Cutting Magic

Bruce's eyes widened when his embarrassing past was brought up to his face, Molly blushed, and Xinyan still watched Li Yan and the Little Fool warily. These reasons were not enough to make her lower her guard.

"Sizzle..."

In the dim environment, a green gas sprayed out, followed by the sound of several vines stabbing. Without time to pay attention to Li Yan and the two Little Fool, Xinyan gripped his greatsword and blocked Bruce and Molly.

"If you two mean no harm, then let's work together to deal with the Ghostface Flower!"

Li Yan glanced at the Little Fool, Little Fool also looked up at Li Yan. They were just moviegoers, and being discovered by Ghostface Flower was unavoidable; helping them was not something they were considering.

"Well, I'll block the vines over here for you."

Li Yan stared at the vines that were suddenly thrusting towards him, a hint of excitement flashing across his face. He had already figured out a good place to sneak away and watch the movie.

"Furious Flame Winds!"

Bruce raised his arm and held his staff high, and bursting flames gathered around it. Guided by the staff, the flames rushed straight towards the vines.

The blazing flames burned the vines, and the fierce winds mercilessly tore them apart. The entire Underground Labyrinth was ablaze with fire. Molly held her breath; she had already sensed something was wrong with the green gas.

"Bruce, your fiery winds are blowing those gases everywhere; those are paralyzing gases."

Molly couldn't help but voice her reproach.

"Bruce, you unreliable bastard."

Xinyan cursed out loud. Having just added strength and speed boosts, she felt a numbness in her body, and her stamina was constantly decreasing.

"Um... well, good luck to you guys."

Li Yan raised his arm and waved to Xinyan and his group. His body was mercilessly restrained and suspended by vines, and the bewildered Little Fool was also tightly bound by them.

Are you two dragging us down?

The irritable Xinyan could no longer bear it. He completely abandoned his last suspicions and wariness towards the two outsiders who had already been restrained. The adventurers bound by the Ghostface Flower had almost zero chance of survival unless they received help from outside forces.

"Healing Wind!"

Molly held the Holy Scripture in one hand, removing the negative paralysis effect from Xinyan, while Bruce innocently gripped his staff, casting Shield spell to block the vine attacks from the Ghostface Flower.

"Honestly, Bruce and you two who suddenly appeared are really annoying!"

As the Healing Wind restored and purified him, Xinyan felt the paralysis effect on his body disappear, and the sense of power within his body slowly increased, with the amplification of strength and speed returning.

"Explosive Slash!"

In a fit of rage, Xinyan raised his greatsword and furiously slashed at the attacking vines around him. Wherever the greatsword struck, the vines were torn to pieces. Bruce timely used Fire Magic to burn the thorny vines around him, eliminating the threat to Xinyan from the other side.

"It seems everything is going smoothly, but they underestimated the Ghostface Flower."

Li Yan, who was hanging up, commented that this team of adventurers was quite strong and their teamwork was indeed excellent. However, they seemed to have forgotten that the vines of the Ghostface Flower could also emerge from the ground.

"Hey! Xinyan, help!"

Protected in the middle of the group, Molly's ankles were restrained by the vines beneath her feet, and the Holy Scripture was mercilessly whipped away. The thorny vines tore a few pieces of fabric from the nun's dress, and the glimpses of pure white made Li Yan, who was watching the show, take a few more glances.

"Molly!"

Xin Yan shouted as she frantically cleared away the Xinyan in front of her. In her anxiety, she ignored the vines attacking from the front and directly swung her greatsword to slash at the vines binding Molly.

Something feels off.

Li Yan blinked involuntarily.

"What's wrong, young master?"

The Little Fool tied to Li Yan's side asked a question at the opportune moment.

"The scene before me felt like a cute girl being attacked, and the handsome male lead who had fallen for her was anxiously trying to rescue her."

Looking at Xinyan's anxious expression, Li Yan inexplicably had some guesses in her heart. Love is not limited to men and women; sometimes it can also be between men and women. After all, there were cases in her previous life where boys married virtual characters.

The greatsword slammed down on the vines binding Molly, shattering them with a crash. Molly plummeted from the sky, but Xinyan swiftly reached out and rescued her in a princess carry.

"Xinyan ~ Thank you~"

"Molly ~ You're welcome. No matter what, I'll always be there for you, protecting you and cherishing you."

In that touching moment, Ghostface Flower used its vines to lash out at Xinyan's greatsword. The two women, now unarmed, were unable to resist and were completely bound by the vines.

"Xinyan! Molly! Are you two reliable?"

Bruce was pale and panting, a look of helplessness on his face. He had no Mana left. He had thought he could easily deal with the vines and then attack the roots of the Ghostface Flower, but... after two and a half minutes of fighting, it ended in complete failure.

"Molly, we can only watch the sunset together in our next life."

Xinyan gazed at Molly with tenderness.

"Xinyan, let's watch the sunrise together again in our next life."

Molly, like a mimosa, blushed and whispered.

"The Joker is myself..."

As Bruce gazed at the two women gazing at him with affection, his fantasies of finding love during his travels and building a harem were shattered.

"As expected... the teacher was right. Women can only affect the speed at which I cast spells; my true wife is only the staff in my hand."

Bruce lowered his head in dejection, mercilessly hoisted up by the vines of the Ghostface Flower. He never expected that in his final moments, he would witness a couple of lovers displaying their affection.

"What a disappointment! The last step led to a complete loss."

The vines binding Li Yan burst open instantly—it was the instantaneous release of Cutting Magic. Unlike ordinary Cutting Magic, this was Mana- enhanced version, typically used to cut through Mana Battle Car.
