Poverty makes me capable of anything.

No one noticed that Ruo's eyes were gleaming with an unusual light.

His gaze did not linger on Ella for long.

“I don’t know if you recognize this thing,” An Ran said with a cold smile to the dazed Fitch.

Fitch finally managed to turn his attention away from Ella.

His pupils suddenly contracted.

Natural disasters, fire, rain, and explosive bombs.

His extensive knowledge allowed him to immediately recognize the item in An Ran's hand.

"you……"

"Are you still interested in continuing to play?" An Ran asked.

"..."

Fitch fell silent.

He couldn't kill An Ran instantly. An Ran had plenty of time to detonate the bomb, and if it detonated in this place, they would all die.

Fitch took a deep breath: "Fine, I can let you and your sister go, but the others will have to stay."

“Okay.” An Ran nodded.

She retreated step by step.

They wanted to find a weakness, but they couldn't find any weakness to exploit in Fitch.

Those "copper pillars" are protecting them too much.

Is there really no other way...?

An Ran sighed inwardly and glanced at Harrison.

[Bleeding], [Severe Injury], [Chaos]...

Harrison has so many negative traits that they can't be listed on a single line.

It's beyond saving.

Or perhaps he's still alive just to see Fitch die.

In comparison, Ruo only has one [Bleeding] effect on her.

He was able to withstand Fitch's sudden attack just now, and even with one hand severed and the other broken, he seemed to still have something left to hold onto.

An Ran unconsciously walked away from Ruo.

At the same time, he called out to Ella, "Ella, let's go."

“Hmm. But those two…” Ella looked at Maggie.

"Waaaaah..."

Ignoring the pain, Maggie struggled.

She knew she would die if she stayed, and she didn't want to die: "Waaah..."

Fitch frowned slightly, and with a flick of his left hand, the arrows embedded in his body began to drag Maggie, Spider-Woman, and Harrison toward him.

"Pfft—" Harrison spat out a mouthful of blood.

As they were about to be pulled away, Fitch's expression changed drastically, and his usually steady body began to tremble involuntarily.

wrong.

The thought had just crossed An Ran's mind when she suddenly noticed that the air around her had become viscous and there was light. She quickly looked down and saw that the dark ground had been lit up with countless blood-red halos, which seemed to be pulsating as if they were alive.

"Hahaha……"

laughter.

A hoarse voice.

The laughter made An Ran turn her head with difficulty, as if she were in a quagmire.

It really was Ruo, that guy who'd been pretending to be useless all along.

"Hahaha, I've finally waited for this moment." His broken arm miraculously recovered, and he stood up shakily.

“How could that be?” Fitch said in a hoarse voice.

“Of course I would.” Ruo glared at him. “Fitch, don’t think you’re the only one who’s got a backup plan.”

His gaze swept over An Ran and the others one by one.

He grinned and said, "I have to thank you guys. If you hadn't fought so fiercely and lost so much blood, this array wouldn't have been able to be activated smoothly."

“Impossible.” Fitch’s body was still trembling, as if something was choking him. “How could this array possibly bind me?”

“Normally, that’s impossible. But don’t forget who that body sacrificed blood to, and whose blood is flowing on the ground.”

As soon as Ruo finished speaking, Fitch fell silent.

homology.

"Although it's only five minutes, it's enough."

He took a deep breath and stared at An Ran: "I'll deal with you later. I'm quite interested in your sister."

"Hahaha."

He walked towards Fitch while laughing.

The situation reversed, and Harrison stared blankly at Ruo.

Although he knew he would still die, his previously gloomy eyes suddenly lit up. This way, Fitch would die, even if not at his hands.

“I have waited far too long for just one day. It has been a full ten years. I was worried that this would anger those lunatics in the Holy Church, but I did not expect that the Governor had already come up with a solution. I am so grateful.”

"To thank you, I will take good care of your daughter."

Fitch was still trembling, and his eyes had returned to their original blood red.

The arrows embedded in Machi and the Spider Woman's bodies vibrated violently, and the originally small wounds grew larger and larger, but they just couldn't be pulled out.

"Don't waste your time."

As he approached Fitch, he muttered something to himself, his only remaining hand moving rapidly. Crimson runes swirled in the air.

I still can't move.

He couldn't even activate the natural disaster fire rain bomb, no wonder he was so confident in letting her stand here.

This guy really kept it well hidden.

However, despite recognizing Ella's extraordinary qualities, he made the same mistake as Fitch.

That means Ella can still move.

Wait, wait until he can't move anymore.

The thick air squeezed An Ran's body desperately, trying to draw blood out of her. An Ran clenched her teeth, her life force rapidly approaching 50%, but she still had to wait.

As the range controlled by the array grew larger, as Fitch suddenly stopped trembling, and as Ruo grabbed Fitch by the neck...

"Ella, come over here, and don't make a sound."

If it weren't for the special frequency, even the commands wouldn't be able to be generated.

But they overlooked too many things.

As soon as Ella arrived, she caught the alchemical hammer that Anran had chosen to receive.

"what."

"Use this..."

Physical strength is lost even faster.

The alchemical hammer, which counters alchemy, might be useless against Fitch, but it's effective against Ruo.

"Haha, once I get this body, I can get my revenge for all the humiliation I suffered before in just ten years."

"My dear Governor, please make way for me."

"I will take good care of your two daughters. Oh, it seems one of them is about to die, but it doesn't matter, they can still be used even if they die."

"Don't worry, I will become like you and inherit everything from you."

"I've already prepared a method to preserve your memories, so you can go without worry."

"Only I deserve to have such a body!"

"So what if you know I have ill intentions? You're just a powerless piece of trash. Everything you have is given to you by me and the Holy Order."

If Fitch's nerves were constantly stimulated, his body would be unable to move, and his soul would feel as if it were being roasted in purgatory. If he were stimulated by such words again, it would be clear that Fitch was about to kick the bucket.

However, a small figure quietly approached.

"Go to hell, go to hell, leave everything to me, I'll kill everyone outside for you."

Closer, closer.

An Ran reached out to try to push away the thick, compressed air, but she couldn't muster any strength at all.

Berserk.

Even if I went berserk, it was no use; my health was still dropping, down to 3300.

Still unable to move.

But that's enough.

"Ella, make your move!"

Accompanied by a shout from the special channel.

Ella raised the graphite alchemical hammer high above her head, gripped it tightly with both hands, and then swung it down hard.

"Come on, open your heart..."

It's windy.

Ruo's expression didn't even have time to change.
