Danmaku, my skills refresh weekly.

As for Shire, Sancheng's learning progress is also quite exaggerated. No wonder he is a trainee from Hawaii. It feels like knowledge enters his brain as soon as his head itches.

Ciel felt like he was starting to get a brain!

The training and study continued until dusk...

"Lily, it's your turn to try!"

As Lily absorbs the day's training experience, the two switch souls.

"Um... please have mercy!" Lily bowed to Anya and awkwardly picked up the pistol.

"Alright, meow! Here it comes!" Anya regained her confidence, kicked and thrust her gun straight at his face.

"babble----"

Faced with the ever-growing gun tip in her field of vision, Lily was stunned for a second. But her body reacted instinctively, and with a 'clang,' she blocked with her gun. The immense force sent her staggering back four or five steps before she sat down on the ground.

"Hmph~" Anya, carrying her gun, said with a look of disdain, "You're nothing special, meow. I haven't even used my strength yet, and you've already fallen!"

“Hmm—” Lily puffed out her cheeks.

I can pin this stinky cat to the ground and beat it up, so why can't I, Lily, do the same?!

Crimson gradually stained his vision, and an uncontrollable madness surged through his mind.

The ability has been elevated.

"watch out!"

The short guns rained down like a storm, firing in bursts at Anya...

"Hmph~ Too slow, too slow, meow! What's going on~ Haven't you eaten, meow?"

"Meow meow meow, so noisy meow!"

Sparks flew between the two women. Lily was the first to be outmatched, and was hit in the chest by a gunshot, flying backward.

"Cough...blood?" Lily, who had fallen to the ground, coughed up a mouthful of blood. The attack hadn't been severe, but it was the first time Lily had ever coughed up blood from an injury. Her pupils dilated slightly, and fear gradually spread along with the numbness in her chest.

"Dumb tape meow... I didn't even use any force meow."

Lily felt dizzy, her vision blurred, and her ears were ringing...

Within the empty world, a voice familiar to Lily rang out.

What are you afraid of?

"I... I think I'm going to die."

"Death? Is it that scary?"

"But, I...it hurts so much."

"There must be things more terrifying than death."

"..."

The divine object that made her soul tremble resurfaced in her memory.

"Remember, the real reason you yearn to become stronger."

"...The real reason?"

"Face your own heart... Lily Luca! No, it's me!"

"Yes, I want no one to dare bully me again! What useless porters! You can't do anything without Lily. I, Lily, am the true 'unsung hero' of the team. One day, 'Cookware Girl' will wear 'glass slippers' and become someone you can never reach! I will... climb step by step, to the very top!!!"

"Then... remember it quickly... the true power of the Palum race hidden within you!"

"It's... courage... courage!"

Lily swayed as she got up, a flash of bloodshot light passing through her eyes. She looked up, and in that instant, her past and present personalities and bodies overlapped.

Charles was also keenly aware of his current state.

Her level... or rather, the "vessel" from her soul, was temporarily elevated, and Lily actually inherited part of Finana's capacity.

"Fenana's 'courage' is to move forward..."

"Forward, towards our goal, 'Paradise'...the ideal land of 'Tirnano'!"

"This is the secret we've been waiting for..."

Lily staggered to her feet, gradually lowering her body as if she were sitting on a mount, the short gun in her hand emitting a hazy blue light.

At this moment, Finana unleashed her "Noble Phantasm"!

Anya gripped her spear tightly, equally nervous. At only 12 years old, she was far inferior to Finana in combat skills, and she knew very well how strong her "opponent" and "teacher" was.

Her palms were slightly sweaty. She pricked up her cat ears, curled her tail, assumed a hunting posture, and gently swayed her hips.

The setting sun at dusk dyed their figures red, just as it was about to engulf their frail bodies.

The spear pierced out with a thunderous roar.

"Remember this, this is the ultimate shot!"

A flash of cold light appeared first, followed by the spear thrusting out like a dragon...

The blue thrust shattered the air, crushing the inferior spear in Anya's hand and leaving a deep, bottomless dent in her makeshift armor.

The next second, the breastplate exploded into pieces, and Anya screamed in agony as she flew backward for more than ten meters before crashing heavily onto the steps of the city wall.

"Hey... are you alright?"

Lily and Finana seem to have entered a state of enlightenment.

Xia Er predicted that this was at least a Heaven-rank combat skill!

While complaining, he manipulated Lily's body and quickly came to Anya's side. He quickly checked her injuries; there was a large bruise on her chest, indicating that she had held back some of her strength.

He took out two "magical tangerines" from his reserves and stuffed them into Anya's mouth. The rich life force instantly filled and healed her wounds.

Just to be on the safe side, Charles also took one.

After releasing the possession, Ciel helped the two women sit down together with their backs against the rock wall.

A moment later, Anya slowly woke up. The instant she saw Ciel, she grabbed his trouser leg, tears and snot streaming down her face.

"Woo woo woo meow—boss~"

"What's wrong? Did it hurt?"

Anya raised her head, her pupils reflecting Ciel's imposing figure. She opened her mouth, trembling, and knelt on the ground, screaming, "Waaaaaah... Boss... I... I want to become stronger too!"

Chapter 74 Cats can do anything

"Coach, I want to learn how to use a gun!"

The sobbing abandoned cat revealed its innermost wish.

[The Goddess's Half Wheel] Anya, in the past, was just a "slowpoke" who followed behind her brother and only sang unpleasant songs.

Having relied on her older brother since childhood, she longs for a family. In the Freya Familia, the goddess and her brother are everything to her, and she strives to keep up with him and avoid being left behind.

Together they overcame the cruel trials, but no matter how hard Anya tried, she could not catch up with her brother (Alan).

Until one day, Anya almost died on the battlefield where "the weak cannot survive".

At that moment, Alan had his back to her, and his heartless voice shattered Anya's only remaining bond:

"Please let that guy leave the battlefield where the weak can't survive, leave my world. I will also sever ties with that slowpoke. I have you, my goddess, that's enough. I promise you this. So—"

That day, the goddess's "half-wheel" disappeared, and the "chariot" appeared.

Anya was "abandoned" by both the goddess and her brother, becoming a homeless "abandoned cat." Later, she met Seele and seemed to have gained a new "family."

but……

Because I was too weak, my brother and the goddess abandoned me...

This idea had been lingering in Anya's mind.

Anya is an idiot... She believes she's less capable than her brother, so she completely gave up after being abandoned. Naturally, she spends her days slacking off and sunbathing, forgetting her goal of becoming stronger.

Until now...

"If it's a boss, it can definitely help the cat. Even a big bundle can be 'swept' into something super...super strong, so a cat can too!"

Anya has a dream!

She wanted to crush that bastard brother of hers, make him cry and admit he was wrong, and then beg Anya to become his family again!

Things that might have been unthinkable before, are now a reality for Anya.

In just one day, "Big Bag Red Eyes" suddenly became stronger! He was already able to defeat Anya.

Anya's first thought was that she was indeed very useless, and then she realized that the key was her boss.

"The cat can only rely on you now, meow!" Anya hugged Charles's leg again.

Once Anya learns that incredible marksmanship, she will definitely become super strong!

"But why should I help you? I brought you out to slack off, and you fight me. Isn't that a clean break?" Charles covered his face.

Anya stood with her hands on her hips, twitching her ears: "As the leader of the cats, isn't it a matter of course to help my little brothers improve their hunting skills, meow?"

She swished her tail, jumped up, and hugged Charles's head: "And meow, the boss looks a lot like the clan leader, meow, he must need a lot of mates, meow. I'm sorry to Seele, but as long as I can become stronger, I'll do anything, meow!"

Charles was shocked: "What are you doing, you idiot! Besides, if you want to get stronger, where do you find the time? If you keep skipping work, aren't you afraid of being punished by Mia's mother?"

Anya's face turned pale: "Whoa!"

Seemingly thinking of something terrible, she stared at Charles: "Boss, you must have a way, right!"

……

The top floor of the Tower of Babel.

Freya tapped her fingers rapidly on the table, her face full of impatience.

Helen's magic suddenly stopped working, which caused her ability to impersonate "Seele" to disappear as well. After an examination, it was found that there was nothing wrong with Helen's grace, so it must have come from something else.

The magic that was created suddenly disappeared—this has never happened before in the history of Orario.

Freya, having found nothing after several investigations, could only order her to rest well and to let her know if there was any change in the situation.
