"Energy...attack?"

Upon hearing this, Yun You couldn't help but be a little stunned, but her body's instinctive reaction to danger still made her timely follow Master Zero's advice, planning to dodge and find cover.

However, the problem was that no matter which direction she dodged, the blue-glowing mouth on the chest of Tusai was locked onto her, giving her no space to escape or evade.

As for cover...

Although there were indeed a few boulders sparsely distributed in this duel arena, seemingly fallen from the rock wall, they were all too scattered and too far from Yun You...the closest one was at least more than three hundred meters away.

Yun You didn't know how long it took Tusai to fully charge, but if it could be done in 3 seconds, she would inevitably be hit while running in a straight line.

So, in a flash, the young girl took a step, intending to run in an "S" shape in front of Tusai, thus interfering with Tusai's aim to the greatest extent.

However, what no one could have expected was...

As soon as Yun You took her first step...Tusai moved.

A giant tentacle, which had already been compressed early, shot out swiftly from the lower abdomen, with the speed of lightning, striking toward Yun You's small body.

It turned out that while charging its oral energy, it had also compressed a portion of its muscles early on...

Due to the cover of firelight and smoke, and the attention of the crowd being attracted to the "energy charge", no one noticed it quietly compressing muscles!

The speed of the giant tentacle was as fast as ever, and by the time Yun You reacted, it had already stretched out before her.

Because Yun You had previously blocked one of the tentacles at close range, Tusai did not use the tentacle directly to whip the girl this time, but rather blocked her retreat.

"Not good!"

Yun You seemed to realize something and hurriedly halted her steps, planning to retreat...

But just at that moment, the oral apparatus of Tusai suddenly tightened, and the blue energy that was originally overflowing also returned and was compressed bit by bit, then...

Tusai abruptly spat——

"Buzz!"

In an instant, a deafening buzzing sound accompanied by a blue light piercing through the air emerged from Tusai's oral apparatus.

No, that was not harmless light, not a beam from a flashlight or lighting equipment.

It was searing laser...composed of high-energy particles, powerful enough to easily penetrate steel and rock!

From a physics standpoint, light speed is the fastest speed in the world.

Although giant enterprises have superluminal engines, that's just a deceit, using some special methods to achieve superluminal speed.

On the pure physical level, light is still the fastest.

Thus, as soon as it was spat out by Tusai, its other end had already torn through the entire path, crashing straight into the rock...instantly burning a massive hole several meters deep.

No material could resist this laser.

At least none in this path.

And, unfortunately...

Yun You was standing on the path.

The young girl couldn't react.

In fact, by the time she realized the danger, the laser had already landed.

It couldn't be helped, that was light speed, light speed...who could possibly dodge it?

All Yun You could feel was a coldness on her waist, and then, half of her entire left torso lost sensation.

Staring blankly, she looked down and saw that a semicircular cut had inexplicably appeared on her slim waist. The surrounding wounds were very smooth and slightly charred, evidently scorched in an instant.

This, however, prevented the result of massive blood loss.

The entire cut wasn't large, only about the size of a fist, but Yun You could very clearly feel that her internal organs, especially the left kidney and liver, were probably cut by about a third.

No pain.

Because the nerves were completely scorched.

But Yun You felt somewhat...weak in the body.

It was that kind of weakness where you felt fine one second, but like you were under anesthesia the next, unable to muster any strength.

Blood flowed from the young girl's mouth, slid past her lips, and finally dripped to the ground, making a "plop plop" sound.

But Yun You ignored her injury.

Now, she had only one thought in her mind.

That was...

"Ah."

"So this is an 'energy attack'."

Energy attack, unlike traditional close-range combat or gunfire and bullets.

Once, a physicist said that to date, the vast majority of human attack methods were nothing more than throwing stones.

Throwing stones with force, exerting the kinetic energy you imbued onto the stone on the enemy.

Using a knife to slash is like this, using gunpowder to drive bullets and shells is also like this.

It's the most straightforward and effective way of attack.

However, in the process of an object's work, the medium will eventually lose a portion of energy.

Energy attack, therefore, directly abandons the medium, causing damage with pure energy.

Yun You had heard before that there were only two common types of energy weapons in Nest City, laser cannons and laser rapid-fire weapon stations.

Both have great lethality, but the problem is, to amass laser often requires large and expensive equipment, so ordinary mercenary teams cannot possibly carry energy weapons.

For this reason, many mercenaries...including the Apprentice Death God, are actually not very familiar with the power and effects of energy weapons.

But once they first encounter this ability, they immediately understand...

Why only large-scale laser arrays are installed on the main cannons of giant enterprise's space battleships and aircraft carriers, abandoning other flashy weapons.

"Very impressive."

Yun You thought instinctively, reaching out to touch her wound.

Although the "eating ability" can repair internal organs and scars, such serious injuries still chilled her heart.

"Energy weapons are really impressive..."

"Learned a lot."

"Once I recover and encounter this weapon ability again, I'll surely have a chance to deal with it..."

A bitter smile appeared on the young girl's face.

Finding joy in suffering, pretending calm and composure is her habit.

However, Tusai did not give her the chance to continue remaining calm.

Seeing that one strike had not completely ended the young girl, Tusai unhesitatingly began charging a second time.

The pale blue glow reappeared, the dangerous high temperature distorting space.

Tusai excitedly waved its tentacles, mocking Yun You's incompetence, as if saying with its arrogant body language...

"Nice dodge."

"But how will you dodge the second laser?"

Yun You's expression shifted slightly, instinctively activating the Mad Dog Sequence's trait, wanting to step forward using the power of "limb enhancement", but as soon as she moved her legs, that wave of weakness and pain surged like a tide.

She was simply too severely injured.

The young girl realized that the reason she hadn't felt pain before was not because the nerves were scorched, but because that brief intense pain exceeded what humans could endure, triggering the body's defense mechanism.

She staggered down onto her knees, her body slightly trembling.

"It's no use, I can't dodge..."

"Master Zero, I'll have to rely on you to block it!"

Yun You steeled herself and simply summoned the Red Scale Scimitar, using the broad blade to shield her body.

She didn't know if Master Zero could block the laser, but in her current state, she really had no better option.
