Volume 4, Chapter 35 – Chase in the Sky

Feeling the cold wind blow over her body, Yisi fled from Margaret, ascending to an altitude of several hundred meters above the city.

As for why it was “fled” instead of “left,” there was only one reason—the feeling of being caught between Camilla and Refina was unbearable.

Thanks to the Margaret that Fran had brought out, the two had unknowingly gotten into a drinking contest. But since both were lightweights, they soon passed out drunk at the table. Helpless, Yisi could only drag them to a room on the second floor.

However, the two drunken women quickly shifted their target. The battle at the dinner table turned into a war for her affection. Camilla was one thing, but Refina directly treated her as Edith, begging for her favor in all sorts of heart-pounding ways, to the point that it made Yisi think, “This master and servant are too perverted.”

To be honest, her ears still felt a bit sticky.

But Yisi would not make the same mistake twice. In the past, she had accepted Refina to avoid exposing her identity, but now there was no longer a need. To prevent history from repeating itself, Yisi used brute force to throw them both onto the bed, then slipped out the window and flew high into the sky.

“Leaving those two to sleep in the same bed… even if they’re drunk, there shouldn’t be any problems, right…”

It wasn’t a man and a woman, after all.

Deeply feeling how dirty her own mind was, Yisi shook her head, banishing the inappropriate thoughts.

“Well, I’ll go check on them later. First, I need to take care of what I’ve planned.”

Among all the information Samael had provided, there was one piece that Yisi was very concerned about.

Hetty had once had a fallen angel named “Sandra” secretly bring some Frost Giants into the Pescia territory, letting them attack the cities and villages within to draw Count Pescia’s attention and force him to divide his forces to deal with internal affairs. But later, this group of Frost Giants had mysteriously disappeared, as if they had vanished into thin air, which had made Hetty extremely cautious, thinking her plan had been discovered by a third party.

If she weren’t the person involved, Yisi would have also become cautious and searched the surrounding area with her map to eliminate anyone who might threaten the lives of her companions. But the fact was, Yisi was the one who had made those Frost Giants disappear.

“Well… they brought it on themselves…”

When she was collecting Akarin and the others who had been used as food at the back of the city lord’s mansion, Yisi had encountered a group of Frost Giants in the forest. At that time, she had thought that there were wild Frost Giants in the Pescia territory, and since they had come up roaring and preparing to attack her, Yisi hadn’t thought much of it and had just thrown them into a deep sinkhole to fend for themselves.

That was the reason for the Frost Giants’ disappearance.

Although she had ruined someone else’s plan, Yisi felt a great sense of satisfaction. As for whether she was happy because she had helped Edith or because she had saved many people from disaster, Yisi didn’t delve too deeply.

“Since they were deliberately brought into the territory, it’s better to confirm things. It would be bad if they were released again by that fallen angel named Sandra.”

[Advanced Teleportation]

With a shake of her vision, Yisi quickly arrived in the sky above the valley on the outskirts of Termi City. Since she hadn’t marked the location of the sinkhole, she could only open her map and search for the Frost Giants’ presence.

“Hmm?”

She quickly discovered an anomaly.

Near the Frost Giants, there was a fallen angel named Sandra.

“I didn’t expect to catch her in the act.”

Although Yisi had no favorable impression of the fallen angels, or rather, the demon race, and saw them as terrorists, if she had to choose between Ouranos’s camp and Tartaros’s camp, she would reluctantly choose the former. Firstly, Samael’s loyalty to his master had left a good impression on her. Secondly, her own connection to Ouranos was deeper. If the count’s eldest daughter hadn’t collected Ouranos’s body, she might not have come to this other world at all.

Of course, this was just her speculation.

“First, I’ll capture her.”

Then she would interrogate her thoroughly, preferably in a way that would make this group of fallen angels give up the idea of harming innocent lives.

Yisi began to lock onto Sandra’s position. The latter was currently over forty kilometers away from her.

However, as if sensing that she was being targeted, just as Yisi had pinpointed the spatial coordinates near Sandra, Sandra disappeared from the map.

[Absolute Defense]

A skill that granted absolute invincibility for 0.3 seconds.

But the expected attack never came. When Yisi checked the map again, Sandra had flashed to a position fifty kilometers away, while the Frost Giants had been left where they were.

“A coincidence?”

Making a zooming-out gesture on the map, Yisi changed the maximum display range to a hundred-kilometer diameter and locked onto Sandra again.

And Sandra disappeared again.

It seemed it wasn’t a coincidence. The other party had detected her lock-on.

“Interesting.”

Her competitive spirit stirred by Sandra, Yisi gave up on precise positioning and instead chose a teleport point right next to her, directly using the faster [Short-Distance Teleport].

Her vision changed abruptly. Yisi looked around and soon found a small figure flying in the sky. Although they were more than fifty meters apart, with the excellent night vision of a vampire, Yisi could still see Sandra’s appearance clearly.

A young girl with short orange hair and orange eyes, who looked to be only eleven years old. Although her figure was underdeveloped, she wore overly revealing clothes and had a slightly flustered expression. Unlike other fallen angels, Sandra had no wings on her back.

“At this distance, I don’t need to teleport anymore.”

[Blink]

Reappearing behind Sandra, Yisi reached out to grab her shoulder.

Her hand passed right through Sandra’s body.

An illusion.

“Tricked again.”

Yisi stopped flying, letting the illusion of Sandra escape.

On the Omniscient Map, a total of twelve Sandras were fleeing in different directions.

“Hey, hey… a clone skill? You don’t expect me to check them one by one, do you?”

Yisi moved the light dot to one of the twelve Sandras. It was worth noting that an illusionary body would be directly displayed as “Illusion” on the Omniscient Map.

That makes it easy.

[Third Form Awakening]

No longer using teleportation magic—it was too slow to cast and caused a sense of daze—Yisi simply cast several layers of acceleration magic on herself and activated [Wings of Hermes].

“I won’t let you escape again.”

In the blink of an eye, Yisi flew to the real Sandra’s side at a speed that was infinitely close to teleportation.

The terrifying sonic boom from behind her made the flying Sandra subconsciously look back. Upon seeing the rapidly enlarging Yisi, Sandra’s mouth fell slightly agape as if she had seen a ghost, stunned for a moment.

Taking this opportunity, Yisi reached out to Sandra.

[Space Lock]

Like a photograph, Sandra was frozen in mid-air.

—And then she vanished into thin air in front of Yisi.

“So she really does control the power of space.”

But Yisi had already grasped Sandra’s teleportation pattern. She could only teleport a maximum of ten kilometers at a time, and unlike herself, she couldn’t teleport continuously without interruption. There was something like a cooldown period in between, which was about five seconds.

Using the same method, Yisi appeared next to Sandra again. Sandra had just used teleportation and would have to wait at least three seconds before she could do it again.

She reached out and grabbed Sandra’s shoulder.

She was as small and thin as she looked.

“You can’t escape.”

“Like hell I can’t!”

With a childish voice, Sandra turned her head and bit down hard on Yisi’s hand.

Crack.

A mournful sound came from her teeth, along with a small piece of a tooth that broke off and flew away.

“Oww!”

Visibly, Sandra’s large eyes began to well up with tears.

“You brute!”

Then, an ominous hissing sound filled the air. A pitch-black hole suddenly appeared in front of Sandra. Then, countless black tentacles that looked like arms stretched out from the hole, pulling Sandra inside. As Sandra disappeared, the black hole gradually shrank.

Should I follow her in?

“I might be teleported to a very distant place…”

Compared to Sandra, her companions were more important.

Glancing at the spot where Sandra had disappeared, Yisi let out a light snort.

“I won’t give you another chance next time.”
