Let You Wait So Long

"Tick-tock..."

The sound of liquid dripping echoed again in the dim space.

However, this time the sound was not the sound of water dripping, but the sound of blood dripping.

As Fang Li slowly walked Fang Li, drops of blood slid from the sharp blade of his crescent-shaped dagger, leaving traces of blood on the ground.

The smell of blood began to permeate Fang Li's body.

The pungent smell, mixed with an astonishing killing intent, seemed to have dyed the entire space a crimson color, inspiring fear.

Looking at this Fang Li, Petelgeuse's eyes widened, not out of surprise or fear, but out of emotion.

"Oh... oh oh oh oh...!"

Petelgeuse let out a cry of ecstatic joy.

"A knight! A knight! A knight stained with blood!"

Petelgeuse was so moved that he even bowed to Fang Li.

"What a beautiful Matoba!"

"What a wonderful killing intent!"

What a wonderful encounter!

"What a wonderful surprise!"

"The first time! The first time! The first time I've ever seen such a bloodthirsty knight!"

"How many people did you kill? How many people did you kill? You're a knight! Yet you killed so many people! You're so diligent! So diligent! It's truly moving!"

As he said this, Petelgeuse was so moved that he shed tears and even clenched his hands in a prayerful gesture.

"Is this also a result of the witch's favor? It allowed me to meet such a wonderful person! Thank you! Thank you so much!"

"Thank you for your favor! Thank you for your kindness! Thank you for your doting! Our beloved witch!"

After saying that, Petelgeuse suddenly stopped his excited behavior, as if he had never done anything violent before. He looked at Fang Li expressionlessly and spoke blankly.

"Who are you?"

The sudden blank expression and extremely abrupt words would surely leave an ordinary person unable to keep up with Petelgeuse's illogical pace.

However, Fang Li completely ignored Petelgeuse, and walked straight ahead as if he hadn't seen him at all, even under Petelgeuse's wide-eyed gaze.

Finally, he even missed Petitschius.

"Ignored? Ignored?! They actually ignored my hard work! This is so upsetting!"

Petelgeuse's heartbroken speech, which sounded like he was about to cry, had already been left behind by Fang Li.

Fang Li simply walked forward and came to Emilia's side.

"Fang Li..."

Emilia's pleading and joyful expression was deeply imprinted in Fang Li's eyes.

Clearly, Fang Li's arrival was a salvation for Emilia, who was almost crushed by Petelgeuse's words, and her cyan eyes were filled with grievance.

Looking at Emilia like this, Fang Li couldn't help but soften his expression.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Li's Moon Blade flashed suddenly.

"Smack—!"

With a crisp sound, the chains binding Emilia's body were severed in two by the dagger that slashed down.

It is as fragile as a blank sheet of paper.

However, almost at the same time, malice and hostility also began to rise in this space.

"Proof of favor! The Invisible Hand!"

The moment the frantic sound rang out, the dark figure exploded in the dim space.

"Bang—!"

As the explosion rang out, the rock binding Emilia suddenly seemed to be struck hard by some unseen force, bursting open violently, creating a shockwave that blew away rubble and debris, turning the entire rock into powder.

However, before that, Fang Li had already carried Emilia, leaped high into the air, and, riding the Explosive Wind, retreated rapidly, landing on the ground not far from the entrance.

At the same time, Petelgeuse's frantic words rang out once again.

"No! No, no, no, no, no, no!"

"My beloved witch's vessel has not yet passed the trial! How can I allow you to take it away!"

"This won't do! This is not allowed!"

"This is my mission!"

"If I cannot fulfill my mission, I cannot live diligently!"

"Do you want me to be lazy? Do you want me to be lazy?!"

"Unforgivable! Unforgivable! Unforgivable!"

With that roar, the shadow beneath Petelgeuse exploded once more.

No one can see it, right?

Because that is a phenomenon that cannot be seen in the first place.

Petelgeuse's shadow transformed into jet-black arms, like vicious pythons, which suddenly emerged from his back, slithered through the space, and stretched towards Fang Li's direction.

————"The Invisible Hand".

As its name suggests, it is an arm that cannot be seen with the naked eye.

That is the power of Petelgeuse.

With this power, Petelgeuse can extend his deadly shadow hand when his opponent is completely unprepared.

That arm possessed astonishing strength, capable of easily crushing even rocks.

Under such force, a human body would be strangled in less than a second.

Legend has it that Satella, known as the "Witch of Envy," could even unleash two thousand such arms, tearing the earth to shreds and crushing mountains into powder—a truly terrifying sight.

Petelgeuse had not yet reached that level; he could only unleash a few dozen hands.

However, combined with its ability to be invisible to the naked eye, it can achieve an extraordinary killing effect.

Therefore, it is a force that even those who know its details cannot counter.

Faced with such attacks, people often have no choice but to run away, or be caught after struggling and strangled.

If you can't see it...

"Choke----!"

The blade flashed.

Just as those unseen demonic hands touched Fang Li, the Moon Blade in Fang Li's hand transformed into a flash of light, sweeping around him as if dancing.

"Pfft—pfft—pfft—!"

With an unmistakably clear slashing sound, all the demonic hands reaching towards Fang Li were severed by the flashing slashes, turning into black shadows and disappearing without a trace.

"Aaaaaaaahhhhh!"

Petelgeuse let out a cry of extreme alarm and anger.

"You...! You...! You you you you you you you you you! Can you see the Invisible Hand?!"

Petelgeuse's madness only earned Fang Li a faint response from Fang Li.

No, what I see are not your dirty hands.

In the Ice-Blue Demon Eyes, the rainbow-like light membrane seemed to grow even brighter, gazing upon Petelgeuse.

"All I saw was their 'death.'"
