"Just curious, what’s your Awakened Ability?"
Wu Liang, hovering mid-air, suddenly asked Fla in his grip, his gaze continuously searching for sothing on the ground.
Upon hearing his question, Fla stiffened a bit, timidly answering, "[Searing Flas]... I can turn my entire body into fire elental form, release flas, and beco immune to most physical forms of damage, code-nad Fla."
"Physical forms? So you can’t die from falling, right?" Wu Liang’s next question puzzled Fla.
But she still hesitated and said, "At this height, it’s fine. As long as I use my Awakened Ability before landing, I won’t even get hurt."
In front of this cruel and cold colleague, who spoke like a killer, Fla was extrely scared.
Although her ability and code na sounded extrely violent, Fla herself was a very gentle girl, so much so that everyone on the team even treated her as a mascot pet.
But strangely, her timidity was only towards people.
When facing Fierce Ghosts, Fla was instead very calm, and even during so frontal confrontations, she would take the initiative to deal with the Fierce Ghosts.
"Then I can rest assured, you can fire elentalize now." Wu Liang said blandly.
"Huh?"
That statent caught Fla off guard, as she was still being held mid-air!
If she suddenly used [Searing Flas], wouldn’t the other party’s hand get burned?
"Don’t freeze! Quickly! We’re running out of ti!" Wu Liang’s tone grew slightly more insistent.
To this, Fla could only close her eyes, grit her teeth, and reluctantly squeeze out a sentence: "Be careful then..."
Whoosh—
As soon as the words left her mouth, accompanied by a surge of high temperatures, Wu Liang felt that what he was holding was not a person, but a mass of fire preparing to set everything ablaze!
Even his hand, turned into a Fierce Ghost by the Breaking Blade, felt a bit of scorching pain. It seed Fla’s Awakened Ability was more powerful than imagined.
This was a fla capable of directly harming Fierce Ghosts!
"Shadow, this is possible... huh?!"
Before Fla could finish, she was suddenly engulfed by a strong sense of weightlessness, followed by the continuous acceleration of gravity acting on her.
Upon opening her eyes and looking up, she found that youth was still staring ahead coldly, maintaining a throwing motion with his hand.
"Hey!!! What are you doing?!!!"
Whoosh—whoosh!
After being tossed by Wu Liang, she seed like a teor from another world in the air, with the howling winds drawing a graceful trail of flas behind her.
Perhaps people at a distance even thought it was a shooting star and started making wishes.
anwhile, a teammate on the ground in the southern part of the comrcial street, hiding not far away, was observing a person inside a clothing store making a bizarre potion, calculating when the others might arrive.
His abilities were not suited for frontal combat, so he could only be anxious.
Suddenly, a flash of crimson raced by overhead.
"Damn! Did the captain request a missile from above?" The blazing fast object scared him into quickly ducking his head, almost digging a trench to hide in.
"Ah~ Ahhh~"
Vaguely, he felt like he heard a familiar scream from the object that had just passed over his head.
Before he could think about what kind of scream it was, that "missile" accurately crashed into the clothing store where the fake goods were hiding.
BOOM—
The whole store erupted with a loud bang, turning to ash amidst the roaring explosions and engulfing fires.
With Wu Liang’s Fierce Ghosted monstrous strength combined with gravity and Fla’s own ultra-high temperatures, the impact was no less powerful than a small teor!
Forget about the bizarre potion the fake was creating, the fake himself didn’t even have ti to react before being smashed into minced at and then incinerated into dust!
Whoosh—
The teammate standing outside was dumbfounded, looking at the clothing store that was perfectly fine a second ago, now reduced to ruins, unable to say a word.
In a whoosh of fla-laden wind, he saw a fiery silhouette walking out.
Then, picking up a communicator, she murmured, "Mom, I saw the Blazing Angels..."
"Blazing Angels my ass! I’m going to kill that Awakened from Team Two! Asking if I can handle falls! You were planning to use as a rocket!?"
Fla cursed and grumbled as she walked out from the ruins, brushing off the ash and rubble, then pointed a middle finger at the sky.
The sound of unpleasant Morse code beeping ca from her mouth, causing the teammate beside her to shake his head repeatedly.
He had never heard the usually gentle Fla girl curse so harshly.
It was truly remarkable...
"Wait? Thrown down? There’s soone up there?"
The teammate was puzzled for a mont, then followed Fla’s gaze, looking up to see a sudden white mist in the night sky.
But the important thing wasn’t the white mist—it was the enormous swarm of bats, seemingly covering the sky, gathered ahead of the mist!
Under the cover of darkness, none of them had noticed the tens of thousands of bats in mid-air!
Before Fla and the teammate could react, the swarm of bats swallowed the entire white mist!
This scene suddenly left Fla, who had been cursing, in a daze, her mind flashing back to the last rebuke from the cold youth before throwing her down—running out of ti!
The "running out of ti" he ntioned—could it be because the swarm of bats was closing in!?
If he hadn’t thrown her down to the ground, she might have been the one surrounded in mid-air now!
"Was he... saving ?"
Fla knew very well that after elentalizing, her immunity to physical ans was only partial, not absolute.
Like a high-altitude fall, the real damage ca only from the impact at landing, which she could indeed withstand without injury.
But if surrounded and attacked by thousands of bats, the quantity could fully compensate for the quality gap, just like ants trying to cross a sea of fire, forming an ant ball and rolling over.
The ants on the outer layer get scorched, but the ones inside remain unhard.
The bats continuously piling up and biting could eventually encase her until her fla extinguished and her Awakened Ability faltered.
By then, she could be dood.
"Hey... please don’t scare ... you put on such a cool facade, don’t let anything happen to you..." Her tone turned timid again.
By this point, Fla was genuinely worried about Wu Liang, who was surrounded by the swarm of bats.
Maintaining the flying Awakened Ability must consu a lot of Spiritual Power! And with so many bats to face!
If his Spiritual Power couldn’t hold up, falling from this height would an nobody could save him!
Just as the two on the ground began to worry about Wu Liang’s safety, sothing strange happened.
Plop—
Suddenly, a bat ceased flapping its wings for no reason and fell from the sky, crashing into the ground and turning into a mush.
Rustle—rustle—
Imdiately, countless bats began dropping, en masse, like raindrops falling!
At the southern end of this street, an astonishing bat rain began to descend!
Fla rushed forward to elentalize her entire body again, intending to burn all the falling bats.
But upon approaching, she found these bats had all stopped breathing and died!?
They hadn’t stopped flapping and fallen—they were already dying in mid-air, causing their fall!
"Fla! Look up!" the teammate shouted towards her.
Raising her head, Fla beheld a scene that would remain unforgettable in her life—
Still the tall figure holding a cleaver and severed limbs, but now wearing a ghostly mask that instilled fear.
In front of him, a man in an official uniform exposed from the dwindling bat swarm was struggling in agony.
Fake goods’ neck was encircled by a ring of white mist, like a shackle, hoisting him in mid-air, attempting to hang him from this dark night.
Under the moonlight, the young man in mid-air looked like a night executioner, the white mist his elusive wings; before him was a criminal struggling and begging for rcy.
The silent judgnt shook everyone who witnessed the scene.
"Mom, I saw the Grim Reaper again..."
