Chapter 408: I Concede!

"Elisa, why can't my beams penetrate your skin?"

Just as Elisa dodged an attack once again, Lan Qingyou yelled from afar.

"..."

Elisa didn't answer, just single-mindedly letting the Chimera chase after Lan Qingyou to attack.

Originally, she thought that by deploying the Chimera, which was strong in both magic and speed and could fly—her strongest synthetic beast at the current stage—she could defeat the enemy in one blow.

But the result was still a tug-of-war.

She had also realized that between herself and Lan Qingyou, whether it was in ideals, research, or combat ability, they were evenly matched.

It could be described as neither could do anything to the other.

If it were before, Elisa might still have some patience to play with Lan Qingyou.

Therefore, Elisa released two more Chimeras to encircle and kill Lan Qingyou.

This time, although Elisa still used her standard large hand-waving motion, perhaps because she was anxious, she let Lan Qingyou see it clearly.

It turned out that whether it was the Tuatha Dé Danann below or the Chimeras, they were all stored in glass spheres by Elisa.

When she threw them, the glass spheres would expand and shatter, and the things inside would come out with a 'bang'.

Speaking of which, Lan Qingyou was surprisingly familiar with the name of this thing.

—Shackle Orb.

How about it, is it just one word different from the Shackle Chest?

Lan Qingyou guessed that this thing was either researched by Elisa or researched by the people from the masquerade ball.

Of course, there was no evidence, just pure intuition.

"Ouch!"

Lan Qingyou dodged the other party's frantic attacks, and then quickly raised her flight altitude.

After reaching a certain height, she made a turn, quickly brushing past the two pursuing Chimeras, and charged towards Elisa at the very back.

To prevent the two Chimeras behind her from turning around and attacking her, Lan Qingyou even controlled the two Floating Cannons to play with them.

"Haha, Elisa, you're this anxious just after I asked one question? Then it seems I've finally hit upon some core issue!"

Raising her hand and firing two non-attribute Magic Projectiles at the other party, Lan Qingyou laughed loudly.

Afterwards, the two staggered their positions and launched a second round of attacks.

"Let me think about why you are so anxious."

"With the power of my beams, they can break the defense of a B-grade monster, yet they can't break yours. Either you are of the Demon Race, or you have some powerful personal defense magic, items, or the like."

"But judging from your previous performance, none of these are the case. Then excluding these answers, the remaining one, although a bit horrifying, is the only one left, right."

Speaking up to here, the corners of Lan Qingyou's mouth curled up in a smile.

After using her shield to block an air bullet from Elisa and a fireball from a Chimera, she yelled at the top of her voice.

"Cells? Biology? No, no, no, Elisa. The way I see it, you should have taken..."

"I concede."

Her face ashen, Elisa directly raised her hand.

The words Lan Qingyou was yelling at the top of her voice hadn't even been finished before being interrupted by Elisa's astonishing action.

Astonishing?

It was indeed astonishing.

It's just that it astonished those guys watching the spectacle outside.

"Why did she surrender just like that?"

"There's no reason. No matter how I look at it, I feel like the Workshop Witch has the upper hand now, right?"

"No, I actually think that the battle between the two has now entered a deadlocked tug-of-war phase, and it's the kind where neither can break the other's defense."

"Just now, the Tower Witch seemed like she wanted to say something, but who knew the Workshop Witch directly surrendered?"

"What a pity, I thought we could hear something as explosive as the weakness of the Demon Race again."

"Rest assured, it's definitely explosive, it's a pity she didn't say it out loud."

"Who says it isn't."

The people who could fully concentrate on watching this competition up to now were basically all stakeholders of some sort.

After hearing Lan Qingyou's yell, all of them couldn't help but sit up straight, wanting to hear what new revelations there were.

Some even went so far as to directly call over their subordinates, preparing to make a full transcript.

In the end, no one expected Elisa to raise her hand and surrender so decisively, rendering their preparations useless.

And for Lan Qingyou, this was completely within her expectations.

No... it's better to say she had planned it this way.

Just like Elisa knew that the battle between herself and Lan Qingyou fundamentally couldn't be decided, Lan Qingyou had also seen through it.

So...

Under the circumstance where everything was comparable, what could be contested was probably the information gap.

Although she couldn't see the other party's specific information with her own Analytical Demon Eye, through comprehensive consideration of the other party's attire, the items used, the combat style, as well as the other party's research, and other information, she drew a conclusion.

And that was, the other party might be even more unwilling than herself to see her trump cards exposed.

Since this was the case, then there was a breakthrough point.

Although she didn't know if her guess was right, it didn't prevent her from saying it out loud.

As long as the other party had even a little bit of scruples, then she could press her advantage and obtain the final victory.

And in fact, the development of reality was exactly as she had thought.

After howling at the top of her voice a few times, the other party really did surrender.

There was no helping it, after all, Lan Qingyou had a 'criminal record'.

Right now, the people of the Demon Race almost hated Lan Qingyou to the core, this guy who exposed the weaknesses of their entire race.

If she let the other party continue spouting nonsense on the live broadcast like this, she might really shake something out.

As for whether the other party's guess was correct or not... Elisa could only say she didn't dare to gamble.

"You're ruthless. I didn't expect that to win, you could actually go to this extent."

After announcing her surrender, Elisa lowered her hand and looked at Lan Qingyou, speaking rather indignantly.

"No, no, no, compared to you, this is nothing."

Lan Qingyou smiled and waved her hand.

Although it seemed to be just a perfectly normal polite remark, in reality, this sentence had already exposed Lan Qingyou's conjecture about Elisa.

Elisa's eyes narrowed slightly.

It seems she really did guess it.

Even under the condition of her Demon Eye being restricted, she could still guess the gist of it?

Just this ability to synthesize and analyze intelligence alone was already very formidable. She was truly a difficult guy to deal with.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

[Congratulations to the Tower Witch, Lan Qingyou, for becoming the ultimate winner of this race competition!]

Just as Lan Qingyou and Elisa were looking at each other, inwardly roasting each other, colorful fireworks burst out in the sky.

And the previously gray surrounding scene also transformed back to what the arena looked like before.

It's just that because the pile of Homunculus corpses and Golem fragments on the ground occupied too much space, the arena didn't shrink in size due to the transformation.

But anyway, it was already over, so whether it shrank or not didn't seem to be a big problem.
