Seeing the glowing pure-white soil in Dottore's hand—the reduced-to-his-original-form Albedo—and hearing Dottore's utterly shameless words, Su Yuan was at a loss for what to even say…
What did he mean by "rescuing Albedo from Albetwo's hands"? Falling into Dottore's hands was even worse!
Albedo was truly pitiful: just escaped the wolf's jaws, only to fall into a tiger's den…
No—more accurately, it was like a tiger named Dottore had gone straight into Albetwo's wolf lair, snatched Albedo away, and even got Albetwo killed in the process…
"Heh, Dottore, you say you 'saved' Albedo, but in truth you only want to use his body for your inhuman experiments!"
Su Yuan sneered back, retorting:
"After all, Albedo is the Chalk Prince, a flawless homunculus. The materials that compose him are incomparably rare. Even you can't resist that kind of temptation, can you?"
"That's why you deceived Albetwo, killed him, and then seized Albedo from his hands!"
"Su Yuan, you're not wrong."
Dottore did not deny it.
He nodded openly, speaking with disarming frankness:
"Although the research Albedo has produced can't even catch my eye, Albedo himself… does hold quite a bit of appeal to me."
"But Su Yuan, compared to Albedo himself, I am far more interested in you!"
"If it could win me your genuine heart, then even releasing Albedo right now wouldn't matter in the slightest!"
As he spoke, Dottore's tone suddenly shifted.
His expression turned cold, and in his other hand he conjured flames of eerie power.
In a threatening voice, he said chillingly:
"Of course, if you refuse to cooperate, as I've said, I will resort to certain… special and forceful methods."
"For example, using the eerie power to completely refine Albedo—erasing his consciousness entirely."
Faced with Dottore's behavior, Su Yuan was no longer surprised…
On the surface he spoke of wanting to be sincere friends, yet in reality, it was always the same routine of threats and coercion.
Though Su Yuan had no wish to be Dottore's friend, right now he seemed to have no other choice.
Albedo's life was still firmly in Dottore's grasp, and with no one around to aid him—and knowing he was absolutely no match for Dottore—he could only grit his teeth…
"Dottore, do you think I still have any other choice right now?"
Su Yuan spoke with a hint of helplessness—but it was only a feint!
The very next moment, he surged forward, wielding Anemo, gathering a swirling vortex of wind in his hand and striking directly at Dottore!
Yes, Su Yuan couldn't be considered completely powerless anymore—after all, he had absorbed some of the Anemo Dragon Sovereign Dvalin's blood, which allowed him to harness Anemo.
Seeing Su Yuan charging at him with Anemo, Dottore's lips curved into a delighted smile.
"Hahahaha, Anemo?"
"You truly please me, Su Yuan!!!"
In the next instant, Dottore simply raised his right hand and effortlessly caught Su Yuan's Anemo strike.
With a casual tone, he commented:
"With Anemo's enhancement, your speed isn't bad—but your attack power is far too weak!"
As he spoke, he suddenly grabbed Su Yuan's wrist and slammed him harshly against the ground!
"Su Yuan, can't you see it clearly? The absolute difference in strength between us?"
Dottore spoke slowly, his voice calm and cold:
"Even if I don't use eerie power, you would still never be my opponent…"
"If you want to deal with me, you'll need to find some Eerie fighters to pit against us!"
"But unfortunately for you, right now there's no one by your side you can make use of…"
Witnessing all this, Su Yuan felt a wave of despair.
The power gap between him and Dottore was simply too vast…
And what's more, Dottore didn't even intend to kill him outright.
To try to die in battle and trigger his death rewind was nearly impossible!
Could it be that both he and Albedo were truly about to fall completely into Dottore's hands?
Just as the situation grew most desperate, Su Yuan suddenly heard an anxious voice cry out loudly:
"Su Yuan, quickly surround yourself with Anemo!!!"
Although Su Yuan didn't know whose voice it was or where it came from, he still followed the instruction, pouring all his strength into surrounding himself with Anemo.
The next moment, he saw an unknown object thrown from somewhere, flying straight toward Dottore.
Calm and composed, Dottore instantly controlled his spikes and shattered the object in midair.
But once it broke, a burst of liquid and mist sprayed out, covering Dottore's entire body.
Su Yuan, however, was untouched thanks to the Anemo barrier swirling around him.
Feeling the liquid clinging to his body, Dottore frowned slightly and muttered in puzzlement:
"This is… alcohol? Why would you attack me with alcohol?"
"If you meant to use an accelerant together with flames to burn me, wouldn't fuel be a much better choice?"
But in the very next moment, Dottore's expression shifted drastically, turning grim.
He felt a dreadful, ominous aura locking tightly onto him…
"Why do you reek of alcohol?"
"Don't tell me… just now, when I wasn't looking, you secretly drank??"
"As expected, all drunkards are worthless scum—all of them deserve to die!!!"
Staring at the twisted face and surging eerie power of "Diona," Dottore suddenly burst into wild laughter, glancing at the fallen Su Yuan and remarking:
"Su Yuan, your luck really is something! I didn't expect your companion to find you so quickly!"
"And to even exploit the rules of eerie transformation, making me the target!"
However, "Diona" gave Dottore no chance to keep speaking.
She instantly gathered eerie power into her claws and lunged at him!
Dottore, caught off guard, hurriedly summoned his own eerie power to block and defend—completely different from the calm, effortless way he had dealt with Su Yuan moments before.
And in this clash, the outcome was clear: Dottore's incomplete eerie state was no match for the fully transformed "Diona."
Although he barely managed to withstand her strike, he staggered back several steps in a disheveled state, almost knocked flat to the ground…
"As I thought, with my current strength, it's still difficult to go head-to-head against a fully transformed eerie state…" Dottore let out a soft sigh, his tone tinged with reluctant helplessness.
