Black mist churned outside the wooden hut. Inside, Shangyue and Nita stood and sat respectively, both utterly motionless because Su Xiao was blocking the doorway.
Nita shifted her gaze toward Shangyue.

Silver liquid metal surged from Nita's ring. This was her weapon. It had no fixed form, but it could form most close-combat weapons.
Nita could not only imitate other people's appearances but also their abilities. Of course, there was a limit to the strength. For example, if her combat strength were capped at 200, then even if she imitated someone else's ability, her combat strength could not exceed 200.
