NIKKE, Swordmaster Ark Succubus Daily

"Uh……"

Noah also met Isabel's extremely terrifying gaze.

She was going to be killed... She hid behind her shield in fear.

Harlan, who calls herself a witch, realizes that he has hidden crucial information.

interesting……

Pretending to be stupid temporarily got through the situation. Li Zuoyi had Niki and the others take out the Ancient Iron Core, while he himself plunged the knife into the Ancient Iron's body.

As the gnawing sounds of Indiviya echoed in his mind, Gu Tie's size gradually shrank. He could feel a sense of mental satiety and a physical transformation.

But I always felt something was missing.

Li Zuo glanced at the metal sphere in Niki's hand, which was still faintly glowing red, and thought that it might be because it had not absorbed the core.

Ancient iron has completely disappeared.

"Let's go, it's time to go back..." Li Zuoyi sheathed his long sword, took a few steps forward, and then fell straight down.

Chapter 96 Are you checking my household registration?

When Li Zuo opened his eyes, everything in front of him was blank, and he felt an uncomfortable sense of weightlessness.

This is where?

He remembered absorbing the ancient iron, and then... like when he was drunk and blacked out, he couldn't remember anything.

Could it be that I died again?

But the sight of Indivilla, who had floated past and was now lying on her side, told him that she was not dead.

She still looked exactly the same, and the mechanical whip blade was still there.

"Indivilla?"

"I didn't expect you to come in too." Indivilla drifted past him again from a different direction.

"Where is this place?"

Indivilla floated to his side and stopped, straightened up, and said, "I think it should be your spiritual world."

"You feel?"

“Because I’m just guessing…” Indivilla looked at him and said, “By the way, you don’t even know your own abilities?”

Li Zuo shook his head. He had never encountered this situation before, nor had he ever been here before.

"How do we get out?" he asked.

"I don't know." Indeveria shook her head as well, but seeing his comical groping around, she smiled and said, "Are you looking for a doorknob?"

From the moment she entered, the place was a blank space, devoid of anything. Even the directions of up, down, left, and right were meaningless here. Only the occasional glimpse from his perspective appeared, like watching television.

"A doorknob?" Li Zuoyi felt something in his hand. He raised his arm and saw that it was indeed a wooden doorknob.

Indeveria immediately floated over, snatched the doorknob from his hand, and kept touching it, "This realistic feel..."

When she looked up at Li Zuoyi, she discovered that there really was a door next to her.

"What...what did you do?" she asked.

“Since this is my spiritual world, I can naturally create things.” As Li Zuoyi spoke, a patch of land covered with green grass appeared beneath his feet.

Then, in the next moment, this small piece of land rapidly expanded and became a grassland.

Li Zuo wanted to see how big this place was, but as soon as he turned around and took a step, it felt like he had bumped into a wall.

“It seems this place is too small again,” Indivilla said.

"What happened?" Li Zuoyi asked.

“The space here has been shrinking ever since you started fighting Gu Tie,” Indivilla said. “It’s probably related to your mental energy being somewhat depleted.”

"Why do you know so much?"

“Because I saw it,” she said.

"Two threads have been drawn from you, one connecting to Niki named Isabel, and the other to Niki named Anis. Their combat abilities are quite unusual today, aren't they? It's probably because you enhanced them."

Peony and Marian were probably like that before... but this time, two Niki units were strengthened at once, so their mental energy couldn't handle it...

“It seems that creating things also consumes mental energy,” Indivilla said, pointing to the ground beneath her feet.

Hmm... Li Zuoyi thought for a moment and realized that even if the ground disappeared, it couldn't be undone.

"Does that mean I have to wait until my mental strength recovers?" Li Zuoyi touched the invisible wall and could feel it slowly receding.

“I think so,” Indivilla said.

However, just as she finished speaking, the space began to fill with golden light. Li Zuoyi felt the invisible wall rapidly retreating, and his body gradually became transparent. It seemed that he was about to leave this place.

"Next time, please help me build something interesting." Indivilla sat down on the ground, something she hadn't done in a long time. "It's so boring."

Before Li Zuoyi could speak, he felt himself falling faster and faster, as if he were falling off a cliff in a dream, and he woke up with a start.

Now, what he sees is no longer pale light, but the ceiling.

"Ah, brother, you're awake?" A blonde woman dressed as a nun peered into his field of vision, and for some reason, there was a hint of joy in her eyes.

"who are you?"

As soon as Li Zuo asked the question, a small shadow appeared in her clear, sky-like eyes, but she still answered with a gentle smile:

"My name is Rapunzel."

"I know someone named Snow White."

“She is my companion,” Rapunzel said with a smile.

Where are my companions?

“They are performing maintenance,” Rapunzel said. “You are now in the medical room in the park.”

Li Zuo tried to sit up, but found that his whole body felt sore and numb, just like the fatigue after intense exercise in the gym.

"Let me help you." Rapunzel gently supported his back, placed a pillow under his back, and said, "You overused your abilities, and your mental energy is almost depleted. If your companion hadn't happened to meet me and I hadn't replenished it for you on the way, you probably would have slept for several days."

"Thank you." Li Zuoyi closed his eyes, pinched the bridge of his nose, and said, still feeling a little dizzy, "You seem to know something about my abilities."

“Yes, because I’ve encountered similar humans before.” Rapunzel kept a close eye on his expression.

"Similar people..."

Rapunzel said, "That person often gets himself into this state, while my job is to heal, so I'm more experienced."

She continued, "I heard from your companions that you use a sword, is that right?"

"Ah."

"Impressive indeed." The long-haired princess then asked, "You look quite young, did you just graduate from military academy?"

"Yes, I just graduated this year."

"Excuse me, how old are you this year?"

"nineteen."

"Ah, then you must be the youngest child in the family."

"No, I'm an only child."

"Excuse me, are you... an orphan?"

“No…” Li Zuo opened his eyes and looked at the woman who looked like she was checking his household registration. “I have a mother.”

Although we're not blood relatives, we're closer than blood relatives.

"Ah..." The long-haired princess opened her mouth, and after a while she said, "Oh, I'm so sorry, I misunderstood."

Why do you become so disappointed when you hear I have a mother? Li Zuoyi was speechless.

"I'll go tell them you're awake. While you were unconscious, they stayed by your side the whole time." Rapunzel stood up and said, "If you don't tell them quickly..."

Rapunzel left the medical room and encountered Dorothy in the corridor.

"The outcome is hard to accept, isn't it?" Dorothy said to Rapunzel, who was passing by. "Especially the moment when hope was shattered, the Commander was dead, you and Snow White shouldn't..."

"The commander is still alive."

Rapunzel simply said that and then entered the elevator.

She couldn't be mistaken about that familiar spiritual energy; he was undoubtedly the commander, only his face and body were different...

More importantly, he truly doesn't remember himself, Snow White, Dorothy, or Little Red Riding Hood...

Previously, I just thought that if the commander was alive, it wouldn't matter if he lost his memory.

But when she actually saw the hint of wariness in his eyes towards strangers, she felt as if her heart was being torn apart by that wariness.

What should I do?

Should she tell the rest of the Goddess Squad...?

Chapter Ninety-Seven: Mental Cleanliness Obsession

Late at night, Li Zuoyi lay on the hospital bed in the medical room, thinking about the incident of fainting during the day.

There is no doubt that he can use his mental power to enhance Niki's feelings for him.

However, there are a few problems.

Firstly, it seems that he can only enhance two Niki units at most now, and the duration is about thirty minutes based on the time spent fighting Guttsu, which also includes the mental energy consumed during his sword-wielding battle.

If this time is exceeded, he is very likely to lose consciousness.

From now on, we need to be more careful in our battles.

Secondly, the enhancement levels of Isabel and Anis are not the same.

According to Harlan and Noah, Isabel's destructive power is about ten times greater, or one thousand percent.

Anis, on the other hand, didn't receive such an outrageous boost as Isabel; his boost was only around 50%.

So what caused this gap?

That night, Anies simply confessed his feelings to him, while Isabel did almost everything with him except for the final step, although in the end he was the one who took the initiative...

If that's the case, then every time there's a high-difficulty mission, wouldn't he have to spend the night before with them...?

No, don't rush, that's not necessarily true.

Perhaps it's related to the depth of affection, like with Isabelle, he can now feel her gaze, which is somewhat prickly, full of desire and aggression.

Isabelle is a woman with a strong possessive nature.

Anies, on the other hand, was just an ordinary girl.

Let's try to conduct a control experiment.

……

the next day.

Li Zuoyi felt that his body had almost recovered. In the morning, Rapunzel even used golden holy light to heal his spirit again, and he felt much better.

It seems that Isabel didn't climb into his bed last night either, probably out of concern for his health.

After breakfast, Li Zuoyi was called to the laboratory by Cecil.

Li Zuoyi looked at a large red circle slowly moving on the computer screen and said, "Do we still need the Lecher core, which is related to Nihilista?"

“There’s no other way.” Cecil was adjusting the ancient iron core he brought back yesterday, which was covered with various electrodes. “With only this one, we can only know the approximate location of Nihilista.”

She pointed to the red circle on the screen, "She could be anywhere within this circle."

This circle has a radius of at least forty kilometers...

This means that more core components are needed for more precise positioning.

Seeing his distressed expression, Cecil said, "Don't worry, you don't need to search randomly like before."

She then typed a few times on the keyboard, and dozens of red dots appeared on another screen. She said, "Although we can't determine the location of the fire dragon, we can find the other Lechers who resonate with this core."
