However, [Imagery Forgery] is very expensive!
In order to save money, Kaluo ultimately couldn't bring herself to do it.
She felt that using [Imagery Forgery] or something similar against a second-order Echoer like Bai Lili would be a waste.
But in the end, she lost because of her "reluctance to let go".
Filled with resentment, Kaluo's figure transformed into tiny particles of light, slowly dissipating on the arena.
Kaluo, out!
This unexpected ending left both the viewers in the drama and those watching from outside the drama in disbelief.
A moment of complete silence fell over the entire arena, which was then erupted into a storm of emotions!
Kalentia has suffered casualties!
The seemingly invincible Kalentia team, which brought a suffocating sense of oppression to the City of Kindling, has actually suffered casualties!
The Bai Lili, the eldest daughter of the Bai Family, a hothouse flower whom no one had ever thought highly of.
Although it relies on external forces, and although it depends on the Echo Scroll—
But it was she who accomplished all of this.
At this moment, the screen was almost completely filled with comments:
"Holy crap! Lili, is this the power of spending money?"
"Bai Lili, the warrior with the power of money!"
"The Echo of money! The strongest Echo!"
"Bai Lili, you're awesome!!!"
"I thought Prisoner Ji or Huomu would get the first blood on Kalentia, but I didn't expect it to be me, Lili!"
"I misjudged it..."
"Tell me, who would have thought?!"
Amidst the shock of the entire audience, the second battle began.
Wheel race.
Although Kalentia has lost one member, Bai Lili has used up all her scrolls and has already conceded defeat.
Therefore, it's still four against four on both sides.
The outcome is still uncertain!
Chapter 115 Run! Evolve! Another Round! (3-in-1)
In the second match, it was Kalentia's turn to go first.
On the large screen above the arena, the portraits of the four members of Kalentia flashed and rotated before finally freezing.
Short, light gray hair; pale-colored eyes; expressionless.
In this battle, the player chosen by Kalentia is—
Wuma Ling.
Huomu volunteered.
Having won against Lanma in the previous match, Huomu felt he was in top form and wanted to capitalize on this momentum to win another game.
But just as he was about to step onto the ring, it Setsuna darted past him, getting there first.
"Let me handle this one."
He turned around in Setsuna and smiled at everyone.
That smile was different from usual.
It felt like something had been waiting for a long time, and finally, it had arrived.
"That guy is my target."
"Huh? But..."
Huomu, however, still wanted to try his luck. He felt that Setsuna, who had already entered the third tier and awakened the Armament, was stronger than him, so it would be better for him to go first.
Even if they can't win, they can still help Setsuna get information.
Thinking of this, Huomu wanted to say something more, but was gently stopped by an outstretched hand.
Qiji gazed at Setsuna stepped onto the stage, he murmured:
Let's trust Setsuna -kun.
Qiji's words still carried weight; Huomu immediately shut up and obediently withdrew.
A barrier of light rose up on the arena.
Setsuna and Wuma Ling stood facing each other.
The battle begins.
Without any further ado, he Setsuna donned his Armament.
The girl's circuit construction speed was astonishing, almost on par with the elites of Kalentia.
A stream of light emanated from her body, rapidly tracing her slender figure.
She already had a pair of perfectly proportioned long legs, which appeared even more slender under the shimmering light.
The most important part of the entire armor set is almost entirely focused on the lower body.
Born for speed!
The streamlined armor plates extend downwards from the hips, closely conforming to the curves of the legs.
The hollowed-out design at the knee bend allows for maximum flexibility.
At the ankles are a pair of light, sleek boots with slightly upturned heels, as if they're always ready to take off.
The moment the entire Armament was completed, it emitted a clear, melodious sound, like a blade slicing through ice!
Lineage Investiture.
Armament Manifestation.
Imagery Armor.
—[Pursue Me]!
Setsuna was very clear about what she was facing, so from the very beginning she planned to give it her all.
However, Wuma Ling simply looked at her expressionlessly.
You've become amazing.
Words without emotional fluctuations, falling on Setsuna's ears, felt like a fine needle piercing a wound.
In that Setsuna, I realized that it wasn't a compliment, or at least it didn't sound like one.
Because Wuma Ling speaks in the exact same way as that person.
Therefore, no answer is needed.
Setsuna a flash, he launched the first attack.
Her lineage is [Flash Shadow] --
Ultimate speed, ultimate explosiveness!
His figure left a trail of afterimages on the arena, and his first strike was all-out.
However, Wuma Ling merely turned slightly to the side, and a pale golden circuit had unknowingly unfolded beneath her feet.
Third-order Echo, [Trajectory Prediction].
First-order Echo, [Earth Spike Thrust].
Second-order Echo, [Wind Bind].
Three distinct Echo were released in the same instant.
The Trajectory Prediction captured the landing point of her next step in Setsuna, and the ground spikes suddenly protruded from where she was about to land, while the Wind Bind wrapped around her ankles.
He was Setsuna pulled from the high speed and slammed onto the ring, sliding several meters.
Wuma Ling looked at her, her gaze calm and undisturbed.
This is the genealogy of Wuma Ling —
[Living Catalog].
Any Echo she reads, once mastered, is like a book added to the library, ready to be retrieved and used at any time.
Even more, there's no need to build a loop!
Her mother, Wuma Qin, was a genius professor known as the "Echo Library," who imparted all her knowledge to her.
Wuma Ling accepted everything without reservation and absorbed it all, making him his mother's most satisfying masterpiece!
As for Setsuna, who was also born into the Wuma family—
She was a failure.
For example, at this moment, facing Wuma Ling's all-around crushing attack, the Setsuna [Flash Shadow], despite its extremely fast speed, could only dodge and maneuver continuously.
Like a caged beast.
The way they struggled was extremely pathetic.
Outside the arena, the audience in City of Kindling, who were just moments before thrilled that Bai Lili had defeated Kaluo, fell silent.
Wuma Ling's suppressive power was terrifying and evident to all.
"So, I still can't do it..."
"I knew it when it was Setsuna stage. How could a pirated copy possibly beat the original?" someone who knew the secrets of the Wuma family sneered.
"Pirated or genuine? What do you mean?"
A curious spectator nearby, unaware of the situation, pressed for an explanation, which the man then offered:
"That girl named Setsuna, whose real name is Wuma Aya, is Professor Qin's daughter."
However, it turned out to be a false alarm.
There was a mistake at the hospital back then; Professor Qin's real daughter was the girl named Ling across the street.
She returned to the Wuma family at the age of ten and quickly displayed her talent.
The listener was stunned. "Huh? Shouldn't she be from our City of Kindling? How come she's siding with Kalentia?"
"Because Kalentia has better educational resources. I transferred there a few months ago."
"Holy crap! Isn't this a traitor?"
"It's not really that. Think about it, if she Kalentia, at least she can help us retain a seat. It's a roundabout way to achieve our goal."
"So, do the seats we secured still count as ours?!"
"It's better than nothing, isn't it?"
Some people agree, feeling that there is nothing wrong with doing so.
Some people also vehemently criticized the Wuma family, arguing that they had forgotten their roots and had betrayed the country.
The noise was deafening; neither could outdo the other.
