After hearing the insults Fente, once her foster mother, had hurled at Oulin and the Auling Hunters, Oko offered no reply. Expressionless, she flicked her hair and cast away three shattered sword hilts.
With a wave of her hand, she summoned seven brand-new Round Sun Longswords, once again shifting into the armed stance of the "Fine-Hair Sword Body."
Fente curiously examined Oko's distinctive appearance, then continued in a delighted, admiring tone:
"Oh, using your hair to bind both your limbs and weapons, thereby enhancing your body's mobility?"
"I never imagined your hair could be used like this before. What an exquisite application of your ability~"
"Come to think of it, from my perspective, it's already been twenty years since Oulin abducted you back then."
"You know, you were clearly just a delicate, adorable little thing when you left. Yet now you've grown into such a graceful young woman—Mama is truly gratified!"
"Still, judging by that tender little face of yours, you can't be much older than twenty. So you only spent around ten years in the Holy Light Pure Land, right?"
Faced with Fente's animated stream of chatter, Oko remained silent, while a glacial gleam flashed through her fiery red eyes.
When she had launched her surprise attack on Fente earlier, Oko had done more than simply swing her sword at him. She had also secretly activated the relic effect of "Crimson Lotus Silk Feet," leaving behind a Scarlet Void Lotus no larger than half a palm.
And while Fente reminisced and prattled on at Oko, that tiny void lotus quietly drifted behind his feet.
Then, at a flicker of Oko's thoughts, the ribbons wound around her jade-white feet and the lotus that had silently approached Fente simultaneously unleashed a dazzling blaze of scarlet radiance.
Whoosh!
Oko's figure instantly vanished
