Chapter 2: New Century (Epilogue)
Chapter 136: Will Definitely What?
Those with strength lower than Connie would simply sleep and never wake. This meant all existences below the Sky Knight rank, and even Pinock himself, would not awaken.
However, this did not account for the amplifying effect of the Blood Moon.
The city guard they encountered earlier had been amplified by the Blood Moon. It was impossible to guarantee that Pinock and his subordinates didn’t possess this ability.
It was still necessary to be cautious.
“Let’s just kill them all.”
A sharp glint flashed in Xi Wei’s eyes, and he immediately finalized his new infiltration plan.
“Connie, I remember you have a Dragon Speech called Breath Cipher, which can detect surrounding lifeforms, right?”
“Yes~ Darling is so smart~”
Connie leaned forward and planted a kiss on Xi Wei’s face. Her charming and clingy demeanor was even more alluring than a Fey.
“Alright, then help me find all the patrolling guards around us. We’ll kill our way in bit by bit under the cover of night.”
Xi Wei pinched Connie’s face expressionlessly, preventing the ‘Yen Lolita’ from leaving any more water stains on his face.
“Darling~ I can help, but Connie wants a deep kiss~”
Connie realized she could be helpful to Xi Wei and immediately started to haggle, setting conditions. However, her tone was filled with playful begging, and her big eyes blinked so that it was impossible to dislike her.
“Emmmm…”
Xi Wei fell silent for a moment, looking at Connie’s expectant face, and decided to reward her a little. He leaned down and gave a light “smooch” on Connie’s soft, tender pretty face.
“Alright, let’s get down to business!”
“Darling! You’re so perfunctory~ Hmph! I wanted a deep kiss, not a kiss like that!”
Connie refused, wriggling in Xi Wei’s arms and acting spoiled.
“What constitutes a deep kiss?”
Xi Wei patiently engaged with the ‘Yen Lolita’.
“A deep kiss, is… is…”
As Connie spoke, she shyly raised her slightly flushed pretty face. She gently parted her tender small mouth, allowing Xi Wei to clearly see her pearly white teeth and her moist little tongue.
…
The kissing was over. Connie’s expression was one of utter satisfaction and smugness, like a customer who got their money’s worth. But she worked efficiently, combining the map provided by Xin Kui, and transmitted the locations of all enemies in her mind to Xi Wei’s consciousness via their mental link.
The familiar feeling returned. Looking at the 3D map in his mind, Xi Wei momentarily couldn’t tell if he was in another world or a game. For his convenience, Connie had even thoughtfully marked the optimal attack route.
“Connie, do you play top lane?”
Xi Wei suddenly lowered his head and asked the little ‘Yen Dragon’ clinging to him.
“Huh? Top lane? What kind of top lane?”
Connie licked her lips, still savoring the lingering kiss. Her dazed eyes were filled with confusion, but then they brightened. “Could it be… could it be a special kind of delicacy?”
“What’s it like? Is it delicious?”
Xi Wei’s lips twitched speechlessly at her words. He was now relieved and certain. This little ‘Yen Dragon’ was definitely native. No one had possessed her. The “game map” full of red dots transmitted into his mind was just a coincidence.
Seeing that Gabriel, who had been left aside for a long time, was on the verge of exploding, Xi Wei quickly adopted a serious attitude. The two of them, along with the dragon, began to move swiftly through the territory.
A faint scent of blood permeated the air. The knights and warriors under Pinock would never have imagined that they had only fallen asleep and would never wake up again.
Half an hour later, Xi Wei, Connie, and Gabriel arrived at Pinock’s room.
“…Divine Envoy, you’re becoming more and more majestic…”
“And this matter, you absolutely cannot let those brats under me know about it…”
From inside the room, intermittent murmurs could be heard. It was likely Pinock talking in his sleep. After all, there was no other aura in the entire room. Pinock was now a lone commander. Xi Wei no longer needed to hold back nervously.
With a loud “boom,” he kicked the iron door inwards. The sharp door panel spun through the air, emitting a piercing, ear-splitting sound. Even if Pinock was having the most wonderful dream, he had to wake up. A gust of wind hit him, and the surprisingly responsive Pinock immediately opened his eyes, slashing back with his hand and smashing the incoming door panel into two halves. Crimson energy surged through his body the moment he awoke. His strength instantly surged to the peak of the Sky Knight rank, just one step away from the aura of the Champion rank. Just as Xi Wei had predicted, Pinock was also one of the special individuals amplified by the Blood Moon.
“Who is it!”
Pinock roared. He was bare-chested, revealing his well-defined muscles. He had just woken up, and his unkempt hair flowed wildly, looking imposing! “Intruders, you will surely pay the price for your foolishness and recklessness!”
“I am the leader of the Wailing Merchant Guild in the Inner City of Demon City. Prepare to wail!”
Pinock twisted his body and retrieved his shield and long sword from under the bed. Sleeping with his weapons beside him had saved his life countless times. Looking at the figures outside the door, it seemed to be a man, a woman, and a child—a very strange combination. However, the fact that they could reach his door without alerting his subordinates clearly indicated these three possessed considerable skill.
But that was all! Stealth tactics that operated in the shadows could not stir up any waves in the face of absolute power. Under the amplification of the Blood Moon, he, Pinock, was a being close to the Champion Knight rank! How many Champion rank existences were there in a single country? Not to mention he was a Templar Knight.
“When I send you to hell, remember to mention my name to those demons!”
“Perhaps you’ll suffer a little less!”
Pinock advanced slowly, gripping his long sword and shield. Crimson Qi emanated from him, filling his sleeping pants and chest hair. With every step he took, the stone tiles on the floor of the room shattered!
“Darling… this person talks way too much…”
“I think so too.”
It had been a long time since Xi Wei had encountered an enemy who talked so much. He almost found it nostalgic. Who was the last one again? It seemed to be the Lord of Black River Territory, who was backstabbed by Alence. Xi Wei had even forgotten his name.
“Too much talking? Keke!”
Pinock sneered. “Little girl, I’ll let you know later how powerful someone who talks too much is… By then, don’t come crying to me! Because, you will definitely…”
Pinock’s mouth shut. This was because a figure had instantly appeared before him, moving too fast for him to track. Intense pain shot through his mouth. With a crunch, his two rows of teeth collided, shattering into a mixture of blood and bone fragments. His entire upper and lower jaw were now pressed tightly together.
“Will definitely what?”
Xi Wei gripped Pinock’s face, lifting his body bit by bit. His gaze was cold, his voice chilling like scraping bone.
