Chapter 257: Reason Of Failure

Description

Bai Yue Ling’s little face went pale, revealing a look of terror and fear as she stumbled backward. In a single blow, all four of her companions had fallen.

Even so, she stubbornly raised her divine staff, shielding her body with everything she had.

“What use is one person alone?” Blood Rain laughed dismissively. “Your companions have already failed. Do you still think you have a chance?”

“At least I haven’t given up yet…”

Bai Yue Ling’s teeth trembled slightly, as if she were quite frightened.

“So what if you haven’t given up? Against this despair-inducing power of mine…”

Blood Rain spread her arms wide as surging Demonic Flame raged wildly around her, shooting straight into the sky. “Open the Battle Power List and take a look! Right now, I am the strongest player in the Fate World. I’ve trampled everyone beneath my feet!”

On the Battle Power List, she had indeed surpassed “Under the Skirt Dance” and claimed the number one spot.

“So what if it’s Borrowed Power? At least I’ve defended Blood Age’s standing and crushed your schemes! Right now, in front of me, you’re nothing but a bunch of ants I can squish whenever I please!”

Bai Yue Ling murmured, “Being so arrogant with Borrowed Power…”

“What did you say?”

Blood Rain’s gaze suddenly turned icy as she spoke in a low voice.

Bai Yue Ling pressed her rosy lips together and said nothing, seemingly accepting the fact of her defeat.

Seeing this, a satisfied glint flashed through Blood Rain’s eyes, and she laughed loudly. “I’ll give you one last chance, Priest Hero.”

“What?”

“Join us in Blood Age, and I’ll wipe the slate clean of all past grudges.” Blood Rain said. “As long as you’re loyal to me, I can give you resources others can only dream of. I can… make your life even better than it was beside Ying Ye and the others!”

“Better than Ying Ye?”

Bai Yue Ling tilted her head. “Do you think… you can really settle things down for good, with no one left to threaten you?”

“Of course. After this battle, our guild’s position in the Royal Capital will be completely secure. No one will ever threaten us again.” Blood Rain sneered. “As for Ying Ye? She’s just a slightly more capable assassin. Besides hiding in the shadows and ambushing people, what else can she do?”

“Mm… you’re right. That big sister Ying Ye really isn’t all that.”

Bai Yue Ling pondered for a moment. “Looks like I have no choice but to accept your invitation then.”

A smile spread across Blood Rain’s face. “Oh?”

She walked slowly up to Blood Rain, then… forcefully slapped away the right hand Blood Rain had extended.

“But the thing I, Little White, love most is——”

Bai Yue Ling tilted her head up slightly. Even though she was shorter than Blood Rain, she seemed to be looking down on her:

“Saying No to smug big sisters like you!”

The moment she finished speaking, she dashed backward, lightly stirring the tip of her staff in midair as a Holy Ball flew toward Blood Rain.

Blood Rain merely let out a cold snort. “An ungrateful wretch… At this point, do you really think a single Holy Ball can turn the tide?”

She stood confidently in place, not dodging at all, letting the Holy Ball drift closer.

Because her health was still in good shape—over 90 percent—and Bai Yue Ling’s previous damage had only been 10 percent. Even if this Holy Ball were some enhanced secret weapon, there was no way it could blow away 90 percent of her health out of thin air…

Boom——!!!

With an earth-shattering roar, the vast land itself seemed to tremble. Devouring Dark Holy Light pierced the heavens as a colossal Mushroom Cloud slowly rose, blotting out the sun and casting yet another shadow over this battered land within the Natural Forest.

Bai Yue Ling was blasted far away by the shockwave. She quickly flapped her wings to steady herself, and through the scattering dust, she gazed at the hill that had been completely leveled to the ground, murmuring:

“She’s still not dead?”

After a long while, the smoke finally cleared.

Blood Rain, who had been so arrogant just moments ago, now lay weakly on the ground, her body covered in gaping wounds. Blood gushed out endlessly, pooling beneath her into a growing puddle.

She gritted her teeth in pain, barely concealing the panic in her eyes:

“Damn it… what’s going on? There’s no way the damage should be this high…”

Bai Yue Ling flew over leisurely, patting her divine staff with her small hand, a sly smile of triumph on her face:

“Do you know why I was just coasting earlier and never made a move alongside my teammates?”

She stepped onto the scorched black earth, looking down at Blood Rain’s utterly shocked face, and smiled:

“Because I accidentally discovered that after my Holy Ball upgraded to perfect quality, I could keep it sustained by consuming a bit of mana. As long as it doesn’t touch an enemy or I don’t command it to detonate, it won’t explode… and what’s even more interesting is that they can stack together.”

Blood Rain’s expression shifted slightly. “So you didn’t act during the fight because you were…”

“That’s right. I’ve been quietly stockpiling Holy Balls the whole time, just waiting to land the final blow on you.”

Bai Yue Ling’s eyelashes fluttered as she hopped around Blood Rain in little jumps. “Honestly, it was pretty nerve-wracking~ I was originally planning to stockpile nine more and have my teammates help pin you down… but I never expected you to wipe out everyone with one ultimate move. For a split second, I really thought I was going to lose.”

She leaned down, her two large white rabbits swaying slightly above Blood Rain’s head, a mischievous smile on her face:

“But what I really didn’t expect was for you to be this dumb~ Not only did you fail to eliminate me right away, but you deliberately walked up to show off, giving me the chance to attack you.”

Blood Rain’s face turned ashen as she trembled slightly. “You bastard…”

“Ah~ small fry are so boring to talk to. Even when they curse, they only know a few words. How lame~”

Bai Yue Ling pulled out a mana potion, shoved it into her mouth, and chugged it down. Then she swung her staff and launched a Holy Ball.

“In short, there’s only one reason you failed…”

As she spoke, the final Holy Ball drifted right in front of Blood Rain.

“After gaining power, you became far too arrogant and conceited!”

With a tremendous boom, a system notification rang out—

[You have slain the player “Blood Rain.”]

The world fell silent. A warm, gentle breeze blew across this land that had been left scarred and battered by battle, bringing with it a touch of vitality. Surely, in a little while, fresh green grass and saplings would sprout here again.

Staring at the figure before her that dissolved into white light, Bai Yue Ling was silent for a long time. Then, she collapsed weakly to her knees.

“Waaaah… why did I never realize Blood Rain was that evil before?”

“She bullied so many beautiful and seductive girls, and heartlessly killed our big sisters too.”

“Why not just have Wei Ji hypnotize you into a good little girl!”

Just as she was pounding the ground and wailing, a lithe black figure suddenly flashed out from the side!

“Prie——st——He——ro——!”

Wine Miss sprang out like a rabbit, tackling Bai Yue Ling to the ground. Her slender, alluring body wrapped in the Bunny Girl Uniform pressed down on Bai Yue Ling, her two fluffy rabbit ears trembling slightly as her big, adorable eyes were filled with admiration.

“Priest Hero, you’re absolutely incredible! You managed to pull off such an earth-shattering explosion and instantly obliterated that Blood Rain!”

“Are you really a priest? Are you sure you’re not some Red Demon Clan Mage who can only fire a nuke once a day?”

“You haven’t joined a guild yet, right? Come join us at Wine Song! Our guild has all kinds of big sisters in every variety! And from time to time, we even hold Silver Party events! You’ll definitely be interested!”

“Don’t make me get on my knees and beg you!”

The lively, restless bunny girl clung tightly to Bai Yue Ling, her black-stockinged thighs rubbing back and forth against her seemingly without a care, while her little bunny tail wagged excitedly along with her perky rear. Every sentence poured out like a rapid-fire barrage.

Bai Yue Ling’s head was spinning from all the talk, her face flushing red as she said:

“Fi… rst…”
