How Could It Be That Easy?
When Fang Li leaped out of the Tohno family's mansion and landed in the courtyard, the courtyard had already changed drastically.
The dead had all been pierced through the body by the nail-like thrown swords, lying scattered on the ground or pinned to the walls and trees, leaving bloodstains everywhere.
Amidst this mountain of corpses and sea of blood, a girl dressed in a magic robe, holding several Black Key that resembled sharp claws, turned around and looked at Fang Li.
"You really are connected to the Tohno family." Ciel said without waiting for a reply. "When I saw you keeping an eye on Tono-kun in the dark, I guessed that you must be connected to this Non-Human Clan."
"Likewise." Fang Li laughed, not to be outdone. "As an agent of the Burial Agency, you Lurk Shiki's school through suggestive means. Wasn't that to secretly investigate whether the Tohno family, Non-Human Clan, had any connection with Roa?"
Ciel didn't answer, but just looked straight at Fang Li and said this.
"After that, I did some research on you and found out that your surname is Shichiya."
In other words, Ciel already knew about Fang Li's background.
"The Killer Demon clan, one of the Four Great Demon-Exterminating Families," Ciel said expressionlessly. "Are you the last remaining bloodline of that exorcist family?"
Fang Li didn't answer either, but simply said, "That's no longer important, is it?"
Ciel hesitated for a moment, then changed the subject.
Where is Arcueid Brunestud?
Upon hearing this, Fang Li replied with a very straightforward statement.
"Given the current situation, where could that princess still be?"
The grudge between Arcueid and Roa was something this agent from the Holy Church's Burial Agency couldn't possibly be unaware of.
Therefore, Ciel should have guessed it long ago.
Arcueid will definitely be the first person to go to Roa's location.
"That brainless True Ancestor ..." For the first time, Ciel showed human emotion in front of Fang Li, saying angrily, "How could she possibly be a match for 'The Serpent' in her current state?"
This is a very reasonable judgment.
Arcueid is extremely weak now because she died once before. She was not even able to fight back against Ciel's attack. How much of her strength does she have left compared to her prime?
However, Roa transformed the entire Misaki City into another world, turning it into Demon Den that solely provided him with power and servants. His power continued to increase, and it was likely that it was no longer comparable to what it had been before.
On one side is the True Ancestor, who has become extremely weak.
One side consists of the constantly being strengthened Dead Apostle.
It's obvious who has the advantage.
"They've already had their power plundered by that 'Snake' once, and they still haven't learned their lesson." Ciel said, biting his lip, "If that stupid woman falls into 'Snake's' hands again this time, she'll definitely be completely devoured. Then, there will be almost no one in this world who can stop 'Snake'."
Clearly, Ciel also saw through Roa's plan immediately.
That's why Roa could launch his schemes so recklessly, unafraid of threats from the church and the association.
If they can successfully obtain Arcueid and plunder the power of this strongest-level True Ancestor Princess, then neither the Church nor the Association will be able to do anything to this fraudster.
However, just as Ciel was thinking this, Fang Li suddenly laughed.
Is it really possible that way?
Upon hearing Fang Li's words, Ciel was taken aback.
Seeing this, Fang Li curled his lip and spoke sarcastically.
"That despicable fraudster, despite all his calculations, still miscalculated."
"You want Arcueid?"
"It's not that easy."
"————"
The immense pressure continues to spread across the rooftop of the entire skyscraper.
It's like air has gained weight.
It's like being lifted up by double the force of gravity.
Under these circumstances, Arcueid simply walked step by step toward Roa, her golden pupils as fierce as a beast's as she stared directly at Roa.
"————"
At that moment, Roa felt as if his entire body was being tightly suppressed by the heavy pressure around him, frozen in place, unable to move at all.
It was as if the gaze from those golden eyes, which stared straight at him like a ferocious beast, had transformed into invisible chains, binding his entire body.
"Hahaha..."
Despite the pressure, Roa continued to laugh.
"The Charm Mystic Eyes? Magic Eye really are as powerful as ever!"
Imprisonment, brainwashing, and memory manipulation.
The so-called Charm Mystic Eyes is Magic Eye that possesses this ability.
As the most powerful of the True Ancestor, Arcueid was born with these Magic Eye.
While not Mystic Eyes of Death Perception of Age of Gods, these Magic Eye Eyes are still exceptionally powerful even among Noble Colour- level beings. For ordinary Dead Apostle, once caught in the gaze of these Magic Eye Eyes, they would be unable to move and would only face death in the next second, without any possibility of resistance.
"Too bad it won't work on me!"
A tremendous amount of magical power surged throughout Roa's body.
"Bang—!"
As if the air had burst open, Roa shuddered and easily broke free from the restraints of the Charm Mystic Eyes.
"To deal with high-ranking Dead Apostle, those Magic Eye alone are not enough, Princess."
Roa continued to laugh, his eyes filled with arrogance as he stared at Arcueid.
"In the end, it's just an accessory to you. Your true strength doesn't lie in those Magic Eye, does it?"
Roa's loud laughter clearly reached Arcueid's ears.
However, Arcueid remained silent, only staring intently at Roa, and walked step by step toward him.
As Arcueid walked over without saying a word, Roa's laughter abruptly stopped.
An uncontrollable emotion surfaced in a pair of long, narrow eyes, like those of a snake.
"... What? Aren't you going to say a few words to the person you hate and haven't seen in so long?" Roa clicked his tongue and said, "As far as I know, since you came to this city, haven't you started talking? You're no longer like before, a cold weapon, just repeating acts of annihilation, thinking that words are something unnecessary, right?"
"Or are you saying that I'm someone you don't even have the value to make you speak?"
At this point, Roa's voice began to become harsh.
"I understand, he must not even have the strength to speak, right?"
"After all, you are no match for me right now."
The moment the words left his mouth, the surrounding pressure suddenly changed.
Arcueid abruptly stopped in his tracks.
Looking up at Roa, Arcueid spoke softly.
"Die..."
Arcueid then raised one hand.
"Boom—!"
At the top of the skyscraper, a deafening roar erupted as a terrifying explosion swept outwards, its violent impact reverberating in all directions.
