The saintess I possessed had a head full of nonsense.

Unless the girl in black stockings pressed his head to the ground and used [Wave Burst], the most she could do was injure him from the impact. She probably had that intention when she approached him not long ago, but she could only use one more spell sign while using [Blessing of Courage] and [Gravity Sword]. With him using [Crimson Flame Axe], she chose [Laurent's Mind's Eye].

Lens felt a chill run down his spine. Now that the Crimson Flame Axe was on cooldown, if she found another opportunity to get close and unleash the Wave Burst, he would likely be injured and killed by her!

Fortunately, women have a few days each month when they need to metabolize their blood, something even a skilled healer can't avoid! — But men don't have a molting period!

"Little brother Xuan, we really can't beat him. Let's run!"

There's still a chance if you run now. If you can run a sufficient distance, he might not dare to continue chasing!

"Shall we go back? I really know I was wrong. From now on, I'll be your dog. I'll show you that kneeling down doesn't necessarily mean begging for forgiveness, and learning from mistakes doesn't always mean you've learned a lesson. Of course, I'll do both begging for forgiveness and learning from mistakes."

There's no such thing as a quick, decisive breakthrough in the heat of battle. Don't forget, your sister Yueyue is a fool.

【.】

【Li Xuan! I'm so angry! @!】

【Isn't my life a life too?!】

[What heinous crime have I committed? I haven't killed anyone, I haven't stolen anything, I haven't broken the law. You were going to die anyway! I just moved it forward by a few days! You still died a happy death. Even if I did something wrong, it didn't warrant death, did it?]

But no matter whether Jiang Yueyue begged for mercy or cursed angrily, she received no response.

Instead, she felt a strange sensation in her body and mind.

clang!clang!clang!

The sound of the collision between the Shadowless Sword and the flying axe seemed to echo from several layers of space and time. The intense pain in her body seemed to vanish at this moment, and her surging blood was boiling in every corner of her body. Her soaring fighting spirit made her seem like a sharp sword at this moment!

Another last-minute breakthrough?

No, it's still far from that. The spell seals I possess show no signs of activation, and the spell seals I don't possess show no sign of forming.

This is just a silent film performed by her alone.

It caught fire, but didn't fully ignite.

Success is called a breakthrough in the face of battle; failure is just impotent rage.

Jiang Yueyue believes she is the latter, as she has also experienced extreme anger that caused her pain.

"Die!" Lens grinned maliciously and threw the axe again.

Buzzing sounds!

Another burst of energy rippled through the air, sending the two flying axes flying one after the other. The girl in black stockings was forced to kneel on one knee, her whole body trembling.

"Good!" Luns laughed loudly, grabbing the spinning axe with both hands, his eyes flashing with a fierce light.

[Volatility Burst] has re-entered cooldown, [Laurent's Mind's Eye] is still on cooldown, and she can no longer revive!

【It’s over! 】

Jiang Yueyue felt a sudden darkness before her eyes. Just as she was about to lash out, amidst the deafening roar of the erupting shockwave, she heard her lips moving:

"The first person you deceived in 'The Pretender' was yourself."

【The Imposter】- When your behavior is logical to a certain extent, those who follow you will not have any thoughts of verifying the truth or falsehood.

Those who pay attention to Jiang Yueyue certainly include herself.

She believed she lacked talent, and her body would deceive her, causing her to abruptly stop every time she tried to cultivate!

Why would she feel that she lacks talent?

Li Xuan's words struck Jiang Yueyue like a thunderbolt, piercing the depths of her heart.

Suddenly, her vision seemed to split.

Half of it was that damned enforcer, Rons, and the other half was her life, where she had to fight tooth and nail just to catch up with others at the starting line.

At that moment, Jiang Yueyue realized what was happening.

When she saw Zhang Qingyue, one of her current best friends, she knew that this was the person she wanted to become.

The girl named Zhang Qingyue was too dazzling. After entering Holy Sword University, she quickly became a sorcerer. During the period of her spell seal explosion, she could easily create many spell seals. Jiang Yueyue, on the other hand, was inferior to others. She came from a poor family and had only average academic talent since childhood. Faced with such a favored girl, she could do nothing but feel jealous and envious.

This sense of disparity had been building up within her before she became a sorcerer and obtained the [Imitator]. The moment she received the [Imitator], before she even had a chance to test her sorcerer talent, she had already deceived her own body.

A girl with such a background possessing only ordinary magical talent already satisfies the "certainty to a certain extent" requirement of the [Imitator].

"You've put a shackle on yourself."

"You deceived your body, but now, this is my body!"

The girl in black stockings suddenly lunged at Lens.

"court death!"

Crimson Flame Axe!

At this moment, there was no [wave burst], no [Laurent's Mind's Eye], only living towards death!

The spell seal isn't dead, it's just cooled down.

Two spell signs that have fallen into cooldown can still be fused together to create a new, usable advanced spell sign.

The crimson flames were scorching hot, burning her blood and thoughts!

In that instant, the structures of the three spell seals—[Laurent's Mind's Eye], [Sword Slash Technique], and [Gravity Sword]—unfolded layer by layer in her eyes.

Laurent's defensive parrying stance suddenly created many afterimages in her eyes. It was a perfect defensive posture that allowed her to quickly switch actions after blocking, or even launch a counterattack!

But not enough.

This is just without the "post-rock".

In the instant of defense, the mass of the gravity sword is modified to an imaginary negative number, and the body rotates in the direction the blade is struck. Then, the mass of the gravity sword is constantly switched to ensure that the body will never lose balance while maintaining high speed. Finally, the mass of the gravity sword is transformed into an imaginary supermassive mass to launch the strongest and fastest counterattack!

This is Laurent's sharp eye!

Laurent's Mind's Eye Knife

Limitation: Must be fully focused

Effect: Parries any substantial attack up to 180% of the user's own spell power output and instantly performs a counterattack with a sword strike equal to 20% of the user's spell power output plus 90% of the enemy's spell power output.

With a flash of sword light, Lens's head was severed!

"Jiang Yueyue, congratulations on officially becoming a sorcerer today."

"Are you ready for your spell power surge?"

"Oh, sorry, I got too caught up in the role. You're just a toy to me."

Chapter 24 Authentic Materials

Jiang Yueyue's current feelings are as complicated as a primary school student who has lost 200 yuan and is being beaten by both parents, only to suddenly discover that the 200 yuan was under the bed.

"Regardless of family background, everyone is a dragon" is the motto of Holy Sword University. Private clothes, cosmetics, jewelry and other items are also prohibited by school rules. However, everyone's identity is always accidentally exposed. When she came to her senses, Jiang Yueyue found that she had entered a circle of socialites in Noxace City!

As Li Xuan said, because of her extreme inferiority complex, the "pretender" deceived her, making her believe that she was ordinary.

But she hasn't lost yet. If her magic talent isn't enough, then she'll rely on social skills. [The Imposter] is the last window that God opened for her.

Driven by vanity, her pretense before awakening as the "Impersonator" led others to secretly speculate about which wealthy family's young lady she was.

To maintain her mystique, she occasionally appeared outside of school, casually displaying her expensive clothes and jewelry. To win the heart of Gu Qingchi, the wealthy heir of the [Heavenly God Group], she meticulously planned the most beautiful encounter, even enduring initial embarrassment by watching various short videos. To match her status as a sorcerer, she exhausted her family fortune to purchase sorcerer treasures.

Thanks to [The Imposter], everything went surprisingly smoothly.

Jiang Yueyue once believed that her true talent lay here, and that she was a genius in this area!

Now she's just one step away from her first huge success—becoming Gu Qingchi's girlfriend!

But now, living like a lowly person, she suddenly discovers that she is actually a born swordsman.

No way! I don't want to win the lottery when I'm about to succeed after working hard for half my life!

"Holy Light, be with you."

Pure white light fell as the saintly chanting rang out like wind chimes.

Li Xuan suddenly opened his eyes and found that Jiang Yueyue's head was resting on Saint Christine's white silk-clad legs, and the [Light Healing Technique] was continuously healing her body.

How could there be such a perfect shape? This isn't something I'd eat shit for!

This isn't a pad; it's something I modeled. And you can't eat poop, because if you eat it now, it's the same as me eating it.

Jiang Yueyue may not be fully aware that she will hear most of her innermost thoughts.

[Help Jiang Yueyue verify whether Christine used a pad or not. Completing this event will reward you with 1 Sorcerer's Orb (Small)]

When Li Xuan realized what was happening, he found that Jiang Yueyue's hand was already on it.

It's actually true!

Hey!

Why is the steering wheel still moving by itself even though I changed cars?

[Completed the event "Genuine Materials", obtained the Sorcerer's Orb (Small)]

Because the "behavioral aid" required confirmation from Li Xuan's subconscious, the event absurdly succeeded!

Her delicate body trembled slightly, and Li Xuan quickly let go. He had already envisioned a scene: Saint Christine, through this action, suspected that Jiang Yueyue was also a cultist of the "Cult of Lust," and then, as a matter of course, she would pack her up and take her away, dress her in leather, and wield a whip, to take back everything that Alice had lost from Jiang Yueyue.

The return of the Dragon Queen, comparable to the legendary female dragon queen of the erotic world!

hiss!

That Holy Maiden of Imperial Beauty, whose head is full of nonsense, actually did it!

"Ah~"

Saint Christine exclaimed in surprise, her cheeks slightly flushed, and said softly, "You're awake? The treatment was very successful. You're still a beautiful girl."

So this is how Miss Saintess acts in public? Li Xuan stared at that exquisitely beautiful and gentle face, feeling only—a little disgusted.

Damn it, he could no longer look this imperial beauty in the eye.

Compared to her superficial act, Li Xuan was more inclined to believe that all she could think about right now was hanging Jiang Yueyue's body up and unlocking the defeat CG scene just like her—after all, her black stockings already had holes.

[What? Taking advantage of a woman's body and the debt of being saved to grope her? I thought he was some kind of upright gentleman, turns out he's just a little pervert.]
