The black figure was about to say something, but suddenly shut his mouth and turned to look at a tall building behind him. In the darkness, a light was shining in the night sky. The dazzling light illuminated every corner around, and the blond knight was raising his sword.
He was shocked and had the idea of retreating. If Margaret Linguang was added, it would be very troublesome for him. The strength of that little girl was already incomparable. With these two people present at the same time, he couldn't kill any of them. Staying here any longer would be futile.
Accompanied by a burst of black mist, he disappeared on the top of the signal tower in the blink of an eye, and at the same time, two black ice spears deeply penetrated into the metal pole, and large balls of ice spikes burst out in all directions, sealing the entire signal tower inside. The entire top floor turned into an icy hell, and the extreme cold of Ursus instantly descended on the land of Casimir.
"What a powerful spell."
He appeared on the top of another building and looked at the white-haired Carters girl. If he hadn't reacted in time, the battle would have been over.
He no longer had the will to fight and began to look around for a chance to escape. He didn't know how many people were lying in ambush here. He was a killer, not one of those stupid and clumsy knights, and he couldn't handle such a battle.
But at this moment, he suddenly saw the Carters girl smiled at him. Before he could react, she pointed at her feet.
"what?!"
Boom boom boom......
Along with the loud noise of the concrete floor being torn apart and the crisp sound of the ice freezing, a terrifying black ice layer rose from the ground like a waterfall flowing backwards, wrapping him tightly inside like a few giant pythons, and then burst out a large number of ice spikes, tightening and crushing him fiercely.
A large amount of broken ice fell from the behemoth. But Yelena frowned. The next moment, the black arrow pierced through the ice, creating a large number of cracks and bringing a person out at the same time. The moment he landed, he rolled awkwardly. The extreme cold that penetrated into his bones made his whole body stiff. Then he stood up and started to run for his life.
“I knew it wouldn’t be that simple.”
Xintelaiya wanted to catch up, but the blond knight stepped on the ground, leaving deep cracks, and turned into a real stream of light, as if carrying wings made of light. In the blink of an eye, he caught up with the other party.
"Don't worry, he can't run away."
The knight's resolute voice echoed in the air.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
The knight in silver armor looked at the moon in the sky. It was already late at night. Even in this city, the noise began to fade.
"I have been waiting for you here for a while. Why don't you come out and say hello? It's so impolite to sneak away like this."
The shining lightning spear pierced through two tall buildings in succession, causing a figure to jump out in panic. He was like a fallen leaf in the air, without any force, and landed lightly on another tall building.
Seeing his opponent showing his weakness before they even started fighting, Claude laughed from his helmet, the black tassels fluttering in the darkness.
"Sir, please say hello to me."
PS: I always feel like I will be backstabbed by Eagle Point in the future. (°`°〃)
Casimir's New Chapter: Chapter 159 The Dust Settles
The current situation is very dangerous, yes, very dangerous, he confirmed in his heart.
The aura of the Silver Spear Pegasus had locked onto him, making him dare not move at all. In the calm air, there were subtle arcs of electricity rubbing against his hair and jumping on his clothes. It seemed that neither of them had made any radical moves, but they knew in their hearts that once they took action, it would be earth-shattering.
The two guys had not been heard from for 20 minutes. After he shot the third prey of the night, he suddenly found the Silver Spear Pegasus. Out of curiosity and caution, he stopped to observe for a while, trying to figure out what the Silver Spear Pegasus was doing here instead of defending the border.
This action would make him regret it several minutes later and he wanted to slap himself twice. When the two powerful lightning spears forced him out, he realized that the other party was coming for him. And he was so stupid that he hid less than 30 meters away from the other party for a long time.
And judging from the way the other party attacked, it was very likely that they were the powerful characters in the Silver Spear Pegasus, and I might not be able to deal with them. And those two guys hadn't made any movement for such a long time, so it was very likely that...
There must be other guys with bad intentions in the city. We can’t stay here anymore. Let’s take the money and run away.
…………
Although he had made up his mind, he still didn't dare to expose his back to Claude. The moment he turned around, the knight might shoot him.
So the atmosphere fell silent, Xuantie didn't speak, and Claude didn't say anything either.
After a few minutes, Xuantie, who was becoming more and more panicked, could no longer stay there and spoke tentatively.
"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first?!"
"Actually, there is something wrong."
Claude couldn't hold it anymore.
"Don't look at me like this. I actually have to go to work tomorrow, so I can't stay up late. You understand, right?!"
"You are worrying too much. My intention is to kill you. Your boss will not blame you tomorrow. He will not deduct your salary either."
The postscript of the eagle's successor written by the world-weary Xinzhong is completed
…………
The black figure suddenly stood up, stretched comfortably, and then said lazily:
"Of course I know, but you don't have a chance, Master Knight. Didn't you notice that I'm not my real self here? I've been running for a while. I don't want to play with you anymore. Goodbye~~~"
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure quickly faded away, like black ink diluted by clean water, and disappeared without a trace in the air.
For a moment, Claude was the only one here, and it seemed that his plan had failed.
But Claude just shook his head gently, and suppressed laughter came out from under the visor of his helmet.
"Nice trick, but you can't fool me."
The shrill sword light seemed to separate heaven and earth, and the attic next to it was split in two in an instant. Even the spire of a building behind it was hit by the disaster. The severed top of the tower rushed down along the smooth cross section, and after a delay of 3 to 5 seconds, it landed heavily on the street, making a loud noise that shook the earth.
A black figure was standing next to the severed wall in an extremely strange posture. The clothes on his arms and shoulders had been neatly cut off. His whole body was stiff, as if he had been frozen in a freezer for more than ten days.
Cold sweat began to continuously emerge from his pale skin, and soon soaked his mask. If he had not performed this difficult move in an instant, he would have been cut in half from head to toe. He could not understand how the other party could see it. He was standing behind this guy, hesitating whether to attack him by surprise, and now he even wanted to die.
"Very powerful Originium technique, huh? ...Are you a Sarkaz? This is rare, so it's not surprising. No wonder you have such a strange spell."
Looking at this guy's pale skin and scarlet eyes, he is actually a rare blood demon... Maybe it's not too rare for him, and this guy is really unlucky.
Mercy's fan-shaped sword tip was against his neck, ready to press down like a guillotine and cut off his head at any time. And this was the real reason why the opponent did not dare to move without permission. The sword blade was constantly hissing and trembling desperately. The sharp blade had already torn the opponent's skin, and it was eager for further progress and the hot blood gushing out of the carotid artery.
This forced Claude to hold the sword tightly, otherwise he suspected that the sword might cut off his head by itself.
"Big Brother...! Can we discuss this?"
The blood demon in front of him wisely threw his crossbow aside. The sound of the precisely constructed sight hitting the ground made him feel so painful that he almost bled. But now was the critical moment for his life, so he couldn't care about it.
"If you hadn't played these little tricks and had fought me seriously, I wouldn't have been able to catch you so easily. Is this the nature of you blood demons? Are your personalities so erratic?"
"Can you please stop talking about other things? My blood is almost gone! Brother, can you please move this away? How did you get it? I have been looking for this thing for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be in your hands."
"...You recognize this sword? That's great. I'm also curious. Tell me about its origin."
Claude was really curious now, someone actually knew the origin of this sword. But looking at the blood-red lines spreading on the sword like blood vessels, he still pulled his blade back two centimeters, letting the blade leave the wound on his neck.
The Blood Demon held his neck with great effort, and when he put his hands down, the wound had healed as before.
"What a loss! It will take me many years to make up for this loss... Actually, I don't know the name of this sword. I didn't even know it was a sword. When I was a mercenary, I got a tattered parchment scroll. Most of the words on it have been lost, but I happened to recognize it. It mentioned this thing in the scroll, saying only that it was a sinful metal, nothing else."
"Sinful metal... If you don't know what it looks like, how did you recognize it?"
"Of course it's because of my body's instinct! I was almost scared to death when you pulled out the sword just now. This is also the only reason I looked for it. If I had known that you had this thing in your hand, I would have packed up and run away this morning, leaving those two guys to deal with you on their own."

"I also believed the nonsense of that thing. It also said that if this evil metal absorbs enough souls and blood, it will undergo a transformation. Could it be that it will become this sword? Then I am already too late. Then what have I been doing for so many years and spending so much money?"
"I should have run away long ago. A shady company exploited my labor... I own the company, so it's fine."
…………
The blood demon seemed to be frightened. As soon as Claude let him go, he chattered on for a long time, leaving Claude no chance to interrupt. After he finally calmed down, Claude spoke:
"If nothing unexpected happens, your two companions should have been dealt with by now. What should I do with you? ...It seems that letting you go will cause me trouble. After all, you are a great killer. If you attack us secretly, it will cause us a lot of losses."
The blood demon's pale face suddenly collapsed, and he said loudly with an exaggerated expression:
"Why would I bother you, big brother? There's no money to be made. I'm a killer, not a lunatic. Do I have to avenge those two guys? We're all killers, so we should be aware of our fate. Besides, even if someone paid me to kill you, I wouldn't come!! Only idiots would come!!"
"That makes sense, but I can't come here for nothing, so how much do you want to pay?"
"ah??!"
"Don't play dumb. Didn't I just tell you about the killer's self-awareness? You don't think I'll let you go, do you?"
"Aren't you a knight? I thought..."
"Knights have to eat too...so how much are you offering?"
"Three...three million?"
"Not enough, add some more."
"Brother, what is your psychological expectation...? How much do you think I should add?"
"Just add two zeros to the end and it'll be about the same."
"3...3 million!! Where do I get that much money? You can't even raise it even if you sell me!"
"Once those two guys die, won't the Wuzhou League go bankrupt? I don't believe that you are such a big organization and you don't have this money. Otherwise, how did you survive here? And don't tell me that as the leader of Xuantie, you don't have the right to mobilize funds?"
"Yeah! It's going to go bankrupt anyway!! Those two guys are dead too, I can put all the money into my... No, that's not right, it's yours, big brother, I'll transfer the money to you now, but can I... with the remaining money?"
"Give me my share, and I won't ask for the rest."
"Brother is indeed an open-minded person! Hehe! Then I will take action."
Under the bright moonlight, the two figures actually had a sense of collusion, and with the obscene laughter of one of them, the Great Knight led a huge flow of funds to quickly transfer into several accounts without alarming anyone. He unilaterally announced the bankruptcy of the No Heroes Alliance, a subsidiary organization of the Commercial Federation.
…………
"Then bro, I'm leaving? I'm really leaving! I'm leaving!"
After seeing Claude nod, he quickly picked up his crossbow from the ground and disappeared in the distant floor in the blink of an eye, but left behind a burst of wild laughter.
"We've made a ton of money! We've made a ton of money!! Hurry up and leave, or you'll be caught and beaten to death..."
Claude was left alone here and began to doubt the Sarkaz people, especially the blood demon's mental state. This suspicion was aggravated by comparing them with the two blood demons in Rhodes Island.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
He swung the sword and spear in his hand rapidly, and the spear blade deflected a flying arrow steadily. Feeling the much weaker force than before, Margaret was certain in her heart that she knew her opponent was exhausted.
The shadow in front of him rushed left and right, and from time to time he would turn around and shoot an arrow to smash the buildings that blocked his way. Margaret could not always dodge, and every time she blocked it, she would retreat a dozen steps, using this method to buy time for herself to escape.
The white-haired Kuranta girl ran on the wall. This gravity-defying movement was caused by the inertia brought by her extremely fast speed. While running, the longbow in her hand was still firmly aimed at the escaping Xuantie throne, as if the upper and lower bodies were separated and would not affect each other at all.
The black light wrapped around the arrow, and as the fingers loosened, the arrow approached the opponent silently. But the black shadow running at high speed turned around and shot an arrow, hitting the incoming arrow accurately. The kinetic energy of the collision canceled each other out, and the two arrows exploded into pieces in the air, falling to the ground one after another.
But the black shadow's escape movement obviously paused for a moment, which shortened the distance between them again.
…………
A black wall suddenly rose up in front of him, blocking the entire street at an extremely fast speed. The biting cold made his whole body ache again. He was unable to react for a moment and crashed into the black ice wall fiercely, leaving huge cracks on it. The recoil also made him fall to the ground and roll twice.
He was now truly exhausted. He had been caught off guard by the sorcerer's ambush and had already suffered serious injuries. Running all the way had made his injuries worse. He even felt his fingers trembling and was not sure if he could still draw the bow.
There were only five arrows left in the quiver, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes. Every killer could have imagined that this day would come. He could only blame himself for being stupid. Years of success had made him lose the keen intuition he had when he first started this profession. And it only took one mistake to cost a killer's life.
He took out a potion from his arms and was about to inject it into his arm when a black arrow accurately shattered it.
In desperation, he gritted his teeth, put the arrow on the bow, stretched the bow with all his strength, looked at the sharp gun tip that gradually filled his vision, and viciously shot the last arrow of his life.
The spear blade pierced his chest easily. After all, he was not a knight, and in order to ensure his flexibility, he did not wear heavy armor. The sharp spear tip and the gradually thick spear body tore his chest completely, tearing his lungs and heart into pieces, but he tried his best to open his eyes and look at the arrow he shot.
Time slowed down, and the slender black arrow slowly approached the chest of the blonde knight. It would then tear open the not-so-thick breastplate and pierce through her heart... gradually tearing open the white robe, revealing the steel breastplate underneath.
Then, in his puzzled eyes, the breastplate suddenly lit up with golden lines. The countless intricate patterns allowed the solid black arrow to penetrate only a little bit, creating an insignificant mark on the breastplate before being easily bounced off.
…………
The arrow flew into the sky and then fell to the ground, easily piercing through the ground. The slightly trembling tail still told of its owner's unwillingness.
A ray of morning light dyed it golden, and the morning sun finally peeked out from the side of the mountain, spreading its light to the earth.
Casimir's New Chapter: Chapter 161: Changes
The mobile city is still the same, everyone is doing their own thing, office workers are still squeezing into the subway, workers are still building the city, sanitation workers are still cleaning up the garbage everywhere... Everything is moving forward in an orderly manner, step by step, and on its own track. After all, everyone has their own life, and in order to continue their life, they cannot easily change their lifestyle.
But changes did happen, but ordinary civilians could not know about them. The elders of the Business Federation woke up early in the morning and found that the Wuzhou League was dead in name only. Two of the three Xuantie died in battle and one was missing. Only the low-level members were left in the Wuzhou League. The worst thing was that all the funds they gave to the Wuzhou League disappeared. There was no way to find out where they went. The whole organization had become an empty shell, leaving only the leaderless killers at a loss.
So, the high-rise building that had been vacant for several years finally saw movement again. It was still the same process. After being carefully cleaned by a special person, members of the Chamber of Commerce, protected by a large number of knights, came here one after another. The strong wind brought by the high-speed rotation of the aircraft's propellers made the various precious vegetation here sway constantly. The fully armed knights stared at all the suspicious things around them with murderous intent, and the reflection of the swords made the surrounding temperature drop.
The atmosphere in the room was extremely depressing. The members were wary of each other, wondering who was behind this. Yes, even at this time, they were still suspicious of each other. The Business Federation was not a close-knit organization. It was a collection of businessmen with its own limitations. Especially when faced with a fundamental crisis like this, its poor organizational ability was infinitely magnified.
Soon, with one member taking the lead in making trouble, the entire meeting room fell into a vortex of quarrels. Members argued with each other, shirked responsibility, and questioned each other. Everyone quarreled for their own interests.
Even if there are one or two people with a little prestige who try to unify the situation and quell the dispute, they will immediately be targeted by others. After all, in this organization, everyone has equal status, and it is difficult for one person to truly organize everyone. Normally, the reason why they can control the entire Casimir is because of their huge size and control over the economic lifeline of the entire country. Now they are faced with a situation where they are not talking about economics but physics, and they are all panicked.
All this was within Claude's expectations. After all, this group of businessmen had not yet truly implemented a monopoly in Casimir and had not yet unleashed the true power of capitalism. Their organizational structure was still extremely loose, which meant that they had many fatal flaws.
What really troubled Claude was never the destruction of the Commercial Federation, but how to change the country of Casimir without causing any unrest. If possible, Claude would rather use a peaceful way to change the country, after all, this is his homeland in this life.
Now all we need to do is let the incident develop over time and let the already fragile trust between members of the Chamber of Commerce break down amid mutual suspicion.
