Neurolink System in the Modern World

Chapter 393 Swords

In a scene straight out of an anime, a red-haired girl confronted 15 guys on the rooftop of a tall building. Each of them wielded a sword, showcasing their trained movements in the art of swordsmanship.

The girl had a katana with a dragon pattern on the hilt, while the guys had regular katanas in black sheaths.

After closer inspection, she wore a stylish uniform featuring a red top paired with a gray skirt and a vibrant red ribbon. The stockings she had on further accentuated her long legs.

Her eyes held a unique orange hue, mirroring the flames emitted by her sword at that very moment.

And she was definitely a beauty, even by my high standards.

She swung her sword with force, and with each swing, flames sizzled through the air. The flames she summoned seemed even hotter than the ones used by the guy with fire powers I had fought back in Korea.

In fact, her sword resembled more a molten rod as she swung it. With each motion, the ground transformed into magma, and metals simply melted under its intense heat. It was the type of attack that could fatally strike down anyone with just a single blow.

But the 15 guys weren't amateurs either.

Fully aware of the girl's lethal attacks, they maintained a safe distance while launching counterattacks. Strategically surrounding her, they aimed to cut off any potential escape routes.

As they trapped her, they not only brandished their swords but also harnessed elemental powers.

One unleashed bursts of chilled air, attempting to quench the flames with icy gusts. Another manipulated the earth beneath, creating barriers of solid rock to absorb and redirect the heat.

Simultaneously, a third member summoned gusts of wind, skillfully timed to coincide with the swings of his blade.

The aim was to not only counter the girl's fire but also disrupt her balance and control over the battle. The synchronized efforts created a harmonious yet intense display of elemental prowess, each member contributing their abilities to form a unified defense.

'Am I in some anime? How are they doing that with elements?' I mumbled to myself, getting a different vibe from what was happening. It felt like they weren't using mind power but a whole other kind of energy.

Well, it wasn't really unusual to stumble on a different power system. The world was vast, and I'm just starting to uncover its secrets.

'Hmm, this looks interesting. Wonder what's going on,' I thought to myself. I had a feeling the girl's backstory was pretty cool.

"Lady Yuki, your father will be mad if he finds out you're trying to escape. Come with us. I'm sure there's another way out of this," the leader of the group said. He had long hair tied behind his back.

"I don't care! He's not my father anymore, the moment he sold me out for marriage!" she replied through gritted teeth, the flames in her sword intensifying.

"Marriage? Is this some cliche arranged marriage between powerful clans?" I wondered, a wide grin spreading across my face. Yuki had caught my interest; her background seemed intriguing, and she was beautiful.

However, I didn't have any intention to save her. I was just here to watch, and there wasn't really a reason for me to play the hero.

'A double mission!' I exclaimed to myself after hearing the system's mission.

It had been a while since my system assigned random missions. I knew it; the system relied on my desires, and it subconsciously recognized my interest in her.

'You're the best wingman,' I chuckled to myself as I transformed and used my mirage to change my clothing.

'Now for my grand entrance,'
