86 That one Knife (2/2)

At this moment, a red beam of light shot from afar. It was like a burning flame that tore through the air, issuing a sharp sound that headed straight for the gigantic black cocoon!

“Boom!”

A red beam that shot forward clashed violently with the black cocoon, producing a tumultuous explosion. The aftershocks of the explosion caused dust to roll up and the surrounding trees to tilt diagonally downwards. DualBladesToTraverseTheWorld, who failed to withdraw far enough, was thrown to the ground in a miserable state by the blast of wind from the explosion.

Everyone was stunned by the sudden change of events. However, before they could produce any exclamations, another similar red beam of light shot from afar.

No, there were two beams.

Hold on, there was another one!

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Three consecutive explosions resounded as black mist filled the skies and dust covered the black cocoon in layers. At the moment when the smoke dispersed and when the explosions died down, the sound of a fine, short and tiny but clear crack entered everyone’s ears.

It was like the sound produced when an eggshell cracked.

At this moment, a gentle gust of wind blew. The wind was so tender and soft, but it dispersed all the dust, eventually revealing the black cocoon’s state.

On closer look, the black cocoon’s surface was filled with numerous cracks!

“It has shattered, the virus black cocoon has shattered!”

Just as Biscuit managed a surprised exclamation, the black cocoon shattered completely like a ball of glass. It was reduced to numerous fragments that instantly turned into black mist, which quickly dug tunneled into the ground.

WindWithoutTrace’s body fell from midair and crashed to the ground with a thud. The fallen WindWithoutTrace’s eyes were closed and his face looked serene, as though he was asleep.

Biscuit heaved a sigh of relief and instructed the staff, “Inform WindWithoutTrace’s branch head and wake WindWithoutTrace from his virtual immersion.”

From the looks of it, WindWithoutTrace had been saved.

The four red beams had shattered the virus black cocoon, saving WindWithoutTrace!

But…where did the four red beams of light come from?

As the audience watched intently at the screen, they saw a person walking slowly out from the depths of the jungle.

The person wore a white veil while adorning a white laced dress. There was a big pink bow tie in front of her chest, while pink hair rolled down to her shoulders. A crystal bow was held in her right hand, and like a fairy, she entered everyone’s vision.

“Princess Xiao Xiao!” Sweets exclaimed.

The four red beams of light were Princess Xiao Xiao’s crystal arrows!

Biscuit said, “That is an A Class archery offensive skill—Crimson Netherworld!”

Once a combat skill was at A Class or above, it was not something that could be grasped through the accumulation of time. It required extraordinary insights, so for Princess Xiao Xiao to be able to harness an A Class offensive skill at such a young age, she was indeed an impressive genius.

Most importantly, the black cocoon had shattered because of the four arrows despite the three-man team being completely powerless against it. This sharp contrast impressed everyone.

The audience began to applaud and cheer Princess Xiao Xiao, as the repressive feelings from before turned to elation.

In the commentator stands, Sweets was also jumping in joy. The staff was constantly praising the excellence of the corporation’s princess. The atmosphere was extremely lively.

However, Biscuit fell silent amidst the din. His gaze landed on a corner of the screen. It was a shoulder that the cameras had forgotten.

That knife, that knife that easily stabbed into the black cocoon. How did it do it?

Princess Xiao Xiao’s four “Crimson Netherworld” arrows were indeed powerful, but were they really enough to shatter the virus black cocoon?

Most importantly, what did that knife do?

What…did it change?
