Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?

In the past, no one had gotten as close to beastification as Fanen, so no one thought there was any difference in the watered-down sedative's effects, yet today, a problem has arisen at such a time!

"Wait a minute, my brother hasn't been parasitized by the insects, give him some time, he can make it through!"

Noticing that Uffie had already walked up to them, Isha hurriedly said.

Uffie showed a sorrowful expression for her and said, "It's unfortunate. I just saw a lot of insects burrowing into his body. In this situation, it's impossible to save him."

On her way here, she also encountered living people; however, before she could speak, they had been transformed into monsters by the parasites drilling into their bodies. Even if only one parasite entered the body, it would be an unsolvable deadlock.

That's why she constantly covered her body with Fighting Qi, to prevent parasites from getting in and causing disaster.

"No, our bodies have undergone Blood Therapy in the Dungeon; we are no longer afraid of parasites!"

"Where's the Dungeon in Red?"

Uffie thought the girl was probably so anxious that she was starting to spout nonsense. It's rare to find survivors; she had to protect her.

"Then tell me in detail, what are the Dungeon and Blood Therapy?"

She approached Isha with a smile, whether what the girl said was true or not, she wanted to take advantage of the moment when Isha relaxed her vigilance to pull her away from Fanen, whom she viewed as a dangerous parasite.

Perhaps sensing her intent, the still-crazed Fanen began to agitate, appearing even more dangerous to outsiders.

Just as Uffie was about to reach out, the meatballs behind her ruptured one after another; strand upon strand of parasites pounced toward her, only to be bounced off by the Fighting Qi covering her body, and then gathered into a new monster form when their ambush failed.

"A new variety I haven't seen before."

Uffie twirled her long spear; its blade immediately entwined with swirling Fighting Qi, even the aftermath made the monster's body tremble.

She thrust the spear forward, and the Fighting Qi pierced through the air, accurately hitting the monster's chest, twisting its body with rotating Fighting Qi, exploding into a sky full of bloody blossoms within moments.

But Uffie, she didn't watch how the monster exploded. Instead, she flamboyantly flicked her sleeve, turned around, pinning the brim of her hat between her forefinger and thumb, striking an overly showy pose, and asked, "Do I look stylish?"

"..."

If it were a normal time, Isha would likely have said stylish, but she wasn't in the mood now.

One strike killed the monster; this suddenly appearing girl's power far exceeded Isha's imagination.

"I have always wanted to, like my father in his youth, leave behind my own legend everywhere in the world, and every legend my father left behind must be accompanied by a stylish pose, so I have to start learning from this aspect. If rating, how many points do you think my pose deserves?"

"...." Isha still didn't know how to respond, but when speaking of legends of the strong, she recalled hearing tales in her childhood about "Sword Saint Japar striking down flying monsters with pebbles."

The next second, her vision blurred, only to see Uffie seizing the chance while she was distracted to snatch Fanen away from her side.

"What are you doing!" She immediately became agitated.

"I'm sorry, it's not that I don't believe what you said, but now he looks too dangerous, I must ensure he doesn't harm you."

Uffie, ready to use her fingers to poke Fanen's acupuncture point to render him immobile, had actions matching Japar's decisiveness.

But just then, the Saw Meat Blade that fell to the ground seemed to be controlled by some force, suddenly transforming automatically, and its transformed long handle was instantly grabbed by Fanen, who swung it toward Uffie.

She quickly released her grip, tapped the ground with the tip of her feet, and leaped back, dodging the attack perfectly, while Fanen performed an unexpected move; with beast-like eyes not yet fading, he tightly gripped the Saw Meat Blade and spun his body while leaping, simultaneously striking a Fire Paper, causing the blade to slash through the air with spinning flames, even singeing the hem of Uffie's clothing.

With three consecutive spins of unrelenting flames, he quickly advanced on Uffie, his posture making her eyes shine, exclaiming, "Nice moves, can I learn them? Will pay you royalties."

She somewhat exaggeratedly raised her long spear, intending to strike Fanen down with the spear's body, perhaps because she emphasized the stylishness of her movements too much, the extra actions seemed excessive, but what did it matter? Even with extra movements, she'd still be able to knock him down—

"Bang!"

A gunshot rang out.

Uffie suddenly felt a jolt like lightning in her chest, causing her to involuntarily kneel with weak legs. Raising her head, she saw Fanen's other hand gripping a Hunter's Pistol from which smoke was billowing out of the muzzle.

Huh? The one knocked down is me?

A fleeting confusion appeared in her eyes; she had never imagined that Fanen, with much lesser power than herself, had a way of countering her attack.

What kind of weapon is that? A shooting-type magic tool?

But in any case, the way he used that strange magic tool had a sort of clean and efficient style, surprisingly nice!

Fanen intended to approach her for a more candid exchange, but Isha shouted from behind, "Stop fighting!"

His thoughts instantly stalled, and the watered-down sedative finally took effect, bringing clarity to his gaze.

Wasn't I just fighting monsters? Who is this white-haired girl kneeling before me?

Before he could figure out the situation, the opposite Uffie broke out of her weakened state, suddenly raised her head, covering one eye with one hand like someone afflicted with chuunibyo, and said with excitement:

"Sorry, I need to learn your move before I pay!"

The uncovered eye suddenly opened, glowing with amber light, tiny lines of magic runes cascading within.

Uffie's Unique Talent, "Empathy," allows the user to feel everything their target of vision experiences.

And with her powerful talent in martial arts, Uffie can instantly imitate her target's movements using Empathy, rapidly learning their martial arts.

But this effect, surprisingly good, is often used by her to copy stylish poses she fancies, hoping one day to surpass her dad!

Fanen isn't sure what she intends to do, his beast-like nature hasn't faded, his will still grapples with madness, his mind flooded with visions of grotesque creatures, and the whispers of unknown entities; were it not for his past familiarity and the effects of Blood Therapy, he would have been unable to cope.

So he shouted to Uffie, "Don't do anything unnecessary!"

Too late.

Uffie had a smile on her face, scanning his entire body with her gaze, still maintaining her chuunibyo stance.

This movement continued for several seconds, unmoving.

Until Fanen tentatively picked up a branch from the ground and poked her, seeing no response, he murmured to himself:

"Why isn't she moving?"

But not entirely immobile; he noticed a bead of cold sweat rolling down the girl's smooth forehead; though her mouth was smiling, the excitement in her eyes had vanished.

She saw something completely incomprehensible to herself!
