Celty and Neil fell from high altitude. Debbie and Shaleme hurriedly tried to catch them. But Celty and Neil—one fell into the black portal. The other, Shaleme misjudged, directly crashed to the ground in front…
That was a fall from thousands of metres.
When Debbie hurriedly reached Neil’s side, she saw Shaleme holding Neil’s one arm. The arm limp, as if bones shattered into several pieces. Shaleme looked incredulously at Debbie. “How did I miss? How…”
“…”
Debbie quickly summoned omnipotent butler Alfea to treat Neil. Also full of worry for Celty’s safety. Fiorre unexpectedly opened portal to Puppet Graveyard. Bishop Xis seized chance rushing in. Celty falling in—unknown if issues… But thinking this big sister though only head, counted as undying god clan. Should be fine? Not like never buried underground thousands of years…
Neil though fell from hundreds of metres high. Countless bones shattered. But her own strength formidable. Not instantly dead. Just appearance horrific. After Debbie’s ten-plus minutes treatment, pitiful miss slowly opened eyes. Then saw Debbie, Shaleme, dragon-turtle trio curiously surrounding her.
Brief hesitation. Then suddenly recalled something important. Struggled up from ground. Face urgent. “Teacher Faze coming soon. Here unsafe. He will kill us…”
“Faze?” Debbie stunned. “Who is this?”
“Puppet God clan leader. Tidal Empire’s number one powerhouse!” Neil answered. “He very terrifying. Certainly kill us!”
“Relax. He cannot breach my barrier…” Guibao arms folded. Face confident.
But just as her words finished, boom! With crisp sound, as if something shattered. Ground slightly shook. Guibao’s pure cute face suddenly froze. Incredulously looked one direction—her turtle pattern defence broken!
She ignored explaining. Immediately waved hands. Set new turtle pattern defence array!
Guibao excelled defence. Her essential attribute. Chaos giant turtles grown to strongest, their defence perhaps even God of Gods could not breach. But Guibao now merely juvenile. Defence ability though already very strong, not absolute. Defence solidity varied by coverage size.
Smaller range, stronger defence.
Earlier to prevent entry to temple, she expanded defence to entire temple range. That barrier breached by Faze. She immediately set new one. This time range slightly smaller. Hoping withstand Faze’s assault.
But boom! Boom! Boom! Attacks on barrier continuous. Ground trembled. Several buildings affected, successively collapsing. As if imaginable that man named Faze hammering barrier. After three punches, Guibao’s little face already somewhat pale. Second barrier again shattered!
Seeing Guibao’s state, Debbie, Shaleme etc showed surprised expressions. Did not expect that Faze so powerful.
For Neil equally extremely surprised. She exclaimed, “This little girl’s barrier actually withstood Teacher Faze three punches…”
Guibao somewhat angrily glared Neil. Little girl? This girl your ancestor eighteen generations more than enough okay? And only withstood three punches. She not consider this anything proud.
Boom—
In vision, courtyard outer building collapsed. Ground shook. Courtyard half wall also boom fell. Dust-filled night, a tall figure appeared before Debbie etc—precisely [Puppet God] clan leader. Tidal Empire number one expert, Faze!
Faze strode forward. Eyes ice cold. Seeing blocking turtle pattern defence before him. Slightly paused. Raised puppet right arm about to punch down.
Guibao face revealed cold smile. As chaos giant turtle, turtle shell defence her most proud ability. Now Faze’s actions undoubtedly insulting her giant turtle bloodline. “I will let you see what true strongest defence…” Guibao muttered low. Again set defence barrier.
This time barrier covered entire small courtyard. Because Guibao used huge effort, barrier turtle patterns already clearly visible. From high sky looking down, a crouching huge turtle!
Boom!
Courtyard side building collapsed. Ground shook. Courtyard half wall boom fell. Dust-filled night, tall figure appeared before Debbie etc—precisely [Puppet God] clan leader. Tidal Empire number one expert, Faze!
Faze stepped forward. Eyes cold. Seeing blocking turtle pattern defence. Slightly paused. Raised puppet right arm about to punch.
Guibao face cold smile. After Ye Chui greatly bled, Guibao strength greatly discounted. But even so she world strongest defence magical beast. Now used turtle pattern defence only her body size. Power comparable her body’s defence. If not Ye Chui’s completely unreasonable one-punch power, absolutely no force could breach!
Faze clearly also realised this.
His surging infinite power right arm poised to strike. But moments later still lowered. He judged unable to breach current defence! So unwilling waste extra strength attacking.
Guibao little face flew up. Hmph, know厉害 now!
Neil’s injuries already treated by Alfea nearly fully. Just movement still inconvenient. She shocked glanced Guibao. Then somewhat limping walked to barrier front. Looking other side Faze. “Teacher…”
“I no longer your teacher. If you still have honour, should directly suicide before me!” Faze coldly said. Directly sat on collapsed ruins. Coldly watching barrier other side everyone.
“I no regret my actions. This unrelated honour. I have clear conscience.” Neil resolutely said. Just her eyes somewhat sad. “Zask and Meidu… how are they?”
“They not dead yet. But you greatly disappointed me. I will publicly judge you!” Faze coldly said.
Hearing two old friends not dead, Neil as if sighed relief.
Debbie now walked to Neil’s side. Supported Neil’s arm concernedly. “You now injured. First rest well. Guibao’s defence very strong. We here absolutely safe.”
Neil nodded.
Faze suddenly said, “You Star Empire strongest magic guild? Where? Come fight me!”
“Ye Chui not here now. But if you want fight him, will have chance.” Debbie looking Faze said.
“You since empire number one magic guild. Should fight for this title. Now shrinking in this defence array. Simply insulting empire number one title! Come fight me. Even if die worthy your borne honour!” Faze continued.
Hearing these words, Debbie tilted head seriously thought. Immediately wanted walk towards barrier.
Neil face greatly anxious. Hurriedly pulled Debbie. “Do not fall for Teacher Faze’s confusion. He excels attacking mental defences. These words just to make you leave barrier. Do not be fooled…”
“Relax.” Debbie gave Neil reassuring expression. Then walked to turtle pattern barrier front. Through barrier eye contact Faze.
Faze mouth curved cold smile. Dealing these kids too easy. Few words make them lose reason. He stood from ruins. Swung puppet arm. Prepared battle.
But…
“Shaleme, I suddenly want honey grilled meat. Green left honey right?” Debbie while eye contact Faze, loudly shouted.
“Have…” Shaleme replied.
“Then quickly make. I hungry again. Looks tonight cannot sleep. Then we hold grilled meat party.” Debbie announced.
Behind Neil. “…Eh!?”
Faze also surprised widened eyes.
Debbie hehe smiled at Faze. “Old sir, using honour etc to provoke us useless. That thing edible? Sell money? You think we reached now by what?”
Faze: “…”
Debbie already happily turned. Clapped palms. Asked Guibao. “How long can defence array last?”
Guibao proudly said. “Ten thousand years no issue.”
“Shaleme, our food enough how long?”
“Green left several hundred jin various magical beast meat. Frugal eat, last half month no problem.” Shaleme calculated.
Debbie turned hehe smiled at Faze. “Old sir, see who outlasts who.”
“…”
You how not play by rules!?
No exaggeration. Faze’s body even trembled from anger…
Neil somewhat puzzled looked Debbie. She heard of Debbie. Knew this Arbitrary Magic Guild vice president. But this speaking style truly eye-opening. She approached Debbie. “Miss Debbie, really no issue? If this spreads, Arbitrary Magic Guild facing outsider provocation, hides not daring fight. This probably very bad for your guild reputation.”
She originally firmly wanted persuade Debbie not go out fight. But now full of confusion.
“Said that thing what use. Relax. Really no issue.” Debbie carelessly waved hand. Then as if suddenly realised something. Looking Neil said. “Actually just now wanted ask you…” She looked Neil’s originally very cool, now from high fall somewhat torn even cooler outfit. Meaningfully asked. “You a girl how dress like this? Is this Tidal Empire clan special attire? Even hotter than Leisha and Celty. How can girl like this?”
“…”
Neil expression completely unbearable. Just now Celty already mentioned this. Now again?
She nearly loudly roared. “This all your president’s clothes for me. How blame me!?”
…
Shortly after Faze arrived blocking outside Ancestral God Temple, Ye Chui again contacted Debbie. He wanted know if Zask’s trio safely brought Celty to rendezvous.
[WeChat] communication just connected. Debbie used cheerful tone to Ye Chui. “Aiyo, belly stuffed. But Shaleme and I just discovered making honey grilled meat if add bit Green’s special seasoning, taste incredibly good. We ate till stuffed…”
“Already midnight. You not grilled meat till now?” Ye Chui somewhat surprised.
“Celty lost again.”
“?”
“Just now small accident—Fiorre originally temple rumoured evil spirit. He completely lost self began attack us. And opened dark portal escape. Longbao said sense Puppet God aura. That portal should lead Puppet Graveyard. Celty accidentally fell in. Bishop Xis also followed. Oh, and Zask and Meidu. Names right? They injured captured by Faze. Now Faze guarding outside us… Tell you. Guibao’s barrier lets grilled meat smell drift out. I already saw Faze swallow several saliva…”
Listening Debbie’s words, Ye Chui fell silent. What the hell. Who tell him what happened?
Then Ye Chui spent five minutes. Finally fully understood prior Ancestral God Temple events.
He could not help reveal trace worry. But knowing Guibao’s defence barrier could last near infinite time. He relaxed. Judged time. Said. “Then next you careful bit. Evans and Bart’s injuries. Here till morning can finish.”
“Relax. We shrink in Guibao’s turtle shell safest.” Debbie smiling responded.
“…Fine.”
Ended communication. Ye Chui looked Ancestral God Temple direction. Moments later looked behind house. In night, flashes lightning constantly from inside. Scientist quintet hotly conducting modifications and repairs on Bart brothers. Leisha, Celty, Guni resting nearby house. Xelas settled another dilapidated house.
Ye Chui carrying trace worry walked into quintet’s room.
Room filled Ye Chui exchanged various messy modded equipment. Several high IQ heroic spirits discussing something.
Wooden table as workbench. Visible Hanzo eyes closed lying there. Green back to Ye Chui standing before table. Hands waving as if evil scientist conducting some evil modification experiment. Making entire room atmosphere more evil and terrifying.
Ye Chui walked beside. Heard Green say. “President, noodles you wanted cooked ready. Quick taste.”
“Add more chilli.”
Mm, Green actually cooking noodles.
