บท 55: Chapter 56
Yumo's idea,
Was actually quite simple,
She had finally encountered the heroine she had been longing for! In order to stay by her side and secretly nurture her growth, Yumo naturally needed to win Mengxi's favor!
Once her favorability increased,
The heroine might consider her a friend, or a trustworthy subordinate,
At that time, she could openly be by the heroine's side, and it would be convenient for her to guide and efficiently assist the heroine in becoming stronger during future trials!
To personally raise the heroine, hehe~,
Seemed to be quite a fulfilling task~
And now, it seemed to be a good opportunity to increase favorability~
With divine's Punishment sect assassins in front and endless demonic armies behind, her teammates were so unreliable! It was likely that Mengxi's heart was utterly cold at this point! If she could offer a bit of warmth at this moment,
'Hehe, it should have a good effect,'
Thinking of this, the pink-haired girl, who was Yumo in disguise, unconsciously raised the corner of her mouth slightly. Then, Yumo used her watery, worried blue eyes to gaze pitifully at the silver-haired girl, and her voice trembled slightly as she spoke,
"Sis, big sister, I don't want to go, I want to stay here..."
Her pitiful expression, pitiful words, and the action of tightly holding Mengxi's hand unexpectedly made Mengxi freeze on the spot. Seeing this, Yumo secretly rejoiced in her heart,
However,
After waiting for a moment,
Instead of Mengxi's words of gratitude, Yumo was met with a slightly angry scolding,
"You little girl, did your brain freeze? Don't you know what's going on right now? You won't leave? What use would you be if you stayed?! What can a slave girl, who isn't even a believer, do?! Stop causing trouble!"
Yumo: ...=-=
Ah, this,
Why is she saying this so suddenly?? It seems a bit different from what I expected!?
Wait, could it be...?
In the next instant,
Before Yumo could react, Mengxi looked extremely displeased and disgusted as she shook off Yumo's hand,
"Don't touch my hand, it's filthy."
After saying this, the silver-haired girl turned to the two Asumos Church knights nearby,
"You! Hurry up and take her away!"
? ? !!
"Yes, y-yes!! Understood, Captain!"
After hearing Mengxi's cold words, the two male knights showed a panic-stricken expression.
Glancing at the nearby cloaked men and the massive demonic army in the direction of the city wall, the two knights rushed to Mengxi's side, forcibly lifting the wronged pink-haired girl from the ground,
Then, the two knights dragged the pink-haired girl toward the south!
As for Mengxi, she indifferently turned her head, coldly gazing at the two cloaked men not far away, and drew her silver sword from her waist.

"..."
Watching the retreating Asumos Church knights, Elbino, hidden beneath the black cloak, narrowed his black eyes in thought,
At the same time,
The voice of the other cloaked man, Zack, reached Elbino's mind through communication magic,
'Big brother, should we go after those fleeing guys?'
'It doesn't matter.'
After pondering for a moment, Elbino replied indifferently in his mind,
'Those two useless knights don't matter, and as for the slave girl? She doesn't seem like someone we can use as a bargaining chip.'
'Could they be putting on a show for us?'
'Not very likely. A noble existence like the Fated Girl wouldn't care so much about a lowly slave.'
'But, when I was observing from afar earlier, this woman seemed to take good care of the girl?'
'Most likely putting on an act to win over the residents, right? Don't those hypocritical Asumos Church guys always do this? The Fated Girl's acting skills shouldn't be bad. If we go after them now, that might be falling into their trap.'
"Uh, alright, since you say so, big brother, it must be correct."
Hearing the captain's words, Zack no longer paid attention to the departing Asumos Church knights and focused on Mengxi once more! Although the girl in front of him was wearing a mask, judging from her figure and gem-like beautiful eyes, her face must be extraordinary!
If he could personally dismember such a beautiful being,
Wouldn't the demon god be pleased as well?
Thinking of this, Zack revealed a cruel smile, and he was already eager to try,
"Little girl? Have you decided? Do you want your head chopped off in one stroke? Or would you prefer to die in excruciating pain?"
Zack's words were full of mockery,
In response to this,
Mengxi disdainfully tilted her head,
"Instead of these two boring options, I prefer the third choice."
"Hm? What third choice?"
" to kill both of you."
Saying this, the girl slowly raised the silver sword in her hand, pointing the blade directly at Zack's brow,
With this gesture,
Zack's face suddenly showed a fierce glare, and the ferocious color in his black eyes became even more intense,
"Kill us?! With you, a Rank 5 Middle-level master?! We're both Rank 6, you know?! Don't overestimate yourself, little girl!"
"Why don't you give it a try?"
"You!! Fine, let's give it a try!"
"Calm down, Zack!"
Just as Zack was about to unleash his power, Elbino timely spoke up to stop his actions and feigned elegance as he looked into the silver-haired girl's beautiful eyes:
"Worthy of being the Fated Girl, even at this time, you remain calm. We know you're strong, and capable of defeating Rank 6 demonic creatures. But we're humans, not like those stupid brutes that rely only on raw power. The tricks you used to deal with those demons might not be effective against us."
"So, what's your point?"
"And then, you should have acted sooner if you really wanted to defeat us."
"Why?"
"Because now, my companion has arrived."
Before his words fell, Elbino suddenly revealed a cruel smile,
In the next moment,
Two more figures in black cloaks appeared, racing from a distance! Clearly, they were also from the Divine Punishment sect, having rushed from the nearby fortress after being summoned by Elbino! All to ensure the complete annihilation of the Fated Girl!
Seeing the two incoming black figures, Mengxi's gaze undoubtedly became more solemn,
After noticing the change in the girl's eyes, the smile on Elbino's face grew more rampant,
"Hahaha!! Regret is useless! Now, you have even less hope!"
With that,
Elbino gripped his double sickles tightly, taking an attacking stance! The black fighting aura around him surged wildly, transforming into a pitch-black energy armor attached to his body! The air became suffocatingly oppressive!
Without a doubt, Elbino was preparing to launch an attack on the silver-haired girl alongside his arriving companions!
All to ensure her capture alive!
"Boom!!!"
Accompanied by two earth-shattering booms! Under the expectant gazes of Elbino and Zack, two black figures suddenly fell from the sky!! They landed heavily, raising a cloud of dust!!
Seizing the opportunity, Elbino roared:
"Now's the time! Move...move? Huh???!!!"
However,
Before he could finish speaking, Elbino's eyes suddenly narrowed, forcibly swallowing his own words,
Because he suddenly discovered an unbelievable fact,
As the dust settled,
Under the astonished gaze of the two cloaked figures, the other two Divine Punishment sect powerhouses who had come to reinforce them revealed their true faces! However, their condition was quite different from what Elbino had imagined...
These two people weren't exactly bursting with life,
At the very least, they were already grinning in the afterlife,
At this moment, these two Rank 6 masters of the Divine Punishment sect, inexplicably, had their heads smashed, their skulls fractured, and their brains scattered – they couldn't be any more dead...
Mengxi: ...
Elbino & Zack: "...What the hell is going on!!!???"
In an instant,
An eerie silence fell among the three, Mengxi was stunned, the duo in black cloaks dumbfounded, and the only sound that could be heard in the quiet scene was the fluttering of several crimson butterflies by the side of the two dead men,
Flap, flap~
The butterflies were incredibly beautiful,
But they sent chills down one's spine...
