Chapter 7: The Final Battle

I could feel my left hand inserted into that warm body, and the screams that accompanied this attack were akin to the roar of a beast before its death. In my palm, I could even sense the slick, moist texture of the internal organs. "This is it, just obediently die for me." The accumulated magical power finally erupted from my palm. At the moment I withdrew my hand, the black figure let out a "bang" and exploded from within. Only then did I let out a sigh of relief.

What is the matter

Hmph, this kind of outdated and clichéd preaching is of no use to me at all

Although it is somewhat troublesome, it is not a problem. It should ... ...

Oh? An absolute ability user

Hmph

Accompanied by soft laughter, You seemed to float out from the thicket like a ghost, arriving before me and Elisa. Then, bowing to Elisa, he said, "Nice to meet you, Miss Elisa von Francis, the next heir of the Francis family."

Although her tone was quite regretful, Yuna's smiling lips betrayed her. This person surely does not feel regretful at all in her heart

You are still young; when you grow up, you will realize that it is not the kind of power one possesses that determines the path one must take

Elisa looked at me without the slightest hint of panic. It seemed that although she was still a child, she was indeed worthy of being the heir of a prominent family, showing no signs of surprise or fear in the face of such a situation

I do not want it

"Huh, how did the two of you end up arguing here?"

Can we use magic to create a vortex of wind and then resolve the situation quickly? Although it seems quite wild, it is indeed a very effective tactic

At this moment, she does not resemble an innocent and carefree child; rather, she appears to be a capable and astute lady. It is somewhat disconcerting to hear such mature words coming from someone who still looks like a child.

I close my eyes, feeling the energy in the darkness. In the world of night, I have no possible opponents. The magic in my left hand has gradually coalesced, and I can sense the surgical knives appearing one after another beneath Jack's cloak. His hands rise and then rush towards me at high speed. Hmph, foolish guy. If I take this seriously, I could handle such things in a minute. When I open my eyes, under the moonlight, I can clearly see that black figure gliding to my left like flowing clouds and water, the surgical knife reflecting the cold light of the moon, coming at me. This is the third close-range attack; even the most foolish person would not be deceived by the same tactic three times in a row. His close combat tactics are merely an attempt to divert my attention. When my thoughts shift from defeating him to self-protection, I naturally relax my mental demands on him. Subconsciously, I lower my focus to the stage of capturing him, but now that the trick has been exposed, he is nothing more than an ordinary murderer to me.

Is that guy also a different species

Please make sure to take good care of her, as she is extremely important to the reformists as the next heir of the Françoise family. Moreover, the burden she carries is also a powerful force closely related to the library.

If that is the case, then taking money outside of your official duties surely counts as dereliction of duty, doesn't it? Please, you heartless fox, do some good deeds and accumulate some virtue. However, as much as I may complain, just by looking at Yuna's determined smile, I know she won't willingly hand over the money to me. Helpless, after bidding her farewell, I drove back. Meanwhile, Elisa had been pouting since earlier, neither looking at the night scenery outside nor speaking to me, seemingly still sulking.

The young lady nodded, her bright red eyes suddenly filled with an unusual hostility

Well, this fellow is in your hands

Mr. Zhun, did you do something to make her angry

Elisa wore a look of dissatisfaction; of course, anyone would be unhappy being pushed around like a piece of cargo. However, for me, I was eager to rid myself of this major hassle. With Jack eliminated, there was no longer any need for Ying to stay with me. It seems that good things are truly coming one after another.

I transformed my left hand from a fist to an open palm, and after dodging the knife he swung at me, I slashed downwards. The air was pulled by my movement, creating a tremendous force of attraction. Jack had no time to escape my attack range and had to brace himself with his shoulder against the blow. He let out a low grunt, intending to retreat, but the powerful wind had already formed a vortex, as if a giant hand was pulling him closer to me. After all, a different species is still a different species; it wouldn't be so easy to take him down. As I had anticipated, he floated directly towards me again. With the influence of the wind, his speed was much faster than before, but I was waiting for this very opportunity. Chanting the filthy name passed down from the darkness, I charged towards him against the powerful wind.

Well, you are right

This cunning fox, you really have been watching from the side

Have you seen through me

It is finally over

Just a moment ago, he was clearly mature like an adult, so why has he turned back into that troublesome little brat again

Elisa took a light step back, as if she were dancing to some rhythm

You are truly wasteful; if you possessed such power...

A single remark pulled me from my beautiful delusions back to reality, as I saw the young lady climbing into the passenger seat, then closing the door. She seemed unwilling to come out. I asked her what kind of temper this was. Just a moment ago, she had said that my room was so messy and disorganized that it was unbearable to look at. Moreover, with Ying there, weren't you the one who disliked living with humans the most? I exchanged a glance with You and sighed helplessly. You's house was not only larger than mine but also much better. Additionally, it was located in a mountainous area with a quite pleasant environment. What exactly are you dissatisfied with? In any case, it would be good to go take a look.

In my jurisdiction, there is such a blatant conflict of magical forces; if I remain indifferent, would that not be a dereliction of duty

For those who can wield the power of demons, this level of trash is certainly nothing remarkable

I helplessly took a cigarette from the inner pocket of my clothes and lit it, amusingly gazing at the young lady before me under the bright moonlight

Elisa lowered her head in disappointment. I walked over to her side with a book and sighed

If I had to say there was something, it would be that I just declined her invitation. However, I regarded that merely as a child's joke, because although many people wish to draw us into both sides' camps, we will always adhere to a position of non-interference and non-participation, avoiding their invitations. She, being just a child, probably cannot understand how important it is for a faction to grasp its own position. However, this matter naturally cannot be discussed with You, because even if it were mentioned, it would not change anything.

You seemed to want to say something more, but in the end, you hesitated to speak.

A pile of broken meat lay before me, and in the end, I still could not discern its true identity. With a hint of regret, I took out a tissue to wipe the blood from my left arm and walked towards Eliza. This willful young lady crossed her arms and welcomed my return with a smile full of appreciation

What should I do? Is there still a need to ask?

Indeed

Hmph, I didn't expect that mere humans would possess such abilities. What do you intend to do

No, there isn't...

Then, I can only trouble you, Mr. Zhun, to continue taking care of her

Is that so? Then I am very sorry

Not at all, this is actually nothing remarkable

You can't even deal with this guy, can you

There is nothing wrong with being buried; even with such power, I have never thought of doing anything earth-shattering.

When facing him, be sure not to think of words like capture or trap

"Listen to what I say," Elisa said with a cold snort of dissatisfaction

Ah, it is a human subspecies

As usual, I wait for the guy to take the initiative to attack. If I ignore him now and continue driving forward, I wonder what his reaction will be. Perhaps he knows I am pursuing him, or maybe he has some other intention. But none of this matters; I remain silent and focused. This time, you cannot escape again.

Seeing the arrival of You, I felt a sense of relief

The weakness of absolute ability lies in the key point of activation. If we grasp this key and adhere to this rule, then the ability will not activate. Of course, this requires skillful handling. Moreover, this individual's ability is particularly troublesome, as the activation condition is exceedingly simple; as long as anyone has the thought of capturing him, the ability will immediately activate to protect him. It is incredibly difficult to avoid thinking about or doing anything to capture him while fighting against him, akin to walking a tightrope. Since this is the case, one can only change their mindset.

Bang

Are you also a different species

Regardless, please do your job well. Your performance in the battle just now was truly outstanding, ha ha ha ... ...

Elisa also jumped down from the car and walked over to me to inquire.

I do not want to see

Hello, are you planning to throw me to this woman

When I drove back to the apartment, it was already midnight

Please do me a favor, young lady

Why are you unwilling to join our reform faction? You possess such great power, yet you are content to be buried in this marketplace
