Artemisia scanned her physical condition with her Free Domain and found that her strength, speed, and nerve reaction ability had all decreased significantly, and even her voice had become childish.
Seeing that Seven Sins looked completely indifferent, Artemisia gripped the hilt of her sword tightly and rushed forward at lightning speed. In an instant, blood flowed from Seven Sins' abdomen.
Seven Sins' eyes widened in disbelief. What had just happened? The burning sensation from her chest to her abdomen caused her strength to slowly drain away, and she began to fall backward.
The seemingly invincible counterfeit witch appeared to have little effect on Artemisia.
Feeling the pain in her abdomen, Seven Sins raised her blood-soaked hand, and a sharp pain surged through her.
"Aaaaaaah! No way, what is this?!"
A pitiful scream echoed through the jungle, and intense pain relentlessly assaulted Seven Sins's brain.
That attack was unstoppable; there wasn't even time to activate the protective shield.
Artemisia, lightsaber in hand, looked sharply at her palm and confirmed:
"Didn't hit a vital spot? I see. It seems the power has indeed weakened."
After speaking, Artemisia emitted a faint light and instantly returned to her original form.
Did the Seven Sins' injuries cause their spiritual power to fail, thus dispelling the effects of the Fake Witch?
"Has it been restored to its original state?"
"Help! No! Let me go!"
"Don't worry, it'll be over soon. Just in case, let's cut off your hands and feet first!"
Artemisia said coldly as she slowly walked towards the injured Seven Sins.
Seven Sins shook her head and kept backing away, trying to escape with the help of the fake witch, but the pain in her abdomen made it impossible for her to use the angel, and she could only watch helplessly as Artemisia got closer and closer.
To Seven Sins, Artemisia's footsteps sounded like a countdown to death. Resigned to her fate, she could only close her eyes and await her destiny.
5.2 hours had passed, but Seven Sins felt no pain and cautiously opened his eyes.
A petite yet incredibly valiant figure stood in front of him, her golden eyes inspiring awe, and she held aloft a sword longer than his own height.
Qi Zui was shocked to discover that the one protecting her was none other than Mo Li, who had been constantly teasing her recently.
"Are you alright, Seven Sins?!"
"Why would you... I did such terrible things to you!"
"Hmph, I'll settle those scores with you later, but for now, I have even less faith in this person in front of me."
Mo Li snorted coldly, holding the Blade of Rebellion and staring intently at the other party. Is he from DEM?
"You look like a new face. You don't happen to claim to be the strongest in the world like Eren, do you?"
"Demon King? You're a bit different from the information. Oh well, let me see just how powerful this man who can defeat Allen really is!"
Chapter 165 If everyone else abandons you, please rely on me.
Artemisia looked at the boy in front of her with disdain, and couldn't help but chuckle. She couldn't believe that Allen had been defeated by him several times.
Mo Li could sense Artemisia's disdain for him, and he sighed helplessly.
His appearance was indeed quite deceptive; no matter how you looked at him, he was just a seven or eight-year-old boy.
"Seven Sins, just bear with it a little longer, this guy will finish her off in three moves!"
"Heh, arrogant and conceited. Even Allen wouldn't dare say he could defeat me in three moves. With your current state, you're laughable!"
"Oh dear, it seems I've been underestimated. It's all your fault, Seven Sins!"
Mo Li turned around and complained helplessly to Qi Zui. He didn't want to fight like this either.
Taking advantage of Mo Li's moment of turning around, Artemisia launched a surprise attack, slashing at Mo Li.
Seven Sins was about to speak up to warn him, but it was too late; Artemisia had already arrived in front of Moli.
Seeing that Mo Li was about to die on the spot, Qi Zui was so frightened that he immediately closed his eyes.
With a "clang," Seven Sins cautiously opened one eye and found that Mo Li was still in the same position, looking back, with the same smile, and blocked Artemisia with one hand.
"Sneak attacks are a bad habit, it's so tasteless!"
"Stop making so much noise! You lot, go and arrest the witch! Leave the Demon King to me!"
Artemisia directly ordered the remaining DEM magicians in the sky to capture the Seven Sins.
Mo Li sneered. Does she really think she's a child? I protected her from the Seven Deadly Sins. Even Jesus can't take her away. I said it.
A slash was launched from the Blade of Rebellion, but it was blocked by Artemisia in time with her Free Domain.
"Tch, just as I expected, this body..."
Just as Mo Li was complaining about the weakening of his spiritual power, a faint light emanated from his body, restoring him to his original state. Meanwhile, Qi Zui, clutching his wound, looked at Mo Li with relief.
As expected, the Demon King's form is the most powerful.
Mo Li nodded to Qi Zui, looking at her constantly furrowed brows, and said:
"While I cannot heal your wounds, I can certainly alleviate your pain, Po Jun Diva - Requiem!"
A ring of piano keys appeared around Mo Li. After Mo Li finished playing, Qi Zui was surprised to find that his wounds didn't hurt as much, and he was about to thank him.
But then Mo Li had already charged into the battlefield alone, and in no time at all, he had shot down all the magicians in the air.
Artemisia also paid a heavy price for her underestimation.
The casual domain she trusted was utterly vulnerable in Mo Li's eyes, and her prized tactical display device, Arondette (Lancelot), proved particularly fragile under the weight of the Blade of Rebellion.
"What? I thought you were so great, but it seems you're just trash!"
"Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it! Don't underestimate me, you mere demon king..."
Before she could finish speaking, Artemisia was slashed on the arm by Mo Li, then on her thigh, face, and wrist, all of which bled profusely. If the fight continued, she might bleed to death.
Artemisia clearly realized this as well. After withstanding Mo Li's heavy blow, Artemisia coughed up blood, but this also created distance between them.
At this moment, she ignored her colleagues on the ground, clutched her injured area, and flew away into the distance.
Mo Li smiled. This wasn't even a real fight; it was just a warm-up exercise.
He picked up the heavily injured Seven Sins and flew towards Fraxinus at an extremely fast speed.
Looking at the sleeping Seven Sins in his arms, Mo Li smiled. Sure enough, the real Seven Sins was the cutest.
After handing her over to Murasame Reine, Shiori, Tohka, Yuzuru, and the others were also teleported up.
"Mo Li, you... you've returned to normal!"
"You've gone too far, darling. How could you hurt such an adorable girl like Seven Sins so badly?"
"I didn't do this to her, Kotori. Have you found out anything about that person?"
"Yes, Artemisia Bell Ashcroft joined DEM after Mana Takamiya left DEM and replaced Mana as DEM's Adeptus2."
On Fraxinus's main screen, information about Artemisia was displayed.
Her original unit was the Special Magic Service Team, and she only recently joined DEM Company, unaware of what had happened during that time.
"I know this person. Artemisia was stronger than me, but that was in the past."
Mana pointed at the screen and said that since she had worked at DEM for a while, she was quite familiar with some of the stronger magicians.
Mo Li rubbed his chin. He naturally wouldn't take an opponent of this level seriously. What he was concerned about was whether DEM's expansion meant something big was about to happen.
Mo Li's intuition told her that there was definitely a conspiracy involved, and since it concerned everyone's safety, she had to be careful.
At that moment, Reine walked over from the infirmary, nodded to Kotori, and said:
"Seven Sins has woken up, Mo Li, she wants to see you!"
"Uh, me? Okay, I'll be right back!"
Mo Li greeted everyone and then quickly walked towards the infirmary.
Pushing open the door, Qi Zui lay pale on the hospital bed, staring blankly at the ceiling. Only after hearing the noise from the door did he turn his head and silently look at Mo Li who walked in.
"Yo, Seven Sins, you're awake!"
Mo Li stepped forward and gently called her name.
The current state of Seven Sins is completely different from her previous appearance. Her short body, slender limbs, and pale face all indicate that Seven Sins is in a very bad state.
Don't look here!
Seven Sins seemed to hate the way Mo Li looked at her, so she threw a rag doll over to her, which Mo Li caught casually.
The two were speechless for a moment before Seven Sins slowly spoke:
"Why...why...did you save me?"
"I can't just watch you get killed by her, after all, you're someone I've taken a liking to!"
"What nonsense are you spouting? I transformed into your appearance and made your companions disappear. I've done so many terrible things, so why, why did you save me?"
"To be honest, I was really angry about you shrinking me, but after learning about your background, I realized that you just wanted others to care about you!"
Mo Li's words pierced through Qi Zui's heart, and the girl, who was extremely insecure, already had tears in her eyes.
The sensitive Seven Sins could tell that Mo Li's words came from the heart, but this only made her feel more ashamed.
"What a joke! I won't be fooled by your sweet talk. When we first met, you only complimented me because of my appearance, right? If I showed my true face, would you still react that way? No way, you wouldn't even acknowledge me!"
"How could that be? I never judge people by their appearance!"
"It's true! Before, when people here saw me like this, they wouldn't even acknowledge me!"
Seven Sins' tone became incredibly sorrowful in that instant, as if he were a pathetic child, giving up on himself.
Mo Li shook his head. Qi Zui had a great aversion to his appearance and even went so far as to use his spiritual power to cover it up. This guy had suffered a lot of discrimination in the past.
"Hey, Seven Sins!"
"What's wrong with you? Laugh all you want, I'm used to it anyway!"
Even if everyone in the world dislikes you, I will still stand before you, so please feel free to rely on me.
Chapter 166 Seven Sins Regains Confidence, Mo Li's Methods
Upon hearing Mo Li's words, Qi Zui's face flushed slightly, and he immediately turned his head to the side.
Suddenly, Mo Li thought of a place that would definitely suit the Seven Deadly Sins, and said:
“Seven Sins, stay like this and come with me somewhere; you’ll definitely be welcomed.”
"Hey, wait, wait a minute, I haven't agreed yet, you bastard Mo Li!"
Mo Li always does what comes to mind without hesitation, and immediately pulled Qi Zui out.
Seven Sins showed great resistance; right now, she just wanted to be alone and didn't want to see anyone.
No matter how much Mo Li tried to persuade her, Qi Zui shook her head and refused. Sensitive at heart, she didn't want to see anyone at this moment, especially those who might hurt her.
Left with no other choice, Mo Li had to forcibly carry the Seven Sins on his shoulder and fly out of Fraxinus with her.
Those inside the warship also witnessed this scene, and Shiori appeared somewhat worried.
"I hope she's alright. Seven Sins is still injured!"
"Don't worry, Mo Li has his reasons for doing this, and I believe him!"
"That's true. Perhaps Mo Lizhen has a way to change the Seven Sins."
Mo Li's idea was simple: take Qi Zui to Akihabara, where she remembered there was an exhibition area exclusively for lolicon. Qi Zui's appearance alone would surely make her a hit.
Not long after, the two landed in a deserted corner of Akihabara.
Looking at the bustling scene before her, Qi Zui trembled uncontrollably, feeling particularly insecure.
After all, the harm caused to her by people in the past was too great, which made it impossible for Seven Sins to communicate with people without transforming.
Gradually, he became withdrawn and developed severe paranoia.
What I need to do now is help her regain her confidence, so that people will like her even if she is just her true self.
Mo Li, holding Qi Zui's hand, strode into the crowd.
Seven Sins gripped Mo Li's trouser leg tightly with both hands, lowered his head, and dared not look into the eyes of others.
This is understandable, as the only person who could give her a sense of security was Mo Li.
This combination of an adult and a child is extremely rare in Akihabara. Most people there are otaku who love games and anime, and it's rare for them to bring their families.
