Five minutes, an hour, half a year, or forever. Rikka woke up again, completely separated from the void space and the illusory courtyard.
"Humph! What a bunch of idiots! They are soul-fused with my brother, so how could they be deceived by those fantasies?"
"The other party must be what my brother calls a shackle. It must be an obstacle to my advancement. Rikka is so cute, how can there be imitations in the world."
"But this place seems like a dream. Could it be..."
Rikka stood up, and after looking at it for a few seconds, she almost bit off her tongue. The familiar stone house and wooden house, the calm pool, the foggy invisible barrier, and the always gray sky above her head.
Sky.
Dimensional space! Rikka unexpectedly returned to her body somehow. She had no time to think about it, she just hoped that she could turn into a ball of light and return to the real world and Boom immediately.
But she worked hard for a long time, even exerting all her strength to suck milk, but there was no change. Sitting on the grass, Rikka looked at the sky in despair.
"What can I do? I won't be trapped in my body all my life. Brother, come in quickly and save Rikka. Rikka is going to die!"
Rikka was thinking this, but suddenly there was a bag of snacks in her hand. She was chewing loudly, without any awareness that she was at a critical point in her evolution.
Perhaps out of anger at Rikka's attitude, the clouds in the sky continued to surge, and the surrounding fog became even more twisted and stretched.
A breeze blew in the supposedly quiet dimensional space, and then the clouds became thicker and the light became dim. Rikka put down the snacks in her hands and instantly transformed into her strongest form.
However, she showed a smile during the interview, because compared to those heart-stopping illusions, Rikka preferred this kind of straightforward battle.
If you win, you will evolve smoothly. If you lose, it doesn't matter. You can just reunite with Boom. Taking a step back, even if you die, it is better than staying in a void space for the rest of your life.
The dimensional space seemed to be aware of Rikka's state of mind, and weapons were continuously shot out from the clouds, pointing directly at Rikka's location.
Rikka curled her lips when she saw this, and like her previous "self", she also chose to stand still. Because of her tan skin, she had never been afraid of these swords, guns, and halberds.
The giant sword was slashed at the top of the head, and the dull hair swayed in the wind; the tower shield was slapped on the back, leaving only a shallow mark on the leather robe; the dagger and the spear were stabbed at the chest, but apart from cutting off some hair, there was no gain.
.
Ten minutes later, no more weapons were dropped from the clouds, but they were twisting more and more fiercely. Rikka scratched her head, waiting for the next round of attacks.
However, the first one to take action this time was the fog barrier around them. I could see the magic fluorescent light flashing continuously, and various spells came instantly.
Fireballs, water bombs, wind blades, and earth thorns. Rikka lazily moved her left hand to defeat them all like swatting mosquitoes. Even the missed spells were finally resolved by her skin.
Fire arrows, water snakes, wind birds, and boulders. The second round of attacks came instantly. Although it still failed to cause damage to Rikka, it also caused it to retreat continuously.
Fire rain, water spears, wind pillars, falling rocks. The third round of attacks did not stop at all, and Rikka was exhausted. At this time, the battle had lasted for more than forty minutes.
But just when he showed his fatigue, the dark clouds in the sky were not willing to be lonely. I saw a series of fighting spirit slashes shooting down, directly smashing Rikka into the soil.
Rikka endured these attacks and instantly released the short blade form of her hands. What she has to do now is not to fight with them, but to keep herself alive.
Squatting on the ground with his head in his hands, Rikka closed his eyes and tried hard to maintain the tan skin, trying to make it last longer.
The hourglass symbolizing one hour suddenly flipped over, and the noise in the dimensional space disappeared instantly. Rikka sat slumped on the grass, crying, or squatting in a huge pit.
However, the journey of evolution did not end with this. The surrounding fog was restless again, but this time it was not fighting spirit or magic, but a poisonous miasma that covered the sky and the sun.
"It's over! I have no strength now. The contracted beast that died in my belly, Rikka will be infamy for thousands of years!"
"Wait! What are those ghosts? Forget about the void space, how come people can break into this dimensional space at will?"
Rikka stared and looked at the creatures in the poisonous miasma with a wry smile. Because those were definitely not normal humans, but more like the subordinates of the Demon Infant that once appeared in Ogu City.
They are all dead souls killed by Rikka, most of them are mercenaries, and there are also many innocent people. However, at this time, they are slowly walking towards Rikka like zombies.
The long sword was broken into two pieces, the giant ax had numerous cracks, the upper half of the magic wand had long been reduced to ashes, and the lower body of the rogue was empty.
The poisonous miasma became the perfect defense for these things, and howls like beasts filled the dimensional space. Rikka's face became colder and colder. Although she didn't mind dying at the opponent's hands, she hated this trick of teasing life. Standing up slowly, Rikka did not turn her hands into short blades, but also removed the tan skin covering her body. The strong wind disappeared, and the clouds above her head became quiet.
The petal magic pattern on his forehead flickered and appeared, and finally burst out with a dazzling light. Rikka's legs gradually turned into an emerald green root, and countless flower buds appeared on the leather robe.
The poisonous miasma was about to arrive in front of him. Rikka grinned cruelly, and then looked at the mist in the distance. An inexplicable power took root in the body, and finally came out, turning the dimensional space into a sea of flowers.
The poisonous miasma dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the monsters inside collapsed. At this moment, Boom, standing in the Wonder House, nodded with relief.
The giant buds bloomed, and the sleeping six flowers were surrounded by countless stamens like elves. Wisps of wild beast breath spread, and Boom endured the pain without retreating at all.
"Flower of Peeling!" Rikka spat out four words gently, and immediately there was no movement in the dimensional space.
When the petals are scattered, life is withering. Anyone who comes into contact with the sea of flowers will be swallowed up by it, and eventually their life will be exhausted, and the most beautiful flowers will bloom.
The Flower of Peeling is exactly the ability Rikka gained after this evolution. It not only makes up for her shortcomings in a single attack method, but is also the only group attack technique she currently masters.
However, this ability is not a spell, nor is it like a fighting spirit move. Just like Rikka's tan skin, it appears mysterious and powerful.
The last petal fell to the ground, and Rikka's body turned into a ball of light, quickly shooting into the air. Boom caught Rikka at this time, and wrapped Rikka with the bearskin blanket that had been prepared. "Brother, I have completed my evolution, I..." Rikka tried her best to squeeze out a smile, and then passed out in Boom's arms. She was very tired now, which was a feeling of loss coming from deep in her soul.
"Have a good sleep. Let me serve tomorrow's breakfast. Congratulations on coming back alive." With red eyes, Boom stood up and walked to the stove.
