Chapter 12 I'll Teach You How to Make a Nice Moan
"Boom—"
As the massive headless corpse of the Emerald Twin Blade Demon collapsed with a deafening roar, the absolute coldness and deathly silence that filled the entire city wall receded instantly like a tide.
"Thump."
The moment Bai Ye's consciousness left, the terrifying force supporting her body vanished instantly.
Cai'er felt a sudden darkness before her eyes, as if all her spiritual energy had been drained in an instant. Her legs went weak, and she collapsed onto the blood-stained city wall.
Even with Bai Ye's unparalleled skills, killing a fifth-tier demon king was still a terrifying burden for this petite eleven-year-old body, which was only at the fourth tier.
"Quick! Protect Cai'er!"
Zhang Hairong was the first to react. He let out a roar like a fierce lion protecting its cubs and charged forward with his heavy sword.
"Splash—"
Without any prompting, the veterans from the surrounding battalion rushed forward, their eyes red, and surrounded the weakened Cai'er, protecting her tightly in the center.
Several tattered heavy shields were raised high, forming an unbreakable human defense line.
Just now, this little girl saved all of their lives in a desperate situation; now, even if it costs them the last man in the battalion, they will never let any demon harm a single hair on her head!
"Waaah—waaah—"
Fortunately, just as the dual-wielding demon horde was preparing to launch another counterattack, the dull horn signaling a change of guard finally sounded.
The fresh troops of the Second Battalion charged up the city wall like tigers descending the mountain, instantly holding the line.
"Phew..." Zhang Hairong breathed a long sigh of relief, wiped the demon blood off his face, and carefully covered Cai'er with the warriors as they quickly dismantled the city wall that had been like a meat grinder.
……
Upon returning to the barracks, Cai'er immediately swallowed a high-level Spirit Recovery Pill and entered a deep meditative state while sitting cross-legged.
When her parched meridians were once again nourished by the warm spiritual energy, her consciousness skillfully sank into the sea of spirit.
"How are you feeling? Is your body still able to handle it?" Bai Ye stood with his hands behind his back in the center of the hazy sea of consciousness, looking at Cai'er, whose spiritual body was still somewhat weak, a trace of heartache flashing in his eyes.
"I'm fine, I just need to rest for a bit." Cai'er shook her head and quickly walked to Bai Ye's side.
"You're getting stronger and stronger, girl." Bai Ye chuckled, then changed the subject, "During the battle just now, I took the opportunity to study your Assassin's Temple's 'Shadow Clone' skill."
Hearing this, Cai'er was slightly taken aback.
Shadow Clone is only a third-tier skill. Its main function is to use spiritual power to create afterimages to confuse opponents. It has no offensive power. Why would Bai Ye be interested in such a basic skill?
"That skill was too crude; it was a complete waste of spiritual energy." Bai Ye's lips curled into a proud smile. "I've improved it a bit and re-analyzed the path of spiritual energy circulation. I've named the improved skill—Shadow of Death."
"The Shadow of Death?" Cai'er blinked curiously.
"That's right." Bai Ye snapped his fingers. "The improved Shadow of Death is no longer just a mere illusion. Once activated, you can instantly conjure five shadow clones that appear almost tangible. Most importantly, each clone will possess fifty percent of your true combat power!"
"Fifty percent of their fighting strength?!"
Cai'er gasped, her clear, cool eyes instantly shining like two little stars.
It's important to understand that assassins are inherently a high-burst-damage class. If, during an assassination, five clones with half the strength of the original suddenly appeared and launched an attack simultaneously, that would be an absolute nightmare for any enemy!
This isn't just an improved skill; it's practically elevating a support skill to the level of a divine skill!
"I want to learn! Teach me quickly!" Cai'er excitedly grabbed Bai Ye's sleeve, her eyes full of longing.
Seeing the usually aloof and cold Saintess of Reincarnation looking like an impatient little glutton, Bai Ye couldn't resist the urge to tease her.
He slightly raised his chin, feigning an air of profound mystery: "Want to learn? This is a divine skill; how can you expect to learn without showing some sincerity? Say something nice."
Cai'er blushed slightly, but in order to become stronger, she did not hesitate to abandon the so-called saintly image.
She naturally took Bai Ye's arm, gently swaying it, and tilted her delicate little face up, pleading in a sickeningly sweet, soft voice, "Good brother~ Brother Bai Ye~ please teach Cai'er~"
"Cough cough..." Now it was Bai Ye's turn to be overwhelmed. His face turned red, and he quickly reached out to rub Cai'er's smooth long hair to cover his embarrassment. "Alright, alright, I'm scared of you. I'll teach you now."
Cai'er's comprehension was already extraordinary, and with Bai Ye unreservedly imprinting the trajectory of spiritual energy directly into her soul, she had completely grasped the secrets of "Shadow of Death" in just half an hour.
"Actually, the reason I went to great lengths to perfect this skill, besides giving you an extra trump card, is because of another bold idea." Bai Ye looked at Cai'er, who was already eager to try, and his tone suddenly became somewhat mysterious.
"What's your idea?" Cai'er asked curiously.
Bai Ye didn't speak, but simply smiled slightly.
The next second, he waved his hand and sent Cai'er's consciousness back into her physical body in the real world.
Inside the barracks, Cai'er suddenly opened her eyes.
Before she could react, Bai Ye's consciousness briefly and domineeringly took over her body.
"Buzz—"
The spiritual energy within her body circulated wildly along a strange path. Immediately afterwards, five streams of black mist separated from Cai'er's body and quickly condensed into shape within the cramped barracks.
Five "Shadows of Death" who looked exactly like Cai'er and were dressed in black outfits suddenly appeared in the room!
The moment the skill was successfully released, Bai Ye immediately severed his control over Cai'er.
Cai'er instantly regained control of her body.
She looked around in surprise at the five clones formed from her spiritual power, preparing to try to control them with her thoughts.
However, at that moment, something unexpected happened!
Four of the clones followed Cai'er's will and assumed defensive postures as if they were her own arms, but the clone standing directly in front of her completely ignored her mental commands!
Instead of defending itself, the clone naturally took a step and walked up to Cai'er.
To Cai'er's astonishment, the clone slowly raised its hand and gently pinched her fair cheeks, which were slightly puffed up with surprise.
A realistic touch, warm fingertips.
Cai'er trembled all over, as if struck by lightning.
She stared intently at the "doppelganger" in front of her who looked exactly like her. The eyes that revealed her were the gentle and doting affection that she knew so well and that belonged only to that boy!
"Bai...Bai Ye? Is that you?!" Cai'er's voice trembled violently, and her eyes instantly reddened.
"it's me."
