Chapter 538: A Special Transformation
The elvish woman quickly got up, using her dexterity to pull away. She quickly noticed that her robe had fallen off and no longer obscured her looks.
The woman quickly saw where Xiao Lin’s shock was from, and green flashed in her pupils. Her voice was raspy and low, feeling closer to a man’s voice as she asked, “Xiao Lin? You’re Xiao Lin! I can’t believe you’re here!”
“Do I know you?” Xiao Lin found it strange that she knew his name.
“Asabanor gave me a picture of you long ago. Even if I die, I will remember you!” The woman clenched her teeth, her voice filled with anger.
Xiao Lin put his hand on his Holy Sword, fully on alert as he asked confusedly, “Hold on. Do I have any grudges with you?”
The woman smiled coldly. “You killed my sister, did you forget it so quickly? It’s really like you otherworlders. You’ve never taken our lives into consideration!”
Xiao Lin was even more confused, but he quickly remembered. When he was returning from the Silver Province to Dawn City, he was ambushed by an elf. In the end, he had used his Ruin state and dragon breath. He smiled bitterly, not expecting to have met the elf’s sister. Was that fate?
“It looks like you finally remembered? You otherworlders say an eye for an eye! I had been planning on saving you for last, but since I’ve met you, I’ll just kill you here. Asabanor will be very happy.” The woman mocked. She was speaking in Normese, but ‘an eye for an eye’ was said in garbled Mandarin.
Xiao Lin could not help but let out a cold laugh. “I seem to remember your sister being a dark elf. It seems like you might not be a dark elf, but you still know dark magic. I can’t believe the elves have stooped so low as to help Asabanor, I think that Judge Academy will be very happy to know this.”
“It’s fine, there’s no reason to worry about a dead person. Asabanor just wants your body. It doesn’t matter if you’re alive or not.”
Xiao Lin was surprised, and asked, “Did you come here for me?”
The woman opened her mouth, but stopped. “Trying to get me to talk? Quit dreaming!”
Xiao Lin shrugged. “It doesn’t matter. Once we capture you, our interrogators will get you to speak.”
“Capture me?” The woman raised her eyebrows. “How are you going to capture me? That special state of yours? Or that sliver of dragon breath you have?
“If those are all your trump cards, then you can just go ahead and die.”
Finishing her words, the elf woman’s white skin began to glow green. Xiao Lin was shaken, and a familiar scene quickly appeared. It was not the first time he saw that strange transformation. From Valen Argos to the general, that strange green light seemed to have a mysterious power that could greatly boost someone’s power.
The elf woman obviously had a lot of information on Xiao Lin, which was why she knew of Xiao Lin’s Ruin state and dragon breath sword, and that they were both Xiao Lin’s greatest skills.
“Even if you know of it, I want to see how you defend against it!” Considering the increase in strength after the transformation, Xiao Lin did not want to drag things on for too long. He did not hesitate to enter his Ruin state.
The woman’s transformation was quickly completed, but it was different from the two prior. The mysterious green energy had changed into light green, and countless complicated black patterns appeared. Her muscles expanded as well, but not to an exaggerated degree. The greatest difference was her back. Her shoulder blades rose until it ripped through her clothes, and two jet black wings extended outward.
The woman did not care about being exposed after her clothes ripped apart. She unfolded her wings, and swayed them in the air as she worked to stabilize her flight. She seemed to not be used to that state, and the wings were not very large. They were only around half a meter long. The wings were filled with leaf-shaped feathers, and the leaves were all green. They were also not solid, and formed by energy.
Xiao Lin immediately opened his Eye of Truth. Ever since noticing that ability, he had been using the eye more and more. With the Eye of Truth, all falsehoods were turned to nothing. He could see that the wings were a mix of dark death energy and shattered life energy.
Of the three main energies, life and death energy were not supposed to mix. However, the woman had the two energies in perfect harmony in her wings, forming an even more terrifying power.
“I know you’ve fought Valen and that stupid man from Rosa, but if you think I’m the same as them, then you’re underestimating me.” The woman’s voice turned more womanly, but was still very raspy.
Even though she did not have the exaggerated muscles and explosive strength of the earlier two, Xiao Lin felt a sense of danger he never did before. That was why after activating Ruin, he did not hesitate and immediately converted all his strength to dragon breath.
Xiao Lin wanted to use his dragon breath sword to kill that dangerous woman immediately. Even if it was a pity not being able to capture the woman for information, his life was far more important. After all, they no longer had a resurrection tower in the royal city, and they could not risk themselves.
The elvish woman smiled as she held her wings out two to three meters in the air, seemingly getting used to her state, and not bothering to dodge.
Of course, dragon breath had a very obvious energy-gathering stage, but that also allowed the special sword aura to be extremely destructive. There was no way to dodge with speed.
The dragon breath sword quickly completed and was sent out. Xiao Lin used much more power this time, and the white light was accompanied with an intense shaking of a level 12 earthquake. The entire royal city felt the impact, and the nearby Century Casino was starting to collapse.
The shaking continued for minutes, and even Xiao Lin himself shook under the immense ripples of energy. He had used many times more energy than he ever had, and even holding on was hard for him. If he ended up getting hit as well, there would be no way for him to survive.
That was why Xiao Lin only dared to move forward after the energy receded. As the dust cleared, the winged, green woman remained in midair.
