The black-haired woman's eyes flickered between Xilin and Zijing. There was some surprise in her eyes, but no panic. After all, everything was still under control.

"How interesting..." the black-haired woman murmured, "It seems that the plan has encountered a slight setback."

"Really? Then I guess your plans will encounter more and more setbacks in the future, right?" Zijing raised her sword and said to the other party.

"How dare you say that? Your power has completely faded, and the girl next to you...don't forget, her body is still under my control."

Indeed, if we don’t find a way to dig out the core in Xilin’s body, the crisis will not be resolved.

After all, Zijing had discovered long ago that the core of this area was the black gem, and they needed to destroy or control it in order for them to escape.

"By the way, the life of the girl next to you and the power core in her body have been connected by me. If you destroy it, it will be equivalent to killing the little sister next to you. If you don't destroy it... you need to kill me in this area of ​​my domain. No, even if you kill me, it will be useless. After all, the one in front of you now is not the real body~"

The black-haired woman smiled slyly and pleasantly, and Amethyst really couldn't imagine that she was another herself.

"Xiao Xilin, I'll give you one more chance. Are you really not going to come to me? You can survive. Moreover, your brother and I are essentially the same person. You can treat me as your sister in the future~"

The black-haired woman extended an invitation to Xilin, "But, you have to wait until I accept his power, body, and memory~"

The other party's words further confirmed the authenticity of the memories that Zijing had given to Xilin.

Xilin bit her lip, tilted her head to look at the wound on Zijing's abdomen, and then turned her head away as if she couldn't bear to look at it.

"You are different from my brother. I will kill you to avenge my brother."

"Haha, even if I die, I can be 'reborn' in your brother's body..."

"Well, we'll talk about that later!"

"Okay, okay, what a pity. I originally quite liked you as a girl..."

The black-haired woman's pupils flashed black and white light, and she clenched one hand slightly. Xilin, who was originally alert, suddenly felt the pain in her chest.

The black core in her body was causing trouble, and Amethyst, having lost its power, could no longer suppress it. This meant that Xilin's life and death was now in the hands of the other party.

"You are so immature. Reflect on yourself and don't accept powers from unknown sources in your next life~"

Just as the black-haired woman was about to completely cut off Xilin's lifeline, a fiery red sword light flew over and cut off her hand.

"Well?"

There were several more sword flashes, and the black-haired woman's head was chopped off and turned into mist and dissipated.

The destruction of the incarnation temporarily eased Xilin's crisis. Zijing walked to Xilin, who was kneeling on the ground with her hands covering her chest, holding a sword.

"Xilin, can you trust me?"

"...Yes, I believe in you, brother."

Even though the face in front of me is no longer familiar, the warm feeling has never dissipated.

"it is good."

Before the next wave of attacks came, Zijing called over Kiana, who had been watching blankly from behind, "Kiana, come here."

Ta-ta-ta——

Kiana immediately moved her legs closer, "Brother Zijing, Sister Xilin..."

"You two, close your eyes."

"Um, okay."

"it is good……"

Kiana and Sirin nodded and closed their eyes.

Amethyst connected them with her own body, carrying out the final stage that had not been completed before.

Along the way, he never let go of the two girls' hands, and the energy in his body was consumed much faster than expected.

He had never relaxed his vigilance on the core in Xilin's body, so when he discovered that the core was the center of this area, he instantly had a target.

At least we must save Xilin's life and cut off her connection with the black core.

I was busy escaping just now, and my progress has just reached the most basic bottom line—

Xilin's life no longer needs to be carried by this body, and the new carrier... is "Kiana" who has always been kept by Zijing.

She is a product of an illusion, but Amethyst had just "reincarnated" her along the way, giving her a real living body. But the cruel thing is that the consciousness belonging to "Kiana" will not be left.

Although the "Kiana" in front of her was just a virtual beautiful girl created by a tech geek, Zijing still silently said sorry in her heart.

Amethyst will not directly delete Kiana's consciousness, but I think when Xilin's consciousness invades, she will be squeezed into a corner and may disappear at any time, right?

The two bodies have been connected to the pipeline that transmits [life] and [memory]. In a few minutes, "Kiana" will become Sirin, and Sirin's original body...

It can only be discarded.

Dig out all the cores and discard them.

It doesn't matter. As for the body, Zijing can make as many as he wants. As long as Xilin wants, he can make a body exactly the same as this one.

"Well……"

"Kiana" let out an uncomfortable moan, perhaps feeling something, her body trembling slightly.

"..."

Xilin felt her head was dizzy and her consciousness was being pulled out. She wanted to open her eyes, but she remembered Zijing's instructions and endured it.

Whoosh!

There was a sound of breaking air, and Zijing immediately let the two people hug each other, completing the minimum level of contact, and he used a sword to shoot down the attacking hidden weapon.

I came back really fast...

Zijing stood beside the two girls and shouted, "No matter what happens or what you hear, don't let go!"

"……it is good!"

Sirin responded reluctantly, but "Kiana" completely lost consciousness.

All the fog around them rushed towards the three people, transforming into various weapons and shooting at them like bullets.

Zijing moved left and right around the two girls, the fiery red sword in his hand dancing like the wind. With the flash of the sword light, he shattered the attacking mist weapons one by one.

"It's really haunting you, hurry up and die!"

Zijing cursed angrily, and at this critical stage, he couldn't help but swear.

"We are enemies, how can we let you get what you want?" The black-haired woman's body condensed again, and she snapped her fingers lightly, and the ground under the feet of Zijing and the other two suddenly cracked.

As a last resort, Zijing had to hold the two people and move, but while he had no time to defend himself, a huge amount of attacks rushed towards the three of them.

"Tsk."

Zijing relied on his physical fitness to start his escape again. He was already covered in wounds and couldn't hold on for long, especially since his power was now completely unusable.

But it doesn’t matter. As long as Xilin is successfully transferred, he will find and destroy the black core in Xilin’s body, or even directly destroy this body if necessary. After this area dissipates, he will be able to fight.
