Chapter 371 In the Shadows Ⅰ

"certainly!"

'Miss Merry' laughed softly, as if it was a matter of course.

"Compared to helping you, I want to kill you now!"

Dean's palm once again grasped the hilt of [Sharp Thorn of the Wind], and his gaze began to wander between the opponent's neck and heart, as if judging where to start.

"Really? I don't mind dying again, but are you sure you can handle everything in front of you perfectly? My body is the real Miss Meri's body, and if this body is fatally injured, Miss Meri will also suffer To irreversible harm! And, what do you think Earl Merry will think when he sees this scene?"

'Miss Merry' said slowly.

However, Dean seemed a little indifferent, and the murderous intent in his eyes remained undiminished, and it became more and more intense.

"Are you looking for a flaw in the [Substitute Nine Deaths Method]?"

'Miss Merry' looked at Dean, who had been reluctant to make a move for a long time, but was full of killing intent, and immediately guessed the reason why Dean didn't make a move.

Immediately, this 'Miss Merry' let out a chuckle——

"Do you think you can do it? Come on, aim here!"

There was a hint of sarcasm in the laughter of 'Miss Merry', she pointed to her neck, and slowly took a step forward.

Dean didn't move.

Immediately, 'Miss Meili' smiled, very proudly.

However, just as this smile was blooming, Dean drew his sword.

Clang!

[Sharp Thorn of Gale Wind] With a clear sound of unsheathing, the blade flashed a cold light in the room.

The blade grazed the opponent's neck.

"You, you actually..."

'Miss Merry' looked at Dean in disbelief, as if she didn't understand why Dean really dared to use his sword.

laugh!

There was a slight sound like a balloon leaking.

It sounded from the neck of 'Miss Merry'. And a faint smoke escaped from it.

call!

[Sharp Thorn of Gale Wind] The flame rises up. Straight through the smoke.

However, the smoke seemed to be an illusion, and the flame had no effect at all.

Of course, frosting is also included!

When the frost-wrapped [Sharp Thorn of the Wind] swept past the smoke, the faint smoke entered the body of 'Miss Meri' without being stopped at all.

Dean looked at the wound on the opponent's neck and began to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It's just the effort of two breaths. The chest of 'Miss Meili' rose and fell again.

"Dean Ken Zelgon!"

When that 'Miss Merry' opened her eyes, the first thing she said was Dean's name.

It's just that it's the kind of gnashing of teeth.

Dean's answer was to swing his sword up again.

[Standby Nine Deaths] is undoubtedly mysterious and miraculous, but Dean does not believe that such secrets will be flawless—except for the restrictions other than nine deaths, there must be other things.

Dean was so convinced.

Moreover, so what if it is nine deaths?

Kill the opponent nine times in a row, and that's it!

clang!

[Sharp Thorn of Gale Wind]'s blade was blocked by a translucent figure, making the sound of metal strikes. And in the hands of the translucent figure, two translucent sword blades are rapidly forming.

Simultaneously. In the room, streams of air began to circulate rapidly.

Just like a rushing river, the next moment, it becomes tangible——

Grey, with a luster like silk.

And Dean, who was in the room, felt his whole body sinking into the quagmire, and it was difficult to get out, and the long sword in his hand was like a thousand catties, and he couldn't move it.

"Do you want to kill me again?"

'Miss Merry' asked coldly.

"What do you say?"

Dean replied with a sneer, while focusing on the translucent figure——

This translucent figure has limbs and body, but no facial features, replaced by a layer of gray swirl.

A layer of substantive breath emanates from the gray vortex, covering the entire room. The rotation of this gray vortex will drive other gray air currents in the room every time.

It made the pressure on Dean even heavier.

"Gold level? No, it's not... similar to gold level!"

Dean felt the pressure carefully and came to the above conclusion.

It's not the gold-level imposing suppression, but the ability to suppress some kind of imposing manner.

Dean's eyes were fixed on the gray airflow on the facial features of the translucent humanoid.

Here, is the origin of the opponent's ability.

"I originally wanted to have a good talk with you... But, I found that our current situation is more suitable for communication——Lord Zelgon, are you looking for the weakness of my 'atmospheric puppet'? That's right, This is what you see, as long as you break this place, my 'atmospheric puppet' will disappear!"

'Miss Merry' smiled again, as if the hatred just now was illusory and unreal.

Even Dean couldn't feel a trace of resentment or killing intent on the other party.

However, Dean clearly remembered the gnashing of teeth shown by the other party before.

"Come on, let me see your bravery - I can only be resurrected three times in a short period of time, you have killed me twice, and once more, your goal has been achieved!"

'Miss Merry' said frankly with a smile.

At the same time, there was a pause in the gray air in the room, and the pressure on Dean suddenly eased.

However, Dean didn't act immediately.

Dean cautiously looked at the 'Miss Merry' in front of him and the 'Great Puppet' standing next to each other, the murderous intent in his eyes remained undiminished, but there was more scrutiny.

Dean would not believe the other party's words at all.

The revenge of murder is already irreconcilable. If you still believe the other party's words, you are really stupid.

The other party is definitely planning something to make him attack actively.

Dean was convinced of that. But what exactly. Dean was a little unsure.

"Dean. Why are you still hesitating? I'm ready and waiting for you to kill me for the third time... Don't worry, I won't fight back!"

'Miss Merry' walked towards Dean slowly.

One step, two steps, three steps...

There was only a short distance between 'Miss Merrie' and Dean, while the 'Atmospheric Puppet' was still standing there, not showing any signs of moving.

"You wouldn't be...uh!"

'Miss Merry' wanted to say something, but [Sharp Thorn of the Wind] passed through her chest. With the flip of Dean's wrist, Dean clearly felt that the other party's heart was broken by him.

Then. The previous scene reappeared.

The faint smoke appeared again, and then quickly circled around Dean, entering the body of 'Miss Merry' again.

Dean held the [Sharp Thorn of the Wind] in his hand, and felt the repulsion from the opponent's body.

"It should be heart recovery..."

After making such guesses, Dean was naturally unwilling to draw out his long sword. He really wanted to see what the opponent would look like if he didn't draw out the sword and keep breaking the opponent's heart.

but. The 'atmospheric puppet' that had been standing still had moved again.

call!

As the other party moved, the gray air current in the room circulated again. The feeling of being stuck in a quagmire enveloped Dean again.

And, more importantly——

call!

In the gray airflow, the translucent fist of the 'atmospheric puppet' hit Dean straight.

Confronting forces beyond the physical plane.

Dean is absolutely unwilling to fight with his body, especially after the opponent has shown extraordinary strength. Therefore, even if he is unwilling, he can only draw out the [Sharp Thorn of the Wind] to block the punch. go.

clang!

There was another sound of metal clashing.

However, in this punch, Dean didn't feel any heavy power.

Instead, it's just light and fluffy, like a feather.

At the same time, the translucent body in front of his eyes just disappeared——

Like soap bubbles in the sun.

Snapped!

After a crisp sound, it turned into the original water drop.

Immediately, Dean knew that he had been fooled, and he subconsciously looked at the body of 'Miss Merrie' - the ground where the other party should have been lying was already empty.

"Bewildered by the opponent's powerful breath!"

Dean looked at the empty ground and couldn't help squinting his eyes.

At this time, Dean has completely calmed down from the surprise brought by the "atmospheric puppet"——

Obviously, the previous 'atmospheric puppet' could not be used by the opponent in the true sense.

At most, he can only block the knife for himself in a critical moment, or release his momentum and some abilities.

After all, if the opponent can really manipulate the 'atmospheric puppet' like his arms, there is no need to talk to him at all-a puppet that is close to the gold level, like an enemy and not a friend, is definitely better than him. People are too strong.

"Do you think you can escape?"

Dean whispered to himself, and walked quickly out of the room.

The opponent is in a weak period!

Dean is well aware of this.

The other party is weak, and has the identity of "Miss Merry", and at the moment is in the mansion of Earl Merry, the other party will never leave.

Return to 'my' room, and quickly notify 'my father'.

This is definitely the easiest way to save trouble.

"Dean, you?"

The archduke swordsman looked at Dean who was leaving in a hurry, and subconsciously shouted.

"follow me!"

Dean didn't stop and walked quickly.

The Archduke Swordsman did not ask again, but followed quickly.

ps first update~~

I was cleaning up the house today, and then... my back is sore and my legs are hurting!

I don’t know if I don’t clean it up, and I’m shocked when I clean it up——unknowingly, so many things have accumulated in the room.

What's more, Decadent also found a photo of himself when he was in junior high school!

Looking at the youthful appearance in the photo, I can't help feeling decadent that the years are really a butcher's knife - the original handsome boy has become a fat uncle...
