The Players and the Protagonist Want to Kill Me – Chapter 345

Chapter 2: New Century (Epilogue)

“That’s quite something!”

“The Blood Moon’s power is the core of our Demon City!”

Pinock was very satisfied with the mysterious enemy’s sudden respectful attitude. He was a man who loved to show off, and under the influence of alcohol, his mouth itched even more to brag.

“This Blood Moon was created by our Lord Balda, who killed a Legendary Doom Eye. What you see as the Blood Moon is actually the eyeball of the Legendary Doom Eye.”

“Hiss—!”

Xi Wei gasped, his eyes filled with shock.

“A Legendary Doom Eye, terrifying indeed!”

“Keke… Afraid now, aren’t you? This Legendary Doom Eye’s blood light provides amplification to those of us who have drunk its blood.”

“The weaker you are, the greater the amplification. The stronger you are, the smaller the amplification.”

“A normal person who drinks the Doom Eye’s blood can instantly possess the combat power of a Great Knight due to the Doom Eye’s power.”

“A normal person can instantly become a Great Knight? Hiss! It’s truly terrifying!”

Xi Wei exclaimed repeatedly, putting on a show of being utterly astonished.

Pinock became even more pleased with Xi Wei’s reaction. His gaze held a hint of disdain, and his tone, fueled by alcohol, became considerably more arrogant.

“So, you are no match for those three Lords. Kneel and beg for mercy now!”

“Oh, and hand over your two female companions to me. I’ll allow you to pledge your loyalty to me and become my subordinate!”

Xi Wei gave Pinock a peculiar glance. If only he had eaten some peanuts with his drinks, he wouldn’t have said something so suicidal. However, since Pinock was going to die anyway, Xi Wei decided to play along, asking obsequiously:

“I beg your pardon, Lord. I still have one thing I don’t understand. This Blood Moon is so powerful, how do you normally power it? It can’t be inexhaustible, can it?”

“Look at your pathetic self!” Pinock snorted, leaning against the wall, his nostrils flaring. Templar Knights had incredible resilience, and he could barely feel any pain now.

“This Blood Moon is powered by divine artifacts and high-level Magic Cores. You probably don’t even know what divine artifacts are, do you?”

“Heh, country bumpkin!”

“Our Balda Holy See procures various divine artifacts and high-level Magic Cores every month.”

“Divine artifacts are the most effective. One divine artifact can essentially sustain the Blood Moon for three months.”

“Five hundred meters beneath this city is the core of the Blood Moon. It’s heavily guarded by soldiers, each as strong as me.”

Xi Wei’s lips twitched slightly. He suddenly felt a bit sorry for Pinock. He really wanted to say to Pinock, “Thank you, because of you, I know everything.”

“Remember, in your next life, drink less of that liquor that can penetrate Qi…”

“Although that liquor is potent and allows professionals to experience the joy of intoxication…”

“But drinking can lead to mistakes…” Xi Wei sighed.

“What? What do you mean?!” Pinock mumbled, confused. He looked up and saw the mysterious man in front of him pick up the long sword he had placed aside. He heard a chillingly cold voice:

“I mean I’m sending you on your way.”

…

“Darling, you’re so amazing! You managed to get all that information!” Connie fluttered her wings, her two soft little hands affectionately wrapping around Xi Wei’s neck. With all the enemies around dead, she no longer needed to suppress her true nature. She hugged Xi Wei’s head, burying his face in her embrace.

“It wasn’t me who was amazing, it was him who was foolish.” Xi Wei took a deep breath, taking advantage of the situation before coldly pushing Connie away.

“Hmph! Darling, that’s not how you play! How can you take advantage and not be responsible?”

“Do you not want fresh Dragon Milk anymore?”

Dragon Milk? Xi Wei almost choked. He couldn’t let this little perverted dragon spout nonsense anymore. Didn’t he see Gabriel looking at him as if he were a super pervert? If this continued, that look would turn into one of disgust, as if he were a maggot!

“Connie, I have an important mission for you now!” Xi Wei suddenly pinched Connie’s soft cheek, pulling it gently to the sides, distorting her pretty face into a strange shape.

“Ooh!” Seeing Xi Wei’s seriousness, Connie also became serious unconsciously. For the first time, a solemn expression appeared on her normally cute and adorable face.

“Here’s the thing, we need to destroy the core of the Demon City, and then go to the core area to snatch divine artifacts. Can you help me?”

“Yes!” Connie replied with full vigor.

“As long as Darling asks, whether it’s climbing mountains of knives, descending into seas of fire, upstairs, downstairs, in the kitchen, in the living room, in the study, wearing white stockings, wearing black stockings, wearing an apron…”

“Stop! Stop! Stop!” The scene was getting out of hand, and Xi Wei almost broke down. He quickly pulled Connie’s increasingly wayward thoughts back.

“I don’t have that many requests. Don’t you have a detection ability?”

“Help me detect where the Blood Moon core is, five hundred meters underground.”

“Ooh!” Connie nodded seriously, but then she blushed and glanced at Xi Wei, biting her slender finger and murmuring shyly, “Darling, please consider it. Connie can really do it~”

“Consider what! Get to work!” Xi Wei flicked his finger, producing a sharp “snap” on Connie’s forehead. The little perverted loli frowned pitifully. She obediently activated the Breath Cipher’s Dragon Speech. She hadn’t deliberately expanded the range of the Breath Cipher before, as this kind of Dragon Speech consumed a lot of mental energy. Now, with the expanded detection range, Connie felt considerably more pressure. Even she, as cute as she was, had a bead of sweat forming on her smooth forehead.

“Darling, I’ve found the location of the Blood Moon core~ But Connie is so tired now. I need kisses, hugs, and to be lifted high to recover~” Connie cooed, feigning exhaustion. She even controlled her blood circulation, making her pretty face pale, her usually rosy lips suddenly devoid of color. She looked quite convincing. If Xi Wei couldn’t feel the little dragon’s thoughts, and if he couldn’t see the glowing green “Energetic” status on Connie’s status bar, he might have been fooled by this little perverted dragon. However, the little dragon’s request wasn’t unreasonable. So, Xi Wei picked Connie up, gave her a kiss on her soft, plump cheek, and then lifted her high, helping her “recover her strength.”

“Alright, are you good now? Where is that Blood Moon core?”

“Hehe~ It’s right beneath our feet, directly below~ Darling wants to go?”

“Yes, do you know the route?” Xi Wei looked surprised. When had Connie developed skills similar to Xin Kui’s?

“Then Connie will take Darling there now!” With that, Connie flapped her wings and flew out of Xi Wei’s embrace. She took a deep breath, her azure blue eyes flickering, turning into golden vertical pupils. Immediately, scorching and icy energies began to concentrate in her mouth. The two distinctly different energies intertwined, becoming increasingly violent but gradually merging under Connie’s control. Connie’s mouth opened wider and wider, gradually transforming into a half-dragon appearance, and the light in her mouth grew brighter and brighter.

“Boom—!” A breath of dragon’s breath, a mixture of ice and heat, erupted towards the ground! The entire inner city of the Demon City trembled, and the terrifying shockwave crushed everything around into ruins.
