"whispering sound!?"

Mo Yueya immediately pushed Li aside, then lowered his Demon Eye to block them. Of the three bullets, only one was blocked by Mo Yueya; the other two struck his left shoulder, piercing through it. He endured the excruciating pain, pulled Li to his feet, and ran away.

Three more shots followed. Hervia's three bullets exploded against the wall formed by the Black Raven, the shockwaves pushing the two apart. Black Raven gathered his magic in his right hand; while he couldn't do what the warriors could, it was more than enough to punch a hole through it. He punched with all his might, destroying the wall, and then ran inside with Li.

As soon as the two ran inside, the wall formed by Mo Yueya had already been breached by her, and she immediately chased after them. From now on, they would be escaping from inside the cabin. Their current location was the living area, which was very advantageous for Mo Yueya and her companions' escape because there were many different types of areas and obstacles, as well as many paths to take.

Mo Yueya ran ahead, while the other Mo Yueya gathered here to protect Li. He fought with his still-usable right hand, and fortunately, most of the enemies here were just grunts, which he could still handle. Mo Yueya kept choosing advantageous routes to escape, while also keeping an eye on Li's condition and Hevia chasing from behind.

If it weren't for the advantageous situation here, he wouldn't have been able to restrain Hevia. Constantly changing his route made it difficult for Hevia to aim at the two of them. Under these circumstances, she could only choose to chase and use her musket to slow them down.

He used everything around him to create obstacles for Hevia, as his left shoulder was bleeding continuously and he was beginning to show signs of anemia. However, according to the map he had memorized, there was still some distance to the stern of the ship, so he just needed to hold on a little longer.

Bang bang bang!

Three bullets were fired in quick succession. The three overlapping bullets struck the obstacle, one of which lost momentum after breaking through the obstacle and fell to the ground. The second bullet was blocked by Mo Yueya using his black crow, and the third bullet pierced his thigh.

"Well--!?"

"Mo Yueya?!" Hearing Mo Yueya's muffled voice, she turned around to look at him with concern.

"Never mind that! Keep running! Don't stop! You're distracting me!" Mo Yueya scolded her.

He gave her a push from behind, forcing her to keep running. Gunshots rang out, bullets whizzing past her. The effects of the erotic runes were growing stronger; the two siblings must have done something to her. There was nothing Li could do to help; she could only run as fast as she could. Just like in the maze, she could do nothing but be the one being protected.

Think about it, think about it! What can you do?! Besides running faster, what else can you do?! That's it—!

"Mo Yueya!" Something came to mind.

"What are you doing!?" Mo Yueya's tone became much rougher because his attention had been diverted.

"follow me!"

"Huh?! You know the way?!"

"I don't know! But I know where we should go now!"

"Don't get us into trouble!"

Li had already run quite far ahead, and it was unclear where she got the strength to suddenly accelerate, but Mo Yueya had no choice but to catch up. Since she had said so, they could only hope that she could create some kind of miracle. The two ran out of the cabin, and at the same time, they saw Chaoyang and Chaoyin chasing after them from outside. Li completely ignored them and kept running. Mo Yueya took out the few homemade bombs she had left, lit them, and threw them out.

Bang Bang Bang!

Hervia fired three bullets from inside the cabin, knocking the homemade bomb away. Seeing that the attempt to restrain her had failed, Mo Yueya did not stop and immediately turned to chase after Li. She suddenly stopped and turned to look at Mo Yueya.

"Moyueya! Open it!" Li pointed to the wall.

A magic circle unfolded on the wall, magic gathered and exploded, and black magic blasted a hole in the wall, revealing what appeared to be a research lab. In this room, a box rushed out and swallowed Li whole.

"Huh!?" Mo Yueya's jaw almost dropped.

"Calm down! It's me! Time to go!"

That's another Ritsu, the Ritsu of the Treasure Chest Monster. The Treasure Chest Ritsu has always been imprisoned in that place, and its condition isn't much better; it's also completely devoid of magic. However, at least it doesn't have as many negative buffs, and its defensive capabilities are probably among the best in this world. After Ritsu reunites with its original self, it can protect the Dragon King's Ritsu within its body, and it won't have to worry about suddenly becoming immobile due to the issue of the Lustful Mark.

However, the situation hadn't changed much; in fact, two more people had joined their pursuit, and they had to leave quickly. Without hesitation, Mo Yueya, recognizing the treasure chest monster, immediately led Li away.

Chapter 56 A desperate fight

"You two look really pathetic."

As soon as she met up with Chaoyin and Chaoyang, Hevia made sarcastic remarks about them.

Because it happened so suddenly, they chased after her wearing only the bare minimum of clothing, and they still are. What infuriates them most is that no matter how much they intensify their control over the collar and the erotic markings, that bitch just won't stop.

Just now, she even rejoined that box. Hervia's sniping was completely blocked by the box, with almost no attacks effective. In addition, the cunning young man was constantly interfering with them, so catching up would probably take a lot of effort.

The brother and sister remained silent, believing it was their own business and not wanting Hevia to interfere. Hevia had only intervened because she had spotted something suspicious and fired the gun; otherwise, she knew nothing.

She wasn't quite sure how the current situation came about. She had rushed over after hearing something collapse, and what happened after that was exactly what happened just now.

All three men shared the same conclusion: the other side had come prepared. Their orderly escape, unlike anything they'd done suddenly, coupled with their constant efforts to overcome obstacles along the way, suggested a possible traitor within the army.

During this time, the traitor also made various preparations, which were so thorough that even the Gods of Punishment found them troublesome. Chaoyang and Chaoyin could only watch their backs with annoyance.

“Hervia, go back,” Chaoyang warned. “This is our business, it’s none of your concern.”

"~?" Hevia whistled sarcastically. "Let's just say that's how it is."

Hevia never cared about their affairs in the first place; intervening was merely an obligation. Since they had said not to interfere, she couldn't be bothered with it. She put away her gun and leisurely walked back, her indifferent attitude completely unlike that of someone treating their companions.

"Brother, we're going to lose them," Chao Yin urged.

"--Chase!"

The two started off together, and their speed increased significantly with the blessing of the Holy Sword. The fact that their Holy Sword lacked effective ranged attack methods to pursue them was a major headache for them, making it impossible to effectively slow them down.

Li ran closely following Mo Yueya's footsteps. She could gradually see a huge magical circle and a strong magical light. That was the stern of the ship. They were almost there, just a little bit more.

“Hahahaha…”

Having lost too much blood, Mo Yueya was beginning to show signs of weakness. His steps gradually slowed down, and bright red blood dripped from his hands onto the ground, leaving many bright red blood flowers.

Rin felt a pang of heartache just watching him, as if the torment her other self had suffered was nothing in comparison. Suddenly, Mo Yueya collapsed, and Rin rushed over to support him.

The Magic Eye, which is sometimes effective and sometimes malfunctioning, was unusually stable at this moment, allowing Li to see Mo Yueya's current state.

"What are you doing?" Mo Yueya propped herself up and stood up. "Keep running."

"What the hell are you running for?! You're in such a state, okay?!" Li yelled at him. "Get on top of the world, I'll take you with me!"

With HP at level four, the abnormal status being "Bleeding (Large) lv.max", and MP not much, how did he manage to survive?

"No need—" Mo Yueya said, forcing herself to stay, "You should go quickly."

"—! Are you kidding me?!" Ri immediately objected. "If you get caught here, you're dead meat!"

"That's about the same for you, isn't it?" Mo Yueya retorted confidently. "Believe me, you should leave now."

"I'd be a fool to believe you!"

Li couldn't possibly believe him. If he faced two Divine Punishers in this state, the outcome was predictable. Li didn't want to experience that feeling of grief and indignation again; no matter what, she had to save Mo Yueya.

"Tch... If we don't leave now, it'll be too late." Mo Yueya had already sensed that aura. "What are you dawdling for?! I don't need you playing the peacemaker right now! Hurry up and leave!"

Mo Yueya had reached his limit; he feared this was the furthest he could go. The Yin-Yang siblings were rapidly approaching, and another Divine Punisher was also on his way. If Li continued to delay like this, all his efforts would be in vain.

Rather than both of them dying here, it's better to rescue Li; she will definitely be the key to this war. She is far more important than Mo Yueya.

He couldn't be bothered with her stubbornness any longer, and simply blasted her away with magic, deliberately amplifying the power to send her far away. What would happen to her next, Mo Yueya didn't know, but he knew what he was about to do.

Boom-!

A tall, dark figure landed heavily on the ground next to Mo Yueya from above. He was carrying a huge red flag. He then straightened up from his crouching position and stood there like an immovable king.

"Yo—" Mo Yueya greeted him while pressing the wound on her shoulder, "Good evening, Zanaba."

“…Good evening, kid.” Zanoba looked down at Mo Yueya expressionlessly.

Mo Yueya knew; he knew Zanoba would definitely come. Zanoba had given him countless warnings and hints; he had always known, but he had to do it. The two were never meant to be; this was the inevitable outcome.

Chaoyang and Chaoyin had caught up from the other end. The two looked at Zanoba in surprise, then at the injured Moyueya, realizing that Li was no longer there. Zanoba gave them a look, and they nodded in understanding, preparing to pass by Moyueya and chase after her.

Where are you planning to go...?

bake--!

The black, translucent flames ignited without warning, and the scorching air made people stop in their tracks. The wounded and weak figure was nowhere to be seen. Mo Yueya had straightened up again and then took out the huge calligraphy brush.

Zanob narrowed his eyes. He could clearly sense that Mo Yueya's aura was completely different from before, even stronger than usual. The burning, translucent black flame was Mo Yueya's magic.

Because of the unique characteristics of Mo Yueya's magic, he was unable to perform the magic burning ability, which enhances magic for a short period of time. However, he did it at the last moment, successfully burning his last bit of magic to gain this moment of power.

"Why are you in such a hurry to leave?" Mo Yueya pointed at them with her calligraphy brush. "This is my full strength. Don't you want to give it a try?"

Chapter 57 Breakthrough of Self

Another black, translucent flame erupted on the burning mothership. At the same time this flame appeared, countless black crows also underwent a strange change; they too became transparent, and black flames ignited on their bodies.

But overall, they had become stronger. The Black Crows stopped interfering with the mothership's interior and instead flew out in neat formation, gathering around the Black Moon Crows. These numerous Black Crows circling in the night sky were as spectacular as a black whirlwind.

Mo Yueya could clearly feel that she had become much stronger. Time was running out, and she didn't have time to wait for their answer, so she decided to strike first.

The crows screech as they swooped down from above, and Chaoyang immediately rushed to the front, using his black shield to hold back the black tide. Moyueya used his brush to draw several chimeras and threw them into the battle.

Two chimeras seized the opportunity and pounced on Chaoyang, just as they were about to tear him apart, Chaoyin shot them both in the head with a spear, and pulled up his brother in the process. The remaining chimeras all rushed towards Zanoba, who waved his flag spear as if he were playing around, parrying the chimera attacks.

"You two—go!"

Zanoba suddenly shouted, plunging his flag spear into the floor. A burst of golden light pushed all the chimeras away, and the light spread out, landing on Chaoyang and Chaoyin. Before they could rush up, Moyueya charged forward on his own.

Black ink spread rapidly from his feet to the feet of the brother and sister. The Black Moon Crow ran, stirring up black ink flowers, and rushed towards the two of them as if gliding.

"you wanna die--!"

Annoyed, Chaoyang steadied himself as soon as he saw the other charging at him, raising his shield to charge. Before Chaoyang could exert his strength, Moyueya slapped the shield with her palm, pushing herself back and not only avoiding the collision but also leaving magic on the shield.

The magic circle unfolded rapidly, but because it was a blind spot for Chaoyang, he couldn't see it unfolding. A mass of black ink appeared on his shield, rapidly compressed into a small sphere, and then exploded.

Even with a shield for protection, being hit by such a close-range explosion must be quite painful. Not only that, the black ink spread out due to the explosion, blurring the vision, and the black familiars blended into this natural cover to launch an attack on the enemy.

"drink--!"

Black ripples spread out with Chaoyang's low shout, shaking off Hei Mo and the familiar. Chaoyin seized the opportunity to break free from her brother's protection, her target being Moyueya, who was not far ahead of them.

Mo Yueya drew a black shield the same color as the rising sun, held it in his hand, and raised it. The tip of the white spear pierced the shield and shattered it, aiming straight for his heart. The broken black shield turned back into black ink, wrapping around the white spear and transforming into barbs that stabbed back.

Chao Yin was startled and immediately changed his attack method, spinning in place and sweeping away the black ink wrapped around his spear. At this moment, Mo Yueya also seized the slight opening, using his large brush as a spear to block Chao Yin's attack.

Unfortunately, Mo Yueya was no match for Chao Yin in strength. After a three-second stalemate, he was forced back. Chao Yin swung his spear and struck Mo Yueya in the waist, sending him flying. Mo Yueya had no time to defend himself; the blow nearly broke his spine.

The Black Moon Crow, sent flying, rolled in its own ink. It stopped, pressing its hands to the floor to connect with the black ink. The black ink continuously rose up black spikes to block the advance of the Yin. They had no way to deal with the attacks coming from their feet.

"Ink—! Moon—! Raven—!"

Zanoba roared excitedly as he leaped from behind, using the momentum from his run-up to soar high over the spikes and fly directly in front of Mo Yueya, attempting to pierce her with the tip of his flag spear.

The surging black ink pulled Mo Yueya back slightly, barely managing to avoid being pierced through in one blow. This person had actually broken through the encirclement of familiars and charged forward. Mo Yueya knew more than just this.

"Your opponent is here—!" Zanob's fist glowed with golden magical light.

Mo Yueya struggled to get up, but it was too late to defend himself. The punch landed on his chest, and the burst of magic shattered his ribs. With the excruciating pain of rib fragments piercing his lungs, Mo Yueya coughed up a large amount of blood.

"Cough, cough?!"

Mo Yueya staggered and tried to back away, but Zanoba didn't let him go. Zanoba grabbed his collar and pulled him back, delivering a heavy knee strike that forced out all the air mixed with blood.

Zanob released his grip the instant the kick landed, leaving Mo Yueya suspended in mid-air, before swinging his flag spear and slamming him to the ground. The force even pierced the floor, embedding Mo Yueya in it.

Despite the excruciating pain, Mo Yueya launched a counterattack, unleashing a black beam of magic that struck Zanoba, who was closest to him. Zanoba met the attack without fear, his smiling face visible in the black light.

Mo Yueya had managed to stand up by sheer willpower. He had pushed himself beyond his limits again. With his current body, he was no longer able to fight. He used magic to simulate organs and put them into his body to keep himself alive.

Upon witnessing this, Chaoyang and Chaoyin decided to bypass them and pursue Li directly. Mo Yueya no longer had the strength to stop them; blocking this madman was probably the last resort. From now on, Li would have to rely on herself.

"Drink up! Ahh ...

"Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh——————!"

The two unleashed a tremendous battle cry, their combined magical power forming a magical spiral that shot straight into the sky. Zanob's attacks remained as fierce as ever, and Mo Yueya countered with attacks that were in no way inferior to his.

The two were completely absorbed in the battle, just like the game of chess they had been playing these past two days, fighting back and forth. Zanoba punched Mo Yueya hard in the face, while Mo Yueya blasted it back with magic.

The battle between the two even engulfed the surrounding area, and everything caught in the fight was completely destroyed by the fierce battle.

boom--!

The black ink bell enveloped Zanob, trapping him inside. The Ink Moon Ravens gathered the ink bell, then unleashed a magical circle, slamming a black and white yin-yang seal into the bell and blasting it into the cabin. The Ink Ravens, as if acting on their own will, flew in pursuit of the direction the bell had disappeared.

"I knew I hadn't misjudged him! Mo Yueya!!"

Zanoba once again broke through these attacks and arrived directly in front of Mo Yueya. He seemed happy, yet also a little sad.

Chapter 58 'Ink Raven'

Using magic to form a blade of light, Mo Yueya met Zanoba head-on. As if responding to Zanoba's roar, Mo Yueya also charged out, flashing black light, but unable to cause any damage to Zanoba.

On the contrary, Zanoba relentlessly attacked Mo Yueya, each attack incredibly heavy. Each attack left afterimages, and with such a dense and rapid barrage of attacks, how did he manage to exert such immense power?

But Mo Yueya could not retreat; he had to continue to meet them head-on. This was the last thing he could do.

With brute force, Mo Yueya met Zanoba's raging onslaught, fighting him with all his might. At this point, he was unable to speak due to his lung injury, and what sustained him was his last bit of magic.

The black crows circled around him, cawing in place of his roar. Zanob's flag spear and the black crow's brush clashed incessantly. These strange weapons had endured to this day without showing any signs of damage, just as desperately as their master.

Time and again they changed positions, and Mo Yueya continued to attack. The flames of magic burned fiercely, and with his senses further enhanced, Mo Yueya was finally able to fight Zanoba to a standstill.
