Abstraction for a bad world

Chapter 191: Monsters, don't laugh at the traditional plot (4.1k)

For a moment, the Heart Eater wanted to laugh out loud.

However, his good self-cultivation and quality still made him stop the laughter that was about to burst out.

The Heart Devourer suppressed his laughter and said, "My dear young man... considering that you are also a demon, I advise you not to daydream like this."

"Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

The mercenary raised his hand to make a gun shape, unfolded a spell with his fingertips, and snorted: "Do you really think that just because you have a cult dog tag on you, you can protect him? You are such a shameless person."

huh~
The solid shadow of the arrow of light flashed and flew from the mercenary's fingertips towards Yuan Qingzhuo's forehead...

No, it should be said that it flashed away.

Because the space in between was completely skipped by the light arrow!
Except for the trembling child hiding in the closet, everyone present could recognize that the mercenary was now using the extremely rare and powerful [Space] authority.

——Although it is only a "projection" of the sublimation stage, it is not even a fragment of the real authority.

But even so, just relying on this one trick can make mercenaries difficult to deal with.

The Heart-Eating Demon narrowed his eyes slightly and completely gave up the idea of ​​attacking the mercenaries.

Not only does he possess this powerful authority, but it can also be seen that he deliberately displayed his strength by swallowing the monster just now, and he responded in this way.

What a troublesome guy.

——When you meet someone new, dump him.

This is what the Heart-Eating Demon planned.

Unfortunately, this plan will ultimately fail.

"To be honest, I understand most of the principles and usage of space techniques, but I still can't touch the power of space."

Raising his palm, Yuan Qingzhuo stared at the arrows of light that kept flashing through the bubbles in his hand and sighed softly.

——Space-related technique “Sky Canopy”?
This kid, when did he construct the technique?

The mercenary's eyes twitched slightly, but he remained calm on the surface and just raised his finger again and pointed it at Yuan Qingzhuo.

But inside he was starting to go crazy.

“What a joke!!! I used the Shadow of Authority to compress the infinite tracking arrows released within 0.1 seconds, and this kid just caught them in his hands?!”

You know, although he is not good-looking.

However, the light arrow just released can be regarded as one of the mercenaries' strongest means.

From raising his hand to obviously construct an ordinary light arrow spell to deceive the enemy, to using 90 seconds to enhance the spell by more than ten times, and finally adding the authority of space to ignore more than % of the distance in an instant.

Not to mention that he also wore various spell-enhancing devices on his wrists - at the moment the light arrow was released, more than a dozen enhancements such as "armor penetration enhancement", "toxin addition", and "speed enhancement" would be added to it.

Not to mention that it can lock onto enemies and track them automatically.

Theoretically, almost no one at the sublimation level would be able to escape injury from such a light arrow when first seen!
What’s more, he was trapped in it by a Mercury-level kid using a makeshift space spell!

Hey, this is simply impossible to accomplish.

There's something wrong with this kid. Definitely something wrong.

Could it be that I ran into the old guy who pretended to be young to participate in the Martial God Festival?

"Oh? It seems you still have some strength."

The mercenary pretended to be slightly surprised and smiled: "Just now I only tested one percent of my strength, I will use one tenth this time."

One percent?

Yuan Qingzhuo crushed the space bubble in his palm and his expression became slightly serious.

Didn't I realize the other party's full strength?

possible.

After all, this is the Martial God Festival where it is said that strong people are everywhere and geniuses are worse than dogs.

If the other party uses his full strength, the kid in the closet will be in trouble.

Then, before the other party makes a move, strike first!

The mercenary glanced at the Heart Eater beside him while speaking - after seeing that the other party still looked nonchalant, the mercenary sneered in his heart.

——Luckily this guy hasn’t figured out anything yet.

Stupid demon, just stay here and hold off this monster for me for a few seconds.

"Heart Devourer, please help me be alert in front."

The mercenary shrugged casually and said, "This kid is quite powerful. In order not to make too much noise, I will gather some strength."

"Small things."

The Heart Eater smiled and nodded, then stood in front of the mercenary under his mocking eyes.

The mercenary raised his hand, and under the coverage of the slowly formed light arrow spell, the personal space transfer spell was quickly deployed.

This is your own stupidity...

Transfer procedure completed!
Yuan Qingzhuo raised his eyes.

A martial arts will enveloped the cabinet behind him, and Yuan Qingzhuo himself disappeared without any warning.

"Step aside!"

In the Heart Devourer's ears, along with the mercenary's roar, fell...

silent.

The Heart Devouring Demon opened his mouth: "..."

But no sound was made.

the reason is simple.

Because the air in the house and the surrounding air, with Yuan Qingzhuo as the center, who had appeared behind the Heart-Eating Demon at some point in time, all the air within a radius of dozens of meters disappeared completely.

Because of the squeezing of a punch, because of the repelling of a punch, it disappeared completely.

The next second, the surrounding air rushed towards this side like crazy.

Accompanied by a loud noise that sounded like dozens of tons of bombs exploding, which came from hundreds of meters away.

The Heart-Eating Demon turned around and felt a buzzing in his head.

Looking at the former village that had been crushed into ruins and emptied by the second punch, Yuan Qingzhuo raised his eyebrows:

"Actually ran away?"

There was no trace within a radius of thousands of meters.

Yuan Qingzhuo laughed.

That mercenary was actually so clever—did he see that he was going to strike right before the light arrow spell was formed, so he put the transfer spell earlier?

So, the other party had seen through his strength from the very beginning - at least most of his strength, so he started laying the groundwork from the moment the first light arrow was released?

Have you even considered using the Heart Eater to delay time?
Really old-fashioned...

"Hey."

After letting out a sigh of relief, Yuan Qingzhuo felt the numbness spreading all over his body.

The opponents of the Martial God Festival should not be underestimated.

After a moment, Yuan Qingzhuo turned around and grinned happily at the Heart Devouring Demon:
"Mr. Heart Devourer, do you have any tricks you haven't used yet?"

Looking at the dense forest stretching into the distance, even the dense forest has been plowed away to form an empty passage several meters wide and hundreds of meters long...

This is the effect of just one punch.

Even if there were ten of him standing inside, they wouldn't be enough to fight him.

What the hell… I was actually born in the same place as this monster that is even on the list.

Damn, this is so unlucky.

The Heart-Eating Demon had already labeled himself as "death sentence" in his heart, but he was still unwilling to give up, so his entire body turned blood red.

Secret technique - blood boiling technique!

The fragile human skin was torn apart in an instant, and the devil's hideous roar sounded.

“Even if I die, I will tear it off your body—” The Heart-Eating Demon opened his mouth, and dozens of spells intertwined and merged in his mouth.

Then, it was smashed to pieces by a punch from Yuan Qingzhuo, who looked stunned.

Wow~
The Heart-Eating Demon's body turned into a bloody rain and fell from the sky.

"A warlock actually wants to use his ultimate skill right in front of a warrior?" Yuan Qingzhuo rubbed his temple in confusion, pinched his nose and waved his hand: "Isn't this just courting death? Does this guy think this is a turn-based game?"

Without understanding the Heart Devourer's thoughts, Yuan Qingzhuo bent down and waved at the pair of incredulous eyes in the closet: "Hello, hello, hello? Is Xiaohai brother there? You can come out now, it's safe~"

crunch...

The creaking sound of the wooden cabinet echoed in the deserted ruins, and a boy in cloth shoes walked out in a daze.

Everything changed too fast.

This brother is only a few years older than me?

Originally he was ready to die.

"Ah... um, brother, thank you."

The dusty boy quickly calmed down, bowed deeply to Yuan Qingzhuo, and then spoke with a stutter:
"Although it may be a little abrupt and rude, could you please go and kill the monsters outside first? The people outside should be in more danger than me."

Yuan Qingzhuo glanced at him and replied casually: "If I leave, you might die, right?"

"I'm just one person, and I may not really die." The boy lowered his head and was silent for a while before saying, "One to several hundred, this simple arithmetic problem can be solved by everyone."

At this moment, Yuan Qingzhuo really looked at the boy.

The boy was pale and thin, showing signs of long-term malnutrition, and he was wearing a patched and tattered linen shirt.

His fingers were rough, perhaps from holding a sword for a long time, or perhaps from doing farm work for a long time - but it didn't matter.

After all, this was just an audition for the Martial God Festival, and he had only known the boy for about a week at most.

“Although I think your suggestion is good.” Yuan Qingzhuo shrugged: “But it seems that all the villagers outside died not long ago... Maybe a few survived by chance, but they are also several kilometers away.”

The boy was stunned, and for the first time he looked at a loss.

"so."

Yuan Qingzhuo smiled and looked up.

"The remaining two monsters are coming towards us."

The next moment, two burly black shadows tore the wooden board into pieces and jumped out from behind the boy with a roar and a bloody wind!

"Come on, close your eyes."

Yuan Qingzhuo's chuckle passed by the boy's ears, and the latter obediently closed his eyes tightly.

Bang, bang.

Once on the left, once on the right.

Then the monster's roar disappeared.

It's like magic.

The end...is it over?

The boy with his eyes closed hesitated for a moment, and finally opened his eyes after hearing Yuan Qingzhuo say "It's okay".

He turned around and saw the bodies of two eroded species scattered on the ground.

Okay, so strong...

This big brother seems to be much stronger than the angels who were stationed in the village before.

If it's this older brother, maybe... no, it will definitely work!
The boy looked at Yuan Qingzhuo, who turned around and looked at him and asked:
"what happened?"

The boy said seriously: "Big brother, my name is Shitou."

Is this a cheap name from another world that is easy to support?

That's not right. This "stone" doesn't have any otherworldly style. It can be placed anywhere.

"It's clean and fresh."

Nodding at the stone, Yuan Qingzhuo didn't waste any time and said directly: "If you have something to say, just say it."

"Brother Yuan Qingzhuo, can you..."

Shitou took a deep breath and asked tremblingly, "Take me to the Royal City? There should be monsters like this everywhere in the world now. I'm afraid the Royal City is the only safe place now."

Yuan Qingzhuo, who was originally planning to find a "local guide" to ask questions, was stunned and showed an interested expression: "How much do you know about the current situation?"

He had not imagined what a child from a remote village could know.

You know, under normal circumstances, in this environment where there is a lack of means of information exchange, Shi Tou should be as clueless as Caroline.

Even the adults in the village should not be much different.

"Tell me about the current situation in this world."

Yuan Qingzhuo tossed the white chess piece that had just exploded from one of the erosion species in his hand and said to the stone: "If you say yes, I will take you to the royal city."

After a brief thought, Yuan Qingzhuo heard Shitou say:

"The world seems to be destroyed..."
.
Five kilometers away.

The mercenaries who were randomly transferred to a hilltop stared at the road that was cleared in an instant, speechless.

Sweat already soaked his back.

"Shit, all the kids who come to the Martial God Festival are fucking monsters..."

Empire.

Caroline drew out the knight's sword that came with her status towards Rush.

"Queen! Give me the throne now, or I will kill you!"

In the empty palace, Caroline's stiff and cold voice echoed for a long time.

As the words fell, an extremely sharp sword blade appeared.

She broke the fallen crown in two and scratched Rush's cheek with the tip of her sword.

A trickle of scarlet blood slowly flowed down.

Rush was about to respond according to the "plot" he had just made up when he saw Caroline's mouth corners suddenly curl up.

She whispered with joy:

"It worked... My evil value has reached the maximum because of this."

A trace of surprise flashed across Rush's eyes.

Did it actually succeed?

Would the swordplay of ordinary contestants lead to such an increase in evil?

impossible.

Doesn't that mean that his and Caroline's identities are indeed real in this world?
I am the expected [Queen].

And Caroline was indeed her [Captain of the Personal Guard].

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why Caroline's evil value increased drastically just by drawing her sword and scratching her.

Rush's face darkened slightly, but she did not respond to Caroline. She just showed a compassionate expression according to the plot: "No... my most trusted captain of the guards, I believe you just didn't understand for a moment, come, put down your weapon..."

The queen didn't care about her own injuries or the captain's usurpation of the throne, and hugged the captain of the guard who was trying to rebel and seize the throne like a Madonna.

But this time, Rush's kindness value did not increase.

Instead, it didn't move at all.

——Is it that the goodness value will not increase because of this behavior, or is there some other reason?

——This still needs to be verified by Caroline!
"Hmph! Incompetent queen! Let me put an end to your rule!"

Caroline sneered, kicked Rush in the abdomen to make him fall, and swung her sword to tear most of her dress into pieces.

Then, he pressed the blade against Rush's neck.

In an instant, the evil value in Caroline's eyes almost rose to the sky.
