Chapter 14 Arthur‘s Power

   Doris's SS+ level of psychic power is not something that can't be overstated. Nicola's attention finally shifted from "this little protagonist has such a thin waist" to "this female protagonist has such fierce psychic power".

   Nicola pushed Arthur away and met the heroine Doris.

   The girl was so strong that when Arthur was pushed away, he felt like a piece of soft tofu that was overwhelmed.

   The soft tofu Arthur endured the pain of being torn apart and staggered to the side, almost being crushed. After stood firm with great difficulty, he clearly felt that the air around him became tense, like a big net, overwhelmingly pressing towards him from all directions.

   Arthur's whole body seemed to be placed under a heavy pressure. He tried hard to adjust his state, took a deep breath, and felt his body falling heavily. He stretched out his hand to hold on to the tree beside him, and his eyes were covered in white as if covered with a layer of fog.

   He used his psychic power to adjust his breathing and physical condition to resist the extremely strong powers of Doris and Lilith.

   The white fog in front of his eyes gradually faded away, and Arthur breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't want to be shocked by the scene in front of him as soon as he opened his eyes.

   In front of his eyes, in addition to the dim forest sky, there were also criss-crossing threads like spider silk. They come in two colors, one is gold and the other is red.

   They are entangled, fleeing, and wandering. Either hanging in mid-air, or floating among the branches and leaves, they come overwhelmingly, covering the whole world. They seem soft, but in fact they can cut even thick branches in an instant.

   Everything around him was chopped into pieces in an instant, and tiny leaves and branches fell one after another, making a silent sob.

   While Arthur was stunned, a golden thread floated in his direction. It seemed to be blown by the wind, flying past with golden light, and scratched a small wound on his cheek.

   The wound went from being invisible at first to slowly oozing red blood, and then the blood became more and more abundant, almost staining his cheek red.

   It hurts... This was Arthur's first reaction, and his second reaction was to reflexively avoid the golden and red threads drifting towards him.

   The seemingly noble and reserved golden thread can cut off branches wherever it touches.

   The red silk thread looks sharp and arrogant, but it will pass around the dense leaves of the branches without hurting innocent people.

   What on earth are these...?

   Arthur followed the criss-crossing threads and turned to look at Doris and Lilith.

   The two of them were almost completely wrapped in these red and yellow silk threads, and their body shapes were almost invisible. In the darkness, they looked like a huge, red and yellow sphere, sharp and sharp.

   Lilith was never Doris's opponent. Even if she could fight Doris, the natural gap in psychic power had already destined this to be an unwinnable battle.

   Doris kicked Nicola hard in the injured arm.

   Nicola grunted and paused. Doris saw the right moment and punched her in the abdomen. She was knocked three meters away and hit the big tree three meters behind, where Arthur was standing. That place.

   The girl's slender and tall body flew past her and hit the tree hard.

   Arthur only felt a sharp wind passing by, and then a burst of sparse fallen leaves drifted away, scattering all over his head and body.

   The red silk threads flying all over the sky were like marshmallows soaked in water, sliding down in an instant. The golden threads are even more colorful and become sharper.

   Doris was having a hard time fighting this fight, but she was also very excited. She had never taken Lilith seriously, but Lilith today made her feel a little different, and even aroused her fighting spirit.

   But what's the difference? Doris couldn't tell again.

   Doris took out her gun, loaded it with haze blue bullets, pointed it at Lilith, and said those words back to her, "All women hold grudges."

   Nicola: ...You are too damn vindictive.

   Nicola sat against the tree, gasping for breath and extending a middle finger towards Arthur.

   Arthur:...

   Nicola was beaten so hard by Doris that she only had the strength to hook her finger at Arthur... No, she didn't even have the strength to hook her finger.

   Arthur looked at her expressionlessly.

   The red threads in his sight did not completely disappear. In the darkness, they slowly became thinner and lighter. After the red threads all over the sky gradually disappeared, Arthur could see more clearly.

   The source of the red thread is... Lilith.

   The girl's sweaty long curly red hair sticks obediently to her white cheeks, and her crimson ruby-like eyes tremble slightly, like a gem doll carefully made of gems. Around her body, soft red silk threads penetrated into her body bit by bit like retracted spider silk.

   Arthur suddenly had a bold guess.

   These lines... are they the spiritual power?

   "come here."

   Seeing Arthur staring at her blankly, Nicola had no choice but to speak, her voice extremely weak.

   "What are you going to do?" Arthur subconsciously took a step back, very alert.

   Nicola said sincerely: "I'll send you on your way first."

   Arthur:...

   On the opposite side, Doris had raised the gun in her hand. She sneered and said, "Don't worry, I will send you two on the road together."

   When Nicola heard this, she looked at Arthur with a confused expression, "Have you offended her?"

   Arthur: ...Obviously you offended her.

   Yes, it was obviously Doris who was offended by Lilith, so why did Doris Williams send him on the road together?

   "I will definitely get the Eagle mecha." Doris explained the reason. "This is the rule of this trial. I will not be lenient."

   "Killing" everyone and obtaining the mecha is Doris' goal.

   After saying this, Doris narrowed her eyes expressionlessly and fired in the direction of Nicola.

   With a "bang" sound, the blue haze exploded in front of the tree, and this rich and ethereal color filled the radius of one meter.

   Doris believed that Lilith was unable to resist, but when the blue smoke dissipated, she did not see Lilith there.

   Missing?

   Doris' expression condensed and she quickly released her power to search.

   The golden threads that had become very light in the air suddenly became thicker again. Arthur hugged Nicola and hid in the tree, and saw the golden threads approaching crazily in their direction.

   What to do? what to do? He can't beat Doris Williams.

   "What are we going to do now?" Although he didn't want to, Arthur knew that now he could only discuss it with Lilith.

   "One shot for you, one shot for me. Just die and get back under the quilt." Nicola leaned on Arthur's slender arms, her hands resting on his neck. Her face was pale, but her eyes were bright, especially when she said When the three words "quilt" are used.

   Arthur:...

   As soon as Arthur loosened his hands, Nicola was thrown down from the tree with a smile on her face.

   Nicola: ...fuck you.

   As the child grows older, he begins to fight back.

   Nicola used the last bit of strength she had left to barely maintain a good-looking landing position. For example, the ostrich head-down pose... Damn, my neck is going to break.

   Doris had already found Lilith and Arthur hiding in the tree. She was about to take action to deal with the two people, but Arthur suddenly let go and Nicola fell to the spot.

   Doris looked at Nicola's weird landing posture, was silent for a while, and pointed the gun at her raised... butt.

   On the tree, Arthur, who had abandoned Lilith and used her as bait, looked at the golden thread floating in front of him, with a cruel look on his face. He raised the dagger in his hand and slashed at the golden threads with fierce movements.

   The sharp dagger passed through the golden silk thread, and the thread was cut at the waist.

   Under the tree, Doris suddenly felt a psychic tremor, as if something had scratched her spiritual sea.

   Arthur had been paying attention to Doris's expression and movements. He clearly saw her visible pause, and his eyes immediately lit up.

   It works! He can see spiritual powers floating in the air, and he can also... cut them!

   The young man was slender and shuttled between dense trees. He dodged Doris's shots again and again, and the dagger in his hand flew up and down, as if cutting the air.

   But every time he slashed, Doris felt her spiritual sea vibrate. She worked hard to connect her spiritual sea and release more spiritual power.

   The haze blue bullets were flying everywhere, and Arthur looked with a headache at the golden threads that he had cut with his dagger but were still connected.

   Those threads seemed to chase him endlessly, leaving wounds that cut through his body every time.

   Arthur's strength gradually began to fail, and his body became slower and slower.

   Doris didn't know what happened, she just felt that her psychic energy was being consumed very quickly. Fortunately, this battle is about to end.

   With a "pop" sound, the bullet hit Arthur's sleeve, exploding a layer of blue haze.

   Arthur fell from the trees like a black butterfly with broken wings.

   Doris had an impatient look on her face, feeling that Arthur was too difficult to deal with. He was obviously just an S-level psychic, but he was able to escape under her nose for so long.

   It's time to end.

   Nicola watched Arthur chop at the air for a long time, until he was panting and dripping with sweat. He was even panting when he fell next to her.

   "Smash..." Nicola slapped her mouth and suddenly swallowed.

   This clear sound of saliva made Arthur, who was lying on the ground, look frozen and glared at Nicola with an extremely fierce expression.

   It was rare for Nicola to feel guilty. She pouted there and explained tactfully: "It's a natural physiological reaction. Women are animals that covet beauty. You have to understand it."

   I understand nothing! I will definitely kill you next time, you pervert!

   After Nicola finished speaking, she relaxed her body and sat up slowly and hard. She took a deep breath, suddenly threw something hard, and shouted to Doris: "Doris Williams! Bomb!"

   Something flew in front of Doris' eyes. She tensed up and subconsciously held her head to seek cover.

   Nicola quickly whispered to Arthur: "Take me on your back and run away!"

   Arthur didn't look back and ran away.

   Nicola: ...ungrateful little brat.

   Fortunately, Nicola had already accumulated enough energy to escape after taking a rest just now.

   She followed Arthur, and the two of them shuttled through the dense forest. They ran away for who knows how long, and it seemed that they finally got rid of Doris Williams.

   ·

   "What did you throw at Doris Williams?"

   The two of them were resting on a towering tree, and Nicola was tying a strip of cloth on her arm to stop the bleeding.

   While biting the strip of cloth, she said in a vague voice: "rag doll."

   On the other side, Doris, who had clearly heard the explosion of a bomb, had no doubts about the bomb that Nicola shouted. Therefore, after Nicola and Arthur escaped, she was still hiding nervously.

   But she waited for a long time, but there was no explosion.

   Doris raised her head with a confused look and met the doll's innocent eyes.

   Doris: ...cheated.

   ·

   Only two hours left.

   Nicola glanced at the sky and saw a systematic countdown in her mind.

   There are still two hours left, let's get some sleep first.

   Nicola, who had lost too much blood and was exhausted, couldn't bear it any longer. She slowly found an extremely spacious branch, stuck her head in the middle of a branch, and began to sleep with her eyes closed.

   Arthur sat on another branch and looked down at her.

   The girl closed her eyes and slept there defenselessly.

   After a while, she fell asleep. Due to excessive blood loss, his cheeks were pale and his red hair was piled up messily, which made his face white and small.

   Her ruby-like eyes were closed tightly, and her breathing gradually became fainter.

   This was the first time Arthur saw Lilith sleeping.

   Arthur raised his hand to wipe the blood from his face.

   His originally fair cheeks were covered with dried blood marks, making the whole person look ferocious and sinister.

   Arthur Otis was born innocent, like an angel with black hair and black eyes. Such an appearance made people forget that he came from a hellish place like a slum.

   The blood of wild dogs runs in his bones.

   In the darkness, he stood up and raised the gun in his hand towards Nicola.

   Where to fight?

   The muzzle of the gun slid down from the girl's cheek and was aimed at the slender and soft neck.

   It must be painful there, right?

   Arthur held down the trigger, and there was a strange burning feeling in his beautiful obsidian eyes. This hot excitement flowed through his body, making him unable to help but feel a sense of joy.

   It's like the common people sent the royal family to the guillotine and turned over to sing.

   Just when Arthur was about to take action, suddenly Nicola moved her head.

   Arthur stiffened and stopped there.

   In the night wind, the girl's slender body slowly curled up.

   Her white and soft hands were clenched into fists and squeezed in front of her chest, like an insecure baby. Finally, she buried her face in... her chest.
