"So, the reason she wasn't returning home was because the Electro Archon had her in her sights... I thought it was because she was too slow-witted to figure it out..."
Ying: "But still, there's no love left QAQ"
Paimon, after listening to their conversation, curiously interjected.
"Speaking of which, the Delusions that Ying mentioned... If that power of the Scaramouche's devours the user's life, why isn't he affected? I've seen him use it quite a bit, haven't I?"
"Heh heh... this question is simple," Paimon said, wagging a finger in the air with a smug expression.
"Because he's not human~ (^_^)"
Paimon: e
"Hah... hah... this move... it completely drained my Geo element... but the power is truly immense. It feels like it's easily twice as large as the Great Ball Rasengan..."
As Ying muttered to herself, the Scaramouche used his abilities to teleport into the crater created by Ying's attack.
Clapping his hands, he looked at Ying and chuckled,
"Heh heh heh... indeed, it is quite powerful. If I hadn't been prepared, I might have been erased from this world by that strike of yours."
"Sca-Scaramouche... you... hah... you bastard..."
Ying struggled to stand, the aftereffects of completely depleting her elemental energy putting a significant strain on her mind.
"Heh heh..."
Seeing Ying trying to resist, the Scaramouche let out a disdainful laugh. With a flash, he appeared beside her, pinning the struggling Ying firmly to the ground.
"Damn it..."
Ying tried to break free from the Scaramouche's grip, but the obstruction of that energy prevented her from using even the little elemental power she had recovered. She could only glare at his face in frustration.
Looking at Ying pinned beneath him, the Scaramouche couldn't help but laugh. He made no move to immediately control her with his power.
"Heh heh heh... although your defense earlier gave me no chance to strike, you have finally fallen into my hands..."
Upon hearing the Scaramouche's words, Ying gritted her teeth and demanded,
"That man earlier... did you intentionally... guide him to my vicinity...?"
