A sword aura appeared out of thin air and swiftly slashed towards the opponent.
In a mere instant, [ Night Kill ]'s head was easily severed and flew high into the air.
Then his body collapsed to the ground with a thud, and he lost his Life.
Upon seeing this, Hela turned to look at the mysterious man.
This was a young man who looked to be in his early twenties, with a light shining in his eyes, completely different from Hela, whose eyes were lifeless and who looked like she was about to die.
Try to sense his level of understanding.
' Transcendent ' is similar to myself.
The mysterious man slowly lowered his hand and turned to look at Hela.
"Miss, are you alright?"
Hela shook her head blankly. "No."
The mysterious man breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good."
"Brother! Are you alright?!"
Just then, a girl who looked pure and lovely ran towards them, waving her hand and shouting.
Seeing the blood-splattered Night Kill on the ground, she took two steps back in fright, went around it, and ran to the mysterious man.
He touched him with concern, "Brother, you're not hurt, are you? Why were you running so fast!"
The girl pouted, somewhat resentful of the mysterious man.
"Uh, haha... I was worried because some Variant was trying to harm people."
The mysterious man scratched his head and chuckled awkwardly, while glancing at Hela.
The girl then noticed Hela was also there.
But the moment she saw Hela's stunning beauty, her body trembled violently. She took two steps back, holding the mysterious man's hand, and looked at Hela warily, a hint of jealousy flashing in her eyes.
Hela:? Did she discover my Variant identity? That shouldn't be the case. Humans shouldn't have the ability to sense Variant, especially since I'm wearing the bracelet.
The mysterious man understood why the girl had done this, and, with a mixture of amusement and exasperation, withdrew his hand.
" Ailin, that's way too much."
When the man withdrew his hand, the girl Ailin Eileen crossed her arms, snorted, and turned her head away, puffing out her cheeks.
The man smiled helplessly, looked at Hela, and began to introduce himself.
"I'm sorry you had to see this. My name is Fulan Bulang, you can just call me Fulan."
Then her name is Ailin. We're not locals; we're traveling the world together, doing good deeds and upholding justice.
He's a bit like a chivalrous knight-errant from the novel Great Xia Dynasty*.
Fulan pointed to the girl beside him, and Hela also began to observe her closely.
His realm was also " Transcendent," but slightly lower than Fulan and Hela's, as if he had just reached it.
With his jet-black hair, he didn't look like a typical European or American.
Feeling a little uneasy under Hela's constant stare, Ailin took two steps closer to Fulan.
Fulan gave an awkward laugh upon seeing this, "Excuse me, miss, what's your name?"
"Hmm?" Hela only then realized her lapse in composure, but still managed to speak slowly without blushing or skipping a beat.
"My name is Hela, and I'm an ability user. My special ability is..."
Hela thought for a moment, "[ Bones ], realm ' Transcendent '."
It's clearly impossible to continue claiming that they are a " Symbiote " and that their symbiotic partner is " HeLa Cell."
After considering his own abilities, he finally decided to lie and say that he was as capable as Ye Ciqing.
Anyway, his abilities are somewhat similar to hers, so at worst, she can just change her bones and not her flesh.
Upon hearing that Hela was a power user, the two were first surprised, then overjoyed.
"What a coincidence that you're also an ability user! We are too!"
Fulan was somewhat excited and began to introduce his and Ailin's abilities.
"My ability is called [ Soundless Sword Qi ]. Simply put, it's the ability to create sword aura attacks."
Ailin's ability is called [ Four-Leaf Clover ]. Well, how should I put it? It doesn't have any actual combat ability; it just makes her very lucky.
Upon hearing this, Ailin lowered her head silently, her face slightly flushed, as if she were a little embarrassed. She gently nudged Fulan with her elbow.
Fulan smiled and continued, "We're both at the ' Transcendent ' level, and this happened right after we arrived in this city."
Most people in the city have fainted, and for some reason, many Variant have been blown over by some odd winds.
"We two are currently protecting the residents here. Miss Hela, your cultivation level is the same as ours. Could you please help us?"
Fulan looked at Hela with utmost sincerity in his eyes, Ailin also looked at Hela with bright, expectant eyes.
Hela blinked her big, pink eyes. "Okay."
The reason I agreed is that there are still too many unknowns in this city, and having more resources reduces the chances of being harmed.
Ah, you ask why not cooperate with the Variant? That's hilarious. Humans have brains, but do Variant have them? The vast majority certainly don't.
After exploring the entire city and eliminating all the Variant within, the two men were undoubtedly exhausted.
Hela will then reap a huge harvest from them! Hela has never actually eaten anyone at the ' Transcendent ' level before.
Seeing that Hela agreed, the two laughed happily.
"Thank you! Although what we're doing is a bit of a moral blackmail, if you want to quit or take a break halfway through, that's perfectly fine!"
Ailin smiled like a little girl, which made Hela a little dazed.
Her smile is like Xing Lan...
Fulan carried a person who had fainted on his shoulder.
"Let's gather the people who have fainted on the roadside to a safe place first."
After all, passing through the clouds, and given the already low temperature and oxygen levels at this altitude, leaving them unattended would be Life- threatening.
Ailin also carried a passerby, but then she saw a strange, golden insect lying on the ground, as if it were carved from gold, lying there as if it were dead.
"Hey, what's this?"
Although Ailin is a girl, she is not afraid of insects. She picked up the strange golden insect and examined it carefully.
"I'm dead, I'm dead, don't find me, don't find me, don't find me!" Xiao Huan prayed frantically in her heart.
These two are both ' Transcendent '! They're beings who could kill themselves with a single slap.
At the same time, he quickly used telepathy to call for help from Hela.
"Boss, please save me!"
Hela stepped forward and extended her hand to her.
"This is my pet. I usually like to keep some weird little insects as pets, but it died when we passed through the clouds just now. Can I have it?"
Hela's eyes lowered slightly, her voice somewhat low.
Hearing this, Ailin felt some sympathy for Hela and carefully handed her the insect.
"Don't be sad, let's save everyone. I can help you bury it, or you can make it into a specimen if you want."
Hela nodded slightly and thanked her, "Thank you."
