Zongman: The wrong person on the ground, double Shenwei at the beginning

You idiot, meow!

Kroe was both angry and anxious.

The cat risked its life to save you, but you were so engrossed in watching girls fight that you didn't even care about your own life?!

While it's nice to be able to appreciate the beauty and elegance of cats, it does bring a little joy...hehe...

No, now is not the time to secretly be happy!

You idiot Rod, that shrew over there waving that terrifying fist really wants to kill you, so watch your step, meow!

Don't assume that all assassins who take on jobs are as kind as cats!

Rosie desperately wanted to shout for Rhodes to run away, but she was also afraid that the cunning-looking black fist in front of her would turn his attack on Rhodes instead.

With that guy's current stats, he absolutely couldn't withstand such a terrifying punch!

There's no other way, I'll just have to see this through!

Kroe gritted her teeth, swiftly withdrew her dagger, and deftly twisted her body, making a mocking face at Lunova.

"Damn underground boxing, come and chase me if you dare!"

With a flicker, Kroy disappeared among the ruins of the alleyway.

At the same time, two clones formed from magical energy materialized and dispersed to the left and right, escaping separately from her main body.

Runova's lips twitched slightly, her fists clenched, and she cursed the black cat's cunning in her heart as she faced this troublesome illusion magic.

"It's really troublesome!"

Out of the corner of her eye, Lunova glanced at Rhodes, who was still standing in the same spot. Her brows furrowed slightly, then quickly relaxed.

So that's how it is. Although you saw that the two of us were arguing, after discovering the deceptive nature of the Black Cat Illusion Magic, you were worried that if you rashly ran away, you would be caught and killed?

Lunova quickly imagined Rhodes' "true thoughts" and secretly admired him.

As expected of someone chosen by the Familia of Justice!

He is indeed incredibly meticulous, able to make seemingly unusual but actually the most reasonable move even in such a desperate situation!

That's right, Lunova never actually intended to kill Rhodes!

Today's plan is less about tracking and more about covert protection!

The more she learned about Rhodes, the more she felt that he shouldn't have died.

If he dies, then no one will be left to silently protect the light in the way she admires...

I am burdened with sins and have no right to embrace the light, but let me occasionally experience the feeling of becoming a messenger of justice for free.

You protect the light, and I will protect you.

However, this will only happen once!

After that, we will remain strangers, and if we become enemies again, I will definitely not hold back!

But for now... let me just consider you a temporary partner!

Runova's lips curled up almost imperceptibly. She took a deep breath, roared, and unleashed a powerful aura as she chased after the enemy in one direction.

"Don't even think about running away!"

A breeze blew.

In the blink of an eye, Rhodes was alone again, standing there blankly.

“…”

He blinked in confusion.

"what?"

Rod stroked his chin, utterly puzzled.

"What exactly is going on...?"

"Weren't those two here to assassinate me? Why are they suddenly fighting each other?"

He was prepared to fight back, but they inexplicably started fighting each other.

Rhodes recognized the two assassins as Black Cat and Black Fist, who would become the "Mistress of Abundance" in the original work.

They should have just arrived in Orario at this point in time, and were still taking on assassination and similar assignments.

Therefore, Rhodes was not surprised that they were commissioned to attack him.

There are really not many capable fighters in the dark faction...

Valetta, Witt, Olivas.

These three are well-known officials.

As it turns out, even the strongest of them, Valetta, turned out to be a traitor when it came to dealing with Rhodes...

Erebus wasn't actually without stronger backup plans, but releasing those guys at this point in time just to deal with Rhodes would be a huge loss no matter how you looked at it.

Once Finn becomes alert and takes notice, the great struggle will certainly not achieve the results we imagine!

That "evil god" might adjust his plans based on the fighting strength of the righteous side.

However, the grand scheme of the great rebellion in the original work had already pushed Orario to the brink of annihilation.

If something even bigger comes along, I'm afraid there won't be many left in Orario after it's been baptized!

This completely contradicts his original intention of creating heroes.

Now this one-track mind has blocked both ends.

Rhodes' lips curled up slightly, and he could even guess that Erebus was looking extremely worried and conflicted at this moment.

He probably never imagined that his meticulously prepared plan would be completely ruined because of Rhodes, an outsider.

Meanwhile, Rhodes stood still, quietly waiting for the two women to decide their match, so that he could finally interrogate them about their true thoughts.

At the same time, system notifications kept popping up in my mind like a screen full of notifications.

[Your contractor, Alyssa, has completed an A-rank wish. Congratulations, you have gained 800 wish points.]

[Your contractor, Liu, has completed a Rank B prayer. Congratulations, you have gained 400 prayer points.]

【...】

"Alicie and the others were also attacked, but so far everything seems to be going well."

After the girls were given demi-human blood, Rhodes was not too worried about their safety.

The conspiracies and attacks of those dark factions will all become the foundation for them to improve their abilities.

The crisis caused by the dark faction to the residents will inadvertently prompt the terrified residents to make A-level prayers.

Even Rhodes, who didn't actually go to the scene to contribute, reaped the benefits behind the scenes.

This time, his life served two purposes.

Rhodes is now increasingly convinced that the combination of demi-human bloodline and the grace system is a truly ingenious and perfect match.

When someone with this combination fights against an ordinary enemy, there will only be three possible outcomes.

We've already won, we're winning, and we're about to win.

If we ultimately win, we'll increase our ability stats to pave the way for future upgrades.

Even if you lose, you can be resurrected and start over, gaining combat experience, which is also a victory.

Meanwhile, Rhodes himself can wait in the shadows to reap the rewards of prayers and win remotely.

In summary, we won big.

Rhodes felt a deep sense of gratitude towards these enemies.

If the empire is successfully established in the future, these dark factions who followed one after another will be the most unforgettable heroes!

Rhodes was in a good mood, but Witt, who was watching the whole thing from a distance, was completely insane!

"Heh...hehe...hehehehehe—"

Witt's body trembled violently; his fingertips, shoulders, and even the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.

A series of low, suppressed laughs escaped his throat.

"Hahaha....Hahahahaha—!!!"

The laughter was filled with a chilling self-mockery and sarcasm, as if driven mad by despair.

The laughter grew louder and louder, and he suddenly looked up, as if he could no longer suppress it, and the laughter turned into a wild and manic howl.

"what--!!!"

He gripped his longsword tightly, a blue-black aura erupting from his body as he swung his arm with tremendous force!

Boom!

The sword light suddenly exploded, piercing through the street, and the buildings along the way were cleaved and shattered like building blocks!

Debris flew everywhere, and wooden beams snapped!

The screams and terrified cries of the residents rose and fell, echoing from the ruins.

In the past, such sounds would have brought him genuine pleasure, and the bloody dismembered limbs were the only proof that he was still alive.

Now, all he felt was intense restlessness, like the buzzing of mosquitoes, making him want to cut through all the noise with a sword!

"It's happening again, it's always like this...!!!"

"—Rhodes!!!"

Witt roared to the sky, his voice hoarse and distorted, his teeth clenched so hard they could almost crush his jawbone.

His chest was churning with unspeakable grief, anger, and resentment; his eyes were bloodshot, and his malice and murderous intent almost overwhelmed the entire world!

Everything took a sharp turn for the worse after I met that guy.

Their already unfortunate fate, like dog shit, plunged them into an even deeper quagmire!

Valetta had only grabbed a few people to torture and amuse herself, but she ended up liking Rhodes, who looked like an ordinary person no matter how you looked at him.

She even went so far as to threaten and warn him to protect him, which made him so frustrated that he almost went berserk.

He finally waited until Valeta left the mission, thinking he had a chance to take advantage of the situation. Even if he couldn't physically attack her, he could at least verbally humiliate the annoying guy. But he ended up running into the man trying to escape.

Overjoyed at the unexpected opportunity, he thought he finally had an excuse to kill his opponent, only to be blocked by two foolish members of the Familia of Justice who rushed in!

He initially thought to just let it go, since an ordinary person without any favors or protection couldn't escape the subordinates outside anyway, and letting the soldiers kill him would just avoid conflict with Valetta.

But he didn't expect that guy to suddenly burst out with speed comparable to level 3, and actually broke through the net!

Even more absurdly, during this escape, he happened to run into that important figure, who, for some reason, not only failed to capture Rod but also slaughtered all of Rod's men!

He didn't even dare to go to that person's door to reason with them. Damn it, it was so frustrating!

The situation then spiraled out of control. That guy somehow managed to recruit half of the Loki Familia's strongest members, almost wiping them out on the spot!

If you had that kind of ability, you should have said so earlier!

Having barely escaped the enraged magic of the fairy royal family, he could only clutch his arm and silently lick his wound in the dark, filthy tunnel.

However, fate seemed to be playing a cruel joke on us.

That guy he once looked down on and disregarded not only joined the Astrea Familia, which only accepted women.

He even grew at an incomprehensible speed, single-handedly annihilating the Soma Familia and saving the Dwarfs, gaining fame in Orario, and recently being hailed as a reincarnation of a hero.

The more Witt recalled, the more intense his confusion, jealousy, hatred, and resentment became.

Why should that worthless, weak, and incompetent good-for-nothing have all the happiness he can't have?

It's such a despicable and disgusting injustice that it's as if the whole world loves him!

No, he would never allow it!

Why am I the only one created by the gods as a "defective product"?

Witt had already sworn an oath.
