Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

Albert watched the boy leave, feeling mixed emotions.

He had originally made up his mind to dedicate his entire life to the Feiqi family and repay Lord Feiqi for his kindness, but now, he no longer knew what to do.

——(In order to protect the secret of the Son of God...how many more people will have to die...hehe...)

——(Lord Scarlet, Elder Red and Black, you have been unkind to me, so I can only be unjust to you...)

Albert closed his eyes and sighed to the sky.

It is not easy to take revenge on the Feiqi family on your own.

At this moment, Albert vaguely sensed a breath appearing behind him, but before he could react, the burning pain instantly cut off his neck.

The pain lasted only a moment, and then he felt his body suddenly disappear. Then, he felt as if his body had returned, but it was just falling continuously.

Albert struggled hard, but he could not control his hands and feet. In a trance, he saw his body standing in the distance, but his head was gone, and a strange blue flame was burning on the broken neck.

Then Albert fell heavily to the ground and rolled twice.

In Albert's last vision, he saw the young man running away and had already run seven or eight meters away.

Only then did Albert realize that it was the boy who chopped off his head from behind. This guy had been deceiving him from the beginning!!!

However, Albert couldn't understand. He had already watched the boy walk away from eight or nine meters away. How did he come behind him in an instant?

Even if I had closed my eyes and relaxed a bit, it was impossible for me not to have noticed it at all, unless... unless the boy... could... instantly...

The moment life disappears, thinking comes to an abrupt end.

Albert never thought that he would be killed so "easily".

6.9 - Ghost outside the window

Jiang Ran ran more than fifty meters in one breath before stopping.

The reason he stopped was not because he felt he was far enough away, but because a prompt message appeared in his field of vision.

——『Successfully killed "Cursed Sword User - Lv73", Class Experience +182500, Current Experience Value 182500/4800』

Albert died and Jiang Ran succeeded.

Immediately, a large number of upgrade prompts kept popping up, and it continued until 17 of them stopped.

——『Upgrade conditions are met. [Shadow Killer - Lv21] automatically upgrades to [Shadow Killer - Lv38]. Current experience value is 4300/15600』

The huge amount of experience gained from defeating Albert allowed Jiang Ran to level up 17 levels in one go. Correspondingly, his various stats all improved to varying degrees.

━━━━━━━━━━

Health: 2300 + 40↑

Stamina: 1502 + 55↑

Mana: 4530 + 30↑

Strength: 230 + 4↑

Dexterity: 252 + 35↑

Wisdom: 453 + 3↑

━━━━━━━━━━

From the changes in the data, it can be seen that after Jiang Ran advanced to become a "Shadow Killer", the upgrade benefits of the combat profession increased, but compared with the upgrade benefits of skills, it is still far behind.

However, Jiang Ran's mind was not on these attribute values ​​at the moment. The tension brought about by the assassination attempt on Albert was still lingering in his mind.

If it weren't for the protection of the "Fearless Heart", Jiang Ran didn't think he could have accurately completed that life-threatening attack.

The actual benefits of "Fearless Heart" in battle far exceeded Jiang Ran's expectations.

·

If there were uninformed spectators present, they might think that Jiang Ran won very easily and the battle was over in an instant.

But in fact, until he confirmed that Albert was dead, Jiang Ran felt that every second was like a year.

Whether it was the exhausting battle of wits or the life-and-death duel in the last second, Jiang Ran felt that what he gained from it was no less than the previous battle with the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon.

In order to avoid repeating the mistake in the "predicting future death scene", Jiang Ran had no intention of fighting from the beginning.

He knew in his heart that only by defeating Albert first in a battle of wits would he have a chance to escape unscathed.

Ever since the first time he saw Albert, Jiang Ran has never stopped using mind reading to monitor his inner thoughts.

During the conversation in the woods, Jiang Ran used all the intelligence he had, activated the "Trickster" to increase the persuasive effect, brought out his most vivid acting skills to date, and used various psychological hints and guidance. Finally, he struggled to figure out the details of the skill "Going to the Underworld Together".

What was dramatic was that at that time, Jiang Ran got a new option. He and Albert could go their separate ways, and no one would die tonight.

If Jiang Ran had not had those painful experiences before, he might have really let Albert go.

But he is no longer Jiang Yiran.

Jiang Ran was well aware of the ugliness of human nature. He knew that Albert had seen his face and had murderous intentions towards him. Moreover, Albert would not hide his identity obediently, so the lies Jiang Ran told today would be discovered by him sooner or later.

What's more important is that Albert is a guy who enjoys killing people. The reason why he let Jiang Ran go today, apart from that little bit of "crocodile tears"-like "kindness", is more because he doesn't want to die with Jiang Ran.

Therefore, Jiang Ran couldn't let him live.

·

After gradually recovering from his shock, Jiang Ran returned to Albert's body.

He retrieved the Fir Dryad's longhunting bow and said sorry to it.

Then, Jiang Ran put Albert's head and body back together, ready to destroy the body.

Looking at the cut between the neck and the head, Jiang Ran felt a lot of emotion.

Even if it was a level 73 cursed sword user, even if he had 4936 points of vitality, if his head was chopped off, he would die immediately like an ordinary person - this was also the important experience Jiang Ran gained from this battle.

However, Jiang Ran also had a question: where did Albert's 4936 points of vitality come from? Could it be that he was more resistant to damage? Or was it that his physique was stronger than that of an average person?

Because the Black Sword Flame Horse was so sharp that it could even cut through dragon scales, Jiang Ran failed to notice the subtle difference in feel.

Regarding the practical significance of concepts such as vitality and weakness, Jiang Ran believes that more research is needed.

While lamenting that Albert's death was too "easy", Jiang Ran also realized the fragility of his own life.

If we take Albert as a reference, even though Jiang Ran's vitality has increased from 300 points to 2340 points, it does not necessarily mean that his heart will be more resistant to stabbing or his neck will be more resistant to cutting.

In the future, when the combat professional rank is raised to a certain level, or the value exceeds a certain magnitude, will this "mortal body" of mine undergo a qualitative change?

Jiang Ran kept this question for the time being.

He set a fire to burn Albert's body and clothes. As for the equipment that could not be burned by fire, Jiang Ran extravagantly used the Black Sword Flame Horse's skill "Blue Flame Horse" to melt them at extremely high temperatures until they were unrecognizable from their original state.

At this point, Jiang Ran’s crisis tonight came to an end.

He walked quickly towards the awakened motorcycle, ready to rush back to Sunny Town to see if Emilia had returned home safely.

·

·

At the same time, in Sunny Town, Emilia had just finished washing up, turned off the lights and lay down.

As soon as her head touched the pillow, she felt sleepy immediately. Within a few seconds, the girl began breathing evenly and fell into a deep sleep.

More than ten minutes later, two sneaky shadows were projected onto the wooden window of Emilia's house.

There were two men trying to find an unlocked window to climb into Emilia's house.

After working for a while, the two men were disappointed to find that all the windows were locked, which forced them to choose between prying open the door or the window.

"Charles, do you know any locksmiths?"

"You're stupid! How can we do anything bad if we call a locksmith?"

Charles hit Oboka on the head, complained that this guy only had muscles but no brains, and then started thinking.

However, Charles's brain wasn't much better.

With his IQ, he wouldn't be able to come up with any good ideas until dawn, so he came up with a bad idea that he thought was a good idea.

"Hey! Oboka! We are so stupid! Why didn't we think of it!" Charles suddenly patted Oboka happily.

Oboka nodded blankly, not knowing why he was so happy about discovering that he was stupid.

"We're here to kidnap her, not steal anything. Why don't we just break in openly?"

When Oboka heard this "wonderful theory", he suddenly had an epiphany!

That's right! Two grown men are here to kidnap a young girl. Why are they doing it so secretly? Why not just rob her openly?

So, Oboka punched the window next to him and broke the wooden window in one go.

"Come on, Charles, give me a push and I'll go in first!"

6.10 - Emilia's Battle (Part )

The night is deep.

The noise coming from the living room woke Emilia from her sleep.

Just as she was still wondering whether she was dreaming or really heard the sound, she heard the sound of a flowerpot falling to the ground and breaking.

In the living room, there were only flower pots on the windowsill. It was impossible for the flower pots to fall down by themselves for no reason. That meant that someone had climbed into the house through the window...!

Thinking of this, Emilia immediately got out of bed and put on her clothes. She was glad that she had the habit of locking the door when she went to bed. At least now there was a bedroom door between her and the living room!

——(Is it a thief?)

--(still……?)

Emilia remembered what Banning had said to her. The mayor seemed to be planning something bad for the Task Force Guild.

However, the mayor's house was burned down tonight by a pillar of fire that fell from the sky. If the mayor was at home, he should have been dead...

The situation was too chaotic, and Emilia couldn't figure out who the intruder might be, but she already had an idea of ​​how she should deal with it.

·

Emilia first took two deep breaths to calm her nervousness, then she opened the curtains and picked out five magic books from the bookshelf in the moonlight.

From a combat perspective, Emilia is only a level 20 junior magician. However, because she has been working in the quest guild for many years, her experience is not just at the first level.

Emilia's "Auto Chant" skill can record up to five spells.

Considering that the battle might happen at home next, the venue was narrow, the distance to the enemy was very close, and there was no vanguard to help cover, Emilia chose four first-level magic books and a second-level magic book given to her by Banning as the magic combination for the battle.

With the help of "Auto Chant", Emilia can complete the chanting of first-level magic in one second, which is suitable for close-range combat where every second counts. The chanting of second-level magic is more time-consuming but powerful, and can be used as a trump card to finish off the enemy.

Then, Emilia used the "Auto Chant" skill and replaced the five spells originally recorded in it with the first-level "Visual Enhancement", "Rock Wall", "Vine Zone", "Ice Thorn" and the second-level "Flame Javelin".

At this point, Emilia's battle preparations were complete.

·

Emilia has some experience in fighting monsters, but she has very little experience in fighting humans.

Holding a long staff, she walked to the door and put her ear to the door to listen for a while. She heard the sound of someone walking in the living room. This made Emilia give up the last bit of hope, give up the fantasy and prepare to fight.

——(First-order mental magic: visual enhancement)

Emilia used magic to enhance her vision in the dark, and then quietly pushed the door open a crack.

Through the gap, Emilia saw a middle-aged man about forty years old, who was looking for something in her house, and in the man's hand, he was holding a kitchen knife.

After watching for a while, Emilia suddenly realized that she recognized this man. His name was Charles, the guy that Banning pointed out to her by the window that day!

[The above image is from "5.22 - Jiang Ran's Strategy"]

Emilia now knew that this guy was not a thief, but someone sent by the mayor.

Did he not know the mayor was dead? Or was he not in the mansion?

In any case, Emilia knew that the danger she faced tonight was no longer at the level of a thief coming to her house.
