Chapter 337: Moon Dance
Maryse’s face flushed with embarrassment as her mind began to spiral in confusion.
In the blink of an eye, everything around her started to change.
Unaware, Maryse found herself transported to Annottales, enveloped in a thick white mist.
As the fog gradually lifted, she realized she was surrounded by a crowd of people!
“Wait… really? You want me to wear this and fight in front of everyone? It may look tough, but inside, it feels hollow…”
Maryse lowered her head, curling up tightly, reluctant to move.
She felt miserable.
“Roar!”
Another monster emerged from the nightmares, the same species as the Chilnoth that Nightsaber had fought just the day before.
This black Chilnoth looked vastly different from the previous one—its form was like a giant mass of black slime, much larger in size, with seven or eight red eyes scattered all over its body. It radiated an eerie, malevolent aura.
Nightmarish creatures always appeared strange and unsettling.
Sitting on the ground, Maryse felt paralyzed, unwilling to move. But soon, she realized she couldn’t stay still!
Once again, something inside her began to take control of her body, forcing her to act.
“Hmm, what’s happening… I feel awful…”
Despite being dressed, she felt as though she were completely exposed.
What Maryse found most intolerable, however, was that her body had started to move as if dancing!
All eyes were immediately drawn to her.
Naturally, with the title of “Moon Dancer,” it was expected that she would perform a dance imbued with extraordinary power.
As for the Psychic Dancer, their role is to compel others to dance through mental manipulation, rather than dance themselves.
The onlookers gasped, some running away in terror, while others stood frozen in awe.
“Look at that girl! Why isn’t she running?”
“She’s dancing!”
“That looks like the half-elf from Babel Tower! I saw her in the papers!”
How shameful!
Maryse’s anger flared, so intense that even her imagined limbs seemed to ache.
“Don’t be angry, don’t be angry… The clothes are tightly wrapped, but it’s all just a trick of the mind… this is terrible!”
“Savior, I’ll kill you a thousand times, and it still won’t be enough!”
In reality, Maryse’s distress was merely a mental illusion.
If it had been someone like Scarlet Moon or Mu Ling, they likely wouldn’t have cared about such trivial discomforts. They had shattered enemies’ hearts countless times, emerging from pools of blood and gore. How could they have been bothered by something so minor? After all, they hadn’t been truly exposed.
The half-elf girl’s dance, however, resembled some ancient, ritualistic performance, exuding a strange, enchanting beauty.
Her every move, filled with rhythm, transformed her into the embodiment of moonlight itself—bewitchingly beautiful.
The crowd stared, unable to tear their eyes away.
It was as though they were under a spell.
As Maryse danced, the onlookers were stunned to notice that the sun had silently disappeared, replaced by a silver crescent moon!
Even the monsters hesitated, captivated by the dance. All eyes were fixed on the half-elf, unable to look away.
Everything and everyone in the room was entranced, except for Maryse, who felt deeply embarrassed.
She vaguely recalled seeing this dance before, in a dream.
In that dream, she had encountered another version of herself from a different world.
That other self had been draped in a cloak of moonlight, gracefully dancing beneath a glowing moon. But then, everything around her began to crumble. The silver moon turned blood red, and the moonlight cloak stained crimson.
But it was just a dream.
Maryse fell into deep contemplation.
She could feel a strange power stirring within her soul, slowly beginning to surface.
Suddenly, the dark, slime-like creature began to crumble and dissolve.
Unperturbed by its imminent demise, it silently disintegrated.
The onlookers remained confused and disoriented.
At last, Maryse completed her dance, and a swirling black mist enveloped her.
Moments later, she was transported back to her home.
“This is too much…”
Maryse sighed deeply, lying down in the bathtub, feeling dizzy and overwhelmed.
“Oh, this is so frustrating… But what can I do? I can’t resist…”
Unnoticed, her clothes returned to their original state, while she lay there, consumed by existential confusion.
Inside Babel Tower, Bai Yan calmly observed everything through his phone.
It was live broadcasting.
Although no one else noticed, Bai Yan caught the subtle changes in Maryse’s expression.
Displeasure, shyness, helplessness, curiosity, excitement…
A range of captivating emotions flashed across her face, as if an invisible fan were opening before their eyes.
While Maryse resisted this new form, deep down, she couldn’t help but feel a surge of curiosity about the new powers she might unlock. She was excited about growing stronger.
“Too bad this won’t make the news in Tatsumi City. If it did, Amy and Mu Ling would’ve definitely seen it…”
Bai Yan found it odd.
Maryse was much shyer than he expected!
She danced publicly and became so embarrassed—it was an unexpected side of her personality.
Bai Yan had never imagined that such a shy heart could reside within this little warrior.
“Moon Dancer: She wears a flowing silver dress, seemingly made from solidified moonlight. The ‘Psychic Dancer’ is secretly raised by an evil force as a weapon. Her soul contains a fragment of the power of the Outer God, ‘Eternal Moon,’ an incredibly dangerous negative energy capable of both nourishing and destroying.”
“Once activated, the ‘Moon Dance’ ability replaces the ‘Psychic Dancer’ abilities, granting her the power to wield negative energy.”
Bai Yan glanced at the changes in the character card and couldn’t help but laugh.
Incredibly, under these circumstances, Maryse had become one centimeter shorter!

Bai Yan finished reading Maryse’s updated character card. Seeing the last sentence, he immediately recalled Mu Ling’s civilization-level relic, “Nyx’s Cover.”
He thought Mu Ling wouldn’t mind sharing it with Maryse.
And actually, “Nyx’s Cover” wasn’t even Mu Ling’s—it belonged to Babel Tower, with Mu Ling only holding temporary rights.
Bai Yan chuckled at himself. Cough cough… He was increasingly feeling like a capitalist…
The last skin was Mu Ling’s “Shadow Tactics.”
Now, Bai Yan felt that he had truly “great luck” and might soon become a “lucky star.”
Because “Shadow Tactics” was unquestionably the best choice for engaging in multiple battles—an essential skill for him!
