Chapter 350: Burning Sun (2/2)

”...” Gli was stupefied. She didn't expect that the sun she created would be easily rendered helpless like this. Take note, she used 30% of her actual qi to do this.

”It was a good system, but not yet enough to reach the apex.” Jin Rou commented on the attack, ”A good attack, all in all. But still useless in front of me.”

”Who really are you?” Fli was getting goosebumps by how Jin Rou acted. By how Jin Rou casually created an attack to cancel Gli's sun, she already knew that they met a real and strong opponent.

After all, that Sun of Burning Land was one of their best attack systems they could offer. And though it wasn't the strongest, it was still treasured and revered by their river.

”I told you already that I'm just a passerby.” Jin Rou sighed and answered the question, ”It's up to you whether your believe it or not.”

Jin Rou was telling the truth. After all, he was not really from this world and just passing by to get an item for his family. It wasn't that he's lying at all, because his words were still making sense. At least, for him.

”A mere passerby having this kind of power?” Fli laughed a bit because of the enemy's answer, ”It might be true that you're a passerby, but I refused to believe that it's just that. I know there is more to it.”

”Whether there is more to it or nothing, I don't think I am required to answer it.” Jin Rou shrugged his shoulder helplessly, ”After all, you three are going to die here. There's no exception. So learning anything will not make any difference.”

What Jin Rou was trying to say was there's no point knowing something when you know you're going to die. Since you couldn't carry your memories in another life, you just needed to shut up and accept your death.

Fli wanted to retort this. But Gli, who was shocked to her core a while ago, suddenly spoke, ”I refused to believe that you can do that!”

”...?” Fli's heart jumped from fright when she heard this.

Gli's immaturity was kicking off. She was the youngest and spoiled woman under Riverwood and in fact, the most talented one of them three. She was arrogant and acted like a child more often than not. Since birth, she hadn't experienced this type of things wherein her one of the prided systems would be nullified helplessly.

It was a kick to her heart. And she couldn't take it. She needed to take back the confidence she had in order to calm herself. Or else, it would born a demon in her heart, a shadow that she wouldn't be able to overcome in the next few years.

”Buzz!” However, just when Fli was about to calm Gli down, a spear made of lightning came past her. The spear's speed was faster than her reaction.

Gli wanted to defend from this, since she was the target of this attack. However, her reactions were slower than Fli and couldn't do anything at all.

”Activate!” Shu, who was silent all this time, activated all her defensive treasures and surrounded Gli with protection. This happened in just a matter of split second.

However, it was still useless.
