Volume 1: The Gate of Flesh and Blood Chapter 49 A bold idea!
Goethe narrowed his eyes and looked at the two confronting figures.
'The Killer in the Fog' laughed out loud.
“You’re finally here!”
Amidst the joyful voice, the 'Mist Killer' opened his mouth, stuck out his long tongue, and licked his lips continuously.
It was different from the hunger and excitement he felt when he saw his prey when facing Goethe.
At this time, the 'Mist Killer' is...
proud!
An indescribable sense of pride appeared on the face of the 'Mist Killer'.
Almost unable to hold back, the 'Killer in the Fog' began to recount his own proud achievements.
"Do you know how much effort I put in to get a chance to be alone with you?"
"I killed Luster's keeper and had to face the pursuit of that bastard Morey."
"Then, I have to play some house games with the kid next to me."
"Finally, we have to bring the 'Flesh and Blood Church' into the game."
"but……"
“It’s all worth it.”
"You finally appeared in front of me alone!"
The 'Mist Killer' laughed triumphantly again.
"oh?"
"So, you came to Lust just for me?"
Skiffins was not angry at all, he just looked at the 'Killer in the Fog' in front of him with a very calm expression.
"certainly!"
"But I didn't expect there would be an unexpected gain!"
The 'Mist Killer' nodded, very frankly, then turned his head and looked at Goethe, saying: "I didn't expect that a person I met by chance in the Garden Club would be a descendant of the 'Mad King'. However, what I didn't expect was that the family of the 'Mad King's' descendants would actually have clues to the 'Mad King's Treasure'."
"Thanks to you and your family, my life in Luster is not so boring."
"Thank you for your 'cooperation' as well."
"Without you, I wouldn't have been able to get the 'Flesh and Blood Church' to join so easily!"
"It's even more impossible to make Skiffins, the famous owner of the Pine Nut Hotel, believe in the so-called 'secret place'!"
As he spoke, the 'Killer in the Mist' pretended to bow to Goethe, then he raised his right hand and pointed to a ring on his index finger to Goethe, still speaking in that impatient tone.
"Does it look familiar?"
"Your grandfather's."
"It's said to be the Mad King 's ring. Even though it's fake, I still like it very much, so I put it on."
"Do you know now what you did wrong?"
"You're a piece of trash!"
After the words fell, the 'Killer in the Mist' laughed crazily.
In the distance, Goethe's narrowed eyes flashed with a cold light.
He recognized the ring.
It was indeed the one that 'his' grandfather wore every day and never took off.
He finally understood what the 'Mist Killer' meant by waiting a moment.
The other party is waiting for someone.
Waiting for the owner of the Pine Nut Hotel!
This young man who looks to be in his twenties, with a calm expression but a faint sense of oppression, is the target in the other party's heart!
What happened before?
They're just smokescreens.
The hunt for the Wayne family.
The so-called secret place.
The situation is getting increasingly pressing.
They are all means used by the other party.
The purpose is to be able to face this young man alone and kill him.
Goethe thought of it.
Skiffins naturally thought of it too.
"I see."
"That secret place is fake"
"You fooled me from beginning to end."
The owner of the Pine Nut Hotel sighed, but his expression remained calm.
It seemed that the person who was fooled was not him.
This expression caused dissatisfaction among the 'Killer in the Fog'.
He stared at the owner of the Pine Nut Hotel, his eyes full of confusion.
"Is that all?"
"What about your anger?"
"Where's your howl?"
"This doesn't match the rumors about you!"
As the 'Killer in the Fog' spoke, he walked towards the owner of the Pine Nut Inn. In his hand appeared a long and narrow dagger, with a blade on one side and serrations on the other.
The sword blade shines with a cold light, but the teeth are stained with rust, which makes people feel weird when they see it.
The 'Mist Killer' raised the dagger in front of him and continued.
"'The Executioner' is a prop from a secret place somewhere."
"Not only is it sharp, but anyone who is cut by it will feel as if they have been torn apart by five horses - I hope you, Skiffins, can endure this kind of pain."
"Not only do I like to use it to torture and kill my opponents, but also because..."
"This is what the adult wants to see!"
whoosh!
As soon as he finished speaking, the 'Mist Killer' disappeared.
When he appeared again, he was standing behind the owner of the Matsunut Hotel.
However, at this time, the 'Killer in the Fog' frowned slightly.
because……
The feel is wrong!
The other party turned his head subconsciously.
The owner of the Pine Nut Hotel, who was standing there, turned his head and looked at him, and then -
Bang!
It burst like a soap bubble and disappeared.
phantom?!
The 'Killer in the Fog' was startled.
Just now, the other party didn't realize that the owner of the Pine Nut Hotel who appeared there was actually an illusion.
It's so true!
Breathing, heartbeat, body temperature, everything!
It's totally impossible to tell the real from the fake!
But, on the surface, 'The Killer in the Fog' was dismissive.
"Child's trick!"
Then, the 'Killer in the Fog' raised his hand and waved it. Thick fog instantly began to spread in all directions with the other party as the center, like a surging tide with a fierce momentum.
"Yeah?"
The mist disappeared with this whisper before it really spread.
The owner of the Pine Nut Hotel reappeared at the place where he had been standing before, with a torn scroll in his hand.
The power within the scroll blew away the thick fog like fallen leaves in a strong wind.
The 'Mist Killer' waved his hands violently.
Whoosh, whoosh!
Two stones as big as bullets hit the owner of the Pine Nut Hotel directly.
Bang!
With a crisp sound, two stones shattered and a layer of ripples appeared on the surface of the Pine Nut Hotel owner's body.
The two stones did not hurt the owner of the Pine Nut Hotel at all. Even though an invisible sharp blade instantly cut through the ripples, nothing was left except for a ripple.
Then, the owner of the Pine Nut Hotel took out another scroll.
Boom!
After gently tearing off a corner, a bolt of lightning suddenly fell from the clear night sky and struck the 'Mist Killer'.
The 'Killer in the Fog' was very fast. When he saw the owner of the Pine Nut Hotel taking out the scroll, he tried to dodge. But no matter how fast he was, how could he be faster than lightning?
The 'Mist Killer' fell to the ground after being struck by lightning.
The whole body was charred and smoking.
But, not dead!
The other party struggled to stand up.
The owner of the Pine Nut Hotel looked at the 'Killer in the Fog' with a calm expression, and then took out another scroll.
Boom!
Another lightning strike.
This time, the 'Killer in the Mist' fell to the ground completely.
Goethe, who was watching this fighting style from a distance, felt a little envious for some reason.
This safe and efficient way of fighting has always been what he pursued.
Unfortunately, consulting Mrs. Pence over the past three days made him realize that this was simply not something he could bear.
The price of any scroll used by the owner of the Pine Nut Hotel just now is probably more expensive than his entire fortune.
Therefore, Goethe quickly adjusted his mindset and looked at the owner of the Pine Nut Hotel who was walking towards the 'Killer in the Fog' step by step.
At this moment, the 'Mist Killer' who had fallen to the ground and seemed unconscious suddenly opened his eyes, and a scroll appeared in his hand.
"Don't think you're the only one!"
The 'Mist Killer' growled and tore open the scroll.
call!
The raging fire rushed towards the owner of the Pine Nut Hotel and enveloped him.
“Haha… eh?!”
The 'Mist Killer' laughed loudly, but it stopped immediately.
Because the owner of the Matsuko Hotel disappeared again.
However, unlike before, this time when he disappeared, the owner of the Pine Nut Hotel spoke softly.
"Stupid."
Teasing!
No!
It's revenge!
The owner of the Pine Nut Hotel chose this way of fighting in order to avenge the 'Mist Killer' for playing tricks on him - Goethe looked at the scene in front of him and suddenly realized this from the bottom of his heart.
When the 'Killer in the Fog' came to his senses he understood it instantly.
“Ahhhh!”
The 'Mist Killer' screamed crazily.
Then, turning around, I saw Goethe.
"You dare to laugh at me?"
"I kill you!"
While yelling, the 'Mist Killer' appeared in front of Goethe in a flash, and stabbed Goethe's chest with the 'Executioner' in his hand.
Goethe dodged subconsciously.
But at this moment, a bold idea suddenly arose from the bottom of my heart.
He stopped dodging.
