had already mentally beaten that arrogant brat hundreds of times.

They didn't mention such important news at all; it's like they're deliberately trying to kill them!

It was only then that Li Zuoyi noticed the mechanical whip blade behind Indivilla. Although the curved blade at the end had some nicks, he believed that if it hit him, it would definitely split his body in two.

Thinking only takes a moment, but the body, sensing the crisis, acted instinctively, drawing the long, black sword from its waist—a personal aid from Ingrid, the CEO of Pure Land of Bliss.

It is said to be the toughest and sharpest blade that the Pure Land of Bliss could forge.

A hint of surprise appeared on Indiviya's indifferent face. Although her speed was only 63% of what it used to be after the previous battle, it was still beyond the reach of any human.

Interesting humans...

The mechanical whip blade left a trail of afterimages in the air, slashing horizontally towards his body with such speed that none of the Nikis present could react in time.

In their eyes, their gaze followed the commander as he turned around and saw the heretic Indivilla.

No sooner had the heretic finished speaking than the commander drew his longsword and vanished from the spot.

'Bang! ! ! '

Immediately, a deafening sonic boom erupted from the spot where the commander had stood, followed by a hurricane.

"Commander?!" Almost all of Niki shouted at the same time.

A human took a direct hit from the heretic...

But the commander's voice came from behind Niki and the others.

"Attack the heretics with all your might! I've come to rescue Niki, who's been captured!"

It turned out that he had temporarily escaped the heretics' range by taking advantage of their attack.

Yin Hua, who was originally closest to him, didn't have time to turn around and check on his condition. Now, she herself had become Niki, who was closest to the heretic.

'Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang...'

The muzzle flash of the specialized heavy sniper rifle, far exceeding what ordinary humans could possess, kept shooting out bullets capable of penetrating tens of centimeters of concrete, which poured out and shot at the heretics.

'Clang clang clang...'

The mechanical whip blade behind Indivilla seemed to leap through space, precisely appearing at the location where each bullet appeared and deflecting them all.

Looking at the human kneeling with a knife in the distance, Indivilla was somewhat surprised; it was the first time she had ever seen a human do something like this…

But it doesn't matter. We can kill him after we've dealt with the other Nikis. He's just a human, what use could he be?

"You're quite troublesome. I'll eat you first."

Indeveria's gaze shifted from the human to Niki in front of her.

"Reload! Cover!"

Yin Hua immediately pulled away and retreated, but Indiviya clung to her like a leech.

However, the rain of bullets coming from behind Yin Hua, along with the occasional rockets, slowed Indivilla's pace.

Even so, her physical body remained completely unharmed.

"Die! Heretic!" Bestie displayed an unusual madness.

"Be careful not to have any gaps in firepower," Labi reminded her as he changed the magazine.

Although they seem to have suppressed the heretics, Labi knows very well that even though the heretics Indiveria has been beaten so badly by the Metis forces, they are still not someone they can handle.

Although the other side had slowed down, they were indeed moving towards them.

Considering that Indivilla's mechanical whip blades can still be used for a long time, and that their ammunition will eventually run out, all they are doing now is delaying their deaths.

Lhapi prayed silently, "Little Red Riding Hood, please, this time you must activate it, otherwise... everyone will die..."

However, her Little Red Riding Hood mode lasts for a maximum of four seconds; any longer and she might die.

However, because Indivilla is very fast, she only has one chance.

Now, she can only wait for Indivilla to make a mistake.

"I, I, I, I, I, I, I, yes, yes, yes... um!"

On the other side, Li Zuoyi knocked out the last corrupted Niki, Laplace, and saved Marian.

Emma and Anis have gone to support Lapi and the others.

It wasn't that he didn't want to kill, but rather that he only had the hilt left in his hand; the blade was completely shattered...

Indeed, as Ingrid said, this thing is really hard, and can even block a blow from an assailant.

“Marianne, you should go and help them too.”

Li Zuoyi slumped to the ground, feeling as if a huge rock was pressing on his chest, making it hard to breathe. He guessed that his sternum was fractured and his ribs were almost all cracked.

Seeing Marian's worried expression, he waved his hand and said, "It's better than the last time it was so noisy. It'll recover. Go over there quickly."

If he uses his imagination, he will slowly heal himself as long as he feels he is alright.

The smaller the wound, the faster it heals. For example, if you cut your hand with a knife and don't notice it, the wound will have disappeared by the time you remember it a few minutes later, without even leaving a scab.

The more severe the injury, the slower the recovery... like now.

But Li Zuoyi was in so much pain that he was about to faint, making it hard for him not to notice his injuries.

"Please be careful, Commander!"

Marian understood the situation and rushed to provide assistance.

Looking at the Metis troops lying beside him, Li Zuoyi revealed a look of disgust. "I hate you, Shuen."

"Everyone, follow my orders!"

Li Zuoyi forced himself to stand up. He still had enemies to face, and he didn't have much time to vent his emotions here.

He would rather die than let heretics gain an advantage for nothing.

……

Time passed slowly, and Indiviya felt increasingly strained, even though she had previously been able to effortlessly slice through all of the enemy's bullets.

However, at the human's command, some bullets actually bypassed her whip blade and struck her body.

This is impossible!

There's no such thing as something that worked before but doesn't work now.

The only reason is that those Nikis have become stronger... Is that even possible?

The bullets are still the same bullets, the shooting techniques are still the same techniques, but just because a mere human joined and gave him command, he suddenly became stronger?!

She had never heard of such a thing before!

Indivilla looked at the human hiding behind Niki, and their gazes met, devoid of any fear, even displaying a strong fighting spirit... It was almost like...

This human!

Is this a challenge to her, Indivilla?!

Mere humans!!!

Indivilla's originally indifferent expression gradually became distorted, and an unprecedented anger rose from the bottom of her heart.

She abandoned her defensive stance, letting the bullets pound into her body, destroying the parts of her body that she had painstakingly recovered from.

Giving up? No, it's...

When Li Zuo saw Indeveria retract her mechanical whip blade, he instinctively thought she was going to run away.

But when he saw those eyes, reddened with rage, he knew she was about to abandon her restored body and kill everyone here.

And who will be her first target... Lapi, who keeps interfering with her? Or the heavily armed Besti? Or perhaps Anies, who's trash-talking her?

Small jets appeared on Indivilla's limbs, spewing out blazing blue flames. A Mach ring could even be seen around the flames, which propelled her body to an extremely fast speed for a short period of time.

Li Zuoyi stared at Indivilla, who had appeared before him almost instantly in his eyes, and understood:

The target is him.

will die……

The mechanical whip blade was getting closer and closer, but he was helpless.

Will I really die like this...? I'm not reconciled...

But then, a seemingly delicate fist appeared from the edge of Li Zuoyi's field of vision, striking Indivilla's face directly. The metal on her face shattered, revealing the structure beneath her skin.

"Well!!!"

Indiviya was sent flying backward, farther than where she had been standing, like a skipping stone, each time she hit the ground and cracked it, finally rolling several times on the ground before coming to a stop.

"It seems I've arrived just in time. How are you all? Are you injured?"

A girl with long pink hair, wearing a white lace-trimmed off-the-shoulder dress, walked up to Li Zuoyi with a sweet smile and said:

"I am Dorothy from Paradise. I am so sorry to have shown you such a barbaric way of fighting."
