Re:Zero -Starting Life in Zero

"Margaret! This guy already knew your real name when you arrived, so be careful not to get touched by his hand."

Greene reminded him that he also didn't know what the girl in the red robe was capable of.

Margaret stretched out her right hand, moving her slender fingers.

"It's a pity that the little fish only gave me a moment of fullness, otherwise this little dwarf would have been flattened just now."

Lai staggered to his feet, supporting himself on the ground, squeezing his muscles to compress the wounds. In his lifeless, murky eyes, only a frenzied madness, burned red by desire, remained.

"Hahaha—it's so unfair that you're the only one eating! Please let me taste you too!"

Before he finished speaking, a cold light flashed on the back of his hand, and two bound short swords popped out of their sheaths.

His figure blurred into a blur as he darted out, the short sword piercing Margaret's throat at a tricky angle.

Ding!

Margaret's lips curled into a mocking smile. With a flick of her wrist, two slender fingers, arriving before the blade, precisely clamped down on it.

"That's quite impressive skill. Despite looking so young, you can execute moves that most people would take decades to master."

Margaret tilted her head and gently twisted her fingertips. Ray felt a tremendous force coming from her, and his right wrist sword began to tremble and twist slightly, unable to withstand it.

boom!

With a muffled bang, the sword shattered.

Sharp shards flew everywhere, piercing deeply into Ray's arm, and blood gushed out instantly.

"Great! Excellent! Isn't it wonderful!" Instead of feeling pain, Ray roared with excitement, "Your enviable physical strength isn't the scent of blessing! I need exactly this method to enhance my physique!"

His pupils were wide open with extreme greed. Dragging his bleeding arm, he frantically swung the only sword on his left wrist, hacking wildly at Margaret.

The sword light was so dense and fast that only a cold afterimage could be seen.

But Margaret easily deflected each attack with her fingernails, the metallic scraping sound seeming like a mockery of him.

"It's not over yet! It's not over yet!"

With a roar, Ray's left arm muscles bulged wildly as he channeled his last bit of strength into the sword and thrust it toward Margaret's heart.

Margaret raised an eyebrow, clenched her fist, and flashed to Ray's face, delivering a swift and powerful thrust forward.

boom!

With another sharp crack, the sword on his left wrist shattered, and sharp fragments mixed with Ray's blood splattered all over his face.

The Bishop of Gluttony staggered back half a step, the excruciating pain from his wounds almost tearing his consciousness apart.

"Ah, this kind of excruciating pain...it's so good!"

Suddenly, Ray grinned wildly, his mouth stretching to his ears, "The more pain there is, the stronger the desire to devour becomes!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly arched his back and pounced on Margaret like a dying beast.

"Sigh... I still dislike this kind of playing style that gets my clothes dirty."

Margaret's eyes turned cold, and she raised her hand to deliver a chop to his chest with a whooshing sound.

puff-

The hand slash pierced through Rai's body without any resistance, and warm blood instantly splattered onto the girl's red robe, blooming into alluring flowers.

Ray's body trembled violently, but he stared intently at Margaret, who was so close to him, his eyes surging with extreme madness and greed.

It's now!

With his last ounce of strength, he pressed his mangled hand hard against Margaret's shoulder, leaving a trail of blood on her crimson cloak.

"Hahaha, I caught you... I finally caught you! Miss Margaret, I'll accept your name and your memories..."

Rai made a strange hoarse sound from his throat, and a bizarre blackish-purple light emanated from his palm as the power of gluttony operated wildly.

He raised his other hand to his mouth and licked his palm with his long tongue.

Green's heart leaped into his throat, his pupils shrank to pinpoints, and he sprang up from his chair.

"Margaret, retreat! His power will erase your existence."

Once her true name is known and the act of touching is complete, and the power of gluttony is activated, even this mysterious girl in front of her will likely not escape the fate of having her name and memories stolen!

Shila-

With a piercing sound, Ray's palm charred and carbonized at a visible speed, and excruciating pain spread wildly up his arm, shooting straight to the top of his head.

His eyes widened in disbelief, his dead-fish pupils filled with terror, and his manic smile froze on his face, instantly twisting into a painful, ferocious expression.

"How...how is this possible?!"

The backlash of his power swept over his limbs and bones like a tsunami. His soul stomach felt as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, and the cramping pain made him curl up, his throat churning.

"puff!"

He suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood, mixed with fragments of broken internal organs, and his aura weakened at an alarming rate.

Margaret quietly watched the person before her gradually wither away, a mocking smile curving her lips.

She twisted her waist sharply and pulled the hand chop back.

His long, slender right leg, like a steel whip gathering power, lashed out with a sharp, piercing sound as it delivered a powerful spinning kick towards Lai's abdomen.

This kick was as fast as lightning, and its power was terrifying.

Before Lai could even see the movement, he felt a heart-wrenching pain in his abdomen and was sent flying backward as if struck by an earth dragon.

"Ugh—!"

Ray's body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, flying more than ten meters away before crashing heavily to the ground.

He tried to lift his head, but he didn't even have the strength to move his fingers. He could only watch helplessly as the floating blood sphere beside Margaret slowly began to glow faintly.

The next second, an irresistible suction force came from the blood sphere.

As if an invisible hand had torn open the wounds on Lei's body, the gushing blood no longer dripped onto the dust, but instead turned into thin blood lines, rushing towards the blood sphere.

The burning pain of the wound was instantly replaced by an empty chill, and his body withered away at a visible speed.

Severely injured, Ray broke down and questioned the person who had caused all of this.

"Why! Why did this happen!"

The blood sphere emitted tiny threads, which pulled Margaret into the air.

The red cloak behind her fluttered in the wind, its hem brushing against the girl's cheek, as if caressing her junior.

She raised her hand, rubbed a corner of her cloak against her cheek, and said gently, "I'm sorry, little dwarf, my dear grandmother wasn't named Margaret."

Green swallowed hard and slumped back in his chair, looking utterly exhausted.

"Holy crap, it really is a human skin suit!"

Looking at the Gluttony Archbishop lying on the ground, Green's mouth gradually stretched to his ears.

He stood up again, dragged the chair in his hand, and hurried towards the girl in the red robe.

"Alright, Margaret's already taken the lead, now it's time for the relay! Let me kick her a couple of times!"
