Book 4: Chapter 38: Talulah, a Weakling?

As the Reunion Movement was also an organization composed of the Infected, Rhodes Island paid attention to it. Furthermore, Kal’tsit knew of future events, so Amiya shared this basic intel.

“This tyrant is giving off a fiery smell, like a flame that can burn vast patches of land.” As the Radiant Knight, Nearl sensed Talulah was powerful.

“You are the one who killed Mephisto and Faust, right?” After Talulah arrived, she did not stop. Instead, she continued walking forward alone for a certain distance.

The first person she looked at was not Rhodes Island’s leader, Amiya, or the leader of the team, Doctor. Instead, she looked at Chen Heng, the Sniper who had killed two of her leaders with one shot.

“I do not deny that. However, I would like to say, for the record, I only wanted to kill Mephisto. That brat was too annoying.” Chen Heng could sense Talulah’s strength, but it was only enough to make him look at her properly, far from sufficient to make him take her seriously.

Before joining the Dimension Administrators Association, Chen Heng might have taken Talulah seriously. However, his strength had increased by another level after the ability second awakening. Furthermore, he now had the Will Energy the Chen Clan ancestor gave during the visualization training.

At the same time, he had to count the Will Energy obtained when he gained the Lvl 5 Electromagnetic Control.

Abilities were harder to improve the further one went. However, every improvement would be a metamorphosis. Right now, Chen Heng could fight five of the past him with one hand.

“It is not your place to comment on my subordinates. Since you killed my Reunion Movement leaders, you should be prepared to pay for it.” Big Sister Talulah, indeed, full of ruthless words.

“Oh, I’m so scared.”

“Alright, He Who Knows Fate, stop taunting her. Talulah is powerful. Perhaps your charged shot might work on her, but can you still do that now?” While Chen Heng mocked Talulah, Nearl came up to stop him and even shielded him. Ace came with her.

“Honestly speaking, I can fire that earlier shot again. After all, the cooldown is already over. However, I feel she won’t give me that chance.” Chen Heng looked at Talulah, who was holding a sword, as he replied to Nearl.

“You actually dare to continue taunting me? Then see if you can handle my attack!”

Heat gathered above Talulah’s upraised left hand, distorting the scene around her. That was just an optical illusion resulting from the temperature difference, not some horrific spatial warping.

“Everyone, be careful of that...” Amiya could clearly sense the might of that clump of heat above Talulah’s hand.

“Shut up!” After Talulah finished charging her attack, she swung her left hand down. The extreme heat rushed towards the shield wall that Ace and Nearl put up together.

A large black barrier shielded Nearl. This was...Amiya’s Originium Art.

After Amiya recovered from her Oripathy, she could still use Originium Arts. Furthermore, there were no side effects.

The black barrier burned visibly; burning down was just a matter of time. Amiya was only a little donkey after all, no match for Talulah.

Efreet: I say, He Who Knows Fate, aren’t you going to make a move? How long are you going to keep watching?

Wait some more. Wait some more. The iconic scene has not appeared yet. How can I make my move now?

Efreet: Be careful of things going out of control.

What a joke! A weakling like Talulah can make things go out of control?

Umaru-chan: Huh?! Talulah? Weakling? Sorry, I cannot associate those two words. The world of a powerhouse is indeed different.

Magus of Flowers: Talulah would be considered at the peak of Arknights’s combat strength—the peak of an ordinary person, of course. But...

17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: But how could she compare with someone like He Who Knows Fate, who can pull the moon down?

Kal’tsit: That’s about enough. Quickly help them. Keep delaying, and I’ll dock your paycheck.

I have a paycheck? Why don’t I know about it?

Chen Heng did not expect to have pay. Kal’tsit had not mentioned it to him.

Kal’tsit: I’m not some wicked employer. Of course, I pay my operators.

Ten points are worth one million LMD. As for how much the pay is...well, do as you see fit.

Kal’tsit: ...
