Chapter 196 - Kill
🕑 Added 2024-12-18 07:00:07 +0000 UTC"Boss Fefe. Why are they looking at us like that?" One mercenary asked.
"Heh, they are probably clueless and can't comprehend the situation they are in. You guys can pick whichever girl you like. I will take that small-eyed girl. She is my type. Fe fefefe!"
"What?" Sawi eyes widened, no longer small. "Leyvi, help!" She jumped onto Leyvi and hugged him tight.
How was it possible that the first time she went out of the city, she became the first girl targeted by these vile people? Sawi couldn't help but complain inwardly.
Father, you lied to me. The modest clothing didn't work. Ancestor Vulcan, I don't want to go out of the city anymore. I'm scared!
"Brat! How dare you touch the girl that I chose? I'll kill you myself!"
"Rain Bullet!"
Ten drops of water formed on the tip of each of his fingers, and quickly fired at Leyvi. To the late-stage Core Formation mercenary leader, this much was enough to kill Leyvi.
However, before the water bullets reached Leyvi, they stopped mid-air.
"What? Who is it?" Boss Fefe was alarmed.
"It was me." Senior Sister June walked forward. She stopped concealing her aura, causing the atmosphere nearby to feel heavy.
"A... A Soul Formation expert! Run!" The mercenary group leader turned around and fled for his life while cursing inwardly. Dammit! Why is a Soul Formation expert here? Fuck my life!
"Too late."
Ten water drops which were floating just now fired toward the fleeing boss. The water bullets shot this time were much faster than previously.
"Arghhhhh!"
Plop!
The late-stage Core Formation realm mercenary fell to the platform. Blood started flowing from the ten holes in his body, lined up from his head to his balls.
Seeing their dead boss, the rest of the mercenaries finally understood why they gave them pitiful looks.
They fell to their knees and begged for their lives. "Fairy Maiden! Spare us! We have no choice but to follow our boss's orders! We don't want to do this at all! Show mercy!"
They knew they couldn't run away and could only resort to this. Her oppressive aura made them unable to circulate their Qi properly.
They have been doing this for so many years. How did a Soul Formation expert suddenly come here? She should be on the high-level hunting grounds!
"Oh my...many people called me Fairy Maiden today. While I enjoy hearing this title, you bastards have completely smeared it. I hate hearing it from people like you. Just die!"
She raised her hand, quickly creating 29 Coral Swords hovering in a circle. She then lowered her hand, sending each coral sword to the mercenaries.
"NOOOOOO!"
"Save me!!"
"My father is.."
"My wife's boyfriend is..."
"Arghhhhh!"
They tried to run when they saw her creating the coral swords, but it was futile. She decapitated them all at the same time with a single-hand motion. Heads rolled on the coral platform, dyeing it red. Any spirit armor or life-saving treasure failed to defend against her attack. After all, the realm differences were too big.
After their death, the coral swords dissipated and June retracted her aura again, returning the atmosphere to normal.
"Ahhhh!"
The sheltered Sawi had never seen a gruesome scene like this, so she screamed due to shock. Leyvi could feel that her hug had become tighter, as if trying to become one with him. This was human armor, not the cool battle armor of his dream.
"Wow, wow! So much food! Thank you for this. This Fairy Maiden June is not that bad. I like her now. Time to eat!"
Leyvi's ears twitched as he heard the mystical voice again. He then saw thirty coral polyps come out of the small holes, enlarge themselves, and swallow the dead bodies. A few seconds later, they spat out the mercenaries' belongings that weren't considered food. Even the blood on the coral platform somehow disappeared.
"I left behind their things so you guys can take them. Hu hu~ Aren't I nice?"
Senior Sister June approached Leyvi and said with a smile, "Oh my, Leyvi. I saved your life. You owe me a favor. Can you follow me to my sect now?"
"Fairy Maiden June, when did I ever ask for help? I can handle them myself, so you didn't actually save my life. My women also can take care of themselves. At most, you only saved your junior sisters." Leyvi replied while Sawi was still hugging him like a koala. He refused to admit she saved them.
Senior Sister June seemed frustrated. "How can you deny like this? It's obvious that I saved you all! You were clearly outnumbered and weaker than them!"
"That's just your assumption. In any case, we don't owe you any favors. Instead, your junior sisters owe us some favors. We saved their lives previously." Leyvi said with a smile. He tried to look cool, but with Sawi hugging him like a koala, he looked funny instead.
"Hmph, fine! Since I killed them all, their belongings should be mine. You don't have any problem with that, right?" She asked.
"Not at all. They are all yours, Fairy Maiden June." Leyvi replied.
Lina, Rosa, and Terra were speechless. They had never seen their senior sister at a disadvantage like this. She looked so vexed.
Senior Sister June felt frustrated as she used her spiritual touch to collect all the space bags scattered on the platform. The space bags floated and quickly gathered around her. After she scanned them all, she immediately lost interest. There was nothing in there useful for her, so she gave them to her junior sisters.
Leyvi watched this with curiosity. He could sense that she didn't use any Qi to make the space bags levitate. Instead, it felt like a spiritual sense. Does that mean after spiritual pressure, spiritual sense can level up again?
"Fairy Maiden June, do you still want this gemstone? I can lend it to you," Leyvi asked.
"I don't want it anymore!" She crossed her arms and looked in a different direction.
Everyone was speechless. She looked like a sulking wife.
Anda smiled proudly. Only her husband could make a Soul Formation maiden act like this.
"Sawi, how long are you going to hug me like this? Are you trying to seduce me?" Leyvi turned his attention to Sawi. If she kept hugging him like this, he might get hard. Nala wasn't lying when she said Sawi had a bombshell body.
"Ahhhh!" Sawi realized the situation and let go of Leyvi immediately. She then ran behind Lilian to hide from embarrassment.
Afterward, the group moved deeper into the coral city where they started to encounter many marine demonic beasts. Since Senior Sister June decided to follow them, Leyvi requested her not to do anything during their training unless the situation became truly dire.
They met with a group of Demonic Moray Eels that attacked them with powerful electric shocks. Leyvi told the others to stay back because he wanted to take this chance to train his body.
He jumped into the water alone and the eels immediately targeted him. Apart from electric attacks, the eels also coiled around his body, trying to crush him, but it didn't work. Leyvi's body was too strong for any intermediate-level demonic beast to injure.
The ladies who didn't know much about Leyvi were shocked by the way Leyvi tempered his body.
After being bombarded with electric shocks for almost a day, his body had built some degree of resistance to electricity. Leyvi returned to the platform, healed himself, and let the Demonic Moray Eels go.
Apart from Demonic Moray Eels, they also met with Demonic Starfish that attacked with spiked arms. Their spikes secrete a powerful, paralyzing toxin that could paralyze unsuspecting prey.
After Valenia chopped the huge starfish in half, both halves regenerated themselves into two Demonic Starfish. The more she cut the starfish, the more starfish came into being. After a while, they finally found a way to stop it from regenerating endlessly.
They must destroy the starfish's central disc, where their vital organs are located. However, it wasn't that easy to destroy the central disc entirely because of its massive size. As long as it's not fully destroyed, it will quickly regenerate itself.
Valenia felt annoyed because her attacks couldn't harm the starfish and only made the Demonic Starfish multiply its number.
In the end, Leyvi used Big Bang Punches on them to destroy their central discs in a single attack, preventing them from regenerating.
In the next few days, they met Demonic Giant Clam, Demonic Lionfish, Demonic Box Jellyfish, Demonic Barracuda, and more. After they reached the other end of Reefworld Lagoon, they finished their hunting trip here and returned to Mercenary City.
"Bye bye Leyvi! Don't forget to come here again. I will miss you!" The mystical voice sounded sad in Leyvi's ears.
It had been over a week, but there was still no news from Paulina. However, they didn't mind because they wanted to visit more hunting grounds in the next month. If there was still no news from her, they would pay a visit to her again.
"Fairy Maiden June, are you still coming with us to other hunting grounds?" Leyvi asked her before they parted for a couple of days.
"For sure. Why? Am I not allowed?"
"Hahaha! I didn't say that. You are welcome to join us. The more the merrier!" Leyvi actually appreciated having her around. If things got really dangerous, she could step in and help them.
"Here, take this." Leyvi tossed the blue gemstone to her.
"You can return it to me after you're done with it."
