Chapter 1171: Chapter 1158: You’re Too Weak, Move Aside, Let Me Do It Chapter 1171: Chapter 1158: You’re Too Weak, Move Aside, Let Me Do It When a warm current surged from within her chest and flowed through her body, the excruciating pain that made breathing difficult dissipated, and her laborious breaths once again became smooth.

Moreover, it was not just that. As the warm current pulsated, the girl felt her limbs and body getting stronger—she was acutely aware that she was becoming more powerful.

But at that moment, the girl suddenly noticed flames igniting next to her. The stench of her doll burning reached her nose, which slightly astonished her, for she realized that the flames were lit because of her.

“What’s this?” The girl stood up from the ground, looking at the phenomenon on her body with slight surprise. The flame pattern spread across her skin in crimson gold color, radiating intense heat, igniting the dust particles in the air around her.

“There’s no need to be surprised; this is just a trivial amount of power that I’ve bestowed upon you.” A voice, seemingly with a hint of a smile, echoed in the girl’s ear, “Now, it’s time for me to collect the corresponding price.”

Without waiting for the girl’s reaction, one stream of the warm current inside her body surged directly towards her right eye. A faint warmth appeared, and as it dissipated, the girl found that the world before her had become brighter.

She could “see” more things, such as the colorful specks in the air and the dark, repulsive gray mists mixed within.

Being able to see more didn’t thrill the girl because she realized that the eye which granted her true sight was not under her control. Her right eye moved ever so slightly under the manipulation of some entity, while she was forced to passively take in everything this eye showed her.

“You…” Noticing this, the girl’s face immediately changed. Instinctively, she raised her hand to cover her right eye, which was no longer under her control.

“I sense anger,” the voice, which was ethereal and lofty, was no longer imposing but rather playful, “Why are you angry? A mere eye in exchange for your life, plus the power you now possess.

Many would beg for such a deal, and even if you searched the whole world, you would not find such an opportunity. Besides, you have previously agreed to offer everything to me. Now I’ve merely taken control of one of your eyes. When I don’t interfere, you can still use it.”

“Is that all?” After the initial shock, the girl gradually calmed down. Trading one eye for her life and current powers was indeed more than fair.

Thus, the girl lowered her hand and looked through the shattered display window towards the outer world—the cityscape that resembled Hell and the evil spirits rampaging in the sky above the city. Then, a strong, undisguised intent to kill emerged in her eyes.

Normally, she should inquire about the origins of the being that whispered in her ear, saved her life, and granted her powers.

But right now, her mind was not on that. She was contemplating whether she could annihilate the hordes of evil spirits ravaging the city with her newfound powers.

“Do not have any doubts about the power you now possess, for I have granted you enough strength to accomplish all that you desire.” The commanding presence whispered softly, as if sensing the girl’s doubt about the powers bestowed upon her.

The girl, having received a definitive answer, stepped over the display window that she had shattered and walked out of the shop. Then she took off the longsword she had been carrying on her back and drew it from its sheath.

The bright blade reflected the city ruins that looked as if they had fallen into Hell, and then it was enveloped by crimson gold flames. Spirit runes like dragon snakes shimmered on the blade.

The girl glanced sideways, somewhat astonished to see the longsword in the flames become larger, wider, and sharper. Any sensible person would know that the sword had been enhanced by her power.

“Is this the effect of the power you have bestowed upon me?” The girl stepped forward, heading toward the location of the nearest evil spirit she had seen.

“Do you mean weapon enhancement? That’s just one of the uses. The power I have given you is not limited to just that.”

Already transformed by the power transmitted from outside the Void into dragon snake-like vertical pupils, the being looked around, particularly at the evil spirits rampaging through the city, and noticed something very interesting.

Of course, he needed to watch a bit longer to be sure. If he wasn’t mistaken, this world was quite fascinating and might even warrant a personal visit from his true form.

Woo!!!

The roar of the evil spirit endowed with the power to incite mortal fear reverberated through the air. Therefore, the girl, who had come specifically to hunt evil spirits, saw through the half-collapsed building the monster devouring the living energy of humans.

It was a semi-transparent spirit body with an upper half vaguely resembling a human form, its features grotesquely twisted. Beneath it lay a human, almost reduced to a mummy from having its life force drained.

As the evil spirit slowly turned its semi-transparent body, it then looked towards the girl. Its resentful eyes were filled with malevolence towards all vibrant life.

In the face of such a spirit that regarded creatures as food, the girl had nothing to say. She wielded the longsword that had become almost as tall as she was and struck down at the evil spirit.

Clang~
Amidst the crisp clanging of the sword, a semi-transparent blaze was cleaved forth by the girl, and a furious wind swept along with the flames, condensing into a pale red sword light.

The sword light swept across the street, the intense heat spreading and distorting the air, even igniting some flammable fabric scattered on the ground.

The evil spirit didn’t even have time to let out a wail before being extinguished by the pale red sword light; its semi-transparent spirit body contracted toward the center, then exploded with a bang, scattering into a shower of fire.

“Just like that?” The girl, after witnessing the powerful evil spirit being so easily cleaved by her, was a little stunned, a bit slow to react, “That was too easy, wasn’t it?”

“Or what did you expect? Wielding my power and fighting a battle of three hundred rounds with an undead devoid of even the most basic intelligence? If that were so, where would that leave my face?”

Muria, who had descended into this world thanks to the girl’s determined call, retorted, sensing that this world was different from the ones he had descended into before; at the very least, his will could remain here very easily without a hint of dissipation.

“In that case, I can do more,” the still oblivious girl, not yet aware of her good fortune, clenched the sword in her hand and looked in other directions. With the powerful insight of the Dragon Snake Pupil, she once again locked onto another evil spirit.

Muria watched somewhat bored as this human girl, wielding the minuscule fraction of power he had transferred, went on a killing spree in the city, annihilating evil spirits with strong malice toward creatures one after another.

The power granted by Muria, though insignificant to him and diminished during the transfer, when fused into the girl’s body, resulted in cheat-like consequences.

“Now you can see how strong the power I granted you is, right? Now you can try to slay the strongest of the evil spirits.”

As Muria gathered more and more information, he became increasingly convinced of his speculation, and then he spoke to the girl with a seductive tone, guiding her to further confirm his guess.

“I know.” The girl, who inherently harbored a strong hatred for such non-human monsters, didn’t need Muria’s guidance at all. Once she was convinced she had enough power, she proactively approached the source of the city’s disaster, a twisted giant evil spirit that seemed to be forcibly kneaded together from various different creatures.

A moment later
Boom!

The body of the girl, wreathed in flames, traced a line of fire through the air, smashing through more than a dozen walls before crashing into the ruins of a house, followed by the sounds of painful coughing.

“Didn’t you say the power you granted me was more than enough to defeat the evil spirits? Why did I lose?”

With multiple fractures in her arms and chest and extensive soft tissue damage, the girl pushed away the stone slab on top of her and asked in frustration.

Unlike the first time when she was on the brink of death from merely being caught in the aftermath, she had indeed become essentially stronger now, having fought several rounds with the strongest evil spirit before being swatted away.

Although she was still thrown away and injured just like before, she now felt her body was rapidly recovering, and she still had the strength for another battle, but the outcome was different from what she had expected.

“I’d like to know myself why you, wielder of my power, would be defeated?” Muria was equally speechless, just as he had never anticipated that in his past life, a teammate of six deities would solo the dragon in the pit and get smacked to death by the dragon.

“It’s your fault, you’re deceiving me,” the girl countered firmly, not believing the issue lay with her but rather with this mysterious being who had not given her sufficient power.

“Nonsense! It’s clear your combat awareness is too weak, with no sense or skill in close combat. My only mistake was overestimating you.”

Seeing the clueless girl, Muria immediately scolded her and then switched to a persuasive tone, “Mortal, do you want to save your city?”

“Yes,” the girl responded without hesitation, her eyes filled with anticipation, “Does that mean you are prepared to grant me greater power?”

“The power I’ve given you is already enough,” Muria said solemnly, “You are simply too weak, so hand your body over to me, let me take control for a while, and let me lead this battle.”

Muria, who had determined the unique aspects of this world, said to the girl as his true self began to deduce the coordinates of this world.
