Chapter 660 Close Encounter
Villain Ch 660. Close Encounter
The pain seared through VirtualValkyrie's body. Her instincts screamed at her to flee, but she refused to yield to the agony. It was just a scratch, a mere graze, but the damage it inflicted spoke volumes. She couldn't help but flinch, her muscles tensing as she fought to push through the pain.
But it wasn't just the physical discomfort that weighed her down. As the poison from Allen's attack coursed through her veins, she felt a heavy weight settle over her body, dragging her movements down like a leaden anchor.
It was as if a barbell had been strapped to her limbs, slowing her speed and sapping her strength—a fatal hindrance for an assassin who relied on agility and swiftness to outmaneuver her foes.
Gritting her teeth against the pain, VirtualValkyrie forced herself to focus, her mind racing as she calculated her next move. She knew that she had taken a considerable risk in facing the devil emperor head-on, but she had done so to satisfy her own curiosity and that of her audience.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Even now, as she streamed the battle to her audience, the comments flooded in, a constant barrage of distractions clamoring for her attention. But VirtualValkyrie refused to be deterred. With a determined flick of her wrist, she minimized the streaming chat, blocking out the noise so that she could concentrate fully on the battle unfolding before her.
With her injuries dragging her down, VirtualValkyrie knew that retreating from the devil emperor's reach was her only option. But she also knew that a simple step back wouldn't be enough to evade his swift and deadly strikes. If she tried to jump back, she risked falling victim to the same fate as one of her past opponents – kicked into oblivion with merciless force.
Panic threatened to consume her, VirtualValkyrie's mind raced, searching for a solution to her predicament. Then, in a flash of inspiration, she remembered her years as an active member of the gymnastics team during both high school and university. The memory sparked an idea, a daring plan that just might give her the edge she needed to escape the devil emperor's grasp.
With a swift decision, VirtualValkyrie threw caution to the wind and launched herself into a graceful somersault. In the blink of an eye, she was airborne, her body twisting and turning through the air with practiced precision. In the virtual world, maneuvers like this were second nature to her, far easier to execute than in real life.
Her breath caught in her throat as she performed not one, not two, but three flawless backflips. With each rotation, she felt the weight of her injuries momentarily forgotten, replaced by the exhilarating rush of adrenaline coursing through her veins.
But as she prepared to land, a surge of doubt crept into her mind. Had she executed the maneuver flawlessly, or had she made a fatal mistake? For a split second, time seemed to stand still as VirtualValkyrie braced herself for the impact, unsure of what awaited her on the other side.
Then, with a soft thud, she touched down on solid ground, her muscles screaming in protest as she fought to maintain her balance. She had done it – she had landed perfectly, or so she thought.
Her heart pounding in her chest, she dared to raise her head, hoping against hope that she had put enough distance between herself and the devil emperor. But her hopes were shattered as she beheld the sight before her.
To her horror, the emperor still stood before her, his imposing figure casting a shadow over her trembling form. The air crackled with energy as a dark aura enveloped his outstretched hand, his eyes blazing with a malevolent gleam. His hand, which pointed at her, signified that he was using his Telekinesis Blast skill.
With a sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach, VirtualValkyrie realized that she had underestimated the emperor's power. Despite her best efforts to evade him, she had failed, leaving her with nowhere to run and nowhere to hide.
VirtualValkyrie found herself ensnared by the devil emperor's malevolent gaze, a shiver ran down her spine, her fear escalating to new heights. The evil smirk etched on his face sent a chill coursing through her veins, her heart pounding erratically in her chest.
With a casual flick of his hand, the emperor exerted his control over her, and she felt herself being lifted off the ground as if by some unseen force. Panic surged through her as she was drawn closer to him, unable to resist the inexorable pull.
Her body stiffened as she was brought within arm's reach of the emperor, her breath caught in her throat as he reached out and gripped her with an iron grasp. His face loomed before her, his eyes burning with a malevolent intensity that sent a wave of terror crashing over her.
Despite the fear that coursed through her veins, VirtualValkyrie couldn't help but feel a strange sense of exhilaration at being in such close proximity to the emperor. This was the first time she had seen him up close and personal, and she couldn't deny the electrifying sensation that pulsed through her veins.
And yet, amidst the chaos and the danger, there was something undeniably alluring about the emperor's presence. His charm was undeniable, his aura of darkness and power drawing her in like a moth to a flame. Even the splatters of blood that adorned his face and neck seemed to perfectly complement his devilish demeanor.
She stared into the depths of his piercing gaze. But despite the overwhelming sense of danger that surrounded her, she found herself unable to tear her gaze away from the emperor, captivated by the magnetic pull of his presence.
She knew this was not the time to be in awe of her enemy. Despite the rush of adrenaline coursing through her veins, she struggled in vain against the invisible force that held her captive, her limbs rendered powerless by the emperor's sinister grip.
With a cruel grin spreading across his lips, the emperor regarded her with amusement, relishing in her futile attempts to break free. "VirtualValkyrie, right?" he hissed, the sound of her name sending a chill down her spine.
