Outside the territory, an endless expanse of grey mist swirled. This was an unknown region. The thin fog made it difficult to see, so Wu Chi couldn't tell if any monsters lurked within. But, the scorching fireball heading his way was no illusion!Danger! Wu Chi's eyes narrowed as he calmly retreated, planning to use the fence to block the incoming fireball. However, just as the fireball shot towards him and he stepped back, a figure suddenly shot past him from behind!Shiiing—! The sound of a sword ringing filled the air as the blade was snatched from Wu Chi's hand. In the next moment, he saw the graceful figure of a woman elegantly swing the sword, striking the fireball head-on!BOOM—! With a deafening explosion, flames and shockwaves erupted, only to be dispersed by an invisible force, revealing Lin Daiyu's breathtakingly beautiful face, completely unruffled."Oh right, Daiyu's here," Wu Chi stopped his retreat, feeling a wave of immediate relief. With this super-powered fighter by his side, he was in absolutely no danger!After cleaving the fireball, Lin Daiyu glided back, presenting the sword with both hands. Her beautiful eyes blinked, filled with a gentle warmth, as she smiled and said, "Your sword, young master.""Daiyu, you know how to use a sword?" Wu Chi asked.Lin Daiyu shook her head softly."This humble one does not know swordsmanship. It was merely a matter of overwhelming the attack with pure strength.""Alright then," Wu Chi replied, taking back his sword. His gaze drifted down to her slender, jade-like fingers. They were pale as snow, with delicate joints that curled slightly, exuding an irresistible charm."Young master, there are more," Lin Daiyu said with a clever smile, noticing his glance but ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) choosing not to comment on it, instead reminding him of the ongoing threat.Hearing this, Wu Chi snapped back to reality and quickly turned to look. Emerging from the mist were over a dozen figures. Most were the same weak, red-skinned imps from before, but one stood out—taller, holding a staff topped with a ram's skull, hunched over like an old man."A spell-casting monster?" Wu Chi's mind raced, realizing where that fireball had come from! But... while he could probably handle the small fry, that caster was way out of his league!Maybe I should have Daiyu take out the caster while I deal with the small ones? Wu Chi pondered.Just then, as if reading his mind, Lin Daiyu pressed her lips together into a subtle smile and said gently, "Young master, allow this humble one to clean them up.""Ah? Sure! You go ahead and..." Before Wu Chi could finish his sentence, Lin Daiyu shot forward like a rabbit leaping and a tiger pouncing, covering a hundred meters in a single bound, landing right in front of the monster horde!"Raka~!""Raka~!""Gah!"... The monsters instantly grew frenzied, emitting bloodthirsty cries. The caster monster began gathering magic power, a fireball swirling and growing at the tip of its staff! However....... In the very next second!BOOM—! Lin Daiyu stomped her foot on the ground, shattering the earth beneath her. A terrifying shockwave erupted, sending the monsters stumbling and reeling. A few unlucky imps even had their heads pierced by flying debris! The caster's spell was brutally interrupted, causing it to shriek in pain, nearly coughing up blood.Once it steadied itself, ready to try casting again, it suddenly felt its claws empty."?" It turned its head, astonished to find its staff gone! A graceful figure now held the staff, using it like a simple club, and swung it down hard!SMACK—! It was like crushing a block of tofu. The monster's head collapsed inwards, splitting into pieces. Red and white matter splattered out, but Lin Daiyu had already moved on. With leaps and bounds, the staff became a deadly weapon, effortlessly tearing through the bodies of the remaining monsters.Three seconds later, all the monsters lay defeated. Lin Daiyu tossed the bloodied staff aside and walked back."Young master, the mission is accomplished," she said softly, her demeanor once again that of a frail beauty, completely at odds with the one-woman army she had just been."......" Wu Chi fell silent, his eyes darting to the massive crater—a crack four or five meters long—left by Lin Daiyu's stomp. If that hit landed on me... He shuddered, swallowing hard, and managed an awkward, "Incredible! Simply incredible!""You flatter me, young master," Lin Daiyu replied gently. Remarkably, she had barely a drop of blood on her clothes, a stark contrast to Wu Chi's own stained and dirty attire. Considering she had just slaughtered over a dozen monsters through sheer, brutal force, the difference highlighted just how terrifying her speed and reflexes truly were.Suddenly, Wu Chi's Territory Core grew warm, transmitting a stream of information.... "Battle Concluded!" "Beginning Settlement!" ... "Battle Results": Enemies: 17x Level 1 Fallen Demon, 1x Level 2 Fallen Shaman.Result: Total Victory!Rating: S-Rank!Base Rewards: 18 Void Essence Stones.Extra Rewards (S-Rank): 100 Void Crystals, Territory Building: [Arrow Tower]...."The settlement screen... right, I forgot about that!" Wu Chi smacked his forehead, remembering. After reviewing it, he promptly collected all the rewards into his inventory."If the monster invasion for today is over, then..." A wide grin spread across Wu Chi's face."IT'S LOOT BOX TIME BABY!!" He exclaimed excitedly, dashing over to the fallen monsters...
