Will I Eventually Become a Capitalist? Chapter 31

Thousand Years of Death, Triple Strike!!

Chapter 35: I've Subdued the Black Snake!

Talking trash is useless!

Just watch me deal with you!

Three consecutive afterimages struck the wounds from the previous stab, inflicting even more brutal pain upon the original scars!!

"Hmph hmph~ Ahhhhhh—!!!"

The pain of having his rear end violated four times in a row, even the Black Snake, a long-lived being, couldn't help but scream.

While Originium Arts that are guaranteed to hit are rare, they aren't exactly once-in-a-lifetime occurrences.

Originium Arts that damage Spiritual Bodies are quite scarce, but they do exist.

Originium Arts that injure people from a distance are even more common; Originium Arts that purely affect oneself are the minority.

None of these three types of Originium Arts were a big deal for the Black Snake.

It had seen the Khan's cavalry tread the earth, heard the metallic clangs of their weapons colliding that could level mountains and reroute rivers, and heard the sharp shrieks of the Nightmare Guards' sabers scraping against skulls.

It had seen tens of thousands of Rus warriors mowed down into bloody pulp by naval cannons, and it had seen the once-invincible Gaul Empire dismembered into ruins.

Its status as a long-lived being had granted it far too rich an experience.

Even Patriot, who was considered a father figure by the Reunion Movement, seemed like a mere child in its eyes.

As time passed, there was nothing left in this world that could affect its mood.

Humanity had continuously faded with time.

Now, it was infinitely close to godhood.

It had thought this world would become increasingly boring, but reality had slapped it in the face.

When Russell raised his kunai and locked onto Chrysanthemum Terrace, it realized that the world had deteriorated to a point it could no longer recognize.

"Don't underestimate the bond between me and Naruto!!!"

Russell roared, raising his kunai.

This ultimate wheelchair-bound person clearly intended to stand his ground and repeatedly cast his combat skill until all his strength was drained!!

How could such an abstract and sinister Originium Art exist in this world?!

"Die!!!"

The long-lived being, possessing the power of two Imperial Guards, roared. It had actually always considered recruiting Russell, but that kunai was too sinister. Even enduring the pain, it had to erase this scourge named Russell from Ursus!!

But, just as the snake's tail was about to whip towards Russell's body, flames and frost brutally shattered the spiritual tail of the giant snake!!

It was Frostnova and Talulah!

They were the two individuals within the Reunion Movement who had the best relationship with Russell.

Talulah even liked Russell quite a bit... if you ignored Russell calling her a tomboy.

Russell had helped them awaken the Black Snake, and there was no way they would stand by and watch Russell be attacked by it.

In the Black Snake's view, the attacks from these two little ones weren't very significant—their Originium Arts were both material-oriented. If it weren't for the inherently mystical nature of Originium, they probably wouldn't even be able to harm it.

But, the critical point was that with Frostnova and Talulah making their stance known, Patriot also raised his halberd.

He already harbored animosity towards the Black Snake, but the Black Snake had temporarily stopped him by issuing threats.

Now, he was joining the battle too!

Unlike hero units like Frostnova and Talulah who were still growing, Patriot was a complete hero unit.

Damn it!!

The Black Snake's beast-like face in mid-air was filled with rage.

It had never been so embarrassed in its life.

However, it couldn't continue to retaliate—Patriot had already joined the fray.

He had once crossed the battlefields of Kazdel, killing countless people.

He had once crushed the silver cavalry of Kashimir, always victorious.

He had once slaughtered the thousand-eyed, hundred-handed monsters, repelling enemies beyond the pass.

This guy was a genuine epic-tier hero, and he definitely knew how to deal with spiritual bodies.

If it insisted on continuing the fight, the outcome would only be its own encirclement and death!!

In that instant, even the Black Snake could no longer afford to maintain any aristocratic demeanor. The entire snake fled like a stray dog towards the distance.

However—

"Sir, you don't think you can escape just like that, do you!!"

To this, Russell let out a cold laugh.

He had given up Valmont's invited party and come here precisely to deal with this venomous snake. If it managed to escape, wouldn't that be a huge loss?!

Russell snatched Patriot's halberd and tied the kunai to the tail end of the halberd—the part being held. With a look of fear on Patriot's face, he grabbed the weapon, which had virtually no connection to the kunai, and thrust it fiercely upwards!

The next moment, the kunai, along with the halberd, was thrust wildly upwards.

Odin, the chief god of Norse Mythology, wielded the divine spear called Gungnir.

Gungnir was forged by dwarves under the command of the dwarf blacksmith Dvalinn. Its ability was simple yet powerful: "It will always hit its target once thrown," a perfectly accurate divine spear.

Legend has it that the Viking tradition of commanders throwing spears at the enemy first during battles originated from this.

Gungnir represented destiny.

And the weapon in Russell's hand also possessed the power of destiny!!

Pseudo.God's Declaration.Triple Strike!!!

The spiritual body of the fleeing Black Snake convulsed violently as if electrocuted.

This time, it wasn't just a kunai that attacked it, but also Patriot's halberd. The halberd was something Patriot had carried since he was a battlefield commander; it was the highest armament of the empire, and its design clearly considered situations involving spiritual bodies.

It wanted to escape, but being attacked by a kunai was a different matter than being attacked by a halberd over three meters long. The intense pain almost caused its thoughts to become chaotic.

And this was the perfect time for Russell's own Originium Arts to take effect!

The Tiger Talisman glowed intensely. With its assistance, Russell's Originium Arts and the halberd were synchronized and released without any conflict!

Escape and confrontation.

They were swapped.

The Black Snake, whose mind was on the verge of collapse, actually charged at Patriot. Patriot, having lost his halberd, narrowed his eyes, grabbed his heavy shield, and fiercely struck at the massive snake head.

In sync with this, Russell once again raised the peculiar "kunai"!

Combat Skill.Six Consecutive Strikes!

In front was Patriot's shield charge, and behind was the false God's Declaration.

The dual pain severely tormented the Black Snake's nerves. The vision of this demon, which considered itself a chess master and the will of a nation, turned blank.

Under the endless sky, the schemer fell.

It collapsed in the mud of the Northern Territory.

Like an old dog with a broken spine.

"Heh, trash."

Amidst the terrified expressions of the Reunion Movement members, Russell calmly detached the kunai from the halberd. He walked to the fallen Black Snake's spiritual body and inserted the spirit-binding kunai into it.

With a ding, the spirit-binding kunai lit up red. After a few flashes, it turned a calm white.

"I've captured the Black Snake!!"

Like an idiot, Russell raised the kunai in his hand, a sunny smile on his face.

ps: py

Synopsis: In two different Honkai worlds, screens appeared before everyone.

In the world without a Captain—Kiana successfully underwent Herrscher transformation, Murata Himeko died in battle, and the Great Eruption caused tens of millions of deaths and displacements.

In the world with a Captain—Otto's conspiracy was thwarted, everyone at St. Freya remained safe, and the Great Eruption caused by the Herrscher of the Void was completely suppressed.

In the world without a Captain—Kiana was covered in wounds, Mei was forced into domestic violence, and Bronya was constantly put in awkward situations.

In the world with a Captain—everyone was steadily growing, and no one was forced to leave their companions.

In the world without a Captain—Otto manipulated St. Freya, Anti-Entropy, and World Serpent, playing everyone in the palm of his hand.

In the world with a Captain—Otto's conspiracy was resolved by the Captain.

Original Otto: "Fortunately, I don't have this man here; otherwise, all my plans would be ruined."

Original Kiana: "Himeko-sensei, don't die... Damn it, why don't we have a Captain?"

Everyone in the Captain's world: "Ah, if the Captain weren't here, would we be living such miserable lives..."

Original Kevin: "Find that man. If he truly has the ability to defeat Honkai—get the Stigmata Project out of my face!"

Chapter Thirty-Six: Russell: I actually finished a mission?

Shortly before transmigrating, Russell saw an idiot end his journey.

He felt a touch of melancholy at the time.

My youth is over.

Russell, holding the kunai that had bound the Black Snake's soul, felt his youth returning.

Watching an idiot become a Pokemon Master was nowhere near as satisfying as becoming one himself.

Hooray!

He had decided: after the Face-to-Face Council meeting, he would order five more spirit-binding kunai and become a Pokemon Master!!

Russell's mood was brighter than ever before.

But, as he stepped onto the starting line of becoming a Pokemon Master, there was not a single clap of applause.

"Damn it, I'm the guy who subdued the will of Ursus at the start, at least a splinter of Ursus's national consciousness!"

"I'm definitely going to be the champion in the future."

Russell felt a surge of indignation. He turned to look at the Reunion Movement members beside him and found them all silent, from Talulah to Frostnova, then from Frostnova to Patriot, and finally the Shield Guards. If they hadn't been colored, they would have seemed like a collection of statues.

As Russell stared at them, a few non-elite Reunion Movement strongmen, who only had the strength to haul cargo, even started to tremble in their legs...

[Beep—, Talulah's fear of you has greatly increased]

[Beep—, Patriot's fear of you has increased]

[Beep—, Frostnova's fear of you has extremely greatly increased]

[Your reputation within the Reunion Movement has reached the point of absolute obedience; as long as there are no fundamental conflicts, the Reunion Movement will absolutely not betray you... they genuinely don't have the guts]

The combat skill from the prompt, when combined with the halberd, exuded an aura of world-shattering might.

"Ahem, everyone, don't be so serious. We just defeated Black Snake, we should smile more."

Russell walked to the front of the Reunion Movement, coughed twice, and gestured for everyone to be happier.

It was as if a knife was being held to their throats; the members of the Reunion Movement let out a series of very forced laughs.

Tsk—

Russell clicked his tongue.

Then, with waning interest, he returned to his residence and opened the chat group.

"Family, this is so frustrating. I helped the Reunion Movement take down a boss, and they didn't even applaud."

Russell selectively revealed information, complaining.
