Chapter 887: Crisscrossed Fantasies (2)

While Rhode and his other self clashed, the battles between the others had also begun. Lize and Marlene instinctively stayed close to Anne, but were quickly stopped by their enemies.

“Hmph, where do you think you’re going!”

The enemy Marlene clad in red leather armor scoffed and struck forward with her blade. Marlene watched as the enemy approached, but days of training with Canary came into effect at this moment. From the start, Marlene and Lize thought that they were learning basic skills, but as the days passed, Canary and Mini Bubble Gum turned up the difficulty. As a result, Marlene and Lize were tortured all day while thinking that this was just special training.

But if Rhode were to learn this… He would know that he wasn’t the only one who was envious of how natives could improve so quickly…

Although Canary and Mini Bubble Gum ‘tortured’ Marlene and Lize with envy and jealousy in mind, the results of their ‘tough’ training were apparent at this moment. Marlene didn’t fluster at the ambush. Instead, she brandished the sword before her calmly. Clang! Sparks splashed as the two red blades clashed.

“You…”

Marlene felt strange as she witnessed the same red magic sword in the enemy’s hand. She finally experienced that the enemy wasn’t just an illusory image, but was truly her from another world instead. No matter how one tried to be her, one couldn’t replicate the same, exact aura from her.

“Useless! How can you listen to a man!”

The enemy Marlene gnashed her teeth. Her face was full of wrath and disdain. “As another me, how can you obey a man! Don’t you feel shameless to hand your fate to a man? What purpose does this serve for you?!”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about!”

Marlene felt ridiculous. She retorted and brandished the sword to deflect the enemy’s strike. On the other hand, the enemy took two steps back and her wine eyes glinted in unprecedented anger.

“You don’t know? How can you possibly not know! Men only desire your body. They are just scumbags who want to toy with you, dominate you, and abandon you when you get old!”

“You… Argh… What happened between you and Rhode?”

Marlene swept an odd glance at Rhode. Although she knew that the enemy Marlene was probably only one of a million hers in countless worlds, she couldn’t help but feel curious as to why she hated men this much. Even though Marlene indeed wasn’t interested in most men before meeting Rhode, that was because they weren’t attractive enough and it wasn’t due such an extent of hatred.

Could it be that my other self was played and abandoned by Rhode?

“Rhode?”

The other Marlene knitted her brow and snorted.

“That’s the man who captivated you? I will never be with such a shameless and foolish animal! You’re better off seeing the truth early! Men always get bored with the old. They will throw you aside after they’re done playing with you. If you persist in going about things the wrong way, you will end up in a tragedy!”

“I don’t think so.”

Marlene let out an inward sigh of relief. Even though she didn’t know why the enemy hated men so much, it seemed like she didn’t meet Rhode and wasn’t abandoned by him, judging from her tone. But the thought of her being possibly tossed aside by Rhode felt horrible.

But… Would I have become her if I didn’t meet Rhode?
