Just as Malenia was truly about to pull out the Unalloyed Gold Needle, she heard a familiar voice.
"Goddamn magnetic field rotation, nine hundred and ninety thousand horsepower-Another-Dimensional Space Slash!"
Zhao Si's voice rang out from the flames.
He was spouting nonsense again, but hearing his nonsense immediately put Malenia at ease.
It was as though he had a loudspeaker installed. Even Helena and Melina on the distant cliff heard him perfectly clearly.
What a joke. Where would he get nine hundred and ninety thousand horsepower of magnetic force or an Another-Dimensional Space Slash?

Zhao Si spoke to Asimi in midair.
The space behind him churned, and ripples appeared.
Countless weapons emerged from within, all burning with Ghostflame.

There was no denying it: Asimi was afraid.
Zhao Si had beaten fear into him last
