Yandere Erii, stop tormenting Lu Mingfei!

Lu Mingfei pointed his gun at Epstein, preventing him from making any rash moves. Old Tang pounced on him. As long as they caught the culprit, everything would be settled!

Epstein's pupils contracted sharply, his brown eyes gleaming with a golden light. The next moment, strange and obscure language burst from his throat, chanting rapidly, and his figure began to distort, swaying like a reflection on water.

In an instant, he split into two, then into four, then into eight!

Eight identical figures appeared out of thin air, wearing the same silk robes and revealing the same golden eyes!

Mantra - Avatar!

Lu Mingfei and the others were stunned, unsure which one was the real Epstein.

Immediately afterwards, the eight Epsteins chanted the language of dragons simultaneously once again, their profound and solemn rhythms resonating in harmony. A dark, mud-like substance surged wildly from under his skin, instantly covering his entire body and solidifying into a hideous black armor!

The armor had a metallic sheen, and sharp black blades extended outwards from the palms, resembling a small longsword.

True Word Technique: Mystic Armor!

"Holy crap!" Fingel exclaimed in shock. "A clone? And one that can even disguise itself? What kind of Word of Power is this?! And why can it cast two? Only a few hybrids can possess two Words of Power, but even they can't cast them simultaneously. This guy has one Word of Power superimposed on top of another!"

Fingel was truly shocked. This was beyond the knowledge and theory he had mastered, and he himself had not seen any trace of the Alchemy Matrix on Epstein. In other words, this was his own ability!

In an instant, eight Epsteins swung their swords at Lu Mingfei and his companions, their movements perfectly synchronized, the blades whistling as they tore through the air.

"You want my life? Then I'll kill you all first!"

Lu Mingfei fired the gun, and flames and smoke gushed out of the barrel. The bullet spun and struck Epstein's black armor, but only made a "clang" sound, sparking black sparks before bouncing off.

Old Tang was closest to them, so he drew his tactical longsword from his waist to meet them. He was quite skilled in swordsmanship, and every move he made was learned from the brink of death. His swordsmanship was powerful and sweeping, with the force of a mountain collapsing and the power of wind and thunder. However, the eight Epsteins were of one mind and worked together perfectly. Their attacks were like mercury flowing across the ground, and Old Tang was suppressed for a time, making it difficult to distinguish between them.

The sound of hurried footsteps and shouts came from afar. The commotion had finally attracted the attention of the island's armed guards, and dozens of men carrying automatic rifles rushed in from all directions.

"Baby, I'll leave these grunts to you. I'm going to help Old Tang!" Lu Mingfei also took out a tactical longsword and charged towards the eight Epsteins.

Erii nodded slightly, and the silver-white short sword emerged from her sleeve, which she held in her hand. Her deep red, rose-colored eyes transformed into dazzling golden pupils.

She casually tossed the short sword out, and in an instant, an invisible domain expanded from the sword's center. A powerful incantation called Judgment was released, and all matter around the domain was manipulated by an unparalleled will, beginning its journey to the world of death.

The guards at the forefront suddenly froze. The rifle in their hands seemed to have weathered for a century, instantly rusting and crumbling into iron slag. Then, their arms, torsos, and heads cracked open inch by inch, blood gushing out. Their consciousness was snatched away in an instant, leaving only empty shells.

This is the horror of judgment: it takes the spirit of the liberator as its source of power, stripping all things of their vitality, whether they are beings with souls or pure matter, all of which die without exception.

The guards behind didn't know what was happening. They only saw a short sword fly over, and then the people in front suddenly stopped in their tracks. But when they also stepped into that death zone, they turned into flying dust like moths to a flame.

The short sword that carried the judgment finally shattered, and buried with it were dozens of upright corpses.

Erii remained unmoved by the passing of others. She merely blinked, yawned slightly, and let out a sleepy tear. She shook her head and tried to open her eyes wide, but her eyelids still drooped involuntarily.

Casting spells continuously all day had taken a toll on her, and she desperately wanted to go to sleep. However, this was the most crucial moment, so she forced herself to stay alert to prevent other enemies from interfering with the battle.

On the other side, Lu Mingfei joined the battle, slashing at the head of an Epstein with an extremely tricky angle, but only managed to leave a thin white mark. Instead, his own hand was numb from the impact.

It's really hard!

A cold glint flashed from behind him, but Lu Mingfei nimbly dodged it and thrust his sword back, the blade landing on his neck, yet still unable to pierce the eerie black armor.

Or maybe Erii should just melt down all these idiots!

Lu Mingfei thought.

But he immediately shook his head. He had noticed the drowsiness that Erii's face kept showing along the way, and knew that she was almost at her limit and about to fall asleep. Therefore, unless there were special circumstances, he would not let Erii take action to avoid any health problems.

How can we subdue Epstein?

Just as he was pondering this, he heard Old Tang roar, "Damn it! I'm fed up with this!"

Anger and rage surged in Old Tang's eyes. The thick-browed, honest-looking man's expression grew increasingly ferocious, and a golden light shone brighter and brighter deep within his black pupils, as if something was burning deep within his soul!

He didn't know what he was doing; he just instinctively raised his hand, his fingers loosely clenched.

Blazing flames appeared out of thin air! Clumps of them rose into the air.

The fire elements in the air cheered and jumped for joy, as if they had heard some supreme voice. They gathered from all directions and pounced on the eight Epsteins like swarms of fire bats, penetrating into their black armor. In an instant, their black armor emitted a dark red flame, and metal lumps rose up like bubbles!

The fire element devoured the strange black armor, causing the metallic structure covering his body to collapse. As a result, the black armor lost its powerful protection and suddenly cracked. The high temperature that could melt metal enveloped Epstein, causing him to let out a wail as if he were being burned alive!

Unable to withstand the terrifying heat of the flames, Epstein released the mantra. His black armor turned into mud and peeled off his skin, leaving him with a burnt smell. Much of his skin was ulcerated from the high temperature, and blood mixed with festering pus flowed out. His seven clones turned into smoke and vanished.

Lu Mingfei seized the opportunity and rushed over, punching Epstein in the face and knocking him to the ground. Then, with a standard grappling stance, he grabbed Epstein's arm joint and pinned him firmly to the ground with his knee.

Just then, a huge buzzing sound suddenly came from the sky, echoing throughout the entire island!

Lu Mingfei looked up and saw eight armed helicopters flying in from the sky. The blinding beams of searchlights shot down from the sky like swords, slashing wildly across the island. One beam of light illuminated the entire helipad as bright as day, and Lu Mingfei and Epstein, who was kneeling on his knees, became the focus of the beam.

A stern male voice blared from the aircraft's loudspeaker: "Attention, people on the island! This is the FBI! We are hereby arresting Epstein in accordance with the law! Please lay down your weapons immediately and cooperate with the investigation! I repeat, please lay down your weapons immediately!"

Lu Mingfei was stunned. What was going on? Where did the FBI come from?

At that moment, the door of one of the helicopters opened, and a figure jumped directly down from high above.

He fell without a parachute or rope, but his body landed extremely lightly, his feet landing firmly on the ground without even bending his knees.

Lu Mingfei stared in astonishment at the flying man, who was an elderly silver-haired man in a black suit. His leather shoes were polished to a high shine, reflecting his face. A red rose was ostentatiously tucked into his chest. He was extremely handsome, and through the marks left by time, one could glimpse his charismatic past.

Of course, this guy is still quite charming; he's definitely the most handsome old man Lu Mingfei has ever seen.

The charming old man smiled slightly at Lu Mingfei.

"Good evening." The old man's voice was gentle and polite, giving people a humble and refined feeling, just like greeting an old friend at a cocktail party.

Lu Mingfei stared at him, looking completely bewildered.

"This is our first formal meeting, isn't it, Mingfei?" the old man said in fluent Chinese.

"Who are you?" Lu Mingfei asked, puzzled.

"Hilbert Jean Angers, the principal of the Kassel College, your godfather."

He paused, then spoke softly.
