This sudden change in situation baffled Cassidy. If she were a person with perfect senses now, perhaps she would come up with countermeasures quickly. However, she was only a muddle-headed and one-track minded soul fragment at the moment. In this case, she was relatively surprised by the abrupt changes. She instinctively tried to escape, but no matter how hard she struggled, she just couldn’t get out of this mysterious world around her. She waved her arms and thrust her legs on the spot, which seemed somewhat comical. This left her increasingly dubious. She instantly retreated to stay as far away from Rhode as possible. But she quickly learned that no matter where she ran to, she was as though making no headway. No matter the direction or how much effort she put in, Rhode would stand before her whenever she lifted her head like he was waiting for her arrival.

“Phew…”

At this moment, Rhode heaved a sigh of relief.

It seems like this works pretty well.

Even though Cassidy’s ability was hard to deal with, Rhode was still the Void Dragon, after all. The battle between them was taking place in the Void Territory and under the Void Dragon’s soul protection, so it was predetermined that Rhode had the home field advantage. Besides, as the Void Dragon, he was the true dominator and conqueror of rules. Although Cassidy was powerful in the rules of ‘contrast’ as a ‘manager’, Rhode could fire her as the ‘boss’ no matter how capable she was. Currently, this was what Rhode was doing. He seized the opportune timing while Cassidy was dealing with his three shadow clones and caught her off guard, dragging her into his very own ‘void world’. In this place, he was the creator of all things including rules. As of now, he had weakened Cassidy’s mastery of the ‘contrast’ rule and here, she was basically no threat to him at all.

“You stole my power! How did you do it?”

Cassidy glared at Rhode. Facing her fierce stare, he shrugged nonchalantly, lifted his head, and gazed at her. Right now, Cassidy was unlike before. If she was like a hungry wolf before, she had become a terrifying monster in a horror movie now. Although her power was diminished to the lowest by Rhode, she continued to exude a dangerous presence. This left Rhode knitting his brows. For some unknown reason, he felt like the situation was far from ordinary. But even so, he held down the uncertainties hidden deep in his heart and sauntered toward her. Upon witnessing him closing in, Cassidy’s fuming and sinister expression turned terrified instantly as crystal-clear tears trickled down from the corner of her eyes as though she were wronged. She wailed and shivered, taking steps back in fear.

“N-No, stay away. You baddie. Don’t come near me! What are you trying to do? What are you trying to do to me?”

Cassidy screamed in lingering fear and Rhode sensed a strong, mysterious aura which left him puckering his brows. He clutched the sword hilt and stared at the young lady when suddenly, her expression changed once again. The terrified look disappeared in the blink of an eye, only to be replaced by a warm, passionate smile as though she had just witnessed something amusing.

“No… hahaha, stay away. Hahaha, I will kill you if you come any closer okay! I’m serious, hahaha. Look at you, hahaha… Don’t come here. If you dare come any closer…” Cassidy said when suddenly, her expression turned sinister, grim, and scary. She widened her mouth without any warning and growled like an agitated lioness. “…. I will kill a damn bast*rd like you hundreds of thousands of times! You scoundrel! Let me go! Do you hear me!”

“Frankly speaking… this is considered some sort of talent, I suppose.”

Rhode lamented softly at this scene. He couldn’t be blamed for thinking this way because the changes in Cassidy’s mood were as quick and abrupt as the ‘face-changing’ performances he watched in the real world: as soon as the performer turned away and looked back, he would have a whole new face. What surprised Rhode more was that Cassidy’s aura changed along with her mood. She no longer pretended to be strong even though she was afraid. Right now, whatever expression she put up was the aura she exuded. When she was afraid, she was totally like a harmless and timid little rabbit. But when she raged, she was like an erupting volcano. This transcended the realm of ’emotional’ and ‘mental illness’ and reached a realm unknown to ordinary humans… Back then, surely his younger sister didn’t create her for this unique ‘artistic talent’, right? Or perhaps ‘facial talent’?

“Argh… Ahhh!”

At this moment, a mournful scream interrupted Rhode’s thoughts. He realized that Cassidy seemed to be in incredible pain. She stretched out her arms, clutching her head. Her eyes were shut as her body shivered. Along with these reactions, Rhode discovered that something was disrupting his space!

“What happened?!”

“Oh no. Do it quickly, Big Brother!”

At this moment, his younger sister’s voice sounded anxiously in his ears.

“What’s wrong?”

“Her Order is crumbling. Big Brother, you still remember Cassidy’s power of contrast, right? She’s only a soul fragment now and doesn’t have the mastery to control it. The consequences will be dire if she undergoes such intense transformation and power!”
