Black Blade?
Why was there a weapon embedded in this worm’s wound?
Ying Ye had no time to think further. She immediately fired her grappling hook to seize the hilt, leaping forward to reach it.
“This is an old wound—perhaps this is the only way to kill this worm.”
Ying Ye extended her right hand and grasped the hilt. Dark Fall power suddenly erupted, perfectly merging with the black glow on the blade.
At that moment, from the corner of her eye, she caught sight of a void rift tearing open ahead of the worm. Terrifying, chaotic, and evil aura poured out from it; everywhere the eye could see was withered yellow earth and raging flames.
“That’s… the abyss?”
The worm let out another hiss and, like a sea serpent, swam straight toward the entrance of the abyss.
“No—Little White is still trapped inside! I can’t let it get in!”
Ying Ye gritted her teeth, gripped the hilt with iron-like hands, stepped forward, and along the ferocious wound on the worm’s surface, pushed the blade with all her strength!
As the blade tore through the wound, purple blood gushed out like a fountain. A terrifying, spectacular crack rapidly spread from the wound, running from head to tail, splitting the worm’s body in two and forming a shocking closed loop.
The worm instantly writhed and twisted madly like an earthworm sprinkled with salt, as if suffering unimaginable pain.
Far inside the worm, Bai Yue Ling gulped down a mana potion, raised her divine staff high, and gathered light around her, forming an enormous holy light orb that shone like a second sun!
At the same moment, Ying Ye’s entire body was enveloped in blazing black flames. Pitch-black magical power soared skyward; she was like a Shura goddess in the night, tightly gripping the hilt and swinging fiercely along that fatal wound!
“Die—for—me—already!”
In that instant, the hearts of the two girls were closely linked. They roared in unison, pouring all their strength into their most powerful strikes!
The pure and holy light orb exploded with a BOOM inside the worm, brilliant as a supernova, blasting its interior to pieces! While the fallen black blade, like the scythe of the Grim Reaper, cleaved the worm’s surface in two!
Before this devastating combined attack, the massive body of the abyss worm instantly collapsed, breaking into countless fragments. Under the frenzied slicing and tearing of the endless void turbulence, its corpse was continuously cut apart, finally drifting into the depths of the void, vanishing forever.
【Congratulations, you have reached level 20.】
【You have obtained your first class change opportunity. You may now accept a class change quest from specific NPCs; completing the quest will allow class change.】
The system prompt rang in Ying Ye’s ears, but she had no time to pay attention. She anxiously searched for Bai Yue Ling’s figure.
“Little White! Where’s Little White?”
She looked around ceaselessly, yet could not find that charming and lovable girl.
“Could Little White… already have been digested?”
Ying Ye’s eyes suddenly lost their light. She hung her arms listlessly, letting the void turbulence carve bloody marks across her body.
Just then, a pair of snow-white, slender hands embraced her from behind.
“I’m right here, Ying Ye. Thank you for all your hard work.”
Bai Yue Ling peeked out from behind, smiling happily as she planted a fragrant kiss on Ying Ye’s bloodstained cheek.
Ying Ye froze slightly. Deep in her beautiful eyes reflected Bai Yue Ling’s figure. Suddenly, she reached out, cupped Bai Yue Ling’s face, and leaned down—
“Mchu?!”
Bai Yue Ling let out a surprised cry, yet showed no intention of resisting. Instead, she obediently tilted her head up, letting Ying Ye take what she wanted.
Faint dark holy light was released from the staff tip, continuously restoring health to both of them. Under the illumination of endless stars, Bai Yue Ling trembled slightly; her cheeks gradually turned flushed pink, tender and alluring.
“Phaa~”
Finally, at Bai Yue Ling’s waist-pinching urging, Ying Ye reluctantly released her lips. Her gaze firm, she stared at Bai Yue Ling.
“Little White, let’s get married in the real world!”
“Y-Y-You… why are you saying that now?!”
The duration of the dark holy light had ended. The void turbulence blowing past like gale winds once again began to chip away at their health.
If they stayed in this interstitial space much longer, it wouldn’t be long before they were slowly worn to death.
“But… how are we supposed to get out?”
Ying Ye looked around in confusion, finding no way to leave. The only passage was the gradually closing spatial rift far away that led to the abyss.
But at their current levels, diving into the abyss would be no different from death.
Just as the two were at a loss, Dark Lisa suddenly chuckled lightly.
“Useless little fishies—when it matters most, you still have to rely on this big sister who’s always with you.”
She emerged like a phantom from Bai Yue Ling’s lower abdomen, extending her right hand toward Ying Ye: “Little girl, lend me your body one more time.”
“Mm.” Ying Ye nodded without hesitation. Dark Lisa instantly merged into her.
The scene from the battle with the Slime Queen replayed—Ying Ye’s ninja outfit once again began to “dark fall-ize.” Its original colors were gradually covered by interwoven black-and-red shadows, as if dyed by the deep night sky and burning black flames. Excess fabric was neatly trimmed away; the material became lighter and more breathable, carrying a bewitching charm.
Dark Lisa controlled Ying Ye’s body, tightly gripped the hilt, sheathed the sharp blade, and assumed an iaido stance.
This was a state of ultimate focus and calm—all power concentrated in that single moment, awaiting release.
“Watch closely.”
With Dark Lisa’s low shout, a circular arc of black light suddenly flashed. A jet-black blade beam surged upward like raging waves, stars flickering wildly as if the entire world were about to be split in two.
Shiiing!
Accompanied by a crisp cracking sound, a two-meter spatial rift appeared before the two girls. On the other side lay vast mountainous terrain, leading to who knows where.
“Hurry and go in— it’ll close soon.”
Dark Lisa slipped back into Bai Yue Ling’s lower abdomen, as casually as if she had accomplished something trivial.
Bai Yue Ling asked worriedly: “You’re not going to fall asleep again, are you?”
“No, the possession time was short this time. I’m just a little tired.” Dark Lisa replied.
Looking at the mountains on the other side of the rift, Bai Yue Ling grabbed Ying Ye’s right hand, and the two rushed in together.
The void rift quietly closed. Everything returned to silence; the howling fragment turbulence erased all traces, as if nothing had ever happened.
“Uwawah!”
The two girls stumbled and unexpectedly fell seated on the grass, their bottoms turning red from the impact.
This was a desolate mountainous area; looking around, moderately high hills and cliffs were scattered in an orderly yet barren way—though lush with greenery, it carried an air of desolation.
【Current Region — “Songyuan City”.】
Hearing the system prompt, Bai Yue Ling was slightly stunned.
“We’ve reached the kingdom’s border?”
Songyuan City—wasn’t that the place First Princess Trineph mentioned as the base of the Black-Clad Figures?
Moreover, the Coiling Dragon Mountains were nearby, which meant it was possible to encounter that red dragon girl from the group chat here.
Suddenly, Ying Ye flipped over and pinned Bai Yue Ling beneath her, hands braced on either side of Bai Yue Ling’s head. Her cheeks flushed, her gaze as affectionate as spring water as she stared at her.
Bai Yue Ling froze for a moment, then hurriedly struggled: “Ying Ye? W-What… what are you doing?!”
“That’s right—doing it.”
Ying Ye leaned close to Bai Yue Ling’s small ear, whispering softly.
“Little White, last time was far too rushed. This time, let’s take it seriously.”
“I’m already… utterly parched with thirst~”
