Chapter 257: Battle of the Pit (7)
"It seems my guess was right. Ouroboros actually mobilized three Heavenly Kings. What? Do you want to wipe me out too?"
Faced with Yiyin's question, Isabella seemed helpless.
"I'm here to save you. Otherwise, according to my calculations, you and I would all die here."
"What? Is the Flesh and Blood Scythe so terrifying?"
Isabella ignored Yiyin and clapped her hands, calling out the Starry Unicorn.
"But no matter what, Su'er, now we can fight side by side again."
To be honest, Yiyin has always been confident in Isabella's strength. She is the fifth of the Four Heavenly Kings of Ouroboros, so how could her strength be that weak?
"Go, Little Blue!" Following Isabella's command, the Star Unicorn began to exert its strength. It looked a bit stronger than before, obviously becoming stronger.
Yi Yin was not to be outdone and said the same thing:
"Go, Little Green!"
Even after reaching A-level, the Green-haired Turtle still found it difficult to break through the Flesh and Blood Scythe's defense. The Flesh and Blood Scythe's strength was beyond the reach of Yi Yin at the moment.
But in Isabella's eyes, these were not problems at all.
The Starry Unicorn flapped its wings, and hailstones that seemed to appear and disappear began to fall, transforming into tiny bits of ice that restrained the Flesh and Blood Scythe's forward steps.
"No, the Flesh Scythe is now an S-rank monster. Freezing it for long won't stop it."
Yiyin, who had fought against the Flesh and Blood Scythe, knew how terrifying its power was, so he reminded Isabella.
Unexpectedly, Isabella was not at all panicked. "It's okay. Xiaolan is already at S-rank level."
Hearing this, Yiyin felt shocked.
The difficulty of upgrading from A-level to S-level is much greater than that of upgrading from D-level to A-level combined! Even if Isabella was extremely talented, it would be impossible for her to upgrade the Starry Unicorn from D-level to S-level in such a short time.
Thinking back to when I first met Isabella at the Cross Base, her monsters were all D-rank, just like mine. Why was it so...
"Did the Queen do that?"
Yi Yin wanted to get closer to see Isabella's face. In his impression, Isabella didn't seem to have changed much. Even if there was, he probably wouldn't be able to notice it.
Being distracted during a battle is a big taboo, and Yiyin finally realized it.
In the brief moment that Yiyin was stunned, the Scythe of Flesh and Blood had broken through the shackles and threw a blood-colored wheel towards Yiyin.
The green-haired turtle relied on its impeccable defense to block the fierce attack of the Flesh and Blood Scythe for Yiyin.
But the Flesh and Blood Scythe is not interested here, its real target is Isabella!
It can be said that the Flesh Scythe kicked a rock by provoking Isabella.
Isabella's own fighting ability is not weak. After all, she has been instructed by the Queen.
When Shura's Purgatory Blade was used, Isabella rushed over and started fighting with the Scythe of Flesh and Blood.
Of course, Yiyin couldn't let Isabella fight alone, so he hurriedly took out the Basalt Blade from the storage ring and joined the battle to defeat the Scythe of Flesh and Blood.
This was the first time the two had worked together, but they performed surprisingly well.
Their steps were completely synchronized, and their sword-wielding postures were almost identical, as if they had been carved from the same mold.
But despite this, the two were unable to force the Scythe of Flesh and Blood into a desperate situation.
Yi Yin was already sweating profusely at this moment. After the fusion of the Flesh and Blood Scythe and Fang Yixing, he no longer had to worry about his injuries and could handle any kind of attack with ease.
If this drags on little by little, once the physical strength is completely exhausted, it will be time for the Flesh and Blood Scythe to strike back.
"impossible."
Isabella seemed to have seen through Yi Yin's thoughts. "Just like in our world, no matter how powerful the monsters on Blue Planet are, they are still subject to certain rules. Since the Flesh and Blood Scythe chose to merge with its master in exchange for strength, it also gave up some of its own power. Perhaps in the eyes of the Flesh and Blood Scythe, its master is just a mobile blood bag."
"what do you mean……"
Yi Yin quickly understood, "The reason why the Flesh Scythe is so strong is because it can recover its strength by the number of people it kills? No... it shouldn't have killed anyone."
Yi Yin believed from the bottom of his heart that his companions were definitely not dead. Even if it was an A-level mission, they could complete it smoothly.
"Yes."
Isabella continued, "Before coming here, I had Xiaolan cover this pit with dreams. For the Flesh Scythe, it didn't kill anyone, but instead restored its strength."
Yi Yin was about to scold Isabella for being unreliable. Dreams are a ruthless double-edged sword. She should have realized this when she was in the Dragon Palace. Why did she still do this?
"That was my mistake."
In front of Yiyin, Isabella was like a child who had done something wrong. Perhaps even she herself did not realize how lawless the Star Unicorn's ability could be.
"I understand. Since it's a dream, all we have to do is reverse it."
Yi Yin was ready to die. "If I don't do this, not only Fang Yixing, but even Bubulu and the others won't be saved, right? Logically speaking, the Flesh and Blood Scythe is almost at its limit. If he kills me, the fusion will end due to exhaustion..."
"no!"
Isabella firmly denied it, "I'm here to save you, not to watch you die! Brother, you have your reasons for living, and I'm willing to be a stepping stone on your path forward. After all, this is why I came here..."
"Ha ha ha ha."
Yi Yin smiled and rubbed Isabella's head. "Silly sister, have you forgotten that we are both time travelers? This means we can secretly exploit 'loopholes' to target the judgment. Besides, I believe you. Since your monster is already S-level, if you freeze me the moment I'm killed, maybe I can even resurrect myself."
"And even if I do die like this, that's fine. At least I can choose how I die. ...Okay, trust me this once, okay? And Xiaolu, trust me, I will definitely become a master with strength that matches yours. Before that, I will never fall so easily."
As he spoke, Yiyin made his preparations. He took the initiative to throw himself into the arms of the Flesh and Blood Scythe, and was soon attacked fiercely by the Flesh and Blood Scythe.
"..."
Isabella naturally wouldn't let Yiyin's "sacrifice" go to waste. When the Scythe of Flesh and Blood was about to lose its existence, she let the Star Unicorn release her latest unique skill.
"Extremely cold ice coffin!"
The blade spun with a strong icy aura, as if it could freeze people into ice sculptures, and brought real-life killing damage to the Scythe of Flesh and Blood.
Almost at the same time, she let the Starry Unicorn release cold air to save Yiyin's bloody body.
However, there was a look of disappointment on her face that was hard to conceal.
"Brother, compared to our last battle, your progress is truly pathetic. You're too weak, so weak that you can't even defeat me. With your current level, how are you supposed to defeat the next enemy?"
