——No matter what, I wanted to live.
Bang!
Li Aozi raised his hand to block her claw attack and, taking the opportunity, lifted his hand blade to strike neatly at her arm's bend, then kicked to send Nephis flying. As she hit the ground, he dragged the blade towards her, tilting it slightly to rest on her lower abdomen.
"——Hmm?"
Nephis was taken aback.
Rip!
Li Aozi unceremoniously dragged the blade, slicing open the seam in her abdominal armor. Instead of intestines, however, what flowed out were artificial organs, a hybrid of Implant Gear and machinery.
"Hiss!"
Nephis felt no pain but instinctively clenched her teeth, her body trembling. She covered the wound and stuffed the organs back in, quickly sealing it temporarily with growing scales.
Whoosh!
Just as she raised her head, Li Aozi's blade had already reached her neck.
"Don't die. Stand up and continue to fight."
"...Hmm."
