As the fiery pillars emerged from the ground, a curvy, black silhouette slid across the ground strangely. The pillars of lava were always slightly slower, and would only devour the afterimages left behind by her.
When the entire volcanic crater appeared, Asha'ruiya was already a hundred meters away. She tipped the foot before her up slightly, raising the sword in front of her. The sword was almost invisibly thin, splitting her perfect body in half...
The black sword reflected both sides of her silver mask. It was impossible to tell what expression she was wearing, but her demeanor was imposing, with the icy aura of a soldier that was ready to face death.
”One-Word Slash!”
{TL Note: It literally implies the slash is like the Chinese character '一' which means one.}
She remained still as a statue, but as she uttered the words, a dark aura rapidly contracted toward Asha'ruiya's foot like a ring...
More rings of dark auras contracted rapidly and accumulated at her foot.
Suddenly, the dark glow erupted under Asha'ruiya's foot in the shape of a deathly lotus!
Her sword swept forward like a black raven gliding along the ground. The icy afterimage pierced through everything, including Mo Fan's wildly erupting volcanic crater!
Whoosh! The sound it produced was incredibly short, yet shocking. The volcanic crater was slashed in half.
The woman was so quick that it felt like she had blinked to the other side of the volcanic crater as soon as the lotus blossomed. The dark lotus slowly dissipated, but the woman was still lifting her sword in front of her, as if she had never moved it!
Blood sprayed across the place like a mist. Mo Fan had a red wound on his chest. The cut was very thin, but blood kept jetting out from it.
Protected by the scorching flames, Mo Fan only felt a sudden chill from his chest, and a shadow flickering past him. Luckily, he was able to react instinctively. Otherwise, the slash might actually have sliced his chest in half.
”How was it? I said that you are no match for me!” the woman under the silver mask giggled.
”It's just a tiny cut with some blood, it's nothing serious!” Mo Fan glanced at the cut. It was not anything serious.
A spurt of flame swept over Mo Fan's chest. In order to stop the bleeding, Mo Fan decisively seared the cut just to seal it off!
It was pretty cool to mend his wound like that, but the pain was shocking. Mo Fan tried his best to pretend that he was at ease, but his forehead was already covered in cold sweat. Asha'ruiya saw the little twitch on his face.
Asha'ruiya giggled even more when she saw Mo Fan forcing himself. Her hips were shaking from her laughter. Her alluring temperament stood out more than the dark energy shrouding her.
Hearing the woman's giggles, Mo Fan had the urge to tie the cunning vixen up and whip her a hundred times. With just five minutes, he could guarantee that she would not be laughing anymore, and would struggle to get out of bed too!
”Do you want me to take a look at your injuries?” Asha'ruiya asked.
”But your milk is poisonous!” Mo Fan did not forget to trash-talk even when he was in pain.
{TL Note: Healing magic is described as feeding milk as a modern saying, maybe because both are giving vitality to someone? A Healer is also called a nanny, and is very common in video games. Looking for a nanny for party quest!}
”Little Mo Fan, it seems like you desperately need some instruction. I guess I'll just beat you up, heal you, beat you up, heal you, and repeat the same things for a hundred times. That way, you'll learn how you should talk to a noble Saintess of the Parthenon Temple,” Asha'ruiya replied, her voice all smiles.
”But that wasn't something you said in bed last night...” Mo Fan deferred.
Asha'ruiya's chest heaved. It was not the first time that the asshole had vilified her with filthy words. She did not lose her calm, as she did not want others to know that it was actually getting on her nerves. However, Mo Fan seemed to be enjoying it; he acted as if he wanted to let the whole world know the Candidate for the role of the Goddess was actually very passionate when it came to having sexual intercourse!
”I have decided to take you out first!” Asha'ruiya was serious this time.
The strength of the Chinese team would decline significantly after she took Mo Fan out. She would worry about Zorro later. Even though it was not as ideal, anyone that dared to piss her off had to scram right away!
”Bring it on!” Mo Fan straightened his face and prepared himself for Asha'ruiya's attack.
Asha'ruiya executed the Tip-Toe Death Lotus once again. It was a kind of footwork, allowing her to dance lightly and gracefully like a black butterfly, making her movements unpredictable.
Mo Fan stood still, waiting for his chance patiently. His eyes were following Asha'ruiya's movement with a grim expression.
”Now!” Mo Fan yelled all of a sudden. A Gravitational Space suddenly came crashing down.
Asha'ruiya giggled in amusement. She was a Space Mage, so she was clearly not afraid of Mo Fan's spell. Strictly speaking, her Space Element was actually stronger than Mo Fan's.
Asha'ruiya quickly summoned a Gravitational Space in the opposite direction to cancel out Mo Fan's spell.
