Book 4: Chapter 94: I Have Plot Armor!
Hiss...
Lilith extracted the hair out of her palm while hissing in pain.
By right, extracting extremely fine objects from flesh shouldn’t hurt so much; just like acupuncture.
But then again, the hair pierced her bone. Just the sensation of pulling it out of her bone alone was extremely unpleasant.
Even after removing the offending object, the fine wound didn’t heal immediately. Cornelia’s battle qi clung to Lilith’s wound like a bad rash, constantly tearing apart the wound that had just healed.
And this had completely proven Elder White’s lesson about the fact that battle qi would quickly dissipate once they were out of its owner’s control to be false.
Lilith took a deep breath, as she realized that the situation was more troublesome than expected.
“You should be proud of yourself for being able to catch one of my attacks.”
Cornelia was a little surprised. She lifted her finger at Lilith again, and the sound of something slicing through the air was heard even clearer this time.Gét latest novel chapters on nov(e)lbj/n(.)c/om
“But that is as far as you can go.”
Lilith immediately rolled to the side, narrowly dodging another three consecutive attacks. The white hair needles that failed to hit the target nailed themselves to the wall behind her. The needles, which were made out of Cornelia’s hair that reached all the way to her waist, buried themselves all the way into the wall, which Lilith couldn’t even leave a scratch on, until only less than a centimeter of its end were visible.
It was evident that the offensive power of this attack was much stronger than the previous.
Cornelia’s eyes darkened when her attack missed. A dozen of her long white hair floated in the air.
The change in her expression nearly cramped up Lilith’s frantic legs.
Her heart was thumping uncontrollably.
“HEY, DO YOU KNOW YOU’RE GONNA BE BALD SOON IF YOU KEEP THIS UP?!!”
“I don’t.”
With a light wave of Cornelia’s hand, dozens of her long hair strands instantly vanished in everyone’s sight, leaving only the ear-piercing buzzing noises echoing throughout the room.
“If it’s hair, I can grow as much as I want.”
“......”
Puff.
The sound when the battle qi-instilled long hair needle piercing into her flesh at high-speed was so clear in Lilith’s ears.
“Damn it.”
Lilith cursed angrily and quickly escaped in the opposite direction to evade more hair needles.
Unfortunately, her shoulders and thighs still got hit.
Lilith quickly pulled out the steel-hard hair, but was still inevitably restrained from action.
Although she was only left with a limited number of uses of the black flame, it was sufficient to deal with the situation at hand.
“I still haven’t used my ultimate skill yet. I’m afraid it’s a bit early for you to jump to that conclusion.”
“Ultimate skill?”
Cornelia raised an eyebrow at Lilith. “Enlighten me then.”
“Heh, I love confident villains like you guys the most.” Lilith licked her lips.
Villains who were so insanely powerful that they could wipe the floor with the protagonist usually die in a few ways in the end:
They either die from talking too much, or die from conceit, or both.
And surely, this abnormally powerful monstrous young girl would be no exception.
Despite being in extreme pain, the thought of this enabled Lilith’s lips to curl into a confident smile.
And now, I’ll show you... Just how absurd a protagonist with plot armor can be!
COME, MY FLAME!
[ NO! ]
Just when Lilith was about to summon the black flame, she was interrupted by a familiar voice that suddenly appeared in her mind.
[ You mustn’t use that black flame now! ]
“Sae, you’re awake?”
Lilith replied to the voice in her mind with surprise.
Ever since the incident in Aeria, Sae had been sleeping in the broken dagger most of the time after losing her physical body. Normally, she wouldn’t awaken by herself unless called upon by Lilith.
However this time, she awakened by herself.
“What do you mean by that?”
Lilith narrowed her eyes. She didn’t recall telling Sae about the black flame before. Could it be...
[ In any case, you mustn’t use that black flame. You mustn’t!! ]
“You have to give me a reason to not use it.”
Sae fell silent for a moment. Just when Lilith almost thought that she had fallen asleep, Sae’s voice appeared in her mind again.
It sounded extremely grave.
*[ Lady Lilith.
If you don’t wish to be crushed and pulverized by a real deity,
then you must never ever use that black flame! ]*
