Still controlled by the illusion, manipulated the SAM armor and ca straight for Derick.
Derick continued to absorb the dreamscape, while dismounting his polearm, sheathing his short spear, and wielding his longsword to fight 'Firefly' in her SAM armor.
With only one hand available, Derick's movent capabilities were limited. On Firefly's side, controlled by Suanyang, her attacks were also chaotic and without discipline.
The two fought to a temporary stalemate.
At the sa ti, the surrounding illusion was continuously being absorbed.
The surrounding world was continuously breaking down. The distant universe and planets were like crumpled drawing paper, twisted and deford before finally disappearing. This was caused by Derick absorbing too much illusion energy; Suanyang was almost unable to maintain her illusion any longer.
Seeing this situation, Suanyang's heart grew anxious. The controlled Firefly couldn't defeat Derick, and the authority from Voracity was continuously absorbing her illusion. The final outco could only be to quietly wait to be completely drained by him.
"This kind of thing, no, don't!"
Suanyang thought to herself.
Threatening Firefly's safety was useless, trying to defeat Derick with nurical superiority was impossible, and even bringing out Firefly's true self wouldn't work.
Finally, she had no choice but to resort to her last thod. It was ti to act herself.
While Derick was fighting Firefly, suddenly another 'Firefly' identical to her appeared. It was the body manifested by Suanyang, and it now attacked Derick.
Derick was using one hand to devour the surrounding illusion, and the other hand was still dealing with Firefly's attacks. In such a situation, what else could he do?
"If you've got the guts, then don't devour this illusion; let the Glamoth Iron Cavalry bury you."
Suanyang thought with a cold sneer.
Suanyang approached Derick, swinging the light blade attached to the SAM armor and attacking him. Seeing her light blade about to pierce Derick's chest, a hint of triumph flashed in Suanyang's eyes.
She wasn't trying to kill Derick; she knew about his immortality. But if Derick was severely wounded, couldn't she try to possess his body? If she knew Derick's secrets and mastered his abilities, couldn't she even challenge the Luofu General?
Suanyang harbored such beautiful fantasies, watching as the light blade approached within five ters of Derick.
Then, it could no longer advance an inch.
A short spear lay horizontally across the edge of the light blade. Derick's left hand gripped the short spear, blocking Suanyang's attack.
"Did you give up devouring the surrounding illusion?" Suanyang shouted ecstatically.
"When did I ever say that devouring the surrounding illusion required my hand?" Derick said to Suanyang. Imdiately, he gripped the short spear and swiftly thrust it at Suanyang.
His other hand wielded the single-handed sword, attacking Firefly without slowing down.
Seeing this situation, Suanyang knew there was truly no other way. She swung her light blade, fighting desperately.
"Even soone as powerful as you cannot defeat two Fireflies at the sa ti!"
Suanyang shouted in exasperation.
Watching her shout in exasperation, Derick's movents remained calm and graceful. Facing her attacks, Derick responded unhurriedly. And while responding, he also said to Suanyang, "I indeed cannot defeat two Fireflies. But, does your strength match Firefly's?"
As he spoke, Derick quickened the movents of his short spear, launching a continuous barrage of attacks at Suanyang.
Suanyang extracted Firefly's mories, and in this illusion, she possessed the sa energy and combat skills as Firefly. However, there was one thing she simply couldn't compare to Firefly in. That was the combat intuition gained from years of fighting the Swarm. Suanyang only had the mories; she hadn't personally experienced those things, so intuition wouldn't be brought over.
Facing the sa attacks from Derick, Firefly would anticipate and dodge during impacts, causing Derick's attacks to miss. But on Suanyang's side, by the ti she realized Derick's attack movents and then tried to dodge, it was already too late. The armor Suanyang controlled was brutally pierced through.
And after being pierced, Derick's attacks continued. Every move was fatal, every strike a critical hit.
The three of them exchanged quick blows for hundreds of rounds.
Derick and Firefly were mostly unhard, but Suanyang's body was now riddled with holes. Unable to maintain her form any longer, Suanyang reverted to her true body. At the sa ti, the surrounding illusion also vanished before Derick and Firefly, leaving only pitch darkness around them. So remnants of the illusion remained, and these were also absorbed by Derick.
"Please, spare ! I won't reveal your secret!" Suanyang wanted to escape, and as she fled, she also said this to Derick.
"Too late."
Derick glanced at Firefly, who hadn't woken up yet, quickly ca before Suanyang, and grabbed it.
"No! Don't—"
Suanyang let out a shrill scream.
But her pleas for rcy now were too late. Derick used his devouring ability to consu Suanyang and pull it into his body.
Within a few breaths, Suanyang was completely devoured by Derick.
After finishing this, Derick finally turned his gaze towards Firefly.
At this mont, Firefly slowly opened her eyes. She had been conscious and witnessed the entire process of what Suanyang did, except for the very last part of the battle. Seeing Derick, her gaze was calm.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Derick."
"Should I call you Firefly? Or should I call you SAM?" Derick asked Firefly.
Firefly lowered her head in thought for a mont, then looked up at Derick and said, "Please call Firefly. We know each other, and from the beginning, I wanted to interact with you all using this na." Saying this, her tone was a little wistful: "If you call SAM, that's fine too. Calling Firefly ans you still consider her a friend. But calling SAM would an Derick is angry because of her deception, and that the two of us are no longer friends."
During this ti, she had seen the help from Hyacine, Bailu, Cipher, Derick, and others with her own eyes, and she also wanted to make friends with them.
Faced with this question, Derick answered without the slightest hesitation.
"Then I'll still call you Firefly. Let the na SAM be reserved for that cold, lifeless armor." Derick said to Firefly.
Hearing Derick say this, Firefly showed a faint smile.
Derick said to Firefly, "I expect that when you get out, both Cipher and Castorice will have a lot of questions for you. Let's go, let's leave this illusion first. Your handling will have to wait until later."
He already knew Firefly's information, so asking more would be aningless. It was better to leave this troubleso matter to Cipher and Castorice.
