"Didn't you ask why I dared to come alone?"

This time, it was the last corpse that spoke, right after him.

"Because both of these corpses were agents in life! Hahahaha!"

Lin Yu's eyes widened suddenly. He had made all sorts of guesses, but he never expected that Collint would kill his two companions so quickly and manipulate them with the power of the Eighth Chamber!

"Oh no! If they're all agents, then we're in danger!"

After all, the agents are beings chosen by the gods, and the power they possess is absolutely top-tier in any world. With two agents, one self-destructing and the other restraining, it would definitely be a deadly crisis!

Damn it!

Having fought the proxy who was holding him back twice, Lin Yu was confident that he could kill the proxy in a short time under normal circumstances, but in this critical moment, time simply did not allow it. He could only watch helplessly as the self-destructing proxy grew larger and larger, unable to escape. The energy that the Gluttony Sin could devour also had its limits, and Lin Yu was even certain that the self-destruction of the proxy level had definitely exceeded the limits!

"Am I going to die?"

Lin Yu's eyes widened suddenly. He couldn't care less about anything else at this moment. He activated the Eye of Calamity and the Black Flame at the same time.

He must kill the proxy who is holding him back as quickly as possible and leave this enclosed space shrouded in golden runes!

[Phew, this chapter was so tiring to write. I revised it so many times and I was still not satisfied. This last version is barely enough to express what I wanted to say. Time for bed, time for work tomorrow QAQ]

242. A scheme within a scheme, a lucky accident! [Two-in-one]

"I didn't expect that the chaos I envisioned would not even begin before I was forced to use black flames, and to use them to save my life."

Lin Yu's smile was somewhat bitter, but the black flames quickly replaced the original purple flames, enveloping his entire body.

"Now that you've unleashed the Black Flame, then you may die!"

Lin Yu was already able to control his emotions to a certain extent with the ordinary Flame of Sin, but the Black Flame was different. This power that burst forth in despair was not as easy to control as the Flame of Sin. If he had to describe the difference between the two, then for Lin Yu, the ordinary Flame of Sin was at most just a sheep with a slightly bad temper, which could be easily tamed, while the Black Flame state was a tiger to Lin Yu!

It's not a large, sick cat that has lost its wildness due to being domesticated by humans, but a king of beasts that grew up in the natural environment!

There is a chasm between the two. Even after the Black Flame state is lifted, Lin Yu will still be affected by it with each use. The changes brought about by these effects are not obvious, but if this continues for a long time, there will inevitably come a day when Lin Yu will no longer be himself.

Therefore, Lin Yu has always restrained his impulse to use black flames to crush his enemies. He has always been very clear that the crushing power of black flames is only effective against enemies whose strength is not much different from his own. Once there is an enemy that black flames cannot crush, he will probably be driven to his doom. This is a situation that he will never allow to happen!

"Since we're going to die at the hands of our own people before this war even starts, we might as well get rid of this burden as soon as possible!"

Lin Yu swung his fist, his anger blazing, driven by the original sin of rage!

boom!

Once again, a devastating power surged from afar. Black Eyes had already put aside her minor grudge about Lin Yu turning away. The commotion from such a distance was already so terrifying; the level of the battle was beyond her imagination.

"Brother, will everything be alright?"

Xiao Hei Tong looked worried. She was still young and straightforward. When Lin Yu turned away earlier, she almost thought he was going to abandon them and run away alone. Now it seemed that Lin Yu was about to face the real challenge!

"Don't worry, Onii-chan is the strongest!"

Compared to the worried Kuroko, Tina was full of confidence. Having experienced too much darkness since childhood, Tina had long regarded Lin Yu as everything. She was even willing to abandon everything as a human being in order to continue to stay by Lin Yu's side, even if she had to be stained with the blood she had hated since childhood and become a sword that kills lives!

"Even so, we still need to get Kurohime to Esdeath as soon as possible and then get to Onii-chan's side!"

Having confidence and worry are two different things. Even if Tina believes that Lin Yu is the strongest person in the world, she will still feel worried if she is not by Lin Yu's side. Since she has decided to become Lin Yu's sword, what kind of person would she be if she could not stay by Lin Yu's side at such a critical moment?

"Now that you are dead, may you rest in peace!"

Tina bowed slightly to the three corpses in front of her. Her originally innocent eyes suddenly turned sharp. Don't let her cute appearance fool you, she's probably no less experienced than Esdeath in terms of combat!

call out!

With a flick of her fair, delicate hand, sword energy ripped through the air and hurtled forward. After fusing with the giant sword 'Vampire,' Tina herself became one with the sword, so she could naturally use the vampire's abilities. Moreover, with her command, the vampire's power was amplified countless times. Furthermore, after signing a contract with Lin Yu, she gained the right to use all of Lin Yu's power, making her strength comparable to Lin Yu himself in his Sin Flame state!

Of the three corpses that came to attack, only Nogo was relatively weak. The other two corpses that launched the sneak attack possessed extremely strange abilities. Therefore, Tina did not dare to be careless. Although this attack was only a test, its power should not be underestimated.

Boom!

As expected, the sword energy struck empty air. These deranged corpses clearly still retained most of their combat instincts. They only needed a general command from their controllers to fight on their own. However, it was obvious that these corpses were not like the agents they were in life.

Perhaps in Collint's eyes, these two little girls, who were not his targets, were not worth mentioning. He only sent three corpses to attack to distract Lin Yu. The real fighting force was all concentrated on Lin Yu's side. The three corpses here were just there to make up the numbers for him.

"The speed wasn't particularly fast, and I haven't tested the strength, but the physical strength of one of them was astonishing."

Tina, holding Black Eyes, dodged the attacks from the corpses while calmly analyzing the situation. She wasn't just exceptionally strong; she was also a brilliant strategist.

"It can work!"

Ta-da!

The small body stopped retreating, holding Black Eyes in one hand to avoid being attacked by the two corpses. At the same time, she slashed out with the other hand in a chop shape, and the perfect timing allowed her to easily sever the head of one of the corpses. She did not recognize this corpse. She had the opportunity to sever Nogo's head at the same time, but she hesitated.

Regardless, Nogo was a friend of Lin Yu's, and even though he was now dead, she still couldn't bring herself to kill him.

Tina had killed many people she didn't want to kill, but she was forced to by circumstances. If possible, she really didn't want to hurt anyone. Unfortunately, Nogo was already under control, and if she didn't take action, he would never be free.

"Huh? One of the two little girls who went to retrieve their bodies was killed?"

The person hiding in the shadows was focused on dealing with Lin Yu, but suddenly discovered that one of his little plans had taken an unexpected turn, which piqued his interest.

Collint was cautious by nature and never intended to reveal his true identity from the beginning. He was best at manipulating everything from the shadows. After arriving in this world, he had already easily killed his two 'companions' in this way. He never expected that two little girls could also cause his plans to go wrong. Such a rare situation immediately aroused his interest.

Among all the agents, Collint's own strength may not be anything special, but his cunning is top-notch. While the other agents were still observing the situation, he had already set a trap for Lin Yu as his prey. Killing his two companions was just part of this trap. He didn't even pay much attention to Lin Yu as a target, which is why he abandoned the target to satisfy his curiosity.

"With those two good-for-nothings on Lin Yu's side, it's none of my business. Let's see what's going on."

Collint licked his lips and closed his eyes. The same Imperial Arms could be used in completely different ways by two different people. Take Esdeath for example. Although the Devil's Essence she possessed was powerful, it was by no means enough to make her the strongest among the other Imperial Arms users. However, she did it and even developed a special move that did not exist before!

The same goes for Collint. The Eighth Chamber's ability was originally just to manipulate corpses, but in his hands, he could make the corpses speak as if they were alive. He could even share vision with the corpses!

This is also the biggest reason why he was able to control the whole situation from the shadows!

"Huh? This little girl is interesting. She actually possesses this level of strength. No wonder she was able to kill one of my corpses."

A slight look of surprise appeared on Collint's closed face, but it was quickly masked by a fake smile.

"But it was a lucky break. I'll let you enjoy this little trump card that I originally planned to use against Lin Yu!"

Collint drew a short staff covered in runes from his waist, and with a casual wave, the dense runes flashed with a bright light before returning to calm. Only he knew what had happened...

I'm sorry.

Tina's eyes revealed a hint of apology. She had made up her mind to let her brother's friend rest in peace, but just as she was about to take action, an unexpected event occurred!

Clang!

Golden light appeared on Nogo's body, which Tina had originally anticipated to be the weakest. Through the golden light, one could vaguely see the characters engraved on his skin.

"what is this?"

Tina was startled and retreated rapidly. With her rich combat experience, she instinctively sensed the danger. She was still holding Kuro-tomi in her arms, and any misjudgment could lead to irreversible consequences. Therefore, she had no choice but to be vigilant.

"Tsk tsk, I really don't know where that guy found such a clever little girl. It's a pity though. I wonder what kind of funny expression Lin Yu will have when he sees your corpses. Angry? Regretful? Resentful? Haha, I'm kind of looking forward to it!"

Collint hid in the shadows, talking to himself. He loved the feeling of being in control of everything. The thrill of manipulating powerful individuals even if he wasn't particularly strong was his lifelong pursuit!

For this reason, he even willingly descended into depravity...

"This distance should be enough."

Tina mentally assessed the safe distance while simultaneously launching an attack. She wouldn't underestimate any sense of danger, but that didn't mean she had to focus entirely on defense.

Ding--!

Among the numerous runes covering Nogo's body, one inconspicuous rune slowly disappeared, as if it had merged into his body. The next second, Nogo's body vanished from the spot!

"How is that possible!"

Tina's eyes widened suddenly as a chilling sensation ran down her spine—a feeling she used to experience only when faced with potentially fatal crises!

Puff!

The blade pierced through Tina's body. At the last moment, Tina turned her body to the side. Although she couldn't dodge it herself, at least Black Eyes was not harmed.

"Sister Tina!"

Black Eyes gasped in shock. Although she had only just met Tina, she knew that Tina had always been protecting her. When she saw Tina's body pierced by a sword, her vision blurred instantly.

"It seems I was careless!"

"Ok?"

Collint's smile froze, and he frowned. He realized that he had probably oversimplified things.

"instant!"

Collint personally gave the order, and another rune attached to Nogo's body disappeared. Such a subtle change was impossible to detect, but at least, Tina seemed to be unaffected. A counter-attack from her hand was perfectly dodged by Nogo, and when she reappeared the next second, she was already ten meters away.

"She's actually recovered? This little girl's body is quite interesting; is it actually an aggregate of energy?"

Collint clearly saw through Tina's true nature at a glance. After fusing with the giant sword 'Vampire', she had become an energy creature. As long as Lin Yu's existence power was not exhausted and he himself did not perish, Tina would be immortal. Even if her body was completely destroyed, she could be reborn next to Lin Yu in the next second!

"But if that's the case, it's a bit... What?!"

An immense force surged through the space, and Corinth was able to clearly sense just how powerful that force was through the corpse's senses.

Collint, who thought he had everything under control, suddenly realized that Tina's existence was beyond his expectations and might even change the entire battle!

I'm sorry!

Tina apologized and raised her right hand high. A tremendous power of existence gathered in her slender right hand, and a gigantic vampire appeared in her hand!

"It's so big!"

Collint frowned deeply, realizing that he had repeatedly underestimated Tina's strength.

"No wonder Lin Yu was willing to let these two girls face the corpses I controlled alone. It turns out they actually possess this level of power. They're really not simple."

Collint's brow relaxed. He had encountered all sorts of problems when he was scheming against others in the past, but he had always managed to resolve them successfully. He believed that this time would be no different.

"There must be a breakthrough, but where exactly is it?"

Collint's mind started racing, and he had already come up with a countermeasure before Tina had fully gathered her power.

"This little girl is indeed an energy being, but the other is just an ordinary human. In that case..."

A relaxed yet insincere smile reappeared on Collint's face; whenever he showed such an expression, it meant he was already confident of success.

"Then let's kill them with a shockwave!"

Collint smirked at the simple and brutal ability he had come up with. Nearly half of the runes on Nogo's body lit up. These runes were originally intended to be used when Lin Yu lowered his guard against Nogo. His series of actions in the early stages were all for a specific purpose. He believed that Lin Yu would definitely ignore the existence of Nogo, a close friend he knew well. As long as Lin Yu relaxed his guard even slightly, he would be doomed!

However, he didn't expect that this trap, which hadn't been used in the battle with Lin Yu, would be used here.

"But it was worth it. Even if an energy creature is blown to pieces, it will definitely not survive. It was worth it to eliminate one of Lin Yu's arms."
