The Girl Who Died of Embarrassment
Su Ming had been watching Yise closely. Upon noticing something amiss, he immediately swung his whip, pulling the girl back to the ground. He swiftly grabbed Yise's hands, twisted them behind her back, and fastened the metal rings on her wrists.
As the runes flashed, Yise's Magic Power was sealed—this was a prison bracelet that Newman had hastily made, specifically for dealing with this situation.
When Yise opened his eyes again, his once clear eyes had become cloudy, and his gaze revealed the same sinister look as Abigai's.
Abigai in the sky revealed the same sinister smile. There are always people with this naive idea, trying to bind the targets she controls. So as the manipulator, her forte is breaking these kinds of bonds!
Abigai raised her hand, and Magic Power flowed down the puppet threads, instantly casting a disintegration spell on the bracelet.
Although Yise's Magic Power was sealed, her own was not!
The first layer of runes on the bracelet crumbled, but the core function continued to operate. Abigai didn't care and continued casting spells—this operation was all too familiar to her; she was practically an expert at deciphering alchemical artifacts.
The second layer of runes on the bracelet resisted stubbornly for two seconds before being broken, followed by a third layer. This made Abigai slightly take notice—the maker was quite skilled!
Su Ming sensed something was wrong and immediately cast a binding spell to entangle Yise. However, as Newman's hastily made bracelet failed, Yise immediately erupted with intense light-based battle Dou Qi, breaking free of the spell, and the metal bracelet, now devoid of rune enhancement, shattered.
The next moment, Su Ming was hit hard in the abdomen and fell backward. Yise's attack was ruthless and merciless, and he was obviously completely controlled by Abigai.
The wounded Silver Mask was crawling out of the snow pit, his leather armor tattered and mangled. He grabbed Fenrir's Whiskers...
Even with her hands bleeding profusely from the surging Magic Power, she stubbornly continued to interfere with Abigai's attempt to break free of her restraints.
Without hesitation, the manipulated Yise charged toward him.
Abigai's intention was very clear: by eliminating Silver Mask, the manipulator of the chains, she could quickly break free of these damned chains and regain her freedom!

Su Ming was struck by Yise's punch, and his body slid across the snow, leaving two deep furrows. He endured the excruciating pain in his abdomen, quickly regained his balance, and lashed out with his Thorn Long Whip, tightly wrapping it around Yise's body and binding her firmly.
"Don't go anywhere!" Su Ming grabbed Yise.
However, Yise was too strong. Abigai manipulated the girl and with a forceful struggle, pulled Su Ming to the ground.
A halo of interwoven green and gold suddenly appeared beneath Su Ming's feet, and on the hillside not far behind him, Qiluo's long horns were glowing.
"Moon's Offering!"
[Sorry, the moon hasn't risen yet, this is all I can do.] the unicorn messaged.
That's enough!
Taking advantage of the momentum, Su Ming sprang up, gripping the long whip tightly with both hands. His Magic Power flowed along the whip, forcefully suppressing Yise's strength. Yise, who had just started running wildly, was pulled to a stop and then dragged back step by step.
Abigai, in the air, saw that Su Ming was still in the way and wanted to control him again, but found that the cocoon of light on his body had disappeared— Su Ming had activated "Double Ring Transposition" before he came, returning the puppet silk cocoon to the scholar.
At this moment, Zijin was in a state of mental confusion. Binding her consciousness would actually reduce the damage caused by the fluctuations. Su Ming had a feeling of putting an Elizabethan collar on a cat.
The mental strength of these two people is so similar! Abigai was furious. They exchanged negative status effects as if it were child's play, it was practically cheating!
Abigai had no choice but to take matters into his own hands again, unleashing a wind spell at Silver Mask. The latter was heavily knocked down, his ribs breaking, but he still clung tightly to "Fenrir's Whiskers," refusing to let go even as the chains dug into his flesh.
Out of the corner of his eye, Abigai also noticed that the annoying pink-haired healer, and that handsome—no, that greasy middle-aged paladin—had also crawled out of the snow.
This is never going to end!
Abigai felt a sharp pain in her chest, and with each breath, moisture was being carried away from her alveoli. Her nasal cavity was also bleeding profusely, due to extensive damage to the mucous membranes caused by dryness.
The dispelling effect of the Withering Water Caltrop Spell is only halfway complete!
****
Abigai's pale eyes were bloodshot. She suddenly noticed the Mithril Wing Armor on Yise's body and quickly deciphered it. This kind of general equipment was equipped with specific spells, which she recognized with little effort. She activated the runes on the wing armor, and silver light began to flow across the surface of the armor.
Su Ming's heart tightened. He had witnessed the power of the Mithril Wing Armor firsthand in the battle just now. If the controlled Yise were to break free, the situation would spiral out of control!
Abigai doesn't need to care about the lives of those she's manipulating, yet they're all tied down!
Su Ming made a decisive move, and pale energy condensed in his hand!
"Deathly Word, Wondrous Item Disjunction!"
Dark energy surged along the Thorn Long Whip, rushing towards Yise's Mithril Wing Armor like a tidal wave. The meticulously engraved runes twisted and crumbled under the erosion of the gray light. Brilliant colors exploded on Yise's body, like fireworks bursting in a festival.
The cloak and Mithril Wing Armor on Yise turned into tiny specks of light, scattering in the cold wind.
As the light faded, a small monster Doll with a green back and white belly appeared within the bindings of Su Ming's whip.
Su Ming blinked, and then realized that it wasn't Doll at all—under Yise's armor, he was actually wearing an adorable baby pajama! Two rows of white blunt triangles were sewn on the chest, simulating monster teeth, below which were two furry paw patterns, and a fluffy tail was attached to the back of his buttocks, swaying from side to side with his struggling movements.
When she realized what she looked like, she suddenly froze!
On a small hilltop atop the distant Him Cavern, the entire Adjudicator Squad stood in a row, their eyes fixed intently on the battle unfolding before them. Several captured Bearfolk Clan were also held captive beside them.
"Miss Yise, you have such an adorable side!" Zephlin exclaimed, nearly dropping the cigarette in his hand—a trophy Rupert had somehow found.
The outcome of this battle determined the fate of these people. Victory meant celebration, defeat meant drowning—oh, burial.
But seeing this scene is definitely worth it!
On the other side, Qiluo's mouth gaped open in an "O" shape, "This seems even more shameful than not wearing anything at all—"
A whole new world is beckoning to unicorns!
But she couldn't forget her primary duty. She channeled even more Magic Power into Su Ming, "[Hey, hey, give it your all, take off that Doll costume too!]"

In this eerie atmosphere, Abigai was horrified to discover that Yise's consciousness, which had been firmly bound by the silk cocoon, suddenly erupted with an incomprehensible and stubborn power.
Those once invincible, resilient silk threads were now being torn apart by Yise like a fragile spider web.
Abigai's head throbbed with excruciating pain, as if she had been struck by a heavy hammer. This backlash was unlike anything she had ever experienced before. She hastily withdrew the puppet silk and relinquished her control over Yise.
With tears in her eyes, Isher, now free, glared at Su Ming with a mixture of shame and anger. Then, like an enraged lioness, she pounced on Abigail. Su Ming felt a chill in his heart, withdrew his whip, and also rose up and pounced on Abigail.
If you hit her, you can't hit me!
On the ground, Silver Mask, Jielusi, and Ge'enda'er looked at each other, their bodies contorted like wolves. Silver Mask's hands were so tightly bound by chains that the White Bone was exposed; Jielusi- white robes were torn and stained with mud and blood; the holy light emanating from the paladin had dimmed considerably.
The three exchanged a knowing glance, and Jielusi and Ge'enda'er immediately stood up and pounced on Abigai.
"No, someone come and help me pull the chains!" Silver Mask shouted anxiously, his voice drifting helplessly in the wind.
****
In mid-air, Su Ming's whip wrapped around Abigai's body.
With the pressure on his hands greatly reduced, Silver Mask felt a surge of emotion. This was a truly reliable comrade-in-arms!
Su Ming was unaware of Silver Mask's thoughts. He conjured Wondrous Item Disjunction, but suddenly realized that Abigai was still connected to "Fenrir's Whiskers".
It wouldn't matter if the sacred object exploded, but Su Ming realized that losing Abigai's spoils would be a huge loss!
Su Ming quickly changed his spell:
"Deathly Word - Arcane Collapse!"
With the added Magic Power of the unicorn, Abigai, already at her limit, was completely unable to resist. Her defensive spells were stripped away layer by layer, and all kinds of barriers and spells collapsed like a kaleidoscope.
This once formidable Saint Rank expert, after suffering repeated heavy blows and being severely dehydrated by the continuous erosion of the "Horrid Withering Water Caltrop Spell," has finally reached the point of exhaustion.
She managed to raise her arm a few token resistances, but under the relentless onslaught, she lost her strength, and the cloudy light in her eyes went out like a candle flickering in the wind.
As Yise delivered his final, furious punch, Abigai's body went limp, and his life force vanished completely.
This Saint Rank expert, who once struck fear into the hearts of countless people, perished in this icy and snowy land.
A deafening cheer erupted on the battlefield, and everyone was immersed in the joy of victory—except for Yise.
With Jielusi speed, Gerald pulled off Silver Mask's tattered cloak and hurriedly draped it over Yise, then expertly began the work of calming him down.
After snapping a few photos, Su Ming calmly put his phone back into his tactical vest, then turned and ran.
On the hillside, he picked up the newly awakened Zijin and continued away from this place of trouble.
"Why are you running?" Zijin asked groggily, her voice still weak. "We clearly won, so why are you running away like this?"
Su Ming lowered his voice and asked, "Do you want to perform the Divine Favor: Soul Devouring' act in front of everyone?"
Zijin suddenly realized, then revealed a mischievous smile, "So, you're afraid of being seen molesting Abigai's corpse?"
Su Ming knelt down, "Don't mention such terrifying things!"
If that were to happen, it's uncertain whether he or Yise would be more despicable!
