Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

"wryyyyy!"

Qi Yan let out a strange cry and flew backward, but he burst into wild laughter: "You've been tricked, Your Majesty! This is my attack route!"

The Black Queen was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and watched helplessly as Qi Yan crashed into the blood lake, remaining motionless for a long time.

She stood slightly tense, atop a broken stone pillar in the blood lake, ready to respond to any sneak attack Qi Yan might launch from the lake.

But after waiting for a while, Qi Yan did not appear.

"The Blood Lake is moving as a whole; it's heading towards the tower!"

The White Queen, who was outside the battlefield, noticed the unusual situation and quickly spoke up to warn others.

The Black Queen's pupils contracted slightly; she wanted to stop it but was powerless to do so. The enormous lake of blood surged toward the tower with an unstoppable momentum.

On the tower, the remaining Originium patterns burst forth with light, recklessly gathering power in an attempt to stop the Blood Lake.

Unfortunately, although the tower's attack power was terrifying, it could not effectively stop the vast blood lake. Even though each attack could cause the blood lake to churn, it could not stop it in the slightest.

With a determined heart, the Black Queen leaped into the air and stood directly between the blood lake and the tower.

The moment her foot touched the ground, Qi Yan's figure suddenly appeared in the blood lake.

"It's noon, the game is over!"

Qi Yan stood on the Blood Lake, raising his hand in a gesture of respect towards the Black Queen.

Suddenly, a huge, blood-red wolf claw emerged from the lake of blood behind him and slammed down towards the Black Queen.

Its speed was so great that it even created sonic booms in the air beneath the wolf's claws.

The Black Queen's expression changed completely.

She never dreamed that Qi Yan had been hiding his strength when he fought her. The power he wielded by manipulating blood was even greater than Qi Yan's physical body!

The White Queen's exclamation came, but it was too late.

The Black Queen's figure was instantly swallowed up by wolf claws.

At that moment, a thunderous explosion resounded in the White Queen's mind, and she forgot everything else in the world, leaving only the wolf's claw that had swallowed the Black Queen's figure.

"Elector, you're next!"

Qi Yan burst into wild laughter, spreading his arms wide. Behind him, a lake of blood surged and piled up, and a gigantic blood wolf that blotted out the sky appeared behind him.

In the Blood Wolf's right paw, one could vaguely see a figure struggling, unable to escape the cage of blood.

Amidst the maniacal laughter, Qi Yan raised his right fist and slammed it down towards the tower.

The blood wolf behind him also raised its right paw, creating sonic booms as it slammed into the tower.

Compared to the Blood Wolf, the once magnificent and towering tower looked like a cheap toy, small and fragile.

The energy at the top of the tower fluctuated wildly, completely disregarding the Black Queen still inside the wolf claw, and launched a direct attack on the falling wolf claw.

The bright moon rose from below, meeting the descending wolf claws head-on. The two collided, creating a deafening roar.

In the end, Haoyue subtly gained the upper hand and shattered the wolf's claws.

The Black Queen was thrown out in a sorry state by the wolf's claws, and was swept by the aftershocks of the bright moon. Blood seemed to gush out from her body as if it were imitating Qi Yan.

At the critical moment, several musical notes streaked across the air, pulling the Black Queen out of the fighting range.

Qi Yan didn't even glance at the Black Queen; a maniacal smile played on his lips beneath his cloak as he licked them.

"Very good. The more you resist, the more excited I get. The more excited I get, the more miserable your death will be."

He raised his hand again, bending his middle and ring fingers to touch his thumb, the gap between them perfectly encircling the tower.

The blood wolf lowered its head, opened its huge jaws, and swallowed the still-glowing moon in mid-air. Then, without slowing down, it swallowed the tower whole.

The White Queen, who was holding the Black Queen and hiding at a safe distance, was stunned and numb, staring blankly at the scene of Qi Yan's Blood Wolf Devouring the Moon.

The Black Queen in her arms kept coughing up blood, and she desperately wanted to warn her sister that she needed emergency care.

Unfortunately, the White Queen did not understand her intention. She tightened her grip on her arm and stared nervously at the Blood Wolf, who was slowly walking towards her after swallowing the tower.

Above the wolf's head, Qi Yan, draped in a blood-red cloak, seemed to merge with the blood wolf.

Upon reaching the Twin Queens, Blood Wolf stopped and ceased its attack. Instead, it lowered its head, allowing Qi Yan to jump down.

"Gentlemen, shall we continue?"

Qi Yan smiled as he looked at the two sisters in front of him, who looked like blood gourds.

After the battle, they lacked Qi Yan's self-healing ability and blood control technique. Their bodies were covered with wounds of all sizes, and even their clothes were tattered, barely covering their vital parts.

The White Queen unconsciously swallowed, and said with difficulty:

"We surrender; we have no ability to resist now."

"If that's how you put it, then I'll start stating the winner's demands." Qi Yan rubbed his hands excitedly, his gaze blatantly sweeping over the two Gemini Queens. "I want you..."

Upon hearing this, the White Queen's face immediately darkened.

Even the Black Queen in her arms forgot to cough up blood, staring intently at Qi Yan, her gaze filled with a desire to devour him alive.

The phantom of the Witch King behind Qi Yan fluctuated violently, as if it wanted to ask Qi Yan to preserve the last bit of face for these two new kings of Letania.

The strong deserve the most basic respect; they may die in battle, but they should not be humiliated.

However, Qi Yan's terrifying combat power was something that even he was afraid of.

After hesitating for a long time, the Witch King finally mustered his courage and tried to speak: "Qi Yan, I think..."

"...Help me send a few people back to Rhodes Island."

Qi Yan gasped for breath and revealed his true request.

The White Queen's heart, which had plummeted to rock bottom, suddenly felt a sense of relief. The dramatic ups and downs nearly caused her mental state to explode on the spot.

"You...you did this on purpose!" the White Queen gritted her teeth. "Why didn't you deliver them yourself? Aren't you afraid I'll attack the people you're supposed to deliver them to on the way?"

"So, you're quite brave, huh?" Qi Yan said with a half-smile.

The White Queen's breath hitched.

She knew in her heart that if she dared to continue offending Qi Yan, the fate of her two sisters would be no better than that of the Elector Marquis, who was devoured by that blood wolf, leaving not even a bone fragment.

They might even... make the entire country of Letania perish for them.

Chapter 320 Convinced in Heart, But Not in Words

The White Queen finally lowered her proud head and obediently agreed to Qi Yan's request.

"It's not over yet," Qi Yan continued with a grin.

The White Queen said weakly:

“Tell us all your demands at once. We will not resist any demands that would jeopardize the foundations of Letania.”

Qi Yan curled her lip, her face full of disdain:

"Why would I endanger Letania? It won't do me any good."

I just want someone from you. I'm taking Gertrude with me. From now on, she will no longer be your countess of Letania, but my spoils of war.

Also, give me a whole car. My journey isn't over yet; I need to get to Wolumond before autumn arrives.

The White Queen suffered cardiac arrest.

She had just lost a Viseheim, but Qi Yan was still not satisfied and was preparing to go to another town in Letania.

In the end, however, the White Queen convinced herself.

Even a mobile city-state like Viseheim is gone, so what difference does it make if there's an even smaller mobile town?

She took a deep breath and forced herself to say:

"I agree, but could you tell me your purpose? Perhaps I can help you accomplish it directly, so you don't have to make the trip."

"To be honest, I'm going to rescue someone." Qi Yan said with a serious expression. "To put it bluntly, I am the best messenger of natural disasters on this land, and Wolumond is about to face a natural disaster. I'm going there to rescue one person and capture a few more while I'm at it."

"Natural disaster?!"

The White Queen's brows furrowed immediately.

Her first reaction was to question it, after all, Qi Yan had never even been there, so how could he possibly predict a natural disaster from so far away?

But considering the extraordinary abilities Qi Yan had displayed, she ultimately asked no questions.

The White Queen spoke again: "I can help you..."

"No need for that. Just mind your own business. When I said I was arresting someone, I actually wanted to recruit her, not capture her as a trophy."

Qi Yan refused without even thinking.

Then Qi Yan waved his hand, dispersing the blood wolf, which returned to the blood lake and scattered on the ground.

The blood went out of control and spread rapidly in all directions, eventually flowing into the crater in Viseheim where the White Queen and the Witch King had fought.

A genuine blood lake has appeared within the territory of Viseheim.

Qi Yan noticed that the White Queen was staring intently at the Blood Lake and kindly offered to explain:

"Don't worry, this stuff will become inactive after a while, and then it will just be ordinary blood. You can handle it however you like, there are no hidden dangers. I won't waste my energy controlling it anymore."

"So there was a time limit."

The White Queen breathed a sigh of relief, finally feeling a little better.

But then she heard Qi Yan continue to explain:

"Don't misunderstand, what I mean by inactivation is the loss of a certain property of the blood, not that I can no longer control it, so even if you persist, you have no chance of winning."

White Queen: "..."

Thank you for your kindness!

Couldn't you have just hidden your shortcomings a little, so I could feel a little better?

She suppressed her resentment, forced herself to stand up despite her exhaustion, helped the Black Queen up, and turned to walk out of the city.

Qi Yan hurriedly tried to help her up, but was scared away by the White Queen's glare that seemed to want to devour him.

"Oh dear, victory and defeat are common occurrences in war, don't be so resentful."

"My resentment isn't because you defeated me. Also, don't get so close. You killed the Elector; we're enemies now!"

"You acted quite convincingly, as if you don't expect him to..."

"Shut up!"

Amidst Qi Yan's noisy harassment, the three people and the ghost walked together like friends on the ruins of Viseheim.

To be precise, it was the Gemini Queen who tried her best to create an atmosphere of confrontation with Qi Yan, but unfortunately Qi Yan always managed to stick to them with his thick skin, constantly pestering them with questions.

The Witch King remained silent throughout, even more obedient than when he was a child facing his father.

In this battle at Viseheim, he was undoubtedly the one who suffered the most setbacks, winning nothing throughout the entire fight.

First, Qi Yan dragged her out and forcibly revived her, then she was defeated again by the White Queen, and finally she was scolded by Qi Yan and slapped in the face with facts.

The Witch King is somewhat withdrawn...

Outside the city of Viseheim, the Voices of the Queen were on high alert.

They had noticed that the sounds of the battle within the city had ceased, proving that the battle was over.

They were unsure which side would ultimately prevail, especially regarding the final blood wolf that blotted out the sky, which they could clearly see even from outside the city.

Faced with such a monstrous and terrifying method, the Voices of the Queen began to feel a degree of distrust towards their Queen for the first time.

Not far away, Arturo and Czerny were also somewhat nervous.

Arturo's gaze darted around, as if searching for the best escape route.

But she did not take any action because she knew that if Qi Yan won, she would definitely face Qi Yan's pursuit if she dared to run away now!

If she might have had some ulterior motives before, now she's so honest that even she can hardly believe it.

There is nothing else to it but to follow one's heart!

"Out!"

A gasp came from the Queen's Voice team.
