Bai Ye did not move, and then the blade at the tip of the umbrella pierced through Bai Ye’s body.
Large currents of electricity appeared, entering an elemental state, and the opponent's weapon passed directly through him.
Bai Ye glanced at the other party, a petite woman in a small dress, holding a black umbrella, with a doll-like face and thick foundation, making her age indistinguishable.
At the same time…
The woman’s face also showed a hint of surprise. How did her weapon pass through the opponent’s body?
Immunity to physical attacks?
This is a bit of a cheat!
As the woman thought, she continuously retreated, then extended her hand forward and said, “Rose Thorns!”
As the woman reached out and pressed forward, a circle of red magic patterns suddenly appeared, with obscure magical text emerging.
And then…
Two thorn-covered vines shot out from the magic circle, sweeping towards Bai Ye.
“Magic?”
Bai Ye dodged, as elementalization would be ineffective against this.
With more use, Bai Ye understood the elementalization of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit better. Now, he no longer needed to be punched twice to know if elementalization was effective; he could make a certain degree of judgment.
First, purely physical attacks are completely ineffective against elementalization, identical to spiritual bodies.
Second, elemental attacks, such as fire, frost, or even lightning itself, cannot be resisted, and elemental attacks represent mutual interaction, with certain elemental resistances as well.
Third, illusory weapons are not immune to elementalization.
Fourth, materialized weapons are immune to elementalization.
Fifth, there are occasional inexplicable situations.
Currently, Bai Ye is in the third situation. Although the thorn vines look solid, they are not true physical objects but are created by magic. Therefore, even if Bai Ye elementalizes and transforms into lightning, he cannot avoid the attack.
Another situation worth mentioning is that weapons condensed by Steel Slime do not belong to illusory weapons but materialized weapons, which are ineffective against Bai Ye and cannot hit him.
Boom!
At the same time…
As Bai Ye dodged, the two thorn vines hit the coffee table in the living room, smashing it to pieces in an instant.
Missing the target, the woman shifted her footing, waved the black umbrella in her hand, and the thorn vines swept towards Bai Ye again.
And…
“Frostbolt!”
The woman raised her left hand, and silvery-white radiance appeared in the air.
The radiance quickly formed lines, creating a magic circle.
Large areas of silvery-white frost suddenly appeared around, and the air in the room dropped dramatically, instantly becoming cold.
Three magic bullets condensed from frost shot out from the center of the magic patterns, flying towards Bai Ye.
Thorn vines block positions, frostbolts attack…
Bai Ye raised an eyebrow. This woman’s combat skills are good; she is experienced.
However…
It’s useless!
Zzzt!
Large arcs of electricity surged around Bai Ye, and he then turned into a bolt of lightning and charged forward.
Crackling, crackling!
The moment the lightning passed, the incoming frostbolts instantly shattered, turning into ice shards and scattering.
The lightning arcs acted like blades, quickly severing the two thorn vines.
Seeing this, the woman quickly opened the umbrella in her hand.
Boom!
The electricity hit the umbrella's surface, and the massive impact sent the woman flying, crashing into the wall with blood seeping from the corner of her mouth.
But…
She blocked it!
The scattered lightning arcs condensed, reforming into Bai Ye.
Bai Ye tilted his head and looked at the woman in front of him. Is she a Ghoul Investigator?
To be precise, she shouldn’t be a native but a Chosen One.
She can use magic, and her umbrella is clearly different from a Ghoul Investigator’s Quinque. It should be a weapon, or armor? It might also have both weapon and armor functions.
Bai Ye pondered, and black mud-like liquid appeared on his face, condensing into the bio-mask of the Predator.
Biological Scan activated…
Biological Scan complete…
Lan Qing (Chosen One) (Injured): Chosen One from a world of witchcraft civilization.
Strength: 121
Speed: 130
Stamina: 117
Spirit: 121
Intelligence: 10
Weakness Search: ???
…
“Aha!”
She is indeed a Chosen One!
Moreover, judging by her physical attributes alone, this woman named Lan Qing is not weak. Although she is considerably inferior to Bai Ye, by “average” standards, Lan Qing’s physical attributes are definitely top-tier.
However, Bai Ye couldn’t help but feel a bit puzzled.
It’s one thing for those Ghoul Investigators to target him, but why would a Chosen One cause trouble for him?
He’s been very honest and law-abiding this time, he hasn’t done anything.
As Bai Ye was thinking, Lan Qing raised her umbrella again. The tip of the umbrella suddenly split open, and then it sprayed flames at Bai Ye.
Bai Ye looked up.
Fire?
No problem, just come at me!
Bai Ye walked directly into the flames, ignoring the burning, and approached Lan Qing.
Bai Ye has the Phoenix ability. The legendary Phoenix is born from fire, so being enveloped by flames is like taking a hot spring bath for Bai Ye.
Passing through the flames, Bai Ye placed his hand on Lan Qing’s umbrella.
“Fire…” Bai Ye sneered, “should be used like this!”
Phoenix flames overflowed from Bai Ye’s palm, and then…
Inferno!
Boom!
A deafening roar erupted, and the Phoenix flames in Bai Ye’s hand suddenly exploded, a massive fireball detonating between them.
The immense force of the explosion sent Lan Qing flying, and she crashed into the wall amidst the blast wave.
With a thud.
Countless fine cracks appeared on the wall, which then collapsed with a rumble. Lan Qing also fell onto the corridor.
The corridor was already in disarray.
Fire alarms blared incessantly, sensors flashed, and sprinklers sprayed water.
At the same time, a large amount of smoke filled the corridor.
There was a smell of charring, the black smoke from the explosion.
In addition, Bai Ye smelled gas, unsure if it was a leak due to the explosion or if someone had used a gas bomb.
Lan Qing lay on the ground, clutching her chest. Bai Ye’s two attacks had already injured her significantly, making her realize she had picked a fight with someone tough.
Her priority now was not how to kill Bai Ye but how to survive.
And at this moment, Bai Ye stepped over the broken wall and entered the corridor.
Lan Qing gritted her teeth. She suddenly saw two figures appearing at the corner of the corridor and immediately shouted, “He’s this way, help!”
