As a villain, he could do whatever he wanted.

Chapter 83 The Beauty Underground (Part Two)

"The monsters... must be destroyed..."

As the woman uttered her unconscious words, the blade, accompanied by bursts of sharp light, shone through the dim candlelight and echoed in the empty chamber. It was sharp and powerful, and in the blink of an eye, it was close to Lius.

"Bang bang bang!"

After three metallic clangs, Leus reversed his grip on his sword, wielding a short dagger, and with undulating steps, he continuously rotated his wrist while dodging, deflecting the woman's attacks with minimal movement.

"Whoosh!"

Once again deflecting the woman's blade, Lius used the hilt of his sword to brace her arm, his left arm supporting her arm from under her armpit, his legs in a horse stance, and his right hand gripping her wrist. Following the trajectory of the woman's slash, he bent over in a lunge position, twisted his joints, and directly grabbed the woman's upper body, throwing her backward in an over-the-shoulder throw.

"boom!"

The next moment, the woman was thrown high into the air by Lius, tracing a smooth parabola amidst puffs of dust.

His body tumbled and rolled in the air above the rotunda, rising to the highest point he could reach under extreme force.

In an instant, gravity and the force of the throw resisted each other, leaving the woman suspended in mid-air as if time had stopped.

"call……"

The sound of wind whistling through the air made the tranquil library noisy.

The candlelight, mingling with the glint of the blade, illuminated the woman's graceful and voluptuous figure, making her appear like a meticulously sculpted statue. In this frozen moment, the dangerous yet alluring aura emanating from her was perfectly highlighted.

"..."

The pause lasted less than a second before the woman ended her state and fell from the sky like a shot arrow.

Meanwhile, Leus had already regained his senses. After being briefly attracted by the woman's figure, he was quickly brought back to reality by the atmosphere of battle around him and decided to put aside the various mysteries surrounding the woman for the time being and focus solely on the battle in front of him.

"Gather!"

Before the woman could even land, Lius took a step forward, continuously condensing his magic into the blade, making the sharp, silvery-white light in his hand even more dazzling.

Amidst the resounding roar as he charged forward, he leaped and rushed toward the spot where the woman was about to fall, ready to draw his sword and swiftly end the battle the moment she landed.

"Fall down!"

The woman in the sky, however, seemed unwilling to give Lius this chance. She continuously manipulated her body in mid-air, tumbling and falling upside down. The two curved short swords in her hands were crossed in an X shape, with the crisscrossing blades pointing downwards, aimed directly at Lius below.

Just as she was about to hit the ground, a red light flashed briefly in the woman's eyes, and a black mist emanated from the two blades, enveloping her entire body.

"cut!"

"boom!"

The black and white light intertwined, and almost simultaneously, Leus and the woman swung their blades.

The next moment, a burst of intense energy erupted within the underground library, sweeping through the corridors between the bookshelves.

The dazzling light, accompanied by bursts of energy, surged through every crevice of the library, causing the entire underground structure to shake violently, much like an earthquake.

A surge of energy erupted from the clashing blades of the two swords. The sharp sword and the dagger faced each other head-on, and the two different magical powers intertwined through the blades, releasing a near-runaway surge of magical power.

Initially, the magic transformed into a powerful gust of wind like a tidal wave, rushing to every corner of the underground chamber. This was followed by a scorching heat, like a raging fire, that relentlessly eroded Leus and the woman. Then, a cool sensation, like a flowing stream, swept over their entire bodies, causing their wrists to tremble slightly as they immersed themselves in the icy touch.

Finally, when the light faded, all the intense sensations vanished, leaving only dust-like magical crystals in the air, concealing the rampage and turbulence of the magic that had just occurred.

"call……"

As the last dust settled, Lius, enduring the throbbing pain in his wrist, stared intently at the figure before him with a grave expression.

The woman had already landed on the ground, her two swords crossed like scissors, forming a tight blind spot between the blades, blocking the downward slash from Lius.

Earlier, just as Leus was about to strike her, she used precise movements to wield her twin swords, clamping his menacing blade between them. Together, they blocked Leus's upward slash of the demonic sword, and using the force of the movement, she flipped backward, finally landing steadily on the ground after a somersault, where she and Leus's sword met in a stalemate.

Her bouncy, full breasts swayed up and down after landing, like freshly made jelly, sweet and tender.

Although it wasn't the woman's intention, she still used this seductive method to show Lius what had just happened, making Lius's heart race slightly and arousing even more curiosity about the woman.

"He's really a formidable opponent..."

In just one exchange, Lius had already grasped the woman's strength.

Although the rubber bodysuit she was wearing looked more like lingerie than anything else, the vibrations in her hands didn't lie. If Lius underestimated her, he would be the one who ultimately suffered.

However, after that exchange, besides the tremor in his wrist, Lius also felt a sense of relief.

Because of him, he has gained the upper hand in this battle.

"hiss."

Just as the two blades were locked in a stalemate, a tear appeared in the tight-fitting clothes on the woman's arm, revealing her fair and delicate skin.

At the same time, a silvery-white light wrapped around it, dispelling the surrounding black mist. Like constantly coiling silk threads, it entangled itself on the woman's arm and flowed into her body through her skin.

"Success..."

Using the magic within one's own body as a catalyst, much like manipulating a puppet, one can infiltrate the other person's body with magic, thereby gradually achieving the effect of controlling their physical movements.

This is one of the trump cards that Leus has hidden.

While clashing swords with the woman, and despite the stalemate, Lius managed to gather his magical power.

While the woman was focused on the sword in his hand, he secretly wrapped his magic around her body, creating a wound that could penetrate deep into her body, allowing the magic to seep into her.

This skill was once studied in depth by Leus in private, but it rarely came in handy in actual combat. This is mainly because the best way to control the opponent's body is when the opponent's and one's own magical power levels are consistent and the skill is used when the two are evenly matched. Otherwise, the effect will be greatly reduced.

Normally, Lius rarely finds someone of similar strength to himself, but this time the situation is different. Facing the woman who guards this library, he has a rare opportunity to make good use of his abilities.

"..."

Looking at the woman again, feeling her fingers gradually becoming out of control, she turned her head slightly and looked at her arm that was emitting bursts of white light.

The muscles above were trembling incessantly, as if trying to resist something, but they were unable to reverse the trend. The force on the arms gradually weakened, and the two swords, which had been locked in a stalemate, began to loosen. Lius used the blades to hold them back and pushed them away to the sides.

"Okay...it's working."

Feeling the gradual ease in his hands, Leus breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had gained the upper hand in this battle and that his chances of winning were much greater than before.

Even so, there was still one thing that bothered him: the woman's gaze at that moment.

Logically speaking, when someone's body is controlled by the enemy and they are at a disadvantage in the battle, even if they can control their emotions, their facial expression should change slightly.

However, judging from the woman's expression at this moment... she still had that expressionless look.

Just like when she first fought with Leus, she showed no panic or hesitation, but stared at Leus with empty eyes, unable to see her inner thoughts, only a coldness as if she were being stared at by a dark and bottomless abyss.

That look made Leus very uncomfortable, and it gave him an urge to end the battle as soon as possible.

"...No matter who you are, even if you are truly devoid of emotion, don't even think about blocking my way. Get out of my way!"

With a forceful downward press of the sword hilt, and with the woman opposite him under the control of magic, Leus slashed down with all his might, completely breaking through her defensive stance and causing her to lose her balance, exposing a weakness in her body to Leus.

"hiss!"

With another swing of his sword, the sharp tip lightly touched the woman's clothing. Without harming her body, Lius slashed straight down from the middle of her body, cutting through the tight-fitting clothes that were stretched to the point of bursting at the chest, and then extended down between her breasts until he finally stopped at her navel.

"Hiss! Bang!"

When the blade finally left, the woman's clothes were almost split in two, completely ripped apart.

From her slender, translucent collarbone to her rounded, fair cleavage, down to her slightly protruding, tender belly, and below that, the full marks taut by the remaining latex clothing, large swathes of snow-white and smooth skin were revealed before Lius, making the image of this "female investigator" in her bodysuit even bolder.

"Gu..."

In this hazy springtime setting, Leus didn't dwell too much on the fair, beautiful flesh, but instead continued to control the magic that lingered around the woman's arms.

Observing the flow of magic on the woman's skin, Leus began by extending his magic from her arm to other parts of her body, starting an attempt to control the woman before him...

Chapter 84 Controlling the Beauty

"Get under control!"

"..."

While manipulating the magic remaining in the woman's body, Leus swung his sword at her to distract her and prevent her from resisting this manipulation of her body.

The woman seemed to notice these strange occurrences and kept trying to dodge backwards, but Leus wouldn't give her that chance. He maintained a powerful stride and kept closing in on her, his longsword slashing at a high frequency at a speed invisible to the naked eye, giving her no chance to concentrate.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The surrounding air gradually became scorching hot, the sound of metal clashing echoed in the empty rotunda, sparks flashed between the blades, and the trembling wrists were illuminated by the firelight. The struggle between the two became increasingly fierce amidst the flashes of light.

"..."

As time passed, visible patterns of magic appeared on the woman's skin, extending down her arms and into deeper organs. Marks of Leus's magic also appeared on her chest, symbolizing the gradual penetration of magic into her body.

At that moment, seemingly sensing her own danger, the woman made a desperate gamble, gathering all the magic power within her body and concentrating it in her palm. Under another attack from Leus, she aimed at the blade and released it, creating a small explosion between the two.

"boom!"

Using the shockwave, the woman tried to create some distance, but Lius continued to press forward, gritting his teeth and ignoring the scorching shockwave.

"Accept!"

Before the woman could back down, he leaped up from the ground and delivered a flying kick that struck her chest, sending her flying into the air. At the same time, he switched his sword from a slash to a thrust, aiming for the woman's leg.

As Lius had planned, before the woman could recover her strength, he would first restrict her movement and prevent her from taking any more steps. Then, he would gradually subdue her and defeat her without taking any lives.

However, just as Lius drew his sword and charged forward, looking at the woman in the tight-fitting clothes who was approaching and whose posture had not yet been adjusted, he suddenly felt a strange hesitation and an ominous premonition flashed through his mind.

"Such a powerful enemy...would he really expose such a simple flaw?"

Such thoughts surfaced in Lius's mind, as if it were a premonition from heaven. In that instant, he seemed to see a scene of his own defeat.

The next moment, after swallowing hard, he made a decision.

"Whoosh!"

Retracting his thrusting sword, Lius shifted to a defensive stance, side-blading his chest. He stomped his foot on the ground, sidestepped, and tumbled behind a pillar.

Although there was no reason for doing so, Lius trusted his instincts.

He had a premonition that if he attacked the woman immediately, his ominous premonition would become a reality, and the battle would not end so easily.

There are definitely still aspects of the enemy we face that we haven't figured out yet.

"..."

A brief silence filled the space. Lius remained in a defensive stance behind a pillar, while the woman landed on the ground, silently adjusting her posture and regaining her balance.

"..."

Stroking her body, which was enveloped in waves of white magic, the woman silently lowered her head and gazed down, the blade in her hand turning slightly, its movements subtle, making it impossible to tell what she would do next.

Lius also stared at her, adopting a "wait and see" attitude, controlling his magic while quietly waiting for her next move.

Then, the woman did something that surprised Lius.

"boom!"

The sound of air being torn apart came, but it was not from magic or the wind of the blade, but from the woman's arm—the severed arm that had been cut off at the root and was gushing out a lot of blood!

Lius couldn't see the woman's movements clearly; the only thing he could sense was the blood spraying through the air and the rusty smell lingering in the air.

The intense, bright red liquid tore through the entire space, staining it with a glaring crimson hue.

The arm that had been bound by Leus's magic now lay on the ground.

The black mist that had been entwining the arm had dissipated, leaving only faint white light writhing pitifully on it, yearning for the arm that could no longer be manipulated. The magic that had been concentrated in the woman's body was also released from the severed arm, thus freeing her from Lius's control.

"you……"

Watching the woman's actions, Leus blinked in surprise, momentarily stunned by her decisiveness.

The woman, however, remained expressionless, as if the severed arm was not hers. She didn't utter a single murmur, but silently twirled the blood-stained dagger in her hand, closed her eyes, and seemed to be contemplating something. Ignoring the blood gushing from her wound, she stood silently in place, speechless and eerie.

At this moment, Lius's first reaction was heartache. Such a beautiful body, even if the arm could be reattached later, would inevitably leave scars. His second thought was unease, because he sensed that the woman's actions were not merely to break free from his control.

In addition, there is an even more sinister plan.

"Host, this system has a bad feeling... Quick, hide!"

Just then, the system's voice appeared in Lius's mind, carrying a hint of unease and panic, which was exactly what Lius wanted to do.

"run!"

However, before he could take many steps, the woman in the tight-fitting clothes in the center of the rotunda took action first.
