King of Fighters, I became Mai Shiranui's lifelong enemy

Mai Zhuo even forgot the anger of losing the first verbal argument and became visibly panicked.

Only Storm Goenitz, Ves, and herself knew that she taught Rugal the moves.

The three of them are all loyal to the Eight Great Sages of Orochi. They are willing to sacrifice their lives to resurrect Orochi. It is impossible for anyone to leak the secret!

Moreover, the power of the great snake that was about to explode was suppressed by Wu Ji's tyranny. What kind of high-purity power system is this that can be more noble than the power of the embodiment of the earth's will - the great snake?

Mai Zhuo was confused and at a loss.

Originally, there would be no problem as long as Wu Ji was killed.

But when she found out that she was no match for Wu Ji, all her problems became fatal knives.

Wu Ji didn't even possess the three divine weapons, but his strength was terrifyingly strong, and the information he knew far exceeded his own.

What on earth does he want to do!!!

Mai Zhuo felt a shadow hidden in the darkness covering him, and bared his fangs at the snake clan.

"If you don't come over, then I'll have to get closer to you."

Wu Ji smiled and approached Mai Zhuo step by step.

"You...you don't come over..."

Mai Zhuo, who was able to easily defeat the protagonist of 94, Kyo Kusanagi, actually showed the helpless attitude of a weak little girl facing a thug in front of Wu Ji's face. Her legs couldn't stop retreating, and she tried every means to stay away from this man.

Her back pressed against the cold steel wall, her heels made a crisp sound against the steel plate, and her lower back pressed against the protruding rivets on the pipe. She knew she had nowhere to retreat.

"Wait... wait a minute..."

With his head pressed against the wall, Mai Zhuo, who was about to be pushed against the wall, made a final effort.

Mai Zhuo suddenly raised her swan-like neck, her eyelashes trembling with water. "Only...as long as I agree to be your secretary...and do that for you...can you...can you let me go? I...I'm not ready yet."

She showed a smile that was uglier than crying and tried her best to please Wu Ji.

Some things, once they happen, are really more painful than killing her.

As one of the Eight Great Warriors of the Orochi Clan, even if Mai Zhuo dies, he will only enter a dormant state and will be reincarnated in a few decades.

Their clan cannot die completely.

But if that was the case... Mai Zhuo felt that no matter how many times he reincarnated, he would never be able to let it go.

Wu Ji smiled happily and said generously, "Ah~ Of course, I always keep my word... As long as you agree, you will find that I am very easy to talk to."

"Really...really? Can you really let me go?" Mai Zhuo looked pitiful, and his fingers unconsciously tugged at his collar, revealing an even more beautiful snow-white scenery.

"Yes, be at ease and offer me your loyalty..."

Wu Ji's deep voice was full of magnetism, tempting the blonde beauty to give up resistance.

However, Mai Zhuo, who was showing a coquettish smile, suddenly became serious in a second. His facial features were clearly defined, and a series of "gogogogogo" symbols of unknown meaning seemed to appear on his forehead.

"But I refuse!"

The moment Wu Ji's pupils contracted, Mai Zhuo's lips curled up in a sarcastic arc.

"How dare you think that!"

Her body suddenly fell backwards, and a secret door suddenly appeared in the solid steel wall. Mai Zhuo stepped back and escaped at the fastest speed in her life.

The speed granted by the "beast" ability is her most proud strength, and the surrender just now was just a show to escape.

Now the time is ripe to slip away and go back to report.

"I was just kidding~"

Her red lips formed a mocking mouth shape.

"We, the Great Snake Clan, will never surrender to a bunch of lowly bugs like you!"

"Wu Ji! Just wait to be buried in the belly of the fish along with this Black Noah! You small fry, hahaha~"

The giggles faded away, and the secret door closed the moment Mai Zhuo entered, cutting off Wu Ji's possibility of pursuit.

Wu Ji looked at his empty right hand, tilted his head, and laughed in silence.

It was a bit of a miscalculation.

I really didn't expect that Mai Zhuo, this bad woman, would actually use the "Da Ga Kou Wa Lu" routine. Isn't this a trick that the protagonists play on the villains?

"Am I really the villain? That's not right. Why do I think the Orochi clan should be the villains?"

"I'm a hero who saved the world. Villains like Mai Zhuo should be arrested and taught a lesson."

……

On the other side, Nikaido Benimaru and his group came to a room.

They had been walking for more than ten minutes but couldn't get out of the maze-like interior of the aircraft carrier.

Hongwan and Daimon also tried to attack the steel wall, but how could they break through the aircraft carrier-level defense?

"Ahem, ahem, I'm fine, don't worry about me."

Kyo Kusanagi coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood and broke free from Benimaru's support.

After Athena's treatment, the injuries of him and his father were no longer serious. Kusanagi Shibato was placed in a secret place to rest, while the others continued to look for a way out.

After treating the two, Athena still looked lost, with her head down and fists clenched, following them silently.

And now no one cared about her condition.

The most urgent thing is to find a way to escape.

Hong Wan took the lead and opened the door of the room.

"Sigh~"

“So many people…that’s not right!”

"What's this!"

"Disgusting!"

After opening the door, the scene they saw made their scalps tingle and a chill ran from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads.

Countless 1:1 restored bronze statues are densely packed inside this room, emitting a disgusting and strange smell.

Each of these bronze statues looks like a muscular fighter, and their realistic faces make it seem as if they were made of living people doused in copper liquid!

Countless pairs of lifeless and resentful eyes stared at the group of unexpected visitors.

"No, that's not right... These people are the fighters who disappeared earlier!"

“They’re all here!”

Before the KOF tournament, rumors of a famous fighter disappearing would occasionally appear internationally.

Now it seems that they have been made into statues? ! ! !

"Welcome to... my art gallery."

Lucard, who was sitting in the middle, was wearing a blood-red suit and smiled very gentlemanly.

Chapter 52: Rugal, the Figure Maniac

Lucard grew up in a noble family. His flowing golden hair was a symbol of his bloodline, and his every move carried an aristocratic air.

He is an arms dealer, and an extremely powerful arms dealer.

Not only does he have a large number of private armed forces, he even owns an aircraft carrier called "Black Noah".

You should know that there are only twelve or thirteen countries in the world that have active aircraft carriers, and most of them only have one.

His family wealth is enough to make the overlord of South Town, Gis, and the emperor of the dark world, Klausa, ashamed.

But as a nobleman, Lucard has a barbaric and vulgar hobby - fighting.

He once challenged world-class fighting masters such as Gis and Krauser, and secretly learned their fighting skills during the battle.

He could learn Gis's "Gas Fist" and Krauser's "Caesar Wave" as soon as he saw them.

His talent in martial arts is even more terrifying than his family fortune.

But when Lucar was 25 years old, he met an enemy that still makes him shudder when he thinks about it today - Goenitz!

After being defeated in three moves, Goenitz gouged out his right eye and gave him a drop of "blood of the great snake" to be placed in his empty right eye socket.

From then on, Lucard became more and more brutal, challenging the best fighters in the world. After winning, he would make his opponents into human-shaped statues and keep them as his own collection.

KOF94 was organized by him to select the strongest fighter and then make the most perfect sculpture.

Now... a new challenger has come to him.

"Look around, these are all fighters who were defeated by me..."

"Of course, you will become like this in a while."

Lucard swirled his red wine glass, admiring the "new collections" that had entered the room.

“Become my favorite!”

"You must be joking, you perverted uncle!"

After all, he was just a young man with a strong will. When Kenshou Shii saw such an evil act happening in front of him, he could not bear it for a moment and rushed forward using his signature moves.

"Special Move: Dragon Fang!"

The strong wind caused by the flying kick overturned several sculptures next to Lugal.

"careful!"

Just as Benimaru and the others exclaimed, they saw that Kensho Shibata's decisive kick did not even hit the enemy and was easily defeated by Rugal.

Rugal, who is nearly two meters tall, grabbed Kensou's leg and held it in his hand like a chicken.

He pulled the corner of his mouth and said disappointedly, "So weak? Did I kill all the powerful fighters in this world?"

"How on earth did this kid make it to the finals?"

If all the players who made it to the KOF finals only had this kind of ability, he would really be disappointed.

Only the strongest fighter is worthy of becoming his "figure".

“Damn it!!! Let me go!” Kenshou Shii was hanging upside down in the air, struggling desperately.

He raised his hands to his chest and called upon his superpowers and energy.

"Special Move: Ultra Ball...Ah!"

The super power ball that had just been gathered was crushed by Rugal with one hand, and then the five fingers that were holding Kensho's legs and feet suddenly retracted!

The boy's ankle made a crisp sound like a walnut cracking, and his leg bones broke with a "crack".

"Ughhhhhh!!!"

Kenshou Shii's screams were heart-wrenching, and the others attacked him together.

"Special Move: Hundred Eight Styles: Dark Blow!"

"Special move: Psycho Ball!"

"Ultimate move: Lightning Fist!"

The three of them each used their own signature moves, and under their cover, Goro Daimon approached Rugal and tried to rescue Kensou Shii.

Red flames suddenly burned an S-shaped trajectory on the ground, and the lightning fist rushed towards Lugal's chest, and the pink mental power ball went straight to his forehead.

Flames, lightning, and psychic balls attacked Lugal from three directions, cutting off all his possibilities of dodging.

As for Kensou Shii who was in his hand...he wouldn't die from a few hits anyway, so he didn't care about it.

"That's interesting."

Lucard tugged at the corner of his mouth into a sinister grin, with one arm crossed.

"Special move: Dark Barrier!"

The dark green gaseous shield suddenly condensed in his hand.

Whether it was flames, lightning or superpower balls, the moment they hit the dark green barrier, they all changed direction and attacked their owners in the opposite direction of the path they came from.

"what?"
