Chapter 21.12 Xue Qing and Transfer
The blade was sheathed.
It remained unstained by blood and dust. What a good blade.
Buildings, utility poles, lampposts, cars – all four were severed.
Everything in the path of the slash.
Nothing could escape.
It felt excellent.
In this world without death, ‘slaughter’ still held its meaning. It was once linked to the termination of life, but in this world, it only severed objects. However, the original ‘cessation’ still functioned; it could still cut things.
I wonder if I can ‘sever the soul’?
No need to attempt it.
My body split in two, I could just lie here until the game ends.
My power is far greater than before, but the consumption is also higher. Besides stamina, it also consumes Destiny Power. I can’t maintain it for too long.
My slashes are almost at their limit. Each cut of this level…
With this kind of power, I won’t be weaker than Ji Lianbing.
Can I do it?
“Lal? You know my ability?”
In this world, she hasn’t fought me.
But I know her ability can manipulate molecules.
Just like me, she can cut anything.
However, the cut surface is very neat and flat. A treat for someone with OCD.”
An old man in a long coat landed, placing the kid he was carrying onto the ground.
The young man pointed at me, his face filled with terror, trembling, and pointing an index finger at me.
“The Only One! You… you are… one of them…”
He is human.
And I saw his slaughter.
Everyone looks at me.
But Juncheng didn’t…
SF Light Novel.
I won’t betray his trust.
“Ah, we parted ways. Tsk tsk. Ah, you kid better thank me. If it weren’t for me, you’d be with that mob right now.”
“Hahahaha. Don’t.”
The young man’s expression froze.
I… I’m an old man now, hahahaha!
“Well, well, well… that’s what you get for being stubborn…”
“…I have a familiar feeling.”
It’s strange, I should be meeting him for the first time.
He also spoke of my deeds hunting down killers.
“I had a feeling it was you from the start. The Calamity of Slaughter, one of the four great calamities. Hahaha!”
“You continue to struggle in the ‘spiral of slaughter’. The world is so… fun.”
“Who exactly are you…”
The old man continued to speak to the Ponytail Maid.
“But isn’t that person’s name Yan Yang? Hmm, Miss Yan Yang…
Your ability is the paradox ‘Maxwell’s Demon’, you’re skilled with swords, right?”
“…Who exactly are you?”
It also meant that there were more. With your all-knowing and all-powerful little…
I sheathed my kodachi again.
And struck a fighting stance.
This person is not simple.
I have no interest in that. I heard the broadcast earlier, it seems this place is…
“Oh my, this is quite… Are the games of today’s youth so fashionable?”
…It seems to be some kind of game. You need to collect…
“You don’t believe it! Just why are you here?!”
“Well, I just wanted to see you.”
It’s baffling.
What’s so interesting about me?
An old loli-loving pervert?
“But, I’m also interested in that… that you wouldn’t hand over to anyone else, even at the cost of your life.”
“I must respectfully refuse.”
“Hahaha, then I’d be very happy.”
“Earlier, Young Master Juncheng’s head seemed to move…”
Juncheng’s head?
How can it move in this state?
It’s unlikely to be a false impression.
Could it be Maxwell’s Demon…
Did it react?
“Then I can rest assured, old man. Besides, it’s so…
Meeting now isn’t a big deal. Let’s wait until
you’ve decided the winner.
…There’s no killing intent.
How strange…
Especially the young lady who summoned me here.
“It’s nice to meet you. Next time, I’ll have to be careful! It’s rare that I get out of jail, so of course I have to enjoy myself! I’m a bit disappointed, we have no intention of fighting. I straightened my collar and patted the dust off my legs,
then put my hat back on and waved goodbye.
“Well then, goodbye… little… hmm, little girl. Seeing you doing well…”
Strange, I can’t bring myself to feel any killing intent towards him.
If he wasn’t here to steal Juncheng’s… why not leave me alone!
“Eh?! Wait, wait! My abilities are similar to yours, but much more excellent than yours!”
“The machine is amazing!”
“Well, of course. If you’re talking about me, my grandson—oh, right.”
The old man, who hadn’t gone far, turned back and asked me calmly.
“…What do you plan to do? Do you still hate her?”
“The ghost that turned you into this has likely also been summoned here…”
Xue Qing fell into a vortex of slaughter, and this body could not grow.
Possessed me, let me…
Hate her forever.
If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t have met Juncheng.
Juncheng’s matter is more important.
“I’m no longer interested in him… But you’ve escaped her shadow, that’s very good.”
“Hahaha, yes. We wave goodbye and leave, very carefree.”
And I felt an affinity.
He said he sent me to this city, so perhaps he could…
There seems to be a commotion in the northern part of the city as well.
“Miss Xue Qing, I’ll head off first…”
“Hmm, I’m going to find Juncheng.”
Speaking of which, you don’t know, that cat-eared maid.
“A strong light erupted from the north of the city, coming from the direction the horse-eared maid indicated.”
I can’t see anything.
That light must have come from Xiao An.
She’s also come to this place.
Then Xun must be here too.
The maid is going south, and Xiao An is to the north.
I’ll check the north then.
The light weakened, but did not disappear.
It continues to illuminate the sky, making the entire city bright.
A city that never sleeps.
Suddenly, I want to see fireworks.
With Juncheng, holding hands, watching fireworks.
It would feel good.
“Help! Save the cat! Xiao Yu, I’m going to be killed!!”
I encountered them. So good!
Followed by a bunch of messy guys.
I stopped the cat-eared maid who was running past me.
“Don’t, slash!”
I drew my blade.
Demonization.
This time, it’s not strength that’s needed.
It’s speed.
“Draw blade, sever water…”
…appeared before my eyes.
This person is quite strong.
“Exploding Clothes Slash,” I’ve been practicing that for a long time too.
“This place really has all sorts of monsters…”
“You call yourself a sword demon with this?”
“Hey! What are you spacing out for! As a young girl, don’t ‘exit’ with these unworthy guys. It’s truly disappointing!”
“…Level difference is too much.”
“You’ve got some skill.”
“Only ‘some skill’? Really?”
My clothes are gone. Not cool.
I turned around and saw the cat-eared maid.
“My right hand, got it.”
