Chapter 1349 - City of the Decisive Battle (6) (2/2)

Up until that moment, the Catherine with scarily-slow reactions finally responded to what happened and retreated hurriedly in shock, waving her arms around uncontrollably For that reason, the snacks that were in her ar at this scene, Little Five, atching the bustling show, sulked instantly She tried to extend her arrab her ‘treasures’, but it was a pity that she couldn’t budge after being ilared at Catherine, yelling at the top of her lungs

“Hey! You fool, don’t throw my snacks on the floor!”

“Whoa! Sorry, I’m sorry!”

Little Five’s roar startled Catherine The latter lowered her body instinctively and picked up the snacks that scattered on the ground After all, she was used to being ordered around by Little Five all this while Thus, as soon as she heard Little Five’s order, her first reaction was to immediately do what she commanded Despite that, this definitely wasn’t an experiment of Pavlovian theory[1]

And just as Catherine lowered her head and was about to bend over to pick up the snacks, the Angel of Light returned to her senses And this time, Rhode and Little Five finally witnessed what they hadn’t seen clearly just now Catherine was engrossed in picking up the snacks scattered on the ground Meanwhile, the Angel of Light flourished her sword repeatedly with great vigor, and from the momentum alone, each of her strikes could split the tower in front of her in two The force fro was lethal and powerful

But what surprised Rhode and Little Five was that such an attack didn’t work at all against Catherine Rather than saying that the attacks were blocked, it would be more appropriate to say that they were directly erased Rhode felt the spiritual power contained in the sword that the Angel of Light lifted But after it erupted to attack Catherine, it seeust of wind

I didn’t know Catherine had that kind of ability…

At that moment, Rhode was considered to finally put his mind at ease Indeed, for a personality like Catherine’s to survive until now could be considered a fluke, just like those singers who ran to the battlefield to offer condolences and do public service If there weren’t any backstage supporters behind them, wouldn’t they have already been kidnapped or sianization or the enemy? And if an absolute pacifist like Catherine, who couldn’t fight or curse back, didn’t have an ace up her sleeves, perhaps she would have died long ago

“I, I don’t think that’s right Fighting doesn’t bring any good; it only brings sorrow…”

The scene before theht to the point of literally going crazy and attacked Catherine repeatedly, but Catherine was completely unresponsive to her She didn’t even try to hide, but was si her philosophy to her other self It reo, where an undefeatable h Catherine’s language skill wasn’t as strong as the ain was, in a way, like cutting flesh using a blunt knife

“Haa… Haa… Haa…”

After some time, perhaps a few ht who attacked incessantly finally stopped At that ued and could only half-kneel on the ground and breath heavily On one hand, she consuth in the previous battle, and on the other hand, Rhode believed that she was also mentally exhausted After all, whoever listened to Catherine’s constant nagging that

“fighting isn’t right; we should get along with each other peacefully” and yet, couldn’t hurl even a punch on her, was an extre torture

But Rhode believed that what Catherine was saying wasn’t nonsense; or rather, while it sounded like nonsense to others, it wasn’t to herself Let’s not forget that this was theelse, and the will to influence reality was hard evidence of that Catherine didn’t want to hurt anyone, so she didn’t do it But on the other hand, she wanted others to not hurt themselves either

To put it bluntly, Catherine wanted a world where people didn’t hurt each other anymore And this trait of hers reacted to the fact that while no one else could bring her down, she also couldn’t defeat others And the decision to fight with brute force like the Angel of Light was, in fact, the stupidest If it were Rhode, he would have chosen to confuse Catherine with his words, before going up against her As long as he didn’t give Catherine the chance to be firm in her beliefs, her ability would be rendered ineffective But unfortunately, it looked like the Angel of Light clearly didn’t know anything about it, hence why she had fallen for it…

“Alright! Go! Hit her! Now’s the chance! Catherine! Beat her up!”

Looking at the panting Angel of Light, the most excited person was actually Little Five It wasn’t surprising since the Angel of Light had attacked the snacks on the ground in order to force Catherine to fight with her Even though Catherine did her best to protect them, some of the snacks that Little Five loved the most were still crushed ruthlessly This left Little Five in displeasure If she weren’t imprisoned now, perhaps she would have rolled up her sleeves and fought the Angel of Light herself

“That… Isn’t too nice…”

Upon hearing Little Five’s gruel of Light who had fallen to her knees, looking as exhausted as a dog, and turned to both of them It seemed like Catherine was clearly disinterested in Little Five’s words And upon seeing her reaction, Little Five sighed in frustration, blinked, and sood idea Then, she continued to speak

“It’s fine even if ither! You won, anyway”

“Okay then…”

After Little Five urged Catherine on, the latter nodded with doubt But soon after, she walked up to the Angel of Light, caer, and tapped the Angel of Light’s forehead lightly Unsure if it were due to the Angel of Light being too exhausted or because she was entirely speechless to the point of giving up on Catherine’s ability to be ie in the slightest

“Don’t do that again, okay?”

For some reason, Rhode felt that this ht instead

“———!”

And the er touched the other party’s forehead, suddenly, the low Soon after, two halos within the crystal expanded and shrouded Catherine and the Angel of Light together The radiance becaht

And when Rhode opened his eyes again, the rune that bound him and Little Five had vanished, while the one In front of them, there were only the two Catherines ere suspended in an to flow and then, both of thean to overlap each other

In the end, theyat this scene, the corners of Rhode’s htly

Looks like that’s what theprocedure that involves pairing a stimulus with a conditioned response
