Zero Succubus in the Territory: Starting with Apprenticeship to the Yi Xuan Sisters

Unlike Yi Xue, who was in shock, Fu Botuo slowly looked at his right arm, which had been severed by the sword. Thick, dark red blood gushed from the broken wound, and the twisted ether rapidly wriggled, pieced together, and reshaped itself. In just a few breaths, the severed arm was restored to its original state, without a trace of injury.

Fuboto glanced down at his regenerated arm. His scarlet vertical pupils showed no pain, but rather an intense fervor and excitement. He raised his head and stared intently at Yixue above him. The violent aura of ether around him surged layer by layer, causing the surrounding void to begin to show signs of disorder.

"He is the messenger of the First Lord."

"You are difficult to deal with right now, so please be careful. We will do our best to assist you."

The voices of the two dragons echoed in her mind, causing Yi Xue's expression to turn slightly serious. The envoy of the Primordial Lord...

In other words, the person standing before him, Fuboto, is his last boss.

He knew very well that if he were to be careless in the face of such an opponent, he would perish here today.

"That's a good move... but you must have other tricks up your sleeve, right?"

In stark contrast to him, Fu Boto let out a mocking laugh that was full of human nature, his tone arrogant and disdainful of all living beings, as if Yi Xue in front of him was not an enemy, but merely a convenient plaything.

Yi Xue took a deep breath, suppressing all distracting thoughts. With a gentle flick of her fingertips, she unleashed wisps of azure sword energy, which gently yet firmly supported all the defense soldiers remaining on the battlefield, pushing them all to safety until they were completely out of the reach of the battle.

Fubotto simply watched, without even considering stopping them. Perhaps in his eyes, those people's lives were as insignificant as ants.

Having cleared away any worries, Yi Xue slowly raised her eyes, her crimson gaze indifferently fixed on Fu Botuo before her. Her voice was clear and cold, filled with absolute confidence:

"What makes you think I only used one sword strike?"

As soon as the words were spoken, the sky shattered.

Countless brilliant and sharp azure sword intents tore through the dark sky, pouring down in dense, overwhelming waves, their power, sharpness, and weight far surpassing the previous sword strike that resembled a mountain.

This is his Heavenly Style: evil arises from distracting thoughts, good arises from a state of mind, evil is rectified, and biased forces are balanced—the sword of Heavenly Balance!

"The Sword of Heavenly Balance, when it is meant to be upright, will be upright!"

Fuboto roared to the sky, letting out a maniacal laugh that echoed across the land. The crimson ether around his body suddenly went berserk, and the thick, black armor on his body stretched taut, rubbing together and sparking densely packed sparks.

He neither retreated nor avoided, neither dodged nor hid.

The fighting instinct and fanatical pride etched deep within its core made it disdainful and unwilling to dodge, determined to confront the ultimate killing intent that spanned heaven and earth with its own body.

"Hahahaha, that's how it should be! That's how a battle should be!"

He laughed loudly, then leaped up and slammed his massive, blood-red fist into the rain of swords that filled the sky.

The attacks from other ants were too weak. Only such attacks were worthy of the death battle He envisioned, a battle that would not end until death. Only such battles could satisfy the desires in His heart. Let everything else go to hell!

Since drawing power from that core, His thoughts seem to have multiplied, but His view on battle has never changed.

The sword intents rained down relentlessly, and Yi Xue remained tense, not daring to relax for a moment. With each sword intent that fell, a new sword aura was immediately generated to fill the gap. The halo behind him spun like a rainbow, continuously absorbing the ether that was dissipating from the void for his own use. Yi Xue's body could not withstand his violent outpouring of power and gradually began to collapse.

But he dared not stop, determined to destroy the Fuboto before him, otherwise... the Zero Void would continue to expand like this, and then neither Weifeidi nor the entire world would be spared.

His consciousness began to fade. Even for someone as a perfect swordsman like him, operating the Azure Sea Sword beyond its limits was too much of a strain, and the side effects began to take effect. However, Yi Xue was no longer aware of these side effects at this point.

If this calamity had come a few years later, he would never have been in such a sorry state, and it's not impossible that he would have become a hero who completely eradicated the void.

Just then, a blinding red light shot out from the sky full of sword energy. Yi Xue saw clearly that it was a bright red core, beating in the air like a heart.

As the core approached Yi Xue, the crimson ether frantically grew, spread, and pieced together, reshaping the entire body from the core. In an instant, Fu Botuo's massive and imposing body was completely reshaped, intact, and even more powerful than before.

"Hey, are you kidding me?!"

The moment his body was reshaped, Fu Botuo grinned maliciously, and his scarlet giant fist, carrying a world-destroying force and the momentum of thunder, slammed fiercely towards Yi Xue!

Yi Xue quickly regained her senses and held her two swords in front of her to try to defend herself.

Not only Qingming, but also the Crimson Scale Short Blade was summoned by him. But at this moment, the dark red scabbard that was originally responsible for storing the Crimson Scale began to tremble. Layers of flowing light peeled away and melted away until it was completely integrated with the Crimson Scale. The original short blade began to extend inch by inch, and its sharpness was even greater than before.

The short blade vanished, and a new three-foot-long crimson blade was born. At this moment, there are no more crimson scales in the world, only the crimson sky remains!

So that's what the system meant by "surprise".

They were just bluffing me about unleashing a powerful attack!

Azure Sky and Crimson Sky unleashed their power, steadily parrying and pushing back Fu Botuo's attack. Fu Botuo showed no fear, directly meeting the sword with his fist. The resounding clang of metal clashing continued, sparks exploded through the black mist, and blood energy and sword energy clashed wildly.

In close combat, fighting within a small space, Yi Xue no longer had the skill to unleash her sword intent at such close range, and was forced to engage in close combat with Fu Botuo. Fu Botuo was a melee strength-type warrior, but close combat was also Yi Xue's domain!

"clang!"

The giant fist slammed into the sword, the immense power causing Yi Xue's arm to go numb and his armored arm to begin to crumble. But he was not afraid at all. A mad light flashed in his crimson eyes, a light that was somewhat similar to the madness in Fu Botuo's eyes.

Yi Xue held the sword in reverse, and when she swung it, she no longer possessed the dignity and elegance taught by Yun Kui Mountain. Instead, she completely transformed into a wild beast tearing with its fangs.

Alright, you want war... then I'll fight!

Chapter 137 Farewell, Elidu

"boom!"

Unable to dodge in time, he took another heavy punch from Fubotto. If he had been wearing close-fitting armor, this punch would probably have caused more than just a scratch.

The twin dragons drew upon the ethereal energy to fill the gaps in the armor. Yi Xue spun around and retaliated again, but this time, his sword was blocked.

Fu Boto also learns and evolves constantly in battle. His size keeps shrinking, from three meters at the beginning to two meters now, and then gradually becoming similar to Yi Xue's size.

His strength remained undiminished, but his speed had increased considerably. Even now, he could only constantly search for opportunities in the chaotic battle, trying to inflict new wounds on Fuboto, but those wounds would heal completely in the blink of an eye.

The protracted war seemed to have turned the battle into an unsolvable deadlock. Yi Xue's consciousness became increasingly hazy, and in the end she was almost acting on instinct, getting injured, fighting back, getting injured, fighting back, getting injured, fighting back.

Perhaps Fu Botuo was a monster in his eyes, but wasn't Yi Xue the same? Who could possibly engage in close combat with such a monster and remain locked in a stalemate?

Wei Feidi... everyone... the connection between the formation and him is still there, Wei Feidi hasn't been swallowed by the Lemnian Void, everyone is still safe...

fine……

Iserld... and Orpheus... are they alright? I haven't seen them on the front lines. Are they on a mission? But if they're far from the front lines, they should be safe, right?

I hope they're alright...

As for the others... people whose names he knew but had no time to attend to, such as Ai Lian... Yao Jiayin... those whose life trajectories were completely altered because of the old capital, he was powerless to help them.

He is not a god. Although he has done many things that seem like miracles to others, those things are ultimately only possible with the help of the system. In comparison, he is just an ordinary person, even a little selfish. Even if he wants to help, the length of his hands is ultimately limited. All he can do is to protect the people he wants to protect as much as possible within his own capabilities.

He will never forget those he failed to protect, or even those who were harmed because of his actions. He will carry on with the will of the deceased. But in truth, all he wants is not to be forgotten...

Yi Xue, Yi Xue... why are you starting to talk big too? Does that mean deep down you actually yearn to be a hero?

Yi Xue's thoughts seemed to have drifted far away, but the sword in her hand never stopped. Fu Botuo's attacks gradually began to touch his body inside the armor, his arms, legs, and chest. But as long as his head was not injured, he could heal his wounds and continue fighting. This calamity... no, at least this guy, he must kill him here.

He wanted to live, and then go back, go back to see...

Go see... Yi...

Huh? Why can't I remember my master's name?

Why...did I forget...?

He really didn't want to lose it, he really didn't want to, but... what could he do?

Yi Xue gritted his teeth, and the sword light gathered on Qingming. This time, he did not try to summon sword energy, but instead threw Qingming out fiercely. Qingming sword turned into a flawless stream of light, heading straight for the core of Fubotuo. No matter what kind of body it was, as long as it pierced the core, it would definitely die!

Qingming entered Fubotuo's chest, but He cleverly avoided the core... just as Yixue had predicted.

...Fu Botuo, if you only focus on what's in front of you, you won't be able to see the road behind you.

Yi Xue clung tightly to Fu Botuo's body, seemingly afraid that he might be thrown off again. He used the Crimson Sky Sword to ignite a fierce fire, fusing his own armor and body together with Fu Botuo's body.

Fuboto seemed quite interested in Yi Xue's suicidal attack; instead of trying to shake him off, he raised his fist at him again.

"Pfft!"

A massive, bloody fist pierced through his chest, and a torrent of blood gushed from his throat, staining his once pristine white armor crimson. A gaping hole was ripped into his chest cavity—an unmistakably fatal wound.

"Hey, hey, a wound like this should heal pretty quickly, right?"

Fuboto chuckled and tried to pull his fist away. Although in the current situation, he could have easily killed Yixue by delivering another punch to her head, he did not do so.

After all, he hadn't had enough fun yet.

But the next second, Fu Botuo discovered that his arm was completely still. The bloody cut had stopped bleeding, replaced by rising heat and an indescribable smell of burning flesh.

This guy actually used the flames from that sword to weld himself and my arm together. Well, let's see what tricks you have up your sleeve.

"Pfft!"

Instead of trying to pull his arm out, Fuboto plunged his second arm into Yixue's chest, but it was quickly secured by the same method.

"Cough...cough...in that case, there's no way to dodge it..."

The intense pain nearly made Yi Xue faint, but he endured it, using the last vestige of his consciousness to control the Qingming Sword, which had been hurtling forward, to change direction and fly back again. This time, he was sure he could shatter Fu Botuo's core, but...

The Azure Sea Sword flew back again, but pierced his forehead instead.

How could this be...?

This was the last thought that flashed through Yi Xue's mind, followed by a white light powerful enough to devour everything.

"Who... dares to interfere with our battle!"

"...Don't die...before the final bloodbath arrives..."

[Long-run quest "Survival is the first priority" is now complete, rewards are being distributed... Error, error, calculation error...]

[Recalculated... Source code license, 001 passed, system update about to begin, rewards distributed, looking forward to... our next encounter, my...]

...The war ended, and humanity lost, because there was no victory in the war against the Void. The expansion of Void Zero caused humanity to lose more than 90 percent of its territory. In order to preserve the last spark of humanity, the city had no choice but to order the detonation of the Fourteen-Type Towers, even though some people were still fighting in the Void at that time.

Elidu was destroyed, and people could only carry this pain and move forward.

As the greatest contributor to this war, Yun Kuishan received commendation from the municipal government. They were to bestow upon Yun Kuishan the highest honor of the current sect leader, Xu Shou. Without him, the casualties in this war would have been countless. His achievements were even infinitely close to those of the original seven Xu Shou.

But Yun Kui Shan refused; they refused to accept the honor, or perhaps they simply couldn't accept the fact that someone had truly passed away.

No… if it’s that person, they will definitely, they will definitely come back, they made a promise…

Several days after the fall of the old capital, Yunkui Mountain.

Yi Jiang felt as if she had been in a long dream. When she woke up, everything seemed unchanged, but something always seemed to be missing from her side.

Yi Xuan lay on the corner of the bed, tears still clinging to the corners of her eyes. Oh right... she had fainted a few days ago, and Xuan'er and the others had been taking care of her.

The Azure Nether Sword has returned, and it is completely different from before. The demonic sword that used to devour people without spitting out the bones has now lost its side effects, but it will not react to anyone. They understand that it is just waiting for that person.

"Squeak..."

There was a slight noise coming from the doorway, and Yi Jiang couldn't help but look in the direction of the sound. It was A Bao.

"elder sister……"

The sound coming from inside the bag startled her, but she soon realized it was just a recording.

"By the time you hear this recording, I should already be gone."

Yi Jiang cried. She understood everything; even Xue'er couldn't have survived such an explosion. She just refused to believe it. She naively thought that her younger brother would return to her arms and act spoiled after everything was over, just like always. Although he could be naughty at times, he had always been...

She knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face, blurring her vision. The recording was still playing, but she could no longer hear its contents.

"Sister... meeting you is the luckiest thing in my life. Please... go and see for me the future, the future we share together."

The recording has now ended.

Those who survive will carry on the will of the departed. Elidu has come to an end, but for the new Elidu, this is only the beginning.

New Elido, Janus district.

"Sister, we're about to do our first deep-sea dive into the void. Are you ready? How's the implant doing?"

"Very stable, let's prepare to connect. Is Ies ready too?"

"Hmm, HDD system booting up, establishing connection... 3, 2, 1!"

"Wait... isn't there someone over there?"

"Really, sister, let's go take a look."

"It's a child, with no signs of erosion, and it has these horns and a tail. Is it a Hitler? There's also half a sign next to it."

"Yi? Is that the child's name?"

"Sister... what should we do next?"

"...If we just leave him like this, he'll eventually become a skeleton. Let Ies bring him out... Well, he's not very tall, but he's quite heavy."

Yi Xue's story has ended, but Yi's story is just beginning.
