My wife, who's in a vegetative state, please stop eavesdropping on my thoughts.

He forcefully stabilized the energy at the critical point, allowing all the energy on the verge of exploding to collide, compress, and change within the closed tubular space inside his palm. He also conveniently injected a large amount of thunderous factors from the high sky through the wind field, causing this extraordinary kerosene to accumulate without erupting under extreme high temperatures.

Until a tiny, condensed flame point formed inside the arm's tubing.

Then, he completely released his restraint.

"BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The next second, a massive shockwave exploded directly from the center of the Vistula, and the extremely terrifying heat instantly engulfed the entire high-altitude area within a radius of hundreds of kilometers, even evaporating the clouds and mountains.

It was like a miniature sun, turning the surrounding hundreds of kilometers into daylight.

"Shh-"

A few seconds later, Weiss, who had escaped through the park's continuous teleportation, stood still again in the air some distance away.

His clothes were all burned, and his body was covered in burn marks. He didn't even have time to activate the Rainwater Mystery.

Although the rainwater mystery travels a farther range, it is definitely not as fast as the amusement park.

Soon, the killing physique began to take effect, and the burn marks on the body surface gradually faded at a visible speed.

But Weiss frowned slightly.

He was quite dissatisfied with the power of that attack.

"The ignition, combining all extraordinary power, has a kill radius that surpasses almost all bombs, but its power seems to be limited; its density is far from concentrated enough to penetrate a hero's defenses..."

"Furthermore, because I wasn't skilled enough, it was more like the barrel of a gun exploded than actually being fired."

"Oh, right—"

"If that's the case, wouldn't it be possible to create an even stronger destructive effect if we could combine it with some special forbidden items that have their own enhancements?"

It's not just a superficial understanding of the secrets of explosives.

The lightning power within the mysteries of the universe is also in dire need of a forbidden object to enhance.

It's almost outdated.

Unfortunately, he had already checked the Night Patrol Headquarters' store inventory, and none of the items available for public sale were numbered within 500.

Almost all of the highly numbered forbidden items already have owners.

Therefore, the World Book generally won't offer him the option of forbidden items as a reward anymore.

Unless you go and kill other well-known veteran powerhouses.

Just then, Weiss suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of a forbidden object.

eclipse......

One of the original ten monarchs, the Archer Palace of the Divine Court, and the Eclipse Bow of Princess Corona of the Sun.

This is a forbidden object that can automatically absorb heat from the surrounding environment and compress it into the shape of an arrow before launching it.

As a means of annihilation, Weiss naturally did not need this bow for ranged attacks.

But if I could get this bow, wouldn't it be able to replace the kerosene energy that keeps being consumed in my arm...?

In this way, he could practice the secrets of explosives indefinitely high in the clouds.

"If only we knew where the Divine Court was hiding..."

I overslept and can't open my eyes.

I couldn't sleep yesterday, so I took two melatonin pills. In the middle of the night, I thought I had sent a sick leave notice, but when I woke up just now, I realized I hadn't. I sent it in my dream.

This chapter is a belated posting of the leave request from the 7th. Updates today will be around 12 PM.

I'm sorry, family.

Chapter 127: The Second Stage of Mystic Liberation!! [9K]

—Night patrol of the royal city, Starlight Tavern.

The Snow Knight was alone in the deepest booth against the wall, where there were already more than twenty empty bottles on the table.

For the past three days, he has come here as soon as he gets off work, without complaining to anyone, just drinking one cup after another.

After all, the personal guards kept their mouths shut.

Even though his private chat had exploded, no information was leaked out; it only circulated within the guards' internal group chat.

Even Ryan, Sera, and Adele are confused about what has happened recently and why the atmosphere among the guards is so strange.

Therefore, the Snow Knight couldn't even find someone to confide in.

He could only sit here alone, swallowing down the words he couldn't say along with the wine.

Just then, a black-haired woman wearing a pinkish-purple tight-fitting latex suit sat down opposite him. Her huge black ponytail hung down from the side, and the purple highlights were dazzling in the dim light.

The snow knight looked up.

It was none other than Frost Princess Shinina, one of the original eight guards.

She reached for a clean glass, poured herself half a glass of wine, then crossed her legs and began to remark with a serious expression:

"I was previously in charge of guarding the Dragon's Nest area in the east. Although I heard about the Snow Palace Trials, I never had a chance to follow them closely. After resigning recently, I finally had time to catch up on it at a private screening room..."

"Well, objectively speaking, I thought that with Weiss's image and temperament, he would most likely be the type of woman who likes extravagant lifestyles, and the other three types shouldn't be too interested. I didn't expect that even a block of ice like Snow Queen would melt his heart. You really can't judge a book by its cover~~~"

At this point, Sineenat suddenly noticed that the Snow Knight's dim eyes were gradually turning unfriendly.

She tilted her head slightly, a little inexplicably, and her ponytail swayed gently in response.

"Feel sorry?"

"Although I don't know which sentence made you angry."

"But perhaps I should address him with more respect? After all, he's already your brother-in-law..."

"..."

"..."

A vein bulged on the Snow Knight's forehead as he gripped the cup tightly, suppressing the urge to smash it.

Then, with barely suppressed frustration, he retorted in an extremely impatient tone, "There's a full ten-year age gap between Weiss and my sister. Do you think he'd be serious? Ten years apart, how can that work?"

If the Snow Knight were to choose for himself, he wouldn't accept any woman who was even a day older than him.

However, upon hearing this, Sineenat wore a strange expression, her eyes filled with confusion:

"is it?"

"Although Xuehou's actions and speech are a bit old-fashioned, she still retains quite a charm, doesn't she? You really don't understand anything..."

"On the contrary, I think a childish genius like you should be properly educated by women older than you."

The Snow Knight inexplicably felt that he had been made a very subtle, lewd joke.

But he didn't have time to think about it in detail.

"Sineenat, even disregarding the age issue, that guy already has a wife. Even if he gets together with my sister, he can't make the relationship public, let alone develop feelings for her!"

"What are you talking about? How can two superhumans from natural systems possibly have deep feelings for each other in a relationship?"

"Besides, among the four factions, it seems we extravagant sorcerers are the most concerned about the status of the principal wife, and the most likely to engage in palace intrigue, right? You're supposed to be a killer, yet you're so troubled by this level of romantic relationship? Have you killed too few people...?"

The Snow Knight was speechless for a moment after hearing these words. He opened his mouth and closed it again, and finally just silently twirled the cup in his hand.

To be fair, the feelings of extraordinary beings in the natural system for their lovers are no less than those of an adult Hakimi. The sense of unfamiliarity between them is something that even fantasy novels cannot describe. Normal people rack their brains but cannot match their quick thinking.

Previously, two clerical staff members within the Night Patrol unit had gotten married due to family alliances.

And they sit facing each other at their workstations.

As a result, no one realized they were a married couple for three whole years.

The fact that they filled in each other's spouses' names on a form during a member list update was not made public.

However, he disagreed with the latter part of Sineenat's statement.

"I'm a night patrol officer, how can I kill people indiscriminately?"

"Yes, you're right..."

Sineenat squinted and nodded meaningfully.

If she hadn't worked with the Snow Knight for so long, she naturally wouldn't have believed that the guy in front of her was actually a serial killer within a killing system.

I heard that this guy captured a few Feathered Warriors while retreating from the border of the Black Realm.

They didn't take advantage of such a good opportunity to become stronger; they just knocked him out and handed him over to the logistics department.

All I can say is, he truly lives up to his title of Snow Knight...

"So, Weiss already spent the night at your place?"

"Boom!"

The Snow Knight slammed his wine glass heavily onto the table.

Clearly, he didn't want to continue discussing this gossip topic that was causing him so much annoyance.

If that guy Weiss really dares to stay overnight at his house...

He will definitely let everyone know.

What truly constitutes—

Running away from home!!!

"And what about you?"

"Your sudden resignation from Night Patrol couldn't possibly be because the Frost family is going to make a move against Adele, could it? If that's the case, wouldn't it be easier to make a move as her direct bodyguard?"

"No comment..."

When confronted with the Snow Knight's questioning, Sineena turned her head away in the same evasive manner.

He was just sitting there, resting his chin on his hand, staring blankly at the night view outside the side window.

Just as the atmosphere between the two became slightly silent.

A group of young girls dressed in Ice Cloud Academy uniforms walked through the booth aisle next to them.

The snow knight subconsciously turned his head to glance around, but his gaze suddenly stopped when it swept over the profile of one of the people.

Emily from the Lunette family was also in that group!

Meanwhile, two night patrol guards responsible for secretly protecting Emily's safety also quietly followed her into the tavern.

Before they could even choose a surveillance spot after entering, their eyes swept across the hall and almost simultaneously spotted the Snow Knight sitting in the corner drinking, and the woman with a black ponytail wearing a pinkish-purple latex suit across from him.

After exchanging glances, a visible hint of tension flashed across their faces. One of them quickly turned and left the tavern, presumably to report back on the situation.

A moment later, a private chat pop-up appeared in front of Snow Knight's eyes.

It was sent by Bingfei, who is in charge of the night patrol tonight.

[Ice Queen: Snow Knight, I just received intelligence that you and Frost Lord are sitting together in the Starry Night Tavern, and Emily Lunette is also there. What do you think? Did Frost Lord lie in wait there beforehand?]

[Snow Knight: I'm keeping an eye on things, it's alright...]

The Snow Knight replied with these words in his mind without making a sound.

It's not that he's so arrogant as to think he can single-handedly defend against frost on his own.

He simply felt that Frost Princess Nina wasn't the type of person who would harm a child.

Other colleagues mostly viewed Frost Lord with awe and fear, but because the older sister was too powerful and had a naturally indifferent nature, she couldn't understand her subordinates' feelings.

But the Snow Knight is different.

Because his mind has not yet been corrupted by the will to kill, he does not simply view and measure the world based on strength, so he actually sees things very clearly from the perspective of a pure bystander.

Even the Frost Princess, revered by everyone at the Night Patrol Headquarters, was nothing more than an ordinary, extravagant woman.

She would absolutely never lay a hand on Emily...

Meanwhile, the Ice Cloud Academy students at the next table were completely unaware of the two Night Patrolmen sitting in the corner. After each ordering a glass of "IQ Tax" juice, they started chatting away without any restraint.

They initially talked about the courses at the college and complained about the excessive amount of homework.

The Snow Knight's eavesdropping was quite interesting.
