Teresa won't starve

"I understand what you mean."

Before Karen let go of her worry, Teresa shook her head again, with an inexplicable smile on the corner of her mouth: "But I'm sorry, I can't stay."

"Wait a moment!"

Unfortunately, it was too late to stop it.

As soon as Karen yelled, Teresa stabbed the black demon knife into the ground under her feet.

Then he pulled out the demon knife, and a viscous liquid like gold leaf gushed out of it slowly but seemed to be very fast.But in just a while, the ground under his feet has been covered, making it seem like a big river covered in gold leaf water.

981 "War Weariness"

laugh!

Rita was the first to react, and jumped directly onto a nearby tree.

After looking down, I realized that the liquid like gold leaf was an acidic substance that corroded her shoes and the bandages wrapped around her heels. If she hadn't reacted quickly and avoided it in time, she didn't let her skin come into direct contact with it.

The consequences...

Then came Karen and Xia, who looked a little more embarrassed than Rita.

Fortunately, no one was hurt.

On the contrary, Teresa, who has been standing in the water of gold leaf, does not appear to be corroded in the slightest.

No, if you look closely, you will find that the gold leaf water around her feet seems to be consciously going around, preventing herself from touching Teresa's body.

Therefore, Teresa can wade in the gold leaf water without any scruples, walk slowly towards the three people who have nowhere to go, and explain to them with 'kindness': "Actually, you don't have to worry too much. The water is not As terrifying as it looks, it's incapable of harming any living creature—not including plants, of course."

With that said, Teresa looked at Rita.

At the same time, the root of the tree under Rita's feet was corroded, and the body was under too much weight.As a result, it snapped off with a 'click', and fell towards the side that had grown obliquely.

Forcing Rita to jump off the top ahead of time, she landed on a slope similar to where Karen and Xia were standing.

"What if it's something other than humans?"

Kallen looked down at Xia's left foot. To be precise, it was the toe exposed to the air due to the hole in the foot bag and the gold leaf water on it. It was obvious that the gold leaf water did not cause damage to Xia's toes.

It also proved that Teresa was not lying.

However, this is not something to be thankful for.

"Then I can only say one thing—sorry!"

There was an innocent smile on that small and cute round face.But it can be placed here and now, but it gives people a sense of horror like facing the "devil's smile".

Karen looked in the direction where the gold leaf water was flowing, and she could vaguely see the outline of Yae-cho.Thinking about it, it will spread to the town in a short time, and Yae-cho will probably be destroyed by the gold leaf water.

Although she has already planned to find someone to take over Yae Town, it doesn't matter whether Yae Town can continue to prosper; but let her watch Yae Town be destroyed like this, especially in the process, countless people will lose their homes.

Karen knew that the little girl was forcing her to make a choice.

Is it to give up more people for one person?Or give up one person for more people?

......

Kallen closed her eyes.

Said to Teresa who had walked only five meters away from her: "Everything in Yae Town is already yours, why do you still do this 'excessive' thing?"

"You have a strange brain circuit! Do you have to decide what I want and what I don't want?"

Although it was originally just a random reason to help her, but in the end, Karen still said such egotistical words, even Teresa was a little angry no matter how good-tempered she was: "Have you really understood me?"

"..."

Karen opened her eyes again and looked at Teresa who was no longer approaching.Want to say something, but don't know what to say.

In contrast, Teresa is much more straightforward.

"Come and fight!"

Teresa pointed the demon sword at Karen, but because of her position, the direction she pointed was facing three people at the same time: "For things that cannot be decided with words, just decide the strongest fist. !"

"..."

Karen didn't speak or move, just looked at her steadfastly.

"Karen?"

Xia, who just took out her kunai to get ready, also changed back to the more casual standing posture before after seeing Kallen's reaction, as if expressing the same attitude as Kallen.

Then Rita made the same choice.

This made Teresa frowned: "What does this mean? If you are tired, I can let you go back to sleep first, and it is okay to continue tomorrow."

"......Do not."

Don't know why.

Even now, Kallen can't have the slightest fighting spirit towards her.It was as if her hands, her body, everything about her were resisting: "If this is what you want."

Karen quickly raised the gun in her hand, pointed at Teresa's eyebrows and pulled the trigger.

982 "Sword of Hades"

Teresa didn't have any intention of avoiding it, making it hard for people to understand what she wanted to do.

As Karen's fingers gradually pressed down, as if a bullet would be released in the next second, Teresa's eyes narrowed little by little.

At this moment——

"and many more!"

Xia suddenly grabbed Kallen's pistol and stopped her from shooting; Facing Kallen who turned her head full of doubts, Xia walked between Kallen and Teresa, turned her back to Kallen and said: "Let me do it."

"But you..."

"Don't force yourself to do things you don't want to do."

Before Kallen finished speaking, Xia went on to say: "What's more, I'm just a tool. A tool doesn't need to rest."

"..."

Karen fell silent after hearing this, sighed and took a few steps back: "Try not to... Forget it, be careful."

After a moment of hesitation, Xia nodded, which was considered to be a 'promise' to her.

......

"Is the gossip over?"

"It's over."

Teresa looked sideways at Karen, who was standing beside Rita, who was like an audience at the competition. She felt that if this continued, she might deviate from her original plan: "Actually, it's okay for the three of you to come together."

"It's enough for the next person."

Xia shook her head, as if she didn't want to bully the few with more.

"You're overconfident..."

Teresa pinched her waist with her left hand, her face full of indescribable helplessness.

But then, she put away this look, showing a rare seriousness: "I warn you in advance. I won't show mercy. If you accidentally die—then don't blame me!"

"Ah."

"Then I'll-"

The 'river surface' where Teresa was standing exploded as if a depth charge had been thrown in, and the splashed 'river water' directly blocked Teresa's figure.

But before the three present could see clearly what was going on behind the 'river', Teresa had already appeared by Xia's side.And slashed at Xia from bottom to top, the tip of the knife touched her neck in an instant.

"Here it is!"

However, the knife was emptied.

Teresa's knife tip just rubbed against the neck of a purple human figure, and because of the conductivity of the knife itself, she was paralyzed by the purple lightning.

But this moment.

Xayah, who dodged out, had already thrown Kunai, pointed at Teresa's right eye and shot.

Ding!

She swung the knife and slashed it away, watching it being caught by Xia again; Teresa swung the knife casually to the side, glanced at the positions of the three of them, and suddenly showed a meaningful smile: "In this case, I can only-"

"!"

As before, Teresa suddenly disappeared from sight.

But when Xia subconsciously looked towards her side, she didn't find Teresa.She didn't know where Theresa was until she heard Teresa's voice.

"Hundred Ghosts-"

Standing at a height of tens of meters away from the three of them, Teresa had no intention of hiding at all.Rather, she did it to get their attention.

After finding that they were all looking over, he turned the black demon sword in his right hand so that the blade faced downwards, and slashed towards them with the power of falling downwards: "Hell!"

time.

The three of them, including Xia, seemed to be hallucinating.As Teresa slashed down with the knife, there seemed to be a faint blue Tianhe following her, sweeping down towards the place where the three of them were.

It's just that when the distance gradually approached and the true face of the 'river' was clearly seen, Karen's heartbeat stopped at that moment.

"Get out of the way!!"

Almost without thinking, Kallen pulled Xia who was still in a daze to avoid it.And Rita had already withdrawn and backed away very presciently, so that the 'river water' could only be photographed on the slope that was already empty at this time.

983 "One shot"

In an instant, this abrupt small slope turned into a mud pit that was no different from other places, and the three of them lost their foothold, and could only stand in the gold leaf water that would corrode their clothes.

Fortunately, the water in the Jinye River is not deep, at most it can submerge to the ankles.If you are careful, don't let it splash on your body. In fact, the impact is not as big as you think.

However, the attention of the three of them was not here at this time.

"Master Karen, is that..."

In fact, without Rita's reminder, Karen has already noticed that the "river water" that makes up the green "river" is a blue spirit body that resembles a human soul—it seems to exist on the same level as the "living soul".

It's just that Kallen shook her head very quickly, denying the guess in her heart: "No, it shouldn't be."

"Compared to that, I want to know more—"

"It's a good chat."

Following Teresa's voice, a figure slightly larger than the original gradually emerged in the original breakthrough area that had been shrouded in smoke.

Then they saw the little girl in a black police uniform, with the same hair color as Xia, and a pair of animal ears, slowly walking out of the area shrouded in smoke, and the blue half-length giant behind her appeared.

The three of them were still in a daze for a while.

Under the support of the blue giant, Teresa turned into a blue fire mist and disappeared on the spot.

When it reappeared it was——

"Underworld·Return of Dead Souls."

Teresa, who was fighting with her back to the three of them, pronounced the name of this skill very well.

Then he quickly turned around and slashed, slashing at the heads of the three of them mercilessly; it seemed that he wanted to complete a triple kill in one blow, and end this battle that still felt like a brat playing with his temper.

Of course, with Teresa's reminder, the three Valkyrie reacted immediately, and at the same time raised their weapons in an attempt to block Teresa's slash.

"Innocent!!"

The tip of the knife collided with Kunai first, and the exaggerated strange force directly made Xia's wrist loose, causing Kunai, who couldn't hold it, to be thrown out like this, and fell into the gold leaf water behind her and dissolved into metal particles.

"Unbeatable!!"

Then the blade hit Aria Youse, leaving a slash mark on the pair of spears that had accompanied her for countless years; the force was even greater than that of Xia, pushing Karen's body almost into gold leaf in the water.

But then he was supported by Xia, otherwise it would be bad.

Rather—

"Hey?"
