Chapter 32 Qi_3
Unfortunately, as soon as she heard this, she realized that Yuan was not merely a simple villain, but he also lacked pure benevolence. He did not care about the concept of good and evil. The reason he was not a villain was merely that he found it meaningless, just as she was not a good person herself.
For such a person, if they were an ally, there would be the possibility of communication, but if they were an enemy, there was nothing more to say. To resolve the current crisis, she would still have to rely on brute force to defeat her opponent.
However, after the recent exchange, Emerald Sparrow had realized that this would not be an easy task.
Yuan's close combat skills were not inferior to her own, even slightly superior. Had there been no external interference, the fight could have gone on, but Emerald Sparrow knew that she did not have that much time.
Hong Siyu and the manifested magic armor could only be maintained for five minutes, meaning that after five minutes, both the integrity of the magic armor and the quantity of Magic Power would be severely diminished, and she would inevitably be unable to continue fighting like this.
Therefore, to end the battle, she had to act quickly and decisively.
With that in mind, she concentrated slightly and began to drastically draw on the Magic Power of the scissors in her right hand, unabashedly activating the Weave of Fate's scissor form.
In the intense clashing, the small tailoring scissors in her hand glowed brightly. Then, without hesitation, Emerald Sparrow directed the scissors towards the white fog surrounding Yuan, the blades slightly opening before snapping shut with force.
Crack.
After a crisp sound, the white fog surrounding both of them dissipated greatly.
Almost at the same time, not far off, Hong Siyu, who held the book, turned pale, and the wall of books behind her disappeared by a third as the scissors swung.
"Uh... cough cough cough!"
She took a few steps back, leaning against the wall of the meeting room that had become ruins. Holding her forehead, it took her a while to recover, revealing a wry smile, "With such an extent of magic power drain, has the senior been fighting with such magical artifacts all along? It's really... too exaggerated."
While her reaction was pronounced, the center of the battle was greatly affected by it. Yuan's offensive momentum almost came to a halt, and even her breathing became chaotic. Coughing a few times as if choked, she slightly withdrew from Emerald Sparrow and after a few deep breaths, raised her eyebrows in confusion, "My energy... has been weakened?"
Not far off, Emerald Sparrow gripping the scissors was also breathing somewhat heavily.
This was the first time she had used the replicated scissors to utilize their ability, and it was clear now that, although usable, it was indeed too taxing for Hong Siyu.
The effect of that one cut was the intrinsic ability of the scissors—separation.
Although the Weave of Fate's scissor form mostly necessitated the use of realms to achieve large-scale conceptual erasure, that did not mean the scissors had no function on their own. Continue reading on My Virtual Library Empire
In fact, even without the assistance of realms, the scissors possessed a very powerful ability. In the current situation, Emerald Sparrow had merely lightly used the scissors to separate Yuan's "energy" from her.
While this might seem underhanded, it was precisely why she had previously asked what Yuan's white fog was. Once Yuan explained the essence and principle of "energy," allowing Emerald Sparrow to understand it, she could use her ability to "separate" it from her opponent.
Of course, this separation was not permanent.
The moment of separation required a significant drain of magic power, and to maintain this state of separation, she had to continuously feed magic power into the scissors—this burden now fully fell on Hong Siyu.
That's also why, on the night of the Full Moon Festival, to permanently erase the concept of the Remnant Beasts on a large scale, Emerald Sparrow had no choice but to destroy her own scissors. Without doing so, she would not have had the magic power to achieve that effect.
And now, to resolve the fight as quickly as possible, she had to use this ability again.
