Dimensional Codex System: I'm really not a cultist!

Chapter 458: Chapter 457 Judgement Ceremony (IX)

The Kingdom of Flame and the Land of Wealth had failed.

At this point, almost everyone could draw this conclusion. If you were to say that the strengths of both sides were similar, and the victor was decided by a surprise move or luck, then the outcome might still be unpredictable. However, one only needed eyes to see that in the preceding three-on-three battle, the side of the Kingdom of Flame and the Land of Wealth had been thoroughly toyed with by those girls from start to finish; they hadn’t even managed to harm a single hair on their opponents.

If this was the fate of all three from the Kingdom of Flame, then obviously, it went without saying for the two from the Land of Wealth. Therefore, seeing this, everyone believed that in this group match, the defeat of the Kingdom of Flame and the Land of Wealth was set in stone. Bear in mind, this was a capture the flag battle - even without further details, if those two girls couldn’t defeat the two from the Kingdom of Flame, as long as the other three people rushed to the flag point and defended for one minute, they would easily claim victory.

Thinking of this, many people cast their eyes towards Lieutenant General John, and indeed, as if to confirm their speculation, his face was gloomy at the moment, as if someone had publicly stolen his wife. However, what was strange was that sitting not far from him, the fat representative from the Land of Wealth appeared completely at ease, as if he was in no rush at all.

What was going on? Watching the fat representative’s serene demeanor, others were equally baffled. Based on the current situation, the Kingdom of Flame and the Land of Wealth had essentially been utterly defeated. Did they still have some other tricks up their sleeve? Or did these two simply not care about winning the group match and only wanted to tie with Fang Zheng?

Moreover, regardless of individual match outcomes, wouldn’t the failure in the group match still result in a significant loss of face for these two countries? Lieutenant General John’s expression, similar to one bitten by a dog, was understandable, but who were you showing your calm and composed attitude? Could it really be that he was so thick-skinned and fat-bodied that he didn’t take this matter to heart at all?

Putting aside what was happening outside, at this moment in the arena, the battle continued. After defeating three opponents, Natsuse, Nobiru, and Tina converged and proceeded towards the hill where the flag was located. On the other side of the path, a figure clothed in a black robe was silently moving, ghost-like, through the shadows.

”Huff!!”

Just as the girl was about to step onto the narrow mountain path, suddenly, a dark shadow sprang out from the bushes beside her, lunging towards its prey.

The girl’s reaction was not sluggish. Faced with this sudden attack, she almost immediately halted her steps, and a hexagonal barrier quickly formed a circular shield around her, blocking the attacker’s assault.

It wasn’t until then that the attacker, who had launched the attack from the shadows, revealed his figure—a burly body covered in fur, and a head resembling a wild beast. His gaping mouth revealed sharp teeth, with drool seeping through the gaps and dripping onto the ground. A pair of golden beastly eyes exuded a taste of bloodthirst and brutality.

”Hehehe, I’ve finally caught you, my little cutie...”

The werewolf bared his teeth, letting out excited panting. His eyes were fixed intently on the girl in front of him, his tongue stretching out to lick his own lips.

”Ah, such young, beautiful flesh, my favorite. I can hardly wait to savor and taste your flavor. When I pin you to the ground and tear at your flesh, what kind of screams will you emit? Hehehe...”

The voice of the werewolf, sounding like an evil spirit, echoed, but the girl cloaked in the black cloak merely watched her enemy in silence, showing not even the slightest reaction. Her ”non-cooperation” clearly annoyed the werewolf, who extended his hand, with sharp claws shooting out from his fingertips. Then, once again, the werewolf squinted his eyes.

”It seems you’re quite confident in your little turtle shell, huh... Well then, let me see how long you can hold up!!”

No sooner had he spoken than the werewolf transformed into a bolt of lightning, lunging at the girl once again.

”Bang!!”

The werewolf’s sharp claws, amid a howling current of air, struck against the shield by the girl’s side and were swiftly repelled. But the werewolf did not give up his attack; with a leap, he used the recoil to readjust his direction, charging at the girl yet again.

”Bang!!”

”Bang! Bang!”

What was happening?

Looking at the scene on the screen, everyone was startled. If the previous battles could be considered quite intense, then the current scene unfolding was decidedly one-sided. The New Moon Werewolf was launching a frenzied attack on the girl, while the white-haired, red-eyed girl stood still like a doll, motionless. No matter how she was attacked, she showed no response at all.

At first, everyone thought she might have a big move hidden up her sleeve like Natsuse or Tina, but as they watched, they realized... This girl really seemed to just be getting hit all the time!

There was no display of any bizarre weapons, nor did she demonstrate any particularly powerful abilities. She just stood there, unmoving, and didn’t even blink. No one knew if she truly couldn’t catch the werewolves’ movements, or if it was due to some other reason...

”Bang!!”

The werewolf’s attack hit the girl’s barrier once again, and this time, accompanying the werewolf’s assault, the hexagonal shield in front of the girl finally started to flicker and wobble, not as sturdy as before. Seeing this, everyone’s spirits were lifted!

Now that girl should react, right?

But to everyone’s disappointment, in the face of the werewolf’s strike, the girl still stood there unmovingly, staring blankly ahead as if she was completely unaware that her shield was about to fail. However, for the werewolf, this was a huge encouragement. He let out a series of hair-raising sinister laughs, and once again pounced toward his prey.

”Bang Bang Bang!!”

”Crack!”

Finally, as the old saying goes, hard work pays off. Under the werewolf’s successive attacks, the girl’s shield was broken. Seeing this, the werewolf instantly let out an excited shriek. He dashed forward without hesitation, and his two claws, as if mixed with the sound of a howling storm, reached out. In the werewolf’s eyes, all he needed to do was to lightly claw at his prey, and he could easily tear her into pieces, then... enjoy her delicious flesh!!

Unfortunately... the world is always full of surprises.

”Clang.”

When the werewolf’s claws pierced the girl’s body, what he felt was not the familiar sensation of soft flesh, but rather, it was as if his claws had struck a piece of hard steel! No, not even fine iron was this hard!

What the hell is this?

Feeling the recoil from his own claws, the werewolf was taken aback. Had it not been for his quick reaction to retreat when he realized something was amiss, his claws might have ended up as two clumps of indistinguishable, mangled flesh!

But that wasn’t the point. The point was, at the moment the werewolf struck the girl, she finally moved!

She didn’t have Tina’s mysterious unpredictability, nor did she have the attack speed of a storm like Nobiru, nor the dazzle and splendor of Natsuse. The silver-haired, red-eyed girl simply picked up her long spear and lightly swept it at the werewolf, hitting his waist. The strike looked so weak and powerless, as if a maid who had no heart in cleaning was casually wiping down a windowsill.

But the result was shockingly eye-opening to everyone.

”Boom———!!!”

In the instant of being hit by the girl’s fork, a pumpkin-sized hole instantly burst open in the werewolf’s waist, countless pieces of flesh were shredded into bits, and he himself gave a dreadful scream, tumbling backward as he was blown away. Accompanying the howling gust, he crashed through the forest. Even the towering trees in the forest couldn’t block him, and one could see the trees inside the forest crashing down one after another, not stopping until three hundred meters away!

”Hiss———!”

Seeing this scene, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.

Just a light hit sent a werewolf flying three hundred meters?

Was this girl a descendant of the Titan Giants?
