Black Book

Chapter 164 I hope he is in good health

In the sky, Stephanie Pons only saw a circle of white mist-like impact ring flash by on the ground, and the next second, the monster-like boy was already in her face.

Her pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a pinhole, and Stephanie Pons subconsciously activated her innate magical power. Her figure suddenly disappeared from the spot, and then reappeared dozens of meters away without any warning.

【Flash】!
The sword blade cut through an afterimage, and Zhu Haomiao turned his eyes and caught sight of the enemy not far away. He let go of the sword in his hand without hesitation and poured the violent energy in the eight extraordinary meridians into his palm.

boom!
A palm slammed into the round pommel of the sword handle. The sharp eight-sided Han sword was like a steel needle shot out of an electromagnetic cannon. It instantly crossed a distance of dozens of meters, pierced through more than a dozen protective magic spells, entered the eagle man's chest, and exited from his back.

Without realizing she was under attack, Stephanie Pons only felt a flash of white light and a numbness in her chest. She looked down subconsciously and saw a circular gap that was transparent from front to back.

Through the circular hole with a diameter of more than ten centimeters, Stephanie Pons could not only see the remaining internal organs of her body squirming and spasming, but also the lush mountains and land behind her.

It took a full second or two for the intense pain to reach her mind. Blood gushed out from the corners of Stephanie Pons' mouth. She was no longer able to flap her wings. Like a goose shot by an arrow, she fell sadly towards the ground.

On the other side, Zhu Haomiao's figure was still rising unstoppably, and he flew for nearly ten seconds before he completely exhausted his strength and began to fall gradually at an accelerated speed.

thump~
After stepping out of a shallow disc-shaped pit again, Zhu Haomiao slowly stood up, looked around, and found that all the beast spirits around him had disappeared.

After stretching his numb feet, he walked towards the direction where the enemy fell.

Ten minutes later, after picking up the sword he had shot out, Zhu Haomiao found the "crashed" Stephanie Pons in a dense bush.

Perhaps because she was on the verge of death, she could no longer maintain her transformation and reverted to the appearance of a human girl.

However, the originally youthful and charming girl now had blood in her mouth and a bloody through-hole on her chest. Her broken organs were twitching and exposed to the air without any protection, making her look extremely miserable.

"you……"

The girl opened her mouth to speak, but the surging blood blocked her throat, so she could only stare at Zhu Haomiao with resentful and unwilling eyes.

"Don't be afraid, I'll help you get rid of it right away."

Seeing the young man raising his sword expressionlessly, Stephanie Pons regained a little strength as if from a last breath, and squeezed out a word from the depths of her throat.

"Remember... to return... the badge... to me..."

"what?"

Unexpectedly, she managed to utter such a sentence after holding it in for such a long time. Zhu Haomiao was stunned with his sword raised. Before he could react, the girl's neck tilted, her pupils slowly dilated, and she lost her breath.

Looking at the pupils that were gradually becoming empty and dim, Zhu Haomiao blinked and put down the sword he was holding high.

The next second, colorful mist invisible to others rose from the girl's body and sank into Zhu Haomiao's body like a young swallow flying into the forest.

Greed absorbed desire and luck, the strange black light in the boy's eyes squirmed and rolled, and he couldn't help but reveal a smile of pleasure and enjoyment.

But soon, the source essence and desire extracted by death were completely devoured, and the illusory soul was ejected from this plane and disappeared in the perception.

Smacking his lips with satisfaction, Zhu Haomiao looked at the [Book of Black].

[Jealousy] +200, [Greed] +100, [Lust] +100
[Jealousy]: LV.4→LV.5 (178/1000)

[Agility] +4
[God] +2
[Strength] +2
Apart from [jealousy] which was already on the verge of escalation, the other two original sins were simply a drop in the bucket!
Is this the only gain for a gold-level mage?

Compared to the previous killing of Arao Koichi, a mere silver-level native contributed 800 points of [Lust]. Zhu Haomiao frowned and pondered as if he had realized something.

It seems that as the level of original sin increases, the same 1 point of experience has a very different "value"...

0 points at LV.100 might only be equivalent to 6 point at LV.1!
While pondering, Zhu Haomiao couldn't help but think of a certain game in which he had won a lot of games, and shook his head with nostalgia.

The value of Chuunibyou Taikun is still rising!
Zhu Haomiao sheathed the sword, clasped his hands together and prayed devoutly.

I hope I can meet him again in other fantasy realms in the future... I hope he can grow up to be fat and strong, with juicy and delicious meat...

Pooh!
wrong!

I hope he is healthy, safe and happy!

Amen~
After making the sign of the cross on his chest, Zhu Haomiao looked down at the girl's miserable corpse and pursed his lips in embarrassment.

After hesitating for a moment, the boy dragged the girl's body back to the sentry post on the hill. When passing by several cold corpses of locust soldiers, he suddenly had an idea.

It seems like there is some money to be made...

Blinking his eyes and following the spiritual guidance, Zhu Haomiao cut off the heads of five locust soldiers and piled them into a small memorial on the flat ground of the outpost.

In an instant, the simple ritual was completed, and a faint colorful mist materialized from the void, seeping into the boy's body surface bit by bit.

[Anger] +6
Emmmm…

That's it? ! !

Looking at the number which was better than nothing, Zhu Haomiao pondered for a moment and sighed helplessly.

That's fine, it's better to have something than nothing...

The boy sighed, and suddenly had an idea. He looked at the corpse of the girl with empty eyes beside him.

Chop off her head too...will that happen?

A bold idea flashed through his mind, but Zhu Haomiao finally suppressed the evil thought and shook his head.

They are not the locust army. It seems uncivilized and impolite to chop off heads randomly...

But the next second, wild and abstract thoughts came to my mind again.

If you don't chop off my head, I can eat it while it's still hot...

hehehe~
Halfway through his thought, Zhu Haomiao suddenly reacted, his pupils instantly shrank to the size of a pinhole, and he took a breath.

It’s against the will of heaven!

After slapping himself hard, Zhu Haomiao took a deep breath and frantically prepared himself mentally.

First of all, you are a human being!
Secondly, you are a human being!
People can't, at least shouldn't, take advantage of the heat...

Shivering, Zhu Haomiao forced himself to calm down, took a gold badge engraved with an oak tree and a crown from the girl's body, and quickly left the outpost on the hill.

Not long after he left, his teammates arrived at the scene after seeing the smoke signals and coming to support him.

"STEFANIE!!!"

The body of the "broad-minded" girl was seen sitting against the wall with her head tilted. Several young men swarmed over with sad faces.

After a brief moment of sadness, the adventers, who were used to seeing life and death, calmed down and regained their composure.

"The holy emblem is gone. It must have been recovered by the enemy."

"The organizing committee will be responsible for collecting the badges of the dead, so don't worry about that..."

Squatting down, the leading young man gestured at the nearly one-inch wide round hole on the girl's chest, his brows knotted a little.
