Chapter 435: Cheers

Witnessing one woman finally slain, the kingdom’s soldiers erupted in cheers.

Youke, gripping his spear, felt his spirits lift as he lunged toward Stealth 3001 with a savage grin.

Amidst the turbulence from Hanno’s wind blade magic, he detected Stealth 3001’s invisible position through disturbances in the ground’s dust.

Meanwhile, Stealth 3001 froze momentarily at Stealth 3000’s defeat, becoming flustered under Youke’s relentless assault.

“Three Thousand! Quit dawdling! Get up now!”

While parrying attacks, Stealth 3001 shouted at the bisected female corpse.

“Have you gone mad, woman? Hahaha! Your partner’s in two pieces—how could she possibly rise? Even resurrected, she’d be no match for us!”

Youke’s spear tip suddenly blazed as his arms swelled, signaling some strength-enhancing skill.

He thrust his spear into empty space with intensified force.

Though seemingly attacking air, metallic clangs rang from his spear’s point of impact.

“Heard you! Saw you! No escape now! Hahahaha!!”

“Youke! Break off! The Magic Crystal’s power boost is fading! We must flee the capital!”

“Almost got her! Just need a little longer!”

“More time? Those Earth Dragons will finish us, fool!”

“Tch…”

Youke clicked his tongue before disengaging his spear.

“Your life’s spared today! Retreat!”

He cast a resentful glance at the emptiness before turning to withdraw with Hanno and the surviving soldiers and mages.

Then occurred a sight that stunned them—a sight that drained their faces of color.

The woman’s corpse, previously cleaved by Hanno’s wind blades, hovered midair while spilled blood levitated upward.

Blood reintegrated into the body as the severed halves drifted together, their edges seamlessly joining.

“Escape? To where? Our sisters blanket both the capital and beyond.”

The floating corpse abruptly opened its eyes.

Stealth 3000 licked crimson lips, tilting her head as crimson eyes fixed on the men, chilling their spines.

“H-how?! Are you also that person’s—no, impossible! Yet why…”

Hanno gaped, utterly incredulous.

Ignoring them, Stealth 3000 carefully realigned her head—knocked askew during the fall—before turning aside.

“To fall for such amateurs’ tricks… and die once. Keep this secret for our bond’s sake? I’d hate my sister and mother knowing…”

Stealth 3000 entreated.

“We share no bond.”

Stealth 3001 shot her a withering glare, her voice turning icy.

“Don’t waste any more time.”

As she spoke, she retrieved several potion bottles from her Magic Backpack.

These were enhancement potions that boosted attributes such as strength, agility, and magic, all crafted by the reincarnator Li Qi. For Li Qi, possessing the “Unique Skill—Potion Expert,” producing high-quality or even top-quality attribute enhancement potions was a trivial matter.

Had Lin Yu bestowed skills like “Magnification” or “Berserk” upon them, the two girls wouldn’t have needed these potions. But lacking such skills, they relied solely on the potions to defeat their opponents.

After procuring the potions, Stealth 3001 uncorked all the bottles and swiftly gulped them down.

“Whoa, such a bold way to drink! I’ll join in!”

Stealth 3000 recognized this wasn’t the time for levity, so she promptly retrieved bottles from her own backpack and consumed them.

Power surged through her upon drinking.

Yet while they ingested the potions, Hanno, Youke, and the others weren’t idle.

Though baffled by Stealth 3000’s shared immortality, they knew pondering it was futile. Leaving a squad of kingdom soldiers as rearguard, they fled toward the city gate with the remainder.

“Zero One, pursue the escapees; I’ll handle these stragglers.”

Stealth 3000 declared this while charging the obstructing kingdom soldiers. Her figure flickered like a phantom, a dagger materializing in her grasp. With a blade flash, one soldier clutched his throat and collapsed silently—her speed and strength far surpassing before.

Is she… yielding the major credit to me?

Stealth 3001 gaped at her briefly, then offered a faint smile.

I’ll keep this secret for you this time.

Thinking this, the woman gave chase without slowing.

Soldiers and mages at the group’s rear fell one by one to Stealth 3001’s lethal blades.

Hearing the relentless thuds of collapsing soldiers behind them, Hanno and Youke both paled.

“Damn it, they’ve grown stronger! What monsters are these women?”

Glancing back, they were horrified to find only seven or eight kingdom soldiers trailing them. In that instant, a cold light flashed through the air, and three mages clutched their throats, eyes wide, before falling lifeless.

“Hmph, the Magic Crystal’s power lingers—watch me!”

The black-robed mage Hanno felt a chill but forced an angry shout.

As he spoke, he raised his magic wand again. Recognizing the potency of his wind blade magic, Stealth 3001’s movements abruptly halted.

Since Stealth 3000 couldn’t withstand his wind blade attack… persisting now might yield no better outcome.

Hesitating, she saw countless shadows surge from beneath the feet of Hanno, Youke, and the five remaining soldiers, binding them amid terrified shrieks.

Hanno, clutching his magic wand, contorted in pain and ceased casting; the wand clattered to the ground.

Witnessing this, Stealth 3001 froze momentarily, then trembled as if recalling something and turned toward a direction.

There stood a stunning woman in military garb, with short gray hair and bright silver eyes, gazing expressionlessly.

“Mom… no, big sis… why is sister here?”

Stealth 3001 asked nervously yet excitedly, somewhat flustered.

Within the million-strong Ant Tribe, most were born to daughters like Red Pupil and Magic Rainbow—Darkling Stalker being no exception.

Stealth 3000 and Stealth 3001 were, in fact, daughters born to Darkling Stalker through parasitic egg-laying.
