Chapter 18: The Mutinous Silver Demon
(Note: The meme that appears in this chapter is from the anime "JOJO's Amazing Adventure")
Seeing off the master and apprentice, Lin Tianxiang's slightly tense nerves finally relaxed, and he tasted the red wine snatched from Moxia on the sofa without any image.
"I don't know what you're talking about, though...... But I don't seem to have come at the right time? "There are still star buildings with self-knowledge. During the conversation between Lin Tianxiang and the demon hunter duo, Xing Xiaolou did not idle to watch the play and learned about Lin Tianxiang's mission from Akxia. But what she didn't expect was that this beauty in white military uniform was actually Her Royal Highness the first princess of the United Kingdom, and she was also her fan......
"If you have self-knowledge, hurry away from it." Yan Yurou, who has always been at odds with Xing Xiaolou, mercilessly issued an eviction order. Ordinary people would probably have been scared away by her momentum, but somehow, Lin Tianxiang found that Xing Xiaolou was becoming more and more afraid of her, and even had an obvious competitive spirit.
To use an analogy, it's like two homeless men being as hungry as they are for the same piece of bread.
"Seriously, is it really okay to be crammed into an apartment with us like this as a public figure?" When Lin Tianxiang said this, he completely ignored a certain princess who was more famous. “…… Forget it, whatever you want, but our room is full and we can only squeeze you and a certain lady. ”
Hearing this, Yan Yurou immediately raised her hand and replied, "There's no need, master." How can you wronged a guest? I'll give her my room and I'll sleep with you. ”
Hey...... It seems that you were the one who gave the eviction order, right? Lin Tianxiang nodded thoughtfully while complaining in his heart, "Well, this is indeed a tempting proposal......
"Hey, are you a pervert?" Akshia glanced at Lin Tianxiang with disdain, then held Xing Xiaolou's hand, and an incomparably bright smile appeared on her face. "Xiaolou, come with me, my bed is big!"
"Uh......" Being treated so suddenly and warmly by the princess made Xiao Lou a little at a loss, but after glancing around, he found that ...... A mysterious and unpredictable non-human queen, a sworn enemy who doesn't like each other, and a harem man with a normal orientation, it is indeed a wise decision to live with Her Royal Highness the princess, who is relatively normal among them. So after weighing the pros and cons, she was half-pushed back to the room by the enthusiastic princess.
Lin Tianxiang seemed to smell the smell of lilies in the air......
"Seriously, what do you think of Moshea?" Lin Tianxiang pointed to the apocalypse that the demon hunter said just now.
"I think there's going to be something wrong with this." The queen said with a serious face.
Lin Tianxiang: "......"
"What else can you see? I'm the queen of vampires, and I'm not going to deal with those guys, although there is a peace agreement, but I still maintain a hostile attitude when we meet, especially at this juncture, and most importantly, with my current strength, I can't beat them. Mothea readily admitted the fact.
"Haven't you always been interested in that book? Just give up? Lin Tianxiang was a little puzzled, before she had to help her find the apocalypse.
"Well, I'm just interested. This thing is hard to come by. Maybe someone who is destined to get it can become the protagonist of another book......" The more Moxia talked, the more unscored, but Lin Tianxiang agreed with her thoughts. He didn't have time to care about the so-called Book of Prophecy right now, and he wanted to know how much trouble the guys were going to cause for the Apocalypse.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, in addition to Moxia, who was accustomed to night activities, had already gone out for a walk, under Lin Tianxiang's mandatory request, he finally blasted back the last princess who was playing in the living room. He found that since one more person joined the small family today, everyone was quite excited, and they had been making noise in the living room all night. If Lin Tianxiang doesn't stop it, it is estimated that they will be able to make trouble until the next morning.
To be honest, Lin Tianxiang would also be happy to see this kind of lively scene, if it weren't for such a special period......
This night was destined to be sleepless, and the moment the pointer pointed to twelve o'clock, Lin Tianxiang put down his phone and disappeared in place like a ghost.
"Hmph...... It's worthy of Lin Tianxiang, did you actually notice it? ”
Under the dark night sky, a vague figure like a phantom stood on the roof of the apartment, he turned around slowly and leisurely, facing Lin Tianxiang who suddenly appeared in front of him, he did not feel the slightest panic, and silently took out a lighter and a cigarette.
"Double Happiness?" As a result, the first thing Lin Tianxiang said was this.
“…… Your focus is quite special. "Phantom Killers never show their true colors. With the help of the group's unique magic, the Phantom Veil, they are able to transform their appearance into what they imagined. This thing is much more high-end than any human skin mask.
Lin Tianxiang pointed to the only open space nearby, "Let's fight in another place." ”
Middle-aged man? nodded, he was here to complete the mission, so naturally there was no reason to refuse. Of course, even if there is a disturbance, as long as it is the prey found by the Phantom, it is destined to be impossible to escape.
Each Phantom Slayer is a nameless person who has come out of hell, they have no past, no history, no trace of this world, and their lives are no longer their own from the moment they join the Phantom Order.
Therefore, although Lin Tianxiang has a lot of questions, he will not ask them, because there is no meaning and no need. He has only one mission, to protect the princess.
Needless to say, the next second Lin Tianxiang opened the inherent enchantment, he took out a kitchen knife and slashed over.
"It seems that I was underestimated...... the man threw away his cigarette and slowly took out a dagger to block Lin Tianxiang's attack. A word of advice for you, Lin Tianxiang. ”
He increased his strength a little to deflect the former's attack, and said in an extremely calm voice, "If you don't give it your all, you'll die." ”
As soon as the words fell, Lin Tianxiang felt a pain in his chest—a cut in his chest.
"Abilities?" He didn't think that this guy's movements just now could be fast enough to make an instantaneous counterattack, even if it was Yanyurou's instantaneous counterattack, with Lin Tianxiang's current strength, he could barely catch it with the naked eye.
Either this guy's speed surpasses that of the strongest ace agent in the Hanging Sword, or it's an ability. If the former were the former, the Phantom would probably be able to rule the world.
"That's right, my ability is 'Spatial Cutting'." The man responded dryly.
However, it is obviously impossible for the Phantom Slayer to register his abilities obediently, so reporting his name does not reveal any important information.
Poof-
didn't even have room to think, and Lin Tianxiang's body had more than a dozen more openings in an instant. And this time, he noticed that the Phantom Slayer hadn't done it at all.
“…… If you don't have a stand-in behind you, then you've set up a trap here in advance, right? ”
"I'm a killer, so I have to use my brain when dealing with guys who are stronger than my own." The man nodded as he waved his dagger in the air.
This time, Lin Tianxiang didn't hesitate, and stepped back directly - there was another scratch on his back. At the same time, he analyzed the Phantom Slayer's abilities.
"Space Cutting" is tentatively safe-level capability.
First, the cast range is fixed. The estimated distance is around two to thirty meters. Ability to transfer damage from a cut anywhere at the maximum distance.
Second, the cutting "trap" can be preset in advance, and the host can start it at any time within the effective range.
Third, spatial cuts can be transmitted in plural numbers, and the exact number of transmissions is unknown. (To put it simply, it is possible to cut again on the basis of the first space cut)
This can also explain why, Lin Tianxiang obviously felt that he had dodged his attack, but he was unknowingly hit.
"Judging by your expression, you must have guessed what my ability was." The man nodded approvingly and smiled reassuringly, "Worthy of being a legendary agent...... Well, you can die without regrets. ”
The Phantom Killer thinks that his every move is flawless, even if Lin Tianxiang really dares to turn into the form of the God King in front of him (the Phantom doesn't know that he can also become the Monkey King...... Speaking of the Monkey King, I think of Journey to the West...... He also has full confidence that he can kill the other person in an instant.
But—like mentioned above, the Phantom's intel isn't complete. He didn't know the horror of Lin Tianxiang's "deception".
"Huh! Hehehehe......" Lin Tianxiang covered his face with one hand, and laughed like a madman. "You guy, you're so naïve, let you see my true ability!"
Just when he thought that Lin Tianxiang was going to transform and launched the space cutting, Lin Tianxiang stretched out his right hand eater, made a rather exaggerated movement, and shouted:
"Smash, Varudo! Let time stand still! ”
Then, everything really stood still.
couldn't move, but he could see that Lin Tianxiang had disappeared in place. Crazy laughter echoed in his ears.
The man couldn't understand why this guy was able to use the ability even though he hadn't transformed. Moreover, his abilities are not ...... The man had given up thinking at this time, because he suddenly noticed that there was a huge shadow on the soles of his feet!
"Lola Takizawa!" (Eat me roller!) )
Lin Tianxiang held the roller and fell from the sky——
By the way, in fact, Lin Tianxiang didn't know anything about The World at all, he used the immortal body spell from the Monkey King. Has the ability to immobilize a single body for five seconds.
……
"Ahem...... Ahem, damn it, that's why I hate these powerful guys......"
In the deserted alley, the Phantom Killer squirmed and crawled on the floor with difficulty. After being frantically run over by the road roller, the man came back to life mysteriously.
But again, the price he paid for his life was a comminuted fracture of his whole body, a hemorrhage in the brain, and death would only be a matter of time if left untreated.
The mission of the Phantom Killer is never allowed to fail, Lin Tianxiang, Akxia, none of you can escape!
"It's you who can't escape."
The man's inner thoughts were answered. He looked up in horror and noticed a shadow not far away.
The girl stood less than five meters in front of his line of sight, dressed in a gothic maid outfit, holding a black scythe, and a tide smile on the corner of her mouth. In the dim moonlight, like an elegant and noble white-haired demon.
"It's you...... Nightingale ......" The man recognized the girl in front of him, and his original horror instantly turned into anger.
"Long time no see, 04." The girl's smile grew sweeter.
"Hmph, you traitor! You betrayed the organization, betrayed the archbishop, and now you dare to show up?! 04 reprimanded with all his strength. This unprecedented anger even surpassed Lin Tianxiang's steamroller offensive against him......
"Betrayal?" Sylvia's smile became cold and oozing in 04's scolding. "I did what I had to do. I have fulfilled my responsibilities. Wherever I go, it's my freedom. What do you know as an ant with a code name? ”
Ordinary Phantom Killers are codenamed by numbers, and the further the numbers go, the stronger they become, and Killer 01 represents their apex.
In addition, the leader known as the "Archbishop" has ten ace killers under his command. Each of them has a unique code name for their operations.
Sylvia, the personal maid of Her Royal Highness the Princess, is none other than one of the Phantom Order's ace killers, Nightingale.
"And, you're a little mistaken04." Sylvia turned her head and glanced at Lin Tianxiang, who was leaning in front of her and looked unconcerned, with a resolute tone.
"My master, Axia will always be alone."
