Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections.

"you"

Just as Doctor Crow was about to speak, a silver-white moonlight energy swept out like a sharp blade and hit it hard.

With a dull thud, Doctor Crow's body was knocked flying and hit the wall in the distance, and his words were abruptly interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"Shut up!"

"You scumbags gave me life, but you also imprisoned me here forever."

Before she finished her words, she raised her hand again, and the moonlight energy condensed into a light blade, pointing directly at the other Crow doctor.

Facing her attack, these figures in black robes just stood there silently, neither dodging nor resisting, as if they had already anticipated her anger and were willing to endure her venting.

"enough!"

At this moment, Attaya wrapped her black hair around the Moon Girl.

Ataya walked slowly out of the shadows with a cold, scrutinizing look in her eyes.

In her opinion, the Moon Girl was just a spoiled child - even in a place like the Dead City full of distortion and madness, the Moon Girl was still able to enjoy normal food when she was young, and was not forced to learn to forage for food among monsters until she became an adult.

But Ataya herself grew up among a group of monsters.

She once fought a monster in a nest full of corpses and was rescued by Doctor Crow when she was on the verge of death.

Now, seeing the Moon Girl acting so recklessly, she naturally would not stand idly by.

"Maybe... the teacher is really wrong."

A Crow doctor looked at the Moon Girl struggling with Ataya, and a trace of pain appeared in his eyes behind the mask.

They watched in silence the fierce fight between the Moon Girl and Attaya, as if they were staring at an irreparable mistake.

They once held the purest ideal - to open up a path for the living to continue in this silent city eroded by death and madness.

The birth of the Moon Girl is the product of this ideal.

But now, she was like a blade out of control, pouring all her anger and resentment on her creator.

“Let me go!” The Moon Girl screamed, her pale skin flushed with a sickly red due to the intense emotions.

Ataya's black hair tangled around her limbs, trying to suppress her struggles.

However, the next second, a dazzling moon-white light suddenly burst out from the Moon Girl's body, like a broken moon exploding.

The moment Ataya's black hair came into contact with the light, it quickly curled up and charred as if burned by flames, and the air was suddenly filled with a pungent smell of burning.

She groaned and was forced to retreat, with a hint of surprise in her eyes - the power of the Moon Girl was far more violent than she had expected.

"What do you know?!" The Moon Girl's voice was no longer clear, but carried multiple echoes, as if countless voices were roaring at the same time.

Her robe rustled in the wind, revealing the strange lines running down her collarbone - that was the mark that the Dead City had left on her.

Different from residents like the old charlatan, the Moon Girl's life source has long been deeply integrated with the power of death.

Others might be able to use special means to temporarily remove the power of death from their bodies and gain a moment of freedom, but she could never escape the shackles of this city.

"Hey, take this."

Just as Lin Yi was hesitating whether to step forward to intervene, a hoarse sigh from Doctor Crow came from behind him.

One of the men in black robes took out two tubes of potion from his worn pocket. Bright golden liquid flowed in the glass containers, emitting a warm glow in the dim environment.

“Maybe we were really wrong at the beginning.”

Doctor Crow closed his eyes and without saying anything else, turned and walked towards the dilapidated three-story building. His back looked particularly desolate.

As doctors, they abide by their teachers' teachings throughout their lives - only save and not kill.

This belief is engraved deep in their souls like a brand. Even when faced with the rampaging Moon Girl, they will never raise their butcher knives.

On the other side, Su Xiao's attention was completely attracted by the [Eternal Gold] in his hand.

This precious potion that can restrain the power of death must naturally be used to its full potential.

He deftly pulled out the stopper from the crystal bottle and slowly poured the glittering golden liquid onto the blade of the Dragon Slashing Blade.

The moment the medicine came into contact with the air, a sharp corrosion sound suddenly rang out, as if boiling metal was immersed in ice water.

Wisps of black smoke rose from the blade, and the surrounding force of death and silence surged violently as if it had encountered a natural enemy.

The blade of the Dragon Slash gradually emitted a sacred golden glow. As Su Xiao swung it tentatively, the trajectory of the blade left a faint trace of light in the air.

The most surprising thing was that the power of death that had been entangled around his body like a thorn in his flesh was now greatly weakened.

Su Xiao moved his shoulders, and the long-lost feeling of relaxation made a hint of satisfaction flash in his eyes.

"Athaya."

As Lin Yi's voice appeared on the battlefield, Ataya retracted her hair and took two steps back.

At this moment, with the blessing of countless buffs, a cold light appeared between Attaya and the Moon Girl, and slashed towards the Moon Girl's neck.

With the blessing of multiple buffs, the blade of the Dragon Slash was so fast that it almost turned into an afterimage. The [Eternal Gold] flowing on the blade rubbed violently with the air, dragging out a gorgeous golden light track.

The light was so dazzling that it caused tiny distorted ripples in the space wherever it passed.

Before Ataya could completely retract her black hair, a few strands of hair floating in the air were accidentally swept by the aftermath of the knife light, and in an instant they turned into gray-white dust and fell down.

For the first time, real fear appeared on the pale face of the Moon Girl—it was not the fear of death, but a deeper tremor that came from the instinct of life.

She hastily raised her arm, trying to block the fatal blow.

When the Dragon Slash came into contact with the Moon Girl's arm, the blade that could only barely break through the Moon Girl's defense now cut as smoothly as a hot knife cutting through butter.

With a slight sound, the Moon Girl's arm was severed, but the knife's force did not decrease, and it continued to cut a shocking 30-centimeter cut on her chest.

The Moon Girl stared at her broken arm in a daze, as if she had not yet recovered from this sudden change.

Only when blood gushed out did she stagger back two steps and let out a heart-wrenching wail.

The voice no longer carried the previous arrogance and anger, only the most primitive pain and disbelief.

“It hurts! It hurts so much—!”

The Moon Girl's shrill screams echoed in the silent city. As she wailed, the moonlight power condensed around her began to run wild.

Silver-white energy raged around her like a blizzard. The ground cracked and shattered under the impact of the energy. The surrounding building debris was sucked into the energy vortex and turned into dust in an instant.

Faced with this situation, Su Xiao naturally couldn't rush forward.

Right now, the Moon Girl is clearly attacking indiscriminately. Although the momentum of the outburst is very huge, once this period of time is over, the Moon Girl will fall into a state of decline.

The Moon Girl covered her broken arm with her hands tremblingly, her originally pale face twisted in pain.

She stared at the golden blood oozing from the wound, and for the first time she truly understood the meaning of pain.

The gleaming golden blood beads dripped onto the stone floor with a hissing sound, and the hard stone bricks were corroded as if encountering strong acid, leaving small holes that emitted white smoke.

"Is this what you want?" The Moon Girl's voice suddenly became terrifyingly quiet, as if the hysterical madness just now had never existed.

She raised her head slowly and put on a creepy smile - that smile was too perfect, too perfect to be human.

Lin Yi suddenly felt a palpitation, and an instinctive sense of crisis instantly exploded: "Bai Ye, step back!"

The Moon Girl's body suddenly twisted and swelled as if inflated, and strange silver-white lines appeared under her skin.

Countless silver threads as thin as hair gushed out from the broken arm, dancing wildly in the air like the tentacles of some deep-sea creature.

These threads intertwined and entangled at an astonishing speed, and in a flash they reconstructed a brand new arm - but that could no longer be called a human arm.

The shell is covered with the luster of moonlight, with sharp bone spurs protruding from the joints and a sharp claw split into three fingers at the end. This new limb is more like a killing tool of some ancient insect.

At the wound that was originally corroded by the golden potion, the silvery-white substance squirmed like a living thing and began to swallow the golden liquid in reverse.

The hideous cut healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a layer of translucent crystals condensed on the surface.

When the Moon Girl spoke again, her voice had split into countless overlapping voices, including those of men and women, old and young, as if tens of millions of souls trapped in the moonlight were whispering at the same time.

"I am a child of the Dead City."

As the last syllable fell, her body suddenly burst into dazzling silver light.

The ground of the entire square began to crack, and countless silvery-white roots emerged from the cracks, spreading in all directions like living things.

Wherever the roots pass, the moisture in the air instantly condenses into suspended moonlight crystals.

These tiny crystals reflected a hazy halo, but they were full of murderous intent. Su Xiao noticed that the white air he exhaled was solidifying into ice crystals in the air. Su Xiao's Dragon Slash suddenly trembled violently, and the golden potion on the blade was evaporating at an alarming speed.

A dazzling golden arc of light flashed across, severing the attacking silver-white roots.

The severed roots twitched like living things after falling to the ground, and pearly mucus oozed from the broken ends.

In mid-air, the Moon Girl's body was suspended, and countless silver-white light points gathered from all directions, pouring into her body like a galaxy flowing backwards.

Her body was undergoing a terrifying change - the part below the waist had completely transformed into flowing moonlight, flashing a dangerous silver glow; the upper body was also gradually becoming translucent, through which the surging energy vortex inside could be vaguely seen.

On the other side, Ataya’s black hair was like a surging black wave that met the spreading roots.

Two completely different energies collided violently in the air, the black hair and the silver roots strangled and eroded each other, forming a dynamic battlefield in front of the treatment center - sometimes the black hair corroded the roots into ashes, and sometimes the silver roots crystallized and crushed the hair.

"then."

Lin Yi threw his bottle of [Eternal Gold] to Su Xiao from his personal space.

At the same time, a ball of black lightning appeared on the battlefield.

Out of curiosity, Ataya manipulated a strand of hair and tentatively approached the black lightning.

At the moment of contact, the strand of black hair was ruthlessly swallowed by the undercurrent of lightning, without even a trace of ash left.

As the undercurrent of lightning continued to spread, the ground beneath everyone's feet began to undergo amazing changes - the hard stone slabs gradually softened and decomposed, and finally turned into soft soil as black as ink.

After doing all this, Lin Yi threw the black and white rose directly at the Moon Girl.

The blade of the Black and White Rose instantly pierced through the bright moonlight surrounding the Moon Girl and pierced her chest accurately.

The moment the sword pierced through the body, the power of the abyss rushed in through the wound like a flood breaking through a dam.

The Moon Girl's body trembled violently, her slender ten fingers clasped her head tightly, her originally elegant face was distorted due to severe pain, and a heart-wrenching roar came from her mouth.

The sound was not like a human voice, but more like the wail of some ancient beast dying.

For the Moon Girl, even the pain of losing a limb was enough to make her feel miserable, let alone the abyss power that was eroding her entire body? That kind of pain seemed to tear her soul into pieces.

What's more terrifying is that this force is disrupting her originally stable energy form.

The Moon Girl's body began to shake violently, and her originally translucent body began to ripple like a lake with a stone thrown into it.

The flowing moonlight began to solidify and condense into flesh and blood again.

However, within a few breaths, she was forced to retreat from the energy form back to the human body, and this carefully prepared transformation was interrupted by Lin Yi.

Su Xiao's fingers gently stroked the blade of the Dragon Slash, and the [Eternal Gold] potion once again covered the blade of the Dragon Slash.

Su Xiao's figure disappeared on the spot, and the Dragon-Slaying Flash, wrapped in golden light, went straight for the throat of the Moon Girl.

When Su Xiao's blade was about to approach the Moonlight Shield on the Moon Girl's body, Lin Yi pulled with his right hand, and then several transparent silk threads appeared on the hilt of the Black and White Rose.

Under Lin Yi's control, the Black and White Rose cut a shocking huge wound horizontally from the collarbone.

This blow not only severely injured the Moon Girl, but also completely shattered the layer of moonlight on her body.

The crisp sound of the shield breaking had not yet dissipated when Su Xiao's Dragon Slash had already arrived.

The blade tore through the air with a piercing scream. Without the protection of her shield, the Moon Girl was like a shellfish stripped of its shell, completely exposed to the deadly edge.

The sharp tip of the knife pierced her snow-white throat unhindered, and the dark blue light of the power of the Blue Steel Shadow and the bright golden glow of the Eternal Gold intertwined and poured into her body.

At this moment, the Moon Girl's body is suffering from the ravages of three forces: the erosion of the power of the abyss, the destruction of the power of the Blue Steel Shadow, and the suppression of the Eternal Gold.

These forces rampaged through her body, bringing her heart-wrenching pain.

Her vision began to distort, and the figure in front of her split into four or five overlapping shadows, and her ears were filled with the roar of blood rushing.

"Oh."

The Moon Girl groaned in pain, and for the first time, a deep fear of death emerged in her silver-white eyes that were always filled with moonlight.

Although she had tried to escape from the Dead City countless times, and even often joked that it would be better to die, when death really came, the instinct for survival overwhelmed everything.

She raised her hands tremblingly and grasped the blade of the Dragon Slash tightly, trying to stop the deadly edge from penetrating any further.

At the same time, Su Xiao sank his wrist, and the blade of the Dragon-Slaying Blade burst out with a dazzling light blue light.

He suddenly drew out his knife, and then stabbed it into the Moon Girl's forehead!

The Moon Girl's body suddenly stiffened, and time seemed to freeze at this moment.

A crisp cracking sound was heard, and countless silver-white cracks appeared on the Moon Girl's body, starting from the wound, and quickly spread to the whole body like ice.

"Click——"

A crisp cracking sound was heard, and the Moon Girl's body shattered like glass.

Countless silver-white points of light escaped from her body and slowly dissipated in the air.

【The Moon Girl is dead.】

……

As the Moon Girl's body completely dissipated, a series of prompt sounds rang out in Su Xiao and Lin Yi's minds.

Even though Lin Yi and Su Xiao did not suffer serious injuries in this battle, it was entirely because the Moon Girl did not have time to attack them at all and was stunned by a series of attacks.

The Moon Girl is different from a normal BOSS. She has great power but lacks the battle awareness to match it.

If Attaya were in the same situation, even if she suffered heavy damage, she would definitely launch a counterattack at the first possible moment.

But the Moon Girl could only wail in vain, wasting the golden opportunity to counterattack.

Su Xiao took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood off the Dragon Slashing Blade. The Eternal Gold Potion remaining on the blade had already dissipated completely under the erosion of the power of death.

According to his estimation, the duration of this potion in ordinary areas is only about thirty seconds. If it is in certain special areas of Dead City, this time may be further shortened.

Lin Yi took out the trophy dropped by the Moon Girl from his personal space - a [Moon Crystal] emitting soft moonlight.

It seems as if a miniature bright moon is sealed inside the crystal, and the flowing energy forms strange patterns on the surface of the crystal.

As for Su Xiao, his gains were no worse than Lin Yi's.

"Do you want this?"

At this time, Su Xiao threw a notebook to Lin Yi.

After Lin Yi took the notebook, he was stunned for a moment and found that it contained experimental data on various energies and diseases.

After reading it, Lin Yi understood why Su Xiao gave him this thing. As the inheritor of the Shadow of Destruction, Su Xiao's power system is naturally incompatible with the abilities recorded in the notes. Forcing him to learn it might cause unknown conflicts.

"That's a good deal for me." Lin Yi chuckled and threw the [Moon Crystal] he got from the Moon Girl to Su Xiao. (End of this chapter)
