Xia Ye didn't react at all.
Because she never thought that there were other visitors in this room.
But her body's reaction was faster than hers, and she raised her hand reflexively, trying to catch the black shadow.
When my palm touched it, there was even a smooth and cold feeling in my palm. But the moment the five fingers came together, the black shadow no longer maintained its shape, and actually leaked through the gaps between the four fingers like a liquid.
Freed from the control of his palm, the black liquid gathered again in mid-air and continued to rush towards Xia Ye - head-on.
But Xia Ye has no face... so it bites on the triangular hood.
The hood fell off, revealing a slender white neck and a bright red fracture. The dark figure who discovered that he had eaten something wrong spat out his hood, and his body flying in mid-air elongated instantly, with one end stuck to the ceiling. He used this force to adjust the posture of the other end, and then—— Zhun Xiaye bit her neck again.
Puff——
With a strange muffled sound, the entire broken neck was bitten into the black shadow's mouth, making it look as if the head had been bitten off. As the black shadow's body shrank, the girl's slender body was lifted up entirely, her feet lifted off the ground, and she was suspended in the air, swinging from side to side.
But strangely, Xia Ye didn't feel pain. She only felt that her neck was tightly wrapped around her neck, but her delicate skin did not suffer any damage.
A strong suction force suddenly came. The enemy used her neck as a straw and sucked hard.
The next second, a strange feeling came from the cup between the chest and abdomen. Xia Ye understood something instantly. She raised her hand and looked at her right wrist. Although the part above the neck was bitten by the enemy, She has no head, so it doesn't affect her ability to see.
On the wrist, the original number should be -2401 - -1 magic power at the time of rebirth, minus the 2400 magic power overdrawn when signing the "rift" contract.
But now, the number engraved on the fair skin is: -2403
In just a few seconds, the enemy sucked 2 moles of magic from her cup.
No—its own magic power is negative. How did it absorb the magic power from the empty cup?
Just when Xia Ye realized this, the number on her wrist changed to -2404, but then changed back to -2403, and finally jumped repeatedly between "3" and "4".
She suddenly thought of something, and regardless of the fact that she was still hanging in the air, she hurriedly pressed her fingers on the runes on her thighs and recited the witch script at the same time:
"Ch-ZVH-"
The clause of the "return to soul" contract appeared in front of her again. She just thought of a possibility and needed to check the clause to verify it.
Although the enemy bites you on the neck before you remember to check the terms of the contract, it's a bit embarrassing. It's like you suddenly start to recall the killing in the middle of the battle with the BOSS, and the BOSS is also very considerate and waits for you to slowly recall it before exploding. Kind of the same.
But at the moment, Xia Ye couldn't care less. She skipped all the formal terms and looked directly at the contents of the [Supplementary Terms]. She still remembered that the original "Supplementary Terms-3" and subsequent contents were all covered by black squares. Covered and unreadable.
And now, although Supplementary Clause -3 is still obscured by the black square, -4 has revealed its contents:
Supplementary Clause-4: Overdraft of magic power must be based entirely on the voluntary nature of the contract maker. [Any] non-voluntary means cannot cause the contract maker to overdraw his or her own magic power, including but not limited to: natural dissipation, coercive overdraft, forced overdraft...
--【Any】represents all methods reasonably recognized by the contract maker.
really……
Just as Xia Ye finished reading this clause, -2403 and -2404, which kept beating on his wrist, finally stopped at -2403 and stopped changing.
Overdraft can only be done with my complete consent, which means that the enemy cannot take the magic power from my body that does not exist in the first place. Xia Ye thought quickly.
The reason why I was forced to overdraw the magic power of 2 moles at the beginning was because the establishment of this clause was based on the cognition of the person who established the contract.
At that time, I felt a sucking sensation on my cup, and I subconsciously thought that my magic power would be sucked away, which was equivalent to actively overdrawing 2 moles of magic power for the other party to absorb.
And once I realized that the overdraft was unenforceable, the other party couldn't get any magic out of me.
Unless I am willing to give it to you - what I am not willing to give, you will never get it.
While she was thinking this, she stretched out her palm and grasped the black shadow biting her neck.
The other party let out a sharp scream of "chi--" and then repeated his old trick, transforming himself into a liquid-like form and slipping out through his fingers.
But as Xia Ye concentrated her thoughts, the other party's changes came to an abrupt halt, and he was still firmly held in her hands.
Just now, she vaguely felt that a subtle connection had been established between the other party and her cup, and this connection came from the magic power of 2 moles eaten by the other party.
For some reason, after these magic powers entered the opponent's body, Xia Ye could still feel their existence and could use this to affect the black shadow's body.
Using her fair and slender fingers once again, Xia Ye finally pulled the other person off the ceiling, and her feet finally returned to the ground.
After stabilizing her body's balance for a moment, she pulled hard again. This time, she finally pulled the other person off her neck.
Under the interference of the 2 devil magic power that originally belonged to Xia Ye in the body, the enemy's body is far less flexible than before, and its strength is no longer so strong. In addition, no matter how hard it bites, it cannot penetrate Xia Ye's seemingly Delicate skin, in this way——
The opponent was completely at the mercy of Xia Ye (physically).
"This is……?!"
Although he had already battled wits with the opponent for several rounds, it was not until he held it in his hands that Xia Ye finally saw the appearance of the black figure clearly.
This is a... tentacle?
It was about a foot long, about the thickness of a wrist, and its surface was densely covered with strange emerald green lines. The first time she saw it, Xia Ye felt that it looked very familiar. After thinking about it for a moment, she immediately remembered it.
——Isn't this the monster from another world that I summoned using the "rift" magic?
It had obviously been forcibly repatriated when the rift was closed, so why was there still a small section here?
Just when Xia Ye was thinking about how it stayed here, the tentacle in his hand started to struggle violently again.
It first tried to escape by turning into a semi-fluid, but was soon disturbed by the magic power in the body again and involuntarily changed back into the shape of a tentacle.
After the failure, the emerald green lines on the surface of the tentacles lit up again, and they swam like living creatures, trying to climb onto Xia Ye's body.
Xia Ye had seen this move before. When dealing with the witch named "Luca", the tentacles climbed onto Luca's magic sword in this way, forcing her to abandon the sword and retreat.
But now, Xia Ye's skin seemed to have an invisible force field attached to its surface. No matter how hard those lines swam, they could not climb onto her body.
After two consecutive moves failed, the tentacle had to resort to the last resort - like a fish out of water, swinging its body vigorously and struggling desperately.
Xia Ye's response to this was very straightforward. She used her greatest strength to tighten her fingers and clenched them inwards!
"grumble--!!!!!"
A scream came from her hands.
