Chapter 58

He began to put more force into the broadsword in his hand, but no matter what he did, he couldn't move it an inch.

What is this terrifying power?!

Seeing the other person's astonished expression, Takuson felt nothing but disgust for these scumbags. Despite the Demon's cruelty towards humans, there were still bandits among humanity who harmed their own kind.

That's really awful.

Thinking of this, he suddenly clenched his fist with the weapon in his hand.

He would show no pity for these people.

Click—

The sound of something breaking.

Pfft!

Bright red blood flew into the sky and scattered all around.

Clang! Smash!

The broken sword and an arm fell from the sky and landed at the bandit leader's feet.

"Ugh!!!"

A sharp pain shot through his right side, and the bandit leader collapsed to his knees, hastily covering his severed right side with his only remaining left hand.

"The Goddess's Three Spears".

Takuson never put down the Sacred Canon in his hand, and the instant he beheaded the bandit Chief with one hand, he unleashed his most frequently used Magic.

"Ah————!" x2

Two screams echoed throughout the space.

One of the attacks came from a person hiding in the crowd, holding a staff. At that moment, a golden spear pierced his abdomen, and he was immobilized in place.

Another sound came from the bandit leader, whose legs were each pierced by a golden spear, and he had now lost the ability to "move".

The henchmen who were chatting around were all terrified by the sight before them.

Takuson ignored the bandit leader lying on the ground.

Instead, he looked at the Magic User in the crowd whom he had pierced, and walked straight towards him.

As he approached, none of the surrounding soldiers dared to step forward to stop him; they all tried their best to shrink themselves into the corners so as not to attract Takuson's attention.

"Ugh, ahhhhh—!"

Finally, one person couldn't take it anymore and started jumping wildly towards the door, trying to escape this hell.

But Takuson seemed completely oblivious, letting the other escape.

Just when others thought it was a good opportunity and wanted to follow suit.

Pfft!

The person who had collapsed was then pierced by a golden beam of light and fell to the ground in a forward-leaning position.

"Uh... ah..."

He wanted to cry out in pain, but the sorrow that pierced his chest prevented him from making a sound.

At this, the remaining people instantly became much more obedient. All the grown men huddled in the corner, trembling like women.

And Takuson arrived before the Magic User.

As soon as he entered, he saw the other person muttering something under their breath.

Boom!!

The wall behind him suddenly shattered, and a gigantic Monster burst forth, charging straight at Takuson, who was standing in front of the Magic User...

Splash splash splash...

Xiu Er rummaged through piles of gold coins.

Alice sat on a chair she found randomly in the room, listening to the screams that came from outside the door from time to time, and felt a chill run down her spine.

"Xiu Er, aren't you worried about Lord Takuson's safety?"

Out of curiosity, Alice suppressed her fear of Xiu Er and mustered up the courage to ask him.

There was no way around it; the two masters and disciples had such different personalities, especially Xiu Er's unusually cold attitude, which made the girl wonder if he cared about whether his disciple lived or died.

"[Definitely] No safety hazards were detected."

"Uh, this..."

This person's way of speaking was so strange that Alice ultimately chose to remain silent; she simply couldn't respond to what he was saying.

Since the other person, who is in the same field, said "it's okay," what else could she say?

However, what Alice didn't know was exactly what Xiu Er's standard for "it's okay" was.

Boom—!

Suddenly, the entire cave began to shake, causing Alice to stand up in fear.

Xiu Er, however, continued collecting the few Magic Guidebook in the warehouse, remaining unmoved by the matter.

Seeing that the other party did not react, Alice suppressed her unease and sat back down.

However, from an angle she couldn't see, a strange light once again appeared in Xiu Er's eyes.

End of episode 36

Rumble—!

A significant tremor was felt again deep inside the cave.

Alice's gaze kept shifting between Xiu Er and the road outside the door.

The latter, on the other hand, calmly searched for their target among the "treasures" scattered around.

A few minutes later.

Peeling back the coins and various weapons and equipment, the things that had been pressed down underneath were now revealed.

When Xiu Er saw this object, he immediately stopped what he was doing and picked it up.

It's finally been dug out.

Wiping away the dust stuck to the cover, a tattered-looking Magic Guidebook appeared in Xiu Er's hands.

Without hesitation, he immediately opened the book and began reading on the spot.

The speed at which he read left Alice speechless, to the point that she wondered if Xiu Er had even seen the contents of the book.

Boom boom boom—!!!

The tremor returned.

Unlike before, this time the intensity was much greater, causing debris to fall from the ceiling.

Just then, a golden Space Gate suddenly opened beside Xiu Er.

This strange phenomenon startled Alice was sitting not far away.

"What happened?!"

Xiu Er glanced casually at the door beside him before turning his attention back to the book.

"[Answer] Don't panic, this is Takuson's regression phenomenon."

"Huh?... Oh!"

Alice understood; this was a sign that Lord Takuson was coming back.

Sure enough, the next second, Takuson's figure appeared from the [door], but his condition was clearly abnormal.

With a soft splatter.

Takuson, dressed in tattered clothes and unconscious, fell to the ground like rotten flesh, his body missing half of its torso.

"Waaaaaaahh..."

"Lord Takuson! What's wrong?!"

Alice rushed to Takuson's side, who was missing half of his body. Out of concern, she instinctively picked him up to check his injuries.

The wound was located right over the heart; Takuson's heart was gone!

A person will die if they lose their heart.

Alice knew this all too well and dared not look directly at the horrifying wound, but her hand touching the other person's body could already feel the flesh gradually growing cold.

She immediately thought of someone who was still peacefully reading the Magic Guidebook beside her.

This is what you mean by "no safety hazards"?!

"Xiu Er! Please save him!"

Xiu Er was somewhat surprised by Alice's high regard for Takuson.

But he paid no attention to the other person's terrified expression, remaining completely calm, as if Takuson's "death" was not enough to bother him.

"[Negative] Individual Takuson, no life-threatening danger detected."

"..."

Xiu Er's words stung Alice.

She stared in astonishment at the unmoved Xiu Er. She couldn't believe that this man was so heartless as to not care at all about the fact that his disciple was "dead," and was still flipping through that so-called Magic Guidebook.

Could it be that in her heart, Lord Takuson's life, as his apprentice, is not as important as a Magic Guidebook?!

In a short period of time, Alice's impression of Xiu Er plummeted to rock bottom.

But she dared not question Xiu Er, because she was still with Xiu Er in the bandit's cave.

However, just as Alice was cursing Xiu Er's ruthlessness in her heart, a strange scene unfolded.

She saw it.

The wounds on the body of the benefactor in her arms were regenerating in a bizarre way.

It was as if time had reversed.

Heart, flesh, and skin regenerated rapidly in Alice's eyes, and within seconds, a completely healed Takuson reappeared before her.

There were no horrific wounds, no disgusting smell of blood, and even the clothes on their bodies seemed as if they had never been attacked.

Witness the miracle of coming back to life.

At this moment, Alice stood frozen in place, her dissatisfaction with Xiu Er replaced by shock.

The person's brain "crashed" because it couldn't comprehend the current situation.

"Hmm..."

Just then, Takuson, who was in her arms, also woke up.

Upon opening my eyes, the first thing I saw was the beautiful face of the blonde girl. Perhaps because of her wealthy family background, the girl's life was quite comfortable, as her skin felt very soft and smooth, giving me a pleasant feeling.

Because she was being held in his arms, the girl's scent naturally wafted into Takuson's nostrils.

Mmm, a floral scent.

In addition, her facial features are quite delicate, and she is considered "good-looking" in Takuson's aesthetic standards.

Although he got high scores, none of them mattered to him as much as his teacher.

Because he had just woken up, Takuson was not immediately aware of his condition, but in a moment of confusion, he made a comment about Alice.

But in the next second, he immediately came to his senses.

"Wow!"
