You didn't expect this, did you? I've time-traveled again!

"Even so, I almost died. If I hadn't gathered all my energy in my feet and forcibly broken free from the domain's control, I might already be dead."

Although she said it casually, it's still terrifying that she was able to react so quickly at the time, okay?

Elsa touched her smooth skin, which had recovered completely, and looked at Suoh Takeru with a flushed face, as if she liked him even more.

"Ah, this feels so good! I've fallen for you, bro."

"I am truly blessed to be liked by a beauty like you. But unfortunately, I must defeat you."

They resumed their stance.

"Elsa Gransild, the Intestine One!"

"Master swordsman Suoh Takeshi!"

After exchanging names, the two resumed their fight.

No one else could help; they could only stand by and watch the show, feeling anxious and helpless.

In this round, Suoh Takeru still has the upper hand, since all of Elsa's attack patterns have been analyzed!

"I've been curious ever since, bro, you seem to know me very well."

As the battle intensified, Elsa's gentle smile vanished.

Her face was cold, like a beautiful, icy snake. Her seemingly intellectual eyes held a deep madness as she stared intently into Suoh Takeshi's eyes.

"My attack, my defense, my actions, it's as if everything was exactly as you expected."

Elsa seemed to be asking a question, or perhaps confirming something.

"Brother, you wouldn't have guessed my way of thinking, would you?"

"Well, who knows? But I'm sure of one thing: there's no room for the older sister to make a move here."

Suoh Takeshi gave her an ambiguous answer, yet said with unwavering conviction:

"I'm sorry, you can't fight us all by yourself. Of course, if you retreat now, we might let you go."

The last sentence is like a piece of advice or a statement of fact.

Elsa retorted without backing down, "The Intestine Warriors won't give up because of such a small setback. Completing the mission is their top priority, even if it costs them their lives!"

"So this is the Intestine-Borne One?"

Elsa, who had wanted to show off her style, suddenly collapsed to her knees.

He looked a little disheveled.

"What... what's going on?"

"Hmm, the holy water is finally working. I thought it wasn't working for so long."

Before Suoh Takeshi arrived at Zero, he specifically asked Aqua to prepare three bottles of holy water for him in case of emergency, but he didn't expect to need them so soon.

This was something I secretly applied to the knife before.

Aqua's holy water has a special damage bonus against the undead.

Elsa is a half-vampire with an extremely strong ability to regenerate her body, so she likes to fight in a way that risks her life by trading blows.

Suoh Takeru targeted this point, smearing holy water on his blade and slashing at Elsa, injecting the holy water into her body in a way that Elsa could not have imagined.

It takes way too long for it to take effect; it's been almost an hour!

Is it because this is another world, or because Elsa is only a half-vampire?

Could it be that Aqua was being lazy and gave out inferior holy water?

Oh no, the more I think about it, the more likely it seems!

But as a result, she is now kneeling on the ground, powerless to resist.

"I'm sorry, big sister, it seems I have no choice but to leave you here forever."

Suoh Takeshi slowly walked up to Elsa, his Nichirin Blade pointing at her. "But I still want to prove that I'm not lying when I say I like mature women like you, big sister. In fact, big sister is exactly my type."

"Oh dear, even at the end, your little mouth is still so sweet."

Elsa's magic was imprisoned, and her vampire body was also unable to move due to the corruption of the holy water. She couldn't even fight back and could only obediently wait for death.

"Hey bro, if there's a next time, how about we try dating?"

"Sure, if there's a next time!"

Suoh Takeru exhaled lightly, "Water Breathing, Seventh Form: Shizuku Ripple Thrust!"

A single stab pierced through his chest!

[Bonus Chapter] Four Steps Forward Finally Break the Cycle of Reincarnation (4000 words)

P.S.: This chapter is a side story.

This is the general plot of the four cycles that I designed from the beginning.

The original intention was to create some suspense and attract readers' interest through four cycles.

But while they developed an interest, a whole host of bugs were pointed out.

I didn't expect the reaction to be so big.

Although we have tried our best to fix the bugs, there will always be some parts that don't work properly. Please forgive us.

Ultimately, the problem lies in the obvious flaws in one's own logical framework.

You know

When it's a newbie's first time, they're bound to make mistakes without guidance.

By the way, this chapter has nothing to do with Zheng, so you can choose whether to read it or not!

This chapter is garbage; you might as well not read it!

"hateful!"

"Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it!"

Natsuki Subaru, his face contorted in pain, was filled with impotent rage in the dark alleyways of the royal capital.

He had been lingering here for almost three hours, but he still didn't dare to face it again.

"How many times has this happened already?!"

His mind was in complete chaos, and he felt immense fear every time he recalled what had happened before.

How do we deal with that gut-picking maniac?

Why is he so strong?!

hateful!!!

"Hey kid, you don't look too good."

Natsuki Subaru, who was deep in thought with his hands behind his head, looked over in shock after hearing the voice.

"you are?"

Natsuki Subaru stared wide-eyed at the figure in front of him, a figure he had seen several times before.

Beneath his pristine white robe were pure light blue patterns. Although the back of his back to the sun made him appear somewhat dark, his handsome and dashing face was still clearly visible.

why?

Why is Wu, who should have been encountered in the slums at dusk, here?

Is it because I lingered here for quite a while that I met Wu ahead of time?

Was it because of the different routes and time difference that you missed Wu?

In other words, is Wu currently in the capital?

Natsuki Subaru began to think about it and made a mental note of it.

"Young man, would you like an apple?"

Without waiting for his reply, the person in front of him took a bright red apple from the bag and threw it at him.

It wasn't until the apple hit his head that Natsuki Subaru reacted, frantically grabbing at the apple that was scattering everywhere.

"My name is Suoh Takeshi, young man, and what's yours?"

"Natsuki Subaru, my name is Natsuki Subaru!"

Don't dwell on why you're meeting Wu here. Since you're meeting him sooner, prepare in advance!

"Martial arts, in truth, allow me to die."

Natsuki Subaru almost blurted it out in his anxiety.

But when his heart clenched violently, as if someone were gripping it tightly, he finally realized what was happening.

No, no!

No, no, no, no, I can't say it!

The third time I encountered Wu, he died after listening to my explanation.

It's because I blurted it out the first time we met that Wu Gang died when he heard it, so I absolutely must not say it out loud!

"Oh dear, it seems you need a little help."

The moment he paused, Suoh Takeshi quickly walked over and covered his mouth to prevent him from making a sound.

Natsuki Subaru flailed his arms, but he couldn't break free from the strong restraints until he calmed down and was released.

Are you feeling calm now?

"Ah, you've been a great help, Wu."

Natsuki Subaru's expression was still somewhat gloomy and pained, but at least it was relatively stable.

"It's alright, it's alright, by the way..."

Suoh carefully examined Natsuki Subaru's appearance, then nodded and said with certainty, "Yes, Natsuki-kun, you really are from another world."
