I’m just that mysterious and complicated of a woman.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mistblade sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I thought after Quiet Mountain you might have matured a little.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rita remembered what Y128 had once said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The story of Uncharted Star Sea is still going. There will always be new stories.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning from Quiet Mountain to Uncharted Star Sea felt like leaving a peaceful hidden paradise and stepping back into a war-torn ruin. The noise of life flooded over her again. Some loud, some warm, some painful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time she wrote a World Sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time she flipped a coin into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt like coloring a black and white painting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mistblade said flatly, \"So now you’re blaming Uncharted Star Sea for your habit of talking nonsense?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Blaming you works too,\" Rita replied casually. \"Someone has to carry the burden for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time she tried something new.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She activated Flower of Deceit, attempting to turn the chains into apples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Warden existed to capture escaped Prisoners, then the Mistblade bound by chains should also count as a kind of Prisoner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If someone was going to escape, they might as well all escape together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Click.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A soft unlocking sound echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crimson chains wrapped around the Moon Fox vanished and turned into a golden apple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rita stared at the apple in her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mistblade, newly freed, stared back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dark Mistblade arrived instantly, blades descending.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One aimed at BS Rita.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other aimed at Mistblade’s real body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rita took a bite from the apple and started running.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mistblade followed right behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She’s attacking you too?\" Rita asked while chewing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of chains sliding through empty space echoed again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mistblade shot her a look that clearly said she was not going to reveal the weakness of her skill in public.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rita glanced at the number above Mistblade’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tried using Moment of Reversal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under this game’s special rules, the skill counted as only a single valid hit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their health did not swap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mistblade simply lost one point of health.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Rita’s eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally she was not the one losing health.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stuffed the half-eaten apple into her mouth, crossed her twin swords, and unleashed another Caged Bird.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fresh crimson chains descended from the void and bound Mistblade again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The glow between Mistblade’s brows flickered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the illuminated portions had vanished, leaving only the outline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dark Mistblade reached her side and smoothly turned mid-charge, drifting straight toward Rita instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightning detonated as countless flower birds exploded across the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither Mistblade took damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rita glanced at the remaining half of the apple in her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She decided not to finish it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After running for half a minute while holding the apple, it transformed back into crimson chains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rita immediately wrapped them several times around her own wrist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she slowed down and waited for Dark Mistblade to catch up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not far away, the chained Mistblade looked at her with a complicated expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was that look?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was she impressed that BS Rita had already discovered the fatal flaw in the Warden ability?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rita stood there seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Dark Mistblade’s blade came down right in front of her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So that had been the look someone gives an idiot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rita turned and ran again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now even activating Wildfire Rekindled would not help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as she could not break the strange rule where attacking Dark Mistblade counted as attacking herself, there was no way to end this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Divine talent word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Divine talent word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once a divine talent became strong enough, only another divine talent could counter it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>QM Maple Syrup and QM Mistblade had barely awakened theirs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But QM Rita’s Extra Chapter had been unstoppable even for Deceitful Bloom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that had been a weakened Deceitful Bloom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Player?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wildfire?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Order?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Restart?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None of them felt right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None of them stirred her soul flame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rita could not figure out her divine talent word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She also could not find the Warden’s weakness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her skills did nothing to Mistblade’s real body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But attacking Dark Mistblade only hurt herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Escaped Prisoner...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly Rita turned and sprinted toward Mistblade’s chained body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she ran, her form shrank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She transformed into an orchid mantis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tiny mantis no more than five centimeters long dove straight into Mistblade’s nine fluffy tails.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little insect vanished instantly inside the fur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It crawled toward a chain wrapped around one of the tails and squeezed into a gap, letting the blood-red mist from the chain envelop her completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mistblade stared in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the mantis entered her tails, all nine tails began whipping wildly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Partly because it tickled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mostly because she knew Rita’s attempt had worked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BS Rita’s presence vanished beneath the crimson chains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was now completely covered by the chains’ aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system had judged her as a captured Prisoner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Prisoner branch ability was not fully evolved yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The incomplete Warden left Mistblade unable to control the chains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could only watch as the Warden returned to her own body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Dark Mistblade disappeared, the crimson chains dissolved as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The orchid mantis did not jump out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still clinging to a fox tail, Rita crossed her forelimbs and activated Caged Bird in mantis form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vine and lightning were her companion elements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She did not need swords to use them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her left forelimb became lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her right forelimb became flowers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, white flower birds swirled around the Moon Fox while golden lightning gathered above her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mistblade had no Prisoner left to use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course she still possessed many powerful survival skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the 1000 intelligence limit reduced her mana pool and sealed off most of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Warden had already consumed a massive amount of mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was currently using a skill to recover it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BS Rita was probably in the same situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Rita had enough mana, she would have already cast a full arena Caged Bird.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mistblade instantly dissolved into mist and scattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The orchid mantis fell to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was exactly the moment Rita had been waiting for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Less than five minutes remained in the match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The difference between their health totals was still over 200.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter what she did, Rita could never land two hundred valid hits in five minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had been waiting for this mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caged Bird dispersed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A rune lit up on her wrist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mana surged instantly, filling her entire mana bar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stored power of Periodic Savings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cured But Salivating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just to be safe, Rita used the ultimate version.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, every player in the arena heard Mistblade’s voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I surrender. If the system doesn’t count this as a loss, I’ll die right here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Congratulations.
