My Best Bro Got Bullied by Another Bad Woman Again - Chapter 20
After using a small trick to disperse the lingering darkness, Sun Du looked at Ayramirong.
“So,” she asked calmly, “what about you? Who exactly are you? You’re quite extraordinary. I can’t see through you at all.”
The mere presence of his light had been enough to dispel her darkness, proving he was no ordinary person. But how? Was it some unknown technology? Some special ability? After all, he couldn’t possibly be a magical girl.
Sun Du smiled faintly.
“Just as you won’t reveal your methods, I won’t reveal mine. But I can tell you one thing.”
“I was the one who captured your student, Luluye.”
Ayramirong raised an eyebrow.
“Oh? Impressive. You managed to catch that troublesome girl before she even had a chance to react.”
Sun Du shrugged.
“Not really. I simply tore open her spatial rift and dragged her back.”
“Oh?”
Ayramirong clearly didn’t believe him.
Sun Du wasn’t interested in convincing her.
“Believe it or not. Either way, I’m arresting you now. Surrender peacefully, and you won’t have to suffer.”
“Heh…”
She chuckled dismissively.
“Many people have tried to capture me.”
“Do you really think a few words are enough?”
“Prove that you have the ability first.”
With a casual wave of her hand, several streams of black mist shot toward Sun Du.
He simply flicked his fingers.
Pop.
Pop.
Pop.
The mist burst apart like soap bubbles.
Walking straight through the fading darkness, Sun Du continued forward.
“You think this can stop me?”
Ayramirong stepped back with a smile.
“That was merely a test.”
“It seems you’re even stronger than I expected.”
“I still don’t know who you are, or why you can use abilities similar to magic.”
“But…”
“I suppose I should start taking this seriously.”
Sun Du sighed.
“It’s not magic.”
“It’s just a little trick.”
Unfortunately, she still didn’t believe him.
A thicker cloud of darkness erupted behind Ayramirong, engulfing her before crashing toward Sun Du like a tidal wave.
Yet the result remained the same.
The black mist split apart before reaching him, as though striking an invisible mountain.
As Sun Du walked into the darkness, sharp crackling sounds echoed around him.
“…Spatial rifts?”
He immediately became cautious.
Instead of charging recklessly, he threw a testing punch.
Crack!
The surrounding mist exploded.
The hidden spatial tears shattered instantly.
Behind the collapsing darkness stood Ayramirong, her expression noticeably more serious.
“So you really can destroy space itself…”
“I know a little.”
Sun Du looked at her calmly.
“Now…”
“Wouldn’t it be easier to surrender?”
She smiled coldly.
“Not yet.”
“You still can’t catch me.”
“I am darkness.”
“And darkness is me.”
“No one can imprison darkness.”
After delivering her dramatic declaration, she spread her arms once again.
This time, an even greater torrent of black mist surged into the sky.
A gigantic face materialized above the battlefield.
“You are indeed powerful.”
“If we fought head-on, I probably wouldn’t win.”
“So…”
“Our little game ends here.”
“I’m taking my child home.”
“Don’t even think about it.”
Sun Du leaped into the air and threw a punch straight toward the heavens.
The tremendous force shattered the sea of darkness.
Moonlight returned instantly.
Stars reappeared overhead.
Yet Ayramirong herself was nowhere to be seen.
Only an illusion made from black mist remained.
Tiny ripples of distorted space surrounded it.
“It seems…”
“My strength alone can’t catch you.”
“If one punch isn’t enough…”
“I’ll throw another.”
Just as he prepared to attack again, Ayramirong smiled.
“Are you sure?”
“What?”
Sun Du suddenly sensed something.
Looking down, he discovered the soldiers below had all been trapped inside invisible spatial prisons.
They couldn’t escape.
It was as though each of them had been sealed inside transparent glass bottles.
Ayramirong’s smile widened.
“You didn’t honestly think I was doing nothing all this time, did you?”
“So…”
“You’ve taken hostages.”
Sun Du nodded thoughtfully.
“I’m beginning to understand why everyone dislikes you.”
“Sneak attacks.”
“Hostages.”
“You really should correct those habits.”
“You seem surprisingly calm.”
“As long as I rescue them, I can still capture you.”
“Really?”
She smiled confidently.
“You won’t have enough time.”
“While distracting you…”
“I finished analyzing the prison’s sealing formation.”
“The barrier your people built…”
“…is embarrassingly crude.”
“It won’t stop me.”
She snapped her fingers.
Several streams of darkness shot toward the prison where Luluye was being held.
At the same time, cracks spread across the spatial prisons surrounding the soldiers.
“Now…”
“What will you choose?”
“The soldiers?”
“Or my student?”
“If you rescue the soldiers…”
“I’ll free Luluye within five seconds.”
Sun Du looked toward both locations.
“I really dislike your methods.”
“But they work, don’t they?”
Ayramirong no longer bothered hiding her smug expression.
“I’m simply teaching you a lesson.”
“No one can always make the perfect choice.”
“It’s just like the trolley problem.”
Sun Du nodded.
“I agree.”
“Sometimes there really isn’t a perfect solution.”
“But…”
He smiled.
“You forgot one thing.”
“What?”
“You assumed I have to choose.”
As he spoke, Sun Du flew toward the trapped soldiers.
Then…
He casually threw something behind him.
It was…
The belt Captain Li had lent him.
Ayramirong blinked.
“…A belt?”
She had no idea why he would throw something so ridiculous.
Ignoring it completely, she accelerated toward the prison.
Yet after only a few meters—
She frowned.
“…Why am I slowing down?”
Immediately, she waved her hand.
Dense black mist and countless spatial tears appeared before the flying belt.
Yet…
The belt passed straight through every obstacle.
Even the spatial rifts failed to affect it.
“…Impossible.”
She gritted her teeth.
“It doesn’t matter.”
“My body can’t be touched anyway.”
Ignoring the strange object, she continued toward the prison.
But her speed continued dropping.
The belt, meanwhile, accelerated.
Faster.
Faster.
Until—
It suddenly transformed into a rope.
Whoosh!
The rope wrapped tightly around Ayramirong.
“W-What?!”
“How is this possible?!”
She struggled desperately.
Darkness.
Space.
Every spell she possessed.
None of them could affect the rope.
Just as ordinary attacks couldn’t touch her…
Her powers couldn’t touch it either.
Gradually…
Her body became solid once again.
“You don’t truly represent darkness.”
Sun Du’s voice sounded from behind her.
“You merely control it.”
“And…”
“Anyone who encounters someone better at tricks than you…”
“…will eventually lose.”
He had already rescued the trapped soldiers.
With a casual wave of his hand, the bound Ayramirong floated into his grasp.
Holding her effortlessly, he smiled.
“Maybe one day…”
“I’ll face a situation where I really can’t satisfy everyone.”
He lightly tossed the tightly bound witch into the air before catching her again.
“But today…”
“I can.”
“No cheating.”
