Fione: What Was All That Gibberish? Take This Ten Thousand Deaths, Renewed Radiance!
"It looks like a person?"
Before Huo Yutong could finish speaking, she felt a wave of heat crashing down on her.
"Hey! This isn't right!"
Wang Dong'er's heart skipped a beat. The other party's aggressive manner didn't seem to indicate any goodwill.
Huo Yutong and the other woman exchanged a glance and took a few steps back in unison, clearly aware of their own position.
The opponent's aura was clearly beyond their ability to handle, so they instinctively shielded Fione in front of them.
"What a strange flame."
Fione raised the scissors, flames engulfing them.
"Ten Thousand Deaths, Renewed Radiance, miniature version."
Flames surged, forming a forty-meter-long sword. With her swing, even the Sea God Lake emitted a deafening roar.
As for the person from earlier, they've already fallen into a peaceful sleep.
He was defeated in one move; what more is there to say?
"Fione, you're amazing!"
Wang Dong'er immediately took on the role of cheerleader, praising Fione so much that she was a little embarrassed.
"Yutong, pull her up here so we can take a look."
Huo Yutong nodded and easily pulled Ma Xiaotao out of the lake.
With the substantial enhancement from the Heavenly Ring, she is now able to control objects.
In short, she can Mental Object Manipulation to brush her teeth. Sometimes, when she's still half asleep in the morning, she can even control the toothbrush to brush her own teeth, which is super convenient.
Ma Xiaotao, who had just been pulled from the water, was unconscious. There was a very obvious and deep wound from her shoulder to her lower back, which was from the scissors that Fione had swung down earlier.
"The flames on this person's body are so mottled."
Fione could even sense the evil hidden within the flames, but it was nothing special, not even as corrosive as the Hollow of the bell.
"What are you two thinking? Should I kill her?"
As Fione spoke, she moved the scissors to Ma Xiaotao's neck.
Huo Yutong: "ゞ◎Д◎ヾ"
Wang Dong'er: "ゞ◎Д◎ヾ"
How did it suddenly fast-forward to the murder scene? And, Fione, don't you find it a little scary that you said these words in such a gentle and calm tone?
Actually, this is normal. Don't forget, Zenless Zone Zero is set in a post-apocalyptic world. Can those who can survive in that world be soft-hearted?
Before Huo Yutong could make a move, a burst of Lie Yan shot straight at the two of them.
Without the slightest hesitation, Fione quickly pulled the two back dozens of meters, one in each arm.
"Boom!"
"What's wrong now? Why am I having such a bad day!"
Wang Dong'er shook her head, which was still a little dizzy from the shock. Before she could come to her senses, she felt warm liquid dripping onto her face.
"Sister Fione! You're hurt!"
Huo Yutong exclaimed in surprise, her anger surging to its peak.
Upon hearing Huo Yutong's exclamation, Wang Dong'er also noticed Fione's wound. It was a five-centimeter-long gash on her shoulder, with a few drops of blood seeping out.
Wang Dong'er's Martial Soul was also released, and the hammer in his right hand appeared in reality.
On the other side, Yan Shaozhe first gave Ma Xiaotao a healing pill, and the anger in his eyes was clearly visible.
"Who are you people? How dare you injure my disciple?"
"Pah! It was clearly your disciple who almost hurt us! And now you're trying to frame us first? Have you no shame?!"
Wang Dong'er isn't going to tolerate this; she immediately starts a group fight.
"Teacher, it was clearly this senior who attacked us first, and that's why Sister Fione intervened. Instead of apologizing, you attacked us. Are the inner court teachers unreasonable?"
Yan Shaozhe snorted coldly.
"If my disciple had injured you, I would have naturally compensated you. But now, you have injured my disciple. If you don't give me an explanation, I can simply expel you."
Yan Shaozhe looked at Huo Yutong and the other person, who were dressed in the clothes of outer courtyard disciples, and his words even carried a threat.
"You!"
Huo Yutong and her companion's faces flushed slightly. They had never seen such a shameless person in their lives! What compensation for their injuries? Given the situation just now, they were doubtful whether they'd even have any ashes left. What good would compensation be then? Were they supposed to be burned to ashes?
Stop wasting your breath on them.
Fione picked up her scissors.
Since reasoning won't work, this young lady also knows a little bit of martial arts.
"Oh? Instead of apologizing, you're showing off your Martial Soul to me? Well then, I'll have to teach you what it means to respect the strong on behalf of your elders."
Nine Soul Ring appeared: two yellow, two purple, and five black.
Yan Shaozhe was even prepared to hear the other party beg for mercy, and was just about to say something when two scarlet Soul Ring fell down.
Four black, two red.
Yan Shaozhe stopped chuckling. A fifth Sixth Soul Ring after 100,000 years?
What kind of Soul Ring Configuration is this?!
Fione didn't want to hear any more from the other person.
"First Soul Skill, Burning Ashes Horizontal Severance."
The scissors in his hand unleashed a blazing slash.
Yan Shaozhe anything more.
"!!!"
Yan Shaozhe quickly used his Second Soul Skill, Blazing Fire Body Protection, to create a protective barrier for himself.
Unfortunately, he greatly underestimated Fione.
When the slash landed on him, it immediately inflicted three layers of "Searing Corrosion" status, each layer increasing the critical hit chance by 8%. At the same time, it also inflicted three layers of "Corrosion Marks," each layer reducing all defense by 8%.
Because he was currently in a shielded state, he was dealt an additional 20% armor penetration damage.
This is the major buff Fione received.
Although this move was blocked, but... what happened next? In the game, her "Searing Corrosion" has a limit on the number of layers, but in reality, her "Searing Corrosion" can be stacked up to the number of layers of her level, which is 62 layers.
The scissors in his hand split in two.
"Burning Sin."
Amidst raging flames, she sped towards Yan Shaozhe, the six fiery wings behind her making her no slower than Yan Shaozhe, a Titled Douluo.
Sixth Soul Skill! Sacred Fire Scorches the Plains!
For some reason, his sixth sense told him that he absolutely could not let the other party get close, otherwise, problems would definitely arise.
Facing the raging Lie Yan, Fione chuckled softly, and her Second Soul Ring flashed.
"Severed Hinge Assault."
In a flash, she was already behind Yan Shaozhe.
"Blazing Flame Verdict!"
He had no choice but to grit his teeth and charge forward, brandishing his Lie Yan longsword.
Suddenly, the sounds of the two colliding and exploding echoed in the sky.
Fione had finally managed to get close, so how could she possibly give the other person a chance to create distance?
As the number of exchanges increases, "Searing Corrosion" and "Corrosion Marks" also accumulate rapidly.
She knew that her initial strength wasn't great, so from the very beginning, she focused on trading blows to stack buffs.
Yan Shaozhe also noticed something was wrong; the opponent's attacks were getting heavier and heavier—no! It was that strange flame! This thing was corroding his body!
Moreover, as the number of exchanges increased, this erosion continued to accumulate. At first, the opponent couldn't even break through her defense, but she stubbornly risked her life to inflict damage and stack buffs on herself.
Now, he doesn't even dare to take a hit. He has no doubt that, in his current state, the other party could easily turn him into 2.5 times his current strength.
What the hell is this martial Martial Soul?! How can its attacks be so malevolent?!
If you can't attack from a distance, and the opponent is already close, wouldn't using a ranged attack just give them an opportunity to strike?
I can't win in close combat! The opponent's attacks are too dense and too difficult to defend against.
Soul Master in the Douluo Continent are like those in a turn-based game, where they unleash Soul Skill skills whenever they have the chance.
Facing someone Fione, whose close-combat skills are exceptional, one is bound to suffer a great loss.
"Falling Sun."
The weapon, a circular blade, spun as it aimed at his neck.
If it hits, his head can be ripped off.
"Seventh Soul Skill! Martial Soul Avatar!"
Faced with a deadly threat, Yan Shaozhe completely abandoned any semblance of dignity he had left.
A magnificent, Bright Phoenix cried out loudly.
"Eighth Soul Skill! Embers Envelop the Body!"
After being engulfed in flames, it swooped down towards Fione.
Under the threat of death, he finally decided to kill.
The other party is too extraordinary. If they hold a grudge against me, I don't even want to think about what the future will hold.
Therefore, you have already chosen a path to death!
