What was I doing? Why had I instinctively made such a move?
Then she looked at Xia Ji in the distance and found her staring back in stunned disbelief, even looking at her with a hint of fear again.
Could it be? Am I... really... a pervert??
Chapter 13: Want a Shot?
Just as Yae Sakura was wondering whether something was wrong with her, she suddenly spotted two fish that had slipped through the net. They had stealthily approached Xia Ji and were preparing to ambush her.
"Watch out!"
Yae Sakura immediately called out a warning.
Just as Yae Sakura was about to rush over, Xia Ji suddenly screamed. The SU-22 grenade launcher she had been struggling to carry on her shoulder fired a shell at the two monsters.
The two monsters were blasted more than ten meters away, while Xia Ji was knocked backward onto the ground by the grenade launcher's recoil.
The grenade launcher was tossed aside as well.
Yae Sakura hurried over to Xia Ji and helped her up.
"Are you all right?"
"I'm fine... It just hurts so much." Xia Ji looked at Yae Sakura pitifully. This thing's power was indeed formidable, but its recoil was also immense. This hadn't even been a charged attack—if it had been, Xia Ji simply wouldn't have been able to withstand it.
Even without charging it, Xia Ji felt as though her entire body had fallen apart.
"Rest for a while first!"
Yae Sakura helped Xia Ji sit down, then retrieved the grenade launcher lying nearby.
Although the SU-22 grenade launcher looked enormous, its recoil and weight had actually been greatly optimized. Otherwise, how could an ordinary human girl possibly carry something so heavy? Even if she could, its powerful recoil would cost her half her life.
"Mm." Xia Ji obediently sat on the ground, her face covered in dirt. She looked like a little beggar.
Only then did Yae Sakura turn and walk over to the monsters Xia Ji had blasted away.
As expected, the two monsters were not dead...
Although their arms and legs had been broken, monsters possessed incredibly powerful regeneration. It would not take long for them to recover. It was not as simple as using greater force to kill them; one needed the proper means to counter them.
Otherwise, even a nuclear weapon might not kill some monsters. They might even become stronger because of nuclear radiation or something similar.
Yae Sakura's spiritual power and sword aura were excellent at countering monsters.
After all, Yae Sakura... was a Miko!
The natural enemy of monsters and evil spirits!
"I want to ask you something. If you lie... you know the consequences."
Yae Sakura drew her Spirit Blade and pointed it at the two badly injured monsters before her.
"Y-yes..."
The two monsters were utterly terrified of Yae Sakura and Xia Ji, and hurriedly nodded.
