Didn't That Kill It?

----"monster".

Arcueid himself used this adjective more than once.

Arcueid once said that Tohno Shiki is a monster.

Arcueid once said that the Fang Li is a monster.

In Arcueid's eyes, the two boys with the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception were practically monsters.

Now, Ciel is using this adjective to describe Arcueid.

And in the most ruthless way.

However, faced with such a ruthless declaration, Arcueid struggled to raise his head and stared at Ciel with gritted teeth.

"I... I will never become... like that..."

As she said this, Arcueid's breathing became increasingly erratic, and her delicate body trembled more frequently.

Perhaps, to outsiders, Arcueid's behavior is due to the great harm that Ciel's attack had just inflicted on the princess.

However, both Fang Li and Ciel understood that with the abilities of this True Ancestor Princess, this level of attack was completely ineffective; it only made her look miserable.

The body, completely free of any visible injuries, perfectly exemplified this point.

Therefore, Arcueid's suffering is not due to injury, but rather to the vampiric urge within her.

Just as Ciel said.

Arcueid, who was killed once by Tohno Shiki and used most of her power to revive, no longer had any power left to suppress the vampire urge within her.

Once Arcueid succumbs to her vampiric urges, this princess of the True Ancestor will be utterly corrupted.

To become a monster that feeds on human blood?

No.

The harm caused by Arcueid's fall is definitely not limited to this.

Once she truly falls, this strongest True Ancestor Princess will unleash all her true power, leveling the surrounding area in a berserk state.

Among the Twenty-Seven Ancestors of the Dead Apostle, there was a position originally intended for Arcueid.

That's the third one.

This seat is currently empty.

However, once Arcueid falls, this True Ancestor Princess who has become a monster will be among them, becoming the third of the Twenty-Seven Ancestors of the Dead Apostle, and a world-class catastrophe.

"Therefore, now is the best time to kill her."

The conversation ended with Ciel's still-cold words.

Only Arcueid's disordered breathing and distressed moans echoed in the space.

Fang Li glanced at the indifferent-looking Ciel, then turned his gaze to Arcueid.

Ice-Blue Demon Eyes quietly appeared.

"Bilibili..."

The long-lost feeling of electric shock surged through Fang Li's mind.

That was proof that Fang Li was using the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception to their fullest extent.

Therefore, Fang Li's Magic Eye shone with an unprecedented light, and even the rainbow-like iris in the middle became dazzling.

Immediately, Fang Li turned around, gripped the Moon Blade in his backhand, and slowly walked towards Arcueid.

Upon seeing this, Ciel was taken aback at first, then frowned.

Even Arcueid couldn't help but quicken her breathing, looking at Fang Li walking towards her, sweating profusely as she struggled to make a sound.

What... are you planning to do?

This is probably the first time, right?

For the first time since meeting Arcueid, Fang Li detected a sense of unease in Arcueid's voice.

Is Arcueid afraid?

Is Fang Li afraid that Fang Li will kill her, just as Ciel said?

Nobody knows about this.

However, Ciel witnessed this scene firsthand, his eyes flickered slightly, and in the end, he chose to remain a cold observer.

Under these circumstances, Fang Li gradually approached Arcueid's direction.

"Hmm..."

Arcueid clenched his fist involuntarily.

Then, in a very hesitant voice, he said this.

"Do you want to kill me?"

One sentence made the atmosphere in the entire space oppressive.

Fang Li, however, simply stood in front of Arcueid and looked down at her.

A pair of Ice-Blue Demon Eyes, gleaming with a terrifying aura.

Only then did Fang Li speak.

"Didn't you say there was nothing in this world I couldn't kill?"

That happened less than half an hour ago.

However, at that time, Fang Li did not directly answer Arcueid's question.

"Let me tell you now."

"At least, if it were me, I could still kill him."

"Kill the thing that's been tormenting you."

The moment the words fell, Fang Li suddenly raised the Moon Blade in his hand, holding it in a reverse grip, and aimed it at Arcueid's chest.

Then, it landed.

"Pfft—!"

The sound of a sharp blade piercing through a human body rang out clearly.

And so, Fang Li's Moon Blade pierced Arcueid's body without any resistance.

"Gurgle!"

Arcueid let out a miserable cry.

Ciel's eyes narrowed.

In the next instant, everyone seemed to hear a voice.

"Splat..."

That sounded like something breaking.

The sound originated from Arcueid's body.

After the sound faded, Arcueid's demeanor changed.

No longer as chaotic as before, but as if it had been calmed down, it gradually became stable.

"See?"

Fang Li suddenly smiled.

"Didn't they kill him?"

After saying that, Fang Li pulled the Moon Blade from Arcueid's body.

There wasn't a single drop of blood on the blade.

"----ha!"

Only then did Arcueid seem to be freed from a state of suffocation, and like a drowning person, greedily inhaled the fresh air.

However, the breathing was no longer as disordered and hot as before, but very orderly.

"You..."

Seeing Arcueid return to normal, even his expression becoming relaxed, Ciel was finally astonished.

Then, Ciel turned his gaze to Fang Li and uttered a speechless sound.

What did you do?

This question has not been answered.

Fang Li only said that.

Are there any other questions?

His casual words left Ciel speechless.

After a long pause, Ciel looked directly at Arcueid and began to whisper.

"You've escaped with your life, True Ancestor."

After leaving those words, Ciel vanished from the spot in a flash.

"That stupid woman..."

Arcueid, whose breathing was gradually calming down, opened her mouth as if gritting her teeth.

"Who exactly was saved from death?"

Seeing that Arcueid still had the energy to complain, and that her voice and expression were no longer full of bitterness and repression, Fang Li lowered his head and looked at the Moon Blade in his hand.

Recalling the feeling of the touch just now, Fang Li couldn't help but sigh.

"It seems things aren't as simple as I thought..."
