Chapter 16 The Trial from Captain Dragonfly! (Part 2)
...
"Glorious evolution?"
Higashinohara repeated something in his mouth. While attracting attention, his mind entered the attribute panel of his [Guilty Manual] and took a look at the attributes he had trained in the past two days.
[Ability: Shadow Instant, Nine Eyes and Six Paths]
[Character title: Follower of Justice (sin value x10, lasting 30 minutes)]
[Status: Human body limiter (released)]
Attribute points: 0
Source point: 0
[Current mission: Capture Germaine Hounsou (doctor) of the Sky Fox Tribe who tortures and kills humans, sells human heads, and conducts human T experiments. If the capture is successful, the crime value can be converted into attribute points and a random prisoner ability reward will be obtained]
[Task temporary free attribute points: 50 (duration 30 minutes, temporary attribute points cleared by the host after use, hurry up, justice cannot be delayed)]
After these two days of training, Higashinohara's strength, agility, and physique have improved significantly in addition to his perception and will.
Unfortunately, facing the man in front of him who was releasing a sense of terror and oppression all the time, Higashinohara didn't have the slightest chance of winning.
In fact, in front of a fifth-level superpower, a second-level ability user is no different from an ordinary person waiting to be slaughtered.
There was nothing he could do - his eyes fell on the task at the bottom of the attribute points.
Speaking of which, Higashinohara didn't see the man in white robe nicknamed "Doctor" when he arrived at the exhibition hall on the second underground floor. Originally, he wanted to wait for that man to show up, but now that he can't get past the current level, I'm afraid everything is empty talk.
.
[Are you sure to add 50 agility points now?]
【confirm】
Although Higashinohara has always been cautious, he is not an indecisive person and decisively added all 50 attribute points to agility.
[Agility: +50↑—72.6]
With the addition of the [Shadow Instant] ability, Higashinohara originally had 22.6 agility in the second and second stages, but now it has increased to 72.6?
It sounds like it's just a numerical change, but it's not actually a numerical change.
The next moment, he immediately felt this drastic change that was not considered "gentle".
Higashinohara only felt that his body became extremely hot at this moment, as if what was flowing in his blood vessels was not blood, but burning and rushing violent energy, flowing from his heart to his whole body in the blink of an eye.
Across the dim corridor, the cigarette butt in Dick's mouth flickered, and each flash of the fire seemed to be pressed into slow motion and stretched to more than ten seconds.
He didn't know whether the current agility attribute of 72.6 could be equal to the absolute ability of the seventh level and above, which had restricted countless sixth-level superpowers to look up to them all their lives, but the clear feeling of the physical changes in his mind told him:
At least it should be enough for now.
...
"Hey...are you...really...thinking...about...
?" From the opposite side, Dick's playful and lazy voice came into his ears.
It's not that the other party deliberately lengthened his tone to cause trouble.
The reason why it fell so slowly into Higashinohara's ears was that the efficiency of his thinking and observation changed drastically at this moment, so much so that he could even see the pieces of withered yellow tobacco on the end of the cigarette in the other person's hand in the orange flames.
Like a chrysanthemum blooming slowly.
The lingering green smoke comes in threads, wisps, rolls, brisk, heavy, thick gray, light blue, pale...
Gradually rising in the dim light,
Silent blanking.
Higashinohara raised his hand and lightly tapped his forehead with his knuckles.
the next moment,
The world in front of us returned to normal.
...
Across the dimly lit corridor, Dick put out the cigarette butt in his hand and picked up the whip again, the smile on his face gradually becoming cruel.
"If it's hard to make a decision, do you want me to help you?"
As soon as Dick finished speaking, Higashinohara under the dark golden dragonfly mask finally spoke.
"Time is running out."
He said so softly.
What?
Dick paused and tilted his head slightly.
He heard Higashinohara's words clearly,
But I didn't understand what the other party meant.
In a hurry?
Why do you feel that you are being looked down upon?
The next moment, there was no answer.
In the dim corridor, the man wearing a dark golden dragonfly mask suddenly disappeared. No... he didn't disappear, but turned into a hazy shadow on the spot.
At the same time, Dick's shadow on the ground behind him rolled up like boiling water, and a figure holding a sharp weapon (a fruit knife) quietly emerged from the boiling shadow.
Higashino arrived behind Dick.
Shadow instant!
At this moment, he could even see the slowly twisting muscles in the neck of the heavenly being in front of him when he suddenly turned his head after realizing something was wrong.
But he was not in the mood to appreciate it.
Just like Higashinohara said just now, time is running out. No matter what others think after hearing this, he is really in a hurry in this state.
Insignificant scum...
Then kill him.
Without warning, a bright blade of light tore through the darkness of the corridor under the refraction of the light, landed silently on Dick's back, and instantly opened a wound pattern deep enough to show the bone.
And this is only the first step.
When the furious Dick turned around, swinging his whip, his shadow was still behind him, but Higashinohara was no longer there.
Between the electric light and the dew, a flash of light emerged from the darkness in the corner again, instantly penetrating his ribs.
Dripping blood splattered everywhere!
In every subsequent moment, Dick's reaction was extremely fast and he waved the whip in his hand. With the [Blood Demon] ability activated, he only had to whip the opponent once to absorb the opponent's power.
But I can't touch it.
It can't be touched at all.
In the dim corridor, the furious Dick was like a clumsy clown in a circus holding a whip and performing wits with the air. The beautiful sound of the whip hitting human flesh never once appeared in his ears.
But the sharp blade that was everywhere cut across his body with ruthless force again and again.
This was more like a brutal trial than a battle - the young man wearing a dragonfly mask sentenced him to death with a thousand knives.
Blood gurgled in the corridor, and in a blink of an eye it gathered into a pool of blood on the ground. The trial, which no one was watching, continued, with only the dim light reflecting this strange scene.
until....
The body holding the whip fell to the ground with a crash, its mouth opened wide, and the original rage and unwillingness in its eyes turned into fear of imminent death at the moment it fell to the ground!
How is it possible?
The low-level ability of Shadow Instant,
How could such speed be possible?!
It's a pity that no one answered until death...
...
In the corridor, the figure of Higashinohara, wearing a dark golden dragonfly mask, reappeared in the shadow that had originally been left in place, looking as if he had not moved from beginning to end.
In his hand was a sharp knife stained with blood.
He glanced at Dick lying in a pool of blood,
Then he looked at the body of the unknown high school girl who was whipped beyond recognition not far away,
After lowering his head and wiping the blood on the knife in his hand with his clothes, Silence walked into the light leading to the exit at the end of the corridor...
