Remove all restrictions and transform into a bizarre girl.

The eerie king on the throne stood up.

The King of Eeries moved faster than expected; the instant it stood up, it had already taken a step forward, followed by a second, a third…

With each step, she closed the distance between herself and Chen Nian and the others, her speed no less than her effortless gliding through the snow.

Chen Nian had been on guard against it for a long time.

The moment it came, it immediately withdrew from the battle in front of it.

She had already taken three steps back when the eerie king took its first step, moving her position from the center of the melee to a relatively open area.

Her movements were not disturbed by the retreating goblin minions. Her footwork, which left no trace in the snow, maintained a smooth rhythm as she moved, anticipating changes in the situation and making preparations before the pressure arrived.

The moment Chen Nian disengaged from the battle, she immediately said to the other girls beside her, "You guys hold them off, I'll take care of that weird king!"

Hearing this...

Fang Anya and the others immediately replied with a "yes".

The battle continues, but the pressure of direct confrontation will increase significantly without Chen Nian, a top-tier combatant.

Fang Anya, who had originally joined the battle, withdrew. She was also a Sequence Seven, and her main task from then on was to protect the other three girls from being ambushed while killing the monster.

The key to victory or defeat lies in when Chen Nian can kill this eerie king.

Chen Nian maintained a distance of about ten meters between herself and the Strange King in the center of the main battlefield.

We just had a brief confrontation.

It must be said that they are both at the peak of Sequence 7.

This strange king must have some skills to be able to become king.

At this moment, the eerie king stopped and did not continue its advance. It stood still and did not continue to attack. Instead, it adjusted the angle of its grip on the staff, changing the grip from vertical to a slightly forward-leaning position.

Chen Nian had already grasped the intention behind the strange king's action as he adjusted the angle of his scepter.

This movement looks like it's preparing to unleash a forbidden spell.

The light from the dark red crystal at the top of the scepter changed noticeably during the adjustment process, clearly indicating a buildup of power.

If we let it out, it will definitely cause a big problem.

She couldn't wait for it to finish charging up.

In that instant, Treading Snow Without Leaving a Trace switched from a standby state to full-speed advance.

Chen Nian charged forward along a slightly curved trajectory, not in a straight line, but with an arc-shaped angled cut.

This maneuver allows her to simultaneously deal with any potential frontal defense while retaining the leeway to turn to the side at any time.

The Miao sword left an icy blue trail beside her, whistling softly as it rubbed against the air.

The King of Eeries reacted the instant he saw her accelerate her charge.

The scepter tilted forward at a slightly greater angle, and the light at the top of the scepter changed from flickering to a continuously increasing brightness.

A dark red halo began to spread downwards along the surface of the scepter, forming a thin film of light on the scepter.

It is accelerating its energy accumulation, attempting to complete the energy buildup before Chen Nian arrives.

The front is where its defense is strongest.

However, Chen Nian knew about its defense mechanism when she fought the humanoid monster, so she changed her direction of movement when she was about five meters away from it.

Her slightly curved trajectory instantly straightened, shifting from a side cut to a frontal assault, while simultaneously adjusting the angle of her grip on the Miao sword.

The grip changes from horizontal to vertical, with the blade tip pointing forward, creating a close-range thrusting stance.

From this distance, she saw the light membrane on the scepter spreading rapidly, extending from the top to the bottom, as if it were about to reach the final stage of charging.

In that instant, the tip of the Miao sword had reached about half a meter in front of the scepter, and the cold air extended forward along the blade, forming an icy blue spike in front of the tip.

bang...

The spikes collided directly with the scepter.

The moment the spikes collided with the scepter, a noticeable shockwave spread outwards from the point of contact, whipping up dust and fine stone chips into a ring of dust.

Chen Nian felt a huge recoil force travel along the blade to her arm, making her hand go numb. But she didn't sheathe the blade; instead, she poured more ice energy into the tip.

Fortunately, this attack finally interrupted its charge.

In Chen Nian's opinion, no skill that requires charging up is acceptable unless there are a bunch of people protecting it and letting it unleash its skills.

If this eerie king had been hiding in the back and then unleashed this skill, Chen Nian really wouldn't have been able to do anything about it.

But now, it has taken the lead on its own.

Then Chen Nian will not stand on ceremony.

After the King of Eeries's charge was interrupted, large cracks appeared on the light membrane on the surface of the scepter, and dark red light continued to seep out from the cracks, like a punctured airbag gradually deflating.

It glanced down at the scepter, its body pausing briefly as if to confirm what had happened.

His eyes were filled with disbelief.

Then it raised its head, and the edge of the vertical crack opened slightly, revealing a brighter dark red light inside.

When Chen Nian saw it raise its head, she had already anticipated its next move.

Before that, she had already taken another step, changing her grip on the Miao sword from straight to horizontal, the blade drawing a horizontal arc in the air as it cut in from the side.

This time, Chen Nian was prepared to cut it in half.

The blade traced a near-perfect horizontal arc in the air, and an icy blue halo condensed on the blade into a thin, sharp film of light, cutting a brief white mark into the surrounding air.

It reacted just before being attacked.

Instead of trying to block, it took half a step back and tapped the ground with the base of its scepter.

Using the support of this point, I shifted my body backward by about half a meter.

But it wasn't fast enough to retreat, and Chen Nian's blade grazed its waist, cutting a gash about three fingers wide.

The moment the waist was cut open, a dull cracking sound was heard, like the sound of dry wood being split open.

Dark liquid seeped from the crack.

After successfully landing that strike, Chen Nian didn't pause. Using the momentum of the blade, she continued to slide forward, completing a quick turn on the ice membrane where snow left no trace.

This time, instead of attacking from the side, she directly approached the already injured waist of the Mysterious King, with a clear objective and without any unnecessary movements.

The King of Eeries did lose some speed after his waist was cut open, but he was not completely unable to fight.

As Chen Nian approached for the second time, it used its scepter to flick upwards from below, and the dark red crystal at the top of the scepter emitted a beam of light again as it moved.

And so a shield appeared in front of Chen Nian.
