Shwashwashwash!
Streaks of silver light flashed, and Dolores appeared tens of meters away.
Behind her, the severed limbs of the soulless littered the ground.
"Easily defeated. I really don't know what the point of these trash from the Black-tailed Swallow Legion is, next to the World Tower?"
"They can't defend anything, and they just tarnish their reputation!"
Dolores mused.
At the same time, over a hundred pale-skinned soulless charged from all directions.
Dolores swung her long sword, transforming into streaks of silver phantoms, slicing the dry flesh and blood into pieces.
"Even if all the soulless in the entire forest charge over, they won't be our match. Don't think you can stop us!"
Dolores flicked the dark brown bloodstains from her sword and said.
"The enemy seems to have... gotten stronger!"
Miaoyin frowned and said.
"Hm?"
Dolores turned her head, looking at Miaoyin with slight surprise.
"I observed that previously, you could kill the soulless with just your sword energy. Furthermore, the energy stirred by the sword qi would directly destroy the soulless's crystal core, so even without cutting off their heads, they would die directly."
"But with the batch of zombies just now, you attacked many of them a second time, cutting open their heads to kill them completely."
"Although it was just one extra strike, the combat efficiency has significantly decreased!"
Miaoyin analyzed from the side.
As a bystander, she had discovered this problem from the details of the battle.
Dolores, however, was in a frenzy of killing and wouldn't consciously distinguish which soulless she had defeated before. She would kill as many as came.
Upon Miaoyin's reminder, she finally realized that the enemy was indeed getting stronger.
"After all, this is the headquarters of the Black-tailed Swallow Legion. It's normal for the monsters to become stronger!"
"Besides, they're just soulless. How much stronger can they get?"
Miaoqi comforted from the side.
"Roar!"
Another group of soulless charged up. This time, the soulless were very different from the previous ones.
They were covered in thick, armor-like keratin. At first glance, they were plump, with sharp fingertips on their hands. They shrieked and charged towards Dolores.
"Another new type of soulless?"
Dolores leaped back, twirling her long sword, releasing sharp sword energy.
Zing zing!
The sword energy collided with the soulless's tough keratin, emitting a series of metallic clangs.
"What's going on?!"
Dolores held her breath, mobilizing all the energy within her.
"Star Shatter Slash!"
Her entire being became one with her long sword, emitting a blinding light, instantly delivering hundreds of sharp attacks.
Puff!
The powerful energy sliced through the soulless's keratin and body together, and they fell to the ground.
"Amazing, this move is so powerful!"
"Worthy of being the First Swordsman of the Valen Empire Royal Guard!"
The three little cats cheered from the side.
But only Dolores knew that this move was her ultimate attack.
She hadn't expected to use it here so soon, and the previous move had consumed a lot of her stamina, leaving her breathless.
"I've never seen this kind of soulless before, truly miraculous!"
"They seem to be evolving autonomously based on the attacker's abilities, becoming stronger and stronger!"
"If I'm not mistaken, the next ones will definitely be large, thick-skinned ones!"
Zhang Chen said with a frown.
As soon as he spoke, the sound of rumbling echoed.
The puddles on the ground also began to tremble violently.
"It really is a big guy! Meow!"
The three little cats widened their mouths, looking up at the creature slowly emerging from the forest.
It was twenty meters tall, like a giant faceless being.
However, its entire body was covered in thorny, calloused armor, its muscles bulged, and the muscles in its neck were so explosive that its neck was completely invisible.
Its head was small and compact, square-shaped, with a pair of blood-red eyes and a mouth full of sharp fangs.
"Let me fight you!"
Dolores roared, leaping high. Her long sword turned into a half-silver moon and exploded on the giant soulless's chest.
Hum! Zing!
Dolores was sent flying back tens of meters by the immense recoil, landing steadily on the ground.
However, that attack had only left a white mark on the giant soulless's chest.
"This... this guy is outrageously strong!"
Dolores gritted her teeth and said.
"Not only outrageously strong, but outrageously numerous..."
Miaoyin's expression changed, and she said with a slight tremor.
From all directions, over a dozen giant soulless slowly advanced, some even chewing on flesh and blood, making crunching sounds.
