Chapitre 76: Chapter 76: A Chance Encounter
"It looks perfect; I shouldn't be recognized!"
This person was once the cavalry squad captain of the Slane Theocracy, who had been mentally controlled by Shalltear. Later, he was renamed "servant" by Peroroncino and his occupation was changed to a Impostor.
After Shalltear's death, the mental control over him was lifted, which allowed him to escape. He originally fled back to the Slane Theocracy, but after witnessing the strength of its powerful individuals, he fled again. He wandered and eventually ended up near the Elf Kingdom.
"If I've escaped to this place, those monsters should no longer be able to find me. Now, I possess strength stronger than the Kingdom's warlord. I'll be able to thrive wherever I go."
"Hey! There's a red-haired woman up ahead, and she's quite good-looking! After running away for so long, it's time to enjoy myself! Up close, she's even bigger than I expected; looks like it will be very pleasurable."
"Is the left side east? No, that's not it! Is the right side east? That doesn't seem right either." The red-haired woman looked at the map in her hands, thoroughly confused.
"Need help? I can assist you!"
Yelena turned to look at the elven man beside her. He looked quite handsome.
"I've lost my way. Can you help me? I'll reward you afterward!"
"Of course, no problem. Let me take a look at the map."
Yelena handed the map to the elven man.
"By the way, what's your name? My name is Yelena."
"My name is Buxtek Stalin."
"You can just call me Buxtek!"
Buxtek looked at the map and then spoke to Yelena.
"Follow me?"
"? I haven't even told you my destination yet."
"Ah! Sorry, I just instinctively started heading toward where I need to go."
"I'm heading to the Dream Forest in the Elven Kingdom."
"How coincidental! Our destinations are the same."
The two didn't walk for long when Buxtek suddenly stopped and said, "It's getting late. How about we take a break?"
"This place is perfect, surrounded by dense trees, hard to be detected," Buxtek thought to himself.
Yelena looked up at the sun hanging high in the sky. When she looked down again, Buxtek suddenly lunged in front of her, holding a cloth with white powder on it.
Yelena took a step back.
"Are you here to rob me or assault me?"
"Of course, both robbing and assaulting."
"You're quick on your feet. I should get serious too!"
Buxtek drew his long sword. It was a magic weapon, one that Shalltear had casually given him in the past.
"It's been a while since I've encountered someone trying to rob me, but that sword of yours looks familiar... I just can't remember where I've seen it before."
"Don't worry, I have plenty of time. I'll let you remember slowly. Hehehe!" Buxtek grinned lecherously.
"Do you think it's better to lose your left hand or your right hand?"
Buxtek didn't quite understand what Yelena meant, so he charged toward her with his weapon.
"Never mind, losing a hand would make it impossible to take care of yourself. Let's go with the third option!"
Just as Yelena finished speaking, her figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.
In an instant, she appeared right in front of Buxtek, delivering a swift kick to the area between his legs.
Buxtek's face instantly turned a shade of deep discomfort.
Buxtek's body suddenly changed, transforming into a human form. The place Yelena had kicked was actually his stomach, not his lower region. However, the force was enough to make him cry out in pain.
"I didn't expect to meet someone who can transform! You're the first person I've encountered in all these years who can do that."
"Dammit! Woman, you shouldn't have provoked me! While in disguise, I can't use my full strength. Let me show you what true power is!"
Buxtek's speed significantly increased as he charged at Yelena.
Yelena didn't make any move and allowed him to attack.
When the sword struck her body, it was mere millimeters away from piercing her, but it stopped there, unable to move forward any further.
"What is this?! You're on the same level as those monsters!"
"What monsters?"
"Dammit!"
Buxtek used all his strength, wildly swinging his sword, but he couldn't even scratch Yelena.
"How is this possible?! I finally escaped from their clutches, I was supposed to enjoy a beautiful life, yet I'm still encountering someone like this… a monster!"
Buxtek dropped his sword and turned to run, dashing into the nearby bushes.
Yelena followed him, passing through the bushes, but couldn't find Buxtek anywhere.
"My detection skill can only work if he reverts to his original form."
"I don't want to revert to my original form, but I'm really curious about the monsters he mentioned!"
Yelena's body began to shift, almost like liquid, gradually transforming into a strange-looking red slime.
Yelena is the human name that "Bukubukuchagama" gave herself, she had chosen this name just like a username, and if she didn't like it, she'd change it.
"Life perception!"
Bukubukuchagama's vision shifted into a three-dimensional state, like a thermal scanner, sensing the life forms around her.
One particular figure was large and easy to detect.
Buxtek, hidden in the bushes, had disguised himself as part of the foliage.
Bukubukuchagama reverted to her human form and approached the bush where Buxtek was hiding.
She simply stared at him without speaking.
At that moment, Buxtek was sweating profusely.
"I shouldn't be found... Right? My disguise was perfect when I tested it earlier."
Bukubukuchagama kicked him.
Startled, Buxtek reverted to his original form and began to run wildly.
Bukubukuchagama followed behind him. She didn't push herself too hard, instead waiting for him to tire out before giving up. This would make questioning him easier.
Buxtek kept glancing back, but Bukubukuchagama was always right behind him, maintaining a distance that wasn't too close but also not too far. No matter how fast he tried to run, he couldn't shake her off.
After running for several hours, Buxtek finally grew too tired to continue.
"Can you answer my question now? What did you mean by those monsters you mentioned earlier?"
Buxtek recalled the True Vampire form of Shalltear. His eyes were filled with fear, and he remembered how he had been completely under her mental control. He had been like a puppet with no will of his own, a slave serving his master without any independent thought.
Buxtek suddenly pulled a knife from his chest and swiftly stabbed toward Bukubukuchagama's forehead.
However, the attack still couldn't break through Bukubukuchagama's nullification ability.
"Still not cooperating, huh? It's time to make you suffer a bit!"
Bukubukuchagama took out four daggers from her storage space and forcefully stabbed them into the center of his hands and lower legs, pinning him firmly to the ground.
"Ah~!" The pain made Buxtek scream out.
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I'll tell you everything you want to know!"
"What are the monsters you mentioned?"
"There's a group of monsters near Carne Village in the Re-Estize Kingdom. They...."
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" Several elven arrows suddenly shot toward Bukubukuchagama. When she transformed back into her human form, her perception was significantly impaired, and she didn't sense the approaching elves at all.
Several arrows struck Bukubukuchagama's body, but her nullification ability negated all of them. However, Buxtek, being human, wasn't so lucky and was shot through a fatal spot by the arrows.
"It was that human who killed the chief's son. He has a unique elven mark on him."
Buxtek could only disguise himself as someone he had seen before, and the elf he had disguised himself as had been killed by him just days ago.
"What about this human woman?"
"Kill her too! Any human who dares to enter the elven territory should be killed without question!"
Due to her poor perception, Bukubukuchagama didn't shield Buxtek in time, leading to his death. Additionally, she didn't possess any skills to revive others.
"I'm getting a little angry now!"
