Deep in the Living

Chapter 708 Rose Petals
a minute ago.

With the "reality erased" provided by the tongue, Roddy stealthily followed the scent to the central mansion, where he immediately spotted the black-haired man who was completely unaffected by the wax and had the butler under his feet.

The opponent's attack method was very ordinary, just a simple swing of a hand axe, which killed the prospective steward in one blow.

Roddy's first impression was unlike any of the teachers in the school; if anything, it was quite similar to the former Hunter and Roddy himself.

By tasting through the air with the tongue, one can perceive a unique flavor emanating from this person, a flavor akin to blood corroding metal.

The person's left cheek was made entirely of gold, with a rose pattern intricately carved on its surface.

The left eyeball is unused, with a metal partition directly sealing the eye socket. The only eyeball used is the normal human eyeball on the right side of the face, its blood-red pupil as vibrant as a rose.

Gustav's tongue made a sound at this moment:
"Roddy, promise me! Once you get the tongue, retreat, even if it's just a tiny bit. Forget it, let's just retreat. This guy is no match for you."

The Human Body Expo, chaired by Mr. Rose.

When I was young, I was invited to attend an exhibition that was the largest group event in the middle section of the corner at the time, where various human figures and artistic creations were displayed.

Mr. Rose had already reached maturity at that time, and he seemed to be ranked fourth among plants.

Although the plant with the question mark and I managed to squeeze in later, this guy's strength should be about the same as mine.

Moreover, he seems to have changed a lot. Back then, his whole body was just flesh and blood, but now it has been mixed with strange metallic structures.

Furthermore, you and he are both from the Black Gate! The same type of fear, but with a huge difference in rank; you will be killed.

"Senior, could you provide full assistance to me through 'support combat'? I'd like to try..."

Thump thump~
Roddy's heart began to race, and his entire body felt inexplicably boiling.

The rose before him seemed to be the most delicious food he had ever encountered.

Gustav was naturally able to sense Roddy's emotions, to detect the excitement within him, and even he himself became somewhat excited.

"You have about one-tenth of my style back in the day, alright... I'll help you out a little, at least enough to keep you alive."

at the same time,

[Whirlpool Town - Teacher's Office]

All the teachers, including Hunter, are gathered here for an important meeting on "deep development and the early formulation of external strategies."

Gusta suddenly raised his hand, "I need to pee, I need to go to the toilet."

Teacher Guo immediately saw through the lame excuse, but still nodded in agreement.

Gusta quickly went to the last stall in the men's restroom, stuck out his tongue, and extended it outward from the window, reaching its highest point like an antenna.

He could have gone there himself, but there was no need... Since some young people wanted to take this opportunity to grow, he, as their teacher, naturally had to give them a chance.

……

The instant Mr. Rose attacked Mrs.

Roddy's spine shot out like a slingshot, slashing directly at his opponent's body at top speed.

Without any reservations,

The Black Ridge sword he was holding was also fully extended, transforming into a giant sword.

Unlike before, Roddy can now hold it with one hand, and it seems that the transformation from a zombie state has also brought an increase in strength. As a result, his left hand can be used alone to deal with some emergencies.

It should be noted that Roddy's scent had been completely licked away.

The whole thing is like a transparent person.

Mr. Rose's attention, however, was entirely focused on his wife.

Such a perfect sneak attack should theoretically be 100% successful. But just as the greatsword was about to strike, a rose petal drifted in from nowhere.

The petals were blocking my view.

Although Luo Di had already torn the petals apart with his consciousness slash at the first moment, the scene before him had already changed in that brief delay.

Mr. Rose's axe, which was supposed to strike Mrs. Rose, was now blocked in its path.

Ding!
A loud crash was heard, and wax splattered everywhere.

Due to the temporary reverse parry, Mr. Rose's center of gravity shifted slightly, and he was temporarily forced back by the sword, sliding on the surface of the wax and retreating more than a hundred meters away.

Luo Di stood steadily in front of the lady, his expression blank, but his heart was filled with shock.

follow closely,

A sharp pain came from the front.

A fresh cut ran from Roddy's right shoulder down to his left waist, deep enough to expose the bone.

Not only did his sneak attack fail, but the moment Mr. Rose was forced back, he actually delivered a counterattack with perfect technique.

Fortunately, his posture was rather contorted, and the slash he delivered was not smooth; otherwise, Roddy would probably have been cut in two with that blow.

Tick-tock!
Blood kept seeping out, and conventional regeneration methods were completely ineffective.

What's even stranger is that the seeping blood actually has the feel of rose petals.

Roddy quickly placed his left hand on the wound and licked along the cut... As he finished licking, the wound miraculously healed.

Not only that, Roddy also reached out and took the lady's injured arm, licking and repairing it as well.

The lady looked at the young man who had just arrived in disbelief, at this visitor she had only recently met.

"Roddy, you actually managed to force this guy to back down... and what's with that tongue of yours?!"

Roddy, however, immediately changed the subject, "Madam, cooperate with me..."

"Okay, whatever you do, don't let him into the mansion!"

Just as the lady stood up to stand next to Roddy,
Mr. Rose tilted his head slightly, looking at Roddy's repaired wounds and Mrs. Rose's healed arm, precisely noticing the composition of the saliva on it.

A distinctly Italian accent rang out: "Has Gustave arrived?"

"not coming."

Just as Roddy gave this answer, his tongue suddenly snapped open, and with Gustav's help, he seemed to see a clear picture of his future death.

<His body was completely split in two>

"Roddy, get out of the way!"

Gustav's shouts were transmitted directly to the brain.

Roddy did not make any dodging movements, nor did he intend to confront the attack head-on.

Petals drifted down, and Mr. Rose had already arrived in front of him with an extremely low sprint, his axe coming down from below.

Just as the upward slash was about to hit,

hum!
Roddy suddenly disappeared from his sight, and even the lady beside him didn't know what had happened.

But Mr. Rose quickly noticed something amiss: a deep hole had appeared in the ground covered with wax.

Just as the other party's attention was drawn to the hole and the pit.

hum!
Roddy reappeared, right behind Mr. Rose.

He no longer carried the heavy black greatsword, but instead wielded a simple butcher's knife... Although its power was reduced, it was faster and easier to handle.

Under the moonlight

With the support of cinematic adaptation,
As the protagonist, Roddy received a special enhancement, making him even faster! He was about to behead his opponent.

It's the same situation again...

A rose petal floated past my eyes.

Mr. Rose, who should have been unable to react, had already brought his hand axe down. Unfortunately for him, Roddy's killing intent did not diminish at all, and he suddenly gripped it with both hands.

His left arm exuded a kind of divinity, and Gustav's tongue even helped to wrap around the blade.

A full-force slash, weapons clashing... Crack!

A sound of bones breaking was heard.

The butcher's knife that Luo Di held, which had been transformed from the Black Spine, broke, and a woman's scream could be faintly heard.

Mr. Rose stared wide-eyed; his thumb had been severed, the axe had been thrown, and his remaining fingers were still trembling slightly.

Such a good opportunity, Roddy would naturally not let it slip by, and even with the broken blade in his hand, he still stepped forward.

however.

Mr. Rose, who had been wielding the axe with one hand, suddenly moved his other hand, drawing a curved cleaver from his sleeve.

Immediately afterwards, his aggressive and sweeping attack style also changed.

Roses fall,

A graceful dance move flashed by in an instant, and before Roddy could even see it, his opponent was already behind him... and the attack was over.

Swish!
Flesh and blood separated, and Roddy's body split in two, falling to the ground as two halves lay on the ground.

but,

The wax covering the ground flowed rapidly, enveloping the broken body and sinking it into it.

It wasn't that the lady didn't want to help in the battle, but she knew that even if the two of them joined forces, they would still be doomed.

It's better to live than to die.

Mr. Rose had already retrieved the axe and was stretching his neck as he approached Mrs. Rose.

Just then... Boom! A clap of thunder suddenly came from behind.

Rolling dark clouds are moving in this direction.

A dragon's shadow could be vaguely seen appearing and disappearing among the clouds.

After making a helpless shrug, Mr. Rose gave a standard gentleman's bow... *hum*

Only a single rose remained floating in the air; his true form vanished.
