Abnormal Moon

"You guy...!"

Sylvia was thoroughly enraged by his words, and an incomprehensible anger appeared on her face.

Xiao is completely different from other terrorists.

He did these things not for profit or ideals, but simply for pleasure.

He derives a soul-stirring pleasure from persecuting and killing others, and experiences unprecedented ecstasy in tormenting the weak. This is why he becomes hopelessly immersed in his own world, manipulating others without regard for their wishes or dignity, controlling them to kill each other, and creating widespread chaos. His nature is pure evil, and he takes cruelty, bloodlust, and perverse tastes for granted.

There's no point in reasoning with a guy like that; the only way to restore peace to the world is to defeat or even kill him, so that those who died because of him can rest in peace!

"So, what are you planning to do this time?"

Roy looked at him indifferently. Even though Sylvia was so angry that she was almost out of her mind, he remained unmoved, as if he didn't care about his words at all.

"Hmm? I have absolutely no interest in you, the champion of the Star Martial Festival. All I want to do is to completely corrupt the world's most admired songstress, and see her fall into despair and become hopeless. I just saw a good opportunity to attack and I couldn't resist a little. Delicious food should be saved for last. I really shouldn't have done that."

Xiao controlled Wumao to open his mouth and let out a low laugh as murky as a swamp.

"But it's better that you survived, because the next part of the show is the important one!"

"Despite your anxiety, worry, resentment, and helplessness, songstress! I'll give you a prophecy: a world-shaking event will occur on this island, and your revenge will be among it. I wonder what kind of expression you'll make then? I'm really looking forward to it, hahahahahahaha—!"

Sylvia's expression suddenly darkened, and she exuded a strong aura of danger, as if she couldn't help but want to make a move.

Roy silently watched Wu Mao laugh wildly, then glanced at Sylvia, who seemed to be on the verge of exploding.

He stepped forward, wrapped the star power around his fingers, and under the gaze of the two, reached out and pinched the thread by Wu Mao's ear.

Wu Mao, manipulated into raising a contemptuous smile, scoffed at Roy's actions.

"Want to cut the wire? Whatever, I'll give it to you—hmm!"

Quite abruptly, the manipulated Wumao let out a muffled groan.

"What...is this? What did you do?"

Xiao came to her senses and let out an incredible cry through Wumao's mouth, as if she was enduring something, as if she was suffering some kind of pain.

what happened?

The hostility in Sylvia's eyes gradually dissipated, and she looked at Roy with the same incredulous expression.

"Who knows?"

Roy shrugged, a mocking smile on his face.

"Weren't you so good at pretending? Why can't you do it now? You can't even tell what I did. Why don't you take a good look and guess, invincible Lord Xiao?"

"you……"

Xiao was about to say something, but then he gritted his teeth and snapped the wire connecting him to Wu Mao.

In an unknown, dimly lit space, his whole body felt like it was on fire. A dense, stinging sensation spread from all over his skin. The intense heat caused his body temperature to rise rapidly, and even his brain became scorching hot, as if he might be burned to death at any moment.

"He can attack me from a distance using only a line? What kind of attack is this? Just who is this guy?"

Countless questions filled Xiao's mind.

Just a minute ago, he completely disregarded Roy.

A minute later, he felt a strong sense of incomprehension and apprehension towards Roy.

As the line was cut, the inexplicable attacks on his body gradually weakened and soon dissipated like rootless duckweed. Xiao stood up again.

"There are actually guys like this in this world, we can't be careless..."

On the other side, the redevelopment zone.

What Roy transmitted to Akatsuki through the medium of the thread was his own curse.

Under Angolan Mainyu's deliberate planning, he has long since become one with the curse. Not only his body, but even his soul has been corrupted by the curse. They are intertwined and inseparable in this life. The fact that he has not fallen is purely due to his willpower and the method of suppressing his personality by using glasses to cut away his own traits.

In essence, Roy is very close to the Curse of the Humanoids. Although the Curse often erupts in a very tragic way, this is also a kind of advantage.

To take advantage of this, Roy specifically learned curse spells to kill enemies from a distance.

"However, it's impossible to kill an enemy of Akatsuki's level just by casting a curse from a distance."

Roy felt a pang of regret, and Xiao also realized that he had released the curse through the medium of the thread, so he decisively cut the thread.

A curse needs a medium to be released; it cannot be imagined. It must rely on a tangible medium, such as a photograph of the enemy, a strand of hair from their body, or even a glance exchanged with them. Through these methods, a curse can be planted.

But Xiao was hiding in the distance, and the only connection between him and the line in front of him was the line in front of him. Roy could only cast curses on him through the line. Without the line, without the medium, he naturally could not attack him from a distance.

Chapter 266 Nameless

At the same time, the thread controlling him was cut, and Wu Mao reacted quickly, fleeing into the distance without saying a word.

Do you think you can escape from me?

Roy's feet swayed, and the power of the stars erupted beneath his feet. In the blink of an eye, he appeared behind Wu Mao, slashing him in half at the waist once again.

While Wumiao's melee combat skills weren't entirely lacking, they were practically nonexistent in front of Roy.

"Thank you very much."

Sylvia, with her hands behind her back, skipped lightly to Roy's side, a faint smile spreading across her face.

"Did I save you? Don't worry about it, it was something I wanted to do myself."

As Roy spoke, he looked down and saw that Wu Mao's severed lower body was showing signs of reassembling. He frowned and kicked Wu Mao's lower body away.

Wu Mao glared at him with a face full of resentment.

Even so, I still want to express my gratitude.

Sylvia's lips twitched slightly as she watched him violently kick Wu Mao's lower body.

"And... just now, you didn't need to offend Xiao, did you? You might be targeted by him, wouldn't you?"

"I'll do it if I want to."

"Yeah……"

Sylvia nodded, a slight smile appearing on her face.

"That might have been my imagination. I thought you were trying to get revenge for me!"

A warm smile spread across her face.

It was a very special smile, full of gentle curves, making you feel as if you were in a hot spring just by looking at her, as if your whole body was warmed up.

Her gaze softened, though it had always been gentle, but now it became even more tender, as if water could drip from it.

"..."

Roy didn't say anything.

He didn't deny it.

Okay, he admitted it.

He didn't really care what Xiao was up to, and he didn't care how many people died. But seeing Sylvia almost losing her mind made him feel really annoyed, so he cursed Xiao from afar.

After all, Sylvia took good care of "her", trusting and caring for "her" without reservation, and Roy also regarded her as someone he cherished from the bottom of his heart.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Sylvia covered her mouth and let out a muffled laugh.

it is as expected!

Roy sighed softly, then squatted down, placed his hand on Wumao's body, and channeled his magic into him to examine his body.

"By the way, what's your relationship with the Chief?"

After Sylvia finished laughing, she came over from the side, her eyes, even brighter than before, fixed on Roy, a faint glimmer of hope in them.

Roy's hand trembled, and he was so startled that he almost burned out the magic circuit.

"What could possibly be the connection?"

He remained outwardly calm, but secretly observed Sylvia's reaction out of the corner of his eye.

"Now I'm asking you a question, aren't I?"

He didn't seem angry, nor did he seem to be questioning anyone.

That probably wasn't about discovering that Ms. Okita was his familiar, but simply a question he wanted to ask.

"...They're probably from the same swordsmanship school?"

Roy thought for a moment and gave a very conservative answer.

Anyone with even a slight skill in swordsmanship could tell from his duel with Okita Souji in the Star Martial Arts Festival finals that they were using the same school of swordsmanship.

After the match, Kirin Toudou even went to see him. She felt that Roy and Ms. Okita's swordsmanship were too similar, even their subtle reactions were exactly the same. She was very puzzled by this, so she asked him. Roy gave the answer that they came from the same school. Although Kirin felt that something was still wrong, out of trust in Roy, she accepted it very readily and forgot about it.

"that is it?"

Upon hearing this, Sylvia adopted a thoughtful expression and moved closer to Roy, as if she wanted to test him further.

"There's no other relationship, right?"

Roy was unsure of what she was up to and reacted cautiously.
