After being reborn, I was turned into a slave girl by a princess.

"How...how could it be so fast? And I didn't sense a trace of magic!"

Like the demons of Candel, although they are physically strong, they still use magic to enhance their attacks.

However, Zi Jin's attack was completely uneventful—she did not use any magic from beginning to end.

Therefore, the girls, including Bai Yelianlan, were all somewhat surprised by Zi Jin's strength.

Only Yicheng stood silently to one side, without uttering a word.

She seemed to have noticed something, but didn't say anything... Seeing Izumi-senpai's reaction, Elusia, while pondering, also seemed to understand something.

……

"Zi Jin... indeed, she's a formidable opponent. Even without the Annihilation Sword, she's still so powerful."

"Then...then Elusia, we..."

"This person must have merged with the last vestiges of their life force to stand before us. In that sense, she's practically cheating."

"The last will of life? Then..."

Lornish does possess the power of Rainbow Abyss, and could try using her soul to counterattack. However, she doesn't know if that would be considered a violation of the rules.

"No, it's not certain if Little Fool goes up there. Lonnie, you should have White Coconut go."

"ah?!"

Chapter 23 The Girl's Scheme

Lonnie was taken aback; she never expected that Elusia would send White Coconut to make a move.

after all……

Although she is also a successor of the Rainbow Abyss power, in terms of identity and status, Baiye is actually the girl who has the least connection with combat.

She was originally a service robot doll. The former Bai Ye didn't even have the ability to feel pain or shed tears; she needed batteries to operate, making her vastly different from a human.

.

It was only after merging with the power of the Tree Abyss that she gradually came to appreciate the beauty of being a living being.

Even so, Bai Ye mainly does logistical work. In her daily life, she just cooks and sweeps. In battle, she mainly relies on summoning plants to control her opponents and has never directly engaged in close combat with powerful enemies.

And now...

……

"White Coconut, would you like to try it?"

"Okay, leave it to me."

……

Although it was her first time fighting, Bai Ye showed no fear. She simply walked straight up to Zi Jin and said, "Senior Zi Jin, please give me your guidance."

"!"

……

And when he saw that his opponent was actually Bai Ye...

Zi Jin frowned slightly and turned to look at Lonnies... her sharp gaze seemed to pierce through the fox's disguise with its large ears, as if she wanted to directly expose Elusia hidden within.

However, since Baiye's participation did not violate the rules, Zijin can also accept the challenge:

"Alright, White Coconut, then please guide me."

……

White Coconut has made its move.

However, her punches were unremarkable, seemingly only at the level of Su Ling's usual silly antics with Lonnie.

Such an attack posed no threat to Zi Jin whatsoever; the purple-haired girl easily dodged it with a simple flick.

only……

Zi Jin's attack, however, was also ineffective.

That lightning-fast attack should have hit Bai Ye instantly... but the result was completely unexpected.

Although Bai Ye's dodges seemed somewhat slow, each time she seemed to be able to easily judge Zi Jin's attack method, and she had already dodged before her opponent made a move!

And every time Bai Ye dodged, it was done perfectly. She didn't waste a single spare moment, and she wasn't confused by Zi Jin's feints at all.

Although it seemed to be constantly suppressed and in grave danger, a closer look would reveal that Baiye was actually cooperating with Zijin's attack, putting on a "performance".

Every attack was perfectly timed, and every block was flawless.

What exactly is going on?

Many of the girls, including Lonnies, were somewhat dumbfounded.

However, Elusia scoffed inwardly and mocked Lonnie:

……

"Hmph, you foolish fox. Haven't you noticed yet? The similarity between the white coconut and the purple hibiscus."

Similarity...

"Yes, their attack methods don't entirely follow human characteristics. Like Diya, they react in advance."

"What?!"

……

Lonnie was taken aback, only then noticing that both Zi Jin and Bai Ye's fighting styles were full of "computational power".

Or rather, they are able to determine the opponent's weakest point of attack by observing their gaze or even the fluctuations in the air, and use their superhuman strength to react instantly.

This fighting style is very much like two perfect robots battling.

They countered each other's moves, and because their reaction speed took precedence over their physical movement, they never revealed any weakness no matter how they attacked.

However, if we consider it this way...

"Wait, Elusia? So, does that mean Zi Jin is also a robot?"

"Not a robot, but a special kind of being that exists somewhere between a machine and a human, and whose existence is currently undefined."

"! 』

"Just watch, Zi Jin has been attacking for so long without success, she'll definitely change her tactics."

……

……

Elusia's prediction was correct.

Sure enough, after the stalemate, Zi Jin's eyes lit up, as if the previous battle was just a test, and her speed increased dramatically!

The sudden change in speed seemed to be beyond Bai Ye's comprehension—although the little doll tried to dodge to the side, Zi Jin's fist had already struck it!

……

"White coconut!"

"be careful!"

……

Seeing that Bai Ye was about to be knocked away by Zi Jin, the girls were all sweating bullets for her.

However, they were unharmed.

Although Zi Jin's attack was incredibly precise, and the force of her punch was enough to send the boulder flying, when that force hit Bai Ye, it was as if she had hit a ball of cotton, disappearing without a trace.

……

No, it doesn't seem like...

Instead, it's just a ball of cotton.

Although the girls were fighting on the front lines throughout the journey, it seemed that Baiye was just doing odd jobs.

But Baiye is also quietly growing and improving in its own way.

Most importantly, in her spare time she would go to find Ji Zhiye and learn the "Tree Life Body" technique that Ji Zhiye was so proud of.

A powerful hammer might shatter an iron plate, but it might be powerless against flexible vines.

Everything in nature

They represent different directions of life's evolution. Learning from their strengths and applying them to oneself is the unique growth of the white coconut.

……

Therefore, although Bai Ye's strength and speed were not as fast as Zi Jin's, she seized this rare opportunity and shouted:

"Miss Zijin, I'm going to fight back."

"!"

"Swing a punch!"

……

Pfft!

Zi Jin's body was hit by Bai Ye.

Although the attack wasn't particularly powerful, the small fist did indeed dig deep into Zi Jin's skin, causing her 1 point of damage.

and so……

"A human transformed from a doll? How interesting... In a way, you should be my opposite."

Facing the light green-haired doll before her, Zi Jin suddenly smiled and said, "Alright, I'm very satisfied with this competition. You can pass through here now."

……
