NIKKE, Swordmaster Ark Succubus Daily

Now Liberellio felt a bit awkward.

The difficulty lies in the fact that the human will not surrender so easily, and his companions will not stand idly by and watch him be taken away.

If it's just a head to take back, or broken limbs, she can easily handle it herself.

Alive, whole...

It seems the only option is to call that stupid dragon for help... Liberellio crouched down and, expressionless, poked the fire dragon's face with her finger through her long sleeve.

"Ahhhh~~~"

Nihilista slowly opened his eyes, sat up, and yawned widely. But then, sensing the clock within his body, he realized a long time had passed. He couldn't help but chuckle and look at Liberellio, saying, "

"Want to fight? Right here!"

That jellyfish dared to hypnotize her... Although she couldn't beat the jellyfish, she still had to let her know that she was not to be trifled with.

Seeing the ever-growing fighting spirit in the dragon's eyes, Liberelio sighed and brought out the Queen's ultimatum.

Even if Nihilista is incredibly tactless, she has no way to defy the Queen now.

So she looked down at the rocky forest at the foot of the mountain, got a general idea of ​​what was going on inside, and said to the jellyfish Liberelio:

"I can help you, but I have to capture that human first, and you deal with his other companions."

"Fine, take the credit if you want it," the jellyfish agreed nonchalantly.

All she wanted to do was get back to her own territory; the noise here was making her very uncomfortable.

"it is good!"

The twin-headed dragon armor on its back grew rapidly, transforming into a pair of flame-breathing steel wings. Intense, azure flames erupted from the dragon heads pointing towards the ground, and Mach rings emerged from within the flames. Nihilista was instantly accelerated to supersonic speed, soaring into the sky with a series of sonic booms…

The jellyfish, its face splattered with volcanic ash, covered its ears with its long sleeves, wrinkled its small nose, and looked into the distance. The group of Iron Man humans was heading towards the fire dragon's target; it had to stop them.

……

"Dorothy! Dorothy!"

Dorothy seemed to hear the commander's voice in her ears, and she slowly opened her eyes.

"Meaning, Commander?"

The blurry figure before her eyes overlapped with the commander's figure, and coupled with everything she had just experienced in the dream, a strong surge of tears welled up.

"Sorry, I'm not John."

Dorothy's still somewhat drowsy mind immediately cleared up. She shook her head and saw a handsome face that was easy to like.

But she didn't feel anything; in fact, she had previously thought it was hypocritical.

Ignoring him, Dorothy looked around and asked, "Where are we now?"

The surrounding scenery was completely different from what she remembered in her last memory.

"The only thing we can be sure of is that we've automatically moved closer to the volcano." Li Zuoyi looked at the active volcano, whose summit he could no longer see by looking up.

It seems that even after entering the dream state, their bodies continued to move forward automatically.

If they hadn't woken up, they would have walked up to Liberellio on their own.

Isn't this hypnosis? What a terrifying ability... but I kind of want it.

Dorothy understood. She looked at the counterattack troops sitting under the rock pillar. The three of them looked rather depressed, probably because they had encountered something bad in their dream.

Dorothy felt a pang of bitterness at the thought. The scene of Lilith kissing the Commander—though it was just a dream, the Commander must have actually slept with Lilith...

The Commander and Lilith have a pure romantic relationship... I guess I can only fool myself with this.

Dorothy took a deep breath and stopped thinking about those things. What she needed to figure out now was the person or thing in the dream that was pretending to be Lilith. That was the key.

“Now that Dorothy is awake, let’s go back and meet up,” Li Zuoyi said.

“I thought you would ask to continue.” But then Dorothy realized what she meant, gave a self-deprecating laugh, and said, “Sorry, I was still thinking like you’re a terrible commander.”

“I’m glad you’ve changed your attitude towards me,” Li Zuoyi said, not seeming too concerned. “Besides, I haven’t been able to contact Isabel since just now, and I’m a little worried about her. Dorothy, can you take us back?”

Not only Isabel, but John has also gone missing.

Dorothy checked the body's movement record and nodded, saying, "Don't worry, the body has automatically recorded the route, but the route is quite complicated. It's very easy to get lost if you accidentally go the wrong way, so please keep up with me."

After inquiring about the physical condition of Lapi and the others and confirming that they were alright, Li Zuoyi walked behind Dorothy.

At that moment, like a thunderclap in a clear sky, several loud explosions came from behind.

Li Zuo turned around and saw a fireball shooting straight into the sky from the crater.

"Dorothy, run!" Li Zuo knew who it was as soon as he saw the fireball.

The most important thing now is to reunite with John and the others.

It seems that when the trap failed, the other side decided to resort to force.

105. It tastes good, humans.

The fireball, engulfed in steel, resembled a meteorite, leaving a straight blue trail in the air as it hurtled toward her target.

Nihilista could see her target hiding in the rocky forest below, using the complex terrain to evade and escape her sight.

They were almost successful.

The cunning target darted swiftly through the dense forest of black and yellow rocks. If one wasn't careful, he would be out of sight, and the next time one saw him, he might be hundreds of meters away.

"Wow~ That's really impressive."

Nihilista was amazed and found it intriguing. Such a bizarre and elusive operation couldn't have been planned by Niki herself; it must have been directed by her target.

In the game of chasing each other, Nihilista would occasionally fly low, crashing into stone pillars and putting psychological pressure on his opponent.

Sometimes she would brush past the other person, and in that instant, she would make eye contact with that human.

Although his movements to dodge the rocks were somewhat clumsy, there was absolutely no fear in his eyes...

She also recalled the fearless and defiant look in his eyes when he stood before her before...

That's an amazing gaze!

The humans she encountered in the past were either incompetent or simply beneath her notice; many were so terrified by her mere glance that they wet their pants.

This was the first time she had ever encountered such a lively prey.

Nihilista's brain trembled with excitement at the thought of turning that resolute gaze into a dazed, rolling-eyed expression.

At that moment, she saw that Liberellio had already started fighting another group of people in the distance.

Wow... that jellyfish has already gone ahead... it's time to get down to business, we can't play around anymore.

She increased her speed, her blue tail flames extended, and she rushed to her target, rapidly ascending into the air. She shut down the flame propulsion, and once she was headfirst, she restarted the flame propulsion, crashing to the ground like a meteorite.

Enveloped in scorching flames, the immense impact of the fall caused the flames to spread explosively through the rocky forest, scorching every corner of the forest within a radius of hundreds of meters.

Following closely behind this flame was a small earthquake generated by Nihilista's rapid propulsion through reverse jets and its massive weight.

An earthquake is powerful enough to completely collapse the surrounding rocky forest.

Nihilista stood up; the surrounding smoke and dust had not completely dissipated.

In this way, although the target wouldn't be crushed or burned to death, he would at least be temporarily rendered incapacitated.

however……

"Dorothy, fire."

It was that man's calm voice.

The colorful bullets pierced through the smoke and dust, but relying on his fighting instincts, Nihilista moved his body with small steps and dodged them one by one.

"Lavi, Anis, Nien, launch all missiles."

The man's voice then shifted to another direction.

“Interesting…” A flamboyant smile, brimming with fighting spirit, appeared on Nihilista’s face.

He had barely finished speaking when bullets from three different directions came hurtling towards her.

Even if Nicholas knew the trajectory of these bullets, he couldn't possibly dodge them all by simply moving, just like before.

Her steel wings instantly went into full power, propelling her into the air and allowing her to dodge the bullets.

She's capable of fighting in three dimensions; limiting her to ground combat is a gross underestimation of her abilities.

The flames from the steel wing's dragon head blew away the smoke and dust that were obscuring the view, revealing the true condition of the ground.

One, two, three, four... Niki is here, but where is the target?

Nihilista searched for the human's trail on the ground, but her fighting instincts told her that danger was approaching from behind her—a dozen meters above her.

She immediately adjusted her position in the air, then turned to look in her direction and saw the human holding a dark gold longsword, who had just cleaved through the air.

"I don't know how you flew up here, but fall down. The sky isn't a place for humans to stand." Nihilista coldly watched him fall.

However, he suddenly swung his long sword downwards, and a powerful gust of air was generated out of thin air, lifting him up and 'flying' towards her.

Although the speed is not slow, it is far more impossible to catch up with Nihilista by relying on the power of the wind.

Therefore, she only needed to dodge slightly to hide in the blind spot where his long sword was swinging.

“You’re giving me more and more surprises.” Nihilista sensed his determination to kill her, but at the same time, she grew increasingly fond of this human.

After repeating this motion in the air more than ten times, even though Li Zuoyi had improved considerably during this period, he could not keep himself in the high sky indefinitely, and the height he could float was getting lower and lower.

"Are you sure you don't need to help?" Anies asked anxiously from the ground.

“It’s difficult for the commander to adjust his posture in the air, and Nihilista is very agile. If we fire rashly, it may interfere with him…” Although Lapi was unwilling, in this situation, even if she activated Little Red Riding Hood mode, it would be useless. The opponent was the king of the air. Once he was hovering in the air, he would not be able to fight against Nihilista at all.

"Go for it, Commander..." Nien looked up at the completely one-sided situation in the sky and silently clenched his fist.

Dorothy just watched, remaining silent.

In mid-air, Li Zuoyi missed again and fell straight to the ground.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Nihilista grabbed his wrist, which was holding the long sword, and lifted him up in front of him.

“Commander!” Anis called out hurriedly.

“No, no…” Nien also looked flustered.

Labi and Dorothy looked grave.

“Human, you are truly fascinating. Now I understand why the Queen is interested in you,” Nihilista said to him with a smile.

"What exactly is your purpose in arresting me?" Li Zuoyi reached for the pistol tucked into his waistband with his other hand. It contained a neutralizing agent, and the other one was with John.

“It is the Queen who wants you,” Nissilista said. “How would I know?”

She noticed his subtle movement, and quickly grabbed his wrist with her other hand, laughing, "Is this the antidote?! I've already heard the Queen mention it."

"..." Li Zuoyi's face darkened.

To his surprise, Nihilista pointed his gun at him, slowly opened his mouth wide, and said with an extremely excited smile, "Let's see who can shoot faster, you or me."

Then she shoved the gun into her mouth, her eyes filled with madness.

Li Zuoyi naturally fired his gun directly.

'boom! '

A broken pistol fell from the sky, and Nihilista was chewing on the barrel, but she seemed completely unharmed, so the antidote probably didn't come into contact with her.

Nihilista looked smug, as if he were chewing gum.

But Li Zuoyi had one last trick up his sleeve: he planned to bite his tongue and spit his blood onto her face.

However, just as he slightly parted his teeth, Nihilista immediately stretched out his neck and kissed him, causing him to widen his eyes in surprise.

Even so, he tried to bite his tongue, but the fire dragon's seemingly soft but actually hard tongue swirled aggressively in his mouth.

Finally, Nihilista stuffed a metal ball, which he had chewed into his mouth using the barrel of a gun, into his mouth, forcing him to open his mouth wide so that he could not bleed.

“I’ve heard about your constitution from the Queen, and I won’t let you succeed.” The fire dragon smacked its lips, savoring the taste, and narrowed its eyes as it said, “But you not only look good, you taste really good too. How about I send you to the Queen and eat you first? You’re the first human to make me have this thought. Be proud.”

However, she suddenly lost her balance in mid-air and looked back to find that the dark gold longsword in his hand had changed from a normal grip to a reverse grip, and the tip of the sword had touched her steel wing.

But even this slight contact left her steel wings riddled with holes, and even the power-generating head was instantly damaged, making it difficult to provide power anymore.

"you!!!!"
