I'll kill you after I finish this game!

She had inquired about the other party's organization beforehand, and if it could really solve her problem, it would be considered as having accomplished part of her goal.

Ultimately, did she really want to use Lei Zhe as a shield? Or was there something deeper going on?

Lei Zhe didn't have mind-reading abilities, so naturally he didn't know, nor did he intend to investigate, this woman's thoughts.

P.S.: Please vote and recommend! Based on someone's guess in the previous chapter, Rias is indeed transferring over soon, and another fight is about to break out. Next up is the story of Yu and the Night King, as well as the vampire ninja extermination plot.

Chapter 100 Encounter with the King of the Night

After watching Mashiro get into Hiratsuka Shizuka's car, Razer picked up Scarlett and headed to the cat shop to buy some cat supplies.

He didn't take the incident involving Natsukawa Masuzu to heart. Even though he had been cultivating for a long time and was tired of hunting ghouls to cultivate his killing intent fluctuations and wanted to relax, he had no intention of developing the Natsukawa Masuzu storyline.

"Welcome! Are you looking to buy some pet-related items or do you need pet grooming services?"

Upon entering the pet store, one notices that none of the animals are barking or making noise; they all appear quite gentle. As Reiji enters carrying Scarlet, a kind-looking young man in work clothes also approaches, carrying a chubby orange cat. It seems he is either an employee or the store manager.

As Rezel, who was holding Scarlett and about to say something, approached the kind-looking young man, the holy light within him inexplicably stirred.

There was a sense of unease and disgust, like when facing a demon or a fallen angel, but it wasn't too intense; it was just a certain resistance.

The kind-faced young man, who was holding a chubby orange cat and smiling, paused for a moment when he saw Lei Zhe up close. This pause was completely imperceptible to ordinary people, but it seemed that there were no ordinary people in this shop except for animals.

There was only a unique existence that was somewhat unfamiliar to both parties.

"Excuse me, I need a litter box, cat litter, a cat tree, a scratching post, and cat shampoo..."

After briefly observing the other party, Rezhe concluded that although the other party was a special being, there was no problem as long as there was no conflict between them. He just wanted to buy some cat-specific items for Scarlett.

"Okay, this little red kitten in your arms is so cute. Would you like some items to be customized for your cat? We offer that service."

The kind young man in work clothes put down the chubby orange cat in his arms and looked at Scarlett with a smile as he spoke to Reiji.

"No need. Please find some items suitable for my cat. I've heard from others that this pet store has good products and services."

You can't hit a smiling face. Although he didn't know who the other person was, he didn't want to have any further contact or communication with them. Right now, he just wanted to buy his things and go home for dinner!

After hearing Lei Zhe's words, the young man in the work clothes responded and then began to help Lei Zhe get the cat-specific items.

After carefully selecting everything, he packed it all into the prepared box. The young man in the work clothes asked if he needed it delivered to his door, but Lei Zhe politely declined. He then simply carried the box full of items on his shoulder with one hand.

"By the way, sir, we recently lost a very special cat. It's just as cute as the one you're holding, with pure white fur and deep blue sapphire eyes. It doesn't meow much. Have you seen it?"

Suddenly, just as Lei Zhe was about to leave, the young man mentioned that a cat had gone missing from his shop.

Just as Lei Zhe was about to answer that he hadn't seen anything, he discovered that apart from the sounds of the pets, the pet shop was completely silent.

Despite the considerable flow of people and vehicles outside the store, the pet store itself seemed to have come to a standstill, isolated from the outside world.

An invisible black aura of death formed a barrier, enveloping the pet shop. Reiji's expression suddenly turned cold. He looked down at Scarlett in his arms and gently instructed:

"Scarlett, go play with the little bastards in the port area first."

"Meow~"

Although Scarlett didn't understand what was going on, she listened to Reiji completely. She nuzzled Reiji's chest, and after Reiji patted her head, she was teleported to the port area of ​​the block world, along with the box that Reiji was carrying.

Having wiped out all other creatures, Lei Zhe ignored the pets in the pet shop. Suddenly, an eerie blood-red mist emanated from his body, the whites of his eyes turned a dark red representing killing intent, and his pupils became dark gold.

Unlike the black death aura that forms a barrier and cannot be sensed by pets, his killing intent fluctuations form a blood mist that even mosquitoes can sense. Those that get close will be killed, and those that stay far away will subconsciously avoid him.

Now, all the pets in the cages in the pet store are lying there trembling, making pitiful whimpering sounds.

"What do you want, dark creature?"

Turning around, those ghostly eyes, filled with chilling murderous intent, stared at the young man in work clothes before him, whose friendly smile had vanished—no, he should now be called the King of the Night.

The Night King narrowed his eyes, staring fearlessly into the other's eyes filled with intense killing intent. This was the first time he had ever seen such a tangible killing aura. Although he was somewhat cautious, he felt no fear whatsoever.

I'm not even afraid of death, so why would I be afraid of killing intent?

"Didn't we say that our store recently lost a special cat..."

"Don't beat around the bush with me, I hate riddle people!"

Faced with the other party's roundabout words, Lei Zhe clenched his fists. If this guy didn't give him an explanation, he wouldn't mind letting him experience the pain of the [Instant Hell Kill], where his body and soul felt like they were falling into the eighteenth level of hell!

He couldn't wait to test his killing move against a powerful opponent!

"Heh, since you don't understand, then I won't beat around the bush, Euclid Wood..."

boom! ! !

This time it wasn't a blood-red killing intent wave of mist, but a scorching killing intent wave of blood flames that materialized and burned. The floor beneath Razer's feet began to crumble and disintegrate, and dense cracks quickly spread to the walls and then to the ceiling.

"What are you here to seek? The blood of immortality? Vast magical power? Or do you want to take it all away?"

Lei Zhe smiled at the young man in front of him. It was just an ordinary smile, but with the killing intent eroding his body, his smile really looked exactly like that of a demon.

He was ready to kill the guy in front of him. He raised his fists slightly. As long as the guy in front of him didn't have any unexpected evasive moves, he would unleash a thousand strikes in an instant, annihilating his body and even his soul!

Anyone who tries to spy on Yu deserves to die! He's not like Aikawa Ayumu, who's kind-hearted. If Yu doesn't want to, anyone who tries to force her will die!

The Night King, whose killing intent was sealed, listened to Lei Zhe's words with an amused smile, his eyes filled with inexplicable emotions as he looked at Lei Zhe, who was full of killing intent.

"How terrifying. I feel like I'll turn into rotten flesh in the next instant. I didn't expect Yu to attract someone willing to protect her again. It seems she really is by your side. She's just like always."

"However, I am not interested in what you have said. All I seek is 'death'."

The Night King felt a mixture of relief and helplessness. Eucliwood was always like this; she never lacked people who would protect her, and every time she tried to kill herself, she rarely succeeded.

He used to be one of them, but things have changed. He can no longer hold on and can no longer accompany or protect You.

He could inexplicably tell that the man in front of him, who possessed a trace of Eucliwood's magical aura, was the kind of being drawn to Eucliwood and willingly protected, because he had been the same way before.

In the past, he always exterminated those maggots who dared to spy on his friends, and he was even willing to sacrifice his life for them.

However, after becoming a zombie...

The reason he kept the other person was simply because he sensed a trace of superior magical energy on the other person at the first moment and wanted to investigate the situation.

Who knows what kind of person this guy with a bit of magical aura is? If he's the kind of madman who's been chasing after You, he wouldn't mind keeping him alive and killing him.

Although he wanted to find death in Yu, he never thought of harming her, and he had no good feelings towards those who greedily coveted the girl's power.

"...King of the Night?"

Lei Zhe was stunned for a moment upon hearing the other party's words. He carefully examined the young man in front of him and uttered the word.

If someone is looking for a way to die, it has to be the Night King, and this guy in front of me fits that description perfectly.

"Oh? So you know me. Did Yu tell you?"

Hearing the way Lei Zhe addressed him, the Night King was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected this special human to know him. He didn't remember ever meeting the other person. So how did this human know?

"No, Yu doesn't talk about her past casually, and she doesn't want to mention my existence at all. Are you someone from some powerful organization?"

The Night King completely ignored the intense killing intent emanating from Razer, which felt like needles piercing his flesh and spirit. Anyone with such killing intent was no pushover, and there probably weren't many people who knew of his existence.

Moreover, I didn't recognize him at first glance. It's probably because I've never met him but have heard of him. Otherwise, why would I reveal my name as soon as I said I wanted to die?

"I don't belong to any faction; I'm just an idle individual with some power. I've heard about you. Is the recent increase in Megalos in this area because of you?"

The murderous aura and blood flames emanating from Lei Zhe's body suddenly receded into his body, but his appearance remained ferocious like a demon, and his dark red and white-gold pupils proved that he had not relaxed.

The only difference is that this guy in front of him is a bit special. He's not an enemy to him, just a picky person who wants to die at Yu's hands.

Strangely enough, the things this guy was going to do and his personality overlapped somewhat with the Mercury Serpent that he used to write about the myriad phenomena of the Divine Throne.

There are many beings in this world capable of killing the Night King, but he only wanted Yu to kill him. Think about it carefully, doesn't it have a bit of that Green Serpent vibe?

"I always feel like you're talking about me behind my back. The increase in Megalo in this area is indeed because of me, because I really want to see Yu. After all, she keeps avoiding me, and this is just a necessary means."

The Night King had expected this guy to come and kill him, but he stopped after confirming his identity, which meant the other party knew something about him.

It's very likely that they know about his relationship with You.

As for the Night King's explanation of the reasons to him, Reiji curled his lip. Only this pure underworld person could use Megalo. He really would do anything to get Yu to give him a release.

However, the Night King also has a bottom line, which is that he will not fundamentally harm Yu. After all, he was once Yu's friend and her protector. Although Razer knows this, he does not want Yu to be made to cry by the Night King.

For Xiaoyou, the Night King was one of her few friends and partners.

For someone like this to ask her to personally deliver her to her death is undoubtedly the cruelest thing for the girl. Thinking of this, Lei Zhe looked at the guy in front of him: "I know you are immortal. If you want to die, I can grant your wish. I guarantee you won't even have your soul left."

The immortality created by Xiaoyou's words is quite troublesome, but there are many ways to eliminate the Night King.

The Bible-like Lolita God at home can definitely do it, and he has a way.

"You really are a nice person. You don't want to hurt Yu, do you?"

When the Night King heard that Rezhe was going to kill him, his face didn't show much emotion. Instead, he looked at the guy in front of him with great interest.

Although his aura was very powerful, he was surprisingly young. He was able to see through Lei Zhe's thoughts at a glance.

Should I say... that people become shrewd with age?

"Stop talking nonsense, are you going to die or not? I'm serious!"

Rei Zhe, whose true thoughts had been exposed, didn't show much emotion. He just said impatiently, raising his fists again and pointing them at the Night King in front of him.

"Um... Although I crave death, I'd be willing to give it to you, but I'd rather have Yu do it. I want to become a penguin after I die... I quite like penguins."

Hearing Lei Zhe's blunt and impolite words, the Night King couldn't help but chuckle, and then spoke again.

Surprisingly, I had a very pleasant conversation with this guy, Lei Zhe, even though the atmosphere was tense right now.

Upon hearing this, the murderous intent in Lei Zhe's eyes vanished, replaced by visible contempt and disdain, which made the Night King, an old monster who had lived for a very long time, feel somewhat embarrassed.

It seems like he's saying he wants to die, but at the same time he's being very picky. Isn't that what that thing is again:

"Bitch!"

Oh! Yes, that's the word!

Lei Zhe thought about it and realized that You also liked penguins quite a bit. When he accompanied Xiao You shopping for the first time, she had won a penguin plush toy from a claw machine.

Lei Zhe felt he had figured out a little bit of what that picky jerk, the Night King, was thinking.

When the Night King heard Reiji call him a bastard, his lips twitched, but Reiji then showed him absolutely no respect:

"You might as well just say that you just want to die at Yu's hands, so that she can personally end things for you and give you a proper ending?"

The Lord of the Fourth Throne, Mercury Serpent, felt great!

"I have a question for you. When you were dying, were you in a state of survival, begging Yu to save you, or did Yu decide to save you on her own?"
