At the moment the two weapons made contact, Lilith thought she heard the sound of a famous blade shattering. The iron sword in her hand broke with a crack, and she leapt back three meters.
‘My god, how did Lili become a stats monster? Looks like I can’t use ordinary weapons.’
After a brief assessment, Lilith concluded that ordinary weapons probably posed little threat to Bai Lili and might not even get close. So, she drew the dagger from her waist and cut her palm, letting the blood flow out.
Seeing Lilith do this from across the way, Bai Lili was a bit surprised. She didn’t know what Lilith was planning, but it definitely wasn’t useless. Once Bai Lili figured that out, she decided she shouldn’t let Lilith succeed.
Bai Lili quickly dashed to the front of Lilith, who was still chanting an incantation, ready to interrupt Lilith’s spellcasting with a loving elbow strike. But Lilith dodged it with a sidestep. Right after dodging the elbow strike, Lilith finished her chant.
A blood-red longsword appeared in Lilith’s hand, engraved with rose patterns. Lilith gave the blood sword a few practice swings, finding it quite handy.
Seeing the next attack coming, Lilith spread her wings and flew into the air, looking down at Bai Lili from above.
Bai Lili stomped her foot, pointing at Lilith in the air.
“How can you just fly up there? Can’t you come down for a fair fight?”
Lilith just laughed.
“Being able to fly is part of my strength too, Lili. I’m going to counterattack now.”
Lilith thought Bai Lili had no way to counter an airborne opponent, but Bai Lili’s next move left her utterly dumbfounded.
Bai Lili’s feet left the ground, and she actually flew up, letting out a proud huff.
“Who said only you could fly? Watch this, Lilith.”
Lilith was completely stunned.
‘The hell? Is this right? How can she fly too?’
But reality didn’t give Lilith time to think. Bai Lili’s next wave of attacks came. There was no technique, just a simple overhead chop. Lilith crossed her blood sword above her head. The sword didn’t break.
But Lilith was slammed straight into the ground. She truly didn’t dare underestimate Bai Lili now. Bai Lili hovered in the air, pointed a little finger at Lilith, then turned her wrist upward, opened her palm, and clenched it tightly.
Five chains erupted from the ground around Lilith, shooting straight for her, trying to bind her firmly. Lilith was so shocked she couldn’t speak, her mind full of吐槽.
‘What is this now? How does she have a crowd control skill too?’
Lilith kept dodging, trying to avoid Bai Lili’s binding chains. Bai Lili slowly descended to the ground, watching Lilith dodge and feeling like she was pulling off some sick moves.
“Didn’t expect it, but I’m pretty awesome.”
Bai Lili rubbed her nose. If Lilith could hear that, she’d definitely say: The stats monster thinks she’s pulling off sick moves.
Looking at the chains before her, Lilith felt she had truly underestimated her opponent. Of course Vivianna wouldn’t let her pass so easily.
Lilith now decided to go all out. While dodging Bai Lili’s attacks and chains, she muttered words Bai Lili couldn’t understand.
Bai Lili, frustrated at not being able to hit Lilith, grew impatient.
“What are you mumbling? Take this!”
A horizontal slash from Bai Lili was still easily dodged by Lilith. Lilith understood in her heart that the reason she could hold the upper hand now was due to her training.
Bai Lili hadn’t trained at all, relying only on instinct and wild, unskilled slashing, yet she had already forced Lilith to go all out.
Bai Lili watched as Lilith finished her chant. Lilith’s entire aura seemed to intensify by a few degrees. Lilith stopped dodging. With a backhand swing, she severed the chains. She plunged the blood sword into the ground. The severed chains dissipated into specks of starlight.
Facing Bai Lili charging at her, Lilith grabbed Bai Lili’s wrist with one hand. When Bai Lili threw a punch with her other hand, Lilith enveloped it tightly with her palm.
She didn’t forget to tease Bai Lili, her tone filled with pleasure as if she wasn’t holding a hand but a precious treasure.
“Lili’s hand is so soft.”
Seeing herself teased like this, Bai Lili broke free from Lilith’s grip. Lilith hadn’t used much force to restrain her anyway. She retreated and picked up the blood sword stuck in the ground.
“Lili, I think you should surrender. Don’t you want to go home first?”
Lilith tried to persuade Bai Lili to surrender step by step. She really didn’t want to hurt Bai Lili.
Clearly, Bai Lili wasn’t very receptive, after all, she really wanted what Vivianna had promised.
Bai Lili shook the sword composed of golden flames in her hand.
“Enough talk. Don’t think only you have a second stage.”
Bai Lili plunged the sword in her hand into the ground. Lilith immediately sensed danger and rushed forward to interrupt Bai Lili’s action. When she was just one meter away from Bai Lili…
Billowing golden flames suddenly erupted around Bai Lili. Lilith did a backflip, dodging the sudden fiery assault.
As time passed, the golden flames gradually turned red, then exploded outward in all directions. The shockwave made it impossible for Lilith to see clearly what was happening.
When everything finally settled, Lilith saw Bai Lili’s current form. Her long golden hair now had red tips. The red on her ears and the tip of her tail became more pronounced. Her eyes had also changed from their original color to heterochromatic pupils—left gold, right red.
Bai Lili’s aura had completely changed compared to before.
“So, Lilith, how about it? The current me can beat you until you don’t know which way is north.”
Bai Lili placed her hands on her hips as she spoke to Lilith.
This time, Lilith didn’t say much. She charged at Bai Lili with extreme speed, thrusting her blood sword straight forward. It was blocked by Bai Lili using that flame-composed sword.
And that flame-composed sword was no longer golden. Red flames flickered from it, emitting a dangerous aura.
Bai Lili blocked Lilith’s attack but didn’t rush to counterattack. Instead, she retreated several meters.
Then, she slashed at the air in front of her. A blade of air wrapped in red flames shot toward Lilith. Lilith injected her blood into the blood sword in her hand.
With one slash, she cleaved the incoming air blade. She was numb by now. Just moments ago, it was a weak little fox. Now, with a mask, she’d turned into a Super Saiyan fox. All sorts of moves were being thrown at her face—crowd control, damage output. She really had both stats and mechanics.
Sweat beaded on Lilith’s face as she shouted at Bai Lili.
“Lili, you don’t have any other forms, do you?”
Bai Lili looked at Lilith, whom she had successfully pushed back, wearing a sweet smile.
“Why should I tell you?”
Immediately, she slashed twice more. Two air blades flew toward Lilith. Nothing changed; they were still severed by Lilith’s blood sword. Seeing that Lilith was almost exhausted, Bai Lili simply threw the sword in her hand at Lilith.
Then, taking advantage of the moment Lilith was blocking the thrown sword, Bai Lili summoned ten chains. Before Lilith could react, they bound her. Her limbs were restrained by chains, and two more chains wrapped around her waist.
Lilith tried to move a couple of times and found the chains were quite tight. They weren’t something she could break with her current strength.
Bai Lili walked up to Lilith, who was bound by chains. She gently lifted Lilith’s chin, feeling secretly thrilled inside. She finally had her day of counterattack. Looking at the helpless Lilith before her…
Bai Lili stroked Lilith’s face, her tone filled with unconcealed pleasure.
“So, Lilith, do you surrender or not?”
Lilith looked at Bai Lili in front of her, her eyes rolling as if she had figured something out. Then she spoke, pitifully 🥺.
“Lili, you’re too strong. Can you let go of my hands first? That way I can surrender properly, right?”
Bai Lili thought about it and felt Lilith had a point. Letting go of Lilith’s hands wouldn’t allow her to do anything anyway.
Immediately, the chains released Lilith’s hands. And the moment Lilith’s hands were freed, she grabbed Bai Lili’s head, pushed the mask to the side of her head, and kissed her.
Before Bai Lili could react, Lilith’s lips were on hers. Her body gradually went weak, and the chains that had bound Lilith disappeared.
Lilith looked at Bai Lili, who had gone limp in her arms, and spoke with a smile.
“I won, Lili.”
Bai Lili struggled a couple of times in Lilith’s embrace, refuting with some anger.
“No, no, no! I was clearly winning at the start. You used a dirty trick. Who kisses someone while fighting? That’s being a pervert!”
“And that was my first kiss! I don’t accept this!”
Seeing Bai Lili being so stubborn, Lilith said,
“Then I’ll just have to kiss Lili again.”
Hearing this, Bai Lili immediately waved her hands.
“No, no! I lost, I lost. I surrender, okay?”
Immediately afterward, both Bai Lili and Lilith were teleported out. Vivianna wore the expression of someone who loved drama, her tone filled with pleasure.
“Lilith, did you like the big gift I gave you?”
Looking at this Vivianna before her, Lilith had the urge to step forward and punch her. But she kept her composure and asked,
“What the hell is that mask on Lili? How can it boost her abilities so much?”
Vivianna merely said,
“Wait for you to discover it yourself. That’s more fun than me telling you directly.”
Lilith expressed that she hated riddlers.
Vivianna then looked at Bai Lili and spoke.
“Calculating the time, that thing should be arriving soon.”
Bai Lili looked confused. What thing was arriving? In just ten seconds, a pink glow flashed across the sky and flew in through the castle window.
It finally landed in front of Bai Lili. Lilith quickly moved to shield Bai Lili behind her. When she saw what had flown over, it was a Tang sword. The scabbard was black and pink.
The sword swiftly bypassed Lilith and flew into Bai Lili’s hand. Bai Lili looked at the sword in her hand and, as if compelled by some force, drew it from its scabbard. A fox was carved on the blade. The entire blade had a beautiful, light pink hue.
Then, Bai Lili sheathed the sword again and asked Vivianna, puzzled.
“Didn’t you say you’d only give it to me if I won?”
Vivianna spread her hands.
“I said I’d give it to you if you won. I didn’t say it couldn’t choose for itself.”
Only then did Bai Lili realize she had been tricked by this Vivianna.
