NIKKE, Swordmaster Ark Succubus Daily

What was delivered was the tail section, the part that Indiveria used to attack the enemy.

Now its blade has several notches, and the mirror-like blade surface has become dull and lifeless, turning from a brand-new product into a battle-tested one.

That's the power of the antidote.

"But why didn't she process it for me? How am I supposed to use it like this?" Li Zuoyi looked up at Yinhua and asked.

He thought Ingrid knew he used swords and knives and would help him shape the materials into the way he wanted.

Was it because she was angry? Did she deliberately send the original item to annoy him?

“I don’t know,” Yin Hua said. “However, judging from the fact that she hasn’t slept well for the past few days, she probably hasn’t made any progress in analyzing this material.”

Lecher's technology has always been far superior to Ark's, and Ark has never stopped researching Lecher's technology over the years.

However, there has been very little groundbreaking progress.

"So you're saying I'm given 'junk' that's temporarily unusable?" Li Zuoyi stroked the mottled blade of the mechanical whip and said, "I'm a little angry."

"You asked for it yourself, didn't you?" Yinhua sighed helplessly. "So what do you want it for?"

"This... um?"

Li Zuoyi tried to raise his hand, but found that his hand seemed to be stuck to the blade. When he raised his arm, he pulled the entire mechanical whip blade out of the briefcase.

"Hey, who put glue on it?"

Yin Hua saw that the blade seemed to come alive; the normally hard blade was writhing and slowly beginning to bend.

Emma rushed over and grabbed the blade, trying to stop what looked like a backlash.

"It hurts!"

The intense pain made Emma loosen her grip; her palms were pitted and scarred, as if they had been gnawed by ants.

"Don't touch it!" Li Zuoyi raised his other hand to stop Yin Hua from helping, and said, "I'm fine."

Unlike Emma, ​​he did not feel any pain.

He watched as the entire mechanical whip blade seemed to melt into a dark golden liquid metal, enveloping his arm.

Now his entire arm looks like it's made of metal, reflecting a dark golden light.

However, just as the tide receded, the liquid metal quickly retreated and gathered in the palm of the hand, as if the hand had been inserted into a metal ball.

The metal sphere kept shrinking, seemingly defying the laws of physics, but Li Zuoyi could feel that its weight had not changed.

In the end, it shrunk into a dark gold ring, which quietly rested on Li Zuoyi's right index finger.

There was no further activity after that.

Having witnessed the whole process, Yinhua asked in astonishment, "What did you do?!"

Li Zuo raised his hand to look at the ring on his index finger, shook his head and said, "I don't know either."

"Ah—I'm alive again, thank you."

Indivilla's voice rang in his ears.

“Don’t look for me, I’m right here on your index finger.” Indivilla’s voice was weak.

Seeing the commander looking around anxiously, Bestie asked with concern, "Commander, what's wrong? Are you... are you alright?"

They seemed not to hear him... Seeing the worried looks on the faces of the three special forces soldiers, Li Zuoyi decided not to tell them that Indiviya was still alive.

“I’m fine.” He looked down, examining the ring over and over, and said, “It’s probably because I killed Indivilla that it became like this.”

"Is such a thing even possible?" Yinhua asked.

"Can you tell me what happened?" Li Zuoyi asked, raising his right index finger.

Yin Hua remained silent.

How could she possibly know how to explain something like this?

"Since there's no immediate threat, we can leave it alone," Li Zuoyi said.

Emma said, "At least get it checked out..."

"No." Li Zuoyi interrupted her, staring at her as he spoke:

“If I go, I might not come out. Don’t tell me you don’t know what those people are like. Or are you going to tell Ingrid even so?”

"Is not likely to……"

“Then I beg you to keep this a secret for me,” Li Zuoyi said.

He wasn't actually afraid of being arrested, because there were no prisons to hold him anymore.

He just didn't want things to get complicated.

“Alright.” Yin Hua sighed and answered first.

Anyway, she has already kept many secrets for him, including the antidote and the matter of Marian, so one more won't make a difference.

"Yin, Yin Hua?" Bestie seemed to not recognize his teammate.

Because Yin Hua had never treated a commander like this before.

"What's wrong?" Yin Hua glared at Bestie, making her shrink back.

“Nothing happened~” Emma covered her mouth and laughed, then said to the commander, “I didn’t see anything today, I just came to say hello to the commander.”

Neither that woman nor this ring.

……

After the special forces left, Li Zuo opened his right palm, and a dark gold longsword appeared out of thin air, with the black hilt landing in his palm.

Chapter Sixty-Four: Guess Who Didn't Receive an Invitation?

"Use it as you please, consider it my way of repaying you for saving me," Indivilla said.

Li Zuo examined the long sword in his hand and noticed faint cracks and nicks on it. He said, "...but it looks quite ordinary."

“You know better than I why it turned out this way,” Indivilla said with dissatisfaction. “Although it looks like a piece of junk now, it might be able to regain its original sharpness if you are willing to feed it.”

"Feed? With Niki?" Li Zuoyi thought of how Emma's hand had been injured by it before, which must have been the one devouring her.

“Lecher is also an option,” Indivilla said.

"And then you reshape your body?" Li Zuoyi said.

It all seems like a script that will eventually backfire on him.

“…I don’t know if it’s possible.” Indivilla said quite honestly, “because I don’t even know how I survived.”

Her last memory was the moment he stabbed her, and when she woke up again, she was in a pure white space.

Sometimes she could hear his voice, and sometimes a small scene would appear in the pure white space, as if it were his vision.

But she soon discovered that her body was slowly fading away, and she was about to disappear.

Her survival instinct drove her to plead for help; the only solution she could think of was to retrieve the fragments of her own body.

It seems she has succeeded; she can now travel back and forth between that pure white space and the ring.

“But it doesn’t matter. If I really recover my body, I will definitely kill you,” Indivilla added.

“…If you really wanted to kill me, you shouldn’t have said it,” Li Zuoyi said.

Why does she seem different from before?

Previously, Indivilla was like a cunning hunter, using any means necessary, but now, he seems more like someone without much guile.

Or is she acting?

“Hmm—you seem to have a point,” Indivilla said. “I’ve been in a daze for a while, and I’ve only just woken up, so I might not be used to it yet. I need to rest for a bit.”

Then, the dark gold longsword in Li Zuoyi's hand instantly transformed into a ring, which obediently remained on his right index finger.

If he took it off... he tried to take off the ring to see what the reaction would be.

As a result, the moment he placed the ring on the table and his hand left it, Indivilla's sudden scream exploded in his ears.

"Quickly, put it back on..." Indivilla's voice became extremely weak.

However, Li Zuoyi did not move.

"Please, please..."

In the pure white space, Indivilla not only suffered the pain of her body being torn apart, but also found that her body was rapidly fading away.

It didn't seem like he was faking it... Li Zuoyi put the ring back on.

"Ha~ha~" Indeveria felt her body return.

“I didn’t know you would do this,” Li Zuoyi said. “You rest first, I won’t take it off for now.”

"……Thanks."

Li Zuoyi packed up his suitcase and went upstairs to put it in his bedroom.

If you're going to pretend, then pretend to be something you're not.

I'll buy a safe later.

When he went downstairs and returned to his office, he found an unexpected person there.

……

……

"Ugh, I'm so tired—".

Anies collapsed onto the sofa as soon as he returned to the command center.

“Anis, report to the commander,” Lapi said.

"Commander, mission accomplished, report complete," Anis said, sprawled on the sofa.

However, there was no response.

"commander?"

Anis got up and saw a strange short-haired woman wearing an apron standing on the stairs leading to the commander's room.

The woman with short blonde hair was very beautiful, with fair skin and regular features. In particular, the beauty mark under the outer corner of her right eye added an indescribable charm to her.

"Who are you?" Labi asked, raising his gun.

An unfamiliar woman suddenly appeared, while the commander was nowhere to be seen. She had every reason to suspect that the woman was an enemy.

“Lapi, yo.” Anis, as if she had seen through something, pressed down on Lapi’s gun and said, “She is obviously just like Peony and Silver Flower before, definitely Niki whom the Commander met somewhere.”

Commander, honestly, why do you always bring back Nikki? The special forces just arrived...

Although she knew the outpost needed to be developed, wasn't this frequency a bit too high?

“Is that so?” Labi looked at the woman.

At this moment, the commander came downstairs, half-naked with a towel around his neck, as if he had just taken a shower.

"Louise, what are you doing standing here?" Li Zuo looked up and saw Labi and Anis, and said, "Anis, Labi, you're back. You've worked hard."

He hadn't expected his childhood sweetheart to come to the outpost.

She had arrested him in the outer area before, and she even wanted to release him.

I came here supposedly to visit him, but I ended up cleaning his house instead.

“I brought some ingredients from the ground.” Louise turned to Li Zuoyi and asked, “Should we cook it the same way as before?”

"Hmm? Hmm, please." Li Zuoyi said.

Louise glanced at the two Niki cars, then turned and went into the kitchen.

"It seems like the commander knows her quite well. Which unit is she from, Niki?"

As Anis spoke, he took out his phone and took a picture of the commander's naked upper body, then put it into a category called 'Commander's Unintentional Temptation'.

“She’s not Niki, she’s human,” Li Zuoyi said, drying his hair with a towel. “She’s also my childhood friend.”

'Snapped'

Anis's phone fell to the ground, his mouth was open, and his eyes were glazed.
