Chapter 295: The Reversed Annihilation
🕑 Added 2025-07-12 06:34:46 +0000 UTCAfter shedding all her armor, the red-haired woman suddenly charged towards Blake, moving incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, she closed a distance of tens of meters. Her movements were swift and precise.
Facing the red-haired woman’s charge, Blake’s expression remained unchanged; he merely stood calmly in place. At the same time, a graceful figure suddenly rushed in front of Blake, wielding a rapier and slashing fiercely at the red-haired woman.
CLANG! At this, the red-haired woman’s expression subtly changed. She swiftly drew the long blade from her back and abruptly clashed with Ais. In an instant, a loud metallic clang sounded, and the collision formed a faint air current that dispersed outwards, rustling the hair of onlookers. The next moment, the two separated simultaneously, cautiously eyeing each other.
“Although it was wise of you to judge me as the greatest threat, your opponent isn’t me.” Looking at the red-haired woman, whose expression had slightly shifted, Blake said casually.
“Ais, don’t hold back. Use your full power to defeat her.” Blake then said softly to Ais.
“Mm.”
“Engage.” Hearing this, Ais nodded. Green wind whirlwinds instantly appeared around her, and reinforcement magic simultaneously activated on her body.
“Defeat me? Don’t make me laugh. From our earlier exchange, she’s merely a Level 5 adventurer, isn’t she? To me, that level is nothing but weakness.” The red-haired woman sneered.
“Heh.” Hearing this, Blake merely curled his lips, saying nothing more. Indeed, as a monster revived by the Impure Spirit, this red-haired woman truly possessed strength comparable to Level 6, capable of easily suppressing Ais in the original story. However, did she truly think his Ais was still the same Ais from before?! Seeing Blake merely looking at her with disdain, saying nothing more, the red-haired woman’s expression grew even colder.

The next moment, she fiercely charged towards Ais again. Terrifying force spread across the ground, creating a deep gouge. Facing the red-haired woman’s charge, which was faster and more precise than before, Ais’s golden eyes flickered. She calmly gripped her Despair Sword and met the charge, moving even faster than the red-haired woman. At the same time, her rapier traced mysterious arcs in the air, forming several bewildering sword trails that slashed towards the red-haired woman.
“What!!!” By the time she reacted, Ais’s sword had already magnified in her eyes, making her face contort in shock. She couldn’t believe that the person who was once nothing to her could now be so much stronger.
THWACK! However, she had no time to think or dodge. Ais’s sword, carrying a cold glint, suddenly pierced her shoulder.
THUD! Without giving her a chance to retaliate, Ais suddenly swept her leg, kicking her away. She crashed through several thick crystal pillars before falling to the ground, covered in blood, groaning in pain.
“Alright, the battle’s over. It seems you’re the failed weakling after all.” Blake mocked, looking indifferently at the red-haired woman struggling to get up from the ground.
“.....!” Hearing this, the red-haired woman’s face changed, darkening to the extreme.
“So that’s it. This wind... are you Aria?” Then, as if remembering something, the red-haired woman stared intently at the wind swirling around Ais and suddenly spoke.
“......!!!” These words caused Ais’s delicate, doll-like face to change drastically, as if she had been stimulated.
“Aria, until next time. I will definitely defeat you.” At this moment, taking advantage of Ais’s stunned state, the red-haired woman suddenly erupted with astonishing speed, rushing into the distance, seemingly wanting to escape.
“A wise judgment, but you seem to think too little of me.”
CRASH! However, before she could get away, Blake’s figure appeared ghost-like in front of her. Under her horrified gaze, his slightly pale hand enlarged, directly covering her face, then pressing her down onto the ground. The terrifying force instantly smashed a deep crater into the ground. This also made the red-haired woman let out an unbearable whimper, her entire body groaning under the unbearable strain, twitching uncontrollably, unable to move a single inch.
“Captain Blake, Ais, Lefiya, what exactly happened?” As Blake instantly defeated the red-haired woman, Finn and the others, who had just finished dealing with the monsters in the town, all rushed over and asked in surprise.
“Nothing. We were attacked by this woman, but Ais has already subdued her.” Hearing this, Blake said nonchalantly.
“Uh... Ais...?” Hearing this, Finn and the others exchanged glances, then looked at Ais. However, Ais remained in her Wind Spirit Walk state, silently watching the red-haired woman on the ground from a distance, lost in thought.
“Ais became like this because this red-haired woman called out the name ‘Aria’.” Blake’s crystalline blue eyes flickered, then he spoke again.
“What...!” As soon as these words fell, Finn and Riveria’s expressions both changed, looking at the immobile red-haired woman on the ground, whose eyes were filled with resentment, in disbelief. Tiona, Tione, Lefiya, and Lily, however, showed confused expressions, completely unaware of the significance of those words.
“It seems there’s a deep hidden story here. You two arrest this red-haired woman. Perhaps we can get some information out of her. Oh, and this strange item too; I’ll hand it over to you.” After scanning Finn and Riveria, Blake controlled the wind to toss the sphere, which he had simply sealed with magic, to Finn, saying casually.
Then, without waiting for anyone to react, Blake walked with unhurried steps to Ais’s side.
“Ais, would you like to walk with me?” Gently caressing Ais’s golden hair, Blake revealed a warm smile and said softly.
“...Mm...” Hearing this, Ais snapped back to reality. Her golden eyes rippled like water. Finally, she nodded and walked beside Blake. Under the gaze of Finn and the others, they walked down the stairs and disappeared into the night.
