I'm Not the Young Lady's Dream Girl - [Vol. 1] Chapter 42
[Vol. 1] Chapter 42: Real and Fake Yuluo
“Why are you here? Where is Rhaenys?” Zach questioned.
Zach had no idea how Yinyue had managed to break free from Rhaenys’s grasp.
Rhaenys’s abilities were extremely difficult to deal with, even for himself, let alone now that she was blessed with divine power. The girl in front of him couldn’t possibly defeat her in a short amount of time.
“Well, she’s currently being held back by someone else.”
…………
Just a while ago, facing Rhaenys who was empowered by divine energy, Yinyue couldn’t possibly defeat her in a short time. The longer it took, the worse the situation would be for her. Yinyue had already sensed the familiar presence before, but it was still unpleasant.
If this continued, the deity might truly descend upon the world, and she didn’t have time to waste on Rhaenys anymore.
Without using her trump card, it was practically impossible for her to break through Rhaenys’s blockade alone. If only there was someone reliable to support her at this moment.
“It’s very dangerous to be distracted in battle~”
The tentacles behind Rhaenys attacked again, and Yinyue swung his light sword, preparing to counterattack.
The next moment, just as the tentacles were about to attack Yinyue, they were all shattered by bullets. Rhaenys showed a pained expression because when the tentacles were destroyed, the pain was transmitted to her through their connection with her nervous system.
“I finally caught up. It’s my turn to fight you now,” a voice came from not far away.
Zhang Wenze, wearing his favorite hat, appeared on the altar. Finally, he emerged from the space trapped inside the hat at this critical moment. Now, it was finally his turn to perform.
“Miss, leave this to me,” Zhang Wenze said to Yinyue.
Due to the mask, Yinyue’s appearance had changed significantly, and Zhang Wenze clearly didn’t guess that she was Yinyue.
“I understand. Then, I’ll leave it to you,” Yinyue said and stepped towards the statue.
Now it was up to Zhang Wenze. With his abilities, even if he couldn’t defeat Rhaenys, he could escape without a problem.
“Do you want to go past? Without my consent, you won’t.”
Rhaenys blocked Yinyue once again, intending to continue obstructing him.
*Bang!*
Gunshots rang out, several bullets came towards Rhaenys, forcing her to transform into purple smoke to dodge the attack.
But this also meant letting Yinyue leave.
Rhaenys turned to look at Zhang Wenze. “It was this annoying guy again, ruining my plans.”
She vowed to deal with him. Both sides faced each other, guns and tentacles aimed at each other. With the sound of gunfire, their battle began.
Back to the present, Yinyue drew his bow, already aimed at Zach’s head. Now wasn’t the time for unnecessary talk, it wasn’t her style anyway. It was better to quickly end this and deal with this old man.
She still needed to find her young lady. She wondered how the young lady was doing and if she had managed to escape the siege.
Miss Black Cat adjusted her state and used several strands of chains to restrain Zach, rendering him immobile for a short time, providing Yinyue with an opportunity.
Several silver lights struck towards Zach. Seeing the situation, Zach decided not to continue hiding his true strength. Terrifying aura emanated from him, and the chains around him began to shatter, deflecting Yinyue’s attacks.
Zach didn’t intend to play around with them anymore. It was time to show them the true power bestowed upon him by the divine. He wanted them to understand how weak they were in the face of such power.
Zach’s body underwent another transformation. His skin turned dark purple, his body became robust, completely different from the frail old man he was before.
Long tentacles sprouted from his back, and blood-red eyes appeared all over his body, glaring at Yinyue and Miss Black Cat, sending shivers down their spines.
“Hahaha, feel honored! You are the first to witness my perfect form. I will use all my power to return the favor,” Zach said excitedly.
Now Zach had completed his transformation, turning into a being that was neither human nor ghost. What was even more absurd was that he actually thought he looked good like this.
Yinyue couldn’t understand it, he looked much better as an old man. At least that appearance didn’t make her nauseous.
“Look at it, what a perfect body, what overwhelming power, and how weak you are!”
Zach displayed his current body to them, and in passing, mocked the girl in front of him. In the face of his new physique, their bodies seemed so fragile.
“You talk too much!”
Yinyue grabbed the light sword, unable to stand it any longer. This eyesore of a creature needed to disappear from this world quickly. Yinyue didn’t want to torture her eyes any further.
Gripping the light sword, she moved to strike his head. Zach made no move, and his head was easily sliced off by the light sword, falling to the ground as black blood gushed out.
Although his head had relocated, Zach’s body didn’t fall. It continued to move, and in the next moment, Zach’s body swiftly arrived in front of Yinyue and delivered a punch.
Fortunately, Yinyue reacted in time, using the light sword to block in front of her. Despite barely defending against it, the powerful force still sent Yinyue flying backward, and the light sword in her hand shattered, dissolving into light in the air.
Zach had become uglier, but he had also become stronger.
Seeing Yinyue about to crash into the wall, Miss Black Cat acted quickly and successfully caught her, holding her in her arms.
Yinyue was a bit puzzled. Why did she always end up being carried by others? Even though she was currently in a girl’s form, her heart had always been that of a boy.
“Are you okay?” Miss Black Cat asked about Yinyue’s condition.
Yinyue held her head, feeling the intense shock. She hadn’t expected Zach, empowered by divine strength, to possess such great strength, even shattering her light sword.
“I’m okay, thanks to you. Otherwise, I might have crashed into the wall,” Yinyue replied.
“No need to thank me, but if you insist on thanking, how about showing your gratitude in a more intimate way?” Miss Black Cat said, teasing Yinyue once again.
“This isn’t the time to talk about that!” Yinyue retorted.
“Fair point.” Miss Black Cat set Yinyue down.
Yinyue adjusted herself, feeling a bit unsteady after being let go by Miss Black Cat. Seeing this, Miss Black Cat kindly supported her.
Sister Yueyue’s hands was soft and tender, almost making Miss Black Cat drool. But they were still on the battlefield, so she restrained herself. She wondered how Sister Yueyue managed to fight with such a delicate and soft body.
Zach paid no attention to them at this moment. He walked over to his detached head and lifted it up.
Next, something eerie happened. Several tentacles extended from his neck, reconnecting Zach’s head with his body. After reattaching his head, Zach twisted his neck.
Yinyue looked at him incredulously. How was this possible? She had clearly chopped off his head. What kind of creature was he?
“Cutting off his head won’t work. He’s no longer human now. You need to destroy his core, the big eye on his chest,” Miss Black Cat explained to Yinyue.
“Are you two done talking? Then get ready to face my wrath.”
Zach launched another attack, hundreds of tentacles coming towards Yinyue and them. Yinyue summoned her bow and arrows, firing hundreds of light arrows. However, the arrows collided with the tentacles, leaving no trace on them.
Her attacks were ineffective against these tentacles, which were on a completely different level of strength compared to before.
Seeing the tentacles about to engulf them, Miss Black Cat once again lifted Yinyue and swiftly dodged the tentacle attacks with astonishing speed.
Miss Black Cat took out a necklace, and then the aura of death began to spread in the air.
Zach’s expression suddenly became serious. The girl in front of him actually possessed divine power too.
Miss Black Cat gripped her scythe and severed the tentacles attacking them. She began to engage Zach in combat. Although there was still a gap in their strength, holding off Zach was not a problem.
“I’ll hold him off, you go destroy the statue!” Miss Black Cat shouted to Yinyue.
Yinyue nodded, gripping her bow and arrow, aiming at the statue. Several silver beams of light flickered and flew towards the statue.
Just then, a huge ice sculpture blocked the attack. Yinyue was first surprised, then immediately dodged as a massive hammer narrowly missed her, almost sending her flying.
The ice sculpture shattered, revealing two people emerging from it. It was Ice Abyss and Yinya, Their eyes were lifeless, clearly under someone’s control.
How could this happen? Yinyue felt a sense of unease.
“Hahaha, didn’t expect this, did you? While they were fighting, I took advantage of their distraction and used special items to remotely control them, depleting most of their energy,” Zach laughed, seemingly declaring his victory.
This was troublesome. Having Yinyue deal with two S-rank anomalies was as good as suicide.
In the next moment, the giant hammer struck again. Drawing from her past battles with her mother, Yinyue successfully dodged the attack.
Suddenly, Yinyue felt a chill and leaped into the air as several ice spikes emerged from the ground. If Yinyue had stayed in place, she would’ve been in trouble.
On the other side, Miss Black Cat was also struggling. Despite her divine power, she was no match for her opponent. Throughout the battle, she had been on the defensive.
In the next instant, Zach launched another attack. Miss Black Cat countered with her scythe, but under Zach’s fierce assault, the scythe cracked.
As the scythe shattered, Miss Black Cat was knocked back against the wall, surrounded by smoke.
Zach walked slowly, the current situation had turned in his favor. Once he dealt with these annoying pests, he would continue with the upcoming ritual and bring about the arrival of the divine.
As the smoke cleared, Miss Black Cat’s mask fell off, revealing her true face. Zach widened his eyes in disbelief.
How could it be Yuluo! Wasn’t she being pursued by his subordinates outside? Why did she suddenly appear here? Zach’s mind was suddenly in turmoil.
If the person in front of him was Yuluo, then who were they chasing?
…………
Outside the palace, “Yuluo” looked at the followers of the Séance Society lying on the ground, deactivated her abilities, and returned to her original appearance.
“Miss, why do you always make me do such dangerous things?” Wei’er complained a bit.
This operation was really dangerous, and there were several times when she was almost caught.
“Don’t complain. Isn’t the entire Shadow Guard here to protect you?” Xiao Chun said to Wei’er, who was complaining next to her.
Wei’er thought about it and realized it was true. It was the first time she had been protected like this by the Shadow Guard. It was quite reassuring. But it would be even better if they all gathered to hang out instead of undertaking dangerous missions.
“Wei’er, what are you thinking about? You’re smiling so happily.”
Nana looked around and saw that there were no enemies left. She ran over to make sure that Wei’er hadn’t been injured, realizing that her worry had been unnecessary.
“Of course, I’m thinking about how to invite everyone to drink at the wedding after marrying Nana!”
“Wei’er, you’re talking nonsense again. I was worried about you.”
The two started to play around again.
Xiao Chun looked at the playful pair and couldn’t help but feel like they were an old married couple. Maybe one day Wei’er really would marry Nana. She would definitely attend the wedding.
This was the first time the young lady had ordered the Shadow Guard to act collectively, indicating the danger of this mission. Most of the time, each member of the Shadow Guard acted alone or cooperated with others. It was rare for them to gather like this.
She didn’t know how things were progressing inside the palace. She hoped the young lady and sister Yinyue were making good progress.
