"Just now...... Did it feel like something was exploding?"

Lin looked at Io suspiciously, who nodded, confirming Lin's guess, "It's true that 'something' has changed somewhat, but that's not something we need to care about, don't think about it......"

"But, isn't the 'Red Power' something very important?

Lynn's words made Io frown - she had deliberately skipped the explanation of the Red Power, but she had not expected that Lin had already learned of its existence at some point, and seemed to be quite sensitive to the "Red Power".

【...... I found out when Lynn was separated from us, right? I'm really curious what happened to her......]

"'Red Power'? Doesn't that mean that something nice to see happened to that guy? Well, since the 'Red Power' has exploded, it means that the Holy Sword has begun to fit with him? Hehe, it seems that he has met a very bad guy...... It's a pity, I guess I can't die......"

Feng Yin's words on the side made Lin break out in a cold sweat.

(What's wrong with Kaede??

(This one...... After all, if you have been "killed" once, you will inevitably have some pimples in your heart, don't care...... ）

After receiving a clear reply from Io, Lin decisively chose to ignore Kaede......

[Wait!, Xia is going to ......]

Suddenly, Lynn thought of a terrible possibility.

[uh...... If she really did that kind of thing, Io wouldn't be in trouble with her, would they?]

"Io, is it really okay to leave the 'Red Power' alone?"

"It's okay, that guy didn't kill him on the spot because he attacked Kaede before, it's already the result of careful consideration - and I even gave him benefits, what do you want? As for whether he will be too bad in the future...... That has nothing to do with us~"

“......”

Looks like it's okay.

========

===========

Natsu sighed deeply and reluctantly picked up his left arm that had fallen to the ground.

"I really didn't expect that I would be able to get the approval of the Holy Sword and exercise the power of the real 'Red Power'...... But forget it, this is the ideal ending, and it saves me from having to grind with the boss......"

Glancing at the severed arm, he found that the fracture was charred black, and it was obvious that some of it had been burned to ashes at the moment of being attacked - Xia, who originally wanted to press it directly to the wound, couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw this.

Let's not talk about the missing part of the severed arm, and there is still a residual "red power" flowing in it...... This kind of thing is really not a tonic for Xia, and I am afraid that it will be very troublesome to connect it directly......

“...... Now I don't even have to worry about explaining, just take this truncated arm and hand it over, right?"

"Hey, Natsu, aren't you worried about finding out something? After all, it's part of your body, what if some capable people there can find some clues from here?"

Carlo asked, not without concern.

"That's right. Xia nodded approvingly, holding the broken arm in his right hand, and soon, it melted into Xia's body like a white bone skeleton before.

"Hmm......"

A burning pain pierced Natsu's soul.

"Hey, you're okay with Natsu, are you?"

“...... I didn't expect that the effect of the 'Red Power' on a heretic like me would be so great—I, who had become accustomed to tearing my own soul for granted, would cry out in pain...... What a wonderful experience~"

Natsu grinned excitedly.

For her, the purpose of this operation can be said to have no regrets - she has met an interesting fellow Void Contractor, the troublesome guy who was watching her has been killed, and the Holy Sword Yan Yu has not been able to get it, and she can use the most serious excuse to cover up her release...... And, most importantly, a sample of the valuable "Red Power".

"Speaking of which, if you are serious Xia, what are the chances of winning against the Imperial Master of the Holy Sword Yan Yu?"

Carlo asked Natsu suddenly.

"Huh...... Can't you tell, Carlo?"

"After all, I'm really not very good at combat, but according to the records in the classics, the strength of the 'normal' Holy Sword Yanyu Master can still be grasped...... It's just that I don't have any bottom ...... the combat power of you, a contractor."

Listening to this irresponsible line, Xia felt helpless for a while.

"Am I really your contractor? At this time, you actually told me that you don't even know how many pounds and taels I have?

"Doesn't that show you're unfathomable......"

Thousands of wear sycophants don't wear ...... Although Zhilu Dao's pumpkin head didn't have much discipline, Xia didn't really hate the flattery from his companion - in return, Xia smiled and waved his fist at Carlo......

"I'd be glad it was a kid like Lynn to say that, but please be a little self-aware, okay......?" Please, let me go. ”

Think about Angul Jun next door, who looks cute and has high combat power, and will sell cuteness, on the other hand, his pumpkin head, which looks rubbing, is a scumbag of strength, and spits out the contractor's groove and carries the contractor's bar all day long, and now he actually says that he can't even guess how many catties and taels the contractor has...... Xia Zhen really had the urge to step on this waste wood.

"If I go all out, I am confident that I can kill any 'person' I want to kill - as long as the other party cannot overcome the fear of the unknown and evil, there will be no enemy in front of me! The only trouble is that if it is okay to go one-on-one, if it is going to be big and there is no way to hide the information, I am afraid that I will soon be encircled and suppressed by the Holy See and all kinds of people with a strong sense of justice...... I've said that I hate meaningless fights! It's inherently problematic to measure a person's worth by his combat effectiveness, right?"

"But with the way you fight ghosts, I don't think you have the force field to say this......"

Interest is to open the chest of those who are enemies of oneself...... How can such a person be like a "person who hates meaningless fighting"!

"If you are not innocent, there is no possibility of mercy in battle, and besides, I am still very confident in my ability to discern. Besides, the enemies of me are just a lot of times when they die ugly, but it's just a matter of dying for half a minute, compared to those perverts who kill people for half a day, I'm normal......"

"I'm sure most people would rather be slashed with a knife for ten minutes than die in some strange way......"

For Xia's mental state, Carlo is also helpless.

In a sense, Xia is cruel, and the fate of her enemies can be mosaic, but from another point of view, Xia can also be said to be very merciful, from fear to death, there is hardly more than half a minute...... However, this cruel and vicious girl has very little blood in the real sense, and she has always adhered to the rule of not shooting at civilians and innocents.

In Xia's words, her own research is a long-term thing, and contaminating too much killing karma will only make her life goal full of more twists and turns, besides, sane people should not indulge their negative emotions and affect their judgment......

"If you want to describe it, I am definitely not the one with the strongest combat power and the most destructive power, but I can definitely be regarded as the type that poses the greatest threat to the living - even if the master of the Holy Sword Yanyu is hanging to the sky, as long as his essence is human, his vision is not separated from people, and his realm does not transcend people...... It can't be my opponent!"

Xia said so confidently.

"I can't be defeated by creatures lower than me! the only ones who can defeat me are those who I still need to look up to for the time being!"

[Just give me time to keep going......]

"Well, I know a little bit...... However, I suddenly regretted signing a contract with you. ”

Carlo suddenly said something that shocked Xia slightly.

"What if...... If nothing happens, you will surely die, on the path of pursuing your dreams, because ...... Because...... Shh

"Well, some reasons that can't be said? Ha Luha, I can guess a little bit~"

Natsu didn't care about that.

"Although Carlo you are not very powerful, but I am somewhat happy to hear that you are worried about me~ As for the future you said I will definitely die......

"Isn't that what people are, from birth, they will find their own path to pursue their dreams, and then when they reach the very bottom, they will find that this is in itself a path to death...... Death is the end, a reality that I will have to face sooner or later, and I understood this from the beginning. ”

"However, the world is not a one-way straight line, and the end does not mean the end of everything - just like when a person reaches the peak of a certain field, if he goes further and steps into a new field, the end and the apex are also the starting point!"

"Do you want to make a bet with me, Carlo? Bet that death won't stop me! You guy, you want to leave me behind and find a new contractor? Don't think about it, you're just going to let me beat me up for the rest of my life, stupid!"
