Outside the forest, beside a small stream.
A handso young man with green hair, wearing a green windbreaker, opened his eyes.
"To actually detect the severed boundary, that’s so terrifying perception force."
Lubbock began retracting the threads, and after pulling back the knife-scarred Leone, Lubbock was filled with rage.
"That bastard!"
Seeing Leone was already bare-chested, Lubbock hurriedly took off his windbreaker. Although he usually seed lecherous, he wouldn’t take advantage of Leone at such a ti.
"This amount of bleeding is not good."
Lubbock, not knowing any dical skills, was very anxious, but could do nothing about it.
"It’s... it’s okay."
Leone woke up; the recovery power of the Lion King is no joke.
"Big sis Leone, you..."
Seeing the anxious Lubbock, Leone, her face covered in blood, smiled.
"Surviving with just a lost arm under that man’s blade is already luck."
Leone raised her severed arm, now only a small stump was left.
"How could I forget such an important thing; we are the ’survive great calamity to extend life’ team."
Lubbock picked up the severed arm beside him, which he retrieved using threads. With Cross Tail being able to control the threads to suture the severed arm, coupled with Leone’s recovery ability, they were the perfect combination. Injuries like severed arms and legs could fully recover.
"No wonder you’re my good partner."
Leone’s smile was sowhat forced as she recalled the earlier battle where she was like a brainless beast, completely powerless under that sharp blade.
After helping Leone suture the severed arm, Lubbock stood up.
"Big sis, you rest for a while first. That bastard injured you so badly, I must go et him no matter what."
The smile on Lubbock’s face was to comfort Leone, but deep in his heart, he was already seething with anger.
But Lubbock didn’t even make it two steps before feeling his pants leg being grabbed.
"Big sis..."
"Don’t go, you’ll die. No matter how badly I’m injured, it doesn’t matter. I’m begging you, as big sis, don’t go, please don’t go.
That man tracked for over a hundred kiloters. No matter how I ran, I couldn’t escape. Once locked on, it was complete despair."
Lubbock’s head hung low.
"But..."
"Unless we attack with the whole team, it’s impossible to win without paying the price of casualties."
Leone desperately held onto Lubbock’s pants leg.
"I understand."
Lubbock, though unwilling in his heart, couldn’t leave after Leone’s pleading.
"Where’s Red Eye? Wasn’t she tead with you?"
"After detecting your appeal for help signal, we split up. She went to support Brand, as there was an encounter with Esdeath’s Three Beast Soldiers."
"Is that so? Then I’m relieved..."
Leone suddenly rembered sothing and, holding back severe pain, sat up.
"I encountered that man while searching for Esdeath. That man talked to Esdeath previously, indicating there’s a connection between him and Esdeath.
The Three Beast Soldiers are Esdeath’s subordinates, so this operation was directed by Esdeath."
Leone quickly pondered, but soone thought even faster than her.
"Is that guy a subordinate of Esdeath? If all this was directed by Esdeath, would he go to support the luxury cruise ship side?
It’s not just possible, it’s certain!"
Lubbock and Leone exchanged a glance.
"How many of our people are at the luxury cruise ship at Imperial Harbor?"
Leone looked at Lubbock.
"There’s Brand, Tazmi, Red Eye, and Mine."
"Mine is also there?"
"Yes, the boss was a bit uneasy, so additional people were dispatched."
"With Mine’s long-range fire support, it should be fine..."
Leone was still a bit uneasy and wanted to stand up.
"Hey, hey, big sis, don’t do anything rash. It’s not too far from headquarters here, I’ll send you back first and then go support."
Lubbock made a gesture to stop, but Leone pushed him aside.
"Don’t let be a burden. I clearly understand my current physical state. Support is completely impossible. Going would only be a hindrance. You go support imdiately; I can return to headquarters on my own."
After thinking for a few seconds, Lubbock nodded, as further insistence would insult Leone.
"I understand. Here’s a distress signal; if retreat doesn’t go smoothly, definitely appeal for help.
"Okay, I won’t force it to the end."
Lubbock left after looking back three tis. After he left, Leone plopped to the ground.
With a gasp, Leone spat out a large mouthful of blood.
She raised her trembling hand and saw a light blue arc flickering within the wound in her palm.
"What is this weird thing, electricity?"
The intense pain radiating throughout her body almost made Leone faint again. Using her hand like a claw, she climbed up a towering tree and lay on the trunk, breathing heavily.
The energy of Blue Steel Shadow is no joke. If Leone dared to disengage from the Lion King state, it would definitely feel so ’wonderful’ she’d question life.
...
Outside the Imperial Capital harbor, a giant luxury cruise ship gradually approached the shore.
The luxury cruise ship was already in disarray; the corpses of the Three Beast Soldiers were lined up together, and Tazmi was supporting the heavily injured Brand.
"Finally docked. Luckily, we had Mine’s support, otherwise it would have been dangerous."
Brand sighed in relief after surviving the ordeal. This person, who was already dead in the original, survived this battle due to teammates’ fire support.
Mine was a lively girl with pink twin-tails, dressed in a conspicuous pink dress.
From her attire, it was clear Mine was not for close combat; she was a sniper cannoneer.
That’s right, a sniper cannoneer; her Imperial tool is sowhat special.
Pumpkin Romantic Artillery, a gun-type Imperial tool that doesn’t shoot physical bullets but converts spiritual energy into impact. Calling it impact isn’t quite right; Su Xiao saw it more like a laser.
The more dangerous the user’s situation, the stronger the Pumpkin Romantic Artillery becos. If an enemy approached closely, the Pumpkin Romantic Artillery wasn’t a gun anymore but a cannon, a laser cannon~, which could continuously fire and sweep while being held.
With Mine’s support using Pumpkin Romantic Artillery, Brand, relying on his Imperial tool and personal strength, resolved the Three Beast Soldiers.
While there are differences in strength between Imperial tools, the strength of the Imperial Tool User also determines to what extent the Imperial tool can exert its power.
The luxury cruise ship slowly docked, and Red Eye and Mine, waiting at the shore for so ti, approached.
"The firepower was just in ti, Mine."
Brand, who narrowly escaped death, grinned; although well-built, he had a sowhat GAY vibe. Leone always suspected Brand was gay.
"Uh, it’s... it’s okay; I’m a shooting genius after all."
Mine shivered a bit at Brand’s grin, causing her shoulder to tremble.
"Have the Imperial tools been collected?"
Red Eye spoke. Red Eye, with her long straight black hair and crimson eyes, was the origin of her na. Although a killer, she was a bit cute in daily life.
"The collection is complete; three in total, a decent haul."
"Then let’s retreat quickly; Lubbock just sent a ssage saying an enemy will soon attack."
Red Eye and her group headed towards the harbor.
"Just taking the Imperial tools and leaving after killing, isn’t that bad?"
A figure approached from outside the harbor, holding a sharp blade in one hand, its edge straight and stained with blood.
Su Xiao scanned the people present, his gaze quickly locking onto Red Eye, the opponent he was about to face. The rest were either injured, long-range fighters, or not strong in combat effectiveness.
