Chapter 1364: Chapter 1109: Looking for Trouble
In the upper planes, the clouds of war had gradually begun to spread. Within the Heaven Realm, the rumor that the Emperor was preparing to make a move against Elsa reached a fever pitch. Against such a backdrop, even the number of gamblers in Ghost City had dwindled significantly. It was said that Elsa, who always liked to travel around, had recently been staying in Ghost City without leaving—apparently worried about the imminent war.
In the midst of these rumors, one day, First Prince Sajia suddenly appeared in Ghost City with ten mysterious people.
These people were called mysterious because they were cloaked in black capes that hid their entire bodies, making it impossible to discern their appearances. However, from their silhouettes alone, these warriors were very tall, and the astonishing pressure they exuded could be felt without even getting close.
However, everyone was puzzled—why wasn’t First Prince Sajia staying put in the Imperial City at such a critical time? What was he doing in Ghost City?
"Of course, I’m here to gamble!" Sajia said to the Ghost Spirit girl who was receiving them.
"Gamble? I don’t buy it! This is a show of force, isn’t it?" Nim cried out after hearing the news.
"Keep cool," Elsa said.
"Sorry, sorry, but I really don’t understand what he’s doing here at this time," Nim lowered his voice.
"Only he knows the meaning of his visit, and when he shows us what it is, we’ll understand too," Elsa was surprisingly indifferent. This was the typical Long Yi mentality: As long as I’m strong, whatever schemes my enemies might plan against me are useless. Besides, becoming strong and straightforward is actually simpler than engaging in cunning tricks.
As Sajia appeared, Elsa could not continue to sit back and watch. Thus, in the largest gambling house in Ghost City, Elsa and Sajia walked towards each other.
"Long time no see, my sister. You are still so beautiful after all this time," Sajia said.
"And you look much more haggard after all this time," Elsa said.
Sajia smiled faintly, preparing to exchange for chips while Elsa directly handed him a black chip.
"What does this mean?" Sajia asked, holding the black chip.
"These games are quite complex. Take this to start with—you don’t have to pay if you lose, and of course, you can’t take away a penny if you win," Elsa said.
"Heh," Sajia flicked the black chip back to Elsa and requested the girl exchanging chips to swap for him. The Ghost Spirit girl looked at Elsa, who smiled faintly and then nodded her head.
On the first game, Sajia lost everything, so he exchanged for some more.
On the second game, Sajia again lost everything and continued to exchange.
On the third game, Sajia still lost everything, and this time, he flipped the table over.
"Bastard! I suspect this place is all about cheating money! Deliberately scamming my money!" Sajia roared.
"See, I told you these games are complex, and a fool like you can’t play them. So, how about I refund the money you’ve lost?" Elsa said with ’patience’.
Nim stood aside, secretly sneering to himself. Elsa was never patient, and her patience now was entirely about waiting for Sajia to make his move.
"Refund the money? Heh, dare to scam my money, today I’ll make you regret it for the rest of your life!" Sajia stepped back two paces, and the two warriors beside him simultaneously raised their hands, and dazzling columns of light burst forth, targeting the onlooking gamblers.
However, after the screams, the imagined scene of bodies strewn everywhere did not happen because the two columns of light were blocked.
"If you were just looking for trouble, I might think you had made a little progress. But you come here flashing your might, lose a pocketful of money, then attack innocent guests for no reason. I must say, Sajia, oh Sajia, your brain is really devolving," Elsa said.
Boom!
Elsa’s powerful punch was thrown at Sajia but stopped halfway by a cloaked warrior with a single hand.
"You didn’t really think I would stand in front of you without any defenses, did you?" Sajia said boastfully. There was a time when Elsa had always had the upper hand in strength in front of Sajia, rendering him powerless. But now, things were completely different!
"Tremble before my power!" Sajia shouted.
"If I were you," Elsa shook her head, "I wouldn’t have uttered those words before I had an absolute advantage. It’s too shameful."
As she spoke, gray Light Wings suddenly spread from Elsa’s back, and powerful energy erupted. The capes of the towering warriors in front of her were shredded in an instant, revealing their true forms.
Energy armor.
—There was no difference between them and the warriors Elsa had encountered on that mysterious planet before.
Then Elsa took a few steps back and said, "I don’t know why you are so confident in showing off your strength, but it seems these must be the reinforcements you brought. Let’s go; I’ll find a place for us to fight slowly."
As she spoke, Elsa unexpectedly turned and walked away.
Watching Elsa’s retreating figure, Sajia had to restrain himself several times from ordering his warriors to attack. In the end, he held back, because, even though he didn’t know why the Emperor had made this arrangement, he was here to showcase his military might, and this time he would completely shatter what Elsa was most proud of! It didn’t matter where they were!
The outskirts of Ghost Spirits City had vast plains, and although there was nothing like an arena, it really wasn’t necessary.
Following Elsa and Sajia’s arrival were many gamblers. These were either nobles or wealthy merchants who were very eager to witness the battle. They all had a premonition that this fight could become a historical turning point.
"Are you coming up too, or are you just going to watch from a distance?" Elsa called out to Sajia from afar.
"As if I need to dirty my hands to deal with you personally?" Sajia said with scorn. As he finished speaking, several warriors by his side glanced at him. Clearly, Sajia, a weaker figure, immediately caused dissatisfaction with his boast. However, no one pursued the matter further as they were just following orders.
"Alright then, since I’m just dealing with an ordinary soldier, I might as well send out waitresses or something," said Elsa.
And sure enough, from behind Elsa, several girls dressed in waitress uniforms appeared, the exact number being ten.
"Isn’t this inappropriate? I feel like the warriors from the First Prince’s side seem to be more powerful," said a gambler who was watching from a distance to his friend.
"It seems these are the warriors brought by the Emperor. Ever since that spaceship hovered over the sky of the Imperial City, these warriors have never shown themselves. Today should be their first appearance. And the power of that strike just now was truly astonishing," his friend replied.
"So, do you think these little girls can win?"
"It’s hard to predict such things, but Elsa has always been good at creating miracles."
"Hahahaha! What, are you playing the transformation trick again? Bring it on! Let me see how your sexy beauties are going to defeat my powerful warriors!" Sajia shouted excitedly, his face almost contorting with the thrill.
"Transform, remove all restraints, fight with full force," Elsa ordered.
The power of the Ghost Spirits surged, radiant light flickered, and the ten adorable girls disappeared, replaced by ten sexy female warriors in skintight armor.
The fully enclosed skintight armor made it impossible to see their faces, but their stunning figures were unmistakably revealed!
Immediately, one of the spectators got a nosebleed.
"Hahaha! Is this your way of lowering the enemy’s combat strength? Too bad, so sad, your tactics won’t work on my warriors! Go, my warriors! Tear your enemies apart!" Sajia yelled loudly.
Almost immediately, energies from both sides clashed. To Sajia, all of this should have ended in a blink of an eye. But when the swirling leaves soared into the sky, he was shocked to see that his supposedly invincible warriors were completely blocked by the female warriors on the other side!
How was this possible!
Having personally tested those energy armor warriors, Sajia was convinced that their strength far surpassed any found in this Plane, marking them as fearless opponents here. Yet just now, those seemingly delicate girls actually withstood the assault from the energy armored warriors!
This cannot be! Sajia screamed inside, refusing to believe what he was seeing.
Not only him, but the warriors themselves were also incredulous. In their eyes, they were the pinnacle of power in this Plane, with no one able to withstand their attacks. Yet, their shorter opponents were not only blocking them but were also pushing them back step by step!
"Remove all restraints! Attack with full force!" the leader of the warrior team shouted.
Energy rippled outwards. This time, the energy armor warriors truly unleashed their full power. Meanwhile, the Ghost Spirits girls also released their full strength. Each side was sheathed in armor made from energy alloy, but one was made up of individual plates, while the other was an integrated fully enclosed structure. Who would prove stronger?
Boom!
An energy armor warrior was blasted away but managed to stop mid-air forcibly. The Ghost Spirits girl who had launched him flew up, delivering a heavy kick to his chest. The sharp heel of her boot pierced through the breastplate, causing a collision of energies with no gap between them. As a result, the warrior was sent flying again—this time unable to stop mid-air—and crashed heavily to the ground, carving a groove into the earth.
Sajia was stunned.
This wasn’t aligning with the agreed script. His warriors should have been strong, and they did indeed seem powerful from their initial show of strength. So why couldn’t they defeat the Ghost Spirits girls? What was the reason?
The reason was that the Ghost Spirits girls were also very strong!
"What’s going on?" Sajia called out to the squad leader who was still in combat.
"The skin-tight armor on our opponents, it bears a resemblance to the properties of our energy alloy!" shouted the leader of the energy armor warrior team. (To be continued.
