I, Tsugumi Yuichiro, must do something

"So you did all this?"

Looking at the gap in the wall blocked by Jiguoyuan, Elsa covered her mouth and giggled.

"There's nothing we can do. For the sake of money, we have no choice but to take on some tasks here and there. But speaking of it, our employer really cares about you~"

Jiguo Yuanyi frowned slightly. Last time, he wanted to catch the hunter and ask her who the employer behind the scenes was.

But she had escaped from Reinhard's hands at that time, and now hearing her mention her employer made Yoriichi Tsugikuni feel a little strange.

Emilia's identity is there. She is a candidate for the throne and has the support of the powerful border earl Roswaal.

Ordinary people simply don't have the ability to do anything about it.

Not to mention looking for the existence of the Intestine Hunter, it goes without saying that the commission must be an astronomical figure.

Moreover, Yoriichi Tsugikuni didn't think that with Emilia's kind and gentle personality, she would have such a life-and-death conflict with anyone.

Besides, before the competition officially started, the other candidates had no intention of taking action for the time being.

If I take action at this time and get caught, I will probably become the public enemy of everyone = the candidate.

After thinking about it carefully, things became more and more confusing.

The other party’s so-called target is most likely not Emilia. Emilia is just an excuse and a cover.

But if that's the case...

Tsugikoku Yoshiichi suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Elsa.

This is the second time I've encountered this kind of thing with Emilia.

So if we make a bold assumption that the target is not Emilia, then what is the purpose?

When all possibilities have been eliminated, whatever remains, no matter how impossible it is, is the truth.

Apart from Parker, there were only him and Lai Yueang around Emilia.

If the target was the two of them, then everything would make sense.

Because the two of them are not from this world, but have traveled from other worlds.

To some extent, their appearance should have attracted the attention of certain beings in this world.

Elsa is just a stone used by the mastermind behind the scenes to explore the way.

This was something that Tsugumi Yoshiichi had not expected. There was actually someone in this world who could sense that there was something wrong with him and Lai Yueang.

This has never happened before. Even in Kagome's world, there are many powerful monsters, but none of them can do this.

Then I thought about the puppy-like monster in the village before.

When playing with those children, he behaved very normally.

But after Lai Yueang came, he bit his and Lai Yueang's hands without saying a word and prepared to run away.

From this perspective, the other party’s goal is very clear.

He just wanted to get rid of him and Lai Yueang, two time travelers who did not belong to this world.

"So that's it."

Tsugikuni Yoriichi's voice sounded softly in the forest.

When Elsa heard what Tsugikuni Yoshiichi said, her smiling eyes were stunned for a moment. She recalled what she had just said and realized that she had not leaked any information. She giggled and patted her chest.

The rather large object swayed up and down with the beating.

"You're really dishonest trying to trick me. If I hadn't been so alert, you might have..."

Chapter 39: Meeting Elsa Again

Before Elsa could finish her words, the figure of Yoriichi Tsugakuni suddenly disappeared from her sight.

The moment Erza saw Yoshiichi Tsugakuni disappear, her eyes suddenly shrank to the size of a needle tip.

Although Elsa took the initiative to come out, it seemed like she was provoking Yoriichi Tsugakuni.

But in his heart, he always remained vigilant.

The last time he fought Reinhard, Yoriichi Tsugakuni only managed to block her attack once.

However, from the details of Tsugikuni Yoriichi's attack, it can be seen that this is definitely not a weak person, but a strong person who she needs to be wary of.

But even though she was alert in her heart, Elsa still didn't expect that Yoshiichi Tsugikuni would act so suddenly.

Moreover, compared with the last time, the speed shown by Ji Guoyuanyi now is far beyond what it could be compared with the last time.

Originally, Elsa just wanted to come out and delay Yoriichi Tsugakuni for a while.

Although Leon was protected by a barrier, in Elsa's eyes, it was obviously difficult for him to hold out for too long under the attack of so many monsters.

As long as she can delay Jiguo Yuanyi a little bit, Lai Yueang will definitely not be able to escape.

However, the plan is indeed very good, but Tsugikuni Yoshiichi is extremely decisive.

Elsa waved her hand, and a dagger suddenly appeared in her hand.

Without even turning his head, he chopped fiercely behind him. At the same time, the tall figure bent forward with his waist as if it had no bones.

Just after Elsa completed this series of actions, the figure of Yoriichi Tsugakuni appeared behind Elsa.

If it were someone else, they would probably choose to block Elsa's knife first.

However, when facing Elsa's knife, Ji Guoyuan didn't even frown, and let it hit him directly.

However, the Sun Blade in his hand went straight towards Erza, with a fighting style of exchanging injury for injury.

Elsa, who bent down to try to avoid Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's attack, turned her head slightly to see this scene, and a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of her mouth.

However, before the smile could spread across his lips, it froze.

The dagger in her hand hit Ji Guoyuan's body without him dodging or evading.

However, the feeling of the blade touching the flesh was completely different from the feeling of the blade cutting through flesh in the past.

The knife hit Tsugikoku Yoriichi's body as if it was hitting a stone.

Elsa could even hear the sound of metal clashing when Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's body collided with the blade.

"Is there armor hidden under the clothes?"

This was the first thought that flashed through Elsa's mind. However, after seeing clearly what was going on, Elsa realized how naive her thoughts were.

Or to be more precise, it is about how huge the gap between himself and Yoriichi Tsugikuni is.

A faint white light was now emanating from the surface of Yoriichi Tsugikuni's body.

Elsa was not unfamiliar with this light, because she had seen it just now when Tsugumi Yoshiichiro blocked the gap with the barrier.

"The barrier is on my body!?"

Elsa couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. In her opinion, a barrier like Leyon's was already a bit outrageous. After all, it was different from the barriers in this world.

The barrier that Jigoku Yoshiichi set up for Lai Yueang and the others can actually be moved.

But now, Elsa realized that it was nothing at all. The barrier on Ji Guoyuan's body was the most jaw-dropping existence.

As a killer, Elsa believed that she had seen a lot.

But she had never seen or heard of anyone casting a magic barrier that could attach directly to their body for defense.

To put it a little exaggeratedly, if this matter were to be spread, it would definitely cause an uproar in the whole world.

Is the magician strong?

That is certainly strong, but while the magician is powerful, he still cannot avoid being weak.

Just like the settings in countless low-quality online games, the magician's attack is very powerful, but his self-defense ability is not very good.

Flying is the greatest self-protection ability. After all, as long as you fly high enough, there will be almost no threat from the ground.

But what about Lin Yu?

This guy actually put the barrier on himself. Elsa really felt that her three views were overturned.

They say that when fighting a wizard, it doesn't matter whether it's a skirmish or something, just don't fight a positional battle.

Once the magician is prepared, the battle will basically be a foregone conclusion.

Just like Roswaal's mansion, even Elsa, a top killer who can fight with Reinhard, doesn't dare to break in like this.

Who knows whether those wizards who delve into magic will set up some strange magic traps in their own mansions.

The barrier, as a kind of extremely strong but immovable defensive entity, is also the most common method used by wizards to protect their homes.

But as for being able to release the barrier on herself, Elsa believed that as long as this horrifying news spread, it would cause a huge sensation.

By then, a bunch of wizards will probably not be like they are now, hiding far away and casting magic in every battle.

I guess those wizards, each with a barrier on their body, rushed into the battlefield, wishing they could stuff the fireball directly into your mouth!

After Elsa's sword attack failed, she completely gave up the idea of continuing to fight with Yoriichi Tsugakuni.

There's absolutely no way to fight this!

Although I don’t know how Yoriichi Tsugakuni did it, but who can beat you when you are under a barrier?

She spoke as if she didn't know how strong the barrier was.

The barrier didn't even shake when the sword was chopped down with such great force. It was estimated that even if Ji Guoyuan stood still and let her chop him, it would be difficult to break the defense.

It was just a good idea in Elsa's mind, but after letting her escape last time, Tsugikuni Yoriichi was obviously not going to let her go this time.

"Pfft!"

The Sun Blade pierced through Erza's soft abdomen, nailing her deeply to the ground.

"Who is your employer?"

"I can't tell you this, otherwise I won't be able to get any missions in the future."

Even though she was nailed to the ground, Elsa still maintained her charming smile, even though her face was covered with dust.

"Your target shouldn't be Emilia, but me and that boy, right?"

Chapter 40: The Mastermind Behind Everything

When Elsa heard what Yoriichi Tsugikuni said, the charming smile on her face paused slightly, and then she smiled even more brightly.

"I didn't expect you to be such a narcissistic person."

Even though Elsa has now become a fish on the chopping board, she still does not show any fear of death in front of Yoriichi Tsugikuni.

Looking at Elsa's eyes, Jiguo Yuanyi frowned slightly.

In his hundreds of years of life, Yoshikazu Tsugumi has come into contact with countless people.

But when facing death, many people will feel fear, not because of weak will or anything else.

This is just an instinctive reaction of a living thing, but there is no trace of this reaction in Elsa's eyes at all.

Even when facing Muzan Kibutsuji, who had super regenerative abilities, this situation did not happen.

"It seems that you must have the ability to face death without fear, otherwise you would not be like this."

Elsa's expression once again became a little stiff.

Although after coming into contact with Yoshikazu Tsugakuni, to a certain extent, the oppressive feeling brought to her by the two was similar.

But there is one thing that is very different between Yoriichi Tsugikuni and Reinhardt.

That's the eyes.

Reinhardt's eyes were firm and pure, so clear that no bad thoughts or emotions could be felt.

Ji Guoyuan's look also possessed these characteristics, but the flavor contained in it was different from that of Reinhardt.

It was as if he had experienced countless things in the world, as if nothing could escape the eyes of Yoriichi Tsugakuin.

In Elsa's perception, when Ji Guoyuan looked at her, it was as if he had seen through her completely.

Any secret in the heart seems difficult to hide.

Yoriichi Tsugikuni noticed the change in Elsa's expression.
