The Ultimate Offense Is Defense

-- Five minutes ago.

When it comes to books, one should make a clean break; otherwise, things will become chaotic.

Now that he had set his sights on rescuing Steel Bones, Bai Zhi naturally wouldn't dawdle or delay.

Compared to the castle outside, the danger inside this castle far exceeded his expectations. In addition, there were unknown Otherworld Player causing trouble in the shadows. Whether they wanted to survive here or find the passage to the Core Area as soon as possible, they desperately needed help.

And even disregarding that, in a sense, Steel Bones risked his life to save them. After putting on the [Criminal Suspect Outfit], he had Perfect blended into the enemy's ranks, and even though they didn't notice him, Steel Bones was willing to expose himself and put himself in danger for their sake.

Regardless of the circumstances, they owed each other an enormous favor.

Since the Skill Special Effect could be sealed once exposed, Bai Zhi and Fireworks of Romance Yue had no choice but to rely on Equipment and items to complete this rescue operation. With the vision bonuses provided by [God's Perspective] and [Eagle Eye], Bai Zhi and his companions carefully made their way to the side of the First Floor Hall.

The chaos caused by the previous Fireworks of Romance Treasure of the Chef had not yet completely subsided, and various knives and forks were still scattered on the ground. The Maid were busy cleaning up those things, which gave them an excellent opportunity.

Faced with more than 30 mutated Monster who were fearless and seemed to possess some kind of immortality, even though Steel Bones was indeed very strong, he was still no match for them.

Looking at the Steel Bones tied to the cross with ropes in the First Floor Hall, Bai Zhi quickly devised a plan in his mind after a moment's thought.

"... Another one of these Stink Bomb?"

Seeing the small round balls that Bai Zhi had taken out, Fireworks of Romance's lips twitched involuntarily.

"We need to muddy the waters as much as possible. The more chaotic the situation, the more advantageous it is for us. So, in this situation, any means are justified."

While observing the situation below from God's Perspective, Bai Zhi quickly arranged the last of his supplies in various locations.

Fortunately, the area was already chaotic, and the pink smoke didn't dissipate quickly enough, so the inconspicuous little balls didn't attract much attention.

"When those people try to send Steel Bones to the altar, we'll make our move. Our main objective then... wait, something unexpected has happened."

Bai Zhi suddenly stopped all his movements.

"What's wrong now?"

Touching her nose, which had almost bumped into the other person's back, Fireworks of Romance asked with a hint of annoyance.

"Help has arrived... and they've arrived at just the right time?"

"Helper?"

Slightly puzzled, he Fireworks of Romance glanced down and witnessed the guards and the couple being beheaded. He was immediately stunned.

"Wait a minute, was your ex-girlfriend really that strong!?"

"Wouldn't it be better to be stronger? That's exactly what we're lacking on this side..."

Before he could finish speaking, Bai Zhi saw the change in the shadow behind the Young Girl from God's Perspective. His expression immediately changed, and without thinking, he fired his gun.

Meanwhile, the knives and forks that had fallen to the ground and had not yet been cleaned up began to tremble.

--Only after his gunshot rang out did the sounds of Fireworks of Romance begin to follow.

Following the sound of the gunshot, the Young Girl glanced upstairs, her eyes flickering slightly. At the same time, the long sword at her waist was drawn again, its sharp Blade Light flashing like lightning, Blade Light a "Z" shape behind her.

With a suppressed cry of pain, the raging shadow behind the Young Girl instantly returned to calm.

"Our castle is really bustling today..."

Slowly rising from the ground, the middle-aged man's face was terrifyingly gloomy. At the junction of his head and neck, countless tiny Flesh Bud were spontaneously intertwining and entwining.

With a flicker of Shadow and the crisp sound of knives and forks falling to the ground, the Woman's figure returned to his shadow. However, as soon as Woman figure appeared, her body broke apart and fell to the ground.

--This scene, reflected in the shadows on the ground, created a rather eerie and unsettling image.

Looking at the middle-aged man who had stood up again, the Young Girl's face remained expressionless. After sheathing her sword again, she gripped the hilt with her other hand and slowly assumed a drawing stance.

Seeing the scene below, Bai Zhi instinctively wanted to remind the other party not to release any Skill, but after he spoke, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Everything around him suddenly became extremely silent, as if a silencing Special Effect had been applied to the area, and all the sounds he made were completely silenced.

"That Player from Otherworld..."

Sensing the strangeness around him, Bai Zhi's expression immediately darkened, and in the brief moment he hesitated, the Young Girl's attack from below had already arrived.

What words can be used to describe it?

Like a flash of lightning on a stormy night, illuminating the world with a blinding light, in the castle's first-floor hall, as the Young Girl slashed her long sword forward, the bright sunlight outside instantly dimmed.

A moment later, the dust settled.

The Young Girl sheathed her knife again and walked lightly toward the Steel Bones Doll on the ground. A moment later, she brushed past the middle-aged man, as if she had never even drawn her knife.

--In fact, ever since the Young Girl appeared in the hall, no one has been able to see the true appearance of the sword that has always Jizo in its sheath; it has all been just a fleeting glimpse.

As the Young Girl passed by him, the middle-aged man in gorgeous Noble Attire paused for a moment, seemingly wanting to say something. However, before he could speak, a look of utter despair suddenly appeared on his face.

Like a drop of ink falling into a pool, the ink spread rapidly in all directions. Accompanied by a series of soft cracking sounds, the cracks spread quickly across the middle-aged man's body. In an instant, it was as if countless knives had slashed him, and countless fine cracks appeared densely on his body.

The invisible swords continued to tear at his body until he exploded and turned into dust floating in the air.

--No Corpse Bone.
