Chapter 579 The Former Scarlet Cherry and Her Supermodel
That demonic energy fluctuation was so intense, yet so pure.
Just standing there made it hard for Hiyori to breathe.
Above the ruins, the air seemed to freeze.
One of the figures was surrounded by tiny purple arcs of electricity, while the other emitted a scorching heat wave powerful enough to distort the air.
They stood there quietly, yet they brought an unprecedented sense of oppression to Hiiro.
This is an absolute suppression originating from the level of life itself.
Hiyori's body trembled instinctively.
She had no idea who these two women who had suddenly appeared were.
But the keen intuition for danger honed by years of struggling to survive in the wasteland was frantically sounding alarms in her mind.
This is the enemy.
It was a terrifying enemy that she could hardly defeat.
Almost instinctively, Fei Ying took a small step forward, completely shielding Tao Yao's figure behind her.
Her hand was already on the hilt of the knife at her waist.
Who are you?
Hiyori's voice sounded somewhat dry due to extreme vigilance.
"What do you want to do?"
However, her questioning did not receive any positive response.
The woman, whose body was wrapped in purple arcs of electricity and whose face was covered by a half-mask, simply shifted her emotionless gaze from Tao Yao to Fei Ying.
"Humans, get out of the way."
It was a flat tone, yet it carried an undeniable sense of command.
Hiiro didn't move.
She simply gripped the hilt of her knife tighter, her body tense, like a cheetah ready to pounce, staring intently at the two uninvited guests before her.
Just then.
A soft, somewhat helpless sigh came from behind.
"Scarlet Cherry Blossom".
Tao Yao's voice sounded softly behind her.
"They are all evil demons who came for me."
"Actually, you don't need to do this and put yourself in danger."
These words, spoken casually, made Fei Ying's heart sink.
Leprechaun?
Is it a legendary being, even more terrifying and mysterious than the Calamity Beast?
No wonder...
No wonder it brings such a terrifying sense of oppression.
but.
So what?
Hiiro did not turn around.
She spoke with unprecedented determination, word by word.
"I do not care."
"If they want to harm you."
"You have to get past me first."
These words were spoken with absolute certainty, without the slightest hesitation.
The air seemed to freeze completely at that moment.
The two fairies who were slowly approaching paused in unison.
For the first time, the figure shrouded in crimson armor seemed to be truly focusing its attention on the tiny human, Fei Ying.
And that purple figure wearing a mask,
Beneath the mask, a barely perceptible emotion called "confusion" was revealed.
A human being.
An ant so weak that they could easily crush it with the flick of their fingers.
Why go to such lengths to protect a fairy?
They couldn't understand.
As fairies, they have witnessed far too much ugliness and selfishness in humans.
Betrayal, suspicion, and ruthless pursuit of profit.
Such an act—knowing full well that certain death was imminent, yet still choosing to step forward and shield their companions—is extremely rare in their long lives.
Of course, it's puzzling.
Their goal, from beginning to end, has always been the same.
That is the origin.
They were all well aware of how terrifying the primordial fairies were.
Even though the primordial fairy may be in an unprecedentedly severe state of injury due to the twilight, it still dares not be careless in the slightest.
Moreover, they themselves paid a heavy price in the battle to besiege the Primordial One that night.
Even now, his injuries have not fully healed.
Therefore, they must be cautious.
After a brief pause, the two continued walking.
They ignored the minor incident involving the cherry blossoms and continued to move slowly towards Tao Yao, maintaining a highly oppressive pace.
As they drew closer, the suffocating surge of demonic energy grew stronger and stronger.
Purple arcs of electricity leaped across the steel bars of the ruins, emitting a soft hissing sound.
The scorching heat caused the sand and gravel on the ground to turn slightly reddish.
Hiyori felt like a small boat in a raging storm, at any moment she could be torn to pieces by this terrifying power.
Fine beads of cold sweat had already formed on her forehead.
"Ugh."
Another sigh came from behind.
Tao Yao's voice carried an obvious sense of helplessness.
"Ok."
"But you have to listen to me."
"They are fairies after all, and cannot be dealt with using common sense."
Hiyori didn't speak, but responded with a very slight nod.
next second.
A warm hand gently touched her back.
Tao Yao stood back to back with her.
"Listen up, Hiiro."
Tao Yao's voice rang in Fei Ying's ears at an extremely low frequency, which only the two of them could hear.
"They were all the first evil fairies."
"The one who plays with electricity wields the Flower of Thunder. The one who plays with fire wields the Flower of Flame."
"But you don't need to be afraid."
"Their injuries are quite severe; they are not as strong as they appear on the surface."
These words struck Hiyori like a thunderbolt.
The first generation of fairies.
Thunder Flower.
Flower of Flame.
These words only exist in rumors.
Yet, it appeared so real before her at that moment.
But more important is that last sentence.
They were seriously injured.
This intelligence is of paramount importance.
It instantly dispelled the despair in Sakura's heart caused by the vast difference in strength, replacing it with an extremely calm and thoughtful mindset befitting a top hunter.
Her brain was racing at that moment.
Analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of both sides, searching for that one in ten thousand possibility of breaking the deadlock.
The entire process lasted less than a second.
When the two fairies were less than twenty meters away from them, Sakura had already made her decision.
"Ah."
She responded softly.
"Tao Yao, take good care of yourself."
"If that doesn't work, just call me."
The moment the words fell.
The cherry blossoms moved.
She did not choose to passively stand still and wait for the other party to make a move.
Because she knew very well that once these two demons entered their most comfortable attack range, what terrifying demonic calamity awaited her and Tao Yao was unknown.
Therefore, we must take the initiative!
In an instant, she lowered her body and shot off like an arrow toward the purple figure on her left, which was crackling with lightning!
This action completely caught the two fairies off guard.
A look of astonishment appeared on their faces at the same time.
They considered many possibilities.
I never imagined that this human would break down because of fear.
I never imagined she would choose to give up in the face of such an overwhelming difference in strength.
But I never expected that.
This tiny human dared to launch an attack on them!
The fairy who wields the Thunder Flower, also known as the Thunder Queen, was the first to react.
Faced with the lightning-fast blade, a look of contempt and anger appeared on her face.
How dare a mere mortal raise a knife against her?
However, just as she was about to casually unleash a bolt of lightning to completely wipe out this ignorant ant.
The sharp blade of light, however, traced an eerie arc in mid-air and did not strike her body directly.
Instead, it slashed at her hand holding the knife handle from an extremely tricky angle.
This was not a desperate, all-out attack.
It was an extremely calm, probing attempt.
Faced with that cunning blade of light, the Thunder Queen didn't even have the thought of dodging.
Just a mortal.
How dare you stab yourself?
A look of almost indifferent contempt appeared on her face.
A mere mortal's sword dares to wound me?
She stood there, letting the Tang sword, gleaming with a cold light, strike solidly into the back of her hand that was gripping the hilt.
"Clang!"
A piercing clang of metal clashing suddenly rang out.
Fei Ying felt a tremendous force of recoil coming from the blade, which made her hands go numb and caused her to involuntarily slide back half a step.
She steadied herself and looked at the other person.
Not even a white mark was left on the back of the Thunder Queen's hand.
It's so hard.
Hiyori's heart sank instantly.
Although she didn't use her full strength, this attack was still far beyond what ordinary monsters could easily withstand.
But the fairy in front of them simply stood still and endured the blow with her bare body.
This is not even in the same league as the opponent.
Is it fair to say that this is a calamity caused by evil spirits?
This kind of purely physical defense is not something that can be easily broken.
If it were the mutated monsters she usually encountered, Sakura would say she wasn't afraid at all.
But the fairy in front of them was indeed far more powerful than they had imagined.
This feeling is like that of an ant and an elephant.
There is an absolute difference in species between the two.
This is not because the ants didn't try hard enough, but because the gap in the level of life is insurmountable.
Hiyori was well aware of this.
Therefore, from the very beginning, she never intended to fight with brute force.
but.
Facing an unknown yet powerful opponent, Sakura, who has survived and grown alone in this wasteland for a long time, naturally has her own unique set of coping mechanisms.
Since we can't break through the defenses...
Tao Yao's words flashed through her mind in an instant.
"Their injuries are all very serious."
Injuries.
Then there must be a flaw!
In an instant, Hiyori's thoughts became incredibly clear.
Her goal was not to defeat her opponent head-on, but to find that weakness and then exploit it!
The Thunder Queen seemed quite disdainful of Sakura's momentary pause.
