Chapter 1561: Chapter 27: Weakness

Su Xiao released hundreds of blade auras at least, slightly panting; releasing the blade aura wasn’t an easy task.

"Roar!!"

An angry roar echoed from inside the flesh ball; Mira’s life energy, originally used to enhance her strength, was forced to be used for regeneration to resist the cleave, causing her to waste more than 60% of her life energy.

With a crack, the flesh ball burst open, flesh splattering. Mira stood naked on the iron board, strong winds blowing as her waist-long white hair fluttered with the wind.

Mira’s appearance drastically changed; her originally dark green long hair turned snow white, and her face became much younger, resembling a 17 or 18-year-old girl.

Emerald green light converged in Mira’s hand, rapidly forming an emerald green long spear, but just as the spear was about to manifest, her complexion changed.

Boom!

The flesh on Mira’s shoulder exploded, not due to Su Xiao’s attack, but because Mira failed to ascend to the Fifth Stage Witch, her appearance rapidly reverted, starting with her hair color, then her facial features.

Returning to her original appearance, Mira’s mouth twitched as she seemed ready to fight Su Xiao.

An avatar manifested behind Mira; it was an avatar entirely covered in red armor. The avatar appeared and merged with Mira, showcasing the characteristic of a Fourth Stage Witch—fusion.

Blood-colored patterns appeared on Mira’s body surface, her form enlarged and instantly transformed into a humanoid monster.

After Mira transformed, her form wasn’t too massive, just over two meters tall. Her muscular body clearly visible but not overly exaggerated, along with those claws emitting a bloody glow, gave Su Xiao a sense of danger.

...

After Mira fused with incarnation, she transformed into a humanoid being called Resentment. Judging from those blood-red eyes, Mira did not lose her reason due to the fusion; on the contrary, she was very calm.

"It’s been a long time since I turned into this ugly thing."

Mira flexed her claws; her ten claws were akin to ten curved short knives, glistening coldly.

Su Xiao had previously stayed away from Mira, precisely because of her ability to control blood, and now that ability was more potent; even from ten meters away, he could feel the blood inside him agitating, as if an invisible force was influencing his blood flow, causing it to reverse.

This wasn’t an energy invasion but control on a physical level, akin to magnetic force attracting metal, thus rendering the Blue Steel Shadow Energy ineffective.

Su Xiao leaped back two steps, and the sensation of being controlled disappeared.

Seeing this, Mira grinned, revealing her sharp fangs.

Unable to engage in close combat, draining blade aura too heavily, it was now a test of comprehensive ability.

Su Xiao plunged Dragon Slash into the iron plate beside him, the Duke of Extinction appeared in his hand, readying the bolt, aimed.

The iron plate beneath Mira’s feet dented; on the speeding train, Mira lunged towards Su Xiao face-first.

Bang!

An orange-red beam shot out from the barrel of the Duke of Extinction; it was a fire-attribute elemental bullet. During the previous encounter, Su Xiao discovered Mira feared fire. She wouldn’t utter a sound having her skull shattered by bullet, but she’d scream miserably when burned by flame.

With a crisp sound, the advancing Mira halted; her head vanished, yet even so, Mira still did not perish.

Su Xiao stowed away the Duke of Extinction; at the same instant, he pulled out Dragon Slash from his side. After Mira’s head was shattered, the sense of being controlled by blood was entirely gone.

Clang.

The blade aura slashed through, chopping Mira’s headless body into two sections. That wasn’t the end: Dragon Slash, enwrapped in Blue Steel Shadow Energy, rapidly sliced through various parts of Mira’s body, after a dozen blades, Mira was torn apart.

Large piles of dismembered limbs stacked on the iron plate, these dismembered limbs slowly liquefying, judging by the color, clearly turning into a pool of blood.

Su Xiao drew out a bullet dyed fiery red, manually removing the bullet’s tip, sprinkling the specially made gunpowder contained within the shell onto the blood pool.

A small piece of alchemy bomb appeared in Su Xiao’s hand, and he swiftly tossed it while leaping back.

The piece of alchemy bomb rapidly turned crimson in mid-air, that pool of blood surged, forming the likeness of Mira’s head.

"No!"

Mira shouted despairingly as the alchemy bomb dropped into the blood pool.

Boom!

Following a not-so-loud explosion, flames soared, rising over ten meters high. The high temperature even began warping the steel wheels of the train, with sparks showering.

The blood pool crackled and pop amid the flames, and heartbreaking screams echoed from within the blood.

"I was supposed to be... "

Poof, poof.

Two shots from D·Assassin scattered the blood-formed head; witches of Fourth Tier already began to outgrow humanity, not to mention Fifth Stage witches.

Mira nearly ascended to a Fifth Stage Witch, forcing other witches to harm the city for preparation to ascend to the Fifth Stage. Just a step away from success, she encountered Su Xiao.

Flames burned for a full five minutes before extinguishing, leaving half of the carriage melted to wax-like. Mira, of course, couldn’t escape.

...

The rewards for slaying Mira undoubtedly surpassed the majority of Fourth Stage witches; she belonged to the top echelon among them, even earning a title among witches—Blood Resentment.

Gathering Mira’s death proof, Su Xiao also took out Mira’s bounty order, marked an X on it, then leaped off the train. The next target promised even more excitement—a witch gathering point in the west, holding over 70% of witches listed in bounty orders. More importantly, a Fifth Stage Witch resides there.
