#223 - All fucking gone!
“Big sister, you used to say you hated clingy men, but now you're clinging to me. Don't you think that's a bit much?”
“I can't help it. That's just how women are.”
The alluring Gut Hunter laughed, speaking of women's unique irrationality.
Zun Zun was also surprised that she appeared here. After all, under normal circumstances, she should have already logged off and would only reappear at the Sanctuary.
Moreover, their handover should have ended at the loot warehouse. It couldn't really be that she was unhappy and came for revenge, right?
“Big sister, could it be that you've fallen for me?”
“If thinking that makes you happy.”
Elsa said very gently and considerately.
That makes sense.
Zun Zun is very good-looking, and the probability of being struck by love at first sight is high, but that definitely doesn't include the Gut Hunter, who has a problem with her brain and wants to tear open people's chests.
The charming Elsa spoke icy words from her 37-degree mouth.
“I'm just here for revenge.”
I believe you, you crazy woman, you're very bad.
Having been defeated by Zun Zun, wanting to get back at him is definitely reasonable to those who don't know the situation, but considering that the other party is currently Roswaal's henchman, and they haven't even left the Margrave's mansion yet, no ghost would believe that there's no conspiracy.
But would Roswaal do such a thing?
You need to know that even without Zun Zun and Flamu, Wilhelm alone would be enough for Elsa to handle. At least with him there, the Gut Hunter would have no way to win, even with the Beast Tamer Meili.
He wouldn't send her to die, would he?
Because it's written in H の Book (Youth Edition) to let Elsa die here, so he made her do this reckless thing?
Very likely.
Then, in order not to follow Roswaal's wishes, deliberately let Elsa run away... Absolutely impossible!
The Crimson Demons always retaliate!
Since the other party came with the intention of killing him, letting her run away would be against his nature. Just because he doesn’t show his power, doesn't mean he’s a pushover!?
Who cares if it has anything to do with the prophecy.
Wipe them all out!
After carefully examining Elsa, Ferris finally confirmed, “Looking at your attire, you should be the infamous Gut Hunter of the kingdom, right? Reinhard has issued an arrest warrant in the royal capital, but the entire knight order has no information about this. However, there's no news of the Gut Hunter leaving the royal capital... It seems that someone is acting as your inside man?”
It must be said, his brain is really quick.
Although he's a pervert who likes to wear women's clothes to seduce men, Ferris quickly realized that there are nobles secretly assisting the Gut Hunter, and coupled with the fact that this is the Mezzas Territory, the meaning is already self-evident.
“This is really a headache, Roswaal.”
Ferris spread his hands helplessly.
He wasn't afraid or nervous. After all, he's someone who became friends with Julius, the best knight, and Reinhard, the knight of knights. He's seen too many big scenes.
...Zun Zun thought so.
Suddenly, he heard Ferris ask, “Big sister, are you here to seek revenge on him? Then can you let me and Grandpa Wilhelm leave? I promised Lady Crusch that I would be back before evening, so I need to hurry. Also, I won't pursue the dragon carriage accident.”
“Hey, wait, are you planning to abandon me like this?”
Zun Zun held his thin shoulder.
But he found that Ferris said as a matter of course, “Isn't that how it should be? Whoever started the trouble should be responsible for it. On the contrary, it was Zun Zun who caused the trouble, implicating little Ferris. Don't you think that's a bit too much?”
What he said makes so much sense that I'm speechless.
Thinking about it carefully, that's really the case. If Elsa is seeking revenge, then she should agree to Ferris's request, but—
“Demi-human... it's a demi-human... Wonderful, I like the intestines of demi-humans.”
The Gut Hunter licked her lips, staring straight at the cat-eared boy's chest and abdomen.
“Oops.”
Zun Zun covered his forehead with a troubled expression and said, “Sorry, Ferris, it seems I accidentally implicated you.”
It was clearly a word of apology, but the gloating tone couldn't be hidden.
“Before you say that, can you lower the corners of your upturned mouth?” Ferris rolled his eyes, then looked at the Gut Hunter in front and said in a delicate voice, “I didn't expect little Ferris to be targeted too. Celebrities really have it tough. Someone like you deserves to be punished.”
She said it playfully, but her tone was quite cold.
Just because Elsa stepped on a landmine.
Because of the demi-human blood flowing in Ferris's ancestors' veins, he was born with a pair of cat ears. This caused his parents to abuse him, suspecting that the Argyll family had mixed in the filthy blood of demi-humans.
In order to hide this scandal, he was imprisoned in the basement of the Argyll family, surviving with the bare minimum of care, until Crusch rescued him later.
In short, Ferris had a very miserable childhood.
He doesn't reject or hate his demi-human blood, but demi-humans are not welcomed in the kingdom. Even after joining Crusch's camp, he suffered severe exclusion from other knights because of his demi-human blood.
“Grandpa Wilhelm.”
“It seems that the other party doesn't intend to let us leave.”
Wilhelm, at some point, held a knight's rapier, standing in front of Ferris in the posture of a battle-hardened swordsman, while Grandpa Grimm and Flamu also stood in front of Zun Zun.
The Gut Hunter licked her lips at the sight.
“Lord Zun Zun...”
“No need.”
He rejected Flamu's request.
If he used the ability to communicate now, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Reinhard would appear here in five minutes, and in his anger, he might kill the Gut Hunter with one move.
However, with Wilhelm present, he had to consider more factors.
Besides, it's not like he can't beat the Gut Hunter.
Wilhelm said considerately, “Although this old man's strength is not outstanding, I can barely handle the Gut Hunter. If you're not confident, you might as well leave her to me.”
《Strength is not outstanding》
《Barely can》
Listen, is that human language?
“Thank you, Grandpa Wilhelm... Is it okay to call you that?” After seeing him nod, Zun Zun said, “Thank you for your kindness, Grandpa Wilhelm, but the other party came to seek revenge on me after all. Wouldn't it be rude not to respond?”
“I see, this old man didn't consider it thoroughly. Then this old man will deal with this side.”
Wilhelm looked around.
At some point, a large number of monsters gathered here. The monsters in the forest stared at their prey with scarlet pupils, and the suppressed roars seemed to have long been unable to restrain their bestiality.
The Beast Tamer Meili.
She possesses a blessing that allows her to control hornless monsters. Under normal circumstances, hornless monsters would be hunted by horned monsters, but her blessing can replace the monsters' horns.
In addition, this blessing cannot control monsters that are too powerful, nor can it control more than a hundred monsters.
...It should have been like this.
But the pairs of eyes around the forest, roughly counted, have already exceeded a hundred. It's hard not to suspect that Meili has controlled all the monsters in the forest.
It's been strengthened by more than just a little bit.
Perhaps this side is more difficult.
At the same time, it also confirms the fact that someone is secretly playing tricks—Roswaal is assisting them.
“What on earth is Roswaal thinking?”
Ferris muttered in confusion.
Probably, he also doesn't understand Rozwaal's stupid actions of assisting assassins to deal with the Crusch Camp, but for a guy who's already crazy and only acts according to H's Book (Youth Edition), he's just an incurable clown.
"I say, have you guys finished discussing things? Keeping a lady waiting isn't a gentlemanly thing to do."
"...I've never seen a lady who enjoys tearing open people's chests and abdomens."
Zunzun retorted with venomous words to Elsa's extremely resentful words.
"Then let's go over there, it seems a bit cramped here."
"Hehe, sure."
The two walked towards another place.
Fram took a worried step forward, but was held back by her grandfather, Old Man Gramps. Wilhelm, with his back to her, said, "Worrying about the master you serve is right, but more than anything else, what a servant should do is not cause trouble for them. Don't worry, this old man believes that master can achieve victory."
"...I understand."
The latest novels are available first at 69shuba.com!
Fram nodded seriously and sent Zunzun her most heartfelt blessings.
Arriving at the side.
The terrain here is very favorable to Elsa. As an assassin, she is more adept at using terrain to fight enemies, such as alleys, buildings, or forests.
However, Zunzun also has his advantages.
A bolt of lightning slowly shot out from his hand.
"Big sister, I noticed during the last battle that you don't seem to be very good at dealing with magic?"
"...Hehe, that's right."
She generously admitted it.
If expressed in numerical values, Elsa the Bowel Hunter probably has her Strength, Speed, Stamina, and Recovery all maxed out, while Magic Power and Magic Resistance are at the lowest level. In other words, Zunzun, who is good at using magic, is the Bowel Hunter's nemesis.
"Could it be that big sister likes challenging tasks?"
"You could say that."
The moment she finished speaking, the lightning in Zunzun's right hand shot out, heading straight for the unprepared Elsa.
There's no intention of playing fair at this time.
It would be great if he could succeed in this sneak attack, but Elsa, just like before, raised her coat, and lightning spread throughout her body.
"To suddenly attack like that, how excessive~"
Elsa's vigorous voice came from behind the coat.
Clearly, she had somehow obtained another coat woven with defensive magic... And as far as Zunzun knew, only someone whose family crest was an eagle could make a coat with the same effect as Emilia's.
The coat was gently dropped.
Elsa's curvaceous body was still wrapped in a cool and convenient tight-fitting suit, but her charming appearance did not attract Zunzun's attention. Instead, it was the two curved blades she held, which contained more magic power than she herself possessed.
The white one was crystal clear like a precious jade, looking more like an ornament than a weapon;
The black one was as black as ink, entwined with an uncomfortable aura, and the blade was an abnormally serrated shape.
Two decent magical tools.
The Bowel Hunter gently stuck out her fragrant tongue and licked the white curved blade, her body trembled slightly, and her cheeks immediately became incomparably rosy. Staring at Zunzun's eyes, which were emitting a scarlet glow due to high emotions, a clear trace of infatuation flashed in her eyes.
To call this battle a deathmatch would be too casual.
Zunzun unleashed the power of a mage turret, continuously releasing intense lightning magic towards the Bowel Hunter.
When they were in the loot vault, the Bowel Hunter relied on her superhumanly agile body to dodge all of them. Unlike ice magic, lightning magic, which has no fixed entity, is even more troublesome for her.
Originally, Zunzun thought it would turn into a shooting game like before, but he didn't expect the Bowel Hunter to not even try to avoid it.
She waved the black and white blades in her hands and shattered Zunzun's lightning in an instant.
"Hmm? Anti-magic attribute?"
Zunzun frowned slightly.
The anti-magic attribute is also clearly recorded in the magic tools of the Crimson Demon Clan, and it even describes how to make it. The most famous one is the Magician Killer, which has been stored in the underground hangar since it was made.
Retracting the previous statement.
The Bowel Hunter is not reckless. She is obviously prepared.
Perhaps it was because she was using this weapon for the first time, so she was cautiously circling around. But after confirming the weapon's effect, she stepped with light and erratic steps, attacking Zunzun up and down.
What Zunzun is worst at is a moving target, but currently, there is no way to stop the Bowel Hunter from getting close except for this method. She easily broke through the defense line, only half a meter away.
The fragrant breeze that was mixed was a bit sweet.
Then the Bowel Hunter raised the serrated curved blade as black as ink in her hand and slid it towards Zunzun's chest and abdomen at an insidious angle. The next second, he was about to be disemboweled and die on the spot!
...Or something.
Zunzun suddenly accelerated the movements that seemed to be several beats slower, pressing down his hand to hold the Bowel Hunter's wrist.
He is not a physically weak Archmage.
"Big sister, always aiming for my intestines will instead reveal your path. Being fixated on one thing is not the mark of a qualified assassin."
"But this is also my interest, or rather, my value in life. I am the Bowel Hunter, and tearing open abdomens is my principle."
She insists on her beliefs.
While she was talking, Zunzun's peripheral vision noticed the white jade curved blade attacking from the left. He stretched out his other hand to block the attack, while simultaneously kicking his leg, trying to knock the Bowel Hunter's weapon away.
The enemy has a weapon that restrains him.
As long as he restricts this, he will be the one to win.
The Bowel Hunter obviously understood this as well. With her rich combat experience, she released her grip a step ahead of time, throwing the serrated curved blade as black as ink into the sky, while simultaneously kicking her slender and plump thigh as well.
The two's legs collided with each other.
Under the drive of the mutual force, they should have distanced themselves, but Zunzun took the lead in twisting his waist and launching a chase. The Bowel Hunter also made the same movement, trying to dodge.
When they were in the loot vault, Zunzun knew how flexible her body was, like a living spider.
But although she dodged, her black braid did not have time to dodge and was grabbed. Zunzun, shaking her braid, learned from a certain green giant, treating the Bowel Hunter as a rag and desperately slamming her back and forth. The helpless Elsa was frantically ravaged like this.
It would be great if she could be smashed into pieces like this, but after only a dozen slams, the Bowel Hunter seemed to have adapted, adjusting her body and crossing her hands holding the two curved blades to chop.
Zunzun released his hand at the moment when his wrist was about to be cut off. He avoided being wrist-cut, but Elsa's hair suffered. A large part of her long braid was cut off.
The Bowel Hunter would never give up the hard-won opportunity. She seized the gap to organize a counterattack in this mere instant, waving the curved blade in her hand with her intuition.
Zunzun seemed to have a divine inspiration, his legs softened, and he rolled away from the range of slaughter.
His limbs propped up on the ground as he looked at his arm.
There was a small cut there.
At the moment when his skin was just cut open, he only felt his stamina drop a lot, and an unprovoked feeling of weakness floated to his heart.
The first round of the confrontation seems to have ended with Zunzun's slight disadvantage.
