Sui Li groaned as she felt her physique being stretched, squeezed and pulled in several instructions.
The within of the portal was full darkness so she couldn’t see something. There was nothing extra terrifying than the unknown.
“Please… please… let this finish… let this finish… I am unable to…” Sui Li hoarsely pleaded to anybody who was listening.
There was no reply.
She couldn’t assist however shut her eyes and pray that it might be over quickly. That mysterious creature was a heartless bastard.
With none warning it opened up a black portal and tossed her proper in. Sui Li had no concept the place the hell it led or what was ready for her on the opposite facet.
The whole lot was simply taking place too shortly.
She barely had any time to course of the truth that she had been chosen as an agent for a corporation often known as the Time House Authority.
And but one way or the other, she was now being despatched off on her first mission with none cheats or gold fingers.
A helpless burst of laughter escaped Sui Li’s mouth as she contemplated the absurdity of all the state of affairs.
Kill harmful particular person able to destroying complete planes of existence?
Fuck that.
At that second Sui Li made an necessary choice…
She determined to simply quit.
It could not be an enormous deal to fulfil the want of the unique proprietor of whichever physique she needed to enter in an effort to full the mission.
However as for the principle goal to seek out these villainesses… effectively she had already died as soon as so it wasn’t an enormous deal to die once more.
Within the worst case, she would merely return to that infinite white void and spend the remainder of eternity floating lazily.
As she reached this realization, Sui Li all of the sudden felt quite a bit higher.
It was an surprising blessing to have the ability to stay once more so she may as effectively take pleasure in her second life freely earlier than she was inevitably fired.
Sui Li felt a mysterious pressure tugging at her physique after which she was abruptly hurtled in the direction of an unknown location.
She opened her eyes to seek out herself in a tiny room no greater than a daily bed room with plain white partitions.
A single mild bulb was hung within the heart of the room which offered dim lighting and sometimes flickered.
Sui Li was at present sitting down on a easy wood chair that creaked ominously with any small motion that she made.
In entrance of her was one other wood chair however there was somebody or slightly one thing hovering instantly above it.
What the heck was that?
Sui Li cautiously leaned away from the unusual creature that resembled a floating white cloud of gasoline.
“Are you the one who can grant my want?” a female voice requested in a confused tone.
Sui Li glanced across the room in shock as she tried to seek out out which course the sudden voice got here from.
“Are you the one who can grant my want?” the voice requested a second time.
There was nobody else contained in the room aside from herself and the floating gasoline cloud.
Wait… was the cloud speaking to her?
“Sure… I’m the agent…” Sui Li hesitantly replied.
She genuinely had no concept about what was going to occur subsequent.
The mysterious creature mentioned that she wanted to barter a deal however how was she supposed to do this?
The floating cloud trembled violently and to Sui Li’s shock it started to compress. Step by step the gaseous mass shaped the form of a girl.
The sunshine bulb all of the sudden went out and the room plunged into complete darkness.
A couple of moments later the lighting got here again, and Sui Li noticed a sexy lady sitting throughout from her on the wood chair.
Fierce was the primary phrase that got here to Sui Li’s thoughts as she noticed the girl stare at her with a chilly expression.
She was a western magnificence with brief cropped blonde hair, piercing blue eyes and sharp angular facial options reminiscent of excessive cheekbones and a hooked nostril.
The unusual lady was over six ft in peak with a lean muscular physique. The muscle tissue on her legs and arms have been agency and toned.
Each inch of her uncovered pores and skin was coated in scars and bruises that displayed her battle expertise.
She wore a set of white armor that coated a part of her physique however oddly sufficient not her limbs.
Holy symbols and markings that Sui Li couldn’t recognise had been etched onto the floor of the armor.
An image of the solar had been painted in the course of her chest guard.
There was an aura of killing intent surrounding her physique that made Sui Li really feel a little bit bit uncomfortable and in truth… a bit scared as effectively.
As Sui Li stared on the unusual lady, she was additionally being noticed and a frown quickly appeared on the girl’s face.
“My identify is Claire Blanlyn,” the girl launched herself and gave a well mannered bow along with her fingers held throughout her chest.
“Sure… um… my identify is Sui Li, and I’m the agent assigned to you…” Sui Li shortly replied.
“Pardon me for my rudeness however you don’t appear to be very skilled,” Claire famous with a chilly expression on her face.
It was a bit harsh, however Sui Li may utterly perceive the place she was coming from.
Frankly this fierce knight seemed as if she was higher suited to the job of killing a villainess.
Sui Li assumed that it might be a easy matter for somebody of her talent to shortly strike down and kill in chilly blood.
Sui Li thought fastidiously about what to say subsequent and ultimately determined that honesty was in all probability the best way to go.
“I am sorry however that is truly my first mission, and I is probably not as skilled as the opposite brokers on this division,” Sui Li confessed in truth.
“However I can assure that it doesn’t matter what occurs in regard to my foremost goal, I’ll do my greatest to finish your want first.”
There was a quick second of silence within the room as the feminine knight stared at her for a number of lengthy minutes.
Sui Li waited patiently however was secretly a bit aggravated that Claire wasn’t saying something.
Did she approve or not? Really, what would occur if the negotiation failed?
Would she be despatched on one other mission? Or would that nasty creature merely kick her out of the division and not using a second probability.
These questions lingered in Sui Li’s thoughts because the minutes handed by.
Lastly, the feminine knight set free a heavy sigh and leaned again in opposition to the wood chair.
“Properly… it would not matter since my request is straightforward,” Claire spoke calmly whereas crossing her arms throughout her chest.
“Do not break my vows and develop into a paladin worthy of serving Varion the Lord of Gentle.”
A bitter expression flashed throughout Claire’s face and Sui Li briefly glimpsed an infinite abyss of self-hatred and remorse.
Claire’s voice all of the sudden misplaced its assured tone as she whispered softly,
“I’m not worthy of being a paladin. In my hubris I turned my again on my lord and I paid the value for my betrayal.”
“Promise me… promise me it doesn’t matter what occurs… you’ll fulfil my vow.”
Sui Li may clearly see the desperation on her face as this highly effective feminine knight bowed her head and begged for assist.
“I promise you,” Sui Li solemnly spoke as she stretched her proper hand outwards.
Deep blue runes appeared out of skinny air and surrounded her hand. Sui Li was shocked to find that after once more she was now frozen in place.
Claire grabbed her outstretched palm with out hesitation and a wierd energy flowed between them.
Sui Li may see her physique progressively flip translucent and one other black portal opened up from beneath her ft.
The final picture that she noticed earlier than she vanished from the room was the grateful smile on Claire’s face.
