- The Reincarnation World Where Only I Know the Storyline
- RWWOKS Chapter 147
Gripping the Dragoon tightly in his hand, Fang Bo’s gaze darkened as he stared at the person before him.
After sprinting all the way here, only to find no heads to claim, his mood was sour.
Even if his strength wasn’t top-notch, every person was worth at least some points. There was no way he would just let others take them for free.
If someone stole his kill, they’d have to repay it with their life.
[ID 10720 (Alchemist)]
[Attack Inclination: High]
[Attribute Inclination: Spirit, Perception]
[Trait: Carbon Alchemy]
[Threat Assessment: Slightly Inferior]
Carbon Alchemy: Allows the user to condense the hardest substance in the world.
A “slightly inferior” rating meant that at least one of the attributes had reached its limit. The value started at 3 points.
“If you swallow what’s mine, you’ll have to return it double.”
[You activated the skill Ammo Master, consuming 2 spirit points. The next bullet will cause additional fire damage.]
Just as the gun barrel locked onto the target, Fang Bo’s expression suddenly shifted.
He frantically backpedaled, trying to avoid the massive guandao cleaving down from the sky.
Thanks to his sharp perception and excellent agility, Fang managed to dodge the direct slash.
However, the follow-up sword energy still tore a gaping wound in his chest, deep enough to expose bone.
[You were hit by the sword energy from ID 16205, suffering 188 points of piercing damage.]
[Talent trait “Heart of Steel” activated, restoring 98 health points.]
Luckily, Heart of Steel softened the blow, though it still resulted in a terrifying 90 points of damage.
If he had taken the hit directly, weaker reincarnators would have been killed instantly.
Bang!
A fiery bullet hit the enemy, causing the voluptuous woman wielding the guandao to grunt as her upper body was engulfed in flames.
With a slight twitch of his finger, Fang commanded his automaton to follow up, intending to kill the woman on the spot.
However, just as it landed, a strange round object was hurled in front of it.
A deafening explosion followed, sending the automaton flying, its durability dropping by nearly 200 points.
“What the hell?” Fang Bo glared at the man who had stolen his kill.
The man had a trait called Carbon Alchemy. If Fang wasn’t mistaken, this ability came from “Scion Alchemist,” an excellent anime he had studied closely.
With that in mind, it wasn’t hard to guess the man’s methods.
“An alchemical bomb?” Fang Bo pulled his automaton in front of him, wincing at its scorched body.
All of this costs money, after all.
There was no point in talking; as long as they weren’t from the same faction, there was no possibility of communication.
No matter the reason behind the sudden terrain shift, Fang’s intention was simple: kill any enemy who appeared in front of him.
“Attack!”
The alchemist hesitated slightly, instinctively glancing at the mentally unstable plot character beside him.
He quickly realized that the danger must be coming from somewhere else, as that person had no immediate intention to strike.
As for his teammate, who had been scouting outside earlier, the sudden terrain shift in the Death Forest had caused them to lose contact.
Initially, they had intended to regroup slowly, but shortly after, they came across a fight in the distance.
With a head ripe for the taking, how could he pass up the chance? He immediately used his alchemy to take out the fleeing man.
Of course, this action would enrage the pursuer, so it all came down to who was stronger now.
With a wave of his hand, the man activated his alchemy, creating a dark, ink-like barrier around him.
Not only did it block the enemy’s golden greatsword, but it also fended off the sneak attack from a large half-spider behind him.
“An automaton and a shikigami?” The alchemist didn’t have detection abilities, but he could roughly gauge his opponent’s strength.
Reincarnators of this type usually feared close-quarter combat.
“Yun Chang!”
“Leave it to me.”
Seeing the woman charging toward him, Fang Bo’s expression grew a bit strange.
What did they just call her? Yun Chang?
That’s a pretty domineering name for a girl.
He sent his automaton forward, planning to use Sun Breathing sword techniques to repel the enemy.
But the voluptuous woman swung her guandao in a wide arc, instantly sweeping everything around her with a sharp blast of sword energy.
The automaton’s waist nearly snapped in half, its durability dropping by over 100 points.
“This woman’s strength is terrifying,” Fang Bo muttered with a darkened gaze, realizing he was no match for her in close combat.
He retreated frantically while throwing a detection skill at her.
[ID 16205 (Five Tiger Generals)]
[Attack Inclination: High]
[Attribute Inclination: Strength, Agility, Constitution]
[Trait: Martial Saint (Sealed), Heart of Martial Arts]
[Threat Assessment: Slightly Inferior]
Heart of Martial Arts: You possess the determination to reach the pinnacle of martial prowess. The cost of upgrading skills is reduced by 60%.
The fact that her trait was sealed meant that this ability couldn’t be used for the time being, for reasons that couldn’t be easily discerned.
It was just unexpected that the sealed ability couldn’t be investigated further.
“Maybe it was a legendary trait before it was sealed?”
Looking at the title “Five Tiger Generals” and remembering her being called Yun Chang earlier, a bold idea flashed through Fang Bo’s mind.
This muscular, bronze-skinned, voluptuous woman in front of him must be Guan Yu from his memory.
However, she wasn’t from history, but from a certain plot world.
If his guess was right, it was probably the plot world of “Ikki Tousen.”
In other words, she was a rare follower.
Fang Bo understood the situation, though there was one thing he couldn’t figure out: how did the alchemist make this woman betray Liu Bei?
Even if she was an anime character, some fundamental traits would remain unchanged.
He glanced at the alchemist hiding in the back and, recalling the man’s abilities, some ideas began to form in his mind.
“It must have been some disgusting method.”
Scion Alchemist—one of the manga he had studied closely in his past life. He knew exactly what kind of world it depicted.
Normally, there was no way Guan Yu could be recruited, which could only mean something had happened to force her into submission.
“Kill me.”
Suddenly, Fang Bo heard the woman mutter under her breath.
Slowly raising his head, he clearly saw the blood tears streaming down his opponent’s cheeks, confirming that what he had just heard was not an illusion.
“Alright.” Fang Bo said no more. Instead, he silently waved his cloak as black marks began to spread wildly across his body.
Curse Mark, Stage Two: Activate!
Overall, Fang Bo’s appearance didn’t change drastically after activating the second stage of the Curse Mark. His skin darkened to a grayish color, his hair grew longer, and sharp claws extended from his hands.
The real transformation was in his agility and mental attributes.
Agility: 20 (+7)
Spirit: 39 (+20)
“I will help end your suffering,” Fang Bo promised her.
Hearing this, the woman silently nodded before swinging her crescent blade, sending a slash through the air toward him.
The terrifying strike split the air, but Fang Bo, with his heightened battle awareness, successfully dodged it.
With his agility now reaching twenty points, his movements had become significantly nimble—although, of course, it depended on who he was compared against.
In terms of speed and explosive power, the woman in front of him was clearly superior.
As she deflected the incoming golden greatsword, Guan Yun Chang silently stepped forward, quickly closing in on her fleeing target with just a single stride.
A faint golden glow flickered, and her crescent blade heavily slammed into the energy shield of Fang Bo’s Memory Armor.
Due to the spatial suppression on her attributes, she wasn’t able to shatter the shield with one strike, but that didn’t matter—it was just a matter of a couple more slashes.
With a reverse grip on the blade, she used the momentum of her waist to launch an upward spinning slash of sword energy. However, this strike wasn’t aimed at Fang Bo, but rather at the rampaging Jugo behind him, who had been yelling madly.
Initially intending to launch a sneak attack, Jugo was instead sent flying by her counter, finding it hard to cope with her wild and overwhelming combat style.
Temporarily fending off the powerful enemy, she turned back to continue attacking Fang Bo, making it clear she wanted to eliminate him quickly.
Seeing this, Fang Bo stopped dodging. He gathered his mental energy furiously while his hands swiftly completed the not-too-complicated hand seals.
“I will free you now.”
Imitation: Crystal Dragon Destruction Technique!
Pouring in 25 points of spirit energy, Fang Bo summoned a massive crystal dragon, even more imposing than what Guren could create.
Even the mighty Martial Saint Guan Yun Chang couldn’t fend it off head-on, using her crescent blade merely to hold off the dragon’s ferocious bite.
Calling over Xianglin, who had been hiding nearby, Fang Bo bit into the girl’s shoulder, allowing his depleted spirit energy to quickly replenish.
The enemy was strong, but unfortunately, she had chosen the wrong opponent. At least in this Death Forest, no one could defeat this small team.
Boom!
As the crystal dragon crashed to the ground, Fang Bo felt the earth beneath him tremble slightly.
However, he still hadn’t received the kill notification, which meant that the woman wasn’t dead yet.
“Tough life,” Fang Bo muttered, leaping lightly into the air and activating his boots’ levitation skill.
He had to finish her off. He couldn’t let an opponent of her strength recover.
Even though her attributes were suppressed by the space, Guan Yun Chang was still an incredibly powerful follower.
As he approached the crystal dragon, a golden light suddenly pierced the clouds, as if some fearsome creature was awakening.
From the shattered remains of the crystal dragon, the woman emerged, holding her crescent blade high above her head.
The overwhelming aura she radiated caused everyone present to tremble.
“Hahaha,” the alchemist hiding behind his diamond barrier laughed upon seeing this. “You’ve triggered her Martial Saint’s Heart—this is perfect.”
“My little Yun Chang, kill them all, and I’ll give you the reward you want when it’s over.”
However, his words no longer held any sway over the woman. Having regained her Martial Saint’s Heart, Guan Yun Chang would never again be controlled by anyone.
“Prepare yourself. This will be my strongest strike, even if it costs me my life!”
With that, she swung her crescent blade, releasing a golden crescent slash that tore through the ground.
Guan Yu’s Eight-Trigram Yang Style: God of War Slash!
Forcibly overloading her spirit energy, the ultimate consequence would be brain death, but it didn’t matter—she had already achieved her goal.
The golden crescent raced toward Fang Bo, but he stood motionless, as if he hadn’t sensed the deadly attack coming.
From a distance, Guren raised her hand in fear, only to see the crescent blade narrowly miss her teammate and continue toward the dumbfounded alchemist.
“You…”
Boom!
The seemingly indestructible diamond barrier shattered like tofu in the face of the God of War Slash.
As a follower, Yun Chang might not have been able to harm the man directly, but that didn’t mean she couldn’t break through his strongest defense.
“Oops, looks like I missed,” the woman smiled slightly, her eyes filled with the satisfaction of revenge.
Then, she slowly lowered her head, and with that, her life slipped away.
[You have killed an enemy reincarnator from a hostile space, earning a personal-exclusive kill box]
[You earned 15 battlefield points]
Guan Yun Chang, with her three enhanced attributes, had directly awarded fifteen points—an undeniably generous reward.
But for some reason, Fang Bo couldn’t help but feel an odd surge of emotion.
He stopped the ghost spider from moving forward to consume the corpse, unwilling to let the woman’s body be defiled.
It was his way of repaying her for helping him.
Bending down, he picked up the dropped loot box. After a brief pause, Fang Bo clumsily performed a recently learned sealing technique.
Taking out a blank scroll, he sealed Guan Yun Chang’s body inside.
Her final strike had been nothing short of stunning, far more powerful than his Crystal Dragon Destruction. If he could turn her into a human puppet, it might even surpass the legendary Zero One.
