Love, Gun, Cupid

“My men have taken away his vision; he’s in light pollution now and can’t see anything. The reason he can still fight is probably because he’s undergone intense blind fighting training,” Black Cat said.

"I mean, you're the commander of the rescue operation at the hospital, so why are you here?!"

"What's the difference? Lin Jiade's house has a door that leads to the hospital. Only by killing him, storming his house, and then using that door to launch a surprise attack on the hospital can we possibly win."

Those direct attacks on the hospital, aside from those used to tie down Korobochka, were just wasted resources; they had no command value.

"Dolphin and I can definitely fight him. You take the rest and go quickly!"

"No, that building has Korobochka's witchcraft. We need to kill Lin Jiade and cut off his hands and feet before we can get in. So, good luck."

Little Melon wanted to ask more questions, but Jasmine arrived, and the black cat's gaze shifted to the other side, where Ice Cave, with a hair flower in her mouth and her hair tied into pigtails with a hair tie, was jogging over.

Whether there will be an extra episode today depends on whether RNG can win.

Chapter Eighty: Lying (Part Seven)

The way she entered the ice cave was hilarious, but for beings like Iphigenia and the miniature snowmen, whose power originated from the dark side of the sacred land, her presence was incredibly troublesome.

“Get people,” she said to the miniature snowman. “Don’t let her join up with Lin Jiade. Ideally, we should be Lin Jiade’s enemy, and the White Dragon’s offspring’s enemy the Holy Land Guardian.”

Miniature Yeti's ability to summon reinforcements is a versatile strategy, which can be used to counter Lin Jiade as well as his henchmen.

According to Xiao Xianggua, Lin Jiade seems to have a Siamese twin complex; he won't leave the house without a companion. In short, fighting Lin Jiade won't offer the romance of a one-on-one duel between men; it will 100% turn into a chaotic brawl.

Now that Iphigenia had made her decision, the miniature snowman breathed a sigh of relief. Regardless of victory or defeat, if he could return alive, he wouldn't be questioned about his status by those ruthless, cold-blooded, and passionate Greek researchers.

“But we don’t have a suitable candidate for the Guardian of the Holy Land. The only people we can get now are from within the organization,” said the miniature snowman. “Let the White Dragon’s offspring deal with the Guardian of the Holy Land, and I’ll get people to take care of Lin Jiade.”

"Do it this way."

Little Melon was originally intended as a secret weapon to deal with Lin Jiade, and he also considered ending Lin Jiade as his mission. However, his father had also instructed him to obey Iphigenia's orders, so he pouted and headed towards the ice cave.

Jasmine realized her mistake. Ice Cave was the type of opponent who would order food from a specific one, but would be ordered food from another. She should have come with Ice Cave. As compensation, she wrapped her tail around Lin Jiade, took a deep breath, jumped up, and flew over Iphigenia and the others towards Little Melon.

Lin Jiade was somewhat surprised. Both Jasmine and he were making progress, and her physical fitness was growing faster than his... No, not growing, but recovering. Jasmine was recovering towards her state as a dragon bloodline.

He glanced at Jasmine and noticed that her vertical pupils were gleaming, her scales were thicker, and her body was covered with bulging muscles, vaguely resembling a large lizard.

Jasmine flung Lin Jiade out of the air, then landed to stop her two brothers. However, they showed no intention of recognizing each other. Flames flowed from their mouths, intertwining with the clash of their claws and tails.

The dolphin attempted to intercept Lin Jiade, but the spell on Lin Jiade's waist lit up, accelerating him through the air and leaving the fire spell behind. At this moment, the miniature snowman also finished casting and shook him over. The snowman raised his hand and shot a black mist towards Lin Jiade.

Lin Jiade's vision was still filled with light pollution, which made him dizzy. Based on his senses, he transformed into a sword to dodge the second spell that intercepted him. After landing, he returned to human form and said, "Drive. My vision has been controlled by the black cat's contractor. Let's start with him."

The ice cave carried Lin Jiade into the air with its staff. The dolphin shaped itself with flames, and seven rapiers flew into the sky, only to be blocked by the orange shield. He looked at Jasmine in annoyance, while Jasmine extended her claws that manipulated square pieces of paper and beckoned to him provocatively.

“Sister,” the dolphin whispered, “I don’t understand why Father is so lonely after losing you, so lonely that he had to use technology that is not allowed by the world to create me and my brother, Little Melon. We are just prototypes and test subjects. Through us, Father can create more and more of us…”

Even so, Father is lonely. I've seen him secretly weeping while holding photos of you as a child. Why... are you so fixated on the Red Dragon's lies, turning your own blood relatives against each other?

Jasmine said expressionlessly, "I don't care about that. If you want to kill my boyfriend, then I'll kill you first. As long as I don't admit it, then I have no family."

"???"

Although both Little Melon and the dolphin were artificially bred using artificial technology, resulting in a significantly shortened lifespan, Ragnar did not focus on education but instead collected evidence for later batches of artificial offspring, thus lacking common sense.

Even so, they were certain that Jasmine's words were not something a normal dragon would say. Little Melon immediately met her with a fist, saying, "Give me a boost to my physical abilities!"

While Jasmine held off the two white dragon offspring, Lin Jiade and the Ice Cave duo appeared in front of Iphigenia and the others. Before they even landed, they were attacked by the new helpers that the miniature snowmen had brought.

The ice cave formed a light shield to block the attack, and she and Lin Jiade landed safely. Iphigenia didn't offer any introductions, but said, "Not a good matchup, but... Howling Croucher, I'll create an opportunity for you."

She constructed another door, which appeared between her and Little Melon and the others. At the same time, the superhuman she manipulated released Lin Jiade's vision control and instead deprived Jasmine of her vision.

The whistling squatting person stepped across the door and came to Jasmine. Just like her code name, all her spells were accompanied by a whistling sound, and the way she cast spells was hard not to think of squatting in a toilet.

Her casting motions were ugly, but the blinded Jasmine reacted a beat too slow. The black mist passed through her shield, seeped into her scales, and took effect, freezing her in place.

After being immobilized, Jasmine regained her composure. By dragon standards, she was still a young girl, but she had over a year of combat experience and possessed a unique understanding of both ambushes and being ambushed.

Square pieces of paper gathered around Jasmine, quickly combining to form an opaque spherical barrier to buy time. With the dolphin's help, Little Melon broke through the shield with a punch, but the surge of electricity made him instinctively pull his hand back.

Jasmine had bought enough time. Lin Jiade, whose vision had been restored, entered the arena with a furious aura. His sword and shield shone with golden blessings. While fighting the miniature snowmen and Iphigenia, he moved closer to Jasmine.

Everyone thought that the Ice Cave should treat Jasmine the same way Lin Jiade did, but the moment the Ice Cave touched Jasmine, the wand quickly changed direction, and golden light rose from beneath the feet of the howling squatting man.

The player who had been crouching in the pit never expected that the Ice Cave wouldn't buff her teammates but would instead unleash a powerful attack, and even more unexpectedly, she was the target of focused fire. To escape the Ice Cave's spell, she quickly transformed into a cheetah and fled, passing through the portal she had come from to return to Iphigenia's side.

Watch out behind you!

Iphigenia's warning came a little too late. The person squatting in the pit turned around and saw that Lin Jiade, who was supposed to be at Little Melon's location, had disappeared. In his place was a sword flying towards him at lightning speed, its outline gleaming with golden light.

Chapter 81 Lying (Part 8) (Bonus Chapter)

The sword that Lin Jiade had conjured pierced through the only defenses of the squatting man, creating a hole in his body. However, the squatting man's vitality was exceptionally strong. He managed to turn around and cast his last immobilization spell on Lin Jiade.

Lin Jiade fell to the ground, where he was immobilized, but he had no weapon left. So the squatting man was pierced again, finally collapsing forward and dying.

Lin Jiade and the Ice Cave teamed up to kill one of the enemy members, but at the cost of one being temporarily immobilized and the other needing several tens of seconds to recover before being able to unleash another ultimate attack. Meanwhile, Jasmine's vision was also taken away by the enemy.

Lin Jiade must prioritize eliminating the squatting enemies. The three of them can use their mobility to fight off more enemies and even counter certain matchups. The squatting enemies, who have the ability to immobilize, will hinder their mobility on the battlefield.

While Lin Jiade and his team eliminated one of their own hidden dangers by quickly killing one of their own, they also ignited the enemy's fury. Although the artificial offspring bred by the Greeks were hybrids of humans and monsters, they possessed feelings similar to humans. The panting man was also the lover of the miniature snowman, which made the miniature snowman want to tear Lin Jiade to pieces.

The miniature yeti was enraged, but he still retained his rationality. Together, they attacked Jasmine, hindering the movements of the blinded little dragon, while Little Melon, with his domineering aura, punched the ice cave.

She could easily engage the Greek-bred monster offspring in the Ice Cave, but when she encountered the white dragon offspring, she immediately mounted her wand and fled into the sky. However, the dolphin intervened, its flame-shaped weapon blocking the Ice Cave's escape route.

The moment Ice Cave froze, Little Melon rushed over in a few steps, grabbed the end of the wand, and flung Ice Cave, wand and all. Ice Cave tumbled in the air, and Dolphin spread its arms in her direction, blooming one flame after another, which then transformed into swords, pointing at her from all directions.

Holy land magic was ineffective against these. The premonition of death suffocated the ice cave. At this moment, Lin Jiade's celestial weapon flew in as if controlled by her fingers, passing through the bow decoration on her belt, and carried her away from the domain of swords and blades. She was brought to a tree and then had no more strength left.

She fell into the ice cave along with her sword. She got up and saw that Lin Jiade had regained his mobility, but without a weapon, he was at a disadvantage against Xiao Xianggua, who was empowered by dolphin magic.

Jasmine wanted to help, but the black cat's contractor kept depriving her of her vision, to the point that even the miniature snowman, whose abilities were on cooldown, could easily outmaneuver Jasmine with the help of a dolphin.

Iphigenia would occasionally steal points from Lin Jiade, and although the attacks formed by the black mist would always be evaporated by the golden light on his shield, the holy land spell was also being consumed over time.

"The opportunity has come, Little Hole," Ice Hole thought to himself. "Although Lin Jiade treats you as a buff and a movement tool, and Jasmine treats you as a burden, they are now being entangled by the enemy as the main threat, and no one is paying attention to me."

Ice Cave had already planned it out. She would bring Lin Jiade's weapon into the arena, first defeat the male superhumans next to Black Cat to help Jasmine out of trouble, and then enter the arena with Jasmine.

Having made up her mind, Ice Cave mounted her wand, grabbed Lin Jiade's wand, and rushed out. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Kapok and Earth Peach locked in a fierce battle, and Earth Peach possessed the power of the dark side of the Holy Land. So, at the last possible distance, she gave Kapok a blessing.

The ground peach and the kapok tree separated, while the mimosa tree retreated back to Lin Jiade's house. The ice cave stared at the mimosa tree's pitiful violin for a second longer, and when it turned back, a black hand appeared in front of it.

Iphigenia opened another "door" in front of the ice cave. Her arm grew larger and reached into the doorway. Her hand emerged from the doorway and grabbed the guardian of the holy land, throwing her to the ground.

The ice cave was somewhat unexpected, but she was confident in her compatibility with the monsters, a fact proven by their previous encounters. Therefore, she decided to withstand a monster's attack herself in order to free Jasmine.

Ice Cave reached out towards the male superhuman, golden light gathering in her hand. Iphigenia stomped on her stomach, and Ice Cave screamed, ending her spellcasting.

Lin Jiade and Jasmine wanted to help, but were held back by their respective enemies. Lin Jiade couldn't understand why the guardians of the holy land, who were supposed to be compatible, were being beaten so badly by the monsters.

"Aren't you surprised that even with the holy land's magic protecting you, a monster like me could still touch you?"

The black cat grabbed the ice cave's hair, forcing her to stand up, and then punched her in the stomach: "Look who I am, you bitch!"

Her eyes were filled with tears. She tried to open them wide, but the tears blurred her vision. So the black cat gently wiped away her tears and let her image be seen in the ice cave.

"Teacher Yang... how could this be?" Ice Cave shouted in a panic. "You bastard, why did you transform into her?"

“It’s all for the sake of beating you up,” Iphigenia said, turning her head to Lin Jiade, who was eager to chop off her head. “If you don’t stop, I will devour your little teacher Yang’s life force.”

As for why I was able to defeat the Holy Land Guardian, it's simple: the longer I live, the more humans I devour, and the more my structure becomes similar to that of humans. I imagine there's a saying circulating in your area that monsters reach their peak power when they turn thirty in the human world.

Now, by replenishing Yang Xuemeng's life force, my current body is strong enough to deceive the Holy Land's magic and beat up the Holy Land's guardians. You bitch, you're trouble no matter where you are."

Iphigenia looked at the furious Lin Jiade: "If you come closer, I will kill Yang Xuemeng immediately, but if you don't come closer, I will kill this guardian of the holy land... How should I choose? Which of these two people is more important to you?"

"As expected, she must be the guardian of the holy land. Yang Xuemeng is just an ordinary person; even if we save her, it won't affect our battle situation at all."

“I have another option: kill you, and then there won’t be any choice between the two!” Lin Jiade replied.

Iphigenia gripped the ice cave's throat, tightening its grip. The ice cave flailed wildly, kicking the monster's thighs and scratching its arms and cheeks. Each blow caused real damage to the black cat, but the cat didn't even look at the ice cave, only at Lin Jiade.

"Even now that I look like Yang Xuemeng, would you still be willing to kill me?" she asked.

Lin Jiade found it strange; Iphigenia's words sounded provocative and provoke him no matter how he listened to them. Both emotions seemed to be calling him to kill her, as if she herself was also craving death.

“Of course, because you’re not Teacher Yang,” Lin Jiade said.

"So, you'll kill the monster that looks like Yang Xuemeng," Iphigenia chuckled. "Lying children have to swallow a thousand needles, you know."

Lin Jiade braced his left leg and gripped the hilt of his celestial weapon. His plan was to leap directly behind the monster and kill it as quickly as possible. The monster had said that if she died, Teacher Yang would also die, but now, he had no choice but to take the gamble.

Just as he was about to strike, a gunshot rang out not far away. Lin Jiade instinctively dodged and saw that the one who had been shot was Iphigenia's temporary contractor. The moment the bullet hit the superhuman's chest, teardrop and smiley face patterns appeared on it.

Lin Jiade turned around in surprise and saw Hehuan standing at the window. The outline of the revolver flashed in his eyes. He then looked at the superhuman who had been shot, and sure enough, the mark he had used on his harem partners appeared on the latter's chest.

"Senior Hehuan...why?"

He muttered something, then, as planned, leaped and landed behind Iphigenia, thrusting his sword towards her back. The sudden gunshot made Iphigenia's hand tremble. The ice cave, now able to catch its breath, immediately coordinated with Lin Jiade, causing golden flames to surge from beneath their feet, trapping Iphigenia in place.

Iphigenia held an important position, and seeing that the fate of the panting, squatting person was about to repeat itself, everyone came to her rescue. However, the bullet that Hehuan fired at the black cat's temporary contractor produced a fatal image—

The black cat's temporary contractor has been trained and brainwashed by the Greek organization, completely corrupted, and turned into a breathing spellcasting tool. However, the bullet fired by Hehuan was prepared by Dujuan to manipulate Lin Jiade. It harbors Dujuan's power as Cupid, but it itself is a violation of Cupid's rules.

Naturally, this ambiguous spell, which can be regarded as an oracle, has its priority set to the maximum among similar spells. The black cat's temporary contractor is still enslaved, but his master has changed from Iphigenia to Hehuan.

The dazzling light in Jasmine's eyes disappeared, and in its place, Little Melon was plunged into a white light. His steps faltered, and then Jasmine hooked his waist with her tail and threw him to the ground.

Lin Jiade stretched out his arm, the tip of his sword heading towards the black cat's back, but Iphigenia nimbly broke free from the ice cave's confinement and transformed into the black cat. Lin Jiade was convinced that Ragnar was the root of the evil, while Iphigenia played the second role. Moreover, she held Teacher Yang's life in her hands, so he couldn't let her go at this moment.

"Run, Lin Jiade!" Jasmine cheered her boyfriend on. "Go defeat the monster and end all of this!"

Jasmine said those things, but what she really wanted was to resolve the matter with Teacher Yang as soon as possible so that she could get rid of her. She had a feeling that Teacher Yang's feelings for her boyfriend were somewhat ambiguous, and that the other party was completely useless in her life, just an ordinary person.

However, in order to reduce Lin Jiade's dislike, she pretended to offer positive encouragement, and Lin Jiade indeed became excited. Perhaps he was also looking forward to his appearance as a hero.

As she thought this, her movements as she beckoned the little melon and the dolphin became fierce and ruthless. At the same time, her body underwent further changes, becoming increasingly ferocious, the kind that even ordinary furry lovers couldn't handle.

The sight of the ice cave was already terrifying, but what made her even more terrified was that the two handsome boys, Little Melon and Dolphin, suddenly transformed into beasts, their appearances becoming even more ferocious and violent. The three of them fought each other, the road groaning beneath their feet, and flames ignited every silent and dark corner, turning the night into the color of red lotus.

“You guys are the real monsters,” Ice Cave muttered. “Lin Jiade, how could you bring yourself to hurt your girlfriend when she looks like this?”

The miniature snowman also felt helpless. The two exchanged a glance and fled the battlefield they couldn't reach. Meanwhile, the miniature snowman, who had transformed into a cheetah, was stopped by the ice cave riding on a magic wand. Their battle had begun.

On the other side, Lin Jiade chased after Iphigenia, getting further and further away from Jasmine and the others. The small size of the black cat made his attempts unsuccessful several times. After three consecutive turns, he saw a scene that shocked him for a whole year.

The bell (Lin Jiade didn't know at this time that the other party was the ground peach) and the kapok fell to the ground. One of their bodies was shriveled up like a mummy, while the woman in the wedding dress looked at the other person and tried to extract energy from the body and devour it.

Lin Jiade has only one principle when it comes to monsters: strike hard. So he gathered his strength, pushed himself out, and after landing, stabbed at the monster's back. The monster heard the noise and turned around, causing the sword he was aiming at the heart to actually pass between the monster's two chests.

The monster was instantly severely injured. Lin Jiade didn't rush to finish it off. He first checked who was still alive. He breathed a sigh of relief when he found out it was Mu Mian, and then became tense again.

However, now was not the time to worry about Kapok's injuries. He turned to check on the monster's injuries. If the monster could be saved, he would try to interrogate it to test its moral character; if it couldn't be saved, he would end its life with a single sword strike.
