Chapter 403

Lumine and Paimon looked up and saw a woman dressed in Mirror Maiden attire, with many Fatui members following behind her.

"Are you the leader?" Paimon asked, hands on her hips: "Could it be that you are also a Fatui Harbinger?"

"No, I am only a middle-level officer in charge of this place. How could I be mentioned in the same breath as a Harbinger?"

The veiled woman denied it, her tone lacking the violence one would expect toward intruders, but rather quite calm.

"Lady Natashka, don't waste your breath. Kill them, don't let them have a chance to escape this place!"

Listening to the words of the Fatui subordinates, Lumine was full of question marks.

Where did you get the confidence to say such things?

I am someone who can fight against the Raiden Shogun!

Even if a Harbinger were in front of me, they would likely be defeated as well.

"Just by relying on you?"

Her mood was already bad, and under the influence of the Archon's resentment, Lumine rushed up without another word.

After only a few minutes, the Fatui's initially arrogant and tough words gradually changed.

"Don't let them interfere with the plan! Kill them!"

"This guy, is she not afraid of death? How is she so strong!"

"Don't retreat, the Harbinger will be here soon!"

"Ah! Save me!"

That's it?

After dealing with everyone in a few swift moves, before Lumine could force them to reveal the secret location of the Delusions, she heard a round of applause from above.

"Well done. To be able to find this place, I really should praise you for your persistence."

The duo followed the sound and saw a young man wearing ronin attire and a strange hat, clapping his hands gently.

"Who are you?" Paimon was very vigilant.

"Hmm, you can call me the Fatui Harbinger, Scaramouche. Oh my, it took so long and so many people died just to get here. It really wasn't easy."

The first sentence he spoke directly sent Lumine's blood pressure soaring.

"You guy!"

Watching the blonde girl whose anger was constantly rising, the boy who called himself Scaramouche flickered his gaze, sketching a cunning smile.

"What, am I wrong?"

Paimon put her hands on her hips and said: "As long as we destroy this factory and explain the situation to the resistance and the Shogunate, they will know that the Fatui are causing trouble, and the civil war will definitely stop."

"Is that so? Let's see if you can leave here safely first."

Scaramouche seemed to have no intention of wasting more breath with them, his tone gradually turning cold.

"Hmph, as long as I defeat you, everything can still be saved!"

It was the first time Lumine had such a strong desire to kill, and this emotion became increasingly intense.

Holding her sword, Lumine just intended to channel her elemental energy, but her body felt as if it were being interfered with and sluggish, unable to operate smoothly.

At the same time, her brain felt dizzy, and a feeling of nausea and vertigo rose from her heart.

Her face turned pale in an instant, and Lumine knelt on the ground after taking just one step, unable to move.

"Ah! Lumine, what's wrong with you?"

Paimon was startled, her heart tightening.

She had felt something was wrong with her before, and now it had really come true.

Seeing this, Scaramouche couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, what a foolish person, so easily provoked. Anger is the best food for the Archon's resentment in this factory. It seems your journey ends here."

Before he finished speaking, he saw pink light gradually flickering on Lumine, who was having major problems.

The laughter stopped abruptly, and Scaramouche frowned, staring intently at this sudden change.

"This is?"

"Oh my, this little one cannot be lost here, so I will take her away, Mr. Harbinger."

A charming and alluring voice drifted from nowhere, filling the entire space.

Watching the light surrounding Lumine and the bewildered Paimon become increasingly intense, until it was too dazzling to open their eyes.

After only a few seconds, the blinding light flashed and disappeared, and the two had already vanished from the spot.

Scaramouche, squinting his eyes, lowered his hand that was shielding his face and looked at the empty space in front of him, saying coldly.

"Meddlesome fox."
